Doing Boss Man Sh!t | Episode 299

All right, you guys, podcast time.

We got the equipment and the perfect business plan.

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

Ready?

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

Hey, everybody.

Welcome in to the Boomer Bunker Monday edition.

How you been?

You miss us?

It seemed like a month since I know.

We did Wednesday and it seemed like a month since we got back.

Boy, all the stuff that happens, you could do a show every day with just a nonsense.

Just a nonsense.

If only, if only, if only we could.

Yeah, I was testing some equipment.

When was that?

This Friday.

When did I do it?

Friday.

That I was testing the equipment.

Riverside, Saturday.

Was it Saturday?

You were there Saturday.

I came in and I came in after my walk.

Yeah, I was whining and bitching and moaning about my life, my burn it all down moment.

You're.

You're a little burn it all down.

Thought maybe you're on your period or something.

Just like I said.

I get.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe it is.

Maybe that's what it is.

Maybe it's just me.

You know those, Just a little emotional.

Said he would tune in every day.

Yeah, see, I mean, I, I, I love it.

I love it, but yeah.

And every once in a while I get in there, crazy salty mood.

But I test my equipment.

Dean tests his equipment every day.

I don't think it's the same kind of equipment.

Dean, his equipment.

Dean's an analog guy.

He's a hands on analog guy.

He's a hands on guy.

Oh, my.

One of the things I want to start doing with my other podcast, Brand X, because we go back all the way to 2016, I want to start taking some of the stories and then just throwing them up since we only record once a month.

And then take some of those stories.

And this week I put up Billy the Clown.

Billy the Clown.

Very funny.

Yeah, it was, it's, it's an eight minute.

It's a quick listen.

Go to.

Just subscribe to Brand X podcast.

Real easy to do and check out Billy the Clown.

But we have.

It's like a lot of those stories where we do like couple crazy things.

I think the next one I'm going to do is where I had a voice changer and that's when I was singing to dirty deeds done dirt cheap in, in the voice of Zig Zog.

Zip tie, whatever.

Zip tie from the planet Zigzag.

You know your bits.

No, no, no idea.

Every time It's a different.

But that's okay.

That's what makes it fun.

So that's why you have to tune in.

You never know what the story is going to be.

Exactly.

So I have a story that I heard, and I said, you know, I'd like to talk about this.

Let's do it.

So there's this radio station, and I think it's called Sewing.

Google in the Morning, Jubal.

In the Morning, Jubal.

Google, whatever.

And they have this thing, it's called the sec.

The Second Date.

Or Tear it Down Tuesday or Whip Them Out Wednesday.

You know, it's one of those Tear it down.

That's like your kind of show.

Tear it.

Burn it down.

Burn it down.

Yeah, Tear it down Tuesday.

So this Saturday, this woman calls and she says, I was ready to get married.

We're there, and then all of a sudden, we can't find the groom.

Nowhere.

We searched the whole place.

He's gone.

I mean, it's the day of the wedding, she's in her dress, everybody's there.

They go, gone.

He skipped.

He skipped.

She couldn't find him when.

I mean, he was gone.

He didn't go back to work or anything like, he was gone.

Gone.

That poor woman.

Oh, my God.

All right, so she calls the radio station.

Oh, no, no.

She hires a private investigator to find this motherfucker.

Because that's how women are.

They will.

They are great detectives.

That is the ghosting of ghosting.

Like, you left her at the altar and vanished.

Yeah.

You know what?

If someone did that to you, you'd want to know what the happened.

Even if you found him so you could beat the out of him.

It's something.

Anything.

He blocked her phone number so she couldn't call him.

So she calls.

She gets a hold of this radio station.

The radio station calls him.

He picks up.

What a dummy.

Okay, so he picks up and he starts out.

And she's like.

And he's like, what happened?

He says, well, I really.

I can't really tell.

And then she.

Because she's listening, she jumps in and she goes, what do you mean you can't tell?

And he says, well, all right, I wasn't supposed to tell.

Whatever.

But the day of the wedding, your father gave me a check for $80,000.

Not to get married.

Not to get married.

80,000.

$80,000.

Right.

And so the groom takes this 80 grand.

He Irish goodbyes out.

What a scumbag.

Right.

Well, dad and the.

Okay, so who.

All right, so you're the bride.

Who are you now?

You just found out you're mad at the groom, right?

Because he took $80,000 he dished you for money, right?

Now, are you mad now?

You found out your dad gave him a check for 80,000?

Who are you mad at?

Who are you mad at?

Dad.

Dad.

Oh, my God.

He.

If that was the love of your life, I wish I knew.

More backstory.

Like I want to know.

Like, why did dad pay him off?

It could be one or two things.

If dad's can.

If dad can write a check for 80 grand, he's probably worth more money.

And maybe dad was make.

