Boomer Bunker

The Cornell texts say "none of the sexual stuff was illegal" — two weeks later it was "90% not consensual," and now New York has handed the case to Tish James.

Tennessee pumped two rounds of execution drugs into Christa Pike and she's still alive, and the Bunker has no sympathy for a woman who carried a piece of her victim's skull around in her pocket. Episode 453 also takes on the Cornell fraternity case. John and the Duchess pick apart AOC's version of events and find themselves agreeing with Sunny Hostin for the first time ever.

There's also the flydubai cockpit stabbing over Saudi Arabia, NBC's report on Diddy living large at Fort Dix, a Texas teacher who got probation for sex with two 16-year-olds, and Kristi Noem filing for divorce after 34 years. Plus Trump Tweets Read by Kate, John's NFL picks, and a full voicemail bag.

Topics Covered:

• Cornell fraternity case — The DA's reopened investigation, the "regret" debate, and AOC's "7 men, 7 hours" claim, which goes further than the lawsuit.
• Sunny Hostin — John admits she got New York consent law right.
• flydubai cockpit attack — A co-pilot allegedly stabs the captain, and passengers stop him over Saudi Arabia.
• Ana Kasparian — The "false flag" timing theory gets no sympathy here.
• Candace Owens — The online rumor and Nick Fuentes's reaction. Owens denies it.
• Christa Pike — Two rounds of pentobarbital, a trip to the hospital, and Tennessee's executions halted for the year.
• "Don't vote" midterm videos — A satirical montage of voters sitting out.
• Trump Tweets Read by Kate — Prices, Biden, and Iran "in one night."
• Diddy at Fort Dix — Paid inmate help, a contraband phone, and who's smuggling it in.
• Texas teacher — Deferred probation for a teacher and two 16-year-olds, with the parents split.
• Kristi Noem — Divorce filed after 34 years.
• Voicemails — Jose, Dean, Half Redneck Bob, Mike and Stephen Hawking.
• NFL picks — John's week after going 2-5, and Browns-Steelers on Thursday night.

Forget safe spaces—this episode takes you straight into the cultural trenches. Boomer Bunker is fed up and naming names: from the COVID-masked meltdown at an imploding lesbian bar to government stupidity in the face of potential terror in England, nobody gets a participation trophy here. If you’re tired of watching the news and feeling like it’s just “business as usual” while civilization unravels, John Jamingo and Duchess are calling it exactly how they see it—no filter, just fire.

Expect unapologetic rants on America’s slow-motion Western civilization demolition, the idiocy of homeowners’ associations (the true neighborhood terrorists), and a drag-through-the-mud of the New York Times’ “Top 100 TV Shows” list that snubs everything actually worth watching. Plus: The NFL’s weekend of upsets, mask-obsessed bar-goers tanking their own favorite haunt, and the only COVID mandate lawsuit outcome in New Jersey that’s actually worth celebrating. If you want clean language and corporate vibes, don’t click. But if you’re ready for rants about woke stupidity, political cowardice, and a world gone nuts—hit play and join the bunker.

Topics Covered:

The Mask Meltdown at The Last Ditch — The lunacy of a lesbian bar being destroyed by its own woke clientele after the owner tries to save the business with “mask-optional” nights, only to get dogpiled by the same people who won’t even buy drinks.

Nor’easter on the Jersey Shore — Sideways rain, full-moon storm surge, flooded boardwalks from Cape May to Ocean City MD; Kate got soaked, John mostly napped through it.

John’s Can’t-Miss NFL Picks — Bills/Chargers cover was the lone win; Commanders, Steelers, and 49ers spread all burned him—and he forgot to bet this week, which may have saved his wallet.

The New York Times’ “100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century” — Breaking Bad #1, The Wire #2, Sopranos ruled out on a 1999 technicality, Yellowstone nowhere—and about 500 industry voters who clearly aren’t watching what the Bunker watches.

Five Men Near RAF Fairford — White vans, a midnight tip, five British men arrested near a U.S.-used UK air base… then released on police bail, not charged, while officials say “don’t jump to conclusions.”

Essex County’s $671K Vaccine Religious-Exemption Verdict — Groundskeeper Teddy DeBlasio’s lawyer says a unanimous jury awarded about $671K after Essex County denied his religious exemption—taxpayer-funded employer, county quiet.

San Antonio Landlord Beats the HOA — Elizabeth Luna wins $33,243.39 (HOA president ordered to pay $12,500 personally) after a void short-term rental ban meeting that failed Texas notice rules.

Trump Tweet, Read by Kate — Kevin Roberts on fake polls and midterms; MAGA, pretend Trump’s on the ballot.

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.
• Voicemails — Half Redneck Bob, Jose, and Dean.

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.

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.

Voicemail Call to Action

Be Like Billy Bob

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Cookie Wars: Store Brand vs. Name Brand
• Trump's Approval Ratings and 2027 Impeachment Chatter
• Texas Senate Race: Talarico vs. Cornyn
