HypoJohndriac | 451
John Jamingo showed up gassy, nauseous, and convinced it's stomach cancer, and the Duchess wasn't buying it. Tonight's Boomer Bunker starts at Six Flags Magic Mountain, where more than 100 riders say the X2 roller coaster gave them brain injuries. Then it's down memory lane to New Jersey's legendary death trap, Action Park, a.k.a. "Class Action Park": the Grave Pool, the Alpine Slide, and a water slide that reportedly took a test dummy's head off. Plus Great Adventure stories: Free Fall, Cheap Trick, the karaoke booth, and the night the punks flipped the tram. Then it's Eagles tailgaters vs. the parking lot. New rules double the price for RVs and split up decades-old tailgates, and fans have formed the Philadelphia Association for Tailgating to fight back. The Philly teacher called the "Palestinian Rachel Dolezal" admits she faked being Palestinian and Black, a UN report documents forced marriages of girls in Gaza, and a Kansas City mom who put her baby in an oven gets 13 years after the murder charge is dropped. To wrap up, CNN heads to the Trump-donor Ellison family, Kara Swisher wants out, Kate reads Trump's latest post, and the chat turns John's stomach trouble into the episode title. Topics Covered: Can't-Miss NFL Picks — John went 3 for 5 last week. This week: Bills, Seahawks, Bengals, 49ers and the Eagles. Plus John vs. Kate in fantasy. Six Flags X2 Lawsuits — 100+ riders claim brain injuries; the ride kept running between two emergency surgeries. Great Adventure Memories — Free Fall, Cheap Trick, the flipped tram, karaoke cassettes and today's ticket prices. Action Park — Six deaths, the Grave Pool and 26 head injuries on the Alpine Slide alone. Eagles Tailgate War — Oversized parking doubles to $200 and tailgaters form the Philadelphia Association for Tailgating. Bunker Watch Party — A Discord stage for Steelers at Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 22. The "Palestinian Rachel Dolezal" — West Philly teacher Hannah Gann admits she lied about being Palestinian, Tunisian and Black. UN Report on Gaza — Forced marriages of girls 12 to 17 up 123% in three months. Oven Mom Gets 13 Years — Murder charge dropped in the death of a one-month-old in Kansas City. CNN Sold to the Ellisons — CNN and CBS News land under one Trump-donor family, and Kara Swisher wants out. Clips & Road Rage 101 — Why clips matter, plus a plug for the morning show John produces. Trump Tweet Read by Kate — Trump vs. CNN and "MSDNC" over the Xi Jinping visit. HypoJohndriac — A January endoscopy and the self-diagnosis spiral that named the episode.

I Apologize to the Audience | 450
Episode 450 got its title from a little on-air friction. During the Converse Chuck Taylor ad segment, the Duchess apologized to the audience before John could describe the video he was playing, and John was mildly annoyed. "I apologize to the audience" turned into the running joke of the night. It came back on a Steelers tangent, and again when the chat started throwing money at Kate to wear a latex Trump mask. She wouldn't do it at any price. Behind the bit, it's a loaded Monday. Trump bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, and John is almost with him on it. Ed Sheeran plays Lincoln Financial Field alone after the Macklemore "free Palestine" fallout cost him his openers and his band. A 93-year-old driver goes through the patio of a Jersey Shore restaurant, and the hosts take on the question nobody wants to answer: how old is too old to drive? Plus Lauren Boebert's fired-up video response to an ethics complaint, the Sydney Sweeney ad backlash, and Carrot Top's hospitalization. The Duchess might be headed to iHeartRadio's Top Host. John relitigates Travis Kelce's Ponzi scheme losses. The Eagles escape Tennessee with 14 seconds left while the Steelers get flattened in New England. Topics Covered: Top Host — Kate got an email from Top Host, the iHeartRadio and Ryan Seacrest competition where the winner gets a six-episode podcast and $25K. John's convinced she'll win it. Listening back: Travis Kelce's Ponzi scheme — John picks back up on last episode's argument. Kate laughed at Kelce getting scammed because she thinks he's not smart. John's comeback: he earned that money honestly, and dumb people don't deserve to get robbed either. NFL weekend — The Eagles beat the Titans on a Jalen Hurts touchdown with 14 seconds left but still didn't cover. The Steelers got blown out by the Patriots, including a 4th-and-43 moment after a backward fumble while Kate was wearing her Polamalu #43. How old is too old to drive? — A 93-year-old driver hit the gas instead of the brake at Meg's Grill in Lavallette, NJ, killing a 56-year-old Toms River woman and injuring seven. Kate thinks testing should start in the late 60s or early 70s. John, turning 65 in two weeks, swears he can still parallel park. The talk spirals into seniors without public transit, QR code menus, 411, pay phones, and phone cords that reached the basement. Sydney Sweeney vs. Lindsay Clancy — A street interviewer asks which woman hurts women more, and the answer infuriates both hosts. Kate: Sweeney is a businesswoman using her talents. John: The real problem for women isn't the patriarchy; it's other women. Ed Sheeran plays Philly solo — With no openers and no backing band after the Macklemore "free Palestine" walkout, Sheeran carried the Linc himself. John says real talent shines through. The chat's take: never apologize to the mob. Carrot Top hospitalized — Scott Thompson, 61, is in the hospital recovering after what TMZ reports was a suicide attempt. His Luxor show, the longest-running in Las Vegas history, was canceled. If you're struggling, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Converse ad controversy — A freeze-frame of a Chuck Taylor ad with a spotlit white skirt and dangling sneakers got called KKK and lynching imagery. John thinks the outrage was manufactured from one frame and says Converse should have stopped apologizing. Kate thinks it wasn't a lynching, just a dumb-looking ad, and she still wants red Chucks. Also: Bobo sneakers and John's pitch for memory-foam "Gen X Chucks." Skeleton-hand yoga pants — John caught the Duchess on X loving black yoga pants with skeleton hands cupping each cheek. She loves them and says she will never wear them in public. Trump Tweets Read by Kate + the White House press ban — Kate reads Trump's post calling the ban an assault on "fake news," not the free press. Reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico lost their badges, and Trump posted three labeled garbage bags on the White House fence. John's almost with Trump: Hunter's laptop, the lab leak, and years of silence on Biden. Prediction: Trump lets them back in before the midterms. Gas, diesel, and a trucker strike rumor — Diesel prices, Ukraine hitting Russian refineries, and chatter about an October trucker strike. Kate's noticed picked-over shelves at Walmart, and the two compare how long they'd last if things fell apart. The Trump mask — Jerry sent Kate a latex Trump mask that squeals when squeezed. The chat pledged real money to get her to wear it. She refuses. John will wear it for free. Steelers vs. Eagles watch party — The two teams meet in November, and the hosts are planning to livestream the game together. Lauren Boebert's response — Rep. Boebert posted a video blasting reporters over an ethics complaint alleging relationships with staffers. She says the House Ethics Committee can't accept a complaint filed within 60 days of an election. John notes she attacked the press but never actually denied it in the video. Listener feedback and voicemails — Tina Greenwood says watch Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. Teresa says the Sydney Sweeney outrage is only because she's not a liberal. Voicemails from Bud Vugger, Dean, and Producer Mike. Website: https://boomerbunker.com Discord: https://boomerbunker.com/discord Support the Show: https://boomerbunker.com/support Get involved!

