Petty Pedaling | 430

Tonight's Boomer Bunker kicked off with the biggest story of the week — the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham at 71. John and Duchess dug into the preliminary cause of death, Trump's account of his final phone call with Graham, and the wave of ugly online reactions that followed within hours of the news breaking. From there, the show detoured hard into a heated, extended debate over New Jersey's new e-bike laws — registration fees, insurance requirements, and age restrictions for teen riders — with John coming down firmly against the overreach and Duchess arguing the safety case for it. It's the kind of back-and-forth that gave the episode its title, "Petty Pedaling."

The back half of the show swung from the serious to the absurd. A Yellowstone tourist getting launched into the air by an agitated bison provided the night's comic relief, followed by the ongoing Taco Bell ingredient recall tied to the Cyclospora parasite outbreak sweeping several states. The episode closed out with the Kristi Noem divorce story, as new details emerged from her mother about the marriage ending following the fallout from her husband's fetish-scandal allegations. As always, the conversation moved fast, got loud, and didn't take itself too seriously along the way.
