Description

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?

The Bucket Boys are LIVE from Heroic Axe in Warrenton, Virginia! Gunnar and Zak take the podcast out of the studio for their first live show, and the audience wastes absolutely no time getting involved. From planning the perfect crime during The Purge to surviving a zombie apocalypse, stealing lottery machines, and Zak's unforgettable Burger King experience, the boys quickly discover that a live audience makes everything a little more unpredictable.    Then the bucket takes over with drinking at gas stations, getting hammered at wineries, questionable birth control methods, secondhand sex toys, the coolest version of Kanye West, and a superhero whose only power is giving terrible drivers diarrhea. Plus, local comedians join the chaos, the audience gets roasted, and the boys make a HUGE announcement!    A huge thank you to Heroic Axe, Jeff, Rachel, all the comedians, and everyone who came out to make our first live show happen!    Patreon:  https://patreon.com/TheBucketBoysPodcast    GET YOUR BUCKET BOYS MERCH HERE!  https://the-bucket-boys-podcast.printify.me/    Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio    Follow us:  YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast  TikTok: @bucketboyspod    Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy    Zak Rector — @bucketboyzak | @ryno_392    #BucketBoysPodcast #ComedyPodcast #LivePodcast #StandUpComedy #HeroicAxe

The Bucket Boys are trying something new this week, recording an episode while watching the Panthers take on the Eagles. What could possibly go wrong? Between questionable football bets, nonstop penalties, and Zak realizing he might have talked Gunnar into a terrible wager, the boys somehow manage to keep the conversation going. They also break down their latest studio upgrades, revisit some questionable Pinewood Derby strategies, and discuss why Gunnar and his wife keep getting mistaken for swingers.  Then it's into the bucket for movie extras, acting auditions, space travel, meteorites, terrifying deep-sea creatures, and why our brains insist on making us dream. Plus, the boys revisit the early days of AIM and internet chat rooms, debate what they'd most likely get arrested for, and discover that watching football while recording a podcast might not have been their greatest idea.  Patreon:  https://patreon.com/TheBucketBoysPodcast  GET YOUR BUCKET BOYS MERCH HERE!  https://the-bucket-boys-podcast.printify.me/  Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio  Follow us:  YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast  TikTok: @bucketboyspod  Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy  Zak Rector — @bucketboyzak | @ryno_392  #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #BucketBoysPodcast #NFL #GoBirds

Gunnar is finally back, and apparently the podcast did better without him. The boys catch up on Gavin's trip to the state golf championship, Zak's nerve-racking best man speech, viral clips, bizarre AI posts on Facebook, and a comedy show where the audience refused to participate. Plus, they attempt to fix the studio equipment, debate sports bets, and consider starting a support group for people who don't know how to behave at comedy shows. Then the bucket takes things completely off the rails with the gayest fish, whether half a 5-Hour Energy lasts two and a half hours, four-day workweeks, the importance of boners to human civilization, and who would survive longer in a horror movie. Throw in irrational fears, Final Destination, and a guy who apparently ate lunch in a portable toilet, and you've got another ridiculous episode of The Bucket Boys Podcast.   Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheBucketBoysPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink   GET YOUR BUCKET BOYS MERCH HERE! https://the-bucket-boys-podcast.printify.me/ Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio   Follow us:  YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast  TikTok: @bucketboyspod   Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy  Zak Rector — @bucketboyzak | @ryno_392   #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #BucketBoysPodcast #ShittyRicky #StandUpComedy
Gunnar is out for another week, so Sonia is back in the studio with Zak, and things get weird fast. Between the Braves' playoff disappointment, ugly Crocs, celebrity crushes, lottery tickets, and dream houses from movies and TV, the two somehow end up debating how many hot dogs they could eat and whether sponges actually come from the ocean.  Things only get more ridiculous with moon landing conspiracies, fear of cruises, terrible dog names, disgusting office lunches, a microwave burrito disaster, and the question of whether Zak could successfully land an airplane. Plus, the countdown continues to Bucket Boys Live on October 24th!  Patreon:  https://patreon.com/TheBucketBoysPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink  GET YOUR BUCKET BOYS MERCH HERE!  https://the-bucket-boys-podcast.printify.me/  Listen everywhere: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon Music | iHeart Radio  Follow us: YouTube & Instagram: @TheBucketBoysPodcast TikTok: @bucketboyspod  Gunnar Cain — @gunnarcaincomedy   Zak Rector — @bucketboyzak | @ryno_392  #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #ScrubDaddy #ConspiracyTalk #BucketBoysPodcast
Gunnar is out this week, so Sonia steps in with Zak and immediately takes over the Bucket Boys studio. The two recap a chaotic wedding weekend, Zak’s first best man speech, staying up until 3:30 in the morning, Sonia’s new Audi and tattoos. Then they hit the bucket for aliens, Joe Rogan, gay animals, goat yoga, terrifying childhood mascots, whether dinosaurs were actually giant birds, bringing extinct animals back to life, HOA Karen boot camp, disappointing your parents, and the possibility that Sonia’s Prince Charming has been sitting across from her the whole time.