NoGig | 449
Artwork by Boomer Bob (Blame him) I don't know when "I'm offended" became a full-time job, but episode 449 is basically a case study. We start with a hacker group tearing open a Flock surveillance camera and finding out it's been quietly logging your face — not just your plate — by the hundreds of thousands. Then it's the manufactured meltdown over Arch Manning laughing at an AI video, because apparently a 22-year-old having a sense of humor now counts as "promoting violence." Somewhere in there Robert Kraft tells Macklemore to take his "Free Palestine" routine somewhere else, and I go on the record about why cancel culture has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with cowards who can't win an argument. From there it's Sydney Sweeney getting dragged for a betting ad by women who apparently have zero problem with actual men playing women's sports, Travis Kelce proving once again that a rocket arm doesn't come with a working brain, and a full round of voicemails to close it out. Duchess and I don't agree on all of it — good, that's the point. Topics Covered: Trump Tweet Read By Kate — Trump demanded the Fed cut rates to 1% or less, one day after the Fed actually raised them to 3.75–4%, the first hike in three years. We break down why "best credit in the world, by far" doesn't hold up — the U.S. hasn't had a top credit rating since Moody's downgraded it in 2025. Flock Cameras Are Tracking More Than License Plates — A hacker collective cracked open a roadside Flock Safety camera and found it logging photos of actual people, not just plates, by the hundreds of thousands. We get into whether you have any expectation of privacy in public, government vs. private use, drones as first responders, and where the line actually is. Arch Manning's Apology He Shouldn't Have Had to Give — Texas QB Arch Manning laughed at a fake AI video of his coach appearing to slap ESPN's Holly Rowe and got dragged for it by half the internet. We get into why a joke about something that never happened isn't "violence," and why nobody's talking about the reporter who dropped her mic and stormed off live. Kraft Bans Macklemore Over "Free Palestine" — Robert Kraft personally kept Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after his onstage stunt cost four other opening acts their gigs. We get into who's actually in the right here — and neither side comes out clean. The Outrage Mob, Full Teardown — Why "you have free speech, not freedom from consequences" has turned into an excuse to try to get people fired instead of just debating them — including the pile-on over Sydney Sweeney's sports betting ad, Sophie Cunningham getting booed in her own arena, and Riley Gaines getting barricaded by campus police, all for having an opinion. Travis Kelce Named a Victim in a $35M Ponzi Scheme — The man behind SwiftArc Capital just got sentenced to prison after scamming Kelce and a list of other athletes out of millions — and a sitting Missouri congressman personally asked the judge to go easy on him. Voicemails — Halfway Back Jose checks in, Producer Mike and All White Dean bring the jokes, and Deuce calls in to correct one of my facts. As usual.

