Hooked on Johnics | Episode 284

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.

Welcome to the Boomer Bunker.

This podcast tackles the tough topics of the day and shares some laughs.

I'm thrilled to introduce your hosts.

First up, she's my adopted mother with a fantastic set of cans, the Duchess.

And joining her, he's a crusty old Boomer whose rants get raves and isn't afraid to tell it like is, and also has a nice set of cans, John Jamingo.

Together, they'll navigate the latest headlines, dive into deep debates, and maybe even share stories from their past.

It is the number one podcast in heaven.

Without further ado, here are Dutchess and Jamingo.

Hey, everybody.

Mike already wants to see some boobs.

All right, Mike.

Here you go.

There you go, Mike.

I don't think they're the ones you want to see.

I don't know.

Duchess, my little podcasting slut.

How are you today?

Thank you.

Don't ever ask.

Don't ever threaten the Duchess with a podcast mic boy.

I'll tell you, she's in there.

Any podcast I'm on, I'm there.

I'll be on there.

I just checked them out for fun.

I.

Listen, I didn't know I'd be invited to speak.

Hey, I understand that.

I'm just saying it.

It's funny because you this morning said, hey, there's this old man's podcast, and we should check it out.

I'm like, all right, let's check it out.

And then I go to check it out because he's live and it's on the Podbean app.

And I'm like, no, I gotta talk to this guy.

I gotta straighten him out.

You know me.

I have opinions.

Just a couple.

Well, okay, I understand.

Listen, it's just an audio podcast.

And Podbean, the Podbean app.

Podbean podcasting app.

If you're a member of Podbean, you can.

You can broadcast live on there.

I get that.

It's very easy.

Like Bob says, pod beans for dupes.

And, you know, he also.

And I don't even know this guy's name.

I'm so sorry.

I don't even know his name.

I don't even his name either.

But he has, like, a whole ad for Podbean in the beginning of this.

And listen, I've had A lot of experience with Podbean.

And you know something?

Looks Mike's been with Podbean the whole time.

Okay, fine.

It's a newbie kind of place.

It's cheap, it's very inexpensive.

SoundCloud is the other one that's free.

That's what Jody uses.

Oh, that's what Jody uses?

Yeah.

Remember how I couldn't remember today, so.

And look, I've dealt with Podbean.

I've have clients that dealt with Podbean.

Their statistics suck.

They're very.

It's just not a good.

When you go to other places and see what they offer, you're like, wow.

It's like pot, beans, a booger on your finger.

Okay, now listen, a way for me to start out with this guy.

But, you know, again, you have all these places that you can use.

You can use X and YouTube.

And why go to Podbean?

I gotta have the app and then I gotta go there.

I mean, it's just.

It's hamstringing yourself.

I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm just too lazy to switch.

Listen, all right, for my podcasting friends here, I'm going to give you a little thing.

Captivate.

Go to Captivate.

Captivate FM is what I use.

It's $17 a month.

They have so many tools that you can use for podcasting.

And it'll write your show notes.

It'll do.

It'll give you chapter markers.

It's amazing.

It is absolutely amazing.

And you know me, I write like a fourth grader.

So because I've been educated in New Jersey schools, now the teachers can be as dumb as the students.

We'll get to that.

But okay, John showed me Lipson.

It was like going into Neiman's.

Neiman park as a podcaster.

So, yeah.

And listen.

And I've been a Libsyn host user ever since 2000.

I'm sorry, 2012.

That's when I started.

But when I went over to Captivate, they got their shit going on.

All right.

I know.

For everybody else, it's like, who gives a shit, John?

We're here to find out what's going on in the world.

I get it.

Red says Spotify for creators is free.

And it does all that.

Does it?

I'll have to check that.

Here's the thing about Spotify.

When Spotify first started out, it was called Anchor.

And the reason there's 2 million podcasts or 3 million podcasts out there now is because everybody went to Anchor to start a podcast.

And they did it like Two times.

And then they just left it there.

And it's.

There's just like a million podcasts that have, like, one episode or two episodes.

I know that because I started, like, five of them.

So five of them are yours.

Okay.

Yeah.

I wouldn't even be able to find them if you held a gun to my head.

I couldn't even tell you what they were and how many there was.

Spotify bought Anchor and made it better is what Red said.

Okay.

You know something?

I'm not even crazy about Spotify.

You know, Spotify.

Here's the thing I don't like.

I don't use Spotify personally.

Here's the thing about Spotify.

Spotify wants to be everything to all people.

And there's an issue with Spotify where they'll take your podcast down if they don't.

You know, if they find something, they'll just take your podcast off the.

Off their platform, which is fine.

I mean, there's a lot of people that won't.

I know a lot of podcasts won't even put their podcasts on Spotify.

Now.

Is that smart?

No, it's not, because you want to be everywhere.

You want to be able to be found everywhere.

But.

And listen, I can see right now that people are very, very.

What's it called when you're like, you know, you love it.

Like.

Like a fan.

They're a fan of their podcast.

Yeah, they're.

They.

They.

It's.

There's a brand loyalty.

