Duchess

All right, you guys, podcast time.


Duchess

We got the equipment and the perfect business plan.


Duchess

Give our show away for free and tell no one how to find it.


Duchess

Ready?


Duchess

I'm gonna start a podcast that has no focus, and it'll take up an inordinate amount of time.


Duchess

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another riveting episode of the Boomer Bunker, the podcast that tackles the tough topics, share some laughs, and dive headfirst into the sea of controversy.


Duchess

With no life jackets in sight, I'm thrilled to introduce your hosts, the dynamic duo who bring wisdom, wit, and a whole lot of candor.


Duchess

First up, she's the voice of reason with a dash of sass, always ready to call it like she sees it.


Duchess

The Duchess.


Duchess

And joining her, he's the no nonsense sidekick armed with bold opinions and a bald head that's ready to shine.


Duchess

John Jamingo.


Duchess

Together, they'll navigate the latest headlines, dive into deep debates, and maybe even share a pee bucket anecdote or two.


Duchess

So buckle up and get ready for a conversation that's as lively as it is enlightening.


Duchess

Without further ado, here are Duchess and Jamingo.


Duchess

Hey, ho, ho, ho, you hoes.


Duchess

I am your host, John Domingo, and giggles my puss.


Duchess

Over here, the Duchess.


Duchess

You know, the new one.


Duchess

We start the show, and every time we start to chug.


Duchess

I hear that little giggle in the very beginning.


Duchess

It cracks me up.


Duchess

No, don't stop doing it.


Duchess

I love it.


Duchess

It's hysterical.


John Jamingo

Oh, there you go.


John Jamingo

Bruce says it's the trophy wife.


Duchess

It's the trophy wife.


Duchess

Oh, is it the trophy wife.


Duchess

Oh, okay.


John Jamingo

Well, that.


John Jamingo

That goes back to our A Discord discussion.


John Jamingo

If anybody's on our Discord.


John Jamingo

There was a question as to what makes a trophy wife, so there was.


Duchess

One that you can.


Duchess

One that's screwed on the table.


Duchess

Hi.


Duchess

Oh, throw that bell away.


Duchess

I don't know.


John Jamingo

Yeah, I'm in a hat today.


John Jamingo

My hair.


John Jamingo

I have bad hair today, so it's a hat.


Duchess

Yeah, there you go.


Duchess

It was funny when we first came on here, I didn't want to say anything because I couldn't really see well, and I wasn't sure if you had your hair dyed and it was, like, a little dark.


John Jamingo

What the hell did you do to your hair?


Duchess

And I'm not going to say right before we go live.


Duchess

What the hell did you do to your hair?


John Jamingo

I know.


John Jamingo

I fuss with my hair like, the half hour before the show.


Duchess

I'm a season with it.


Duchess

I'm seasoned.


Duchess

I know.


Duchess

You never say, oh, you look fat in that or what to do to your hair.


John Jamingo

What do you do?


Duchess

I didn't say any of that.


Duchess

Although I was on Today testing Studio B.


John Jamingo

You were?


Duchess

And I got called fat right out of the gate.


Duchess

I was like, what the hell?


Duchess

I'm over here losing weight.


Duchess

You know who else is on the Ozempic?


Duchess

Elon Musk.


Duchess

Elon Musk.


John Jamingo

I had seen that.


Duchess

He's thinning out.


Duchess

People are getting on the Ozempnik.


John Jamingo

They are.


Duchess

We'll see what happens.


Duchess

Oh, you know what I'm doing in the beginning of this year?


Duchess

I'm going carnivore.


Duchess

Well, I'm a little nervous about Carnivore because they say that if you eat a lot of protein, it's really bad.


Duchess

It's hard on your kidneys.


John Jamingo

And I'm like, why have you decided to go carnivore?


John Jamingo

Like, is there a medical reason?


Duchess

I just hear that.


John Jamingo

Are you just like, today's the day?


Duchess

No, I hear that.


Duchess

It really makes it.


Duchess

First of all, it helps you really lose weight, and I hear it makes you feel better.


Duchess

But I don't want to ruin my kidneys by, you know, have it.


Duchess

Trying to produce, too.


Duchess

You know, piss out all that protein.


John Jamingo

Well, maybe just a wild thing to say.


John Jamingo

Talk to your doctor.


Duchess

Oh, I knew you were gonna say, talk to your doctor.


John Jamingo

Well, they would be the best ones to suggest it, but it's probably more like cleaner eating would be good.


Duchess

Well, that's what I've been doing.


Duchess

Clean eating, cleaner.


John Jamingo

No, I'm not saying.


John Jamingo

You're not.


John Jamingo

I'm just saying that might be a better start to.


Duchess

Except for yesterday.


Duchess

Yesterday.


John Jamingo

All right.


John Jamingo

Christmas doesn't count.


John Jamingo

Christmas calories should never count.


Duchess

They make that.


Duchess

So we go.


Duchess

So this is how we do it.


Duchess

We have the.


Duchess

I go over there in the morning.


John Jamingo

Josh from New Hampshire says, doctors.


Duchess

So I go over in the morning, and then we have the breakfast.


Duchess

And I mean, it's got.


Duchess

It's the bacon, it's the sausage, it's the so good French toast casserole, cinnamon buns.


Duchess

I mean, it's.


Duchess

You know, you've got eggs.


Duchess

It's crazy.


Duchess

So.


Duchess

Although this year, I gotta be honest with you, this year I just had, like, I took a little bit of everything, a little small bit of everything because I didn't want to be sick.


Duchess

Especially when you're on this medication, if you eat too much, it makes you nauseous.


Duchess

I didn't want that.


Duchess

So I ate like.


Duchess

I ate like an old lady, you know, I just took a little.


Duchess

I'll have a little bit.


Duchess

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.


Duchess

No.


Duchess

So I had that.


Duchess

And, you know, and then I think.


Duchess

I think I had.


Duchess

Throughout the day, I think I had three cookies.


Duchess

A snickerdoodle, which is my favorite.


Duchess

A hot chocolate cookie.


Duchess

And then the other one was a.


Duchess

I can't remember what the other one was, but it was something new.


Duchess

But it was really, really good.


Duchess

It had, like, toffee and stuff in it.


Duchess

It was really good.


Duchess

Anyhow, so then we do that, and then we turn into Jews.


Duchess

What we do is we go.


Duchess

We order Chinese food.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

Like the Jews.


Duchess

We order Chinese food for.


Duchess

For dinner.


Duchess

And this year, all I did was I got some sushi and fried Rumplings.


Duchess

Fried Rumplings.


John Jamingo

Fried dumplings.


John Jamingo

Yeah, those are tasty.


John Jamingo

I like the Crab Rangoons, but without the crab meat.


John Jamingo

Like, just the.


Duchess

Just the rangoon.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

I don't like crab.


Duchess

Oh, God.


John Jamingo

What's those little.


John Jamingo

You know what they are, right?


Duchess

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Duchess

I love.


Duchess

They're.


Duchess

They're fantastic.


Duchess

Crab Rangoon.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

So I got the.


Duchess

So then.


John Jamingo

Then I came with you on snickerdoodles being the official Christmas.


Duchess

Oh, they are so good.


Duchess

I love a snickerdoodle.


Duchess

And here's the thing.


John Jamingo

The wontons.


Duchess

Oh, yeah.


Duchess

Fried wontons are pretty good, too.


John Jamingo

Oh, so good.


Duchess

So I like that better than turkey, I'll be honest with you.


John Jamingo

So was it your whole family?


John Jamingo

How many people?


Duchess

Now, the girls.


Duchess

You know, the girls are.


Duchess

They've got boyfriends now.


Duchess

So they're there in the morning, and then they go off, and they.


Duchess

Off.


Duchess

They all go to the boyfriend dinner at the boyfriends.


Duchess

Yeah, exactly.


Duchess

Oh, let me show you something.


Duchess

I gotta show you this.


Duchess

I forgot.


Duchess

I wanted to get a closer.


Duchess

You gotta see.


John Jamingo

This is awesome.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

Okay, so for.


John Jamingo

You have to watch my daughter.


John Jamingo

John got a cool gift.


Duchess

My daughter and her.


Duchess

And her boyfriend bought me this thing.


Duchess

And it's a cane.


Duchess

Walking stick.


Duchess

Cane.


Duchess

But it's a sword cane.


Duchess

Here's the problem.


Duchess

Watch this.


Duchess

Listen, everybody.


Duchess

I'm unscrewing this thing.


Duchess

What the.


John Jamingo

So you don't accidentally.


Duchess

Hey, you stay over there until I can get my.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

Look at this.


John Jamingo

Holy shit.


John Jamingo

It's really.


John Jamingo

Is it a sword?


Duchess

It's a sword.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

I mean, it's a sword.


John Jamingo

But wants you to go.


John Jamingo

Please yell, you shall not pass.


Duchess

Shall not pass.


John Jamingo

None shall pass.


Duchess

All right, so I was talking to Deuce, and as one does, and he said.


Duchess

Oh, he's.


Duchess

His has.


Duchess

Is a push Button.


Duchess

Listen, here I am, look over here, trying to get this thing screwed back together.


Duchess

But this is so heavy.


John Jamingo

This only takes two days to take out.


Duchess

And these little points are so sharp.


Duchess

Like if anybody really came in and I really had to use this weapon, I just hit them this.


Duchess

Yeah, that would do it.


Duchess

That would take them out.


Duchess

There would be blood drawn.


John Jamingo

Well, I think that's a pretty awesome gift.


Duchess

It is pretty cool.


Duchess

It was like one.


Duchess

You know how you always get like practical gifts?


Duchess

Like I got a Philadelphia Eagle shirt and I got some other shirts and stuff.


Duchess

But that's like one of your fun gifts that you get my son.


John Jamingo

You can stabby, stabby people with.


John Jamingo

That's a fun gift.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

My son took and got a Legos Eagles helmet and he put together.


John Jamingo

Oh, that's awesome.


Duchess

A Legos Eagles helmet.


Duchess

And he put it in a, in a case and.


Duchess

And he's like, what do you say to me?


Duchess

He says, he says, I know you.


Duchess

You'll knock it over and then break it all apart.


Duchess

He says, so I spray glued it so they spray glue it and it doesn't fall apart.


Duchess

Well, that's pretty cool.


John Jamingo

That's actually very smart.


Duchess

Yeah, it's over in the.


John Jamingo

I guess like when you do puzzles and stuff.


Duchess

Yeah, when I'm in studio B, you can see that because it's got shelves there, so it's pretty cool.


John Jamingo

Sparky thinks it's funny where he's like, I know you.


Duchess

I know you.


Duchess

I know you.


John Jamingo

I think I told the swords when Jimmy comes over and wants half your.


Duchess

Sammy back off you.


John Jamingo

No, it's mine.


Duchess

No, I'm not like that.


Duchess

I'd have gave him the whole thing and ordered another one.


John Jamingo

I know.


Duchess

The other thing was when I was get in the studio, my daughter calls me.


Duchess

I said, the table's coming.


Duchess

And she goes, well, do you need a hand getting it down the steps?


Duchess

I said, it's four by four.


Duchess

It shouldn't be that big of a deal.


Duchess

She goes, you know, you're not.


Duchess

You're getting old.


John Jamingo

Oh.


Duchess

I don't want you to hurt yourself.


John Jamingo

I don't want you to hurt yourself.


John Jamingo

Okay, Grandpa, I think I can get.


Duchess

It down the steps.


John Jamingo

Oh, man, that hurt.


Duchess

Yes, I got.


John Jamingo

It's a little bit like, oh, right.


Duchess

Assault my manhood.


Duchess

So I had to, I had to get it down the steps and open it up and then get the whole thing set up.


Duchess

And then I had to test with.


John Jamingo

No help, of course.


John Jamingo

Right.


John Jamingo

Did she come help you?


Duchess

No, no one helped me.


John Jamingo

Of course not.


Duchess

No, but I have everything there.


Duchess

It's ready to go.


Duchess

The other road caster pros over there.


Duchess

And today I tested it, and I have the second camera, so the Duchess camera.


Duchess

And I had to put the bobblehead there so you.


Duchess

You can see the second.


Duchess

But, you know, my son, when he was.


Duchess

He could have been no more than seven.


Duchess

And he used to love these marble mazes.


Duchess

So the.


Duchess

My wife at the time, we call her the ex, she buys this marble maze.


Duchess

And this thing is like, the size of a kitchen table, and it's got elevators, and the marbles run up, and they come down, and there's like.


Duchess

And you can run, like, 12 marbles at the same time.


John Jamingo

Oh, my God.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

It took forever to put this together.


Duchess

It took me four nights, you know, with the instructions, putting everything together, get everything together right.


Duchess

So that The Christmas Eve.


Duchess

Because he still believes in Santa, we bring it upstairs, we put it on the kitchen table, and, you know, okay, move everything out of the way so they all come down, and he's like, oh, Santa brought me the marble maze.


Duchess

Oh.


Duchess

So we turn it on, and it's sitting there, and it's doing this.


Duchess

And he's sitting there watching it, watching it, watching it.


Duchess

And about 15 minutes.


