The Martini Boys Podcast

Who the hell is Dave Blunts, and why can't he put down the cup? The American rapper, singer, and internet personality gained popularity after going viral for performing while using an oxygen tank. A Maine Coon cat named Mittens becomes quite the plane traveler. Only being able to choose one, the boys take on types of food, including breakfast. Are you a nut-lover? Nuts.com has crazy amounts of assortments of nuts, sweets, chocolates, pretzels (and more) we plan on checking out over the next few weeks.

And just like that, 2024 comes to a close as we welcome the new year. The podcast has reached over 1,000 subs! We'd like to thank each and every one of you who has stuck with us from day 1, and to those who are new to the channel. From new year resolutions, going hard at the gym, and what we're looking forward to this year... tune in as The Martini Boys take on 2025!

Wishing you all a very Merry, Martini Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅🏼 The classic movie Home Alone was voted the best Christmas movie in 2024, and for good reason! There are also many films that aren’t specifically about Christmas but feature Christmas scenes, which many still consider holiday movies. The boys play a "Smash or Pass: Food Edition" game. During this season of parties and gatherings, Alex shares a story from a work Christmas party, along with other funny experiences people have posted online.

Christmas is coming FAST... hopefully you all have finished your shopping to avoid the mad rush. We're talking all about the best and worst gifts in 2024, nostalgic gifts from the early 2000s, and everything else from childhood traditions, food, and what we wanted as a child compared to now. Alex's obsession with Go-Ped gas scooters and Easy Bake Oven. The boys both got Gary Fisher mountain bikes growing up, rather than the typical BMX bike with pegs. A deadly end to the CEO of UnitedHealthcare during the holiday season.

Tom DeLonge of blink-182 said it best... Aliens Exist! During a hearing held by a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee in Washington, DC, a group of experts were questioned if they had any knowledge that the Department of Defense was involved with any “secretive” projects involving the “manipulation of human genetics” with “non-human genetic material.” Matt finally got to see Salem Sasquatch hit the ice and brought back a souvenir. Everyone has been talking about the Paul vs Tyson match... were our predictions true?

What the #!$@ is wrong with people?! It's no surprise that the internet is a wild place... and we're here to share some more crazy stories found deep within the World Wide Web. "Occupy Mars" is Elon Musk and SpaceX's project name for the colonization program in efforts to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Weather in New England is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get. The new semi-pro hockey team Salem Sasquatch has hit the ice and already are making a name for themselves. A woman truly believes that COVID has changed our DNA and we have the ability to mate with dogs. Quora seems to be making a comeback and some of the questions we talk about are absolutely hysterical.

Happy Halloween, baby! We're back and will be hanging out in Matt's neck of the woods to hand out candy, have a bonfire and clinkin' drinks with the parents. The neighborhood has a bunch of decorations up and the freaks will be walking the streets. Halloween means costumes, and we dig into the most popular and purchased costume in 2024, including our favorite costumes of choice growing up. Aside from costumes, we can't forget some creepy stories we've found online to share some of the scariest places in the world.

🎃 Welcome to Episode 48 of The Martini Boys Podcast! 🍂 This week, we’re diving headfirst into Spooky Season with a fun mix of topics perfect for October. Join us as we sip on a delicious Pumpkin Spiced Martini 🍸, chat about the official return of hockey 🏒, and debate the best (and worst) Halloween candies 🍬. Plus, it wouldn’t be October without a little fear factor—hear us talk about our biggest fears, conspiracy theories, and why October is truly the scariest month! 👻

2024 has certainly been a wedding-packed year. We just got back from another fun wedding up in New Hampshire with gorgeous views and the start of foliage. There is a saying that goes "You never remember the good weddings, but you never forget the bad ones." We share some disastrous wedding stories experienced by others that did NOT go as planned. 50,000 union members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) were on strike, putting a halt on all ports from Maine to Texas. As the colder weather approaches, the more escaping to the Caribbean sounds like a great idea. With the Instant Messenger trend going around social media, we reminisce about hilarious screen names, buddy lists and more.