Yeah.

Jody's loyal to Soundgarden or whatever it was, and SoundCloud, SoundCloud.

And look, Red.

Red loves Spotify for podcasters.

He.

He's all about that.

And I'm sure the old man podcast loves Podbean.

I get it.

Well, that may be all he knows, right?

Or just that he's comfortable with, but I've been in.

Listen, I've been in the back end of a lot of podcasting, hosting places, okay?

I've been in there.

I've been in the back end of Blueberry.

I've been in the back end of Buzzsprout.

I've been in the back end of Megaphone.

I've been the back end of Podbean.

I've been in the back.

So you're saying you like going to the back end?

I like going in the back end is what I'm trying to say here.

There you go, Mike.

A podcast hosting.

All right, we'll edit that out.

Don't worry.

And captivate.

So I've seen them all, and there's one, it's called Pod Home, that I use for a little while.

And they were pretty good, too.

Okay.

But then I went to Captivate, and it's.

It's not even close.

It's not even close.

Whatever.

Listen, podcasts, use what you want to use.

I get it.

But if I'm going to go, if I'm doing a live show, look, we're on Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, Rumble, what else?

We're on five different places, okay?

X, Facebook, Twitch, Rumble, and YouTube.

YouTube.

All right, so we're on five different places where people can come.

Yeah, we can come watch us and see us wherever.

Wherever it is.

But.

But if I said, okay, because I.

I fight Grinder's next Grinder.

I.

I fight with Duchess all the time.

Because I just want to go to Rumble and Twitter.

I just want to go to Rumble and Twitter.

I want to get rid of the other ones.

I want to, you know, our fans.

I believe that our fans will follow us to those.

Those places.

I don't like YouTube because of the censorship.

I'm not crazy about Spotify because of the censorship.

And here's the thing about Podbean is I had a friend's show that was on there, and some cunt complained about their show to Podbean, and Podbean said, take the episode down and we're taking you off the.

The platform.

And they took him off the platform.

They.

And I'm like, fuck you.

Listen, I pay you amount of money to host my audio files.

I don't need a fucking program director.

Shut the fuck up, take my money, post my files and go yourself.

That's why I don't like Podbean.

Okay.

Thank goodness you're on Rumble.

They don't scrub your videos when you're talking about.

Oh, baguettes, baguettes, Baguettes.

Yes.

That young.

We're gonna get into some baggage talk later on.

That's a good idea.

All right.

I want to start off before we get into the heavy stuff.

Red says he's never had a flagged episode.

Well, you don't podcast with John.

That's not.

Listen, that's true.

Or Bob.

But here's the thing, Ray.

And you know, listen, I'm not.

I'm not judging, but you guys play music that you're not supposed.

I mean, copyrighted music.

Did you not.

And, and I know that you've had shows taken down.

I don't know if it was when you were there or when it was Brent, Brandon, Brendan, whatever.

But at any time, if somebody call, says to Spotify.

Hey, they're playing copyrighted music now.

They could listen.

It doesn't matter what podcast host you're with, any of them.

If somebody comes in with a.

I forget what it's called.

I'm going to call it a dnr.

Do not Resuscitate.

If they come in with one of these.

Copyright.

That was on Lipsense.

Yeah.

If they, if they come in with that, then they have to take it down.

You know, the.

The hosting company has to take it down, unfortunately.

I get it.

I don't like it.

You know, I think if you're going to use, especially with dm.

A D.

Yeah.

See, he knows a dmca.

Dmca.

Your podcast is done when you get a dmca.

So here's the thing.

What Red does, he's just not playing music.

He's playing a song.

And, you know, on the shitty song of the week, they.

They.

They take a song and they critique.

You know something.

I really don't know what they do.

I'm going to find out, but I'm not really sure what they do.

One Shitty Song of the week, but they take a song and they talk about it all.

It's not just they're playing music like they.

Oh, and here's the Bee Gees.

And then here's bits of.

Bits of it then, right?

So Red, he's like, wow, John, that hurts.

Well, I know.

We'll school them.

No, no, no, Listen, I'm not being disrespectful.

What I'm saying is.

No, seriously, or I'm not trying to be.

Maybe I am.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but what I'm saying is that there's fair use of stuff, like news.

What we do, we play clips here.

And there's fair use of that because we're talking about when we're just not playing other people's content.

I mean, if we were.

I think if you stream snipe, somebody, you can get trouble for it.

Okay.

Yeah.

Jody is in Rumble.

He says it's musical commentary with observations.

Right.

It's fair use.

You're talking about it as fair use.

Yeah.

So it shouldn't be.

Can't be on YouTube, but.

Right.

That's what he says.

See, you're not allowed on YouTube.

See, this is why I hate YouTube.

But good for you.

Why did I get into all this?

Oh, we were talking about the Old man podcast, and then next thing I know, Duchess is like, hey, I was just on the Old man podcast.

I'm Like I was.

They were very nice.

Puff, puff.

Hi, sailor.

I'll come on your podcast.

They invited me on.

I understand.

Who am I to be rude?

I'm charming.