Made this test where here.

I'm going to give him a check for 80 grand.

Let's see how he feels about this.

The day of the wedding.

The day of the wedding, he already paid for everything.

Hey, look, you're going to have a party anyhow.

Who wants to have that party?

You can come in the room crying, everybody's looking at you like, loser.

I mean, where's the groove?

When you're expecting to get married and then a half hour later, your whole moment of your life at that time is ruined?

I.

I don't know if I want to go hang out and dance with friends.

You know, it's funny, I never thought about.

It's the big day.

It's the big day.

It's.

Oh, my day.

My big day.

This is my big day as a woman.

I'm.

I'm going to be a bride.

I'm going to be Mrs.

Sound like.

A lovely bride, Mrs.

Douchebag.

First of all, I'm thinking 80 grand, he probably could hold out for a hundred.

Like.

But why did dad pay him?

Why?

I think it was because he wanted to see if he would take the money.

If he takes the money, he really doesn't love his daughter, right?

Would you.

But wouldn't you test him like the week before?

Maybe like the day before?

Like, not literally, as his daughter is standing there losing her shit.

The father never said anything.

Entire family and friends.

I would be.

I would die.

Well, I don't know if the groomsmen knew or not, because they, they were all looking for him.

They all ran around looking for him.

But maybe the guys knew.

He's like, hey, listen, I'm.

I'm skedaddling.

I got an 80 grand check.

You can't say anything.

Listen, you know, bros can't say nothing.

Just.

How do.

Yeah, you got to cash 80 grand out at once.

I need more money than that to leave.

Although I don't.

Look, I don't know how most Men feel when they got married.

But I was the day, like, a week before.

I'm like, what am I doing?

Do I really want to go through with this?

You know, can I get out?

I think everybody has those moments.

Yeah.

Like, I don't know if the day of, somebody would have handed me an $80,000 check.

I don't know if I wouldn't have.

Irish, goodbye.

I had serious, serious doubts when I went to get married that I was making a big mistake.

But then, like every other person, I'm like, well, I already paid.

I already paid for this and paid for that and paid for this.

And then you think to yourself, okay, I just spent $30,000 for everything.

Okay, now fuck it.

How much.

How much would that cost?

How much does divorce cost?

Right?

So is that.

So you gotta weigh it, and then you gotta weigh the rest of your life.

And I was just wondering.

I was like, if someone would have offered me a check for $80,000.

Would I?

Irish, goodbye.

Now, see, here's the problem.

You got to leave your life.

You gotta leave your job.

Like, what kind of job?

Like, what kind of guy has a job where he just gets up and goes, moves out of town, just packs his and goes?

Yeah, I don't.

I don't know how.

There.

There's more.

There has to be more to this story.

Like, dad found something, or this guy's a scumbag and something happened.

Dad's like, 80 grand.

Get the out of here.

Right.

You know?

All right.

Can I.

Can I say with some of the comments, sure.

That's what you're there for.

That's your job.

Well, I don't want to interrupt your story.

I know.

My job is to click comments.

I know.

So Bruce says we.

We see how Ms.

J.

Ms.

Jamingo feels.

That's me.

But says the check bounced.

Maybe.

I don't know.

You know, very sweetly, if you really love someone, no amount of money should sway you.

I agree.

I agree with that.

That.

I agree.

And then Mike says, I would ask dad if I was still allowed to banger before.

So I don't think that would have.

I don't think that would have worked.

I don't think you ask.

Yeah, I think you.

You know, he just.

Irish, goodbye.

And then she hired us, found him, a PI to find this guy.

Like, this guy.

These dudes are probably not hard to find.

Disappeared.

Like, really disappeared.

And 80 grand, you don't disappear forever.

You disappear for, like, maybe a month.

Okay, so you're in your 20s.

Look, you're in your 20s, you got, I don't know, some kind of carpenter job or maybe you're of labor.

Whatever you are, whatever you're doing, you're making, I don't know, $20 an hour, right?

And there's.

And someone gives you 80 grand and says, get out of town.

And you're like, all right, you know, I'm.

I'm gonna skedaddle.

Maybe, I don't know, maybe had family somewhere else or somewhere else could catch on or whatever, and he decided to bounce.

But I'm thinking to myself, he didn't.

Even change his number, stupid ass that he is.

No, no, he did change his number.

Well, she found him.

She had a PI to find him.

Oh, the PI Ran him down, found him, got his new number.

She had called him.

He.

She had blocked her number, I thought with the old number.

Maybe he did okay.

Maybe he did okay.

There's little holes, a couple.

Few holes in the stories.

Because remember, this is told.

Told over radio.

Those holes.

Yeah, it's told over the radio.

You know, they can't go through.

It's not like they have an hour to go through all these little details, right?

