    Money Us | 419

    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.

    Boomer Pride | 418

    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 W*****k 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.

    MVP of Life | 417

    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 racquetballRacquetball nostalgia and a throat hit he'll never forgetCelebrity divorce money: Bezos, Gisele, Harrison Ford, and who really earned itJeff Bezos defending Washington Post layoffs — and why he's rightThe "why does Elon need that much money" debate settled once and for allDelaney Hall ICE detention protests — senators, Antifa signs, and pepper ballsTrump at the cabinet meeting calling it "a very nice facility."Mark Wayne Mullin's idea that made politicians nervousDOJ criminal investigation into E.

    Biological Broads | 416

    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 Website: https://boomerbunker.com Discord: https://boomerbunker.com/discord Support the Show: https://boomerbunker.com/support Send a Voice Message: https://boomerbunker.com/voicemessage Text or Leave a Voice Message: (856) 477-1935

    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 episode to make you question if the world lost its mind or if you just need to drink more. Tag your race fan cousin, your libertarian aunt, or that buddy who loves a dead baby joke; this one’s festively chaotic.

    Boomer Bunker 500 | 414

    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 comes when the show rips into Trump’s Twitter beef with Thomas Massie, the boner-phone sexcapades involving Lauren Boebert, and the lowlights of NASCAR’s not-so-finest moments. Including live, on-air crying and women drivers mistakenly following the pace car right into the pits (yes, really). From mean roasts and George Floyd jokes to Pizza Hut nostalgia and O.J. Simpson hot takes, this is unfiltered, unapologetic Boomer Bunker Trump went nuclear on Thomas Massie all weekend, calling him the worst congressman in the history of the Republican Party — not once, but in multiple unhinged tweets — and then Laura Loomer dropped a bomb that made all of it look tame: Massie allegedly slept with Lauren Boebert within weeks of his wife's death, bragged about it, and kept a secret "boner phone" he threatened to throw in the river. Trump's still tweeting from the Oval Office like a man possessed. From there, it only gets more chaotic. The Kevin Hart Netflix roast, Tony Hinchcliffe's George Floyd joke, a BLM rep who apparently laughed at it on camera, NASCAR driver Natalie Decker crying on the radio mid-race, and then quitting, and a viral video of drivers' wives following the pace car directly into the pits. The boys also pour one out for Mark Fuhrman, which somehow turns into a 20-minute OJ Simpson deep dive that goes exactly as unhinged as you'd hope. Plus: Pizza Hut is going back to the 80s, listener voicemails. This is the Boomer Bunker Podcast. No filter, no guardrails, no idea where this is going next. Topics Covered: Trump Tweets Read by Kate — The fan-favorite segment returns with multiple Trump posts going scorched-earth on Thomas Massie, calling him "the worst congressman in history," a "weak and pathetic RINO," and demanding Kentucky voters "wipe away the stench." Kate reads them cold. The chat decides her fate.Thomas Massie Primary & the Boebert Bombshell — Trump and J.D. Vance are both campaigning against Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie ahead of his primary. Then Laura Loomer interviews Massie's ex-girlfriend Cynthia West, who claims Massie slept with Lauren Boebert weeks after his wife's death, bragged about it, kept a secret second phone he called his "boner phone," and threatened to throw it in the river. None of it is independently verified. All of it is discussed at length.Kevin Hart Netflix Roast Breakdown: Tony Hinchcliffe's George Floyd "looking up and can't breathe" joke goes under the microscope. A BLM rep went to the press, apparently while laughing.Mark Fuhrman Dead at 74 / OJ Simpson Trial Deep Dive: Former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman died of throat cancer in Idaho. That leads directly into a full-on OJ retrospective: where John and Duchess were when the verdict was read, Robert Kardashian's face, the Dream Team lawyers, the glove, the Bronco chase, the jury, CTE speculation, the "If I Did It" book, and how OJ is responsible for the Kardashians.NASCAR: Natalie Decker Melts Down: Decker picked up two penalties at the Dover All-Star race weekend, then broke down crying on the radio, announced she wasn't coming back to the Truck Series, and parked the car. John compares her unfavorably to Danica Patrick — who crashed into everything and never cried — and argues this is bad for women in motorsports.Wives Follow the Pace Car Into the Pits: A viral video of NASCAR drivers' wives and moms following the pace car off the track at the start of a race is dissected blow by blow. Duchess admits she would have done the exact same thing. A custom AI art piece is commissioned. The phrase "wine box derby" is introduced.Pizza Hut Going Retro: A Pizza Hut franchise with 100 locations is converting 80 of them back to the classic 80s setup: red checkered tablecloths, big red cups, salad bars, Tiffany-style lights, and Pac-Man machines. John is genuinely excited. Duchess is not opposed. No New Jersey locations.TV Talk: Dutton Ranch, ER Shows & Hypochondria: John has been binge-watching an ER drama set in Pittsburgh and now thinks he has tuberculosis. He also pushes hard for the new Yellowstone spin-off "Dutton Ranch" starring Rip, Beth, and Annette Benning, and wants desperately to find someone, anyone, to start a reaction podcast with.Listener Voicemails & Jokes — Bud Vugger delivers a Holocaust joke, Deep Voice Guy calls in with a blind man punchline, Half Black Neil solves the Luke Skywalker one-arm bandit riddle, and Jose calls from vacation to report a coffee shop incident involving a large order and a well-endowed barista.Dale Earnhardt Jr. and "Bless Your Heart" Podcast — John admits he was wrong: a husband-and-wife podcast CAN be good.

