1081 - Bucket Bunnies feat. Pendejo Time (10/20/26)

guy on coke makes analogies/metaphors he finds tickling for an hour as three other people try to get a joke in. riveting stuff

I saw cans of Yellowstone chili at Safeway the other day

Can you guys just permanently merge CTH and Pendejo Time into one podcast?

Why the fuck am I listening to these vile fucking people? Is it SO ironic that you're proud of what objectively jaded pricks you are? It's almost a tragedy that people so personally dislikable happen to share my politics.

The song is called the Witchita Lineman. Its a classic done by Campbell as well as The Meters

Can someone help me out here? Why do the wives of blue collar men tolerate their husband's constantly cheating on them? Do they see it as something that's inevitable, like their husband's are just running on pure, animal instinct? lol

"we love our mayors in Texas because we instinctively bow before the boot I MEAN WE uhhhhh like our mayors"

The people I know who are still Harry Potter fans are basically libs that became more right wing which also means it probably is becoming a “wear Cookie Monster pajama pants to school” class signifier as well

I'm obsessed with Will's theory that the rappelling demo guy was actually the Pentagon's way of hiding Iran War casualties.

Never look in a plastic bag that comes down from a tower on a rope. I worked with a guy who went for a rural and accidentally shat in the hood of his survival suit.

My uncle was a lineman, he was conservative but a very cool chill guy. He dated my mom before my aunt who he married, which always struck me as weird, but I don’t think he ever messed around on my aunt. He lost a lung in a work accident in the 90s.

Thank you Thomas for sharing your beautiful cheating wife fantasy

Come to the Tempe Alamo draft house 😂😭

it's always fun to hear the coastal elites' takes on working class life, thank you boys

Man, either have deja vu or they talked about these terms in an older ep...

Lol I was a heli-rappeller for the US Forest Service and lemme tell you, you gotta be real dumb to splatter yourself. There's literally a deadman function on the descender so that if you let go it immediately stops you.

Oil rig Jody is real! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/07/handyman-west-texas-escort-podcast

Damn boys, didn't have a prepared statement ready to go for the Zohran criticism? Just brushed that one under the rug real quick. Anytime Felix drops an "I meeeeaAn..." you know he's getting uncomfortable and trying to avoid a topic.

Corn Man Land Zone Burger Time

Will's conspiracy theory that the airman was a frozen Iran war casualty is so funny 💀

This gave me an idea for a screenplay/romance novel. Call it Between Storms. A free wheeling Patrick Swayze type line man is doing the best damn line work in Greater Galveston. He is untamed and uncontrollable but he gets the job done. No one woman can claim his heart...or can she? It culminates with a climactic scene in a cat 5 hurricane where he has repair a transformer for the local laser tag arena for Make a Wish kids(one of which is the kid brother of the witty love interest who is a doctor to linemen).

Will fantasizing about being Gene Hackman in Mississippi Burning.

I need me some Corn Man Land Zone Burger Time

The jokes about whiny Nazis: I do like how this show pumps me up by reminding me these are the weakest guys alive. Like remember the episode about how we shouldn’t be afraid of police because they’re basically so used to a cushy life they couldn’t handle any real tough stuff? That was a good one. Like a really important thing to remember: a lot of the German ww2 Nazis fought in ww1 in the fry core. Over half a million on each of the German and French sides at the battle of verdun. Meanwhile these guys big problem is like… they can’t get a decent job and move out of their parent’s house.

kinda wish they mentioned the absolutely ridiculous north korea storyline of that call of duty game

Colin Hay’s Wichita Lineman is peak

The cottage industry of loser crybabies complaining about crime in Austin can inmediately be defeated by looking at absolute numbers instead of % increases. Turns out if the absolute number is already very low, it's not hard to increase by a huge percent!

Love the pendejo time boys. theyre freakin' hilarious mannn

shout out to FYM Michael for his spearheading investigation into the #linewife phenomenon. invaluable work. a further narrative look into the world of the men and men-adjacent-women #atstorm can be found in the 2015 film 'Life on the Line', starring several of america's great actors

45 yo sensitive young men holy shittt🪦

Ok this is cool but what if if you guys did another Fetterman episode? The two part coverage of FetterGOAT’s memoir was elite S-tier Chapo

"there's not a lotta girl dick on the oil rig" is really gonna stick with me

Buckle Bunny is a beer imho

The Yellowstone thing goes beyond just food. Literally anything, food, decorations, clothing, etc. It's fake cowboy escapism that you can buy

I look like fat adam driver

Top 5 episode

trader Joe's frozen dinners are America A landman dinners

"I think you are being needlessly charitable" is the most British shit talking I have ever heard. Using that

I don't know what they're talking about. I fucking hate our mayor. If I was in front of Hitler, Mussolini, and John Whitemire, and I had two copies of Minecraft...

