Boomer Bunker

A 49-year-old Brazilian bricklayer sold everything he owned and rode a bus 1,200 miles to marry Farm Girl Jessica, who isn't real. On Boomer Bunker 458, John and the Duchess get into AI romance scams, AI "comedians" stealing real comics' bits, New Jersey's governor worrying about the soldiers on the Fort Hood shooter's firing squad, Elissa Slotkin's "deterrence message," and the Dancing with the S...

Shane Gillis went on SNL, said women at the gym dress like whores, and the internet hasn't shut up since. John plays the backlash clip by clip: a TikToker who ties the joke to the Cornell 7, a former Chicago stand-up explaining why it "isn't a joke," a guy calling it a litmus test for men, and a woman who takes the fight to the men at the gym. Then there's a Jeff Dye bit from 2008 that had women c...

Vote for Duchess Shane Gillis goes on Saturday Night Live and says women at the gym dress like whores now, and Dan Levy calls it misogyny. Then a man drops 12 feet into a tiger enclosure in England, federal agents search Ilhan Omar's D.C. home with no charges filed, John pays $107 to fill his truck, and the Eagles lose in England with 8 seconds and one kickoff call to go. Should gyms have a dress...

John Jamingo turned 65, got his Medicare card, and spent his birthday insisting he watched the Concorde land in Philly during Live Aid. It never happened, not once, ever. The chat named it the Nutella Effect, and it stuck. Happy birthday, old man. Then it got loud. A woman went viral claiming any guy who ghosts you after sex is a rapist, and the Duchess took her apart piece by piece. You regret it...

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. John and Duchess read the receipts, then hit a Russian plague scare, Philly City Council boycotting Starbucks instead of fixing anything, a Dutch teen's approved death, and New York trying to turn moms into "gestating parents." Plus: Duches...

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 flydu...

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 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...

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 lat...

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 app...

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 t...

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 w...

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 cas...

Got a voicemail as unhinged as Bud Vugger's comeback? Leave your own: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemessage Episode Art Provided by Boomer Bob 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...

Somebody started a hoax online claiming Texas Roadhouse servers were spitting in Black customers' food - no evidence, no proof, just a made-up post that blew up into a full-blown boycott before Texas Roadhouse's own investigation called it 100% fake. John and Kate break down how quickly a total fabrication turns into a movement when nobody bothers to check whether it's true, and it's not the only...

Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemail We open this one heavy — Dolly Parton is gone, and John and the Duchess spend real time on what she actually built, not just what she wore: the Imagination Library, the Dollywood empire, and the fact that she stayed out of politics for 50 years and somehow ended up beloved by everybody anyway. President Trump ordered fl...

The Boomer Bunker kicks off with the Duchess fresh off seeing Rush live — no Neil Peart, a new female drummer named Anika, a still-got-it (mostly) Geddy Lee, and a $100+ concession bill for two baskets of chicken tenders and a couple of drinks. From there, John and the Duchess tear into the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, roasting the wave of "wine mom" true-crime detectives on TikTok who've decided...

Harvard is paying $53 million after its own morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, got caught running a black-market body parts ring out of Harvard Medical School for years — heads, faces, skin, hands, stolen from donated cadavers and sold to buyers in three states. One buyer wanted skin tanned into a book. John and the Duchess dig into how an elite institution either missed or ignored a five-year operatio...

Got something to say? Leave us a voicemail: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemail Episode Art Provided by Producer Cody Ryan Seacrest and iHeartRadio are hunting for the next "Top Host" — so the Duchess actually signed up, and John made her earn it live on air. He built a 10-show bracket out of real podcasts hosted by real friends of the show and made her crown a champion in real time, no do-overs, n...

John is making a stand with Lorenzo of the Church of Lorenzo Podcast ! Spotify is torturing Lorenzo with copyright violations. And Spotify flagged four Boomer Bunker episodes to be pulled from Spotify. John Jamingo named it "Deletify," launched a hashtag, and is weighing whether to walk away from the platform entirely. Also this episode: Friend of the show Daniel messaged John on how he tested Chi...

John's iced tea got fingered. Literally. A trip to his regular Dunkin' Donuts turned into a full-blown sanitation crisis this episode when the Boomer Bunker crew found out the woman making John's order stuck her middle finger straight into his cup before filling it — earning her a new nickname on the show that's now the episode title. It's the kind of story you can't make up, and it kicks off an e...

Leave a Voicemail Tucker Carlson and MTG are floating a new party and claiming a 10-point platform that flat-out doesn't exist yet — John and Duchess aren't letting that slide, and neither should you. This episode doesn't pull punches: a Fort Dix prison guard sleeping with an inmate, a Comcast manager literally smashing pies in employees' faces as punishment, and a WNBA trans-athlete fight so upsi...

Leave a Voicemail Episode Art Provided by Boomer Bob RFK Jr. went twenty-one rounds with CNN's Dana Bash over COVID, Fauci, and the measles outbreak — and on tonight's Boomer Bunker, John says Bash looked like "a deer in the headlights" by the end of it. Then Sophie Cunningham takes an elbow straight to the face defending her stance that the WNBA should stay biological women only — and somehow SHE...

Leave a Voicemail The Duchess is back behind the microphone after a week in Michigan, and they waste no time getting into it. Starting with a genuinely wild story about her hotel room getting interrupted by sheriff's deputies investigating a hit-and-run next door. From there, John and the Duchess spend a solid chunk of the show on the internet's newest self-inflicted political circus: 19-year-old...

Leave a Voicemail This couldn't wait until tomorrow night! John does an out of the ordinary bonus episode. Anthony Fauci sat in front of the Senate today and pled the Fifth over a hundred times — despite having a full, unconditional pardon from Joe Biden covering everything he did going back to 2014. John's take: only a guilty man pleads the Fifth that many times, and this hearing laid the case ou...