    Best Foot Forward | 414

    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's political circus with their usual mix of actual outrage and barely-contained laughter. Kate reads a Trump Truth Social post about President Xi calling the U.S. a "declining nation," along with Trump's ten-paragraph, no-punctuation rebuttal. John walks through how Democrats spent years screaming about fighting in the streets — and are now horrified that Spencer Pratt is using video imagery in his campaign. And somewhere in between all that, a Seattle special education teacher accused of bruising an autistic third grader was elected union president with 58% of the vote. America. Topics Covered: John's Co-Host History — John recaps his revolving door of co-hosts across multiple shows, including the legendary Rubberneckers run through seven co-hosts, the saga of getting Deuce back after a four-year falling out, and why Deuce, Kate, and Jodie are the only co-hosts who've been able to handle his chaotic production style.Guest Spot on the Podcast Morning Show — John appeared on a podcast with Ralph, Mark, and crew out of North Carolina to talk about co-hosting dynamics. Noted: they were clean-language broadcasters. Who knew John could work clean? https://www.youtube.com/@podcastingmorningshow https://www.podcastingmorningshow.com/Podcast-Co-Host-Relationship/ Trump Tweet of the Night, Read by Kate — Kate reads a sprawling Trump Truth Social post responding to President Xi's "declining nation" comment, in which Trump credits his "16 spectacular months" for all-time stock markets, military decimation of Iran, and the strongest economy ever. Kate stumbles on the run-on sentences. The chat is not forgiving.Trump in China — John and Kate dissect Trump's visit with Xi Jinping, including the head-nodding summit footage, China's enthusiastic airport reception, and the mutual ego-stroking dynamic between two leaders who absolutely need each other no matter what either of them claims publicly.Putin/Ukraine Peace Call Falls Apart — Trump tweets that he just had a wonderful call with Putin and peace is imminent — then Melania informs him Russia just bombed more of Ukraine. John reenacts the awkward callback.Spencer Pratt vs. Karen Bass (LA Mayor Race) — Pratt, who lost his Altadena home in the LA fires, is running for mayor against Bass and dropping brutal campaign ads. Bass and councilmember Nithya Raman called the ads "violent" and dangerous. John fires back with a two-minute supercut of Democrats literally calling for uprisings, street fights, and someone putting a bullet in Trump — and asks why that wasn't a problem.Gavin Newsom's Diaper Grift (Golden Gate Start Program) — Newsom announces a "first in the nation" $20M free diaper program for all California newborns through a nonprofit called Baby2Baby — co-run by a woman whose husband is a Democratic donor tied to Newsom's political network, and co-founded by Newsom's wife Jennifer. John does the math: $0.50 per diaper from the state vs. $0.25 retail at Costco. California's sitting on an $18 billion deficit. The celebrity board includes Jessica Alba, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian, and Lauren Sanchez (aka Mrs. Bezos) — who collectively could fund this privately and don't.California Death Row Tablets Scandal — California spent $189 million to give every prison inmate a free tablet under Newsom's "Nordic-style rehabilitation" program at the redesigned San Quentin. Investigators found death row inmates openly using the devices to watch porn, trade explicit messages, and — in at least one case — groom a minor from behind bars, calling her thousands of times. A former corrections official believes thousands of children may be affected. At least one Democratic legislator wants to make inmate messaging completely free.UK Woman Needs Both Legs Amputated (The "Best Foot Forward" Story) — A 21-year-old British woman has been unable to walk since age 14 after a mysterious illness left her legs locked straight and then bent backward at 45 degrees. Doctors told her the pain wasn't real for years. She's scheduled for amputation, has exceeded her £10,000 GoFundMe goal for a custom wheelchair, and may not be able to use prosthetics. The chat goes full Boomer Bunker. Chat member Josh coins "Best Foot Forward" — and the episode has its title.https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-after-my-double-leg-amputationSeattle Teacher Accused of Abusing Autistic Student Elected Union President — Special ed teacher La Joyki Holiday has been on paid administrative leave since December after a family accused her of leaving finger-bruise marks on their nonverbal autistic third-grader and throwing a marker at his face. Seattle police referred the case to prosecutors. While the investigation was still open, the Seattle Education Association elected her union president with 58% of the vote, representing 6,000 employees. She's also a Black Lives Matter organizer. John and Kate argue over whether her pay should be held in escrow pending conviction.28-Year-Old Woman Poses as High School Student — A 28-year-old woman posed as a teenage student and sat in a 10th-grade classroom, reportedly as a stunt to game public assistance. She's facing criminal charges for impersonation and trespassing. The school principal found her out via Facebook, which still listed her real name and age. The chat and John immediately identify more lucrative career paths she missed.

    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 convenience was risky, just wait until your lamp’s nagging you to vote while it sells your secrets to Israel. That’s not all. The show detours from tragic deer collisions to spirited rants about AI-generated podcast content, cheap 1980s jingles, and why most podcasters can’t write show notes to save their lives—spoiler: John Jamingo claims a solid “D average” in English and leans on AI to make things readable.