You are, probably.

I commented a couple times.

They said, come on the show.

And I said, well, okay, since you asked so nicely.

Right.

They were charming.

They were very nice.

Hey, listen, I think that is more of our target market.

Our target audiences is older boomer people that, you know, that have lived.

The older boomer.

Yeah, yeah.

That walked the path that we walked.

I think, you know.

Thank you.

Charming and elegant, Mr.

Duchess.

Unlike me, you know, I'm.

I'm grungy in a china shop.

Knock stuff over.

Look, I don't even know the guy yet.

Haven't listened to one part of his.

I haven't listened to his podcast yet.

I've subscribed, but I haven't listened to it yet, and I'm already giving them shit.

Jody says the Duchess is spreading her podcast wings.

Yes.

Here's the thing.

To whoever.

What's the guy's name?

Aaron.

Whenever you ask, just let us know.

Okay, Duchess, what's the name of the old guy?

I don't have his name.

Oh, you don't know his name?

He's just old guy.

Okay.

He hasn't shared his name.

Well, again, I've only listened to one episode and I did not hear his name.

Who was the guy you were with this morning?

I don't know his name.

Who is the gentleman I was with this morning?

Well, the podcast was this old man's podcast.

No, I get that.

That's the name of him.

This old man.

This old man.

I don't.

He didn't share his personal.

His birth name.

Okay.

It's this old man.

All right, so the reason I'm saying this is I.

I have a love for independent podcasters.

I do.

And I've done this for a minute, and I don't know, maybe the Old man podcast has done this for a minute too.

So I like to.

I'm here to help independent podcasters.

I have a.

You know, I have a soft spot for them.

You know, we're all in this thing together, and I think if we.

We hold on to each other, you know, and.

And network, it.

It helps everybody.

What are you mumbling under me again?

Nothing.

It's as if we.

Hold on.

I just said for one more day.

Oh, for one more day.

The song.

I get it.

It could be a shitty song.

It could be.

Isn't that.

That's the.

The ones from the Beach Boys.

The daughter, The Beach Boy daughters.

The Baldwin daughter.

Yeah, what's it.

What's the name of their group?

Carrie Wilson.

Yeah, yeah.

Wilson Phillips.

Wilson Phillips.

That was the name of it.

See, this is what we do here.

We play boomer charades.

Well, you play boomer charades, I can answer your boomer charades.

We're good enough, we're smart enough, and doggone it, people like us dunk on it.

Well, I'm an acquired taste.

In other words.

Yes.

When you first listen to me, you're like, who the fuck is this asshole?

Right.

But then I become lovable because it's.

You know, it's not.

I don't really like.

In other words, I'm not really.

I don't try to be hurtful to the audience.

Some people, yes.

Not in the audience.

Except for Tom.

Tom.

I like Tom.

I go in.

He's my favorite.

He's my favorite guy to go after.

But, you know.

But I'm an acquired taste.

We're Duchess.

Everybody loves the Duchess.

As soon as they hear the Duchess, they love her.

She's got that giggle.

She's got that radio voice.

Listen.

Listen to the giggle.

If you listen to this show, as soon as we start in the beginning.

Of the music, I can't.

She can't stop herself.

I can't turn a mic off.

So now when I go in, I love you like a sit on my ass.

Thank you, Red.

That's very kind.

I think I'm irritating, but you can't get to me.

You gotta bend in.

You just gotta reach.

You gotta bend down, look between your knees, and then try to find me.

That's how it is.

Well, here's what Sparky says.

I never thought, who the fuck is this asshole?

When I first found Boomer Bunny, you didn't.

Okay, you might be the only person to say that.

I would like to know how Sparky found the Boomer bunker.

I know we got a lot of people from the Eric Zane show.

We got all the cream of the crop from the Eric Zane show.

Well, clearly, yes.

And I've done a ton of different podcasts in my podcasting career, but I always love to know how people find us at times.

Yeah.

And trust me, Duchess is a welcome addition.

She kind of.

Oh, you fell for Bob's sexy voice.

Oh, that's.

Louise.

Come on.

You were a fan before Bob was even a thought in my head.

But what I'm saying is that we are an acquired taste.

This is why I was attracted to podcasting, because I can.

I don't Have a boss.

I could do whatever.

You know, I can do whatever I want.

I could say whatever I want.

And I like that.

No one can say to me, oh, you can't.

Well, Duchess does.

Sometimes she's like, I do.

No, no.

I'm like, don't not.

New host on the first show.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes I just plow right through.

But it should be called Beauty and the Boomer is what Jody just said.

No, John's very pretty.

No.

Eugenics or not, look at these beautiful blue eyes.

All right, between you and the Jimmy.

I know.

Catching all the ladies.

It was funny.

We were talking.

I'm going from one topic to another.

So we were talking about the Jimmy today because he became a grandfather last night.

His daughter had a baby boy.

And so we were talking about the Jimmy, and I said, you know, the Jimmy back in the day was quite the ladies man.

And she said, marshmallows.

She said, I don't.

You know, I doubt it.

