Boomer Bunker

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 body-positive safe haven turned out to be a feeder fetish operation, and yes, John pulled the top 10 most common sexual fetishes.

An Oklahoma Arby's manager allegedly spat herpes into a customer's sandwich on purpose, knowing full well she was having a Herpes breakout. Giving the unsuspecting customer the Herp. Caning is making a global comeback, which sparked a surprisingly heated disagreement between John and the Duchess about corporal punishment in schools.

Topics Covered:

• Snack Wars: TastyKake vs. Hostess — John defends TastyKake (especially the butterscotch krimpets and peanut butter Kandy Kakes) while the Duchess goes hard for Hostess. The debate pulled in the chat, touched on fried apple pies at McDonald's, DIY McRib recipes on TikTok, and why Taco Bell keeps discontinuing the one item everyone loves.
• WNBA / Caitlin Clark — Alyssa Thomas suspended just one game for putting her fist in Caitlin Clark's throat. John and Duchess called it a slap on the wrist, argued Clark is the Jackie Robinson of the WNBA, and questioned why her teammates won't defend her.
• McDonald's Fried Apple Pie Returns — The original fried pies are back through July 4th. John went back to a second McDonald's to avoid being profiled as the pie guy. He also proposed a fried apple pie à la mode with caramel drizzle as McDonald's biggest untapped revenue opportunity.
• Pearadise Feeder Fetish House — A Las Vegas mansion marketed as a body-positive creator community for plus-size women is exposed in a new Investigation Discovery docuseries as a feeder fetish operation. The founder allegedly coerced and sexually exploited residents. One woman died at 29. John worked in the Top 10 Most Common Sexual Fetishes list to put feederism in full context.
• Top 10 Sexual Fetishes — John and the Duchess ran the list from 10 to 1: chastity/orgasm denial (fastest growing, up 193% since 2020), feederism, role play, leather/latex, spanking, dominance/submission, body part fetishes, foot fetish, exhibitionism/voyeurism, and BDSM.
• Arby's Herpes Sandwich — A manager in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, allegedly spat into a customer's food during an active herpes outbreak and has been charged with felony poisoning. Surveillance video caught her doing it. The customer later tested positive for HSV-1. Her husband and hospice-bound mother-in-law also ate the sandwiches.
• Caning and Corporal Punishment Comeback — Singapore confirmed boys as young as 9 can be caned at school for bullying. Back in the U.S., 18 states still allow corporal punishment in public schools. The segment triggered a real disagreement — John thinks a crack across the cheekbone has its place; the Duchess says no stranger is hitting her kid, period.
• Voicemails — The crew ran listener voicemails, including jokes from Deuce, Half Black Neil, and Dean.

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 for more money and got zero coverage for it.

Topics Covered:

• NJ Mob Councilman Arrested — John Alite, ex-Gambino enforcer turned town councilman, arrested by the NJ AG for loansharking and extortion run through his own entertainment company. His lawyer calls it politically motivated. John and Duchess call it New Jersey.
• MSG Tragedy — 51-year-old father of two Paul Kueker fell roughly 150 feet to his death from the upper deck at Madison Square Garden during a Goose concert. No foul play suspected. Handled with appropriate gravity — plus an ill-fated live listen to Goose music.
• UK Prison Murder Sentencing — Three convicted murderers got whole life orders for killing child killer Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield. The hosts are not conflicted about this. The chat was not conflicted either.
• Keir Starmer Resigns — Britain's PM steps down after getting crushed by Nigel Farage's Reform UK in local elections. Seventh UK PM in roughly a decade. Trump posted on Truth Social that Starmer failed before the man even made the announcement.
• Reflecting Pool & Media Bias — Trump's $16M Reflecting Pool renovation gets wall-to-wall ridicule. John points out Obama tried to fix the same pool for more money, failed, and got zero press. The media bias angle is front and center.
• Trump vs. Allied Leaders — Meloni fired back hard at Trump's G7 comments. Spain, Germany, the UK — all pushing back on the Iran war. Four House Republicans crossed the aisle to rebuke Trump's war powers. The hosts break it down without picking a side for you.
• Lebanon & The Iran Nuclear Deal — Israel's continued fighting in Lebanon is threatening to blow up the US-Iran MoU. Talks in Switzerland nearly collapsed. The question the press isn't asking loudly enough: is Israel deliberately torpedoing the deal?
• Claudette Down — John's AI production assistant (Claude/Claudette) went offline Sunday night. The irony of an AI show prep tool going dark the night before the show was not lost on anyone.
• NJ Coyote Problem — John called this 30 years ago. Coyotes are attacking dogs in Bergen County and nobody seems to want to do what needs to be done about it.
• Ugly Privilege Debate — A woman complaining that pretty women face more social media hate than unattractive ones sparked a real conversation about social dynamics, online behavior, and the gym.
• Listener Voicemails — Half Redneck Bob's clearance joke, Half Black Neil on baby Wookiee food, and Bud Vugger closing the show with a beach punchline that landed exactly like you'd expect.