But then I'm thinking to myself, how does that daughter go to Christmas dinner family functions when her father ruined her life?

But did he Did, Because.

Well, that's the.

That's the hanging part that we don't know.

Was he a scumbag?

Did he have another wife?

Did he have a family?

Well, let's not get in that.

Here's.

Here's what we know.

He took 80 grand the day of the wedding and skedaddled.

Yeah.

Did he do her a favor if he got skedaddled for 80?

Stop trying to use big, stupid words, John.

If he skedaddled for $80,000, how long do you think he'd actually last in.

In a marriage?

Like, what's this?

So he.

It's one of those things where you.

You teach.

It's.

It's tough love for your child.

I would never do that.

I.

Well, I was going to say, what would you do if this happened to your daughter?

She just got left at the altar like.

Like the day of the wedding.

It's not like he's already paid for everything.

So you're stuck.

The father pays for everything, right?

And he also gives the guy 80 grand and the guy leaves, and he's like, okay, whatever.

Say skedaddle one more time.

Skedaddle.

Shenanigans.

Shenanigans.

He skedaddled because of shenanigans.

I thought it was just like a A shitty thing to do to the.

To the daughter, but it really did something.

So I have a story.

All right, So I have a friend.

You know, when you're in your 20s, everybody's getting married, so it's like.

Like every six months you're in a wedding.

At one time, I think I was the groomsman in, like, 14 weddings.

It's insane.

Ah, too many friends.

I was in, like, three.

I'm done.

Okay.

So my one friend.

I never liked this girl.

I never liked his.

The one.

He.

I hated her.

And.

And I used to say to him, are you sure?

And he's like, no, I love her.

And.

And she was just like this.

She was this uppity.

Just.

She thought she was better than everybody.

And not only did we have to.

It was a wedding, but we had to go out to Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

We.

We went out and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Their camp.

Their summer camp or whatever, the camp before.

What do they call that right before their season?

Training camp.

Jesus Christ.

Training camp.

Training camp was going on while we were there.

All right, so we're there for the weekend, all right, At La Trobe, Pennsylvania, someplace, right?

And up in the.

Where the.

This is.

How good?

So there's a sign that says.

And there's weddings.

It's a big, giant hotel.

And they've got all kinds of.

Just like, three different weddings go there.

So it's.

It's like William and Kate and.

And George and Mary and Renee and Ray.

Congratulations.

Right?

So it's like, guy, guy, guy, woman, guy, woman, woman, guy.

And I'm like.

So we're drinking, like, Friday night.

As we do.

As we do.

And it's on this big, giant billboard sign.

So we're drinking, and I said that I'm not gonna have it.

So we.

Me and my friend climbed up that sign all the way up, got on top of there and switched it to Ray and Renee.

So we're telling Ray, oops, I just said his name doesn't matter.

He doesn't listen.

So we're telling a story.

Sorry, Renee.

She.

She definitely isn't listening.

So we.

We tell.

We're sitting there on Ray's thing.

We're like, dude, what?

No balls?

What are you doing here?

How come it's George and Mary and it's Renee?

You're supposed to be the man.

What's going on?

So we.

The night before, we climb up there, we change everything.

Little do we know, Ray wakes up in the morning.

He's like, yeah, why isn't my name first?

So he goes he goes, I want that changed around.

He goes to the hotel.

People, they sent somebody up there to change it back.

I was like, what the fuck?

How did that get changed back?

She.

The people in the wedding, she ran us around like we were her puppets.

We had to have brunch with them.

We had to decorate the car.

You couldn't put any tape on the car or anything like that.

So I don't want to go to breakfast.

I said, the day of the wedding, I'm hungover.

They're making this big breakfast.

I said, ray, I don't want to go to this fucking breakfast.

He goes, please, please, please.

So we go to this breakfast.

They got all this stuff I can't even eat.

The smell of it makes me want to vomit.

Oh, yeah.

Now we got to decorate the car.

Breakfast where you're just like, yeah, we.

Gotta decorate the car.

She's got them on ropes.

We gotta tie them on there.

Then we gotta drive the car there.

You know me, I got on a highway.

I'm driving 90 mile an hour.

These paper fucking flowers are flying off this car.

When I get there, it's nothing but ropes.

It's just ropes.

There's nothing.

It's like strings on the car.

Douchebag.

I'm so mad.

The.

The morning that I'm in there yelling at Ray that I don't want to go there.

His father offered him $100,000 to leave.

Now, father did not like her.

He hated.

He hated her.

Oh, my God.

A hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand.

This is a hundred thousand figures.

Now.

This is a hundred thousand in 1986.

87.

$100,000.

He went through with it.

They last.

They last about two years.

Then they got divorced.

And then Ray went on a tear.

He went on through women or booze, women.

He went on.

He went on a tear through women.