And I'm like, he would have charmed the pants off of you.

I guarantee it.

Probably not so much, but him, he would have.

Well, you knew the game.

That's the whole thing.

The game was new to each woman he met.

You had heard the game.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

You're like, oh, here we go again.

All right.

Red says you should start a show.

Red in the fat man.

Sure, Red, let's do it.

Message him.

I'm sure he'll do it with you.

Absolutely.

You know, it's funny.

All right, so here's a story.

I don't go to the mailbox because there's nothing in them.

I have everything emailed to me.

I never go to the mailbox.

It's only advertisements and bad news.

I never go to the mailbox.

My mail lady gets so mad at me that when it's finally full where she can't get another piece of mail in there, she leaves the door open.

She's like, hey, asshole, I can't get another piece of mail.

Yeah, right.

So I go out there, God bless her the other day, and I go out there, the mailbox lids open.

I'm like, God, okay, So I go over there, and I'm pulling mail out and pulling mail out and pulling mail out.

And you're so lucky your shit does not get stolen, given the main road that you live on.

They.

First of all, there's nothing in there worth stealing.

But what I did find was a couple of Christmas cards.

Jody sent me a Christmas card.

Oh, Jody B.

And Jason?

No.

Oh, me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Omi.

He said, I meant to bring the card.

His card made me laugh.

Absolutely.

It says, I want a podcast with you in 2025.

And I'm like, all these people want a podcast with me in a way, until they get a chance to.

And then until they do.

And then they're like, no, I don't know.

Twitch.

Now.

There you go.

Yeah.

Because he's not getting addressed in.

Oh, sorry.

I'm trying, Jody.

I'm over there.

It's hard.

I can't highlight them because.

Well, you know what it is, Jody?

He wants you to giggle at his.

Like you're giggling at reds, is what it is.

So, anyhow.

Oh.

Deuce from Brand X has something to say.

He says, I'd send a card, but you hate Christmas.

I do hate Christmasy.

Deuce knows me.

I have a card for you.

It's in the gift bag that I was going to give to you the other day when I went to your house.

I know.

Well, that's some.

It's kind of not my fault.

Here's another thing that happened as I'm going through all the junk mail, and I'm throwing this.

Throwing this out, and I see something from my medical insurance.

So I'm like, okay, let me open this up.

It's probably junk, but whatever, I'll open it up.

It's probably a rate increase.

I look and it says, Dear Mr.

Domingo, we've been overcharging your copay.

I'm like, okay, insurance company's overcharging.

Yeah.

Now, my insurance company is an offshoot of United Healthcare, whose CEO got popped.

I know how well that's working out.

Popped in the back of the headset.

They're like, so here.

What they did was they sent me a check for a sizable amount of money.

Nice.

And I was like, merry Christmas from the insurance company.

Yeah.

Merry Christmas.

I immediately came in, I deposited it, and I went right over to Sweetwater, and I bought myself a rotation.

It didn't even deposit yet.

And you're like, that isn't even.

The ink is on the back of the check where I sign is still wet.

I'm over at Sweetwater, and I bought a Duo mixer.

Nice.

That means I've got two Rodecaster Pro Twos here, so I'm going to take.

So we're starting a collection.

I'm resetting one, and it's going over to Duchess.

Oh.

Yep.

We're going to get this straightened out.

I have to get lessons on that.

No, it's not that hard.

It's just.

Push button.

I'll show you how to do everything.

Okay.

That being said, Josh says, and they instantly raised your deductible.

There has to be a catch.

I.

I don't know.

We'll see.

You know, listen, when I go to my mailbox in two more months, whenever the door gets left open again, I'll let you know.

Two or three months.

By the way, you owe us all that money we sent you.

That check was an accident.

So I'm a big fan.

Yeah, I'm giving.

Yeah, I'm giving Duchess the used one.

Why would I give her the brand new one?

Yeah, don't give me the new one.

I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

It's the one.

The one I'm giving her is the one I'm using right here.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Matter of fact, I'm gonna.

Look, I'm gonna load it up with all the Duchess.

No, no.

Or, you know, I'll load it up with some of the sound effects.

I have one here.

What, the Old Fashioned?

She goes analog with the sound effects.

I'm sorry.

Couldn't help myself.

Remember when we did that podcast a couple months ago when we were talking about the Drawer of Shame?

Yes, I do.

I do.

Oh, my gosh.

That was.

I think that was one of those ones where we did, like, an impromptu, and then it just ended up being like, an hour of Yik Yak.

Yeah.

Yes.

Well, for folks who don't recall.

Do we want to touch on what that might be?

Well, yeah.

Like, when you die, you have to have your kids come in, and there's always like, a.

Especially if, like, you're married or a.

Drawer of your goodies.

Adult toys that you have.

You know, ones that require batteries, maybe at some time that you don't want.

Your children to find.

Exactly.

Because they don't want to know their mom does those kind of things or.

Their dad or whomever.

Grandma.

Nobody needs to know that.

Correct.

So how do you handle that?

