from OK Bud! · host Ben Kissel and Jerii Aquino

Send us a textThe specter of a serial killer looms over New England as eight bodies have been discovered across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island in just two months. Despite police departments denying any connection between these cases, concerned citizens have formed online groups to track these disturbing patterns themselves. Ben, Jerry, and Kyle examine why authorities might downplay these connections and what evidence suggests something more sinister could be happening across the region.Death touches this episode in multiple ways, from the update on two children tragically poisoned by Easter chocolates in Brazil to Pope Francis's funeral arrangements, which sparked controversy when Cardinal Roger Mahoney was selected to seal the Pope's casket. The Cardinal's history of covering up clerical child abuse raises serious questions about accountability within the Catholic Church, even in death.The hosts also deliver a critical update in the Karen Reid murder case, where a key witness has now recanted testimony that was central to the prosecution's argument. This shocking development could potentially exonerate Reid, who has maintained her innocence in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe.From Billy McFarland selling the Fyre Festival brand after announcing his departure from the venture, to an Australian woman's viral experience with being charged extra for a Brazilian wax due to her "size," the episode weaves through serious crime updates and oddball social media controversies with the show's signature blend of insight and humor.Whether you're fascinated by true crime, religious hypocrisy, or the strange corners of personal services pricing, this episode delivers thought-provoking content that will leave you questioning official narratives and eagerly awaiting the next update on these developing stories.
