Episode 359

Eating Season | 359

John Jamingo and Duchess kick off the 359th Boomer Bunker with their trademark blend of blunt Jersey honesty and irreverent humor. The hosts debate what makes an effective podcast promo, share Thanksgiving food favorites and disasters, and discuss the pain (and expense) of dental work. Things get spicy when they break down a shocking "thank you" encounter gone tragically wrong, reflect on changing norms for how kids address adults, and dive into the political chaos from the government shutdown to Super Bowl halftime controversies. Duchess also brings a personal connection to campus politics, highlighting how open dialogue and respect can transcend partisan boundaries. As always, the duo wraps up with darkly hilarious voicemails and a classic Trump tweet, leaving listeners entertained and possibly in need of a palate cleanser.

  • What makes a podcast promo actually work, and why so many fail
  • Thanksgiving food debates: Gobblers, sweet potato pie, and the dry turkey dilemma
  • A “thank you” dispute at PetSmart that escalated to unthinkable violence
  • Government shutdown shenanigans, Super Bowl halftime drama, and counter-programming culture wars
  • College campus tales: One listener’s firsthand account of being a welcomed liberal in a conservative student group—and shunned by his own side