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 one specific example of Black history being erased. Also on 423: Kash Patel blew up a sealed terrorism investigation on Twitter, YouTube is holding £500 hostage from a small creator over a PIN that never arrived, and a Washington State teacher is charged with incest after her estranged husband handed over the texts.

Topics Covered:

• Nikki Glaser Defends Ozempic — Glaser's pro-GLP-1 take on Fallon triggers a real conversation about weight loss drugs.
• JD Vance vs. The View — Vance takes on all six co-hosts on Epstein, immigration, the economy, and race — and makes Whoopi visibly scramble when she can't back up her claims about erased Black history.
• Trump Tweets Read by Kate — The Duchess reads Trump's latest Truth Social posts live on air, including his Paris trip update from Versailles.
• Kash Patel Blows the Investigation — The FBI Director posted details of a sealed drone terrorism plot on Twitter before the suspects were arrested. The Secret Service was blindsided and said so publicly.
• Britain's Rape Gang Inquiry — The report the UK government didn't want published: 250,000 victims, 149 districts, politicians named and shamed, and a new "inquiry" designed specifically to avoid answering the hard questions.
• Amber Swain — Incest Charges — Washington teacher and foster nonprofit director charged after her estranged husband exposed text messages between her and two teenage adopted sons.
• Fiona in the Wild / YouTube Censorship — A small independent creator gets demonetized and loses £500 because YouTube's only verification method is a postal PIN that never arrived. No human to call. No alternative offered.
• Separate Bedrooms for Newlyweds — Is sleeping apart a healthy, modern solution or a slow marriage-killer? John and the Duchess debate it with real personal stories.
• Listener Voicemails & Jokes — Bob, Neil, and Jose call in. Teresa shares a sterile processing hazing story involving an Otis elevator that went exactly where you'd expect.
• Rumble vs. Twitch — John finds out Rumble may be running ads on the show while he's paying to stream there — and decides Twitch is free for a reason.

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 to talk more on the mic. The show rounds out with wild listener voicemails, a round of bad jokes, and some classic gripes about the price of gas, groceries, and American politics.

• Twitch is back: why the show left and returned—plus thoughts on streaming costs
• "Shitty Song of the Week" landslide, and the friendship politics of voting
• The Wawa taco taste test, hot dog tacos, and why corporate food ain't what it used to be
• Breaking news: ICE, sanctuary states, and the fallout from a dramatic local crime
• Death-defying stunts gone wrong, international food comparisons, and listener Q&A

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 got blunt. Happy birthday, Duchess.

From there the show careened through Trump posting military threats against Iran on Truth Social like it's a group text, NYC Knicks riots (win or lose, same result: someone's trashing a Five Guys), Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce secret wedding rumors, a Brazilian woman swallowed by a manhole booby-trapped by metal thieves, and a 22-year-old in New Jersey who showed up to a date with a .357, handcuffs, a hacksaw, a tarp, and lube. Oh, and a South African gang that tortured a British couple, hacked them with a machete, and threw the bodies to crocodiles. Just your average Thursday night in the Bunker.

