Summary
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.youtu…
