The Bucket Boys Podcast

Episode 64: Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve and we’re faking the holiday spirit just enough to get through the night. We debate Santa running late, Mrs. Claus’ first name, naughty vs. nice lists, flight logs, Real ID paranoia, and whether anyone should ever be on any list. We do a full in-studio gift exchange, accidentally nail the perfect presents, and unpack why Christmas hits different as an adult. From White Elephant strategy and terrible gift-opening etiquette to Wawa supremacy, two-cup fountain drink science, holiday food debates, family traditions, in-law chaos, and proposing on Christmas Eve, this one is equal parts wholesome, unhinged, and aggressively festive.
 
Holiday chaos, real laughs, and zero cheer requirements. Classic Bucket Boys Christmas Eve.

Episode 63: Hangovers w/ Isaac Ignacio Bennett

This week we’re joined once again by Isaac as we spiral through hangover cures, friendship betrayals, and why dancing in the kitchen at 4 a.m. might actually be a spiritual experience. We try Japan’s minus-1.96 seltzers, roast bad bar chains, debate mashed versus baked potatoes, and argue about what truly defines a dive bar. Isaac walks us through Skankfest chaos, Ferris-wheel propositions, hotel-room interviews gone wrong, and being accidentally identified as “that gay guy who gives fashion advice.” We also get into anime kids, gym-class trauma, terrible tapes, comic jealousy, body-image delusion, and whether jackets swaps should count as foreplay.
Unfiltered stories, fast chaos, and three men solving nothing. Classic Episode 63.

Episode 62: Sandwiches

This week we go deep on leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches—what belongs, what ruins everything, and why cranberry sauce continues to divide the nation. From deviled-egg engineering to brioche-bun diplomacy, we take holiday food way too seriously before spiraling into New York trip stories, comedy cellar anxiety, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and the logistics of splitting an $5,800 Village apartment eight ways. We hit late-night pizza culture, seedless fruit supremacy, cartoon moms with absurd cake, animated-show rankings, Vine nostalgia, and which comedian wins in a Norm vs. Farley showdown.
 
Unfiltered chaos, very strong food opinions, and absolutely no qualifications. Classic Episode 62.

Episode 61: Mayhem

This week we break down Black Friday madness, zero-turn mower panic, and why Thanksgiving is really just an excuse to escape your family. We swap NYC parade horror stories, introduce Sticky Ricky the possibly-cursed studio doll, check in with Tampa Keith, roast bad football, argue about sparkling water, debate fake Tourette’s, and judge terrible parking jobs like Olympic officials.
 
Unhinged topics, fast laughs, zero expertise. Classic Episode 61.

Episode 60: Thanksgiving Eve!

This week’s episode is a full sampler platter of unhinged opinions and oddly specific life lessons as we kick things off by defending the honor of light beer because sometimes you just want something cold without getting lectured by a guy in a flannel who homebrews in his garage. From there, we reveal a groundbreaking conflict resolution technique: take everyone to Wawa, because nothing ends a fight faster than a hoagie and a fountain drink the size of a toddler. We also crown the worst car ever made, discuss why one of us is officially “boycotting Christmas,” celebrate the triumph of finally identifying a mystery song that haunted us for days, and get way too nostalgic about the golden era of CDs, binders, and desktop towers overflowing with albums.

Episode 59: Nerd Alert w/ John Rademacher

This week we’re joined by John Rademacher as we wander through the dorkiest corners of the universe. We also break down the science of Canadians, rewrite a few chapters of history, debate dogs vs. cats like it’s a presidential election, and try to figure out what exactly Washington, DC is besides traffic and monuments. Unhinged opinions, unnecessary confidence, and plenty of Rademacher chaos. Peak Bucket Boys.

Episode 58: Choices

This week we spiral through passive-aggressive emails, why an AI wife would still be disappointed in us, Denver’s alien-guarded food court, the universal hatred of catheters, realizing Golden Grahams taste like… graham crackers (duh), and a very illegal idea for finding the “perfect baby.”
 
Dumb ideas, real laughs, zero qualifications. Classic Bucket Boys.

Episode 57: We Need AI

This week we hit everything from the original football teams to modern rivalries, the weird process of voting, and whether AI is here to help us… or bench us. History lessons, civic confusion, and robot intelligence, all delivered by two dudes with microphones and zero qualifications.

Episode 56: Spooky Hangover

Halloween might be over, but the chaos isn’t. From people who celebrate spooky season year-round to Gunnar’s mountain-carved pumpkins and the rise of giant skeleton fatigue, this episode digs into the weirdest parts of the holiday we can’t escape. We also tackle genie loopholes, candy rituals, and the deep philosophy of shaking a box of Nerds before eating it.
It’s another beautifully unfiltered episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast — packed with fall laughs, questionable logic, and the kind of relatable nonsense that’ll get you through the post-Halloween slump.

Episode 55: Momentum

We’re rolling full speed into the chaos. From new skateboards and slow-motion falls to online trolls and golf meltdowns. Gunnar shows off his creative side, Zak refuses to answer the hotline, and somehow it all spirals into debates about pride, pain, and pure stupidity.
 
It’s another beautifully unfiltered episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast, packed with laughs, wild stories, and the kind of moments you’ll be quoting all week.