The Martini Boys Podcast turns 1 year old! With fall in full effect, you know what that means... it's state fair season. We talk about our go-to fair foods, and what has been ranked worst to best throughout the country. Aside from fair foods, you can't forget about all of the rides growing up. From the Zipper, the Pirate Ship, and the Gravitron... all the way to the classic Ferris Wheel. How safe were they? Not safe at all. We jump onto the nostalgic train as we discuss early days of YouTube, the first uploaded music video, and of course - viral video classics.

YEEHAW!! The boys are back and with special guest from Texas. Rane, one of Matt's good friends, was visiting New England and got him in on an episode. Flying/traveling can be a breeze, while other times it can be a nightmare. Rane shares his awful experience on a popular airline. Back by popular demand, it's not truly The Martini Boys without an espresso martini. How Texan are you? Alex brings a knowledge test to the table. The history of Texas, the Alamo, King Ranch and good ol' Davey Crocket. Taxes, day trading and what's weird about New Hampshire. THE BRITISH ARE COMING!! Paul Revere, an American silversmith, military officer and industrialist who played a major role during the opening months of the American Revolutionary War in Massachusetts, engaging in a midnight ride in 1775 to alert nearby minutemen of the approach of British troops prior to the battles of Lexington and Concord.

As time marches on, it seems that our language evolves with each generation. Will the slang nonsense continue to get worse? Alex is on a roll with discovering company slogans that are simply too good not to share. Most people have experienced quitting a job before... but did you leave with a bang? The boys read anonymous submissions about hilarious ways people have left their jobs. Have you ever been up late and watch a video that has you laughing for hours? Alex certainly found one and is now stuck in Matt's head. Could it be? The return of NPCs? Matt shares his most recent encounter, and other weird happenings.

Brining back a classic that started it all... espresso martinis. Made up of vodka and coffee liquor, we dive into the recipe, who invented the cocktail, where it's from and its origin. Our bodies all experience involuntary actions/reactions throughout the day. On this episode, we talk about sneezing, and whether or not we sneeze on a daily basis. Does something such as "ACHOO" turn people on? Well, apparently sneezing is a fetish. During his time in California, Matt talks about the 'Beautiful People Theory'... the physical attractiveness stereotype that may have evolved as a result of natural selection. Attractive individuals may have a greater chance of mating and passing on desirable traits and are therefore preferred as mates over others based on their physical attractiveness.

A recent trip to California inspired this episode's choice of drink. One of the most popular tiki drinks out there... the Mai Tai. While wearing their best Hawaiian shirt, the boys talk about the top 10 WORST slogans for ad campaigns used by some of the most popular companies out there. Whoever thought that these were a "great idea" leads to many other concerns. Alex is back with one of Matt's favorite topics... this time being Scottish slang. California is known for a lot of things - such as the notorious wildfires, and the fast food chain In-N-Out Burger claimed to be overrated... or is it?

For the past two weeks, Paris has held the 2024 Olympics and there has been a lot to talk about. The boys get into the countries participating, rankings for medals, and all of the Olympic disciplines involved this year, including brand new ones. An awesome weekend in New Hampshire for a bachelor party, which included river waterslides, cornhole, an explosive hot tub, and a smart TV that may have been hacked by nearby pranksters. Sad news and the end of an era... the Xbox 360 store has officially closed down. To pay their respects, the boys reminisce about owning the console, top 10 ranked best titles, and the infamous red ring of death.

Cheers, mate! In this episode, the boys dive into British-English slang words, phrases and what the heck it all means. Slang often reflects cultural nuances and social contexts, providing a lively and dynamic aspect to everyday conversation... and Matt cannot get enough of it! Ever heard of 'The Lamp Theory'? Tune in to find out what it is and how it might make you question reality. Taking a probiotic with coffee on an empty stomach is NOT a good idea. Alex finds this out the hard way.

