Dream Bucket

Hi again. We've done it again and are excited to share! Please E-mail us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. Send us your dreams aka shower thoughts for us to pull out of the bucket at the end of each episode. For this episode, I've asked Chat GPT to make a description...here it is! It's not really very accurate...but that's something that comes with AI, political candidates, corporate financial statements, all that stuff.

In this uproarious episode of "Bucked Dreams," Kc, Nick, and Jon embark on a hilariously chaotic exploration of space burial—under the influence. Amidst laughter and questionable decisions, they delve into the absurdity of unconventional burial practices, from rocketing ashes into orbit to, yes, even the bizarre realm of drunk pooping and poop drinking (don't ask). As they navigate the fine line between existential ponderings and bodily functions, join them for an unforgettable journey through the cosmos of conversation. From dying alone to social planning gone awry, this episode guarantees laughs, gasps, and perhaps a bit of introspection—all with a side of intergalactic absurdity. Tune in, but be warned: it's a wild ride from start to finish!

Thanks Chad...I could've said it better myself, but not at this hour of the evening. The future! To space, where Nick can be lain (don't worry, on last report he is not dead yet)!

Thank you to all who have listened to the Dream Bucket these 25 episodes. We have a had a blast doing these together. On top of that, people have enjoyed listening to the product. 200-300 downloads a month is plenty fun for us to see. Now send us a million dollars. Stop holding out on us. 

This round the crew covers an update to the 80 day challenge, and other romantic endeavours. Even if it's a large weight, dermatology is still a thing that exists to build community. 

E-mail random ideas, feedback, or dreams to intothedreambucket@gmail.com. We hope you enjoy!

The Dream Bucket is experimenting with some variations within the spirit of the Dream. These experiments will be called the Side Bucket. Here is where Jon, KC, or Nick can try out other projects as part of the Dream Bucket family. Plant a little seed and see if it grows. This first variant is, for now, called the Community Bucket. The idea is that Jon will lead discussions with the exceptional and fascinating people in our community. Subjects will be candid and likely contain the stuff of caring for communities. What is community anyway? Schools, families, mentors, and whatever else becomes interesting. 

Our first guest is a dear friend Alec Rogers with his daughter Aniyla. We won't say much more about what came up, but at the end, Aniyla gave it a boringness rating of 6 out of 10...well maybe 7 she said. Perhaps it's not geared for the 2nd grade crowd, but you might enjoy it!

Why did Mark do what Mark did? Does Mark keep his pants up while using the urinal in the bathroom? Will KC find a way to setup Mark with one of her other friends? Can we start our own dating app where KC plays matchmaker? Is Mark ok? I vote for the last one, but apparently KC doesn't really want to get rich after all...I digress...since that is what we do on the Dream Bucket. 

Come, enjoy, send us one of your digressionary thoughts into our bucket of strange ideas that just might come true...intothedreambucket@gmail.com. 

We're back in 2024! On a cruise, seeking engagement, only to find that Casablanca isn't as romantic as we had hoped. Thanksgiving is often a time for family bonding and coming together over their gratefulness to healing connections. But it often is not at all that, holy crap. Also folks; it's not a New Year's Resolution if it starts on January 2nd, 80 days baby! Listen to us, find your life path, get rich.

And send an E-mail of an errant ponderance into the Dream Bucket please. intothedreambucket@gmail.com. To those that have, it's been very fun to bounce off your wild minds. 

An episode that might just keep you from snoring. KC, Nick, and a Dad are on the scene of discovering yet another fraud amongts the sea of horizontal hoping. Will an arrow fly true, or will the nasal cavities be yet plugged for another bedtime?

Why wouldn't Skechers wear a shirt that fits to the date? How do we help the children know not to call people "Poopy?" Also, does anyone know about Internal Family Systems? With now two fully licensed therapists (congrats KC) on the show, the group dives into the "all parts are welcome" approach to self-analysis. But what is so funny about poop anyway?

E-mail us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. Like really. I mean, it's been 6 months. Just test it out. Just say, "hi, I'm here, is this real." If you have a pondering thought, an aspiration, a curiosity, a dream of a better world, or a solution for world peace, send it in the format of "I dream of..." and we'll throw it in the hat. Or the new bucket we started talking about but then got distracted because that is the nature of these things. Intothedreambucket@gmail.com. 

Maybe our E-mail inbox has a dream-catcher filter on it. Is there a folder for that?

The gang explores if a Daishiki is really breathable. Jon fails to protect KC from a bonnet blunder. KC calls out entitled rich lady at the Sushi shop. This episode dives into culture, appropriation, and Nick's listening to Oxy Cotton until he crashed his car. Perhaps he'd have been helped out by better Cultural Appropriation Insurance coverage. At least in Minnesota it's no fault. Valium could've helped that bash. Doo do doo do doo do do doo. 

What does it mean when a guy refuses to take you on a date? Is it as bad as when you are accused of being a bully after leading the bridesmaids through a shit-show? Does Beyonce have wierd poops too? Can you really judge a person by the quality of their poop? KC may be accused of being too rigid by her ex-boyfriend, but that doesn't mean she didn't get a massage in Turks and Caicos. Jon, KC, and Nick take on life's challenges with humor and depth for another round of the Dream Bucket. If you have any Dreams (imaginative ideas that sound appealing) you'd like to send our way, please E-mail us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. 