The next girl he dated was this little short girl who had the biggest big tits I've ever seen in my life.

Short.

But I'm like, oh, my God.

She had the biggest boobs I ever seen in my entire life.

And we would go.

We went down to my boat.

We were water skiing, and she was there in her bikini.

I could.

I was like, are you kidding me?

You're like, I'm not piloting the boat.

I'm watching her.

The hell does she keep those things up?

How do they stay?

I swear to God, it was like two watermelons in a hammock.

It was ridiculous.

Well, but you know what he met.

He met another woman.

I don't know how He.

Where he met her, and they're still married today, and they've got kids and grandkids, and it's a wonderful thing, but the first.

Gotta go through the ugly to get to the good.

A hundred thousand dollars.

He.

He offered his son a hundred thousand dollars.

And I looked at him and I said, I'll drive you.

I'll drive.

Two pumpkins in a blanket.

Yeah, pumpkins in a blanket.

No, that's not what he says.

Puppies in a blanket.

Puppies.

Puppies.

Pumpkins.

I need glasses.

Yeah.

So I just thought that was like, first of all, if I felt that way about the guy my daughter was supposed to marry.

Yeah.

I would have to say, yeah, but.

Would you wait till the day of the wedding?

No.

Like, wouldn't you pull her aside and be like, look.

Yeah, he would have an accident.

Yeah, he would have an.

Here, step into my elevator.

Yeah, he would have an accident.

Something would happen to him.

Something.

Somebody would.

All right, I need.

Can I.

I need to close my door.

Yes, to the room I'm in.

Don't worry.

Of.

Sorry.

I'll vamp until you get here.

You know, when you have a daughter and you're the father, you really have to protect your daughter, so.

And luckily, my daughters, the guys that they're dating are really nice guys.

Really nice protective guys.

So I don't have that kind of issue.

It was one of those things.

All right.

Okay.

Got the door shut.

What's.

What's Paul doing out there?

He's making noise.

Is he.

He's on his way home, so he'll.

Did you put a sock on the door?

Doorknob.

Oh, no.

Oh.

Oh, shame on you.

Sock on the doorknob.

I guess she's busy.

I don't have a doorknob.

Oh, I said that.

What you guys had to do.

Oh, yeah.

Back in the day.

Yeah.

You put a sock on the doorknob.

So.

Especially in colleges, if you went to college, you had a roommate and you had a girl in there, you put a sock on the door.

Doorknob so they would know not to come in.

That's what they said.

Okie dokie.

I believe it.

Yep.

Needs to walk in on any of that.

Yeah, no, you don't want to walk in on that.

That's horrible.

Ridiculous.

Okay, Red.

Says the man who is good enough to take care of my girls hasn't been born yet.

No.

Well, he's.

He's a protective daddy, so.

Okay.

Nothing wrong with that.

It's one of those, like, you know, you clean your guns in the living room and they pick them up like, how you doing?

Done that before.

Done that before?

Yeah.

Mall laid out in front of you, like which one?

Let me test the sights right here.

Yeah.

I don't know if I told the story about the time my daughter.

I probably did.

Red says one of them is married.

Oh.

Oh.

Still I haven't found him.

Poor guy.

That poor son in law.

Poor son in law.

Red just glares at him the whole time.

Just sits in the corner and stares at him like over glasses.

Just.

Yeah, Kubrick thing.

Yeah.

The guy pulls up and beeps the horn.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

And my daughter goes to run out the door and I go, stop.

No, look.

Yeah, he's got to come to the door.

And she goes, well, he doesn't know.

I said, well, let's find out.

If he's smart enough, figure it out.

Yeah, let's see if he's smart enough to figure that out.

And she's like.

And then finally, you know, he beeped again.

And I'm sitting there and she's like, I gotta go out there.

I said, no, no.

Finally he gets outta the car, he's all dog.

Yeah.

He gets out of the car and he comes walking up, he's all mad.

And as soon as he gives like this and I open the door, I said, can I help you?

And he goes, yeah, where's.

Where's Rachel?

I said, I said, I'm sorry.

I said, this is how this happens.

I said, you knock on the door and you say, hello, I'm so.

And so I'm here to pick up Rachel.

Is she here?

And at that point I was like.

And then he sat there and then all of a sudden he kind of snapped to re realize what was going on.

Because at that one point I wasn't sure she was going with him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So here you go.

Red says, you beep the horn at my house, you get your ass beat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't think my daughter's ever had that happen.

I don't recall that.

It was never.

Yeah, it's just you come to the door.

But they didn't start dating until much later, so at least that I.

That I knew of.

Yeah, well, she was either 17 or 18 when this happened.

Yeah, I never forget one time she had like a bunch of.

She had a bunch of friends over and they were down in the basement.

We have finished basement and we're down there and they're making a bunch of noise.