You usually have a friend that when you know, you die, the friend is supposed to know where these toys are, and then they have to come running in before anybody gets in, take the toys, then leave with them and throw them in a Right in a dumpster or something.

Yeah.

Or clear your history on your phone or your computer.

You don't need anybody finding that.

Exactly.

Well, there's something we missed upon.

We missed about.

There were some things we missed.

And when I saw that, I was like, you know something?

You Know something?

And here, this one was here to talk about it.

All right, this one's going out to the younger kids.

Gen Z, the millennials.

If you don't listen to what I'm about to say, you are going to be in therapy for decades.

As your boomer grandparents and your older Gen X parents are getting up there in age and they pass away and you go to their house to go through their belongings.

Under no circumstances should you watch any unlabeled VHS tapes.

Do not throw them away.

Do not give them a goodwill.

You need to destroy them.

I've never been so serious in my entire life.

What if this was Grandma and Grandpa's 40th anniversary video?

It's not.

It's not.

This is a video of me as a kid.

Nope.

Oh my grandma, she's just a sweet little lady.

She wouldn't have made videos like that.

Bet the grandma that you know now is not the grandma that was alive 40 years ago.

Okay, that, that.

All right, so now 40 years ago, it's 2025.

So 40 years ago is 1985.

This is when you know, VCR tapes were coming out.

Yep.

You know, so people were like putting stands up and you know, okay, you know, framing it and you know, so grandma might been getting busy and videotape.

You don't know what her kink was.

You have no idea.

She the.

When I saw this, I laughed really hard.

It's true.

First of all, I love her because she's all Gen X, She's a younger Gen X, but she's still very funny and she is completely correct.

Because I remember babysitting at somebody's house and popping in a VHS tape.

Wrong tape.

Wrong tape.

Mortified.

Why is it even in your tapes?

Why is it where a babysitter, by the way, like 12 or 13 years old.

No.

What was it?

It was really sketchy and I shut it off like immediately.

Hold on, don't give me this really sketchy.

I didn't see a whole lot.

I shut it off like really quickly cuz I was like, I'm not watching this.

What did you see that?

Was it them or was it.

It was them.

It was the couple.

Yeah.

It was not.

No, I don't.

Okay, so Bruce.

No, I don't have tapes.

Bruce got all excited.

I don't have tapes.

I was a babysitter and found tapes in with all the other tapes.

Because one of the jobs when I was babysitting is they would go out Friday nights and I would have to tape Dallas and Miami Vice.

You're looking for a tape to tape over.

Oh, yeah.

I hope you didn't tape over it.

Yeah.

I also realized, like, looking back, that the.

The husband would drive me home.

He had a very nice car.

He had a Porsche 944.

He'd drive me home really fast.

He was probably drunk.

Oh, my God.

I realized he.

Because he would, like, haul through the woods, like, through the.

And he would drive you back by himself.

Yeah, See, I would never do that.

I would never drive.

I was 12.

I was not thinking.

I understand that.

But you know what?

I.

I would never do that.

For the simple fact.

Well, I don't even want that hint of impropriety of anything like that.

I don't want her to say anything.

I don't want her to know.

I never thought of that.

I just.

I know.

School book.

I was literally the kid doing homework on Friday nights.

Like it was.

Yeah.

My daughter would have her friends over and they would say, can you take and ride her home?

Can you give my friend a ride home?

And I'm like, yeah, come with me.

I was always have my.

Yeah, my daughter come with me.

And this is the same thing.

Never, ever, ever in history of ever knew you wouldn't do that.

Wouldn't do the same thing here.

When the girls would have friends over, he's like, you can't leave me here.

You can't leave me with the girls.

No, it's because it's.

It's inappropriate.

Poor.

Yeah, it's absolutely inappropriate.

All right, so let's get back to this.

That was a whole different person.

This person says, I have two unlabeled tapes.

One is my wedding video, and one is my husband's quality corn on the cob from the 90s.

I've been looking for a VHS player on.

On ebay, so I don't have to bring them in somewhere to out which is which.

All of us boomers and Gen Xers should swap unlabeled VHS tapes.

Kind of like a secret Santa of parent corn on the cob.

Oh, my.

But I have a box of unlabeled small camcorder tapes of different formats.

And the kids keep asking why I don't get them digitized.

Destroy them all.

Anything that's not labeled.

Because honestly, even the labeled ones are kind of.

I see.

So younger kids.

I just gave you the most valuable piece of advice you will ever.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Just.

Well, you notice is most likely nobody has a VHS player anymore, so there's a good chance they're not getting watched.

But if grandma still has that VHS machine blinking 12:00, you know, and she's like, oh, let's see what this is.

That's on you.

That's on you, babe.

Here's the pizza and here's the pepperoni.

I can't pay for my pizza.

Yeah.

What do I do?

Which is like the role.

What the.

The model for every cheesy 80s porn I can't pay for.

Whatever.

That's 30 minutes and 15 seconds.

Oh, no.

Well, I love out of Context, Duchess.

No, you suck.

But, yeah, just.

Just throw those tapes away if you're not watching them.

Nobody should be watching them.

Just get rid of them.