Do you know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck? The boys try a flight of 4 classic cocktails, ranking them most to least favorite, all while trying to read tongue twisters. Fresh blood must be in the water because it's Shark Week, baby! There are hundreds of museums that exist in the world, but have you ever been to the Poozeum? Yes... it's a bunch of poop for your viewing pleasure.

There are ways to break bones… and then there are dumb ways. The boys talk about their own experiences, including stories shared by others. Whiskey vs bourbon: a deeper dive into this classic pour of choice. An 86-year-old man is recovering after police said his neighbor showed up at his back door naked and attacked him before the man’s dog jumped in and held the neighbor down. When it comes to Florida, it always seems like something crazy is going on.

MATT IS BACK! The boys talk all about Matt's trip to Alaska - everything from the Alaskan cruise, fishing, wildlife sightings such as bears, moose and orcas... to a helicopter tour experiencing the state's massive glaciers first-hand. If exploring Alaska is on your bucket list, this episode is for you. Cursed by wildfires? That may sound strange, but it seems to becoming a reality. A category 5 hurricane is heading right towards Jamaica, and resorts are preparing their defenses putting safety first, and service second.

While Matt wrestles bears in Alaska, Alex officially welcomes in the summer season. From no school to barbecues, concerts and tailgating at your favorite music festivals. Nothing beats the warmer weather, longer days and of course... ICE CREAM. In this episode, Alex reviews the top 10 best flavors, to some of the worst flavors of ice cream in existence, and you won't believe what is ranked the number one worst. Summer can lead to a lot, such as school vacation, high school graduation, going away to college and college graduation. It also means summer flings and breakups, whether you want to be free during the summer, or leave the past behind and begin the next chapter. Breakups are never fun, but there are many worse than others.

The boys reminisce about their horrible experience with a car rental business when in San Diego. The new generation of kids are not only coming up with new slang, but removing letters from existing words... I guess we're the boomers now. Shredded cheese floods the dairy aisle at your local grocery store covered in that infamous white powder. How bad is it for you, and should you be washing your cheese. Another top 10 (sorta) of best sodas ranked in the United States. A bit of advice: DON'T drink the tap water.

As the weather gets nicer, the boys talk about getting back into a workout routine with the help of Apple Watch and walking pads. Sure, the Vegas strip is known for its hotels, casinos and clubs... but there truly is so much more to do and discover on (and off) the strip. Take a quick drive over to Old Vegas (Fremont Street), or visit Area 15 containing Dueling Axes, and the Omega Mart: a supermarket with various other areas and narrative to uncover. Cirque De Solei, magicians, gourmet restaurants, and speakeasies you gotta put in the work to find. A hidden tunnel with a light show for Tesla vehicles only. The segment about Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers from last week's episode gained a ton of attention... enough to possibly take a road trip there. The infamous Buzzballz make a return for an awful taste test review.

NEVER AGAIN... the boys talk about red eye flights, layovers and all of the extra expenses when booking cheap tickets. Matt is getting closer to his Alaskan cruise which means packing for three different seasons with temperatures anywhere between 35-65 degrees. Most of us know what writing research papers involves and how much time you spend in the library... wait till you hear about some of these extremely bizarre, real topics. If those ads on making six figures by "following these three easy steps" actually worked, everyone would do it. Facebook Marketplace and the infamous "Hi, is this still available?" Alien abductions, have they really happened, and the basic conclusion by medical researchers from Harvard and Temple University is through the production of children.

The boys receive a candy delivery straight from Sweden to review and rank them. BUBS is one of the most popular candy brands in Sweden and has become a TikTok trend. Alex busts out a craft beer called Laser Kitten by Medusa Brewing Company for his love of IPAs and a connoisseur for dank hops. Top 10 favorite chain restaurants that “you’ve probably never knew existed.” Of course, that leads into the top 10 worst chains that have been ranked across the country.

