Episode 101: Peachy Peachy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Bucket Boys are back to argue about cold weather, terrible handshakes, whether words stop sounding real if you say them too many times, and the importance of actually pronouncing people's names correctly. Then the bucket takes us through Sonic vs. Mario, the cinematic potential of Mortal Kombat, Caitlyn vs. Bruce, the best government agency, virgin brides, terrible car designs, and Zak officially committing to doing stand up at the Bucket Boys Live show.

Episode 100: No Hot Dogs?! w/ Chris Alan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For episode 100, Chris Alan joins us to talk about The Rider, growing up in Rochester, spending 20 years in the military, family, getting older, and realizing how much of what you believed growing up eventually has to be unlearned. Naturally, that turns into old school gaming, GTA, robot uprisings, green carpet, tattoos, Tarantino movies, James Gandolfini, Keanu Reeves, and a whole lot of shit talking in between.

Episode 99: D***head of the Week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week turns into a full breakdown of terrible drivers, road rage, SAE vs. metric tools, Bigfoot, spray painted cars, dream 90s builds, hot dog rankings, and the growing realization that getting older means occasionally losing the battle with your own pants. Somewhere in there, we also announce the Bucket Boys live show and continue trying to bully Zak into doing stand up.

Episode 98: Love Languages (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gunnar and Zak figure out their love languages, call Gunnar’s wife in the middle of the show to fact check the relationship, and somehow end up debating parenting, psychics, fake accents, court jesters, Boy Scouts, prison reform, and whether the president is really just America’s designated “vibes guy.” Plus, Miss Cleo, terrible fortune tellers, funerals for people nobody liked, and the realization that being a medieval comedian may have been the worst gig imaginable.

Episode 97: Warranties w/ Mike Oddo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mike Oddo joins the Bucket Boys this week for a chaotic episode that somehow covers baseball road trips, Philly stories, Pokémon nostalgia, passive aggressive coworkers, kitchen disasters, sketchy warranties, and why modern cars seem determined to break the moment the warranty expires. Along the way the guys debate minor league baseball names, cooking tips, bizarre viral videos, and whether buying an old car might actually be the smarter move.
