Boomer Bunker

John, the Duchess, and Producer Mike return for another live-recorded session in the Bunker — and Episode 396 earns its title the hard way. Between a deep dive into overloaded coffee drinks and a running gag about caramel macchiatos, the crew covers a full slate of stories that range from baffling to chilling: viral pizza politics, RFK Jr.'s war on Big Coffee, Iranian drone threats, a police officer accused of exploiting a handcuffed woman, two separate acts of domestic terrorism, and Jill Biden finally telling her side of the 2024 story. It's a long one — and worth every minute.

John and the Duchess are back for another unfiltered Monday night at the Boomer Bunker, and deliver everything regular listeners have come to expect: sharp commentary, zero filter, and the kind of news coverage that mainstream outlets are too polished — or too cowardly — to touch. From a self-inflicted horror story on a downtown LA sidewalk, to Bill Maher catching a sitting U.S. Senator flat-footed on live television, to ISIS sympathizers throwing homemade bombs outside the New York City Mayor's home, this episode covers the week's most jaw-dropping stories. Producer Mike lurks in the background, the Discord is popping, and the Strait of Hormuz somehow ends up sounding like a Hormel chili can.

John and the Duchess couldn't let the week end without getting into it one more time. With producer Mike watching from the chat and the audience tuned in live, this bonus bunker episode tackles four stories that the mainstream media won't touch the way they deserve — with unfiltered commentary, real audio from the House floor, and zero patience for hypocrisy.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) filed a privileged resolution directing the House Ethics Committee to preserve and publicly release all records related to congressional investigations into sexual harassment, unwanted sexual advances, and sexual assault — with victim identities protected and a 60-day release window.

You would think it would pass unanimously. It did not.

The vote was 357 against, 65 in favor. Nearly all Democrats (182) and nearly all Republicans (175) voted to kill it.

What the hosts unpacked is the machinery behind the vote: Congress operates a taxpayer-funded slush fund that has paid out an estimated $17 million to settle sexual harassment complaints. Victims are required to sign NDAs before they can even file formal charges — meaning there is no public record, no accountability, and no consequence for the offending member.

In a clip from Lindell TV, Rep. Mace was asked about the status of her motion to subpoena Ilhan Omar's immigration records — including records related to her alleged brother marriage. Mace's response was characteristically blunt: Republicans killed her motion. The process was referred to the Ethics Committee, where, as she put it, nothing ever happens and nothing ever will.

A husband and wife walked into a Smoothie King location in Michigan. He was wearing a Trump hoodie. Two employees refused to serve them, citing personal discomfort with his clothing. The wife recorded the encounter on her phone.

The video went viral. The employees — one of whom later claimed she was a minor and objected to being filmed — were terminated by Smoothie King corporate as of that Monday.

A viral TikTok account, @TheUnobsolete, blew up this week when a woman shared her story of being passed over for a promotion she had spent years earning — only to be asked to train the 25-year-old fresh grad who got the role instead.

Her answer was simply: no.

When HR sent an email about being a "team player," she responded that she was happy to share her expertise — at consulting rates, triple her salary. When they called it unprofessional, she reminded them that the team hadn't supported her when she asked why she was passed over. Silence.

When they eventually called her in to let her go with a two-week severance offer, she slid it back across the table and demanded six months of pay plus full benefits through the year's end — or she'd call an employment attorney. By the end of the day, she had everything she asked for. Six months later, her replacement quit.

The episode also featured John reading two scorched-earth tweets from Laverne Spicer, a Black conservative Florida congressional candidate and founder of Curly's House Food Bank — one aimed at Jasmine Crockett after Crockett's Senate primary loss, and another directed at Michelle Obama. The audience was split on whether it would become a regular segment.

Kate delivered the week's Trump Tweet, which called for Iran's unconditional surrender before any deal — and signed off with "MIGA: Make Iran Great Again."

Recorded Live | Thursday March 5th 2026 6:30 PM EST

Both John and Duchess are feisty tonight, and that set the tone for the entire episode.

AI Deepfakes & OnlyFans Scams The show kicks off with the increasingly creepy world of AI girlfriends. John breaks down how men are using AI filters to pose as women on OnlyFans, collecting money from subscribers who have no idea they're paying a guy. It's the ultimate catfish — and apparently it's everywhere.

The Podcasting Wars: Video vs. Audio-Only John goes on a proper soapbox about what makes something a "real podcast." His position: if it doesn't have an RSS feed, it's a show, not a podcast. He breaks down why the Bunker streams on three video platforms AND distributes as audio, and why platform dependency is a danger for any creator.

Kristi Noem Reassigned — "The Secretary of Hair Extensions" Is Out Kristi Noem is being moved out of DHS and reassigned as Special Envoy for the Shield of Americas. John and Duchess debate whether she did a good job. The chat has opinions.

Britney Spears DUI Britney Spears was pulled over and taken away in handcuffs. Charges were still unclear at air time, but the story was already going everywhere. John and Duchess weigh in.

Trump Tweet (Read by Kate): Markwayne Mullin is the New DHS Secretary Kate reads the Trump Truth Social post announcing Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma as the incoming DHS Secretary effective March 31st, 2026. John and Duchess had no idea Mullin was a Native American and an undefeated professional MMA fighter.

ICE Shooting Debate: The Renee Goode Incident This one ran long and got loud. John and Duchess go head-to-head over the ICE shooting involving Renee Goode — a woman who drove at an ICE officer and was shot and killed. John argues the video evidence is conclusive. Duchess argues she wants a full investigation regardless. Nobody agreed. Nobody backed down.

The Daniel Penny Perm Theory A listener in the chat drops the hot take that Daniel Penny only went to jail because the subway victim had a perm.