Got a recruitment email for a linemen training program today. Must be a sign

BTW, JD had another kid in July this year. His name is Alec-Neel.

Jake and Thomas are non-French Jacques

In SoCal carpenters they call bucket bunnies Sanchas and the Jodie’s at home with your wife is Sancho.

The entire time I was listening to this episode all I could think about was that terrible 2015 movie starring john travolta "Life on the Line"

I’m sorry but I can’t stand these eps. Jake never stops talking. He exists purely to set up Thomas’s jokes.

prison wives are my favorite subgenre of these women

Getting relationship time from chapo and pendejo time rocks

Love when they let thirsty fans guest

Surprised Felix didn’t mention Salt Wives and Rock Wives.

I can’t come into work today. My friend’s relationship of 36 months ended

They killed The Giggler man!

BYE HONEY ILL BE SWEEPING

Always love when Jake and Felix talk about dating the most frustrating girl on the planet in your 20s

Jake dropping a lot of truth nukes in this one

Jake’s laugh and Thomas’s gender fluidity is so healing

We need more girl dick on the oil rig

A remake of What Women Want starring Felix as Felix.

Every time pendejo time is on i know im in for a real treat, they're the only chapo guests who actually got me to start listening to their podcast, keep bringing them on

Thomas is the greatest

JD Vance’s next son is going to be named Mr. Tumnus

This is hilarious because I was in rehab earlier this year. I shit you not half of the 50 people in my cohort - lineman. A group of them for the same company. All of them were insane and 100% match the description. One of them got arrested with a pint of ghb. He didn’t know what it was but bought it and went for a ride. Obviously blacked out and crashed into a pole. Poetic. Beautiful.

Chicago ALREADY sold out :(

Glenn Campbell rules

You guys should have DJ Byrnes back on, there is a shit ton to talk about in OH politics even setting aside the Shrek incident.

Having experience both, losing your job is way more traumatic than a breakup At least a breakup won't potentially make you homeless

I am a line wife for the county And my husband is on the road When he’s gone he nuts in a cup so I can catch his load

45 gang checking in. Good episode fellas

It is pretty amazing how the Internet has been allowing Women to disclose their survival strategies to one another; especially women trying to escape poverty - gender caste creates strange social dynamics in Amerikkka ... it is also pretty amazing how you guys loose the plot on anything not directly related to your middle class cis het white experiences and sound like total assholes making fun of women in poverty 🙄 but like yeah do TikTokBoots and military wives next: lmao at all of the women in poverty marrying young enlisted men who are getting shipped off to be tortured by their own bosses and then slaughtered or sent home sick AF to then beat those wives 🖖👍🖖👍

I'm trynna be the first male bucket bunny

Hi I’m here to be your Jody. What are your thoughts on Terrence Malick?

I have a theory that those “masculine boot camps” are for “sensitive young men” who are willing to do anything to prove they’re courageous enough to talk to a girl other than actually talk to a girl

I think TwerkDancer and ItsRin should fight

As a utility worker, who is not a lineman, i work in substation. Lineman are a certain type for sure, they have their own rodeo where Bucket Bunnies and Buckle Bunnies collide https://www.linemansrodeokc.com/2026

The discussion about tragedy at just before the hour mark was genuinely excellent. Refreshing to hear that kind of simple moral clarity.

I dont know if this is offensive but I always get Pendejo Time confused with the Trillbillies when they're on. 😬

Thomas thinks like a Bene Gesserite

An absolute riff city masterclass

one thing the boys didn't talk about is how the linemen run in packs between Texas and Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf states. I would see like 15 of them at a time in a big convoy on I-10 after a big storm. and they're usually out there trading power for pussy when most people are still sheltering in place.

Also, date the goth girl. do it.

Got to the season 5 dream sequence episode of the Sopranos. Amazing.

I swear to god felix is a jump scare every time he chimes in for the first time out of nowhere

“Got a wife in Denton, babe, and one in Abilene The first one says she’s got my child, but it don’t look like me”

15 y.o boy break up to school shooter pipeline Maybe the incel thing actually reduced mass shootings lmao

Man that one guy is the funniest but that other guy is tough. 'people love when sheriff's beat their kids' what are you talking about man

You gotta love Thomas’ efficiency

The Line Wives cheat on their husband with the guy who used to sell her pills.

Lmao Chicago Chunks showing in the smallest theater and already sold out

Thomas dropping bombs

Thomas doesn't say much but when he does everyone loses it. Bless him.

They just talked about Yellowstone frozen dinners on Guys last week (Frozen Food Guys). I love the concept of adult children who grew up eating Pac-Man chicken nuggets and now are 55 years old still only eating food if it has their favorite TV character's face on the box.