Duchess

I don't know what he picked up, but he picked up, like, a broom or something.


Duchess

He went.


Duchess

Pieces went flying.


Duchess

Marbles went flying.


Duchess

And I just looked.


Duchess

I'm just.


Duchess

I'm stunned.


Duchess

I don't know what to do.


Duchess

I'm just.


Duchess

I'm paralyzed.


Duchess

I want to kill him.


John Jamingo

All the thoughts.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

I just.


Duchess

I just seized up.


Duchess

I just locked up.


John Jamingo

That's probably good.


Duchess

You did right?


Duchess

And then I go, I'm gonna go take a ride.


Duchess

So I grabbed my keys.


Duchess

I went for a ride.


Duchess

I was gonna kill him.


Duchess

I was gonna.


Duchess

I was gonna take pieces of that and beat him with it.


Duchess

Oh, my God.


John Jamingo

Did he ever explain why?


Duchess

Well, remember, he's autistic, so.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

I guess he just went, say, like.


John Jamingo

I want to see how it worked or, like, something.


Duchess

So then he says to me, when I come back, he goes, can you put that back together again?


Duchess

I said, together, you destroyed it.


Duchess

You broke it.


Duchess

Like, you broke it.


Duchess

There's.


Duchess

There's nothing to put back together.


Duchess

You did.


Duchess

Absolutely.


Duchess

It was fif.


Duchess

I spent four days, put it together.


Duchess

Fifteen minutes.


John Jamingo

Oh, my God.


John Jamingo

I would have cried.


Duchess

Oh, my God.


John Jamingo

It was so hard.


Duchess

I wanted to kill him.


Duchess

But, yeah, it was.


Duchess

It was.


John Jamingo

I remember that story.


Duchess

Yeah, I know.


Duchess

It's.


Duchess

It's a.


Duchess

Every.


John Jamingo

What did what did Kathy do?


Duchess

It was the night before Christmas and Jaminga was in the cellar building a marble maze for his son.


Duchess

No, I mean, it's just like I tell it every year.


Duchess

It's like my, you know, my December 7th joke.


Duchess

Do I tell you that one?


Duchess

You know that one?


John Jamingo

I think I do.


Duchess

It's a guy's half black and half Japanese.


Duchess

Every December 7th, he attacks Pearl Bailey.


Duchess

That's my, that's my December 7th joke.


Duchess

I tell it every year.


John Jamingo

I think you missed that one.


John Jamingo

So Bruce wants to know what's in a glass.


John Jamingo

It's rose.


John Jamingo

It had a screw top.


John Jamingo

I have no idea what brand.


John Jamingo

The bottle looked good.


John Jamingo

I picked it up.


John Jamingo

It's fussy.


Duchess

It's wine.


John Jamingo

It's wine.


Duchess

That was kind of Christmas.


Duchess

You know, it's funny that we were talking about, you know, using a cane and self defense because we're going to get into it.


Duchess

I don't even know where to go with this because it's, it's ridiculous.


Duchess

And I think what's happening is that, I guess through the Trump administration or before, really before.


Duchess

I think it happened really with Obama where they started to say, you know what, the criminals are the marginalized, and if you take and you put them in jail, then you're the oppressor.


Duchess

So they started this way back in Obama probably in like 2008 and in 2012.


Duchess

And it's been getting progressively worse until now.


Duchess

We're like, you know what, let's move back to the middle.


Duchess

This is ridiculous.


Duchess

You know, like the right with Trump.


Duchess

He was, you know, he said to the Republicans, look, you loses, you lose these elections.


Duchess

I mean, I'm a winner.


Duchess

We're going to move to the center.


Duchess

And you know, and then the Democrats are like looking at Kamala Harris and, and all this.


John Jamingo

Not like the savior.


Duchess

Yeah, yeah.


Duchess

Well, not only that, but I like a lot of the normal Democrats, you know, not your blue haired, you know, nose rings, ear gauges, college educated, those.


Duchess

You're not them.


Duchess

You're normal Democrats.


Duchess

They're like, you know, like your Joe Rogans, your Telsey Gabbards, your, you know, people like that.


Duchess

They're like, you know, hey, we're moving to the center.


Duchess

So now I think there's a huge group of us that are moving the center.


Duchess

Like I said, Chenk Uygur was over at the.


John Jamingo

What did you call him?


Duchess

Chenk.


Duchess

His name's Chenk Uygur.


Duchess

I call him Chunk.


Duchess

You get mad at me.


Duchess

I figure out how to use his real name.


Duchess

Now you say his name is Chenk Uygur?


John Jamingo

Chink.


Duchess

Chenk.


Duchess

Chink Chank.


John Jamingo

He's not.


Duchess

He's not Asian.


John Jamingo

I know exactly who he is.


Duchess

Okay, well, what's his name then?


Duchess

What do you call him?


John Jamingo

I don't know.


John Jamingo

I don't know how it's pronounced.


John Jamingo

But you said Chink.


Duchess

Chink, Chank, Gook, Whatever.


Duchess

I don't care.


Duchess

I'm just saying.


John Jamingo

Okay, that.


Duchess

The Uyghur guy.


Duchess

The guy from the Young Turks.


John Jamingo

The guy.


John Jamingo

Sorry.


Duchess

Well, you're, like.


Duchess

You're catching me with it.


Duchess

Shank.


John Jamingo

Shank.


Duchess

It's not Shank.


John Jamingo

Shank.


John Jamingo

Shank.


John Jamingo

Chunk.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

We use the guy from the Young Turks.


Duchess

Okay, the guy from the Young.


John Jamingo

Chunk.


John Jamingo

We all know who he is.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

Chunk Uygur from the Young Turks.


Duchess

He was at Turning Point usa And then, like I said, so we're.


Duchess

I think we're moving back.


Duchess

We're moving to the middle, and we're leaving the crazies out on the fringe.


Duchess

But what happened now is that, you know that.


Duchess

I mean, we saw what happened on the subway where that guy set the woman on fire.


Duchess

She died.


John Jamingo

Awful.


Duchess

All right?


John Jamingo

Awful.


Duchess

And now, was it Christmas Eve?


Duchess

A guy stabbed a girl, a woman, in the throat.


Duchess

Did she die?


Duchess

No, she didn't die.


John Jamingo

No.


Duchess

No one helped her.


John Jamingo

Someone did finally step up to help, who was also attacked.


Duchess

Oh.


John Jamingo

And actually, I think more injured than she was.


Duchess

Really?


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

I don't think he, like, I think he sliced.


John Jamingo

I'm.


John Jamingo

I'm not sure what the full details were on the attack, but he did not.


John Jamingo

Yeah, it was.


John Jamingo

It was.


John Jamingo

I mean, both of.


John Jamingo

It was bad for both of them.


John Jamingo

It's like it was the fact that she's looking for help, and no one.


John Jamingo

No one steps up because everybody's terrified because what's going to happen?


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

Because these people are crazy.


Duchess

Yeah.


John Jamingo

What's going to happen if you help.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

And you're going to go to jail.


Duchess

This is what's going to happen.


Duchess

This is.


Duchess

The repercussions of.


Duchess

AOC says that now that they.


Duchess

The subway's more dangerous because they acquitted Penny.


Duchess

Daniel.


Duchess

Penny, and he should have went to jail for.


Duchess

I'm like, cut me a break.


Duchess

We're done with this.


John Jamingo

It's really awful.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

It's ridiculous.


John Jamingo

You know, the fact.


John Jamingo

And so here's the kicker.


John Jamingo

Like, again with Kathy Hokel, the governor, who says the subways are safe.


John Jamingo

And they show her, like, you know, riding in one of the cars, surrounded probably by state police and.


John Jamingo

And people filming.


John Jamingo

So, of course, Nothing's going to happen.


John Jamingo

So with her proclaiming how safe it is, and then again, that poor young woman set on fire, and then this woman stabbed in the subway.


John Jamingo

And someone who finally did come to help her, also stabbed and wounded.


John Jamingo

And it's.


John Jamingo

There's just no.


John Jamingo

And then, you know, you had Daniel Penny who stepped up and penalized.


John Jamingo

So, like, what do you do?


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

What do you do as a citizen?


John Jamingo

Like, what do you do?


John Jamingo

Like, do you remember what happened to Bernie Gantz?


John Jamingo

Remember him?


John Jamingo

Back in the 80s?


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

Well, he was acquitted.


John Jamingo

Well, he probably shouldn't have been, but.


John Jamingo

Because he.


John Jamingo

He brought that gun on the subway waiting to get attacked.


John Jamingo

Like, he say that right after this.


Duchess

What do you mean?


John Jamingo

I don't blame him.


John Jamingo

I don't blame him for.


Duchess

He was down there because he knew it was a fucking freak show down there.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

And he brought a gun, and a guy brought a screwdriver out and was going to stab with a screwdriver and he pulled the gun out.


Duchess

I think he killed a couple of them, didn't he?


Duchess

I can't remember.


John Jamingo

He did.


Duchess

He shot.


John Jamingo

They tried to.


John Jamingo

Yeah, and they tried to make it that he was the bad guy.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

They put him on trial and he ended up being acquitted through all this.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

I mean, there was.


John Jamingo

There was a lot of wrong.


John Jamingo

I don't.


John Jamingo

I think.


John Jamingo

I don't agree with him bringing the gun and looking for these kids, but.


Duchess

Why do you say don't blame him?


John Jamingo

I don't blame him for defending himself, but I think he was looking to murder these kids.


Duchess

You think he was just riding the subways waiting for somebody to attack him?


John Jamingo

Yes.


John Jamingo

Some people are.


John Jamingo

You know, it's like the people who set fires to buildings, you know, kind of.


Duchess

So you thought he was just a vigilante that was just riding.


Duchess

He wasn't going to work or something.


John Jamingo

He did.


John Jamingo

He did.


John Jamingo

He was a vigilante.


John Jamingo

He did shoot them.


John Jamingo

No, no, no, I'm not saying they attacked him.


John Jamingo

I get it.


John Jamingo

But he set himself up for that, right?


Duchess

He set himself up for that.


Duchess

How?


John Jamingo

Well, by bringing the gun.


John Jamingo

So they knew he had two wrongs don't make right.


John Jamingo

I understand him defending himself, but you couldn't.


John Jamingo

You weren't supposed to bring.


Duchess

But you said.


Duchess

You said that he brought this on himself.


John Jamingo

Put himself in that predicament by on purpose being on the subway, looking.


John Jamingo

By looking for these kids.


John Jamingo

He knew they.


Duchess

He was looking for kids to stab him with a screwdriver.


John Jamingo

Yes.


John Jamingo

Well, he set it up.


Duchess

He set it up.


Duchess

He's like, hey, anybody got some scraps?


Duchess

Anybody got some screwdrivers you want to stab me with?


John Jamingo

Yeah, that's what he did.


John Jamingo

He handed them.


John Jamingo

He knew these kids were there.


John Jamingo

He waited for them.


Duchess

He waited for them.


Duchess

So he went in the subway and waited for them.


John Jamingo

Look, I'm not.


John Jamingo

I'm not saying he was wrong for taking matters into his own hands.


John Jamingo

I'm just saying.


John Jamingo

But you're saying he looking for the fight.


Duchess

But what you are saying or what you did say is that he brought this on himself because he had a gun on him in case he was attacked.


John Jamingo

Yes.


John Jamingo

You're not supposed to have a gun.


John Jamingo

Well, the law.


John Jamingo

You're not supposed to have the gun in New York.


John Jamingo

The laws have changed.


John Jamingo

Well, I don't remember what the gun laws were in the 80s.


John Jamingo

I'm pretty sure you couldn't bring them on the subway.


Duchess

Here's a funny thing, right?


Duchess

There's a thing in the.


Duchess

You know, in the Bill of Rights.


Duchess

It's the Second Amendment.


Duchess

It says government shall make no laws.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

No laws.


John Jamingo

Sure.


John Jamingo

Bring them on airplanes, too.


Duchess

Just saying.


John Jamingo

Okay, well, look, you can't take your fucking Second amendment rights.


John Jamingo

So if you can't bring them in the subway, nobody should be bringing guns in the subway.


Duchess

The First Amendment is government should not impede any speech.


Duchess

And then the Second Amendment is government should make no laws to, you know, impede people from carrying a gun.


John Jamingo

Okay?


John Jamingo

So if wander around in the state of New Jersey with a gun sticking out of your pocket, it's against every.


Duchess

Every one of these laws is unconstitutional.


Duchess

Am I wrong?


John Jamingo

Well, would you like to prove the point?


Duchess

I'm just telling you.


Duchess

I'm just telling you that that's not.


John Jamingo

The argument that I'm making about Bernie Getz.


Duchess

Yeah, you're saying that the reason he's twisting it to.


Duchess

If he didn't have a gun.


Duchess

If he didn't have a gun, these guys would have stabbed him with a screwdriver.


Duchess

And.


Duchess

But he.


Duchess

But since he had a gun to defend himself, he brought it on himself.


John Jamingo

That makes it okay, though.


John Jamingo

He shouldn't have brought the gun.


John Jamingo

The whole.


