Boomer Bunker

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...

California gave $189 million in taxpayer-funded tablets to death row inmates — and apparently nobody thought that might go badly. Episode 414 of the Boomer Bunker is a full assault on your common sense, starting with Gavin Newsom handing a $20 million diaper contract to a nonprofit co-run by his own wife, wrapping through Spencer Pratt's mayoral campaign ads driving Karen Bass absolutely insane, and landing on a 21-year-old British woman whose legs are literally bent the wrong direction — a story that generated both genuine sympathy and the episode title, care of the chat.John and the Duchess break down the week...

AI is coming for your grandma—or at least her kitchen table—and we’re not talking about a cute digital picture frame. In this episode, Boomer Bunker rips into New York’s taxpayer-funded deployment of “Elliq,” an AI companion lamp that’s supposed to keep the elderly company (and maybe quietly rob their will to live). John Jamingo and Duchess ask the real questions: Is a robot really better than a call from your ungrateful kids? And how long before some hacker turns the thing into a scammer's wet dream? If you thought giving Amazon your voice print for convenienc...

Nothing screams “Boomer Bunker” like opening with frozen tomato sauce suppositories and finishing with a full-throttle evisceration of California politics, and that's not even the weirdest part. This episode, "Pizza Roll Pez Dispenser," is a buffet of unfiltered takes, from John Jamingo eating a day-old Whopper just to get fan engagement, to giving the Kentucky Derby its due shade, to melting down over LA's burning homes and the parade of grifters cashing in on Medicare fraud in Ohio. If you thought your Monday was wild, wait ‘til you see Duchess ask why anyone wants to fake a period by shovin...

What kind of man stares death in the face and takes a bite? A Whopper of a man — literally. In this unfiltered episode of Boomer Bunker, titled “Jamingo: Whopper of a Man,” John Jamingo rants and raves while gleefully eating a 24-hour-old Burger King Whopper he left festering in his truck. Nutritionists would have a stroke, and even Duchess can barely keep her disgust under wraps as the studio is taken on a culinary journey straight through the valley of food poisoning. Who needs fresh food when you have pure preservatives and a disregard for common sense?But th...

John Jamingo and Duchess come out swinging after the White House Correspondents Dinner debacle and the latest attempt to take out President Trump, holding nothing back over the endless stream of leftist hypocrisy, “violent” rhetoric, and media gaslighting. Caroline Levitt gets more real at a podium than any Fox News anchor, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (81 years old and still raging) out-Boomers the Boomers, and Jimmy Kimmel catches well-deserved flak for “jokes” about Melania that make even the Duchess cringe.Oh, and it wouldn’t be Boomer Bunker without a parade of internet psychos wishing for Trump’s assassinatio...

We're a day early and completely off the rails. Episode 408 opens with Duchess on a Meals on Wheels ride-along that gets unexpectedly heavy — and closes with a man who lost everything below his belly button and still found something worth living for. In between: an indicted civil rights organization, a fake MAGA influencer built by a guy in India, a DHS official whose sugar daddy went scorched earth, and whatever is still happening in the Strait of Hormuz. It's a full show.Segments:Meals on Wheels & The Reality of Lonely Seniors — Duchess did a ride-along and didn...
