The Bucket Boys Podcast

This week spirals fast as we debate the chaos of self-checkout culture, receipt checks, and why stores insist on making customers do the job while pretending it’s a convenience.   Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio   Follow us: YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast TikTok: @bucketboyspod   Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy Zak Rector — @zak_s...

This week kicks off with big news as we finally drop merch, immediately lose focus, and spiral into a weekend that was supposed to be brunch and somehow turned into a full National Harbor takeover.   Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio   Follow us: YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast TikTok: @bucketboyspod   Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy...

It’s New Year’s Eve and the final episode of the season, so naturally we lose a toy immediately, crack celebratory Banquets, and stumble into way more reflection than planned. We talk screen-free flights, anxiety spirals at 30, middle-seat misery, rough landings, airport behavior, and why some people treat public spaces like their living room. From New Year’s resolutions we absolutely won’t keep t...

It’s Christmas Eve and we’re faking the holiday spirit just enough to get through the night. We debate Santa running late, Mrs. Claus’ first name, naughty vs. nice lists, flight logs, Real ID paranoia, and whether anyone should ever be on any list. We do a full in-studio gift exchange, accidentally nail the perfect presents, and unpack why Christmas hits different as an adult. From White Elephant...

This week we’re joined once again by Isaac as we spiral through hangover cures, friendship betrayals, and why dancing in the kitchen at 4 a.m. might actually be a spiritual experience. We try Japan’s minus-1.96 seltzers, roast bad bar chains, debate mashed versus baked potatoes, and argue about what truly defines a dive bar. Isaac walks us through Skankfest chaos, Ferris-wheel propositions, hotel-...

This week we go deep on leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches—what belongs, what ruins everything, and why cranberry sauce continues to divide the nation. From deviled-egg engineering to brioche-bun diplomacy, we take holiday food way too seriously before spiraling into New York trip stories, comedy cellar anxiety, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and the logistics of splitting an $5,800 Village apartment...

This week we break down Black Friday madness, zero-turn mower panic, and why Thanksgiving is really just an excuse to escape your family. We swap NYC parade horror stories, introduce Sticky Ricky the possibly-cursed studio doll, check in with Tampa Keith, roast bad football, argue about sparkling water, debate fake Tourette’s, and judge terrible parking jobs like Olympic officials.   Unhinged topi...

This week’s episode is a full sampler platter of unhinged opinions and oddly specific life lessons as we kick things off by defending the honor of light beer because sometimes you just want something cold without getting lectured by a guy in a flannel who homebrews in his garage. From there, we reveal a groundbreaking conflict resolution technique: take everyone to Wawa, because nothing ends a fig...

This week we’re joined by John Rademacher as we wander through the dorkiest corners of the universe. We also break down the science of Canadians, rewrite a few chapters of history, debate dogs vs. cats like it’s a presidential election, and try to figure out what exactly Washington, DC is besides traffic and monuments. Unhinged opinions, unnecessary confidence, and plenty of Rademacher chaos. Peak...

This week we spiral through passive-aggressive emails, why an AI wife would still be disappointed in us, Denver’s alien-guarded food court, the universal hatred of catheters, realizing Golden Grahams taste like… graham crackers (duh), and a very illegal idea for finding the “perfect baby.”   Dumb ideas, real laughs, zero qualifications. Classic Bucket Boys.   Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Pod...

This week we hit everything from the original football teams to modern rivalries, the weird process of voting, and whether AI is here to help us… or bench us. History lessons, civic confusion, and robot intelligence, all delivered by two dudes with microphones and zero qualifications.   Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio   Follow us: YouTube & I...

Halloween might be over, but the chaos isn’t. From people who celebrate spooky season year-round to Gunnar’s mountain-carved pumpkins and the rise of giant skeleton fatigue, this episode digs into the weirdest parts of the holiday we can’t escape. We also tackle genie loopholes, candy rituals, and the deep philosophy of shaking a box of Nerds before eating it. It’s another beautifully unfiltered e...

We’re rolling full speed into the chaos. From new skateboards and slow-motion falls to online trolls and golf meltdowns. Gunnar shows off his creative side, Zak refuses to answer the hotline, and somehow it all spirals into debates about pride, pain, and pure stupidity.   It’s another beautifully unfiltered episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast, packed with laughs, wild stories, and the kind of momen...

Our voicemail line is officially open — and things get unhinged fast. Listeners called in, roasted us, offered feedback, and left pure chaos. We played your messages, laughed at your complaints, and somehow made it worse. Expect rambling honesty, questionable promises (“we’ll call you back”… no, we won’t), and the kind of dumb brilliance that keeps this show alive.   Listen everywhere: Spotify | A...

A stand-up show where an audience hero stole the spotlight, a hilarious debate over the true draw of ASMR, and what it’s like to get overwhelmed by every single conversation in a crowded room. We talk about why jumping straight into politics gives us the ultimate ick, share an unbelievable Jeep parking fail caught on dashcam, and celebrate hitting a full year of The Bucket Boys Podcast with a big...

Penguins fans flooding Caps country and stirring up hockey rivalries, the hilarious hip action of competitive speed walking, and the guts it takes to wear the wrong colors in Philadelphia on NFL opening day. We dig into the greatest sports movies ever made and debate some of the hottest name-change controversies, from the Washington Commanders to the Braves, Chiefs, and Seminoles. It’s another bea...

Flat tire scams that turn kindness into chaos, late-night paranoia when someone won’t stop following you home, and the harsh truth that your entire neighborhood probably hates your loud car. From sketchy encounters to everyday fails, this one’s packed with stories that are equal parts hilarious and unsettling. It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast! Full of laughs, par...

Throwback snacks that never stood a chance (RIP Guacamole Doritos), pumpkin spice season obsessives catching heat, and the surprising tartness of a drink that wasn’t what it seemed. Add in dryer drama at home, fighting games that went way too far, and the accidental discovery of the perfect bar name: The Big Dipper. It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast — full of nost...

Birthday shoutouts, first concerts that made us feel way cooler than we were, festival chaos with mud, sunburns, and mystery tacos, the best (and worst) shows we’ve ever been to, and why live music somehow makes strangers sing like family. Oh, and it’s Gunnar’s birthday, so the party vibes are turned all the way up. It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast, packed with l...

Cans taste better than bottles, cocktails that literally change lives, and the wildest crowd-fueled comedy game you’ll ever see. Add in a brutally honest take on Filipino college options, a karaoke bar immortalized in a hit song, and a story that just might be the “whitest move ever.”   This week we’re joined by special guest Isaac Ignacio Bennett from the Bargoyles, bringing even more chaos, laug...

Cargo shorts and ankle socks getting roasted, sneakers downgraded to “old fat dad shoes,” and the harsh reality of no longer being a plain white tee guy. Add in band tee fake fans, sweet but brutal coworker honesty, and a 90-year-old losing it over an ID check. This one’s a mix of fashion flops, aging pains, and comedy gold. It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast full...

The temperature of the sun, aliens lurking in plain sight, Bigfoot’s weekend plans, man-made weather and chemtrails, celebrities going off the rails (Britney, Kanye, Wendy—yes, we’re talking about you), and whether the earth is actually flat or just really good at hiding it. It’s another beautifully chaotic episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast, filled with laughs, wild theories, and oddly passionate...