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 Bunker has thoughts — loud ones.

The LA mayoral runoff is somehow still not called; 47,000 mystery ballots showed up overnight and flipped the race; Spencer Pratt dropped to third, and John is absolutely not surprised. Then the crew gets into an Arizona teen who got blackout drunk, did a front flip off a roof into a pool, ripped his ear off, and is now suing the homeowners. Because of course he is. Plus: Rush is back on tour, Geddy Lee cannot sing anymore, and John fought with his Alexa at 2 a.m. over toilet paper ads. Episode 420 delivers. Happy birthday to Half Black Neil, now legally allowed to drink.

Listener voicemails include dad jokes, a digger joke, a crime-fighter joke, and the answer to why Luke Skywalker's marriages never lasted. Producer Mike fires drops all night. The Duchess holds her ground on the Pacific Railway Act of 1862, and John admits he was wrong — barely. It's messy, it's loud, and it's Boomer Bunker.

In this episode:

• The hosts wrestle with technical difficulties, audio mishaps, and the ever-perilous art of live podcasting
• A fiery breakdown of the Trump vs. Kristen Welker “Meet the Press” interview, including interruptions, media bias, and the nature of evidence
• Juneteenth controversy: from watermelon graphics in school menus to expensive museum salads and awkward corporate apologies
• Culture clashes, claims about racial pride, and a heated debate on who really built America’s infrastructure
• Wild tales of drunken teen parties, personal responsibility, and why suing over your own dumb decisions might not fly with these boomers

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," and John built an AI podcast on Poddi.com in 15 minutes and immediately regretted it. Deuce calls in twice. Voicemails get unhinged. "Money Us" is born.

Topics Covered:

• AM Radio Debate — John claimed his truck had no AM radio. Deuce called in to correct him — it's federally mandated for emergencies. John found it buried in a submenu.
• AI Podcast Experiment (Poddi.com) — John spun up an AI podcast called "The News with Jamingo Bot" in 15 minutes. It picked its own voice (boring British guy), wrote its own script, and published to Spotify. He played the clip. It sounds terrible and you can't give it your own script. Hard pass.
• Microwaved Fish / Detective Pulls Gun — Myrtle Beach detective Michael DiBiase, 46, pulled his service weapon on a coworker who heated fish in the office microwave. Fired, charged with a felony, facing five years. John thinks the gun was too far but understands the impulse.
• Worst Office Microwave Smells — The crew ranks the most offensive break room offenses: fish, Indian curry, burnt popcorn, cabbage, Chinese food, cold tuna at a desk. No consensus. Maximum disagreement.
• Barbell Murder Case (NJ) — Michael Cleese, 67, beat his wife Stacy to death with a barbell in their basement, texted his kids to confess, then drove to a Garden State Parkway rest stop and tried to overdose.
• Dreams and Visiting Deceased Loved Ones — John's youngest daughter dreamed his late father visited her — bald, without his toupee. She didn't know he was bald. John believes the dead show up in dreams.
• Scott Pelley Fired from CBS News — Pelley ambushed new CBS exec producer Nick Bilton in his first all-hands meeting, questioned his qualifications publicly, and refused to meet privately. Bilton fired him in writing the same day for "performative hostility." John loved every second of it.
• Bari Weiss / CBS Media Meltdown — Bari Weiss (ex-NYT, founder of The Free Press) now runs CBS News. The establishment hates her. Jennifer Welsh called new leadership "fascist collaborators." John reads it live and can't stop laughing.
• Stephen Colbert's Late Show Cancellation — CBS killed the Late Show after it lost $40 million a year. John uses it to explain why the whole CBS operation is in chaos and why the old guard is terrified.
• Podcasting Philosophy: Who's Right vs. Boomer Bunker — After appearing on the Who's Right after show, John explains that podcast success is different for everyone.
• Wobbly / Twitch Censorship — Wobbly got kicked off Twitch for a movie clip with mild nudity while actual softcore content ran freely on the platform.
• "Money Us" Segment — The show officially names its support ask "Money Us" — a two-second decision that stuck. Hit boomerbunker.com/support.
• Spotify Listener Comments — While messing with AI tools, John found years of unapproved Spotify comments and read a few live.
• Trump Tweet Read by Kate — Trump's tweet about Democrats stealing the California vote and the Save America Act.
• Listener Voicemails and Jokes — Deuce calls in twice in 30 minutes. Budvugger, Dean, and Half Black Meal send voicemails with jokes that escalate quickly. Nobody comes out clean.
• John's Daughter's Engagement Party — Weekend plans: engagement party, sister in town from out of state. John briefly considers having her on the show Monday

