Episode 119: When Mental Health Goes Public

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/22

Today’s OK Bud is heavy: we cover the devastating story of a New Hampshire mom who killed her entire family and herself after posting about “making changes” on TikTok, the shocking arrest of Lil Nas X after a very public breakdown, and the panic at Villanova University caused by an active shooter report that turned out to be nothing more than a cruel hoax. It’s an episode about the dangers of online lives colliding with offline consequences, served with the Buds’ trademark dark humor. See Privacy

Episode 118: The Rise of Benny Two Chainz and the...

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/20

In today’s chaos: a UK kid who acid-attacked his own dad gets eight years in prison but is now releasing rap TikToks his father wants nothing to do with, officials announce that kink might actually be the new path to better mental health, and Ben introduces his swaggering alter ego, Benny Two Chainz. It’s an episode that swings between the disturbing, the bizarre, and the hilarious—sometimes all at once. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

Episode 117: Zombie Squirrels and Robot Babies

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/18

This episode is equal parts surreal and hilarious: Britney’s latest instagram session inspires Jerii’s nicest X Factor host impression, neighborhoods across America face a creeping rodent apocalypse, science pushes the limits of where newborns come from, and evolution quietly edits our bodies while we’re not looking. It's Britney, babies and breakthroughs on another fantastic OK Bud! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

Episode 116: Happy Birthday Kyle!

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/16

This week’s OK Bud opens with full-blown birthday chaos as Kyle turns 39, complete with glitter bombs and silly string warfare. From there, we stumble (literally) into the story of a man who broke his arm tripping over the world’s biggest penis — his own. Next, we explore proof of interdimensional beings from a woman named Luna, because of course her name is Luna. And finally, Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger gets in trouble in solitary confinement for being caught with suspiciously red

Epsiode 115: You Can't See Me...Because I'm in Jail

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/15

Today on OK Bud, we hop right into the grim world of Franken rabbits — bunnies suffering from horrific facial growths that are killing them in droves. Then we pull the plug on Meta AI, which has allegedly been speaking romantically to children and even sending illegal sexual voice messages… in John Cena’s voice (yes, really). Finally, we wrap up with the bizarre arrest of a man who allegedly put Gorilla Glue in his coworkers’ drinks, because apparently felony poisoning is just another office prank

Episode 114: Coming to the Stage...DJ Crime Scene!

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/12

We open with big Bud news — Jerii makes an on-screen appearance in a health insurance commercial, proving that stardom sometimes comes with a deductible. Then we head to Florida, where a wedding DJ (who still lives with his parents) was arrested for lewd behavior at a children’s park and museum — an RSVP no one wanted. Finally, we check in on Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, who’s complaining about constant harassment in prison, as if that isn’t part of the package.From Bud fame to

Episode 113: David Berkowitz Looks Like He Works at...

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/11

On the anniversary of his capture, we revisit Son of Sam — the guy who terrorized New York in the ‘70s and somehow looked more like a deli worker than a serial killer. Then we crown the winners and losers of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, celebrating the mangy, the snaggle-toothed, and the perpetually confused. Finally, we break down the best and worst potato chip flavors, from top-tier classics to whatever war crime “salmon flavor” was supposed to be. It’s murder, mutts, and munchies — a truly

Episode 112: From Arrests to Breasts

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/08

Today on OK Bud, we venture to Brooklyn at an ice cream parlor serving a breastmilk-flavored ice cream, because apparently we’ve run out of normal flavors. Then we head to NYC where a kidnapper was caught and immediately begged police to let him talk to his mom — proving some people never outgrow the playground. Finally, we wrap up in midair with a woman who grounded an entire flight after she destroyed the bathroom from food poisoning, making her the unofficial worst passenger of the year. It’s

Episode 111: Cancer, Crypto and the Family Tree You...

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/07

Today’s episode of OK Bud is one for the hall of shame. First, we meet a British man who claims he got throat cancer from oral sex — which is basically the plot of a health PSA that writes itself. Then things get really Arkansas when a mother and son duo are arrested for full-on incest, reminding us all that DNA is not an aphrodisiac. And finally, a crypto bro comes forward to proudly take credit for throwing sex toys onto the court at WNBA games — because the blockchain wasn’t cringe enough

Episode 110: Grimace's Truth

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/05

Today, OK Bud dives straight into the absurd. First up: the internet lost its collective mind when it was confirmed that Grimace is actually a giant purple taste bud — which somehow raises more questions than it answers. Then we head to Italy, where people are renting storage containers for sex like it’s a deleted scene from Fast & the Furiously Horny. And finally, Las Vegas casinos are now taking bets on the color of the next sex toy to be thrown at a WNBA game — because sports are beautiful,

Episode 109: Courtside to Court Dates

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/04

Today on OK Bud, the chaos is nothing but net. First, the sex toy bandits strike again — this time at their second WNBA game, because apparently one heist just wasn’t enough. Then we head to Wembley Stadium, where an Oasis concert took a dive when one fan literally fell off a balcony — in the same week the Gallagher brothers’ older brother, Paul, was arrested for sex crimes. And finally, we wrap things up with the story of Michael Jackson’s dirty sock selling for $9,000 — proof that pop culture

Episode 108: Is that a Boob In Your Ribs, Or...?