John Jamingo

I understand.


Duchess

Well, how was he supposed to defend himself?


Duchess

Was he supposed to have a screwdriver?


John Jamingo

Supposed to be a vigilante.


Duchess

You're supposed to have a longer screwdriver.


John Jamingo

You.


John Jamingo

You are nitpicking.


John Jamingo

Hold on.


John Jamingo

You're nitpicking for your.


John Jamingo

Oh, my God.


John Jamingo

Yeah, okay.


John Jamingo

Well, yeah, you go ahead.


John Jamingo

Can you please record that sound of you rattling that?


John Jamingo

Because that's a lot of fun.


John Jamingo

Like I need like a 10 second loop of.


Duchess

I'll just say it.


Duchess

It's like he had a gun to defend himself.


Duchess

There's more than.


Duchess

I tell you what.


Duchess

There's probably.


John Jamingo

You can believe that he did.


Duchess

I do believe that.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

And you know who else did?


Duchess

A jury of his peers.


John Jamingo

I understand.


John Jamingo

Again, I get it.


John Jamingo

I understand why I have ridden on the subway.


John Jamingo

What I'm saying to you is by the book.


John Jamingo

He shouldn't have done it.


Duchess

The book that has the unconstitutional law, John.


Duchess

The one that has the unconstitutional laws against carrying a gun.


John Jamingo

Well, go ahead and carry a gun around and see how that works out for you.


John Jamingo

I'm protecting my Second Amendment rights while your ass will be in jail.


Duchess

Well, I know in New Jersey you.


John Jamingo

Can fight from there.


Duchess

I know in New Jersey they're making it easier to carry a gun now and because go out and carry your gun.


Duchess

Draconian laws.


Duchess

Look, I'll be honest with you.


John Jamingo

I believe they need to be changed.


Duchess

But until they change, you know the same thing.


Duchess

If you learn how to defend yourself and you learn how to use a gun and you use it as a last resort, I don't see a problem with it.


Duchess

I don't see a problem carrying a gun.


John Jamingo

Is it legal to carry it in New Jersey?


Duchess

If you have a permit, it is.


John Jamingo

Who gets the permit to carry?


Duchess

I know people that have.


John Jamingo

I understand how it works.


John Jamingo

I get it.


Duchess

I know people have permits to carry.


Duchess

I know a few people have permits to carry.


Duchess

And our load.


John Jamingo

And do you have one?


Duchess

No, I do not.


John Jamingo

Okay, so does that mean that.


John Jamingo

Fuck it, it's Wednesday.


John Jamingo

I don't like how this guy's looking at me.


John Jamingo

I'm gonna carry my gun around because I just don't like the way he's looking at me.


John Jamingo

And I'm gonna shoot.


Duchess

Did you bump your head over Christmas?


Duchess

What the hell does that mean?


Duchess

What?


Duchess

I'm just saying I don't understand your logic all of a sudden.


Duchess

You're normally a very logical person.


Duchess

What happened to you?


John Jamingo

I'm just fucking with you.


John Jamingo

Just like you're fucking with me.


Duchess

Okay, well, that's fine.


Duchess

I just thought for a second there, I lost you.


Duchess

I thought maybe I drifted away.


John Jamingo

I spent too much time with my liberal daughter.


Duchess

Yeah, you better throw them out in the house.


John Jamingo

I'm okay.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

I'll get it.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

I was putting sarcasm sign next time, like joking.


Duchess

I'll tell you what.


Duchess

I, you know, Academy Award performance there because I was flabbergasted.


Duchess

Jesus.


Duchess

I was like, at First I couldn't believe it.


Duchess

I was like sitting here staring in disbelief.


Duchess

But okay, okay.


Duchess

All right.


John Jamingo

So thank you, Bud Dugger.


John Jamingo

It's from a bottle.


John Jamingo

I'm classy.


John Jamingo

Thank you.


Duchess

Oh, I forgot you're drinking.


Duchess

I forgot.


Duchess

Okay.


Duchess

I think in California.


Duchess

Is this where this was in California, Some kids tried to rob a guy who was also carrying a gun, probably legally.


Duchess

And this is what happened.


Duchess

Good morning, Amy.


Unknown Speaker

In the course of the investigation, deputies learned those kids were just between the ages of 12 and 14 years old, and they tried robbing a man with a gun.


Duchess

Deputy say, hold on now.


Duchess

I know they're not sweet little children.


Duchess

I know they're not allowed to carry guns.


Duchess

They're not old enough to carry guns.


Duchess

Although the second amendment doesn't have an age limit on that.


Duchess

Just saying.


John Jamingo

You can try that too.


Duchess

Here we go.


Unknown Speaker

Least three of those kids were shot.


Unknown Speaker

One of them is still in critical condition at last check.


Unknown Speaker

When Harris county sheriff deputies showed up here, they found one of the kids with several gunshot wounds.


Unknown Speaker

He was taken to a nearby trauma center in critical condition.


Unknown Speaker

As I just mentioned.


Unknown Speaker

And as paramedics were attending to him, two other kids were found with gunshot wounds.


Unknown Speaker

Both were taken to the hospital and are stable.


Unknown Speaker

Shortly after that, the suspected shooter, who deputies believe the teens were trying to rob, return to the scene and turn himself in.


John Jamingo

He's a good guy.


Duchess

I heard some gunshots.


Duchess

Sound like they were basically at my front door.


Duchess

And of course, as you can see from behind me, they were down the.


Unknown Speaker

Way a little bit, to be frank.


Duchess

And honest with you.


Duchess

I grabbed my gun, which is in a holster, and walked outside to see what was going on.


Duchess

I'm sorry, this is in Texas.


Duchess

It's not California.


Duchess

Everybody's packing in Texas.


Duchess

Jesus Christ.


John Jamingo

This stars.


Duchess

I.


Duchess

I heard some gunshots, so you know what I did?


Duchess

I grabbed my.


John Jamingo

I got my gun too.


Duchess

I grabbed my rod and out I went.


John Jamingo

Everybody runs outside, like, what's happening?


Duchess

Everybody.


John Jamingo

All right?


John Jamingo

What's going on, you kids?


John Jamingo

Well, the.


John Jamingo

It's the fact that this guy had to defend himself from a swarm of children.


Duchess

12 year olds.


Duchess

12 to 14 year olds?


John Jamingo

Well, yeah, no, that's what I mean.


John Jamingo

Like they bum rushed him and tried to rob him and he shot them all.


John Jamingo

First of all, like, every one of them had a hole in him.


Duchess

Okay.


Duchess

I didn't see anybody.


Duchess

But for, for first of all, I'm wondering if they were black people.


Duchess

I'm not 100 sure.


Duchess

I mean, the neighbor was.


Duchess

Was dark, but I'm just saying, I.


John Jamingo

Don'T we don't say he was dying.


Duchess

Dark.


John Jamingo

You say dark.


John Jamingo

He was a black man.


Duchess

Dark.


John Jamingo

The one who spoke.


John Jamingo

Yeah, yeah, he had.


Duchess

He was.


Duchess

He had a lot of melanin.


John Jamingo

Melatonin.


Duchess

Melatonin.


John Jamingo

It's an absolute around and find out moment for sure.


Duchess

All right, let's find out.


Duchess

Leave.


Unknown Speaker

The incident occurred due to an attempted aggravated robbery that involved the juveniles attempting.


Duchess

To rob the adult male.


Duchess

During the incident, the juveniles approached the male and they were displaying pistols.


Duchess

The adult male retrieved his own pistol.


Unknown Speaker

And shot the juveniles.


John Jamingo

Where's your gunshots, John?


John Jamingo

No, not appropriate.


Duchess

No, I'm getting there.


Duchess

And a little slow on here.


Duchess

Hold on.


Duchess

Here we go.


John Jamingo

A little bit.


John Jamingo

Oh, I'm hit.


Duchess

Ouch, ouch, ouchie, ouchie.


Duchess

Mom, he's shooting back.


Duchess

Mom.


John Jamingo

I can't.


John Jamingo

So I guess the kids, they were displaying pistols.


Duchess

Yeah, they.


Duchess

They brought out their pistols and then they.


John Jamingo

So I wonder if they were real guns or if they.


John Jamingo

Or at least what the guy thought was pistols or if they.


John Jamingo

They were pistols they actually got.


John Jamingo

Who'd they get them from?


Duchess

I don't know.


Duchess

There's a video.


Duchess

It's an airsoft video.


Duchess

Oh, my God.


Duchess

It is the funniest thing.


Duchess

I love this thing.


Duchess

And it's this kid who gets an airsoft pistol and he starts talking about.


Duchess

And it's kind of like in the 80s.


Duchess

Not that they had airsoft pistols, but it kind of has the same thing.


Duchess

I wonder if I could find it.


Duchess

Okay, but go ahead if you don't.


John Jamingo

I don't even know what this is.


John Jamingo

Reference.


Duchess

I know, I'm sorry.


John Jamingo

Okay, so John, what I'm saying, I'm going to find a video.


Duchess

If.


Duchess

If you Just about something.


Duchess

I'm telling you, it's worth it.


Duchess

It's so worth it.


John Jamingo

If I can get to watch it, it'll be worth it.


Duchess

No, it's, it's.


Duchess

It's.


Duchess

It's.


John Jamingo

Is it pure audio?


John Jamingo

We could.


Duchess

Listen, let me see.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

If I can get.


Duchess

It's a cartoon.


Duchess

Number one.


John Jamingo

Oh, okay.


John Jamingo

Okay, okay.


Duchess

And then the kid narrates it.


Duchess

Gun fight.


Duchess

Yeah, cartoon.


Duchess

Maybe.


John Jamingo

Bruce says he gave them the Eastwood treatment.


John Jamingo

He sure did.


Duchess

Yeah, sure.


John Jamingo

He sure did.


Duchess

Let's see if I can find it.


Duchess

All right, let's see.


Duchess

Share screen and then do this.


John Jamingo

So do you think the audio will be muted on the playback?


Duchess

I don't think so.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

I don't know.


John Jamingo

All right, Sparky, take some bets there for me.


Duchess

Hang on.


Duchess

It's not.


Duchess

It's not a song.


Unknown Speaker

His Gun wasn't real.


Unknown Speaker

Luckily he wasn't massacred on the street.


Duchess

Here we go.


Duchess

Here it is.


Duchess

Alright.


Unknown Speaker

I was a big fan of airsoft guns when I was a kid.


Unknown Speaker

If you don't know what an airsoft gun is, well, it's a plastic gun that kind of bridges the gap between a Nerf gun and a semi automatic rifle.


Unknown Speaker

They shoot little plastic BB's and after about a week your whole house is littered with them.


Unknown Speaker

Your dad's dumping them out of the toaster, your sister's digging them out of her ass crack.


Unknown Speaker

You just go around shooting a bunch of holes in all the lampshades.


Unknown Speaker

And I was the first kid on my block to get an airsoft gun.


Unknown Speaker

Brought it out to show off to everybody.


Unknown Speaker

They're all mesmerized.


Unknown Speaker

I could conquer the whole goddamn world with this thing.


Unknown Speaker

My buddy David literally took it out of my hand and he's like, ah, sweet.


Unknown Speaker

This is sweet.


Duchess

David.


Unknown Speaker

What the fuck?


Unknown Speaker

It was my turn to shoot Michael in the face.


Unknown Speaker

It was a bit of a trendsetter I gotta say, because like a week later, every kid on the block had an airsoft gun.


Unknown Speaker

They didn't have a normal airsoft gun like I did.


Unknown Speaker

They had this fucking battery powered M16 tactical shit, fully automatic.


Unknown Speaker

Get shot in the face 30 times in four seconds.


Unknown Speaker

Hold on a damn minute.


Unknown Speaker

Jesus, I'm using this stone age piece of crap.


Unknown Speaker

My shit looks like a happy meal toy compared to yours.


Unknown Speaker

Michael's over there, doesn't even have an airsoft gun.


Unknown Speaker

He's like shooting BB's through a fucking straw like it's a blowgun.


Unknown Speaker

He's wearing his puffy ass winter coat in the middle of July, has body armor, There'd always be somebody out of ammo, trying to call timeout.


Unknown Speaker

Wait, wait, wait a minute.


Duchess

Timeout, bitch.


Duchess

There ain't no time.


Unknown Speaker

Out in airsoft, you get home with a bunch of red welts all over your body like somebody gave you a smallpox blanket.


Unknown Speaker

I eventually upgraded my arsenal, threw my handgun out and purchased a big ol sniper rifle.


Unknown Speaker

Things bigger than my entire body.


Unknown Speaker

Big ass scope on top of it.


Unknown Speaker

Like I was gonna assassinate a public official.


Unknown Speaker

Sure it didn't shoot fast like the other ones, but that thing had some power.


Unknown Speaker

My friends hidin behind a car and shit, I'd just shoot through the fucking car.


Unknown Speaker

First weekend I got that rifle, shot my cousin in the back.


Unknown Speaker

The following weekend we had a closed casket funeral for him.


Unknown Speaker

Now on one particular day we were playing capture the flag.


