Episode 163: I Like My CGI Plant-Based 11.11.2025 40:12
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.

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.

Episode 160: Mommy’s Step-Sins 07.11.2025 46:07
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.
Episode 159: Fall in the House of Mouse 06.11.2025 42:41
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 .
Episode 158: The Day the Monkey Died 03.11.2025 44:24
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.
Episode 157: The Algorithm Killed My Cat 31.10.2025 34:48

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.
Episode 156: We've Been Here Before... 30.10.2025 48:11

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’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 .