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/04

Today on OK Bud, we’re digging deep into the headlines no one asked for — starting with Nikki Bella’s rogue breast implant, which somehow ended up lodged between her ribs like a tiny silicone stowaway. Then we meet a woman who stole a car and might’ve gotten away with it... if she hadn’t confessed to the entire crime in her diary like it was the fourth grade. And finally, South African scientists are irradiating rhino horns to fight poachers — because nothing says conservation like radioactive

Episode 107: Farm to Toilet

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/04

Today on OK Bud, we peel back the wild, weird origin of the potato — a humble starch with a colonial past and way too much drama. Then we dive headfirst into the very real case of a woman who chose coffee enemas over cancer treatment… and paid the ultimate price for trying to poop out a tumor. Finally, we head into the woods to talk about the capture of the Devil’s Den killer, a man who proved once again that nothing good ever happens near a place called Devil’s Den. Taters, turds, and true crime —

Episode 106: Your Pug is Too Damn Fat

OK Bud! ·

2025/08/04

Today the Buds dissect the internet pile‑on over a Sydney Sweeney/American Eagle promo that some corners of the web decided looked… historically yikes. We sort rumor from reality and ask why the timeline keeps cosplaying as the outrage Olympics. Then: America’s obese dog epidemic—how our fur babies became fur boulders (and what actually helps). Finally, a woman gets ghosted by her AI boyfriend while juggling a real boyfriend in Rome—proof that even robots need “space.” It’s brand safety meets belly

Episode 105: Yankee Doodle Doin' It

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/28

OK Bud Episode 105 is a grab bag of American nightmares. First, we head to a wholesome local fair where things go completely Final Destination — and someone literally gets scalped by a carnival ride. Then we swing over to Yankee Stadium, where one couple decided 9 innings wasn’t enough... so they added a public sex act to the scorecard during a Yankees-Phillies game. Finally, things take a dark nosedive as we cover a chilling case involving a 30-year-old man, his 22-year-old girlfriend, and her

Episode 104: This Episode Smells Weird

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/26

This week on OK Bud, things get weird… and weirder. We kick things off with the legend of the Burbank Butt Sniffer — a mystery man with a nose for trouble and no shame in his game. Then we dive cheeks-first into the real side effects of cosmetic surgery: the unholy stank of butt implants. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, we resurface to ask: did Ghislaine Maxwell cut a deal? Because someone’s still protecting powerful creeps, and it smells worse than silicone stew.Come for the

Episode 103: Porta-Parties and The Burger King...

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/25

In this week’s unhinged installment of OK Bud, we wade into the deep end of internet rot and pop culture madness. First up: Russia has invented a new kind of party — and it involves porta potties, dancing, and deeply concerning life choices. Then we get blue in the face over a theory that the Smurfs are actually pushing some seriously problematic messaging (yeah, that kind of problematic). And finally, we mourn (sort of) the bizarre death of the Burger King “lettuce stomper” — the guy who went viral

Episode 102: RIP Ozzy Osbourne

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/23

Is Ozzy Osbourne finally headbanging in the afterlife? The OK Bud crew digs into breaking news around the death of the Prince of Darkness . Then we take a hard left into the next realm, where one woman claims she saw glowing blue fish people during her near-death experience (and no, she wasn’t on mushrooms). Finally, we get into the real nightmare: serial killer Robert Pickton — the Canadian pig farmer whose crimes are more disturbing than most people remember.From rock legends to reptilian

Episode 101: Happy Birthday Ben!

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/22

It’s Ben Kissel’s birthday, and the OK Bud crew just got back from a BBQ-fueled weekend in the strange and sandy outpost of Pioneertown, California. After digesting enough tri-tip to sedate a bull, we dive headfirst into the kind of stories that haunt your group chat: a premeditated murder with major “they planned this in a Chili’s parking lot” energy, the shocking truth behind the infamous McDonald’s coffee burn case (she wasn’t being dramatic — she was being cooked), and a chilling update on the

Toilet Town, Burrito Blood, and a Cheating Exec: OK...

OK Bud! ·

2025/07/18

We made it to 100 episodes! And to celebrate, we’re diving into a burrito factory meat grinder mishap, a sanitation scandal that turned Hopewell into Nope-well, and a CEO who got busted cheating—at a Coldplay concert. Ben Kissel, Jerii Aquino, and Kyle Ploof break it all down the only way OK BUD knows how: questionably, but with heart.
