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.

The Buds hit 150 with a wild mix of mystery, mischief, and moral gray areas. A private investigator claims he has video of the man who parked the car where Celeste Rivas’ body was found, a dog named Don Lewis tricked his owners into thinking he was blind, and Ben crowns and immediately revokes his Bud of the Week.

This week, the Buds break down the wild world of Slut Con, where men and women are taught how to “unlock their inner seducer.” Then it’s off to the UK, where Elijah the Bengal cat has terrorized a neighborhood so badly the police had to intervene, and finally, we say goodbye to the world’s foremost Bigfoot expert, who passed away from brain cancer.

Today, the Buds cover the death of rock legend Ace Frehley, Kevin Federline’s baffling decision to write a memoir, and the unlikely heroism of a Dairy Queen Blizzard that helped de-escalate a tense police standoff.

Jerii’s back just in time for Murder Monday on a Wednesday, and things get dark fast. We cover the woman who died by suicide on the Disney monorail, another who was crushed to death at a Post Malone concert, and a Brooklyn woman fatally struck by a falling solar panel. To top it off, we close with a drive-by cheeseburger attack outside a strip club.

Today, Jerii leaves the Buds for NYC until Tuesday, but not before we spiral into chaos: a man’s scrotum is slashed by his girlfriend who’s now on the run, and a drunk sheriff gets fired after his third DUI on record (and probably not his last). It’s goodbyes, groin injuries, and gross negligence — just another day on OK Bud.

Today’s episode covers everything from toxic homes to stolen booze. A mother refuses to accept home builders’ mold denials after her family falls ill and the family pet dies, the “firebug” behind the Pacific Palisades blaze is arrested in Florida; d4vd is declared “not a suspect” in Celeste Rivas’ death, but the lack of a determined manner of death suggests some serious police wordplay. And finally, Guy Fieri gets robbed of over $1 million in liquor bottles. Mold, mayhem, and a million-dollar heist… welcome to Flavor Town, crime edition.

Today’s episode goes from gruesome to grim: a Staten Island man beheads his mother’s boyfriend for telling him to “take a walk”, two prison guards are in hot water for letting an inmate burn to death in his cell, and a couple dies of heat stroke after a cocaine-fueled bathtub “celebration” for their child’s 4th birthday. It’s a chaotic cocktail of violence, neglect, and very bad decisions.

The Buds dive into a chaotic mix of story updates, the wild arrest of Mark Sanchez after a knife fight with a 70-year-old man, and the truly otherworldly investigation into whether UFOlogist Nigel Larson is the same man Jerii dated in college. Stranger things have happened!

Today, the Buds break down the chaos after d4vd’s bodyguard seemingly joked about being involved in Celeste Rivas’ murder during a livestream, Diddy gets sentenced to 4 years in prison and channels Denzel from Flight energy instead of Training Day, and science drops a bombshell: human intelligence peaks at age 60.

This week, America crowned its true champions: Chunk the bear and Bug the gloriously overweight ginger cat. Meanwhile, Taco Bell wants nothing to do with a 31-mile “Taco Bell Marathon” that forces runners to eat chalupas mid-stride, and Harvard is now teaching a class on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

This episode has everything: a mysterious man beheading seals along the California coast, a former clown who murdered his wife and then himself during his own sentencing, and a massive Hollywood breakup shaking the tabloids to their core. It’s murder, mystery, and celebrity misery — just another day with the Buds.

The Buds sink their teeth into this week’s strangest stories: the virtual best bear competition sweeping the internet, the discovery of a skeleton under the porch of America’s most haunted house, and the truly haunting spectacle of Caitlyn Jenner singing TikTok on national television. Bears, bones, and ballads — this episode’s got something for everyone (and nightmares for the rest).

This week, the Buds take on the disturbing whispers of a possible Houston serial killer that local authorities keep brushing off, a stunt-eating man who braved the world’s smelliest food for views, and a handful of updates on stories we can’t seem to escape. From denial in Texas to noses that will never recover, this episode reeks of chaos.
