Boomer Bunker

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...

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 o...

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...

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 afte...

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 comp...

Got a voicemail as unhinged as Bud Vugger's comeback? Leave your own: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemessageEpisode Art Provided by Boomer BobNobody 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 ge...

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...

Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemailWe 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 Ta...

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...

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...

Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemailEpisode Art Provided by Producer CodyRyan 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 ho...

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. ...

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 Ti...

Leave a VoicemailTucker 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 an...

Leave a VoicemailEpisode Art Provided by Boomer BobRFK 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...

Leave a VoicemailThe 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...

Leave a VoicemailThis 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...

Leave a VoicemailIf 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 n...

Leave a VoicemailBoomer 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 DM...

John and Kate open the episode with some cross-promotion catch-up, ribbing each other about Kate's guest spot on The Savage Unfiltered Show and her own solo project, Duchess After Dark.From there, the show slides into a loose, freewheeling middle stretch that covers John's ongoing health-and-supplement saga with his AI assistant "Claudette," including getting flagged for a total Taco Bell ban, his confession that he no longer watches TV and instead doom-scrolls short-form video for hours, and a real news item about a New York school piloting a humanoid robot teacher named Sally. That leads into Shane...