And I got little kids that are trying to sleep.

So I go walking I go walking down, I go, hey, hey, just.

Can you keep it down a little bit?

I said, we got kids at little kids up there trying to sleep.

And the one kid says, oh, come on, old man.

Don't you remember what it was like to be young?

Hold up.

A guest in your house said that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then he said.

And then he said, you know what it's like to play a game?

I said, I certainly do.

I know what it's like to play a game.

I have a game.

See how far I can throw the asshole out the front door and see how far he flies before he hits the ground.

You want to play that game?

And he just looked at me.

I said, because we could play that game right now.

I would have grabbed him and drug him.

I was only.

I was only 40, so I could have grabbed him and just drug him up the steps and throwing him out.

The door of his fucking neck.

Yeah.

Holy.

Stop.

Bruce said, my daughter warned all her boyfriends about me.

Yeah, yeah, that's.

That's not acceptable.

We did not.

If no matter who the girls went out with, they had to come up to the door, there's a girlfriend picking them up, it's like, come inside.

Unless I.

Unless I was out there or I'd made.

Like, I knew who it was and I knew what was going on.

We.

We were involved.

Paul and I had so much going on with it, with all the stuff that we either volunteered with or involved with with the township.

We had one mom drop her son off.

Maura had a party.

So all her friend, like, at the end of the year and senior year, all the friends came over, hanging out in the backyard.

And the moms had said, now these kids are 17 and 18.

Like, and we're not the house that provides booze.

Like, we don't do that, you know, and we just.

It's just way too much to deal with.

Plus everything we're involved in, you know?

So the mom's like, okay, well, are you gonna have any alcohol?

And I literally said, are you kidding?

Are you kidding?

No, of course we're not.

Not for them.

You know, I'll be in the house drinking because I got 20 kids in the backyard I don't even want to look at.

Like, I don't want to deal with them.

They were great.

We had an app they had.

They were actually wonderful.

But it was just.

I'm not giving 17 year old kids booze.

Are you out of your mind?

No, listen.

Yeah, they should be smart enough parents around here too.

I am amazed now at how many then?

Like when my daughter was 17, so she graduated 2014.

So all her friends.

Yeah, but with all the way they sue people now and parents go to jail.

The parents would have parties and those kids would go there and those kids would drink.

It's crazy.

I mean, don't be wrong.

I'm like, that's not worth it.

Well, look, everybody did it.

Yeah.

You wouldn't go.

Yeah, they figured out yourself.

They would provide it.

Oh, no.

I'm like, you're insane.

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

I always, I always threatened to narc on him and I should have.

All right, let's change the subject.

I think we beat that one to death.

The Girl Scouts, they're fired up.

They've had enough.

Are they after.

Because I guess.

Who was that who was talking about the.

Oh, there was that woman that was talking about the Girl Scout cookies being poisonous.

All kinds of things in them.

I'm like, things in everything.

But yes.

So they came out and they said, all Girl Scout cookies are produced in our trusted licensed bakers who are leaders in their industry and adhere to rigor is food safety standards set up by the FDA and other relative authorities.

Relevant.

Authorities.

Relevant.

What did I say?

Relative.

Relative.

They're all related.

This means that all foods using plant based ingredients, including organic foods, may contain trace amounts, according to the blog.

And this does not mean these foods are harmful to consume.

Oh, it's so funny you mentioned Girl Scouts because I went to Walmart this weekend and look what I bought.

They're the worst.

Governments have the worst.

The best.

They have the worst.

They have the biggest amount of poison in them.

That's why they're the most delicious.

And then these are my favorite because they're shortbreads with lemon on the back.

But this is a new one.

What's the new one?

It's caramel chocolate chip.

They're actually gluten free.

Well, people ask.

People ask for them.

And let's see here.

Serving size is 3 cookies with 160 calories.

They look like they have actual real ingredients.

Right.

Some other garbage in them.

I think natural flavor, whatever that is.

Like 55, 55 calories a cookie.

Butter, oil, like oil, butter and oil.

Really?

Oat flour, chocolate chips.

Do they put in the, the bad chemicals that they have in there that they were talking about?

Probably not.

Well, that's probably listed under.

That's probably listed under natural flavors.

It has chickpea flour though.

So I don't know about that chickpea flour, but.

Oh, that's because it's not.

Because it's gluten free.

Yeah.

Right.

So.

But the Girl Scout mission, it's stem, outdoors, life skills, and entrepreneurship.

So I have a nice little message about the Girl Scouts.

Oh, isn't that great?

Yeah.

You know what?

I.

I will support the Girl Scouts.

So I spent 15 on cookies.

How many boxes?

Three.

They're $5 a box.

$5 a box?

Yeah.

There's a decent amount of cookies in here.

Ridiculous.

What are you paying for Keeblers?