Unknown Speaker

And it's important to note at this time they didn't put the big ass orange tips on these guns like they do nowadays.


Unknown Speaker

Let you know it's a fake gun.


Unknown Speaker

No, I just dab a bit of orange nail polish on the end of that bitch, call it a day.


Unknown Speaker

And that kind of makes it a little hard for your neighbors to determine if you're outside playing or if you're committing an act of domestic terrorism.


Unknown Speaker

Yeah, hi, 911.


Unknown Speaker

There's a child with a deer rifle and he's running amok in the streets.


Unknown Speaker

So I'm sitting there at my base, which is David's front yard.


Unknown Speaker

I'm peeking through my scope like I'm about to put Lyndon B.


Unknown Speaker

Johnson into office.


Unknown Speaker

And I'm on the lookout for David.


Unknown Speaker

Now where's David at?


Unknown Speaker

Well, David has adhd, so he's not at his base and he's not at my base.


Unknown Speaker

Hell, I don't even know if he even knew he was playing at the time.


Unknown Speaker

Probably forgot all about it.


Unknown Speaker

Chasing a butterfly and shit.


Unknown Speaker

Now David decides to walk to one of the busiest streets in the city and wave around what looks to be an automatic assault rifle in the air.


Unknown Speaker

Imagine David's surprise when about four seconds later, a goddamn paddy wagon pulls up in front of him.


Unknown Speaker

Bunch of cops pile out.


Unknown Speaker

They got their guns drawn on this completely oblivious attack.


Unknown Speaker

Attention deficit child.


Unknown Speaker

I wasn't there.


Unknown Speaker

I was around the block waiting to shoot David in the teeth with my Kennedy killer.


Unknown Speaker

But I bet that turd in his pants was massive.


Unknown Speaker

It didn't take him long to figure out that David's gun wasn't real.


Unknown Speaker

Luckily, he wasn't massacred on the street right there.


Unknown Speaker

And then they load his ass in the back of the wagon like the wild animal that he is, and they pull up to the front of his house.


Unknown Speaker

Now, I was there for this part, and I can say for sure that the turd in my pants was massive.


Unknown Speaker

One cop gets out, he's like, put that goddamn rifle down.


Unknown Speaker

So I threw it like the gun was on fire.


Unknown Speaker

Dave comes out of the back of the truck looking like a shitty Dennis the Menace cartoon.


Unknown Speaker

The hell do you think you kids are doing?


Unknown Speaker

We're just playing.


Unknown Speaker

Why is that kid wearing that puffy ass coat?


Duchess

It's 94 degrees outside.


Unknown Speaker

David's mom comes running out like they're filming an episode of Law and Order.


Duchess

In her front yard.


Unknown Speaker

So they get the chance to meet Ice T.


Unknown Speaker

She's gotta deal with this bullshit.


Unknown Speaker

Now, the cops were really cool about this whole shitty situation.


Unknown Speaker

They gave David's mom her Arsenal of plastic weapons.


Unknown Speaker

And they.


Unknown Speaker

They're all like, well, we could have murdered your kid and got away with it, but, well, we didn't, so you're welcome.


Unknown Speaker

Why don't you give him a wiffle ball bat or some shit to play with instead?


Unknown Speaker

Jesus Christ.


Unknown Speaker

So the moral of the story is, don't be a fucking idiot waving a weapon around in the street.


Duchess

There you go.


John Jamingo

All right.


John Jamingo

Sparky asked you to link that video.


John Jamingo

Can you please put it in Discord?


Duchess

I will put the link to this.


John Jamingo

Put it in the boomer bunker section of the Discord.


Duchess

Okay, that's.


Duchess

Isn't that good?


Duchess

It's a good one, isn't it?


John Jamingo

It's pretty funny, actually.


John Jamingo

It's not wrong.


Duchess

I know.


John Jamingo

So basically, the Airsoft rifles were pretty much.


John Jamingo

It's a paintball gun without the paint.


John Jamingo

Yeah, it's paintballs.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

It's essentially.


John Jamingo

And you just shoot pellets out of it instead.


Duchess

Yeah, it's like.


Duchess

Like I said, little plastic pellets.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

There it is.


John Jamingo

That look like those fuckers would hurt, so you dropped it in.


John Jamingo

Thank you much.


Duchess

Oh, yeah, they.


Duchess

They hurt.


John Jamingo

All right.


Duchess

But see, okay, so we, as kids would use real BB guns when we would play that, and we would shoot each other, but there was rules.


Duchess

No shooting in the face, and you weren't allowed to pump it more than two times.


Duchess

We would shoot each other with BB.


John Jamingo

Gun pressure, I guess, in it.


Duchess

Yeah, because you had the Red Rider BB gun.


Duchess

Shoot your eye out.


John Jamingo

I never had one.


Duchess

I know.


Duchess

Well, you're a girl.


John Jamingo

Well, my brother never had one either, so.


John Jamingo

It's my mom, so no guns.


Duchess

No guns in the house.


John Jamingo

No, no, no, no.


Duchess

Okay.


John Jamingo

No guns.


John Jamingo

I might have more respect for him.


Duchess

That's why one of my favorite.


John Jamingo

Not that I don't have respect for him, but I would love more.


Duchess

I'm sitting at my base, and I'm looking through my scope like I'm about ready to put Lyndon B.


Duchess

Johnson in office.


Duchess

It's terrible reference with my Kennedy killer.


John Jamingo

Kennedy killer.


John Jamingo

Holy.


John Jamingo

That was bad.


Duchess

Yeah.


John Jamingo

Bruce says BB gun wars.


John Jamingo

Levi jackets and newspaper armor.


Duchess

Yeah.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

What else do we used to do?


John Jamingo

Armor.


Duchess

Yeah, we would take that and we would.


Duchess

Like when we used to play hockey, we didn't have, like, hockey pads, like when you were playing street hockey.


Duchess

So what you do is you'd find somebody throwing a couch out, and you take the cushions and you would cut the cushions, and you would get that, and you would put holes in it and tie ropes.


John Jamingo

Padding.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

And you would use that.


John Jamingo

God only knows what was on that couch.


Duchess

God damn.


John Jamingo

Let's put it in our clothes.


Duchess

My hockey pads smell like cat piss.


John Jamingo

You're lucky that's all they smelled like.


Duchess

My chest protector smells like vomit.


John Jamingo

Is this the sex couch?


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

No.


Duchess

Oh, no, that's all right.


John Jamingo

You work close to your heart.


John Jamingo

That's all that matters.


Duchess

There you go.


Duchess

Well, no, I just.


Duchess

I think that.


Duchess

I think that, like I said, the normal people, the people with common sense, right?


Duchess

Even though they're leaning left, leaning right, we're like, you know what?


Duchess

We got to get together because these people, these, you know, you got your blue hairs.


John Jamingo

On the one side, minorities, really, it's minority.


John Jamingo

But they're the loudest.


John Jamingo

They're the loudest.


Duchess

Oh, when you say minority, you mean like the Not.


John Jamingo

Not as in not a racial minority?


John Jamingo

Just as there's not as many of them, but they're so loud.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

I can't help but pay attention.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

And then on the other side, you got your Jesus freaks and you know that stuff.


Duchess

So I'm just saying it's on both sides.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

I'm just busting new jobs.


Duchess

What's that?


John Jamingo

I'm just goofing on you.


Duchess

I don't know.


Duchess

Here's an interesting story for you.


Duchess

There's a guy in Japan, and he has a proposition to help Japan's losing people left and right because the population's getting older and they're not getting married and not having children, so they're losing out.


Duchess

So this guy, he has a plan, and I want to hear your thoughts on this.


Unknown Speaker

A Japanese lawmaker proposed that women over 25 cannot marry and women over 30 must have their uteruses removed as a way to increase Japan's declining birth rate.


Unknown Speaker

I'll explain.


Unknown Speaker

Naoki Hayakuta has sparked widespread outrage with his controversial proposals aimed at addressing Japan's declining birth rates.


Unknown Speaker

Hyakuta's remarks were made during a YouTube program where he discussed potential measures to increase Japan's birth rate.


Unknown Speaker

He suggested that all women in Japan should undergo forced hysterectomies after the age of 30 and be banned from marrying after 25.


Unknown Speaker

Additionally, Hyakuta proposed restricting women's access to education beyond the age of 18 to prioritize childbearing over other pursuits.


Unknown Speaker

According to him, these extreme measures would pressure women to have children earlier, reversing the nation's demographic decline.


Unknown Speaker

Japan has been grappling with the declining birth rate and an aging population for several decades.


Unknown Speaker

The country's birth rate has dropped to its lowest level since 1969.


Unknown Speaker

Japan's health ministry reported only 350,074 births between January and June, marking a 5.7% decline compared to the same period last year.


Unknown Speaker

Women across Japan fiercely condemned the Conservative party leader's remarks, calling them oppressive and deeply misogynistic.


Unknown Speaker

Facing intense backlash, Hyakuda later issued an apology, claiming his comments were merely a hypothetical idea.


Unknown Speaker

He then stated that they were meant to spark discussion within the framework of a science fiction storyline and that he did not personally support these ideas.


Unknown Speaker

What do you think about Hayakuda's remarks?


Unknown Speaker

Let us know in the comments.


John Jamingo

Okay, backpedal.


John Jamingo

Back pedal.


John Jamingo

Back pedal.


John Jamingo

Oh, they can vote.


John Jamingo

Oh, I up.


Duchess

Only kidding.


Duchess

Jinx.


Duchess

You know what I think?


Duchess

I think after 30, out with the uterus.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

So again, I don't understand.


John Jamingo

I didn't see.


Duchess

You can't get married after 25 and.


John Jamingo

You educate them either, right?


Duchess

You can't.


Duchess

Well, I understand they're not educated.


John Jamingo

Oh, for fuck's sake.


Duchess

Okay, well, what I'm saying is it takes them out of the workforce and makes them more domesticated.


Duchess

You know, they used to be on.


John Jamingo

Their feet like a dog.


John Jamingo

Like, domesticated.


John Jamingo

Why would you.


John Jamingo

Why would women like a dog domesticated?


Duchess

Well, because they're not out in the work.


Duchess

Out in the working world, you know, they're not out doing.


John Jamingo

You have a problem with women working?


Duchess

I.


Duchess

What do I Jap.


Duchess

I don't have a problem with women working.


Duchess

I didn't start mine.


Duchess

I'm telling you.


Duchess

What.


Duchess

Yakimodia Mushishishi over there.


John Jamingo

Mitsubishi.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

Just because I'm a guy all of a sudden, that makes me.


John Jamingo

Well, you're spinning it, so I'm not.


Duchess

Whoops, sorry.


John Jamingo

Play it again.


Duchess

No, I'm trying to get it.


Duchess

Sorry, sorry, Chari.


Duchess

No, I'm just saying that he.


Duchess

I guess he feels if they aren't educated, like, if they're not becoming doctors and engineers and whatever you women think that you want to do, accountants, that you can be at home, you know, making dinner and taking care of the children and God couldn't wait.


Duchess

Like God.


Duchess

Like God intended.


John Jamingo

Drool.


John Jamingo

Oh, my God.


Duchess

Just saying.


John Jamingo

In your little universe, I'm.


Duchess

Sure just, you know, back in the day and not even that long.


Duchess

Well, I was going to say it's like 60 years ago.


Duchess

That was the.


Duchess

That was what?


John Jamingo

That's a long time ago for some people.


Duchess

It is for some of our listeners, that's.


John Jamingo

That's a life.


John Jamingo

That's lifetime.


Duchess

That's their grandparents as soon as I.


John Jamingo

Said it, it's your lifetime ago.


Duchess

As soon as I said it, I was like, I get it.


John Jamingo

But you know, back in my day, 30s.


Duchess

Okay, here's the thing.


Duchess

I have a great idea.


Duchess

This is a great idea to help this along.


Duchess

What you do is you make affordable housing for small.


Duchess

For families that want to start.


Duchess

You could give them like tax breaks and make it where the wife doesn't have to work until the children go to school.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

So they can stay home.


Duchess

Look, here's the deal.


Duchess

And I'm sure you went through this too when you were.


Duchess

I don't know that.


Duchess

I don't even.


Duchess

I have no idea.


Duchess

So I'm not even going to say it was you.


Duchess

I'm going to use myself as an example.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

My ex wife went back to work and all she did was spend money.


Duchess

All her money went to daycare because the kids went to preschool.


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

And, and all that.


Duchess

So why not just stay home and raise your kids?


Duchess

You know, you just.


Duchess

How much money are you really?


John Jamingo

Well, at that point, if you're working to pay daycare, if you're.


Duchess

Yeah, that's what I'm saying is that, that's what happens now.


John Jamingo

Disgrace, by the way.


John Jamingo

But yeah, it's also sometimes for sub park hair.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

Also I think that if you get pregnant by a guy.


Duchess

Whatever happened to shotgun weddings?


Duchess

When did that go out of style?


Duchess

What?


John Jamingo

The guy didn't want.


John Jamingo

Doesn't want to get married.


John Jamingo

What if he doesn't want to take care of the kid?


Duchess

You know what?


John Jamingo

Why you trap him into it.