Nobody cares.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Bruce says penthouse letters, Dear Penthouse for him.

Yeah, pretty much.

No, don't do that either.

Shut up.

Touches to read some of the old ones.

Oh, no.

All right, so today was January 6th.

Happy Insurrection Day.

Four years ago, people were storming the Capitol.

Now people are still in jail.

People are still in jail.

Never been charged.

You know, I don't know how many constitutional, you know, rights of the.

They've been violated, but whatever.

Well, but you know something?

The Democrats, they.

They believe in the Constitution when they're not trampling all over it.

And amazing how there's certain components to the Constitution that work really well.

Correct.

Because they don't want to be like those insurrectionist Republicans.

No.

You know what the thing about the United States is?

There's always a peaceful transfer of power.

Of course.

And here is Kamala Harris talking about it.

The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of American democracy.

As much as any other principle, it is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny.

Today at the United States Capitol, I will perform my constitutional duty as Vice President of the United States to certify the results of the 2024 election.

This duty is a sacred obligation, one I will uphold, guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and my unwavering faith in the American people.

As we have seen, our democracy can be fragile.

And it is up to then each one of us to stand up for our most cherished principles and to make sure that in America, our government always remains of the people, by the people, and for the people.

May God bless you.

And may God bless the United States of America.

She looked so miserable by saying that by the end of that, she looked like she ate a lemon.

She was like, fuck.

And he's all for not voting for me and voting for that orange man.

So it's funny, I'm looking at what she was wearing and I'd seen her what she wore today to swear in people.

And it's the same outfit, just a different color.

So you know, she just has like uniforms of that stuff.

But when I heard that this morning, it was.

She literally looked ill.

Listen nauseated to say these words.

She has to go God bless America.

And validate the certify the election of the guy that whooped her ass.

Real good.

Real good.

Yeah.

So here she is doing just that.

Delivered to the President of the Senate is as follows.

All right, hold on a second.

The whole number of the election people watching Johnson's.

I want to back this up a little bit because there's one spot right here.

Look at him staring at her with that shitty grin.

I know.

If you're watch.

If you're listening.

Sorry.

If you're listening, but you have to go Google this because it is brilliant.

It's like a 30 second video.

It's well worth watching.

Oh, no, I got the longer.

I got the long at her.

I got the longer version because I want to.

I just want to savor every minute.

Yeah, here we go.

The whole number of the electors appointed to vote for President of the United States is 538.

Within that whole number, the majority is 270.

The vote.

I'm sorry, I got to stop it again.

I didn't realize this before, but this whole time your buddy's trying not to laugh and smile.

Is.

He is.

Come on.

He is so snarky.

I love it.

I know.

He's just so, like.

You know how when you.

You want to break out in this big smile but you know it's inappropriate.

He's like biting the inside of his.

Yeah, he's like, laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh.

He's looking down every time she says something like, there's 500.

Watch when he just looks away till.

They get to the.

The votes for President of the United States are as follows.

Donald J.

Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes.

Look at that shitty smirk.

He is smirking like you would not believe.

It is fabulous.

I'm sorry.

For folks who can't see.

I know.

Again, Google it.

It's.

It's well worth the time.

All right, so then.

So look at that smirk now.

Kama D.

Harris.

Yeah.

We don't want to hear your number.

Half the Senate stands up.

I would have been up there.

Sit down and shut the up.

We get it.

Try to do something here.

Now.

Kamala D.

Harris of the state of California has received 226 votes.

The whole number of electors appointed to vote for Vice President President of the United States is 538.

Within that whole number, a majority is 270.

The votes for Vice President of the United States are as follows.

J.D.

vance of the state of Ohio has received 312 votes.

She looks so mad.

It's time they stand up.

I can't do this.

I'm leaving.

That's a humbling.

I mean, look, I'm not a fan.

I'm not.

But to get up there and announce not only like, I'm a loser, my running mate's a loser too.

And we all just lost.

And it's right.

I, I don't.

I feel bad just as a human being, like, just like.

Oh, I know you don't.

She did this to herself.

She did this to herself.

Yeah.

She's not the best.

She ran a horrible campaign.

And I know, I was there, I saw it like, this is what human being.

I'm like, aw.

This is what happens when you treat the country like they're fucking idiots and try to lie to them and gaslight them.

This is what happens.

She didn't try.

She did.

Yeah.

Tim Laws of the state of Minnesota has received 226 votes.

Not as much of a roar for him.

Is that him in the front?

Where?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

You know, he's old.

He's not guy in the front like that.

But he's not a member of Congress.

I mean, he's not a senator.

He's just a dopey governor.

Edward said it's not very diversity, equity and inclusion of us.

It is because we're playing it.

No, it's not.

We're allowing her to lose and announce her loss.

Edward knows that.

I'm 100% against diversity, equity and inclusion.

I, I say the best person for the job.

We don't give a shit what color you are.

Whatever.

The best person.

We don't give a shit what you are.

No.

Whether you got beans and franks or a taco, we don't care.

No, I don't.

