"Bud" is short for the word buddy, which is an informal way to say friend. However, make sure to pay attention to the sentence because there is more than one meaning for bud. Another meaning of "bud" is a compact growth on a plant that develops into a leaf, flower, or shoot. In this video however, it does mean friend :) Ex: You are my best bud! Ex: Hey bud! How are ya? Ex: What are you up to bud?