Duchess

You slipped one past the goalie, dude.


Duchess

Oh, now, now you're in a penalty box.


John Jamingo

Okay, so now that works conveniently.


John Jamingo

Okay, so, all right, so if a 15 year old gets pregnant, she should get married.


Duchess

Yes.


John Jamingo

Okay, so she should get married and have kids and.


Duchess

Yes.


John Jamingo

And be a baby factory.


Duchess

Well, I don't know about a baby.


John Jamingo

Factory, but I mean to suit this gentleman's needs.


Duchess

Why is it to suit the gentleman's feet?


John Jamingo

See, again, he's the one that proposed it.


John Jamingo

It wasn't a woman who said it.


Duchess

What I'm saying is if you're.


Duchess

We're back to the Japanese guy, okay?


John Jamingo

Oh, we're back.


Duchess

Very hard.


Duchess

It's very hard to figure out where.


John Jamingo

We'Re going with this.


John Jamingo

That was the topic, that was the question.


Duchess

No, I changed it.


Duchess

I said that, you know, now we're not sure we're on shotgun weddings now.


John Jamingo

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you'd want me to answer the Questions?


Duchess

No, I did.


Duchess

I thought we answered that.


Duchess

Now we're moving on.


Duchess

No.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

I thought we were having more discussion.


Duchess

All right, well, hang on.


Duchess

Let's go back to Japan.


John Jamingo

All right.


Duchess

See, back in Japan, they used to bound the feet of the women so they'd stay small so they could try to stay.


Duchess

Have to keep up with the men.


John Jamingo

That was horrible.


John Jamingo

Their feet were that big.


Duchess

I know.


John Jamingo

Bound them like three inches.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

They crippled women because they sleep.


Duchess

I get it.


John Jamingo

So that's good.


Duchess

No, it's very bad.


John Jamingo

No, it was bad.


Duchess

It was very, very bad.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

Very bad.


Duchess

They're trying to figure out.


Duchess

Again, I said that.


Duchess

I think it would make it a lot easier for children.


Duchess

Children.


Duchess

God damn it.


Duchess

For young people.


Duchess

And when.


Duchess

I mean young people, I'm talking 20 or whatever, to go and get married if they were able to have a house and be able to, you know, and be able to afford it, you know, a household.


John Jamingo

So are the options get married, have kids and get low income housing or lose all that if you decide to educate yourself to get a better job, to find something more suitable to your lifestyle and have kids later, say at 26 or 27.


John Jamingo

But apparently this guy says no.


Duchess

Yeah, I don't know.


John Jamingo

You don't have them by 30, you gotta have your uterus ripped down.


Duchess

Yeah, Right.


Duchess

You have to be married by 25.


Duchess

So if you're not married by the time you get out of.


John Jamingo

You can't get married at all.


Duchess

You can't get married at all.


John Jamingo

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.


Duchess

So then, so wait a minute.


John Jamingo

So you can't get married to people to get married?


Duchess

Right.


Duchess

So if you can't get married, then why you let them have their uterus still?


Duchess

You should just take the.


Duchess

At 25, you can't get married.


Duchess

You don't need your uterus anymore.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

Well, why not just snip the dude's nuts when they're 25?


John Jamingo

Why do the women have to lose eating?


Duchess

Okay, I'm with you on there.


Duchess

Why not?


John Jamingo

Hey, listen, he didn't suggest that.


Duchess

If you can't get a wife by the time you're 25, you're undateable.


Duchess

So we neuter you, we snip your nuts and then you can go around and shoot.


Duchess

Stop your bloodline, you can shoot blanks, and that's it.


Duchess

And then what happens is then it's more of a motivation to have children early.


John Jamingo

It's a motivation to settle is what that is.


Duchess

A motivation to settle?


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

Okay.


John Jamingo

You don't find your ideal person.


John Jamingo

And some people, I mean, it's not like Japan has 12 people and then you gotta find one of them.


John Jamingo

There's a lot of people, let's be real.


Duchess

A lot of times it takes three or four times to find the right person.


Duchess

So what do you want from me?


Duchess

Japan, China, South Korea does not have the room to build more homes like America does.


Duchess

Oh, okay.


John Jamingo

Skyscrapers.


Duchess

You get an apartment, move up, moving on up.


John Jamingo

Literally, literally.


John Jamingo

Skyscrapers.


Duchess

You know, over in China, they built all these skyscrapers because they didn't really have work for people.


Duchess

So they decided, oh, we'll build these skyscrapers.


Duchess

Buildings, yeah, all these, this housing and all.


Duchess

And then nobody, nobody used them.


Duchess

They didn't have anybody to put in them.


Duchess

So what did they do?


Duchess

They just, they just knocked them all down not that long ago and build.


John Jamingo

Them back up again.


Duchess

What a big waste of money.


Duchess

Yeah, well, you know, it was funny in Philadelphia they have the projects, there's, you know, the low income projects and they're just it the filth and scum.


John Jamingo

And we thugs that are out there.


Duchess

You know, when you put an elevator into projects, everything has to be stainless steel, thick stainless steel, and the platform has to be on an angle to the back of the hoist way.


Duchess

And then there's.


Duchess

So when they pee in the elevator, it runs out the back.


Duchess

I'm serious.


Duchess

That's in the code.


Duchess

They have to be on an angle so the pee runs out the back of the elevator.


Duchess

So then what they did.


Duchess

So on top of every elevator has an inspection station.


Duchess

So when you get on top of it, you can run it up and run it down, shut it off.


Duchess

So these animals would get on top of the elevators, put it on inspection, and then it would charge people to go up the.


Duchess

Oh, I'm sorry, you want to take a elevator up with your groceries?


Duchess

$5.


Duchess

So the cops would come in and you had it.


Duchess

So then we had to go in and we had to put these stainless steel boxes on with those round tumbler keys that you, you know, that you see like on what kind of machines?


Duchess

Like candy machines and all that, so.


John Jamingo

Oh, okay, I know you know what I'm talking about.


John Jamingo

Yep.


Duchess

So we had to put them on so they could not get on the top of the elevator.


Duchess

So they couldn't take the elevators out of service and use them.


Duchess

So then what?


John Jamingo

They charge people to live in their own building.


Duchess

So then what they did was they just got in there and said, hey, if you want to get on here, give Me, five hours.


Duchess

You can't get on the elevator.


Duchess

They had people in there doing this.


Duchess

So the one guy said, you know what they should do is they should make these projects out of straw and every three years just set them the fuck on fire.


Duchess

A little burn to the ground and start over.


John Jamingo

Honestly, you may as well.


Duchess

Well, the size of the cockroaches and the size of the rats were unbelievable.


Duchess

And the smell, you'd walk in there and it was just, it was horrible.


Duchess

I, I can smell it now.


Duchess

And I haven't been like, you can taste it.


John Jamingo

Like you just.


Duchess

I haven't been in a project since 1992 and 30 something years ago.


Duchess

I'm serious.


Duchess

It was, it was horrible.


John Jamingo

So that's a shame.


Duchess

I know.


Duchess

But you know, again, if you have a, A place where you can.


Duchess

Young people can have children and raise children, and then if you find some filthy slob that doesn't take care of their house or, you know, you just throw them out of the place, you evict them.


Duchess

There's a certain standard of living that you have to live in to keep this place.


Duchess

You have to keep it clean.


Duchess

You know, look at that.


John Jamingo

Conditions.


Duchess

Yeah, conditions of.


Duchess

Yeah, your conditions of, of having a house there and then you can work and then decide if you want to move out and buy something else, that's fine, but at least it's something.


Duchess

And if you get a big, I don't know, housing a project area building or whatever with the people that are same age and everything, I, you know, you never know.


Duchess

You.


Duchess

I don't know, I just think that, you know, not loud.


Duchess

Not allowing them to marry and cutting their uterus out of 30 is A.


John Jamingo

Oh, that's a little ridiculous.


Duchess

That's a little ridiculous.


John Jamingo

I, it's very extreme and I, it's like it's a fear tactic.


John Jamingo

I don't like that.


John Jamingo

And I feel like again, he's part of the Conservative party, which they, they made sure making made it a point to mention.


John Jamingo

So it's a little extreme.


Duchess

I think it's kind of Handmaid's tale thing.


Duchess

Kind of sort of.


John Jamingo

Yeah, it's creepy.


John Jamingo

I don't like that.


John Jamingo

Nobody should be doing that.


John Jamingo

Like that's, it's, it's.


John Jamingo

Well, I was gonna say certainly in America, but I'm not against the idea of low income opportunities for young couples.


John Jamingo

But where, like, where would you put them?


John Jamingo

Like, you can't.


Duchess

Anywhere.


John Jamingo

Oh, it's a great thought, but you still need to sustain.


John Jamingo

There needs to be work, you need to be able to educate.


Duchess

You have to qualify for this.


John Jamingo

Schools and supermarkets and.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

You have to qualify in certain areas.


Duchess

The guy has to make a certain, the, the, the.


Duchess

The guy has to make a certain amount of money to be able to sustain this.


John Jamingo

By what age?


John Jamingo

I don't know, 20, right out of school.


John Jamingo

So a 20.


John Jamingo

What were you making at 20?


Duchess

At 20 years old, I was making.


Duchess

I was making $7 an hour.


Duchess

20 years old.


Duchess

And that was in.


John Jamingo

So mortgage payment, rent payment, you've been able to pay like $2,000.


Duchess

My first.


Duchess

Wait a minute.


Duchess

So my first place that I rented was $400 a month, and I was making $280 a week.


John Jamingo

Okay.


Duchess

So I was able to live, you know, by myself.


Duchess

I was able to do that.


Duchess

But I'm just saying, if it's making it so, so expensive, it's back like it was in the 1920s, you know, when everybody was.


Duchess

You had three or four generations in the same household because nobody could afford to move out because everything was so expensive after the Depression.


Duchess

That's why they're building so many hotels, because local government is putting families up in them in form of chief housing.


Duchess

Yeah, I don't know.


Duchess

The hotel's a little different.


Duchess

It's only one room.


Duchess

It's not really.


John Jamingo

Well, it's the, you know, it is, but it's, it's all the, the amenities that are in it.


John Jamingo

I'm not mad at the concept of a hotel, but again, is it the government purchasing.


John Jamingo

Who they purchasing it from?


Duchess

No, no, I'm not saying the government.


Duchess

I'm saying you, you built.


Duchess

I don't want the government involved.


Duchess

You put the government involved, this thing goes off the rails immediately.


John Jamingo

So who's in charge of this program?


Duchess

You make, you put it out there where they can, where they charge rent and just.


Duchess

You use.


Duchess

What's that thing called capitalism?


Duchess

You use capitalism to, to build these, these homes.


Duchess

I'm just saying I don't.


John Jamingo

Well, I think that's a very nice idea, but I don't think that's how it would ever work.


John Jamingo

No, I don't think it would work.


John Jamingo

I don't think it would work.


John Jamingo

I don't think at 20, for a young family, we'll say, no, I'm.


Duchess

You're a do.


Duchess

I can't do.


Duchess

Not a can do.


John Jamingo

You're a fantasy man.


Duchess

I'm not a fantasy man.


John Jamingo

To see.


John Jamingo

So you think at 20 that a young couple will say, both of them age 20, she's not going to school.


John Jamingo

There's a baby.


Duchess

She's she's graduated from high school.


John Jamingo

She's graduated.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

She's graduated from high school.


John Jamingo

She's gonna stay home and take care of the baby, which is the.


John Jamingo

Was the outline.


John Jamingo

She's gonna stay home and take care of the baby.


John Jamingo

That means the young man would have to work full time.


John Jamingo

Job, food, rent, car insurance, medical insurance.


John Jamingo

You think he's going to do that with like a $2,000 a month rent?


John Jamingo

How much would he have to make?


John Jamingo

Like, it's one that was like.


John Jamingo

The concept is great, but I don't think there needs to be more to it than they should.


John Jamingo

Just get it.


John Jamingo

I love it.


John Jamingo

I would love my kids to get it.


Duchess

I love the way you put words in my mouth.


Duchess

You've been doing this the whole episode.


Duchess

Put words in my mouth.


Duchess

I never said.


Duchess

You just get it.


John Jamingo

He said you didn't want the government involved.


Duchess

No, I don't want the government involved.


Duchess

But you have to have certain things to qualify.


Duchess

You know, when you buy a house, the government's not involved.


Duchess

You know, there's a.


John Jamingo

Yes, they are.


John Jamingo

If you get a loan.


John Jamingo

They are.


Duchess

I don't think so.


Duchess

Not when I got my mortgage.


John Jamingo

I got a loan.


Duchess

There was no government involved in my mortgage.


Duchess

I went to a mortgage guy, he says, what do you make?


Duchess

And I said this.


Duchess

And the guy says, okay, you qualify for this house.


Duchess

This.


Duchess

This amount of money.


Duchess

Well, I just don't understand this.


Duchess

You're.


Duchess

You're Tom.


Duchess

You're.


Duchess

You're Professor Tom and me all the episode.


John Jamingo

I'm not.


Duchess

I'm really not Professor Duchess over here.


