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
When in doubt, tri anal.
Duchess
That's Dean's.
Duchess
That's what?

Duchess
But we would go out and shoot them in the air like retards because they.
Duchess

Duchess

My daughter wants my younger one.
John Jamingo
She was in the house and I had the dishwasher open.
John Jamingo
I was loading it and she tripped and fell and like, just like, great.

Just misses it.
John Jamingo
I was like, oh.
John Jamingo
And then, you know, picked her up and she was fine.

Duchess
Yeah, I'll probably fall off and break my neck, but whatever.
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.
John Jamingo
And you.
Duchess
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Duchess
Yes.
Duchess
It pops.
John Jamingo
