A variety of serious and frivolous topics are discussed, though many of the show's topics are specific to the Orlando area.
, Buckethead began the talk show about six years ago on WJRR 101.1. The show then moved to 98 Rock in Tampa, FL and later took The BS to Orlando Florida, WTKS-FM
104.1FM. Since this time, Buckethead and the crew have presented local and national news, putting their spin on it; a spin which they refer to as "Intellectually Immature Nonsense." Buckethead excels at a variety of different skills including battling serpents, singing on-stage with Bret Michaels
of the rock group Poison
, and bouncing ideas off of his listeners' (or die-hards) heads.
Bailey takes serious interest in the 1980s, born in the mid 1970's he was raised in the 80's, and takes a true shine to the music, movies, toys, and clothing style of the decade. He often reminesces over these days, while providing stories (never exaggerated) of his messed up upbringing. His logic doesn't always make sense, and he often treats movies as if they are real life, and tries to re-create scenes in real-life argument, but it might just be him LTGing it. Living The Gimmick, for long.
Bailey is also known for his efforts in the community, bringing LOFJO (Lights Out For Jobs Orlando) to the peoples' attention, and The BS Saves Christmas in December 2009, when he called upon the die-hards to help string up lights and decorate the downtown Orlando/Lake Eola area after the city made budget cuts that threatened the holiday spirit.
Oddo - Oddo is from Brooklyn, NY. He later moved to Daytona Beach, FL and attended Full Sail University. He worked for The Philips Phile
on WTKS
104.1 for 15 years. After being released, he signed back on with WTKS to co-host The BS in June 2009. Oddo is a singer in a band, hosts the Odds On You Poker Tournament, and has an affinity for skulls. He is also involved with a woman 14 years his junior.
Prince - (Johnathon Howle) Prince is a leprechaun-look-alike with a nose piercing, and a crazy beard, yet he claims to be "straight-edge." Not into drugs, Prince is a fan of video games, zombie-hunting and break-dancing. He started out as an intern (or on The BS, an "Intard") long ago, but is now legit. Howle is from Dade City, FL.
Bull - (Bryan Sklover) Bull is from Little Ferry, New Jersey
, and later attended University High School in Orlando but never finished. He would go on to get fired from a grocery store starting with "P" and ending in "ublix" for eating a chocolate donut on the job. He never refers to Publix by its name on the air. He also worked for Cool/Big 100, and WJRR
101.1. He then joined the BS on September 29, 2008 as producer. Bull does a good job, but his the rest of the crew and the callers tend to rip on him for being fat and for giving out useless (and a lot of times wrong) information.

Nothing Personal

Wednesday
Survey Says
Each week, Oddo surveys 100 random people and asks them to name the first thing that comes to mind when given a strange category, such as "Name a vegetable you cannot eat in 1 bite." The answers are always applicable to the situation, except for one sick, twisted answer out of left field. For example, for the vegetable topic, the joke response was Teri Schiavo. Two callers go up against each other, each choosing to team up with Bucket, Prince, Bull, or an Intard, attempting to guess the responses. Not to be confused with Family Feud.

Program Content
The Buckethead Show has a very regular rotation of games and guests on the program based upon the day of the week. The only game played every day for a prize is News Under the Influence (N.U.I.) in which news audio is slowed down as if to make the reporter sound "all about being drunk." The caller is then given 3 headlines (1 correct, 1 close, and 1 wacky) to choose which one matches the story.Monday