Duchess

Fine.


John Jamingo

It'll be fantasy land.


John Jamingo

And they.


John Jamingo

These kids can just go and get.


John Jamingo

Magically get.


John Jamingo

Get their stuff.


John Jamingo

There you go.


Duchess

Hey, listen, I got about six more years of life left.


Duchess

I don't care what you do after this.


Duchess

Mortgages, but not thinking of property taxes, okay?


Duchess

Listen, we get taxed to death anyhow.


John Jamingo

Maybe we should love for those opportunities.


John Jamingo

By the way, don't get me wrong.


Duchess

We could shrink government.


Duchess

I bet you we could shrink government all the way down, all the way down to local government.


Duchess

You wouldn't need so many taxes.


Duchess

You know, it's funny.


Duchess

Down in South Carolina, taxes are like $400 a year or something like that.


Duchess

It's ridiculous, you know, it's ridiculous.


Duchess

Ridiculously cheap down there.


Duchess

Now you might have to take your own trash to the dump or whatever, but.


John Jamingo

Oh, that's terrible.


Duchess

Well, you put.


Duchess

I don't want do it all the time or, or.


Duchess

Here's the other thing.


John Jamingo

Take your trash to the dump.


John Jamingo

Don't.


Duchess

Or here's the other thing you do.


Duchess

You contract with a, a garbage company and they come every week and they, they take your trash down.


Duchess

It cost you like $35.


Duchess

Or I forget, how much is 35?


Duchess

70.


Duchess

It's like $150 a month to get your trash taken.


Duchess

And there's like different mine down to.


John Jamingo

The curb and they just goes away.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

And how.


Duchess

What's your taxes?


John Jamingo

That's fine.


John Jamingo

I'm not mad at my town taxes.


Duchess

I am.


John Jamingo

I will be.


John Jamingo

Now the taxes are going up because our local mayor is an asshat.


John Jamingo

But.


John Jamingo

Well, he.


John Jamingo

There were opportunities to reduce the town debt and he did not take them.


Duchess

Huh.


Duchess

Yeah, exactly.


John Jamingo

So he's a putz.


John Jamingo

But no, I, I, we have, we have a lot of amenities in our town.


John Jamingo

I'm not unhappy with what we have because I see neighboring towns that don't have what we have and they pay.


John Jamingo

I've seen what their taxes are, and it's a lot.


John Jamingo

It's a lot.


Duchess

There's certain.


Duchess

There's certain.


Duchess

There's got to be a limit.


Duchess

There's got to be a limit.


Duchess

Stop.


Duchess

You know, so many hands in your pocket.


Duchess

You got the federal government, state government, local government, sales tax, property tax.


Duchess

You know, it's ridiculous.


Duchess

They're just income tax.


Duchess

And then not only that, Social Security tax.


Duchess

Yeah, right.


Duchess

Not only that.


Duchess

But then they just start giving it out like they're fucking Santa Claus.


Duchess

You get a billion, you get billions.


Duchess

You get billions.


Duchess

They're giving it.


Duchess

It's like, what the fuck?


John Jamingo

Foreign countries, you get billions.


Duchess

Yeah, they're just giving it out here.


Duchess

Hey, Biden goes to Africa.


Duchess

You know what you, you know what you blacks need?


Duchess

You need a billion dollars.


Duchess

Build you some low income taxing here.


John Jamingo

So ridiculous.


John Jamingo

Stop giving her money.


John Jamingo

He needs.


John Jamingo

Like, as soon as you lose in your election, you should be stopped from donating, from giving money away.


John Jamingo

Like, stop it.


John Jamingo

Because now it's intentional, right?


Duchess

He's like, give it this way.


Duchess

He's that away.


Duchess

He's.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

What did he do today?


Duchess

He did something the other day.


Unknown Speaker

Croy.


John Jamingo

Isn't he that.


Duchess

Yeah, but he went somewhere and.


Duchess

I'm sorry.


Duchess

He went somewhere and he was given money away or.


Duchess

No, he's screwing.


Duchess

I.


Duchess

Damn it.


Duchess

I just popped.


Duchess

It was in my head for about two seconds and it just flew out like a moth.


Duchess

It was like, just flew out of my head and now I can't remember what it was.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

God damn it.


John Jamingo

Changing the subject now.


Duchess

God damn it.


Duchess

I can't remember.


Duchess

I hate when that happens because I had this one point.


Duchess

He did something that Clinton, Harris and Biden.


Duchess

I'm sorry.


Duchess

And Obama, he did something that was kind of screwing him.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

And I forget what it was.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

But it's not him.


Duchess

It's not him.


Duchess

It's probably people in his administration that are pissed off that now they're losing their jobs.


John Jamingo

Yeah, that's all right.


John Jamingo

They'll collect unemployment.


John Jamingo

They'll make money.


John Jamingo

Money.


John Jamingo

They'll get hired by the next Democrat.


Duchess

They're mad.


Duchess

They're all mad.


Duchess

And they got to figure out how to.


Duchess

Because their messages isn't going well.


Duchess

So now they, they.


Duchess

They got to get a different message.


Duchess

And.


Duchess

And this is how they're.


Duchess

They're going about it right here.


Duchess

Watch this.


John Jamingo

Young boys are turning conservative.


John Jamingo

We need you to influence them.


Duchess

Straight, white, left leaning, millennial man.


John Jamingo

I thought I was supposed to take.


Unknown Speaker

A back seat so that more marginalized voices could be heard.


Duchess

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.


John Jamingo

What do you want?


John Jamingo

I want immunity.


Unknown Speaker

I want to say things are gay and I want to make jokes.


Unknown Speaker

And if I make a joke, I want you to think about what the joke actually means instead of getting scared of the words.


Duchess

Okay, you got a deal.


John Jamingo

I'm not finished.


Unknown Speaker

I want you to stop using the word mansplain and stop comparing men to bears.


John Jamingo

Anything else?


Unknown Speaker

Louis ck he's my favorite and he has good things to say.


Duchess

What's that sound?


Unknown Speaker

Is that the Department of Education being defunded?


Duchess

Okay.


Duchess

Okay.


John Jamingo

People can like what they want to.


Duchess

Like, and we'll stop using our perceived.


John Jamingo

Moral superiority to be cruel to others.


Duchess

Cool doing out here anyway.


John Jamingo

I was just pretending to chop wood.


John Jamingo

It's not so wrong.


Duchess

That's what happened.


John Jamingo

I'm mad at that.


John Jamingo

That is.


John Jamingo

It is.


John Jamingo

It's ridiculous.


Duchess

I know.


John Jamingo

Nuts.


Duchess

I mean, they're still picking on poor old Elon.


Duchess

They're still going after him.


John Jamingo

President Elon.


Duchess

President Elon.


John Jamingo

I love that.


John Jamingo

That's great.


John Jamingo

Like, that's what they're trying to do is scare people.


John Jamingo

It's President Elon.


Duchess

Really?


Duchess

How does this happen?


Duchess

That a guy, that a voter actually does something and, and puts it out and then people, influencers listen.


Duchess

Listen to them.


Duchess

Like, like Taylor Swift and.


Duchess

And what's her name that was out there singing during the halftime show?


Duchess

Beyonce.


John Jamingo

Beyonce.


Duchess

How did that go?


Duchess

I couldn't.


Duchess

I wouldn't.


Duchess

I wasn't going to watch.


John Jamingo

Honestly, that performance was very well done.


Duchess

Was it?


John Jamingo

I mean, I don't give a.


John Jamingo

About her music.


John Jamingo

I don't care either way.


John Jamingo

But she did a great job.


John Jamingo

Her daughter came out at the end.


Duchess

Oh really?


Duchess

How old is her daughter?


John Jamingo

Beautiful.


John Jamingo

Yeah, she must be like 15 or 16.


Duchess

Oh, really?


John Jamingo

Really pretty young lady.


John Jamingo

J.


John Jamingo

Jay Z wasn't there.


John Jamingo

Shocking.


John Jamingo

I'm not sure why he's hiding.


Duchess

He's heading out of the country.


John Jamingo

I know.


John Jamingo

Like I'm not getting arrested because of Diddy.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

I'll be in Europe.


John Jamingo

Hiding, Hiding with.


John Jamingo

Was it Ellen Degenerate and Ellen Degenerate.


John Jamingo

Intentional.


Duchess

Okay.


John Jamingo

And.


John Jamingo

And Tom Hanks and all the other celebs that have like sneaking out of the.


Duchess

They're terrified.


Duchess

They're terrified that those lists are coming.


John Jamingo

Out and you know something happening.


Duchess

If you talk to somebody that's not a Trump supporter, like he'll never let them out because he's on the list.


Duchess

Well, let's find out.


Duchess

Yeah.


John Jamingo

Degenerates in England.


Duchess

I said they're still.


Duchess

They're asking Republicans about Elon Musk.


Duchess

They just want somebody to just say something against them and it's not happening.


Duchess

How do you feel about Elon Musk.


John Jamingo

Kind of getting involved in politics?


John Jamingo

From a backhanded way it seems.


Duchess

I love it.


Duchess

I think everybody should be involved in politics.


Duchess

This place works best if people are involved, that they're paying attention, they're fully engaged, holding us accountable, keeping us like kind of where we need to be.


Duchess

I think you're safe.


Duchess

Byron.


Duchess

There's a.


Duchess

There's a.


Duchess

Is that because he's black?


Duchess

Is that why he's safe?


Duchess

I don't know.


John Jamingo

I think Byron Donald is.


Duchess

I know, me too.


Duchess

I like him.


Duchess

He's one of the good ones.


John Jamingo

I keep.


John Jamingo

I hope he keeps good.


Duchess

Politician, Republican.


John Jamingo

Okay.


John Jamingo

So I hope he continues to move up the ladder.


John Jamingo

I know.


John Jamingo

I heard what you said.


Duchess

You can't prove it.


Unknown Speaker

Yeah, you're good.


Duchess

I mean, listen, the system doesn't work if everybody's not paying attention.


Duchess

That's what got us into the mess.


Duchess

No, that's true.


Duchess

So we're in this mess now.


Duchess

36 trillion massive agencies that don't do what they're supposed to do.


Duchess

Because listen, America, best country in the world.


Duchess

Most of our people have been focused on their lives, building their businesses, built great in their families and it's all great stuff.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

But the federal government in Washington has been operating without much of a check from the American people.


Duchess

Love the Elon's involved.


Duchess

We got to keep that going because that's how you save the Republic.


Duchess

Right?


John Jamingo

You know what?


John Jamingo

Why not?


John Jamingo

What's going to Happen.


John Jamingo

They're not paying them.


John Jamingo

They're not paying Vivek.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

Oversight is good.


John Jamingo

I like people to look at shit.


John Jamingo

That bill alone.


John Jamingo

Ridiculous.


Duchess

And they're so mad at it.


Duchess

They're so mad.


Duchess

And Dreamy Mike Johnson.


Duchess

I'm sorry, but he's just as good for Dreamy Mike.


Duchess

Culpable as the rest of them.


John Jamingo

He is.


Duchess

He was involved.


John Jamingo

Well, I still think there's something that we are not aware of because there's no way he's in a text group messaging thing with Elon and Vivek and then tried to pull.


John Jamingo

So he.


John Jamingo

There's.


Duchess

I think he did.


John Jamingo

There's.


Duchess

I think he did.


Duchess

I don't think.


Duchess

I don't think he thought that they were going to read that bill.


Duchess

And when he read that bill, he was like.


Duchess

And he's a Christian man, you know, and he doesn't drink, smoke, or.


Duchess

He only cusses when it slips out.


John Jamingo

Well, that's a damn shame.


Duchess

And he said, what did they do?


Duchess

Homework's on the phone.


Duchess

Mitch, they read the fucking bill, huh?


Duchess

What are we gonna do now?


John Jamingo

Who's Mitch?


Duchess

He.


John Jamingo

Mitch should have left 20 years ago.


John Jamingo

Pelosi on one arm and all the dipshits from California.


John Jamingo

Was it that Maxine Waters.


John Jamingo

Oh, my God, she's gotta go.


Duchess

I'm telling you right now, what they should do is at the beginning of the session, everybody at a certain age.


Duchess

Let's make it 60.


Duchess

Has to take a cognitive test.


John Jamingo

Just you stumbling over that.


John Jamingo

I'm still letting you hang.


Duchess

I was trying to figure a word.


John Jamingo

Cognitive.


Duchess

I was trying to figure a word.


Duchess

I was going to say.


Duchess

What's the.


Duchess

I wanted to say.


Duchess

I had like three words and none of them came out right.


Duchess

I was going to say cognac.


Duchess

A cognac test.


Duchess

I wanted to say cognac and I couldn't figure out the fucking word.


John Jamingo

Kanye test.


Duchess

Yeah, they have to take a Kanye test.


John Jamingo

Bob says Elise Feinstein had the.


John Jamingo

The decency to die.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

But they would still wheel their out there and she starts giving a speech and they're like, no, no.


Duchess

Yes or no?


Duchess

Just say yes.


Duchess

Yes.


John Jamingo

Who they give her seat to?


Duchess

I don't know.