This announcement of the state of the vote by the President of the Senate shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons elected President and Vice President of the United States, each for a term beginning on the 20th day of January 2025 and shall be entered together with the list of the votes on the journals of the House and the Senate.

Thank you very.

Now get me the out of here.

You know, she, she, she got through her job the last Bit of what she had to do.

Good job.

Yeah, good job.

You read your script?

That's right.

Good job, good job.

But here's the thing.

Budwegger says, you know, there's some purple haired college student out there screaming, don't do it, Kamala.

She was probably hammered right after.

I think she was hammered before that.

I think she's been.

I think she's been.

She did all right with that one.

I think it was still early, so she probably had a couple shots to get her going.

And then by, by 5:00, she's hammered, I'm sure.

But she needs the maintenance ones just to get her going through the day.

Well, remember back when Trump lost and they had all these QAnon people saying that he didn't really lose and there's a.

There's a secret somebody that's going to come in and Trump's actually the president and he's gonna bring all these people in jail.

And we're like, all right, sit down, will you?

You know, listen, I like a good conspiracy theory, which you guys are out of your fucking mind.

And then Democrats kept saying, oh, QAnon all that.

Well, now the Democrats are doing the same fucking thing.

Where do you hear this bullshit?

Wait a minute, Here we go.

Trump coming out and calling for a rally with his supporters January 19, one day before the inauguration.

Why would you need to do that the day before you are supposedly being inaugurated the 47th president?

Well, I'll tell you, I'm doing Herb.

I meant to do Trump, but all of a sudden I broke into her.

What's wrong with me?

Here's the thing.

What we're going to do is we're going to bring everybody out here.

So we've got a big party on Narration Day.

So we're going to have a rally and I'm gonna have a party the next day.

That's what we're doing.

But no, no, not this guy.

Can't wait till we own Canada.

Oh, it's coming.

He wants those people here in town for when it becomes even more evident than it already is that under 14th Amendment Section 3, he cannot be sworn in.

He's done.

He knows it.

He's known it for a while.

Only thing is, they're ready for you this time, dude.

Okay.

All right, so here's the thing.

This.

He was never charged nor convicted for insurrection.

So I don't know what the fuck this guy's talking about.

That's number one.

Number two, I'm not 100% sure that these Democrats ain't got something else up their sleeve.

The reason I say that is that asshole judge in New York is trying to sentence him before the inauguration.

Now, how is this even allowed to happen?

How.

How can.

Because they won't be president then, so he still gets to be above him and.

Right, but again, this is bullshit.

This is a.

I mean, I, I want bullshit.

I call bullshit.

For the simple fact is that it's already going for appeal.

It's going to be overturned on appeal.

There's not one decent lawyer out there that says that this wasn't some kind of fuck job rammed through Frankenstein charge.

They charged him 36 times just so they could call him convicted felon throughout the whole campaign.

And now that, now they're going to try to disagree.

I'm not sure the Democrats are done.

Like they're, they're taking this awful well.

You know, I'm a little nervous about this because to be honest with you Democrats, if you want to fuck around, do it.

Do it because you think you're ready for us, you're not.

You're not ready for us.

He's the duly elected president.

We put up with four years of that fucking crippled hayseed demented guy and your DEI Higher.

You ruined everything you touched.

You fucked us on immigration, you fucked us on the economy, you fucked us on everything.

Everything you guys fucking touched, you screwed up.

For four years we sat here and all we kept saying is 4 years, let's go.

And not only that, but this fucking demented old guy, he's not doing it.

Whoever's doing this, did you know that he signed a thing today to ban gas hot water heaters?

Is that what you got left to do?

Is that what you're worried about right now?

He's also signing things so we can't drill offshore.

I don't know if I'll.

Prison anywhere.

Anywhere.

Is that nuts?

Yeah.

Why are we doing that?

He's just sabotaging everything.

You know what he's doing?

Burning the whole fucking place down.

And where are the Democrats?

And again, these executive orders.

I'm tired of these executive orders.

We have to stop ruling by executive order.

That needs to fucking stop.

That means you can just be like, I don't like the color blue.

We're going to outlaw it.

And then there it is, you know, I mean, right at the ridiculous level.

But that's not how.

How it works, folks.

Look, they're.

They're had this for four years, what, five years now?

Yeah.

Since COVID the deep state is nervous.

More nervous than a long Tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

They don't want what's coming because he's putting people in place that know where all the fucking bodies are buried.

Cash Patel.

They do not want him.

They do not.

You know that.

I'm sure he's a brilliant man, but that picture of him that they keep showing on TV where his eyes looking like they're going in two different directions.

He looks, of course, brain damaged.

Like.

Is that the only picture of this guy?

Look what they did to Joe Rogan when he caught Covid.

And he was saying that, you know, he took ivermectin and hydrogen chloroquine and all that and vitamins and all.

And got.

Yeah, got rid of.

Got rid of it.

They made him gray.

I mean, look what they did to him.

So listen, again with the media.

The lapdog of the Democratic Party or the deep state.

I mean, cut me a break.

So Biden's over there.

You know what?