Barnabus Bob | 448
Episode 448 of The Boomer Bunker Podcast opens with dueling Sunday disasters: co-host Kate ran a personal-best 5K through a flash flood warning in Pennsauken, NJ, while John Jamingo spent his Sunday in the emergency room after two black stools sent him in for bloodwork, a CT scan, and a very memorable exam — all while trying to keep tabs on the Steelers and Eagles games from a hospital bed. From there, John and Kate turn to New Jersey politics, going after Governor Sherrill over her sanctuary state policies after an illegal immigrant fleeing an ICE stop crashed into a car on Route 130 in North Brunswick on September 2nd, leaving Dr. Penelope Cohen — wife of East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen — hospitalized with a leg injury. From there they spiral into a full AI regulation debate — should the government step in on frontier AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, or does regulation just hand the industry to the biggest players — which spins into an extra-long Trump Tweet segment, read by Kate, framing AI panic as the next climate-change-style hoax. The back half goes full spooky-season detour: Kate geeks out over the new Crystal Lake / Friday the 13th prequel headed to Peacock, John admits — again — that horror movies give him real nightmares, and a rabbit hole through Dark Shadows and Barnabas Collins somehow mutates into the AI-generated character who gives this episode its name: Barnabus Bob. Along the way, they get into Elvira's own memoir account of losing her virginity to Tom Jones as a young Vegas showgirl. Topics Covered: Kate's Flash Flood 5K — Kate ran a 5K in Pennsauken, NJ during a flash flood warning at Cooper River Park, finishing soaked to the bone and clocking her fastest 5K time ever. John's Emergency Room Visit — Two black stools while on blood thinners sent John to the ER for bloodwork, an exam, and a CT scan — all while sneaking in the Steelers and Eagles games. NJ Governor Under Fire Over Sanctuary Policies — John and Kate slam Governor Sherrill after an illegal immigrant fleeing an ICE stop crashed into a car on Route 130 in North Brunswick, injuring Dr. Penelope Cohen, wife of East Brunswick Mayor Brad Cohen. AI Regulation Debate — John and Kate debate whether the government should step in on frontier AI development, covering dropped guardrails, AI agents spinning up on their own, and the fear that regulation just protects the biggest players like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Grok. Extra-Long Trump Tweet, Read by Kate — Kate reads an extended Trump tweet dismissing AI panic as the next manufactured hoax, right alongside Russia-Russia-Russia, the impeachment hoaxes, and climate change. Crystal Lake: A Friday the 13th Prequel — Kate previews the 8-episode Peacock prequel centered on young Jason Voorhees and his mother Pam at Camp Crystal Lake. John's Horror Movie Phobia — John explains why he still can't watch horror movies without nightmares, leading into a detour through '70s horror TV staples like Dark Shadows. Elvira's Tom Jones Story — The Dark Shadows detour leads into Cassandra Peterson's (Elvira) own memoir account of losing her virginity to Tom Jones as a young Vegas showgirl. How Barnabus Bob Got His Name — A Dark Shadows tangent about Barnabas Collins spirals into the AI-generated bit that becomes this episode's title.

Claudia Please Save Us! | 447
The tech gremlins were out in full force tonight — the episode kicks off with the intro music playing for John and nobody else. Just the cherry on top of a rough day. Buckle up: this one's a rant-filled episode. The thing that really had John on the warpath? $4.49 a gallon for gas — he came two quarters short of putting a C-note in his tank. Republicans can throw all the midterm conventions they want; it's not going to make anyone forget how high prices have climbed and keep climbing. John and Duchess agree: if the Democrats take control after the midterms, this country is doomed. Then there's the story out of Anthropic, where a researcher quit because he believed AI has a 10% chance of wiping out humanity within a decade. John put the question to Claudia directly, and she didn't sugarcoat it — no guardrails exist, and companies and countries alike are stripping the ones they had as the race to be first heats up. And speaking of going off the rails, John gives his unsolicited opinion on how to fix the school system. Because of course he does. Recorded one day before the 25th anniversary of 9/11, John and Duchess dig into newly surfaced city records showing officials — including then-EPA chief Christine Todd Whitman — knew within weeks that the air at Ground Zero was dangerous while telling the public it was safe to breathe. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch marked the anniversary by unveiling a new memorial wall at One Police Plaza honoring 469 officers who died of Ground Zero–related illness, and by calling out "9/11 revisionists" who blur the line between heroes and terrorists. That sets up the bigger fight: several 9/11 families, along with Giuliani, Pataki, and gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, are calling on Mayor Mamdani to skip tomorrow's ceremony — while Trump heads to the Pentagon instead of New York and JD Vance represents the administration there. You wouldn't guess it from this episode, but New Jersey ranks as the second-happiest state in the country. John's theory: Jersey people don't bottle anything up, and that's exactly why they're happier. Apple's new foldable iPhone drops at $2,000 — and even John, a lifelong Apple fanboy, thinks that's too rich. "I can buy an iPad and a regular iPhone for less than $2,000," he said. Bud Vugger, Dean, and Producer Mike all called in with voicemails. And John picked four NFL games against the spread, just so he had an excuse to use the new Sydney Sweeney–fronted sports betting app. (Show notes written by the show's AI Assistant Claudia) Join us Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30 pm Eastern for our live stream on the following platforms: https://www.youtube.com/@theboomerbunker https://www.twitch.tv/theboomerbunker https://rumble.com/c/BoomerBunker Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/boomer_bunker Join our Discord: https://www.boomerbunker.com/discord Voice Message and Text Number: (856) 477-1935 Leave us a voicemail: https://www.boomerbunker.com/voicemail Did we bring you value?