John Jamingo

Immediately.


John Jamingo

I forgot.


Duchess

I forget.


Duchess

I don't know.


Duchess

But it's, you know, it's ridiculous.


John Jamingo

Here's a spa thought from Sparky.


John Jamingo

It says, has anyone thought of how the Dems have no problem with killing babies, but they have an issue with killing those on death row?


Duchess

Yeah, that's another one.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

Biden.


Duchess

He communicated.


Duchess

He communicated all the death row patients, you know, I need a cognac test.


Duchess

I'll tell you that right now.


John Jamingo

I think you've been having a cognac test.


Duchess

I need a cognac test.


John Jamingo

Sparky says small words.


John Jamingo

Small words.


Duchess

Yeah, small words.


John Jamingo

Oh, my goodness.


Duchess

Sometimes I try to take a word and make it sound like I try to Archie Bunker it for kids back in the 70s.


Duchess

There's a show called all in the Family.


Duchess

And the guy Archie Bunker used to do that with words because he was old.


John Jamingo

He did.


Duchess

You know, Archie Bunker was in his 50s.


John Jamingo

He was even in her late 40s.


John Jamingo

It's so sad when you go back and look, I was like, God damn it.


Duchess

Yeah, I'm older than Archie Bunker.


John Jamingo

So old.


Duchess

Doing this shit.


John Jamingo

Yeah, I'm older than.


John Jamingo

Than Dingbat.


John Jamingo

What do you call her?


John Jamingo

Dingbat.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

You?


Duchess

Dingbat.


John Jamingo

Yeah, I loved her.


John Jamingo

She was so sweet.


John Jamingo

And every once in a while, she came out with some deeper thoughts that you're like, oh, yeah.


Duchess

I mean, I want things to go back to, like, the 80s and the 90s where we can have good TV shows.


Duchess

We have to worry about offending fucking people.


Duchess

And people can talk without qualifying what they're going to say.


Duchess

You know when you say apologizing before you.


Duchess

Yeah, apologizing.


Duchess

Not that there's anything wrong.


Duchess

If you want to do it, it's fine.


Duchess

I hate that shit.


Duchess

Shut up.


Duchess

Just say what you want to say.


Duchess

Like I do.


Duchess

Say what you want to say and take your lumps.


John Jamingo

Canceled.


Duchess

Yeah, take your lumps.


Duchess

That's all.


Duchess

Here's a good.


Duchess

Here's a feel good story.


Duchess

You know Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports?


Duchess

I love his one slice, one bite, Things of videos.


John Jamingo

I do like that he was down by me.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

He comes in, grabs a pizza, opens it up, takes a.


Duchess

Takes a bite, and gives it a score.


Duchess

So it was in Baltimore.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

And he ran into this guy.


Duchess

Watch out for the snow.


Duchess

Still Presidente.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

Oh, he said, watch out.


Duchess

No, I didn't know what the hell he was talking about.


Duchess

Tiny brick oven.


Duchess

That looks good.


Duchess

We have this whole backstory.


Duchess

I didn't let him remake it because we're leaving the city.


Duchess

We're parked illegally.


Duchess

Wow.


Unknown Speaker

The pleasure is all mine.


Unknown Speaker

Nice to meet you.


Unknown Speaker

Nice to meet you, too.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

We're picking up pie.


Duchess

It's utter.


Duchess

Austin.


Duchess

This is unbelievable.


Duchess

Yes, sir.


Unknown Speaker

I gotta make you another one, man.


Duchess

I don't have time.


Unknown Speaker

You don't have time?


Unknown Speaker

I'm sorry.


Unknown Speaker

All right.


Duchess

Okay.


Unknown Speaker

Oh, my God, man.


Unknown Speaker

This Is incredible.


Duchess

Looks great, though.


Unknown Speaker

This is so wild, man.


Unknown Speaker

Can I get a selfie with you?


Duchess

Yeah, of course.


Unknown Speaker

Oh, my gosh, man.


Unknown Speaker

You're like, my hero, bro.


Unknown Speaker

Like, when all these businesses were shutting down and you were, like, doing all those grants and everything, and, like, I was like, man, this guy is a.


Unknown Speaker

Is the deer is the real deal, man.


Unknown Speaker

I appreciate that, man.


Duchess

I'm glad we hit the spot.


Duchess

This guy reminds me of Steel Toe.


Duchess

He looks like Steel Toe.


John Jamingo

He absolutely looks like he'd be related to that.


John Jamingo

Yes.


Duchess

I'm glad you hit it, too.


Unknown Speaker

I didn't even know you were in Baltimore.


Duchess

We just got into the day.


Unknown Speaker

Welcome to Charm City, man.


Duchess

Thank you.


Duchess

I appreciate it.


Unknown Speaker

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Duchess

That's so cool.


Duchess

Wow.


Duchess

This.


Unknown Speaker

You know, one of my.


Unknown Speaker

One of my customers here, she's been tagging because we're getting ready to close.


Unknown Speaker

And she was like, oh, what do you mean again?


Duchess

We're getting ready to close, man.


Unknown Speaker

We can't get our liquor license here.


Duchess

It's been, like, closed forever.


Duchess

Yeah, forever.


Duchess

Forever.


Unknown Speaker

And she was like.


Unknown Speaker

She was like, oh, like, Stool, Presidente can help you.


Duchess

Stool.


Unknown Speaker

He's like, from my hometown.


Duchess

I'm gonna tag him.


Duchess

He's gonna show up.


Unknown Speaker

I was like, well, we're just not making any money, man.


Unknown Speaker

It's been crazy.


Unknown Speaker

The thing is, our politicians gave this market down here their liquor license, but they won't give us ours.


Unknown Speaker

It's been.


Unknown Speaker

It's been crazy, man.


Unknown Speaker

It's been totally crazy.


Unknown Speaker

I immediately thought of her, man.


Unknown Speaker

I was completely blown away.


John Jamingo

Well, stop it so you don't have to play the whole thing.


John Jamingo

So basically, this guy's very chatty.


Duchess

Jesus.


John Jamingo

Very.


John Jamingo

A very nice young man who has a pizza place in Baltimore, apparently very good pizza.


John Jamingo

Dave Portnoy shows up to review it, finds out, as you heard, that the guy's looking to close on Christmas because he's not making any money issues with the city, all that bullshit.


John Jamingo

It was.


John Jamingo

It's a long, long video.


John Jamingo

It's like a five minute video.


John Jamingo

Five or six minutes, right?


John Jamingo

It's on our X feed.


John Jamingo

I put it up, I think Christmas Eve or Christmas Day even.


John Jamingo

And it is a warm, fuzzy video.


John Jamingo

If you can get through the whole thing, it is the last.


Duchess

Are you going to tell the story?


Duchess

What happened?


John Jamingo

Well, I'm kind of summing it up.


John Jamingo

I didn't think you were going to play the whole video.


John Jamingo

So basically, Dave Portnoy rated his pizza, thought it was good, and then asked him what did he need?


John Jamingo

He went back inside, asked him what did he need?


John Jamingo

And the guy didn't even have a number ready.


John Jamingo

Finally came up with a number and Dave Portnoy said, deal done.


John Jamingo

You got it.


Duchess

$60,000.


Duchess

He's giving him $60,000 to so he can keep the place.


John Jamingo

That guy was stupid, stunned.


John Jamingo

And he's a young, He's a veteran, trying to keep this thing going.


John Jamingo

Feeding the homeless, providing meals for people as they, as they need them.


John Jamingo

Like one of those, like, pay ahead sort of opportunities where if you want to pay for a meal for somebody.


John Jamingo

So the guy really does a lot of good in the community and not only with the businesses.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

And not only that.


Duchess

He, he, right now there's.


Duchess

He has so much business, he can't even keep up.


Duchess

Right now people in the community are ordering pizza from him.


Duchess

So it is a good, feel good story.


Duchess

But my God, that guy can talk.


Duchess

Jesus Christ.


Duchess

He talks and says.


John Jamingo

I think he was so excited that Dave Port and I walked in literally like a couple days before.


John Jamingo

Well, wouldn't you chatter?


John Jamingo

I mean, you'd be nervous.


John Jamingo

These guys seemed a little nervous maybe.


Duchess

I don't think I would.


Duchess

I think I would get to the point.


Duchess

No, I think I would.


Duchess

Listen, I'm a seasoned podcaster.


Duchess

I know how to talk.


John Jamingo

Yes.


Duchess

I might not be able to.


Duchess

I might not pronounce words correctly, but I sure do know how to talk.


Duchess

One thing I can do.


John Jamingo

Not so pretty.


Duchess

But I can get to the point.


Duchess

No, I, I think that's great.


John Jamingo

Again, it was a, It's a very nice video.


John Jamingo

And it's just, again, it's just the warm fuzzies.


John Jamingo

Because it's so nice to see something good like Dave, he's got tons of money and not that he didn't earn it and, and deserves it, but it's nice that he just like, he said, oh, 60,000.


John Jamingo

And the guy came up with the number and he just, he was just like, done.


John Jamingo

Here's, here's my number.


John Jamingo

Let's set it up.


Duchess

We'll give you 60 grand.


John Jamingo

He liked the pizza enough and he liked the story.


Duchess

And the guy, he gave it a 7.9.


Duchess

You know, it's not really.


Duchess

It's.


John Jamingo

It's a good number for a reheated pizza.


Duchess

Oh, okay.


Duchess

Reheated pizza.


John Jamingo

Because he wouldn't let him make a fresh pie.


John Jamingo

I gotta go.


Duchess

So he, because he does, you know, he's usually for like a real good pizza is like in the eights, like 8, 4, 8, 5.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

7, 9.


Duchess

I was like, that's not a great score.


Duchess

It's an average.


Duchess

I would say it's one of his average scores.


John Jamingo

He qualified it saying it was a.


Duchess

Okay.


Duchess

I didn't, I, I didn't get to the end because a guy wouldn't shut the.


Duchess

Up.


John Jamingo

The guy talks.


John Jamingo

He, he was so excited though.


John Jamingo

He was, he was so happy.


John Jamingo

And it was just, it was nice.


John Jamingo

It was just a nice thing to see.


Duchess

It was a feel good story.


John Jamingo

I like those.


John Jamingo

And, and so Here he said 60k to stay open.


John Jamingo

He was fair.


John Jamingo

He didn't get greedy because he didn't say like, oh, 100 grand.


Duchess

Yeah, you know, that was good.


John Jamingo

But Google head says I too have a failing pizza place and need $60,000.


John Jamingo

Me too.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

You know what you do?


Duchess

You go over to, you go over to the supermarket and you buy because Portnoy has his own pizza brand, I think it's called.


John Jamingo

Oh, does he?


Duchess

Yeah, yeah.


Duchess

It says frozen pizza.


Duchess

You go buy them and you heat them up and you get 60 grand for that.


Duchess

You buy his pizza.


Duchess

It's a profit deal.


Duchess

Huh.


John Jamingo

Do you know what brand?


John Jamingo

I have no idea.


Duchess

It's his own brand.


Duchess

He has his own brand.


Duchess

What's it called?


Duchess

It's called One Bite.


John Jamingo

Oh, I have no idea.


Duchess

Hang on.


John Jamingo

No, that's fine.


Duchess

I want to give it a go.


Duchess

I'll give it a goo.


John Jamingo

Okay, give it the googs.


John Jamingo

He came down to Long beach island and raided one of the Surf City pizza places.


John Jamingo

And they were very excited about it.


John Jamingo

They did pretty good because you know, as soon as they pick the pizza up and you see it like bend, I'm like, oh, it's got the flop.


Duchess

Yeah, it's no good.


John Jamingo

No flops.


John Jamingo

Gotta have good.


Duchess

He's got another one.


Duchess

One Bite pizza.


Duchess

It's called One Bite Pizza.


Duchess

Yeah, and it's a, it's in your frozen.


Duchess

It's in your frozen food section.


John Jamingo

That goes against what he does for the pizza places, like go support local pizza places or buy my frozen pizza.


Duchess

But if you don't want to go out and you want a good frozen pizza, just buy my One Bite frozen pizzas.


John Jamingo

See, I started following him a little bit more when he got that the, the rescue dog that does Peaches, I think it's name, the dog's name is okay.


John Jamingo

And he, he like, I don't know how the process was, but I think he wasn't expecting to get a dog and now got a dog.


John Jamingo

And this dog is spoiled rotten.


Duchess

Of course it is.


John Jamingo

And she.


John Jamingo

Oh good.


John Jamingo

Well, he loves the dog.


John Jamingo

So it's, it's just funny to, to see him.


John Jamingo

Like the dog comes in all the videos, all the videos and it's just, it's fun.


John Jamingo

I miss my dog.


John Jamingo

So are you getting.


Duchess

Not getting another dog?


John Jamingo

Not yet.


John Jamingo

We're not home enough.


John Jamingo

I feel bad, okay.


John Jamingo

I don't want to get a dog and then we're not home to play with it, take care of it.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

It's a chunk of my time.


John Jamingo

I'm not here.


John Jamingo

Paul's not here.


Duchess

You're an empty nester now.


