Welcome to The Bucket Boys Podcast with Gunnar Cain and Zak Rector. Two friends. One bucket. Zero preparation. Each week, we pull a completely random topic submitted by listeners and let it spiral. From unhinged news stories to everyday chaos, nothing is off-limits once it comes out of the bucket. No scripts. No guardrails. Just stand-up instincts, real-life perspective, and chemistry that goes off the rails fast. New full episodes weekly. Pure randomness. What’s in the bucket this week?
