Episode 58: The Mic That Keeps on Giving

Send us a text

Ever wonder if that karaoke microphone is harboring a secret infection? In this wildly entertaining episode, we dive into the bizarre case of a woman who claims she contracted herpes from singing her heart out at a Chinese karaoke bar. While medical experts cast doubt on her story, it opens up a fascinating conversation about disease transmission and perhaps relationship alibis gone wrong.

From strange infections to dangerous obsessions, we examine the disturbing case of a misogynist armed with a crossbow who attacked two women in Leeds before taking his own life. His plans for an "Otley Run Massacre" thankfully fell far short of his deranged ambitions, leading to a discussion about the twisted psychology behind such attacks and society's fascination with these stories.

Technology takes center stage as we unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming our world in unexpected ways. Australian radio listeners were shocked to discover their favorite host "Thye" was actually an AI creation after six months of daily broadcasts. Meanwhile, deepfake technology poses serious threats to our justice system, with experts warning that fabricated video evidence could send innocent people to prison. The recently passed "Take It Down Act" aims to criminalize deepfake revenge porn, but could it be misused by politicians to suppress criticism?

We wrap up with a journey into the world of UFO conspiracies, exploring claims that the Vatican holds secret knowledge about extraterrestrial encounters and the chilling assertion from renowned researcher Jacques Vallée that UFOs have deliberately caused human deaths. Whether you're skeptical or open-minded, these stories highlight our enduring fascination with the unknown.

And the darkest of the bunch: a man who kept four vulnerable adults trapped in his basement for over a decade, abusing and stealing from them until he was finally caught.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 136: To Leave or Not to Leave?

Friday’s episode covers a little bit of everything: first, we get updates on D4VD-- and realize Kyle actually does know one of his songs — thanks to endless TikTok memes. Then the Buds wrestle with a surprisingly heavy debate: the morality of leaving shopping carts outside the “cart womb”, and what it says about the soul of society. Finally, we discuss the man arrested for making what he claimed were rage-bait videos, which turned out to be plain old hate crimes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wednesday’s episode begins with the grim reveal of the identity of the body found in d4vd’s Tesla, closing one of LA’s eeriest mysteries. Then we spiral straight into dystopia as bathrooms begin requiring you to watch ads just to get toilet paper, because even basic bodily functions are now monetized.

Episode 132: Grandma’s Got a Body Count

Episode 132: Grandma’s Got a Body Count

Monday’s OK Bud is a rollercoaster of sweet, sad, and slightly horrifying. We start with Costco’s new 4-pound pumpkin pie, a dessert so massive it might actually unite the world. Then we dive into the grim tale of an elderly woman with dementia who killed another resident in a nursing home, before Kyle bravely admits what he used to think “breast cancer” meant as a kid (spoiler: he was wildly off). We wrap with Walmart arming employees with body cameras to combat theft, because apparently we’re living in a dystopian buddy cop reboot.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