It's not any different, is it?

I don't know.

I.

I'll be honest with you.

I honestly don't buy cookies.

I really don't.

It's so long since I bought cookies.

I.

I don't buy them.

I buy Girl Scout cookies.

And if I.

We have cookies, like Liv makes cookies or I make cookies, but says natural flower flavor, our instincts or.

Oh, my gosh, I'm talking, like, you know, insects that fall into a mixer.

I can't read like you.

I can't read like you.

I'm gonna try one of these, see if there's any insects.

Oh, three cookies.

All right, so they're small because they're gluten free.

Okay.

They look tasty.

Not bad.

All right, well, what are you going to say?

Hideous.

No.

Let me try them.

No, you can't do $7 a box in California, man.

Boy, I wish I had Bruce's money.

$70,000 or $70 worth of cookies?

70,000.

Dean loves a good roast beef cookie.

Oh, now, Dean.

Jerk mutton.

Get your mind out of the gutter, Dean.

I don't know if I'd buy these again.

They're not bad, but they're not my favorite.

They're like the chocolate caramel ones.

Yeah, see, it's hard to.

How can you fuck that up?

It's a cookie with chocolate chips and caramel.

It's not my favorite.

But.

Is it because you think it.

Because it's not.

I think the gluten makes it great.

Probably.

But they're okay.

I like.

You know, I'm a big fan of the.

It's like the actual cookie they started with called truffles.

And they're just.

A shortbread cookie is essentially like flour and butter, sugar.

It's like three ingredients.

They're so good.

I like the one with the caramel, the chocolate and the coconut, whatever that's called.

Samoas.

Yeah.

I need Samoas.

Caramel delights is what they call them.

Is that what they call them?

Depending on the bakery.

Well, depending on the bakery, you buy Them.

Okay.

There's two different bakeries, so, yeah, they're pretty good.

Yeah, these aren't bad.

Speaking of New Jersey, Scott Pressler has been running around New Jersey.

He's trying to turn the state red.

Do you want to tell people who Scott Pressler is?

Scott Pressler, as far as I know, he's just a Republican activist who goes.

He's almost like an influencer now, really, I think.

Yeah.

So he goes around, he has town halls, and he talks about what Republicans stand for, and he's trying to get the vote out.

And he flipped Pennsylvania red, basically.

He said blue to red, and now he's in here to New Jersey.

And I'm all for it because now all the New Jersey governor candidates are coming out now.

You know that guy that ran for Senate?

That guy Ed Dirr, the truck driver that beat the incumbent?

Yeah.

Okay.

He's running for governor now.

He's never going to.

I saw that.

Like, okay.

I'm like, yeah, okay.

His big thing is he's going to get rid of property taxes and bring back plastic bags.

I'm like, I might just throw my.

My vote his way just for fun.

He said, was it Ed somebody other?

Ed.

Dirk.

Ed Dirr.

Edur.

Governor.

Governor Durr.

How do you have the Lazar?

That poor man.

So here he is, and I guess he's from the south, and he's a really nice guy.

And he's not much South Jersey, right?

They're nicer down in South Jersey.

Well, he's not much of a cursor.

And he's asking some people some questions here and.

Well, here we go.

Oh, now.

Oh, Scott's from New Zealand.

Beautiful New Jersey friends.

Because we got a saying in the South.

The saying is bless your heart.

You guys know what that means?

I asked my New Jersey friends, I.

Said, guys, what is the New Jersey.

Equivalent of bless your heart?

Go yourself.

Go fuck yourself?

It's also 100% accurate.

You just say it nicer down South.

We just tell you straight up, go fuck yourself.

Yeah, go fuck yourself.

That is so accurate.

I'm gonna remain.

Come on now, Scott, just do it.

Come on.

You gotta get the accent down, Scott, you.

I don't.

No, He's.

He's a fella.

He's not a Jersey guy.

So it's like, so.

You know.

But that whole.

It's the northern version of saying that is go yourself.

Go yourself.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

Go yourself.

I.

I love it.

I think that's 100% accurate.

Damn it.

I'm editing on the Fly.

Oh dear.

All right.

That's what happens.

So you know us, you know how we support diversity, equity and inclusion here at the Boomer Bunker podcast, John, especially.

Yes.

Well, I think in Maryland A, it was the black.

Maryland, Maryland, Maryland.

Okay.

There was a black women's debate team and they, they won.

So they're on the news and they're explaining how they won and I figured that we should do.

We should show you.

Marilyn.

Here we go arguing it.

Towson University's debate team wins.

Claiming an historic win.

They are the first all black women's team to win the cross examination Debate Association's national championship.

This morning we have two of the team members here.

We have Amina Ruffin and Corey Johnson both here to talk about the major victory.

Ladies, way to go.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You've made so many people proud in this area.

