Boomer Bunker

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...

Leave a VoicemailThis episode has a Canadian tourist getting hauled off to ICE detention over a slap fight on a Jersey Shore boardwalk, a suspected murderer who thought fleeing to Jordan was a clean getaway, and John and the Duchess going full audio-engineer at the end of the show trying to figure out why the intro music is too loud — spoiler, it's still too loud.From there, it's a proper Howard Stern eulogy dressed up as commentary — is he still relevant, is that really his hair, does Sirius even release subscriber numbers — before pivoting into t...

Leave a VoicemailTonight's Boomer Bunker kicked off with the biggest story of the week — the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham at 71. John and Duchess dug into the preliminary cause of death, Trump's account of his final phone call with Graham, and the wave of ugly online reactions that followed within hours of the news breaking. From there, the show detoured hard into a heated, extended debate over New Jersey's new e-bike laws — registration fees, insurance requirements, and age restrictions for teen riders — with John coming down firmly against the overreach and Duchess arguing the safety case f...

This episode kicks off with the segment that gave tonight its name, the "Parade of Dunces" quiz game, where the Duchess tries to guess how badly a viral street-interview subject butchers basic trivia (spoiler: Idaho is apparently a language, and the Great Wall of China might be in Japan). It rolls straight into a socialist street-interview reel that's just as painful, before John and the Duchess pivot to Trump finally losing patience with Iran after a round of ship attacks.From there it's a full news gauntlet: Graham Platner's campaign implodes under rape allegations and a pile...

Leave a VoicemailMonday's Boomer Bunker kicked off with the usual internet gremlins and John complaining about the Heat Dome all weekend. John was also complaining about how ESPN isn't making it easy to watch the WSOP Main Event. But belt sander drag racing on ESPN, he can find. From there, it was straight into the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce wedding, which Kate declared boring before spending ten minutes on the details anyway.The back half went full chaos: Richard Dreyfuss's ex-wife wanting a robot boyfriend spiraled into a deep, deep dive on Bluetooth-controlled sex...

Leave a VoicemailTaylor Swift is dropping up to $20 million to get married at Madison Square Garden, on the Fourth of July, no less, and John and the Duchess are doing the math on what that actually costs per day of marriage. Then a masked couple free-climbs the Empire State Building's antenna, gets engaged mid-descent, and gets arrested for their trouble. It turns out they're professional daredevils with a Netflix documentary already made about them. John also goes off on the pile-on aimed at "World Cup Freddy," the German tourist who got dragged online for...

A guy got SHOT at a wedding because someone called him out for eating meatballs with his dirt dick beaters. John and the Duchess kick things off with a genuine controversy: McDonald's apple pie temperature inconsistency, which somehow leads to the Duchess eating two pies in one sitting. Then the news gets heavy fast. A New Jersey cop used law enforcement databases to stalk teenage girls. An Alabama man died of a heart attack while literally in the middle of dumping his girlfriend's body. A French asylum case so disturbing it speaks for itself — no commentary needed. And a Su...

It started as a debate about snack cakes and ended with fetishes, felonies, and a feeder mansion in Las Vegas. John and the Duchess locked in a full-blown snack war, TastyKake vs. Hostess, and nobody walked away without taking damage. John's a TastyKake loyalist, butterscotch krimpets and all. The Duchess called them ghetto cakes and went to bat for Hostess. The chat picked sides. It got ugly. And somehow, this led to a conversation about McDonald's bringing back the fried apple pie, DIY McRibs.A Las Vegas mansion called Pearadise that was sold to women as a...

A sitting New Jersey town councilman with six murders on his record just got arrested for loansharking — and the media barely flinched. The NJ Attorney General says he never left the life behind. A UK prison killing that's making people question what justice actually looks like, and a whole block of international news the mainstream press is spinning as hard as it can. Trump feuding with allied leaders. The hosts also dissect Trump's $16 million Reflecting Pool renovation, which the mainstream press is using to mock the administration while ignoring that Obama tried and failed to fix the same pool fo...

The British government spent decades covering up the systematic rape of at least 250,000 young girls — and a privately funded inquiry just named the politicians responsible by name. 219 pages. 149 districts. MPs who tipped off perpetrators. Social workers who handed out condoms instead of making arrests. Keir Starmer's record as Director of Public Prosecutions under direct scrutiny. This is the report the British establishment tried to bury. We covered it anyway.JD Vance walked into The View and walked out standing — calling himself an Epstein conspiracy theorist and watching Whoopi Goldberg come up empty when he asked her to name...