Have Your Cake and Eat it Too | 446
John opens 446 by putting the nastiest family dinner-table hypothetical you've ever heard to a vote — and somehow that's not even the most unhinged thing this episode covers. From there it's a hard turn into an American Airlines passenger getting duct-taped and zip-tied to his seat after a racial-slur meltdown at 30,000 feet, then straight into the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, where John makes the case that a guy who lost his job over one bad night on a plane is getting torched harder in public opinion than a mother who strangled her three kids — and the Duchess isn't fully buying the comparison. Also on deck: a second Illinois case eerily tied to the Clancy trial, a Wall Street guy named "Mr. Global" who called a suspicious oil futures trade a full day before the US bombed three Iranian tankers, and John's official position on Congress trying to force AM radios into every new car (spoiler: he does not care). Plus a Western Michigan-Michigan officiating disaster, a Barbara Eden health update, and the chat weighing in on all of it in real time. Topics Covered: The Cake Debate — John recaps a filthy either-or hypothetical from a family gathering and puts it to the Duchess and the live chat to settle once and for all. Barbara Eden Update — Clears up that her canceled film festival appearance was a bad medication reaction, not a health scare, straight from her own Instagram. Michigan vs. Western Michigan Controversy — The hosts break down the Hail Mary, the phantom second put back on the clock, and the Big Ten's explanation for why the TV clock and the game clock didn't match. Airline Passenger Duct-Taped Mid-Flight — An American Airlines flight to Newark gets diverted to Baltimore after a first-class passenger hurls a racial slur at a flight attendant and attacks another passenger, and gets zip-tied and duct-taped by fellow travelers. Lindsay Clancy Mistrial & the Sympathy Gap — John argues the plane passenger is getting more public hate than a woman who strangled her three children; the Duchess pushes back that the two cases aren't a fair comparison. A Second "Copycat" Case — An Illinois mother allegedly killed her toddler son hours after obsessively following the Clancy trial, and the hosts weigh whether more cases like it are coming. Suspicious Oil Trade Before the Iran Tanker Strikes — A trader known as "Mr. Global" flagged a large oil futures buy right before the US bombed three Iranian tankers, and John wants to know who knew what and when. AM Radio Mandate — Congress is voting on forcing every new car to keep an AM antenna; John explains why he genuinely does not care either way.

The Great Cookie War | 445
Got a voicemail as unhinged as Bud Vugger's comeback? Leave your own: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemessage Episode Art Provided by Boomer Bob Nobody was safe in Episode 445 — not Oreos, not Congress, not the mainstream media's talking points. John and the Duchess turned a story about South Carolina banning candy from food stamps into an all-out brawl over whether name-brand cookies are worth the extra buck, and the chat had a name for it before the segment even ended: The Great Cookie Wars. But this is still Boomer Bunker, so the real world didn't get ignored. A Times Square stabbing ended in a police shooting that even NYC's own mayor had to praise. A Los Angeles podcaster got indicted for allegedly threatening to assassinate the president. And a father whose daughter was left disabled by an undocumented driver stood in front of Congress and told Democratic lawmakers exactly what he thought of their sympathy — on camera, no apology. Canada's Prime Minister, meanwhile, is refusing to talk trade until "the memes stop." You can't make this stuff up, and we're not going to pretend it's normal. John and the Duchess also didn't hold back on the Gloria Steinem news, the fight over trans athletes in women's sports it turned into, or a certain 24-hour Bushwick "sex camp" story that had to be heard to be believed. Come hang with people who say what they actually think, not what a network tells them to.

Park in the Back! | 444
Somebody started a hoax online claiming Texas Roadhouse servers were spitting in Black customers' food - no evidence, no proof, just a made-up post that blew up into a full-blown boycott before Texas Roadhouse's own investigation called it 100% fake. John and Kate break down how quickly a total fabrication turns into a movement when nobody bothers to check whether it's true, and it's not the only story this week where the narrative moves faster than the facts. Trump made news again by renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," and Google updated its maps to reflect the change, while Canada refuses to budge. Then Trump goes straight after NBC's Kristen Welker over "Meet the Fake Press" spinning his endorsement numbers, in a Trump Tweet segment read by Kate that pulls no punches. Also on deck: the "heroin chic" comeback nobody in Hollywood wants to admit is happening, Howard Stern getting quietly pushed out at SiriusXM before landing a new HBO Max deal, updates on two teachers facing serious charges, and 85-year-old Donna Mills cashing in on OnlyFans. If you're only getting your news from the mainstream feed, you're getting half the story.

Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemail We open this one heavy — Dolly Parton is gone, and John and the Duchess spend real time on what she actually built, not just what she wore: the Imagination Library, the Dollywood empire, and the fact that she stayed out of politics for 50 years and somehow ended up beloved by everybody anyway. President Trump ordered flags lowered nationwide in her honor, and the guys have thoughts on who actually deserves that versus who's just got a title. From there it's straight into the chaos: a Target Halloween costume controversy, a teachers' union boycott that's using its own pension money against itself, and a reading-scores debate so good it earned its own nickname live on air — "The Fauci of Reading." Also on deck: Amazon wants to drop packages out of the sky onto your driveway (or, in one viral case, your pool), a mom's Instagram group chat turns into a full-blown war over a sleeve of Oreos — hence the episode title — and a Texas drag show ruling actually gets John and the Duchess landing on the same page about where the line should be. Plus two real announcements: Boomer Bunker is leaving Spotify by September 15th, and John and Kate's new health-and-wellness show, Over 50 Overhaul, is officially live.

Boxed Wine | 442
The Boomer Bunker kicks off with the Duchess fresh off seeing Rush live — no Neil Peart, a new female drummer named Anika, a still-got-it (mostly) Geddy Lee, and a $100+ concession bill for two baskets of chicken tenders and a couple of drinks. From there, John and the Duchess tear into the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, roasting the wave of "wine mom" true-crime detectives on TikTok who've decided — based on astrology charts and eclipse timing- that the husband did it. John also brings the receipts on a real screaming match he had with his AI research assistant Claudia over the Stop Nick Shirley Act and the Minneapolis ICE shooting, accusing her of feeding him left-leaning sourcing. Then it's straight into Jersey's new "Skip the Stuff" law, which bans restaurants from automatically handing out plastic forks, knives, and napkins — and sets up a snitch system for anyone caught giving them out anyway. John connects it to Governor Murphy's outgoing budget mess and gets into a full plastic-bag-ban rant for good measure. Add in Gavin Newsom quietly signing a law nicknamed after journalist Nick Shirley to shield fraud investigators from public records requests, four unprepared 18-year-olds who had to get rescued off a New Hampshire mountain, and two women who each got caught with contraband hidden in a body cavity during jail intake — one with $3,200 in cash, one with a full bottle of Pinot Grigio — and this episode does not slow down.

