Episode 374

Podcast Wars | 374

John and Duchess open on a festive note, with song parodies and playful banter between the co-hosts, including references to their Social media, Discord, and ongoing merch promotions.

The conversation quickly veers into the world of podcasting drama, with John recounting chaos in the "dabbleverse" and Duchess serving as a judge on the 'Shitty Song of the Year' qualifiers, swapping stories about AI-generated music and the importance of originality in covers.

Listeners are then pulled into heavier topics: the legitimacy of news online, voter fraud, the fallout from social media policies, and the ongoing culture wars. The duo critiques the spread of viral fake news, such as the debunked tale of a thief’s family suing a charging station after a fatal accident, and urges listeners to verify their sources. They lampoon public ignorance with a segment on naming continents and debate whether either could pass a GED exam after years out of school.

Later, the episode takes on political grifting, immigration, and systemic fraud in Minnesota, with John railing against officials and corrupt politicians while Duchess questions the integrity of current voting systems. The hosts discuss threats faced by public figures, particularly in podcasting, drawing on the example of Tim Pool, and muse on the chilling ease with which violence is incited online.

Humor returns with punchy listener voicemails and racy jokes, then wraps up with calls for common sense, skepticism, and staying connected to the show week to week. It’s an irreverent blend of outrage, laughs, and critical takes, classic Boomer Bunker from start to finish.
