Drunken Peasants is a podcast hosted on several platforms, primarily YouTube, and is currently hosted by Benpai and Billy the Fridge with a rotating cast of regular guests. The show was originally founded/hosted by Benpai and TJ Kirk until TJ parted ways with the show in 2017. The show has regularly featured people like Pauls Ego, Scotty Kirk, Pimpmunk, Hellbent, Girl Does Rant, Jeff Holiday, Dusty Smith and more.

The general format involves the hosts providing commentary on news, entertainment, and politics, in addition to responding to and/or mock the occasional YouTube video, and get into online altercations with various people such as Brett Keane, G Man, and Ryan Wiley. Initially called the No BS Podcast, the show lasted for one episode under that name, before officially changing its name to the Drunken Peasants, referring to the fact that the hosts get drunk while doing the show (plus a podcast under that same name already existed).