Jamingo's Body Junk Yard | 441
Harvard is paying $53 million after its own morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, got caught running a black-market body parts ring out of Harvard Medical School for years — heads, faces, skin, hands, stolen from donated cadavers and sold to buyers in three states. One buyer wanted skin tanned into a book. John and the Duchess dig into how an elite institution either missed or ignored a five-year operation happening inside its own building — and yeah, the episode title is exactly what you think it is. Also tonight: the FBI seized former Congressman Eric Swalwell's phone and raided his DC home — but the story didn't break for four days, and John wanted to know why. AI cohost Claudia had real answers about how sealed federal warrants work, and the timing lines up suspiciously well with a separate White House document dump on Swalwell's decade-old ties to a Chinese intelligence operative. Then Sen. Jon Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" dig at Trump blows up into a full aide controversy, complete with wild — and entirely unverified — stories about Natalie Harp sleeping in a locker room and riding in a Suburban's trunk. Plus: 14 people charged in a Penn State cocaine ring where the alleged ringleader nicknamed himself "Pablo Pledgescobar," a Florida road-rage fight that ended with a bitten-off ear, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial reigniting a real Daily Wire fight between Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, and a live game to crown the official Boomer Bunker "male Karen" using real one-star review data. Spoiler: it's not Chad. Topics Covered: Harvard's $53 Million Body Parts Settlement Eric Swalwell FBI Investigation Jon Ossoff's "Natalie" Comment Blows Up Florida I-95 Ear-Biting Penn State's "Pablo Pledgescobar" Cocaine Ring Lindsay Clancy Trial + the Shapiro/Walsh Feud The Male Karen Game — A live game using real one-star review data to crown the male equivalent of "Karen."

Duchess Decides: Who's The Best Podcast? | 440
Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemail Episode Art Provided by Producer Cody Ryan Seacrest and iHeartRadio are hunting for the next "Top Host" — so the Duchess actually signed up, and John made her earn it live on air. He built a 10-show bracket out of real podcasts hosted by real friends of the show and made her crown a champion in real time, no do-overs, no mercy, guaranteed to hurt somebody's feelings. What she picked, who she had to eliminate, and what it says about her as a podcast host by the end of it — that's the backbone of Episode 440. Also in the mix: Nancy Mace shows off new ink and the reaction is not subtle, a Fuck-Marry-Kill round involving sitting members of Congress that goes places you won't see coming, a Trump Tweet reading that turns into an actual "wait, what's a drone port?" tangent, and a 13-year-old in Arizona facing a real assault charge over a game of dodgeball — which somehow turns into 15 minutes of "we called it bombardment and nobody sued anybody." Plus a Dean voicemail, and Teresa's after-the-fact rundown from Discord.

Deletify | 439
John is making a stand with Lorenzo of the Church of Lorenzo Podcast! Spotify is torturing Lorenzo with copyright violations. And Spotify flagged four Boomer Bunker episodes to be pulled from Spotify. John Jamingo named it "Deletify," launched a hashtag, and is weighing whether to walk away from the platform entirely. Also this episode: Friend of the show Daniel messaged John on how he tested China's GLM-4.6 AI and John gave Claudia, the Boomer Bunker AI, on the same political platform prompt. One gave straight answers. The other refused the premise. John picked a winner. The Duchess picked apart John's reading of big words. Both were correct. John’s fat lazy south jersey was in full effect. The NYC First Lady is flying into Syria and Lebanon — a Level 4 State Department travel advisory zone, She thought with NYPD protection, and then City Hall and the NYPD publicly contradicted each other about who approved it. Mayor Mamdani called it a miscommunication. ICE is rolling out 380-volt electric shock gloves under a program called G.L.O.V.E., with a government-cited 1,300% rise in officer assaults as justification. A New Jersey Democrat skipped a scheduled court hearing to attend the Knicks parade. And the $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot winner bought a ticket in a gas station in Quincy, Illinois.

