The Buds close out the year with one of their heaviest episodes yet. They unpack a devastating family tragedy involving Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, killed by their son, as details continue to shock. The story of Peter Greene grows darker as new information emerges, and the episode ends not with jokes, but with a plea.As we head into the holidays, the message is simple: take care of each other, step away when you need to, and for the love of all that’s holy — stay safe.
In the second-to-last episode of the year, the Buds revisit updates on past stories, break down the troubling footage of Andy Dick overdosing on a Hollywood sidewalk, and close with a heartfelt pre-holiday PSA: please, for the love of Santa, don’t kill your family this season.
This episode dives into the worst corners of online behavior and real-world fallout.

And finally, a tragic story: a 15-year-old dies by suicide after being sextorted, shining a brutal light on a growing digital threat.
This week, West Hollywood enters its villain era as a boutique crowns Katy Perry, George Clooney, and Meghan Markle the official “Villains of the Year.” Meanwhile, a cruise ship is being sued after serving a man 33 drinks before the boat even left the dock, and despite our best efforts to honor No Murder Monday, the Buds still manage to dip a toe into murder territory.
This week, the Buds dive into the shocking science of peer-reviewed women’s flatulence and learn that it may out-stink men’s by a landslide. Then they check in on the New Hampshire woman who’s finally headed to jail after publicly peeing on everything in sight, and wrap with Martha Stewart revealing her post-death plans: to be composted, just like her horses.

It’s a rare No Murder Monday, but that doesn’t mean the Buds aren’t diving into strange mysteries. They revisit the anniversary of the “not-so murder” of Natalie Wood, one of Hollywood’s most infamous cases that somehow remains dramatic without technically being a homicide. Then, the Buds celebrate the life-changing magic of “fart walks,” the revolutionary wellness practice nobody asked for. And finally, science confirms that a celestial object with an alleged heartbeat has been discovered. The universe may be more alive than we ever thought.

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.

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.

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.

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.