Now we want to pick your brain a little bit as we admire your huge trophy.

By the way, that's ridiculous.

But I'm going to ask you first.

We'll start with you, Amina.

What was the topic?

First of all, the topic was restricting presidential war powers authority.

They said the okay, so here, here they are.

Here we go.

Always already queer.

That's exactly the point.

It means that the impact is that that is an impact.

Turn to the affirmative.

That, that it is a case.

Turn to the affirmative.

Because we, we are saying that queer bodies are not able to survive.

That it necessarily means that the body of the nigga is not able to survive.

We got the topic in about July and we started doing our research.

Then when the sees these pains suffering that he can only envision himself himself that he does not see another that.

He can feel sympathy for or embrace.

But rather that that that otherness gets obliterated.

We've been supplementing our research throughout the season.

Object disfigured mention trauma enough.

The inside the trauma representation is that gentle to the black child's devouring and identify.

It sounds like she's talking in tongues.

I, I she's g like, like she can't get her breath in.

Like, what are you doing?

Like did she.

Wait a minute.

How long did she have to prepare for this?

I don't know.

But did she win this trophy or steal it?

I don't know.

I John trying to think if this was first place, how bad was second place?

The stories and images of the white culture brought up think and act subjectively like a white man's a black man.

So where do you go from there?

You know, when you start preparing for a national competition Once you know the topic, what's next?

Well, you do a lot of research, so the way arguing it.

Towson University's debate team wins, claiming an historic win.

They are the first all black.

All black, yes.

Oh, my God.

That was it.

Because the other teams weren't black that they couldn't use the nword and that's why they didn't win.

Is that.

I don't understand.

Can't.

That can't be right.

Is Sparky says the audio is fake.

Is that real?

I think it is.

Oh, I don't think it's.

It's definitely them.

I mean, you could see it's not.

That's insane.

Hang on now.

I didn't think that's how you debate.

Really?

Is that how you debate?

Hang on a second.

Let me go see what we get to.

Let's see.

Let's try to suffer that he can only envision himself.

That he does not see another.

That he can feel sympathy before.

I don't think it's fake.

I, I, I think that might be real.

We would have to.

I would have to.

You want to research.

No, I don't.

I don't, I don't.

I don't need that history on my computer.

Or embrace rather that, that that otherness gets obliterated.

I mean, that's her.

Isn't that how you're supposed to speak during a debate?

I don't think so.

I don't think.

And then use the nw.

Sounds like she was getting banged in the ass by Drake.

Oh, my God.

No.

Sorry.

I don't know.

I don't know why you okay?

I don't know.

I'm not answering that.

Yeah, I don't, I'm not a fan of that.

That was the.

But they're the champions.

Wow.

Who was second place?

I don't know.

I'd like to hear that.

I would like to hear that entire.

The retarded team from Clemson.

Who else could lose to that?

I don't know.

All right.

I love it when I get.

I leave Duchess speechless.

I don't have words for it.

How does that happen?

It's the breathing.

I think it was her whole delivery.

Was the two of them were the same way.

I mean, like, how do you practice?

That was the, Was the other girl speaking?

Were they both.

They had two different people.

There was two different girls there.

The two girls that were in the news story, right?

They were.

They were clips of each one of them talking.

I didn't, I wasn't even looking.

Once they started cursing.

Once they.

Oh, so once they started using the Edward, you just averted your eyes.

I was like, nope, put my head down.

I don't want to look.

Disavow.

Disavow.

I'm so white, I can't even look.

I.

That's not my.

I know.

I know.

It's not my thing, but that.

Yeah, I don't like that.

But maybe standards are different nowadays.

I.

I didn't.

I didn't think if.

If I was in maybe 12th grade in school, we could have just gone up and yelled like that and thrown in N words and stuff.

But, you know, we could maybe.

Maybe Towson does things a little different.

Yeah.

Because, you know, Maryland.

Maryland.

Maryland.

Yeah.

Aaron says.

Eric says the other team was white.

No N word.

No.

No.

Win.

Yeah.

See?

Oh, dear.

Can never can put the GG between the I and the E.

We know that.

You know what?

Just don't.

Just don't say it.

Just don't say it.

I.

Just don't.

Whatever.

The Jimmy called me the other day, and I have some Jimmy.

How is the Jimmy?

Well, he's pretty good.

I have some Jimmy quotes.

I said.

I said the other.

I said, have you left yet?

Or he was going somewhere.

He goes, no, no, I haven't left yet.

And I go, aren't you late?

He goes, well, yeah, yeah, but, you know, I took two shits this morning.

Two shits requires a shower.

I said, what?

Was shared way too much about Jimmy.

What was that?

Yeah, yeah, two shits.

If you take two shits, it requires a shower.

I said, okay.

I said, no, I didn't get that memo.