Danny confronts Darnell and things don't go so well. It's official... The Martini Boys have tied the knot (sorry ladies). Weird dreams and conspiracies has led Danny to believe that ET is actually a predator. Alex's least favorite genre of music is country... "I got my beer, I got my truck, drank a bud light and it was the best day of my life." Talks about some of the biggest names in the rap game. Eminem, his net worth, dropping his final album later this year, and is Jay-Z or 50 Cent worth more.

BOOM! Roasted. Danny is getting married and decided not to show up to today’s episode… so we built our own Danny instead. Keeping the wedding talk going, the boys discuss 1-year wedding anniversaries, and Matt's upcoming Alaskan cruise. Alex talks about what it's like getting an MRI of the brain and nerve tissues, and why you feel like peeing your pants. With warmer weather and summer near, it's time for being outside, grilling and rocking the farmer's tan. Mowing the lawn shirtless when you're absolutely yoked... or letting that beer gut free.

Are the boys breaking bad? No... but the current resident at the Albuquerque house is quite the mean lady, and apparently does not like visitors. There are many pranksters who are hilarious, and Ed Bassmaster is one of them. An interaction in a parking lot with a UPS guy goes wrong. Delivery drivers have become infamous for leaving love letters on our door saying that they "missed us". Amazon may think they can pull a fast one with their proof of delivery photos... but not when there is snow in the photo during the month of June. SiriusXM needs to stop calling and sending offers in the mail.

The boys give their honest review on BeatBox - The World’s Tastiest Party Punch. It seems that video games these days have become a huge money pit filled with unnecessary skins, characters and downloadable content. How you would react during super awkward situations. Humor hit different back in the days of live audiences. Do The Martini Boys have a number one fan, Wallcock?!

The boys reminisce about the good ol' days of Tosh.O and Vine. As adulthood settles in, that "dad" feeling starts to kick in, finding joy in visits to Home Depot and Lowe's. Girls LOVE Target... so why not utilize our time by tailgating in the parking lot. Facebook peeves and how the social network has hit rock bottom. Holding one finger up in pictures growing up, and how the new generations are holding up four. Movie talks, accompanied by the satisfying crunch of homemade s'mores. Depending on what you're looking for, the Dollar Store is an underrated option.

The boys dive into nostalgic college memories, reminiscing about the infamous Four Loko, its tragic caffeinated downfall, and its return to the shelves. The wild world of solar eclipse conspiracy theories, pondering the strange beliefs that emerge during these celestial events. A curious notion that some people believe the sky is actually heaven. The idea of returning to the west coast as a friends trip is certainly in the cards. The hygiene (or lack thereof) at pool parties, shedding light on the murky waters and bacteria lurking beneath the surface.

Happy Easter! The boys talk about the origin of Easter, interesting/strange facts and candy rankings best to worst. Both Matt and Danny recently visited the west coast. Matt conquers his fear of heights as visits the top of Seattle's Space Needle. Danny became a snowboarding pro in Lake Tahoe. Alex feels that layovers are the worst, and flying directly is absolutely worth it if available. GET YA MERCH HERE...

We all used to hit the dance floor during school dances... and did we actually know what the true meaning of the lyrics were.

Alex saves a large crowd from being puked on at a nightclub. Drama starts in a country bar and things get a little heated. A groom wears his Apple Vision Pro on his wedding day and his wife's face certainly says it all. As avid readers (didn't you know?), the boys try and guess book titles using only quotes and hints.

Tips on making a great spicy margarita and what does Hey Arnold! have anything to do with it. Danny shares a story about renting a haunted house for his cousin's bachelor party. Low-stakes debates like would cats or dogs be better at running the world, should people have the right to wear PJs in public, and would you rather suffer through swamp-ass or chaffing.

Danny talks about his bathroom experience while being secretly recorded on the toilet. Things you have a habit of doing that others most likely don't do. The front opening of boxer briefs... and is it actually used or is it just for looks. Time to get weird and exposed on this episode.