John Jamingo

Yeah, I'm out and about, man.


John Jamingo

I got shit to do.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

Places to go, people to see.


Duchess

Yes.


Duchess

You've already raised your kids.


John Jamingo

Yeah, okay, I'll take.


Duchess

I get it.


John Jamingo

Oh, Bruce.


John Jamingo

Ain't nothing like a California west coast pizza.


John Jamingo

Yeah, you can keep it.


Duchess

You keep that garbage.


John Jamingo

Keep that tomato pizza.


Duchess

Tomato soup on dough on crackers.


John Jamingo

Jersey is the best pizza.


John Jamingo

Better in New York.


John Jamingo

I would say if anybody competes with us, it would be New York pizza.


Duchess

Right?


John Jamingo

I would, I would say we are neck, neck to neck on that.


Duchess

All right, so we don't have a.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

The rest.


Duchess

As a restaurant manager for over a decade, it is part of the gig to talk to customers.


Duchess

Yeah, I understand, Adam.


Duchess

I understand that.


Duchess

It's.


Duchess

Talk to them.


Duchess

But just don't keep repeating yourself.


Duchess

It makes you.


John Jamingo

Hi, Adam.


Duchess

You start to.


Duchess

You start to get.


Duchess

You start to recoil as a customer if a guy walks out and says, hey, how's the pizza?


Duchess

Good.


Duchess

And, oh, you know something?


Duchess

Just keep it going.


Duchess

You just keep repeating yourself.


Duchess

You look stupid.


John Jamingo

It's a trick to make it seem like your food isn't taking as long.


John Jamingo

If you're providing conversations station.


John Jamingo

And that's correct because otherwise you're just standing there blinking at each other.


John Jamingo

So you keep.


John Jamingo

You talk.


John Jamingo

How you doing?


John Jamingo

And it's Dave Portnoy.


John Jamingo

So he's going to talk to him.


John Jamingo

He's probably starstruck.


Duchess

I have some stupid.


Duchess

Yeah, you pretend like you've been there before.


Duchess

Just saying.


John Jamingo

Been there before where?


John Jamingo

Pretend like people know who he.


Duchess

Pretend like you've been there before.


Duchess

Pretend like it's not a big deal that he's there.


Duchess

I'm a.


Duchess

Okay, all right.


Duchess

Day, poor night walks in.


Duchess

Dave, big fan.


Duchess

Love to have you here.


Duchess

Listen, I would like to make a real new pie for you.


Duchess

All right?


Duchess

Let me reheat a pie.


Duchess

You have to give me something.


Duchess

And then I'm glad you're here because if you're here next week we're going to be closing and he asks whatever and Then you know, not just repeating yourself, rubbing your hands on your.


Duchess

I didn't know whether to give him a pizza or steal second base.


John Jamingo

Did you Monday morning quarterback this poor guy talking to Dave Portnoy?


Duchess

Yeah.


John Jamingo

So it's so easy to watch and go like, wow, he's really chatty.


Duchess

He's very true.


John Jamingo

He's more like Aaron than you thought.


John Jamingo

I said that Google head says let the man stim.


John Jamingo

Absolutely.


John Jamingo

Oh, they poured out here.


John Jamingo

Yeah, he was.


John Jamingo

He was rubbing that apron.


John Jamingo

He was so nervous, that poor guy.


John Jamingo

I'm sure looking back, he's probably like, oh my God.


John Jamingo

I didn't.


John Jamingo

Shut up because that's.


Duchess

He's embarrassed.


John Jamingo

I'm sure he is.


John Jamingo

But at least he's able to stay open and I'm very happy about that.


John Jamingo

I hope he gets his liquor Liz license.


John Jamingo

You can go to his.


John Jamingo

If you get to the end of the video, there's a link where you can sign your name and click for a thing to get him.


John Jamingo

See if he get him to get on the list to get his liquor license.


John Jamingo

So.


Duchess

But you're not in bal.


John Jamingo

Why not?


Duchess

I get it.


Duchess

All right.


Duchess

Do you want to do here we can do I have a couple.


Duchess

Am I the.


Duchess

That is about Christmas?


John Jamingo

Oh, absolutely.


John Jamingo

Are they train wrecks?


Duchess

Well, here's one I would really like to go to because it kind of hits home for me.


Duchess

Okay, all right, here we go.


Duchess

Am I the asshole for telling my wife I don't want to spend Christmas with her family every year?


Duchess

My wife, 28, female.


Duchess

My wife comes from a very close knit family.


Duchess

Every single Christmas we spend the holidays with her parents, sister and her sister's family.


Duchess

It's always the same.


Duchess

Wake up at the at their house, open presents, big lunch and an evening spent playing board games.


Duchess

Don't get me wrong, I love our family.


Duchess

The tradition is nice.


Duchess

But here's the issue.


Duchess

In the six years we've been married, we've never had a Christmas.


Duchess

It's just us or even one with my side of the family.


Duchess

My parents live across the country and traveling to see them during the holidays is expensive.


Duchess

So we usually do end up visiting them at another time.


Duchess

This year I suggested we do something different.


Duchess

I wanted to spend Christmas with just the two of us and our daughter at home or even go to my parents for once.


Duchess

My wife immediately shut it down, saying Christmas is meant to be spent with her family and would break their hearts if we didn't come.


Duchess

When I pressed the issue, she said I was being selfish for not valuing the Traditions that are important to her.


Duchess

And I told her it feels like her family's feelings always come first and that I want to start some of our own traditions, even if it's just every other year.


Duchess

Now that she's upset and told me I've ruined the holiday spirit, her parents even got wind of the conversation.


Duchess

Wonder how that happened.


Duchess

Not sure how.


Duchess

And are now saying they don't know if they did.


Duchess

They don't know what they did to make me feel unwelcome?


John Jamingo

No.


Duchess

Am I a jerk for wanting to switch things up for Christmas or should I just accept that her family's.


Duchess

Her family's traditions are the total.


John Jamingo

She's a total.


John Jamingo

How dare you.


John Jamingo

Well, well, okay, so it's in the six years we've been married.


John Jamingo

So that means she was 22 and he was.


Duchess

She's 28, so.


Duchess

So they got married at 22 for the.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

So.


Duchess

Well, six years they've been together.


Duchess

Six years.


Duchess

We don't know how.


Duchess

The kid's five, so I would imagine.


John Jamingo

Okay, well, they said for the six years we've been married.


Duchess

Oh, okay.


Duchess

I'm sorry.


John Jamingo

Okay, so that means they got married kid right away and they don't.


John Jamingo

They've never had Christmas in their own home?


Duchess

No.


John Jamingo

See, so the way we did it, because when we were sans kids and either living together and or married, like it got to the point it was just.


John Jamingo

We were, we were able to travel.


John Jamingo

So whoever had the baby, like at that point where there's nobody here, but my sister in law would come out from California and she'd go to my mother in law.


John Jamingo

So we'd go to my mother in law's, do Christmas dinner.


John Jamingo

We did Christmas morning with my mom and my grandmother.


John Jamingo

We stopped to see my dad.


John Jamingo

So it was like a whole.


John Jamingo

Every year.


John Jamingo

This is what we did.


John Jamingo

So we visited like dignitaries.


John Jamingo

We started at one house, ended at another.


John Jamingo

So.


John Jamingo

But once we had kids, once we had our eldest, they all came down to us and we, we created our own tradition and then we ended up reworking some other.


John Jamingo

And here's the thing.


John Jamingo

You can celebrate Christmas anytime.


John Jamingo

Just because it's December 25th does not mean you couldn't celebrate Christmas the week before or the week after or just create your own tradition.


John Jamingo

Like it's not.


John Jamingo

People are such dicks.


John Jamingo

Like, stop it.


John Jamingo

So did your kid have Christmas in her own home?


Duchess

Well, when I was dating my ex wife, right the first time that I went for Christmas to her family's house, I was informed that they do Christmas this way every Year they all come to this house that this is, you know, this.


Duchess

And I used to call it the, the seven days.


Duchess

I used to have the seven days.


Duchess

There were seven of them.


Duchess

The seven days of ex wife's family's Christmas.


Duchess

We used to have to go to everybody's house and see everybody's tree.


Duchess

I'm like, it's a fucking tree.


Duchess

It's got lights, it's got Christmas balls.


Duchess

I really don't give a fuck, you know, so you spent every day.


Duchess

Now they've moved away and you know, so that it's not that way anymore.


Duchess

But I understand it, you know, when a family's overbearing and they don't want to share or, you know, we never went to my mother's or anything like that.


Duchess

It was tough.


Duchess

And I used to catch too from my mom.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


Duchess

Because she's like, you know, what's this?


John Jamingo

What am I, chopped liver?


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

And sometimes they would invite my mom to, to the family thing.


Duchess

But I don't know, it's again, it should be where they switch back and forth.


Duchess

It should be in every other year thing.


Duchess

It's only fair.


John Jamingo

I think every other year is completely, completely fair, you know, and why not invite, why not have your own tradition?


John Jamingo

Invite your, your parents to stay with you?


Duchess

You know, it was really weird.


Duchess

This is how we kind of did it with my.


Duchess

When I was a kid, this is how we kind of did it.


Duchess

So Christmas Eve we, We had a huge house.


Duchess

And so Christmas Eve we had, Everybody was open house, anybody wanted to come over, my dad's friends, my mom's friends, our family.


Duchess

It was there.


Duchess

We had food.


Duchess

There was all kinds of food come.


John Jamingo

In and out all day.


Duchess

Yeah, they came in and out all day.


Duchess

And then on Thanksgiving, we would make it.


Duchess

We would go to my mom's, my aunt's on my mom's side for dinner.


Duchess

Or the next year we would go to my uncle's on my dad's side, you know, whatever.


Duchess

But it was like in every other thing, every year thing.


Duchess

But the, the New Year's Eve thing was, was really cool because like, you know, you had your cousins over and it was, you know, I mean, the place, the house was filled with people.


Duchess

It was really fun.


John Jamingo

Awesome.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

So.


Duchess

But that was kind of, that was one way of doing it, or you kind of work it out.


Duchess

But when, when someone sits there and says, oh, we have traditions and this is it and you have to, you know, it's my way or the highway.


John Jamingo

You got to create new traditions.


John Jamingo

There's new people in your family.


John Jamingo

You have to include them.


John Jamingo

Yeah, they have their people.


John Jamingo

So what do you just drop everybody like their piece of.


Duchess

Right.


John Jamingo

You know, it was, it's very.


John Jamingo

It was very difficult.


John Jamingo

It made.


John Jamingo

There were some holidays that I was just like, I don't want to eat another bite of turkey at another house.


John Jamingo

Because we'd start, start with my mom, my grandmother, because of course.


John Jamingo

And then we'd go to my, my dad and then finally went my dad's like, don't eat, don't, don't, don't.


John Jamingo

It's fine.


Duchess

Or you would go to.


Duchess

You would go to one person's house.


John Jamingo

For dinner, dessert at the other, dessert.


Duchess

At the other ones.


Duchess

Yes.


John Jamingo

Yeah.


John Jamingo

It still felt dirty though.


John Jamingo

Like, it's still like, I can only be here for an hour and a half.


John Jamingo

Like it was just.


Duchess

I'm like, where's the pie?


Duchess

Well, we're here on the table.


John Jamingo

Then it was like my mom, my mom.


John Jamingo

My grandmother would eat early and then.


John Jamingo

So by the time we got to my mother in law's, it was a whole nother meal.


John Jamingo

And you know her, her foods were different than what my mom and my grandmother made.


John Jamingo

So of course I got to try some of these.


John Jamingo

And I remember the first year I did that, I was like the next morning, I'm like, I'm so sick.


John Jamingo

Like all these like very rich, bull, buttery.


John Jamingo

I came from my mom, my grandmother's.


John Jamingo

It was all like leaner because everybody had cholesterol issues.


John Jamingo

Not nobody had.


John Jamingo

Well, everybody had cholesterol issues at my mother in law's house because everybody ate butter and gravy and grease and bacon.


John Jamingo

It was delicious.


John Jamingo

But I was sick for like two days afterwards.


Duchess

It's so rich.


Duchess

Well, what's nice now is I'm on the.


Duchess

I'm on the manjaro.


Duchess

So when I go, it's just like a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and all on the next day.


Duchess

I didn't have any problem.


Duchess

Traditions got thrown out.


Duchess

Out when the kids had kids and other in laws involved and spread out.


Duchess

Yeah, spread out all over the.


Duchess

Yeah, it's tough.


Duchess

It's really tough.


Duchess

Just got to make it work, that's all.


Duchess

It's like sex.


Duchess

Try something different and then do anal every other time.


Duchess

Okay, Dean.


Duchess

Yeah.


Duchess

Duchess

John Jamingo

Gotta go slow.


John Jamingo

Well, you gotta hang on to that emergency stop so you can clip it.


John Jamingo

So if you fall, it, like, pops.


Duchess

Like a walker.


John Jamingo

Well, what.


John Jamingo

It.


John Jamingo

It's like a little.


John Jamingo

It's got, like, a safety stop on it, and the one end has a clip, like a little grabber.