Some of us get married. Does it have to be dramatic? Does it have to bring in awkward wedding party situations that almost get the sweet, understanding KC, kicked out of the wedding? Does KC need to get her money back or not? Either way, someone needs to keep score and keep track of the outs, because Jon is not settling for T-Ball without consequences. In his effort to add spice to a benign game, his eldest son ends up twice bleeding. That was not the plan. But then again, the Titanic was never supposed to sink. Nor the Titan explode. Yet karma comes...even/especially for white people...Jon shall watch his six. His oldest...is six. KC...how many people were in that wedding party after all? They should pay you back.

Kendra, KC's former roommate, is our special guest this episode. We've got stories of when guys should take off their socks, when people should take down Christmas lights, where Tom went, and how Kendra found Thor's hammer. When Winnie the Pooh makes an appearance, Kendra here's her call to "sugar" a wandering soul. Is it really best if sugar momma's nurse their dependents? Well, Kendra just completed nursing school, so perhaps she is ready to take the leap. 

KC recalls her fond adventures of meth as a child while Jon tries to create a strong and healthy Coco. Nick ponders on double non-existence. The gang wonders who ya gonna call cause they ain't afraid of no ghosts. 

This episode jumps through a number of topics that, in writing this synopsis, I'm struggling to weave together tactfully. Instead, I'm going to write a really long sentence. Here we go. KC finishes her first Ramadan fast, Jon disagrees with Islam about the time of the sunrise, KC shares a harrowing tale of how almost failing her fast with Wendy's leads her to be there for a loved one as he bleeds from several gunshot wounds, the hosts bicker about Heaven and Hell, Jon threatens violence on a theoretical version of God, KC struggles with cat hair, gets kicked out of her Master's program, and her brother accidentally shares some intimate moments with her via his butt's ability to answer phones for him at inopportune times. 

Think you can make sense of it? Tune in. Think you can't? Tune in anway. Got a dream? A random thought that you'd like to hear bantered about by people who excel in random? E-mail us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. If you do decide to listen, we hope you enjoy it.

Have a Frosty for us. 

The Dream Bucket has been kicked around, taken a mild pause, yet it's coming back at you for a 2nd season...which starts...now. KC's trashy dating life has had time to stew, even boil over since last we recorded. We're going to learn about a man named Tobias, and what it means to Love-Bomb (a form of psychological or emotional abuse that involves a person going above and beyond for you in an effort to manipulate you into a relationship with them). Sounds oddly a lot like parenting thinks Jon-Dad as he types this. 

Anyway, got a random thought? A ponderance? A dream? E-mail us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. KC says that we don't accept negative feedback, though the Board is yet to vote on that. On this episode the crew tackles the dreams of cheating on people and being able to choose your own family. Perhaps next time we'll tackle if it's possible to cheat on your family. 

What happens when two BBW's meet on a pirate ship? Will someone have to get their body done? Who will find their belly button first? Tune in to see how Jon, KC, and Nick.

E-mail in your "Dream" questions for the "Bucket" at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. See if you can get us riled up pondering some odd thoughts. 

Jon and KC process the goods and bads of time through KC's saga of being late, and Jon's battles with his 4 year old son. KC teaches the the less cultured Bucket members about what Dry Snitching is. Thank you KC. KC has problems with all sorts of plumbing. In a discussion of the drug trade, Jon and KC disagree about Fentanyl addicts being role models. Finally, KC's next romance may be asking to cross some of her lines...but KC's grandma thinks she should be more open-minded. Got any subjects/ideas/dreams you'd like us to discuss? Send an E-mail to us at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. Buck on!

KC and Jon explore getting caught in drama, being drawn into drama, and stepping outside the drama. KC has been accused of "liking drama." Is it true? When Alex the Aryan from Facebook tried to sell/scam us into our first marketing product, KC slammed the door in his face several times. Meanwhile, Jon sympathized with him and suggests we exercise caution as Alex said he "is a real person and has a big team." This leads to a discussion of our pain body attracting us to drama and keeping us from healing. Jon uses cucumbers and tomatoes to tell the salad story of a drama he is working through personally. And please, don't be like KC's mom, like us on Facebook. If that's too hard, send us an E-mail at intothedreambucket@gmail.com. E-mail us a dream and we'll put it in the bucket for the next episode. A dream could be any wild idea, wish, hope, or bizzare question that will spark some wonder. Bring on the dreams. 

The little podcast that maybe can is levelling up with a new E-mail address (intothedreambucket@gmail.com). We have close to 3,000 downloads, and we don't know how it's happening. KC levels up to elevated luxury in the mountains that makes her question the genetic authenticity of people who live in the mountains. Jon, aka Daddy Darko, finds Dr. Who too dark for his children while KC accuses them of being "strung out on Paw Patrol." Jon's parenting stories seem to encourage birth control and sex education, but that won't deter KC from casting a wide net and catching some fish she doesn't think belong in the lake. 

Dream Bucket is very excited to present their first guest Steve Floyd! Steve is a community leader and mentor to KC and Jon. He has been working as a mentor to gang-involved and court-involved youth for 40 years and has been very active on-the-ground in violence de-escalation in South Minneapolis, his home neighborhood. KC was introduced to Steve as she was about to stir up some trouble in her high school newsletter. Together, they discuss Steve's journey going through kidney failure, accepting death, and coming back to health on the other side. Also, Steve shares his perspective on decades of work as a street healer and a cultural elder, as well as extensive dating advice for KC.