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 was, as John put it, fantastic.

From there, the crew covers the LA mayoral race heating up, Spencer Pratt shutting down a reporter trying to hang Trump around his neck, Gavin Newsom's very creepy "break the glass" comment about Democrats being locked out of California, a Maine Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo and a Kik sexting account, a Fitbit named "Bomb" that turned a plane around mid-Atlantic, a Pennsylvania man who settled his divorce with an excavator, and listener voicemails that get progressively more unhinged as the night goes on. Oh, and Trump tweets read by Kate. Sparky approved.

Topics Covered:

• Pride Month Opener — John welcomes everyone to Gay Pride Month with all the enthusiasm of a man who's used to it. The Eagles put out a Pride logo, the Steelers and Cowboys didn't, and the hosts agree that nobody should be telling teams how to celebrate anything.
• The Podcasting Civil War: HLS vs. RSS — Apple Podcasts is switching to HLS video format, and the podcasting world is apparently taking sides. John breaks down what it means for the future of audio-first shows and whether RSS is the new AM radio.
• Daughter Crowd Surfing + Old Tech Nostalgia — John's youngest daughter got passed around at a concert, which somehow leads to a 10-minute conversation about cassette tapes, VCRs, Blockbuster cards, and the drawer of mystery cables everyone has that they refuse to throw out.
• "Adios Airlines" — The Spirit Airlines Deportation Pitch — A friend pitched John a plan: buy the defunct Spirit Airlines fleet and rebrand it for deportation flights. John thought it was brilliant.
• Delaney Hall ICE Detention Center, Newark — The big one. Governor Mikie Sherrill spent days stoking protests outside the federal ICE facility, then held a press conference asking the crowd she riled up to "bring the temperature down." John and the Duchess tear apart the activist talking points about "concentration camps" and "torture," call out Senator Andy Kim for getting crop-dusted by pepper spray, and wonder where Spartacus (Cory Booker) has been hiding. The NJ State Police eventually swept in at 9pm and cleared the whole thing out.
• Out-of-State Agitators at Delaney Hall — Five of the six people arrested by state police were from outside New Jersey, with one coming from Portland, Oregon. The hosts discuss how this is organized, paid activism — not grassroots outrage.
• Antifa vs. Proud Boys / America First — The Proud Boys and America First Republicans showed up to counter-protest. Antifa made noise until the police arrived, then scattered. Mike Crispy from America First Republicans delivered a field report. Hasan Piker got chased out by counter-protesters.
• ICE Agent Threatened, Arrested via Facial Recognition — One protester photographed an ICE agent whose mask slipped and made explicit threats against the agent's wife and children. Facial recognition ID'd him. He was arrested and is now facing felony charges.
• Republican Assemblywoman Dawn Fan Calls Out Sherrill — Fan pulled her car over to go live on video, calling out the governor for being an "arsonist complaining about the fire she started" and slamming the unconstitutional law Sherrill signed banning ICE agents from wearing masks.
• Cam Higby Gets Robbed, 911 Hangs Up — Conservative journalist Cam Higby had his phone and camera stolen by protesters. He called 911. They hung up on him. John observes that the safest place in Newark during the riot was at the riot — more cops per square foot than anywhere else in the city.
• Spencer Pratt Running for LA Mayor — Reality TV's Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles and handled a Bill Maher interview better than most politicians. When pressed repeatedly on Trump, he refused to take the bait and kept redirecting to the city's actual problems. John was impressed.
• Gavin Newsom's "Break the Glass" Warning — With two Republicans potentially making the runoff in the California governor's race, Newsom hinted at unnamed contingency plans if Democrats get locked out. Meanwhile, ballot boxes in LA are being set on fire. Newsom's not worried.
