What's up with made/bade? I pronounce those the same way.

Bade is the past tense of "bid" and is technically pronounced the same as "bad". Link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/bade

Essentially, the pronunciation follows the same pattern as words like "sit - sat", but the spelling pattern follows a different Old English pattern.