California Math Teacher's Fat-Shaming Quiz Tom Chan, a 20-year veteran teacher at Lowell High School in San Francisco, is in hot water after putting questions on a quiz referencing "fat kid candy" and "sexy points for girls who weigh less." John is delighted. Duchess is less so.

The Attractiveness Rating Debate The back half of the show turns into a real conversation about attractiveness ratings, personality vs. looks, and whether a charming personality can move the needle on a 1-10 scale. John says no more than 0.5. Duchess disagrees. The chat has takes.

Voicemails Dr. Mrs. Jose makes her Boomer Bunker debut with a joke. Half Black Neil, Dean, Buddvugger, and half wet back Jose also checks in.

"The King of Custard" Recorded Live Monday 3/2/26 6:30 PM EST

John and Duchess are back in the Bunker for episode 393, and as usual, the news cycle did not disappoint.

Jelzborf7 – Alien Reporter from Planet Koark A TikToker going by Jelzborf7 has gone viral, claiming to be a 742-year-old alien currently living in New England inside the body of a 34-year-old millennial woman. She says she's from planet Koark and has been dispatched to observe and report on humanity during this "time of great change." John and Duchess debate whether this is clever content creation or if people are genuinely believing it.

US & Israel Strike Iran The United States and Israel conducted military strikes against Iran, sending Democrats and mainstream media into a frenzy over the legality of the operation. John pushes back, walking through the numerous times Bill Clinton and Barack Obama authorized military force without congressional approval — and the silence that followed.

The Great Custard Debate. Things took a sharp left turn when the topic of soft serve ice cream vs. custard came up. What started as a passing comment turned into a full philosophical debate. John emerges victorious and crowns himself the King of Custard.

Voicemails: The regulars checked in: Buddvugger, Dean, Half Black Neil, and Half Wet Back Jose all left their marks on episode 393.

This episode kicks off in true Boomer Bunker fashion — chaotic, unfiltered, and with the Duchess suspiciously giggly after surviving one of the biggest snowstorms the area has seen in years. John and the Duchess trade stories from the nor'easter that dumped 18–25 inches across New Jersey, including a 3 AM power outage at John's daughter's house, a run to the only open Wawa in sight, and a masterclass in lighting a gas stove without electric ignition.

From snow survival, the conversation rolls into a full-on rant about New Jersey's plastic bag ban. John shares a viral clip of a woman who perfectly captures the absurdity of needing a reusable bag for a quick milk run, and he ties it into a broader frustration with performative legislation — including the state's ban on unsolicited plastic utensils with takeout orders.

That leads to a deep dive into former Governor Phil Murphy's COVID-era crackdowns, including the story of a NJ gym owner who defied lockdown orders, took precautions of his own, and was hit with 80+ summonses and $10,000-a-day fines — all of which were ultimately dismissed.

The political commentary continues with a look at California Governor Gavin Newsom's cringeworthy appearance before a Black audience in Georgia, where he bragged about his low SAT score to relate — prompting swift backlash from Nicki Minaj and others. The crew also calls out NYC Mayor Mamdani for requiring multiple forms of ID for emergency snow shovelers while opposing voter ID laws.

The episode wraps with a nostalgic detour about kids hustling snow shoveling gigs in the neighborhood, and closes on a wild true-crime story: a North Carolina mother of three who disappeared in 2001 — and was just found alive, 24 years later.

John Jamingo and Duchess return with their trademark mix of irreverence and realness. The hosts unpack everything from fairground corn dogs and CPR training to an in-depth (and sometimes personal) critique of American education and public policy. They dig into recent news surrounding indecent exposure laws, a viral story about a student with a 0.13 GPA, and the politics of the SAVE Act and voter ID laws. The second half of the episode tackles controversies over transgender rights, women's spaces, and the complexities of modern political discourse. The episode wraps up with listener voicemails, jokes, and reminders to join the live show or community.

1. Why an offhand corn dog comment led to Duchess becoming the show’s meme muse
2. The failure of public education in Baltimore, as told through a viral GPA scandal
3. The uproar and public confusion around indecent exposure laws
4. A heated discussion about the SAVE Act, voter ID requirements, and Electoral integrity

On this episode of The Boomer Bunker, John Jamingo, broadcasting live and possibly confused about the day, welcomes Duchess back from her Florida adventures. We learn that Duchess experienced the wild, exotic world of the Florida State Fair, where she bravely tried her very first corn dog (mustard, not ketchup, she’s not a monster) and somehow survived the donut-induced sugar attacks. She also witnessed motorcycles defying gravity in the “Wall of Death” and flexed her fishing prowess by catching five-inch catfish, proving she’s basically Florida Man in disguise.

Meanwhile, major breakthroughs occur as Duchess confirms there are apparently local bakeries and even the Amish making superior donuts, while John remains passionate about the one true donut prophet, Krispy Kreme. The episode detours through childhood wall-painting incidents (featuring a little Picasso with a dirty diaper), the existential crisis of carpet stains, and the never-ending saga of cats waging chemical warfare on furniture.

Relationships? Oh, don’t worry, the gang covers that too. John rants about millennials, “hub sons,” and why you apparently need a bell curve to find a decent man. They dissect whether women actually want “nice guys” or just liars with a penchant for emotional destruction, spoiler: it’s complicated, crazy is apparently in, and everyone wants to paint their damn living room a new color every five years.

You also get lessons in romance from TikTok “dating experts” with lists longer than CVS receipts, wedding rants from bridezillas carrying battle swords, and a heartfelt quest to get Cody a date. Awkward voicemails about racism, the Holocaust, octopus offspring, and masturbation metaphors round things out. It’s crass, it’s chaotic, and yes, there’s even time for a heartfelt plug of the Boomer Bunker Dating App: “Plenty of Wookies.”