Dirty Bean Flicker | 438
John's iced tea got fingered. Literally. A trip to his regular Dunkin' Donuts turned into a full-blown sanitation crisis this episode when the Boomer Bunker crew found out the woman making John's order stuck her middle finger straight into his cup before filling it — earning her a new nickname on the show that's now the episode title. It's the kind of story you can't make up, and it kicks off an episode that only gets more chaotic from there. But the real fireworks came later. A lighthearted segment on Bill Maher and Mike Rowe's "Real Time" conversation about the 7 million American men who've dropped out of the workforce turned into a genuine, heated argument between John and the Duchess over whether trades like plumbing, electrical, and mechanics can actually be learned on YouTube — or whether they require real trade-school training. It got personal, it got loud, and it did not fully get resolved on air. Beyond that: two separate WNBA controversies (Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring for the draft, plus Sophie Cunningham's ejection-and-"white privilege" incident), the $20 burrito fight that split the GOP, and Argentina's president showing Congress how real fiscal accountability works. Oh, and a runaway python and a guy who tried to run over a jogger for saying good morning. Topics Covered: The Dirty Bean Flicker Incident — John recounts a Dunkin' Donuts employee sticking her finger inside his iced tea cup before filling it Jogger Nearly Run Over for Saying "Good Morning" — A Georgia man is accused of trying to hit a woman jogger with his car three times after she greeted him Runaway Python Found Under NJ Shed — An 8-foot Burmese python with a suspiciously full belly gets pulled from under a Freehold, NJ family's shed; X-ray reveals it ate a full opossum Bill Maher & Mike Rowe on America's "NILFs" — The hosts break down the roughly 7 million young American men who've dropped out of the workforce entirely — then get into a genuine heated back-and-forth over whether trade skills can be self-taught on YouTube or require formal schooling WNBA's Trans Draft Fight — Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White both declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, with White claiming transgender identity specifically to compete; the league forms a task force in response Sophie Cunningham Ejection & "White Privilege" Fallout — A hard foul, an ejection, and a locker-room social media post turn into the WNBA's second controversy of the week The $20 Burrito War — Turning Point USA's Andrew Kolvet sparks a GOP civil war over whether young people's affordability complaints are legitimate Argentina's President Shows the U.S. How It's Done — Javier Milei's new "fiscal shackle" law holds politicians personally accountable for deficits Show Links: Website: https://boomerbunker.com Discord: https://boomerbunker.com/discord Support the Show: https://boomerbunker.com/support Get involved!

Here Goes Nothing | 437
Leave a Voicemail Tucker Carlson and MTG are floating a new party and claiming a 10-point platform that flat-out doesn't exist yet — John and Duchess aren't letting that slide, and neither should you. This episode doesn't pull punches: a Fort Dix prison guard sleeping with an inmate, a Comcast manager literally smashing pies in employees' faces as punishment, and a WNBA trans-athlete fight so upside-down that both the media left AND right are dogpiling Caitlin Clark for the exact same "shut up and dribble" answer they've fought over for years. Then it turns serious. John and Duchess dig into the story almost nobody else is covering right now — an 83-year-old Canadian grandmother allegedly euthanized under the country's MAiD program after she explicitly refused it, with her family saying she never gave final consent. This is the kind of story that shows exactly why people leave the corporate networks behind. Plus MTG joins Cameo, a Jersey pizza parlor owner loses it on camera over a birthday cake, and Half Redneck Bob delivers another one for the ages. Topics Covered: Tucker Carlson's "America First" Party — Carlson, Massie, and MTG are floating a new third party with a supposed 10-point platform; John and Duchess call out that no official platform has actually dropped yet. Marjorie Taylor Greene Joins Cameo — MTG's charging for Cameo videos now, joining George Santos, Matt Gaetz, and Sarah Palin in cashing in post-Congress. NJ Pizza Parlor Birthday Cake Meltdown — A Point Pleasant Beach pizzeria owner goes off on a family on camera over a birthday cake she'd already approved. WNBA's Trans-Athlete Firestorm — Sophie Cunningham's stance on biological males in women's sports, Caitlin Clark catching heat from both sides, and Clay Travis's $10 million bet and all-trans "Nashville Balls" franchise pitch. NJ Prison Guard's Affair With an Inmate — A married Fort Dix federal corrections officer facing charges over an alleged relationship with an inmate. Comcast Pie-in-the-Face Lawsuit — A former Xfinity worker suing over a manager's bizarre pie-punishment ritual for low sales performers. Helicopter Parents at Job Interviews — Gen Z parents inserting themselves into their adult kids' job searches — interviews, recruiter calls, and all. Canadian Grandmother Euthanized Without Final Consent — The family of Brigitte Stegemann, 83, says she was euthanized under Canada's MAiD program despite refusing it and never giving final consent — a story you're not going to see covered like this anywhere else. Trump Tweet + Listener Voicemails — Kate's Trump Tweet read, plus Half Redneck Bob, Dean, and Deuce from the Brainiacs podcast calling in.

Drones of Steel | 436
Leave a Voicemail Episode Art Provided by Boomer Bob RFK Jr. went twenty-one rounds with CNN's Dana Bash over COVID, Fauci, and the measles outbreak — and on tonight's Boomer Bunker, John says Bash looked like "a deer in the headlights" by the end of it. Then Sophie Cunningham takes an elbow straight to the face defending her stance that the WNBA should stay biological women only — and somehow SHE gets called for the foul. John and the Duchess break down why both sides are turning her into a political pawn, whether Trump gets fairly blamed for a Fauci mess that started under Biden, and why a SoHo CVS worker got fired within 24 hours of filing workers' comp for a jaw a knife-wielding attacker shattered while she was defending a security guard. Also tonight: Chelsea Handler wants Joe Rogan's $82 million podcast paycheck redirected to veterans — so John and the Duchess run their own "Guess the Payday" game with Forbes' full highest-paid podcasters list. Schools are now deploying pepper-spray drone swarms against active shooters, which turns into a full robot-dog-and-flamethrower brainstorm session live on air. And Trump pauses new strikes on Iran to chase a deal — cue "Trump Tweets Read by Kate" and the Rocky/Apollo Creed breakdown of why Iran might win a war it can't actually win. Topics Covered: Sophie Cunningham's elbow, no foul called t. RFK Jr. vs. Dana Bash on CNN Chelsea Handler vs. Joe Rogan's $82M payday SoHo CVS worker fired after workers' comp claim Pepper-spray drones in schools Iran, Trump's paused strikes, and the Hormuz standoff Fantasy Football League kickoff MTV's 45th anniversary Listener voicemails — Dean closes it out with a joke even John admits he shouldn't have laughed at.

