In this Thanksgiving edition of OK Bud, the Buds discuss why Kyle is wearing a chicken suit, the do's and don't of turkey-day sides, as well as digging into why Slenderman is so darn cranky!
In today's episode, the Buds cover awfully (and criminally) executed pranks in Turkey and beyond, an update on Anna Kepner's step-brother who may have been behind her murder and concealment, and Costco cracks down on self-checkout non-member theivery.
In Episode 168, the Buds dive into a major development: an LAPD source confirms that D4VD is now officially considered a suspect in the Celeste Rivas case — and there may be additional people under investigation. Meanwhile, The Simpsons quietly kill off another character, reminding us that the show outlives everyone. And finally, the Buds explore the top 5 most lustful cities in America, a list that proves the nation is far thirstier than anyone expected.
Today the Buds take a chaotic trip around the globe. First stop: a rugby stadium, where a mystery pooper on a stadium lift disgusted spectators and even a world-famous chef. Then we fly to China, where a tourist accidentally burned down a temple after knocking over ceremonial candles like a clumsy kaiju. And finally, billionaire Bill Ackman offers the world his “failproof” icebreaker “May I meet you?” Spoiler: you may not.
The Buds kick off the week with a global twist. Nicki Minaj is set to deliver a passionate speech at the United Nations about violence toward Christians internationally, the “prankster” who attacked Ariana Grande at the Wicked premiere faces new charges, and the rest of the episode is filled with the Buds’ signature Monday morning chaos and questionable coffee-fueled banter.
This week, the Buds go full investigative journalist. The crew debates whether drowning is truly the “peaceful” death the government claims it to be and Ben launches a full-scale fact check into whether Kars 4 Kids is secretly funding overseas “youth programs.”
In this episode the Buds breakdown an all new level of competition with the House Cleaning and Window Tinting Olympics being held every year in Las Vegas, a man drunkenly crashed his Delorean full of cocaine bags and Sarajevo has been put on international blast by a bombshell indictment claiming their leaders allowed millionaires from the United States, Italy and more to shoot their citizens in a human safari in the early 90's.
This week, the Buds dive into Hollywood’s most confusing headlines. Jeff Goldblum has gone vegan at 73 — not for health, but because he couldn’t handle seeing how CGI animals were treated on the set of Wicked. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is furious at psychics for predicting she’d pass the bar (spoiler: she still hasn’t), and one of the Island Boys gets placed on a 5150 hold after a bizarre livestream.
The Buds dive deep — and dark — this week. From the art of “dark showers” meant to reset your parasympathetic nervous system, to the over 200 bodies discovered in Houston’s bayous, and finally to Oreo’s increasingly unhinged lineup of Thanksgiving flavors, this episode swings between zen wellness and total cultural decay.
This week, the Buds pour one out — literally. Diddy gets in trouble for brewing his own prison wine out of Fanta and apples, the Girthmaster reassures NFL alum Matt Kalil that his legendary endowment needs no defense, and the gang takes a deep, scientific dive into the real causes of erectile dysfunction.
It’s one of those episodes where reality sounds like bad fan fiction. A porn star who murdered her husband to marry her stepson refuses a plea deal and now faces trial, body parts keep washing ashore in California’s Palos Verdes Estates, and Antonio Brown is extradited from Dubai to face attempted murder charges.
It’s another week in the uncanny valley of real life. The Buds break down the wild story of a woman sentenced for killing a Hollywood actress after a series of illegal butt injections, the fourth Disney park death in just three weeks, and a former American Idol contestant arrested for child predation.
It’s the end of an era, and possibly humanity. The escaped Mississippi monkey saga reaches its brutal finale as the last herpes-positive, COVID-carrying primate is shot dead by a mother of five, Britney Spears deletes her Instagram (again), and an elephant in India kills a local, then returns to her funeral to finish the job.
The Buds unpack another bizarre week of headlines. A bodega cat known as the “Mayor of 16th Street” is tragically killed by a self-driving Waymo car in San Francisco, a SoundCloud rapper gets arrested after sacrificing his kitten for a “music video stunt,” and new developments emerge in the D4VD case that make the mystery even murkier.
Science is spiraling, and so are we. New research suggests deja vu might actually mean we’re stuck in a time loop, 90s doctors claim sleeping with a nightlight could be worse for your heart than cigarettes and booze, and Allison Mack — yes, the NXIVM sex cult lieutenant — is launching a podcast about her time in human trafficking.
The Buds are back with an episode that swings from high drama to pure chaos. The Virginia ring-camera “killer threat” mystery turns out to be a family prank gone viral, the French jewel bandits behind a multimillion-euro heist may have finally been caught in Paris, and an ape carrying herpes, COVID, and hepatitis C is on the loose in Mississippi.
This episode gets chaotic fast. A woman is shot by a man who thought her horse was “too fat,” a Walmart shopper discovers two syringes taped to a bathroom toilet while he used it, and we talk about how Hollywood AI is coming for both human and animal roles alike!
The Buds return with moral debates, Florida delusions, and new vocabulary. A Maine man gets arrested after keeping $7,400 in found cash, Kyle changes his tune and sides against the grandma who scolded him, Jerii learns the true meaning of a “hamwallet,” and a Florida woman insists her husband is Eminem and that Slim Shady will personally cover her $30 breakfast bill.
This week, the Buds dive into the disturbing and the downright absurd. The results are in from the investigation into who killed disgraced Lostprophets singer and convicted pedophile Ian Watkins in prison, a Washington D.C. woman sues her neighbor for smoking so much weed it seeped through her walls, and a TikTok influencer is exposed for faking her entire pregnancy—complete with a reborn doll she tried to pass off as her real baby.
This week, the Buds dive into global madness — starting with a child cannibal in Egypt who says he was just acting out video games and movies, then racing through the Louvre heist that stripped priceless jewels in under four minutes, and finally unpacking Ashton Kutcher’s public coping over Hollywood ghosting him. To top it off, Ben and Kyle introduce Jerii to the world-changing delicacy known as the marshmallow fluffanutter.

It’s been 77 years and Israel is still committing war crimes, including the bombing of civilian neighborhoods, the use of torture in detention centers, the forced displacement of Palestinian families, and documented cases of sexual violence and rape against Palestinian children as part of a broader campaign of oppression.