• Maine Senate Race: Graham Platner's Sexting Scandal + Nazi Tattoo — Democratic candidate Graham Platner is running against Susan Collins with a covered-up Totenkopf (SS death's head) tattoo and an active Kik account where he was hooking up with up to six women since his 2023 wedding — a story his own wife tipped off to his campaign. He's still leading in the polls.
• Fitbit Named "Bomb" Turns Plane Around Mid-Atlantic — A flight to Spain was turned back to Newark after a Bluetooth scan picked up a device labeled "Bomb." The culprit: a 16-year-old's Fitbit. The FBI is now investigating. John says he would have beaten his kid in the airport.
• Pennsylvania Man Tears House Down with Excavator — A 48-year-old Butler County man came home drunk, got into a fight with his wife, and responded to "I'm leaving you" by getting into a Kubota excavator and destroying the back of the house. It's now condemned.
• AI and the Elevator Business — Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak on the No Agenda Show said elevator mechanics are one of the best AI-proof careers. John, a former elevator mechanic, confirms it — but also warns it'll grind you up.
• Trump Tweet Read by Kate: Iran Deal — Trump tweets that Iran really wants a deal and that political hacks need to stop chirping from the sidelines. Kate delivers the reading. Sparky approved, Jerry did not.
• Listener Voicemails & Jokes — Redneck Bob tells the Bobby Sue truck joke. Bud Vugger goes dark with a paraplegic strip club joke. Half Wetback Jose delivers an elephant zoo classic. Half Black Neil checks in with a Luke Skywalker bit that's the tamest thing all night.
• Leaving Twitch — The Bunker is done with Twitch. Plan: update the bio with where to find them, leave it for a few months, then delete the channel.
• Discord Pride Artwork — Listener Bob generated AI artwork of John decked out in Eagles Pride gear. The Duchess was horrified that Bob dressed her in Eagles gear.

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. Spoiler: he doesn't.

The back half of the show gets into the Delaney Hall ICE detention protests in New Jersey, Democrat senators showing up on Memorial Day, protest signs fresh off a printing plant, Antifa chants rhyming their way into history, and Trump calling it "a very nice facility." Also on the docket: the DOJ's new criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll for alleged perjury, her pre-trial costume strategy explained in her own words, and the moment that sent Anderson Cooper straight to commercial. We wrap it up with a spicy listener voicemail from Daniel in Arizona, who calls out Boomers vs Gen Z work ethic — and gets absolutely destroyed in the chat for it.

Topics Covered:

• John's pickleball debut, the "Dirty Old Men" league, and why it's the new racquetball
• Racquetball nostalgia and a throat hit he'll never forget
• Celebrity divorce money: Bezos, Gisele, Harrison Ford, and who really earned it
• Jeff Bezos defending Washington Post layoffs — and why he's right
• The "why does Elon need that much money" debate settled once and for all
• Delaney Hall ICE detention protests — senators, Antifa signs, and pepper balls
• Trump at the cabinet meeting calling it "a very nice facility."
• Mark Wayne Mullin's idea that made politicians nervous
• DOJ criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll for perjury
• Carroll's trial costume strategy and the Anderson Cooper moment
• "The Pit" — John finished it, gives his verdict
• Listener voicemail: Daniel from Arizona on Gen Z and work being "toxic."
• The chat absolutely buries Daniel
• Last Twitch episode announcement — moving to YouTube and Rumble June 1st
• Voicemails, jokes, and the Duke of Drops flies solo-less tonight

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 allowed to defend itself from Iran. Also: Spencer Pratt running for LA Mayor with a power washer and more common sense than anyone currently holding office.