Camel Toe Conservative | 435
Leave a Voicemail The Duchess is back behind the microphone after a week in Michigan, and they waste no time getting into it. Starting with a genuinely wild story about her hotel room getting interrupted by sheriff's deputies investigating a hit-and-run next door. From there, John and the Duchess spend a solid chunk of the show on the internet's newest self-inflicted political circus: 19-year-old Miami influencer Savanna Cannon, whose Instagram takedown of Rep. Ilhan Omar sparked backlash not from the left, but from fellow conservatives who couldn't get past how she was sitting for the camera. The hosts read through the pile-on — including a since-viral tweet from former Delaware Senate candidate Lauren Witzke mourning the days of "brilliant conservative female thought leaders" — before Cannon's own defiant response is read on air. What starts as a media-controversy segment turns into something sharper: an unplanned deep dive into OnlyFans' actual economics, founder history, revenue tiers, the brutal math of who really makes money, that John uses to draw an uncomfortably accurate parallel to podcasting itself. It's one of the most substantive stretches of the episode, and it lands. The back half pivots to privacy, tying together three stories that turn out to be the same story: Meta's mandatory update locking smart glasses cameras if the warning LED gets tampered with, the spread of Flock Safety license-plate cameras into ordinary parking lots and coffee shops, and the case of an Atlanta man facing federal charges for wiping his own phone during a CBP search. The hosts don't land on a clean answer — John openly admits he doesn't know where the line should be — but the debate over surveillance, consent, and how much privacy still exists in public is easily the most thoughtful argument of the night. Dean and Half Redneck Bob send in voicemails and a couple of properly filthy jokes near the close, making for one of the funnier, more free-flowing installments in a while. Episode Topics The Duchess recaps her Michigan trip, including a wild hotel story about sheriff's deputies investigating a hit-and-run next door. John taste-tests a "prebiotic Pepsi" and revisits diet-soda classics like Tab and Fresca with the Duchess. Conservative women online turn on 19-year-old influencer Savanna Cannon over her Ilhan Omar video and on-camera pose. The backlash spirals into an unplanned deep dive on OnlyFans economics and its eerie parallels to podcasting's business model. Meta's mandatory camera-lock update, nationwide Flock license-plate cameras, and an Atlanta man's border phone-wipe case spark a privacy debate. The hosts trade stories about location tracking, from Google Maps history logs to employer-issued "electronic dog leash" phones.

God Doesn't Care About the Fifth Amendment
Leave a Voicemail This couldn't wait until tomorrow night! John does an out of the ordinary bonus episode. Anthony Fauci sat in front of the Senate today and pled the Fifth over a hundred times — despite having a full, unconditional pardon from Joe Biden covering everything he did going back to 2014. John's take: only a guilty man pleads the Fifth that many times, and this hearing laid the case out in full — illegal grants, Wuhan funding, and a cover-up John says the receipts now prove beyond argument. Rand Paul's opening statement, Josh Hawley asking Fauci to name the color of his own tie just to watch him invoke the Fifth on nothing, and Fauci's attorney getting physically ejected from the hearing room all make the cut — along with the 1,000+ pages of Fauci's personal diary Paul released over the weekend just to rattle him before he even sat down. This episode also connects the dots John's been drawing for years: the hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin bans, the takedown of anyone who questioned vaccine safety in real time — John argues the censorship was the cover-up, not a separate story, and today's hearing is the proof. Democrats on the committee, including Blumenthal, pushed back hard defending Fauci, so this wasn't a one-sided beatdown — it was a real legal fight over whether a pardon can erase someone's right to stay silent. John's verdict: guilty, evidence and all — but thanks to the pardon, it won't cost him a thing. Topics Covered: Fauci pleads the Fifth over 100 times — First time in 250+ congressional appearances Fauci has ever invoked the Fifth, despite a blanket pardon from Biden covering 2014 through January 2025. The pardon vs. the Fifth Amendment fight — Rand Paul and Josh Hawley argue Fauci has no valid Fifth Amendment claim since he's already immune from prosecution for anything the pardon covers. Hawley's tie-and-carpet stunt — Josh Hawley asks Fauci to identify the color of his tie and the carpet in front of him, just to force him to plead the Fifth on completely harmless questions. Fauci's attorney thrown out of the hearing — Paul has Fauci's lawyer physically removed after he keeps trying to object and answer on Fauci's behalf. The 1,000-page "diary" drop — Paul releases over a thousand pages of Fauci's personal diary over the weekend before the hearing, which Fauci calls an attempt to embarrass and intimidate him. Blumenthal and Senate Democrats defend Fauci — Committee Democrats push back on the Republican line of questioning, arguing the pardon doesn't erase the right against self-incrimination. The censorship is the cover-up — John ties the hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin platform bans directly to today's hearing, arguing the censorship of anyone questioning vaccine safety wasn't precaution — it was hiding exactly what Republicans laid out today. Wuhan funding and the "illegal" grants — John argues the Wuhan gain-of-function funding trail and the grants Fauci applied for are proof, not allegation, and should be clawed back. John's verdict: guilty, evidence and all — John argues the case against Fauci isn't close — illegal grants, a documented cover-up, "all the evidence" on the table — but the pardon means none of it sticks. Guilty or not, he goes home to his family either way.