And he's also trying mushroom tea because mushroom tea is supposed to be better for you than coffee.

That sounds awful.

I've tried.

Tastes like dirt.

It's not good.

No.

So then he says, yeah, I'm drinking that mushroom tea.

I said, oh, how's that working out for you?

He goes, well, I'd rather have my mushrooms on a steak.

But, you know, why is he.

Is he trying to give up coffee again?

He's just a bunch of non sequiturs that gets fired out at you.

Did you see the thing where that guy from that country yelled at Trump?

Huh?

I think the guy.

The guy from that country in the costume.

You know, the zoo guy.

Zoo something.

Steve Irwin.

I know.

That's.

I.

I can't wait to chat with him if.

Whenever I'm up in your neck of the woods again.

So funny.

I just love that he doesn't.

That's just how he is.

And it's Like, I don't know if he.

I think he might have a clue now, but that just.

He's just so funny.

As we get older, I mean, listen to me.

I can't say Maryland or.

I can't read.

You know, I look at something and the word.

I think the word is this.

And then I look and I'm like, who changed the word?

How'd they change that word while I'm reading it?

Yeah.

Changing it on the fly.

I also learned a new term.

Yeah.

The Philly tuxedo.

The Philadelphia tuxedo is sweatpants with a Philly team jersey.

Flyers, Sixers, Phillies, Eagles.

Okay.

But then you have to wear a different Philadelphia team hat.

So you've.

Yeah, so it's a two team minimum, right?

It's a two team minimum.

You have the Eagles jersey, Phillies hat, Sixers hat, Flyers jersey.

Awful.

It's awful.

But, but you could.

Maybe you could change it up and do.

If you don't have the cap, you could wear the two different team.

Top, bottom.

Because I've seen people wear the shorts, too, so perhaps you could do that.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's.

That's a hot look.

That is a hot look.

You want whiz or without wit?

Wit or without wit or.

I don't know.

Yeah.

You want with or without?

I don't.

I don't.

I don't speak Philly.

No.

No, I don't have the.

I need you to explain.

I don't know what the.

They're saying.

Okay.

It's a whole nother world over there by you.

It certainly is.

You guys live in.

In a universe that's just like.

Time just flies over you guys.

All right.

Remember her?

Lizzo.

Lizzo.

I do.

This is Lizzo.

She was out on a tour and people were giving her shit because she's a big gal.

She's a very, very big gal.

They were fat shaming her.

And maybe.

Maybe this does work.

Maybe fat shaming works.

Not 100% sure, but she has lost weight.

I was shocked.

This is Lizzo.

Now.

That's a big difference.

That's a whole nother face that.

That's her before.

Another face.

That's her now that she's deflated, right?

Yeah.

She lost, what, probably £100 at least.

Yeah.

It has to be that.

Here she is.

This is her again.

Remember this?

This is her off her last tour and this is her now.

Big difference.

She's getting shit for this.

You know why?

Because she was a body positivity person and now she's went and lost weight.

And now the body positivity people are after her.

Because you're supposed to stay fat.

Because fat's beautiful.

Here you go.

That's how we used to do it back in the day.

Bully someone till they develop an eating disorder.

Attaboy.

Attaboy, budvugger.

Yes.

So, but Lizzo looks entirely different.

Mm.

I mean, good on her.

I think she looks.

She looks great.

Listen, I hope that.

I hope that what.

However she did this, and I'm pretty sure it was a.

It seemed to be a quick turnaround of time.

I mean, she was trying to eat better and doing workouts and stuff, but that's a lot of weight to lose, maybe quickly.

She calls it a weight release.

She has a weight release.

Okay.

She's lost 10 BMI points.

And she didn't say how much weight she lost, though, did she?

And 16% of her body fat since January of 2023.

So 20, 20, 23, 24, 25.

So it's two years.

Her fitness routine includes activities as Pilates, walking, and then she says she is maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than focus solely on weight loss.

Huh.

Okay, so everything the celebs said that were on Ozempic.

Okay, Like Kelly Clarkson's like, I'm eating healthy greens.

No, you took Ozempic.

And you know what?

I don't care that they do it, but don't lie.

Don't bullshit the public and say, oh, just walk and eat healthy.

Eat a sound and take a walk.

It's not.

It's not.

They didn't do that.

There's no way Lizzo went from that first picture.

And I'm sorry for the folks who can't see.

Yeah.

It's not hard to find a picture of Lizzo in her larger size, you know, and.

And then the pictures of her now, totally.

It's almost.

It's literally a different person.

And good on her for losing weight.

I don't begrudge her losing weight.

But don't.

Don't preach that.

It was just, you have good, you know, healthy eating and you take a walk.

Yeah, I love those people.

And you do Pilates.

Go yourself.

Eat a salad.

Take a walk, fatty.
