The Bucket Boys Podcast

The Bucket Boys finally do what Zak has been avoiding for months and record an episode over Zoom. That leads to old-school RadioShack nostalgia, ZipZaps, Fast & Furious cars, Pinewood Derby plans, a Sheetz joke that goes on way too long, and Gunnar calling the cops on one of the sketchiest drivers he’s encountered yet.

Then we hit the bucket for the Fermi Paradox, aliens, Twizzlers, voting, unwanted hugs, bandwagon sports...

This week the Bucket Boys get into brewery adventures, Lil Wayne nostalgia, Wu Tang and Bone Thugs, getting attacked by wasps and yellow jackets, and the ongoing debate over whether Gunnar is actually a redneck. We also discover why his yard has become a luxury salt lick for the neighborhood deer before getting into things that are way more embarrassing than they should be, jobs you could probably do with zero training, and why pro...

The Bucket Boys are back to argue about cold weather, terrible handshakes, whether words stop sounding real if you say them too many times, and the importance of actually pronouncing people's names correctly. Then the bucket takes us through Sonic vs. Mario, the cinematic potential of Mortal Kombat, Caitlyn vs. Bruce, the best government agency, virgin brides, terrible car designs, and Zak officia...

For episode 100, Chris Alan joins us to talk about The Rider, growing up in Rochester, spending 20 years in the military, family, getting older, and realizing how much of what you believed growing up eventually has to be unlearned. Naturally, that turns into old school gaming, GTA, robot uprisings, green carpet, tattoos, Tarantino movies, James Gandolfini, Keanu Reeves, and a whole lot of shit talking in between.&nbs...

This week turns into a full breakdown of terrible drivers, road rage, SAE vs. metric tools, Bigfoot, spray painted cars, dream 90s builds, hot dog rankings, and the growing realization that getting older means occasionally losing the battle with your own pants. Somewhere in there, we also announce the Bucket Boys live show and continue trying to bully Zak into doing stand up.

Gunnar and Zak figure out their love languages, call Gunnar’s wife in the middle of the show to fact check the relationship, and somehow end up debating parenting, psychics, fake accents, court jesters, Boy Scouts, prison reform, and whether the president is really just America’s designated “vibes guy.” Plus, Miss Cleo, terrible fortune tellers, funerals for people nobody liked, and the realization that bein...

Mike Oddo joins the Bucket Boys this week for a chaotic episode that somehow covers baseball road trips, Philly stories, Pokémon nostalgia, passive aggressive coworkers, kitchen disasters, sketchy warranties, and why modern cars seem determined to break the moment the warranty expires. Along the way the guys debate minor league baseball names, cooking tips, bizarre viral videos, and whether buying an old car might ac...

This week starts with an incredible story as Gunnar shares how his son Gavin and two teammates jumped into a lake to help rescue a family after their kayaks capsized. From there we get into sign language, barbershop etiquette, bizarre public encounters, WNBA drama, the best bears of all time, and why being called a "mother ass" might be the funniest insult ever.

The Bucket Boys kick things off by retiring the iconic boat horn before spiraling into Walmart greeters, receipt checkers, loud public whistlers, overcoats, leather jackets, and the everyday annoyances that somehow become full-blown debates. Along the way, they revisit old catchphrases, conspiracy theories, and the strange things people do in public. 

The second half takes a surprisingly deep turn into money, housing...

Mercury is in retrograde, and Gunnar is convinced it's out to get him. Between a flooded sink, a missing debit card, a fake dead cat, a canceled Kings Dominion trip, and one very frustrating Lowe's pickup, the universe keeps finding new ways to pile on. We also debate math, generations, work-life balance, wildfire smoke, Dick's Sporting Goods misunderstandings, and whether the stars really are pulling the strings. 

P...

This week we're talking bidets, public bathroom disasters, custom jerseys, lemonade stands, World Cup fever, Father's Day injustice, home improvement projects, ramen debates, awkward dancing, and the mental illnesses we've accidentally diagnosed each other with.

This week starts with fake presidential speeches and somehow turns into AI, FaceTime, self-checkout, time travel, conspiracy theories, Nintendo Switch addiction, aliens, and whether math can actually explain the universe. Along the way we survive a heat wave, debate the best era to live in, and ask the important questions—like who Earth should send to greet the aliens.

This week starts with Gunnar accidentally thinking his son got in trouble after receiving a text that simply said, “I got a citation.” Turns out catching a trophy fish means something very different in the fishing world. From there we get into beach trips, pier celebrities, outdoor cats, trophy fish, favorite animals, and why wombats might be the greatest creatures on Earth. 

The second half turns into friendship ...

This week the boys dive into Karen videos, overrated movies, childhood nostalgia, and the weird things that stick with you forever. We debate the greatest and most overrated films of all time, revisit Sonic the Hedgehog and Batman, share stories about skateboarding run-ins with authority figures, and discuss why some people seem determined to call the cops on everyone around them.  

Along the way we get into Fa...

The Bucket Boys are back from the road with stories from Philadelphia, New York City, and everywhere in between. Gunnar and Zak break down a chaotic comedy trip filled with missed connections, crowded cities, panic attacks, Pride weekend in Philly, questionable navigation choices, lost phones, comedy club adventures, and a surprise stop in Jersey City to film a commercial audition. The guys talk about performing in new cities, meet...

The Bucket Boys leave the studio and take the podcast to a boat for the first-ever Bucket Boys Yacht Club episode. What starts as a great summer idea quickly turns into a battle against heat stroke as Gunnar and Zak dive into golf tournaments, Siri reading inappropriate text messages out loud, weird political spam texts, cats versus dogs, the legendary FitnessGram Pacer Test, lacrosse, college sports, sexy birds, crow arm...

Gunnar is out, so Zak calls in the only person qualified to fill the seat—his wife, Sonia. The Bucket Boys temporarily become The Rector Family as they dive into marriage, communication, shopping habits, superpowers, old Vine videos, terrible movie takes, edibles gone wrong, favorite candle scents, and the little quirks that somehow keep a relationship alive after more than a decade together. 

It’s part relati...

This week turns into getting older, getting bigger, and trying to justify every bad decision along the way. We talk oversized clothes, elevator logic, standing desks, tummy time, dishwasher organization, and why some people should lose dish-loading privileges immediately. Somewhere in the middle we spiral into emo music nostalgia, favorite commercials, mall etiquette, hot sauce intolerance, and the realizat...

This week turns into fake radio stations, pacing while your wife gets ready, and debates that make absolutely no sense. We spiral through straw hole logic, forgetting how to swallow, fake medical emergencies, cruise ship conspiracies, weird foods, and why the government might just be WWE with paperwork. Somehow it all comes back to radio voices and crazy straws.