Globalize the Empanada | 434
Leave a Voicemail If you thought Trump bombing at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was bad, wait until you hear the meltdown from liberals who took his “I’m running for a third term” joke as a constitutional crisis. Yes, you heard that right - cue the national panic, YouTube rants, and a parade of clueless hot takes. The Boomer Bunker doesn’t just cover the fallout; they roast it, barbecue it, and serve it up with extra sarcasm. This episode is pure gold for anyone sick of media stupidity, political theater, and manufactured outrage. But it’s not just Trump and his dud jokes getting the spotlight: you’ll get the breakdown on New York’s “terrorist” mayor drama, Sid Rosenberg going nuclear on Fox News, and the Berlin van attack that the press would rather blame on “rogue automobiles” and machetes than on the actual nut behind the wheel. If you’re tired of sanitized podcast fluff and want real talk (read: raw, sometimes offensive, always opinionated), hit play. Someone needs to say all the “forbidden” stuff, and Boomer Bunker’s doing it with zero apologies. Topics Covered: Trump's White House Correspondents’ Dinner Disaster — How Trump’s speechwriters set him up for one of the most cringe-worthy bombing runs of his life, with John Jamingo and Boomer Bob gleefully dissecting every dud punchline and awkward moment. No Agenda Donations — John Jamingo marvels at the massive cash rolling into No Agenda after John C. Dvorak’s passing, and dreams of a “Bunkinator” drop-in for Boomer Bunker. Eric Zane Sponsor Meltdown — A play-by-play of Eric Zane torching advertiser relationships and fans the second money stops flowing, offering a cautionary tale for would-be media grifters. Savannah Bananas & ‘Banana Ball’ Rules — Real baseball talk, but fun: the wild rules, history, and Harlem Globetrotter-level antics of the Savannah Bananas, with sharp takes on why MLB is hopelessly boring by comparison. Trump Roasting, Then Roasted — In-depth roasting of Trump’s roasting—how even good comedians couldn’t save the night, and how the president and press aren’t as clever as they think. Liberal Meltdown: “Trump’s Running for a Third Term!” — The moment the left lost its mind over a troll announcement, and why Boomer Bunker thinks reacting that way just proves the joke works. Sid Rosenberg Calls NYC Mayor a Terrorist — Fox News gets put on blast for both airing and then apologizing for Sid’s missile-launching takes on air, while the panel wonders aloud who actually watches Fox and why. Berlin Pride Van/Machete Attack — No sugar-coating: straight talk about who and what was actually to blame, plus a slap at the media’s cowardly reporting tactics. Trans Asylum Fail — A trans woman flees “Trump’s America” for the Netherlands, ends up in a violence-filled refugee camp, and now wants back into the U.S.—and the irony is not lost on anyone here. Bathroom TikTok Outrage — Two “content creators” get called out for trying to livestream from bathrooms and make it a racial crusade instead of basic common sense. Voicemails & Trump Tweet Bit — Jokes, viewer calls, Helen Keller humor, and the traditional reading of a Trump tweet—whether you hate it or love it.

Full CoHost Experience | 433
Leave a Voicemail Boomer Bob steps in for Duchess this week and somehow survives the full co-host gauntlet — technical hiccups, off-mic chaos, a StreamYard meltdown mid-show, and a sign-off bit that'll make you miss the Duchess by minute two (turns out even the software agrees nothing works right when she's gone). From there it's peak Boomer Bunker sprawl: a half-serious pitch for a podcaster's union, war stories about the podcast networks that flamed out a decade ago, and John griping about what AI is doing to audio editing. Then the news gets real. New Jersey's DMV somehow registered 6,600 non-citizens to vote — yes, even after they said "no" on the citizenship question — and the state and its software vendor are now publicly blaming each other while DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon opens an investigation. We say goodbye to podcasting pioneer John C. Dvorak, co-host of No Agenda for nearly two decades. Trump just handed Saudi Arabia the ability to enrich its own uranium, which is either fine or a five-alarm fire depending who you ask. And on the crime beat: Amy Fisher's son allegedly microwaving his cat alive, an Orlando family's $300 dine-and-dash that turned them into main characters on social media, and one Florida case so disturbing — a man's real-life obsession with elderly women landing him life without parole — that it might be the darkest thing we've covered. Topics Covered: Boomer Bob Fills In for Duchess — Bob takes over full co-host duties for the night; the crew immediately hits technical issues with StreamYard locking up mid-show, which they blame on "The Curse of the Duchess." Podcaster's Union Pitch — A half-joking brainstorm on what it would take to unionize podcasters, and why it'd probably never work. Podcast Network War Stories — John and Bob reminisce about the podcast networks of a decade-plus ago that promised cross-promotion and collapsed instead. AI and Audio Editing — John vents about how AI tools are changing (and complicating) the podcast editing process. NJ's 6,600 Non-Citizen Voter Registrations — New Jersey MVC registered thousands of non-citizens to vote due to a software error, even after applicants indicated they weren't citizens; the vendor is now disputing Gov. Sherrill's "glitch" framing, and DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon has opened an investigation. John C. Dvorak Tribute — The crew pays respects to the late No Agenda co-host, discussing his role inventing early podcasting alongside Adam Curry and what it means for the show's future. Trump's Saudi Arabia Uranium Deal — Debate over the new agreement letting Saudi Arabia enrich its own uranium, weighed against the ongoing conflict with Iran over the same capability. Amy Fisher's Son Charged in Cat's Death — "Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher's son faces animal cruelty charges after his cat died from alleged microwave exposure.