The Boomer Bunker crew returns to Twitch and dives into a lively, no-holds-barred conversation on everything from culinary crimes at Wawa to breaking news about immigration and sanctuary states. John Jamingo celebrates a rare victory in "Shitty Song of the Week," while Duchess helps listeners navigate the many ways to connect with the show. The hosts discuss bungee jumping gone very wrong, take a hard stance on US immigration policy, and sparsely agree on the state of American and international cuisine. There's plenty of witty banter, audience interaction, and a touch of friendly (and not-so-friendly) debate about who gets...

It's Duchess's birthday week, which means she's wearing the tiara, working the weekend anyway, and demanding overtime. But before the celebrations could get too warm and fuzzy, John and Kate dragged the whole episode through the Carmelo Anthony verdict fallout — a case where a kid got stabbed in the heart at a track meet and somehow half the country decided the real problem was the jury's racial composition. Jasmine Crockett showed up to race-bait, Chris Cuomo stumbled through his hot takes, and two Black women on video said what a lot of people were thinking. It got loud. It go...

The Boomer Bunker crew is celebrating Juneteenth the only way they know how: by dragging every corporation that tried to celebrate it into the middle of the floor. A New Jersey school district's Sodexo vendor slapped a watermelon graphic on the Juneteenth lunch menu. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis sold a "Juneteenth Watermelon Salad" at their Juneteenth Jamboree. And Kroger put "Free At Last" on a cookie cake. John's verdict? White people, just stop trying. Also on deck: Trump walks out of his Kristen Welker Meet the Press interview after she won't let him finish a sentence, and the...

Scott Pelley walked into a staff meeting on new CBS exec producer Nick Bilton's first day, publicly ambushed him in front of the entire newsroom, and got himself fired on the spot. John and the Duchess break down the CBS News meltdown — Bari Weiss, the Pelley termination letter, and why Stephen Colbert losing $40 million a year explains everything.Also on deck: a South Carolina detective pulled his service weapon on a coworker for microwaving fish (John is largely sympathetic), a New Jersey man beat his wife to death with a barbell after 40 years of "long, simmering hatred," an...

It's Pride Month, and the Bunker is celebrating the only way it knows how — by not caring. John, the Duchess, and Producer Mike kick off Episode 418 with a full rundown on the Delaney Hall ICE detention center disaster in Newark, where New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill spent a week pouring gasoline on a fire she started, then had the nerve to ask everyone to calm down. The NJ State Police eventually showed up and did what the governor couldn't — they ran in with shields, cornered the crowd like a fishing net, and zip-tied their way through the whole mess. It w...

The Boomer Bunker goes full-throttle out of the gate with John and the Duchess diving headfirst into everything from pickleball debuts to political circus acts. John breaks down his first crack at the sport and makes a solid case for why it's the new racquetball — which, by the way, used to require a fistfight just to get a court. From there, the conversation rolls through celebrity wealth, divorce paydays, Jeff Bezos laying off Washington Post staff and defending it as a businessman should, and a deep dive into whether Elon Musk owes the world anything just for being rich. Sp...

It's a Memorial Day episode, and the Bunker crew isn't taking the day off, because apparently taking holidays is a Gen Z thing, and Gen Z is already exhausted from the five whole years they've been in the workforce. John and the Duchess fire up a packed show covering the gender debate from every angle: Women getting banned from Planet Fitness for complaining about men in the locker room, a female NASCAR driver who quit mid-race over her mistakes, transgender TikToker insisting they belong in women's bathrooms, and a kindergarten teacher who can't figure out whether America should be...

What’s wilder: a NASCAR driver dying unexpectedly and everyone immediately placing bets on who’ll marry his “smoke show” widow, or two listeners leaving voicemails with the exact same dark joke in one night? Either way, you missed out if you weren’t live-trolling in the comments. If you think you’ve seen a Facebook flame war, wait till you hear the opinions in here about NASCAR, libertarians, and who gets to vote in LA (spoiler: apparently people think black folks don’t have IDs... and the room didn’t let that go).Nothing like a Boomer Bunker ep...

Welcome to the most chaotic pit stop in podcasting: It’s a crash-out, tear-down, laugh-at-the-mess bonanza where no sacred cow (or ex-racecar driver) is left unroasted. This episode fires out of the gate with Jamingo wrestling with technical issues and hypochondria — seriously, don’t let him watch medical dramas — before smashing into the wildest stuff on TV, politics, and pop culture. If you want to hear Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch get side-swiped by brutally honest recaps, or learn why Annette Bening’s face made Jamingo confront old age and existential dread, buckle the hell up.But the real speed...