Somewhere between the Iran logic traps and the Jackson Dart fake jersey record, the show also finds time for the "Jimmy tried to return stale pretzels to a 10-year-old story." George Floyd's six-year sobriety joke. Would you eat black chicken meat? Voicemail jokes from Budvugger, Dean, and Jose that absolutely cannot be told at work.

Topics Covered:

• Duchess's 5-Mile Race — The Duchess ran a charity road race with 10,000 participants, a $55 entry fee, and a participation medal proudly stored in a binder with race bibs.
• The Liberal Teacher / Iran Logic Trap Clip — A video of a street interviewer trapping a self-described kindergarten teacher who can't bring herself to say America has the right to defend itself from Iran.
• George Floyd is Six Years Sober — John marks the anniversary of George Floyd being six years sober.
• All-Black Chicken Video — A brief clip of an Ayam Cemani chicken — entirely black, including its meat — leads to a digression on food curiosities.
• Female NASCAR Driver Crying Mid-Race (Biological Broads Segment) — A female NASCAR driver quit mid-race after getting penalized twice. John plays multiple clips, including commentary from "WFOD Podcast, " which delivers the show's thesis statement unprompted. The Duchess, as a woman, argues that any female athlete competing with men had better bring the mentality to match — no crying in the cockpit.
• Planet Fitness / Trans Locker Room Incident — A woman named Judy Walcott had her Planet Fitness membership of 10+ years canceled after complaining about a biological male in the women's locker room. John and the Duchess — an actual Planet Fitness member — break down why this is a safety issue, not a political one.
• TikToker "Lexi" in the Women's Bathroom — A viral TikTok of a biological male demanding access to women's restrooms gets played and dissected. John calls it autogynephilia and the Duchess describes the very real fear she'd feel encountering a man exiting a stall.
• Gen Z "Soft Living" / Mini Retirements — John rips into the trend of Gen Z workers quitting demanding jobs to become baristas and "prioritize their peace." The featured story: 22-year-old Ellie Kate quits a 12-hour-a-day recruitment business for a 4:30 am coffee shop shift because "she just wasn't enjoying life." John and the Duchess compare this to childhoods spent carrying shingles up roofs and babysitting at age 10.
• Jackson Dart / NFL Fake Jersey Record — The NFL Drops Twitter account — a satire account — posted that Giants QB Jackson Dart broke the 24-hour jersey sales record. John and the Duchess read it live, then discover it's completely fictional. Discussion of fake news spreading on social media and how easy it is to get fooled.
• Jackson Dart Introducing Trump at a Giants Game — The actual story: Giants rookie QB Jackson Dart introduced President Trump at a game, drawing liberal backlash. Abdul Carter later put out a tweet squashing the drama. Leads into a discussion of NFL politics, Colin Kaepernick, Michael Vick, and the Cowboys vs. Giants debate.
• Spencer Pratt Running for LA Mayor — Reality TV personality Spencer Pratt is running for Los Angeles Mayor and making headlines for power-washing sidewalks and proposing a common-sense homeless policy: help those who want help, jail the criminals, ship the rest to Seattle. John calls it the most logical thing he's heard from a politician.
• California Gas Prices — Listener Tina calls in to report paying $6.18 a gallon to fill her Subaru Crosstrek in California. Sparks a discussion about price gouging and Karen Bass's terrible handling of the LA homelessness and infrastructure crisis.
• Washington, D.C. Cleanup Under Trump — John credits Trump with visibly improving Washington, D.C., noting that the fountains are working and the streets are walkable again, contrasting this with Obama-era spending that produced no results.
• Voicemails & Listener Jokes