And the Wichita linemaaaaan IS STILL ON THE LIIIIINE

Nice to meet my names Jonathan Penis Esquire

I fucking love the pendejo time crossover episodes

Shout out Jodie, I can't believe how long it's been.

I always wanted a Sopranos spinoff about Melfi’s therapist

Really enjoy the image of stav as charon, weighing down the boat across the river styx so that the side with the passenger on it isnt even touching the water

42:50 I didn't know where Thomas was going with this and I gotta admit he brought it home. Incredible.

I'm so deep in the PNW bubble I assumed the famous song about being a lineman Will was bringing up would be Engine Driver by The Decemberists

Michael Oher mentioned

Banger lmaoo also I’m NOT gay

As a landscape gardener, wealthy divorced / retired / unfulfilled women have been very kind to me. The married working class ladies I work for would never fuck me, esp not at work but the rich ones have no bones about any of it

Oh god. The blind side lore. The Tuohy family made a shit ton of cash off the movie and also owned all the Taco Bell stores all over Memphis at the time. The daughter married one of the Fed Ex guy's grandsons and they are still about as wealthy as they come in this town. Leigh Anne has stepped in it a few times by approaching random groups of black teenagers and inserting herself as a white savior.

Quite intrigued by this ethnographic research lol

“We can’t even go out after 10 pm in the cities we built.” Seriously where’s Barack Obama when you need him! Also what those guys leave out is they can’t go out because of their ankle monitor.

Texan here. My cousin is a Harry Potter girl who is married to a lineman

There are bold linemen and there are old linemen, but there are no old bold linemen.

Cameron winter live at carnegie hall frozen pea protein, seems bland but it's sure filling once you digest it

Linemen have dangerous and vital jobs and they are better than the troops.

Jake brother, take a breath/let the hosts speak

It’d be so cool to be a male bucket bunny for traveling nurses.

I knew Will would be down with The Wichita Lineman. Probably one among a legion of reasons that I, too, could never get with a Line Wife

Alamo shit kinda wack

Pendejo boys are always solid guests.

Crock Pots meals are straight up Orcish cuisine.. Its modern day cauldron slop

Saddest sentence in English language- “Not a lot of girl dick on the oil rig”

Unrelated but im really hoping when Players Club covers Kane & Lynch, Felix will keep the repressed homoerotic reading of their relationship in the back of his mind on replay. Sometimes I feel like im the only one who has been considering this and it would mean a lot if Felix would consider it and give it a platform if he sees it too. If it doesn’t work to him then that’s totally okay im just asking him to keep it in mind because I think it could change everything

I knew there was gonna be a Wichita Lineman needle drop from the beginning of the episode ooooh thats good stuff

These chapo bedejo eps are always the funniest god damn eps in the pantheon of chapo, dude who does fym right up there too

after Wife Guys, it was about time someone invented Husband Girls

These “bucket bunnies” sound awful! Ugh! Can someone please point them out to me so I know who to avoid?!?

any episode with jake and thomas gets bumped to the top of my priorities

Does Thomas do any spaghetti themed raps?

We used to call Tech Sgts, “testicle sergeants” when I was on active duty

oh great, I’m glad I chose today to wear my I’M A LINEMAN, I WAKE UP WITH A DICK HARDER THAN YOUR JOB t-shirt

As a landman, I feel I must denounce all landman-branded culinary treats that aren't 7 beers alone in a hotel room.

Therapy bunny is just any girl with bangs

I fucking love this i work with linemen & Utility tree worker men and have been needing this world discussed its too funny

A-ray-bic

Oh thank god, the real bonus episode.

I think Vice would be a much better film if it was split up into two parts. The second part is his whole political career, and the first part is just him dealing with his line wife and the various bucket bunnies he encountered while working as a lineman in Wyoming

Swish!!! @8:53

13:50 hyper critical Felix shooting down Will’s dreams again.

I was hungry and I ate my 10 year old The Town Boston Market Rotisserie Chicken and started puking up Blood

Felix calling mr beast feastables “foodlies” is killing me

Pendejo Time to wash this Amber A'lee Frost out my mouth!

C’mon Chris, I know you’ve got a Wichita Lineman drop in there for us somewhere

Love the pandejo time guys, but I was trying to have an opinion on the shit in France this week. Guess I’m not doing that

I swear they did an ep on line wives / bucket bunny tiktok maybe a couple years back.

Felix begins speaking at 4 minutes and 1 second

This is Michael Hudson erasure. He broke this story!

I cut a hole in my Carhartt coveralls for bunny feedings

Everyday I am forced to learn new things about America

Pendejo time eps are always so good

Watching The Knicks you asssholes! Come back later!

Real FYM heads are well acquainted with the noble line wives and wicked bucket bunnies

First, I'm gay

We eatin goooood tonight hogs