Slap the fucking pen out of his hand and get him out of the fucking place.

Send him on vacation.

Well, again, as a lame duck president, he's over there fucking around with.

With New Orleans right now.

All right, so he's over there around with Ukraine.

They're still shooting missiles into Russia.

And.

And you know what Putin's like, hey, what are we doing here?

So I'm.

I'm just saying that they're trying to.

Fuck.

They're trying to us over on the way out the door.

Two more weeks.

It's done.

I'm hoping we make it.

I'm serious.

I hope we make it.

But here's another genius of the Democratic Party.

I am shook.

Shaken and stirred right now.

I had to get out of bed.

Did y'all see Kamala Harris's end of the year slash new Year post?

Why was it.

What?

There's.

There has to be a reason.

It was that extra.

Because that was unnecessary.

I feel like this is there.

It's coded.

It's coded.

You're stupid.

You're stupid.

There's no coded.

Her people.

Her people put that up, right?

She doesn't know how to fucking work any of that shit.

Yes.

I don't know what it means, but it means something.

I don't know what it means, but it's gotta be something.

Where was she educated in New Jersey?

She's not going anywhere.

I think that's very clear from this video.

She ain't going nowhere.

Also, another reason why I think this video is important is that Biden is not featured at all.

Not even they hate each other.

Shocked.

They hate each other.

They do hate each other.

They voted for Trump.

I know.

Jill Biden voted for Trump.

She hates her.

Joe Biden hates her, despises her.

Look at each other when they've been together.

If I'd have known this would happen, I would have never voted for that.

Never made that.

You know, I can't say it.

I never made a maid or vice president.

You know, Duchess.

Don't make me say it now.

I'm doing Bill Clinton.

It's bad enough in one frame.

I feel like that's strange.

I feel like that's a little strange.

Remember the things that she keeps repeating.

We are not going to throw up our hands.

We're gonna roll up our sleeves.

It's time to get to work.

Oh my God.

She sounds just like her.

We're getting work.

Yeah.

Edward says one.

Yeah, I can't that whole fries.

I can't even.

The vocal fry.

They're insane.

They talk about the.

The people on the right, they're insane.

The people on the left, you know, they want to.

If you wear a red MAGA hat, I'm not wearing one out in public.

Fuck that.

There's no way.

No, I don't need any of that bullshit.

I don't need crazy people running up to me.

I mean, I deal with weirdos all the time.

So like I don't need more.

More of them involved deeper into my life.

Just.

I'll just say this.

The pendulum swinging the other way now because, you know, just running up to a guy in a MAGA hat and yelling racist, Nazi.

Yeah.

You know all that.

It's not working anymore as it is.

Insane that people think that that behavior is okay.

Right?

It's not.

No.

Behave yourself.

Fucking normal.

Normal.

Here's a story.

Is a 74 year old Trump supporter who lives in Palo Alto.

He casually went about his business today, still sporting the red MAGA hat.

That prompted a loud confrontation with a woman at a Palo Alto Starbucks two days ago.

This crazy woman came over, started raving at me.

She turned to the rest of the star.

Hey everybody, here's this racist here.

He hates brown people.

He's crazy.

He's a Nazi and so forth.

The woman, Rebecca Park.

All right, hold on.

Then began taking.

I got to back this up.

Look at the lady.

Okay, Edward, is Rebecca oppressed?

You tell me.

Rebecca says if I was oppressed like those people.

And who are.

Who's been oppressed by the way?

Again, you've got that stupid democratic mind virus too.

Just throwing it dummy look at this.

That's a self inflicted haircut.

That is not.

No one pinned her down for that haircut.

This is a haircut.

She's got a mohawk.

Her sides of her head.

She literally has a mohawk.

That's an intentional look.

This is.

Look at me, look at me, look at me.

It is all about me.

Yeah, right.

Her.

That is a look at me look.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Whoops.

Parker Mankey then began taking photos and posting about it on her Facebook, saying.

She was going to shame him, get him fired, kicked out of clubs and march up and down his street.

Victor says she left, then came back and tried to rile the Starbucks crowd once more.

Hey again, everybody hear this racist.

And so on.

And then as she wrote in her thing, she was disappointed all the people didn't come and mob me.

In fact, the opposite happened.

People started harassing Parker Mankey's family and.

Her employer, Griffin Stringed Instruments, where she worked as an accountant.

The store owner decided to fire her.

After he read her Facebook posts.

We feel that music is what brings people together and so having someone then making comments that are divisive is just not consistent with our values.

No one answered the door at Parker.

Mankey's home, but a female spoke through.

A closed window saying, rebecca doesn't live here.

He didn't want to discuss the issues with me.

She wanted just to scream about Nazis and so on.

Victor wears a yarmulke underneath his maga hat.

He is Jewish and so to him.

Being called a Nazi is hurtful.

Oh, oh, she probably hates Jewish.

Oh, yeah, she hates Jews.

She's, you know, she's from Palestine.

Yeah, go, go, Palestine.

Yeah, yeah.

People with an education should know better than to say stupid things like that.

I feel like it kind of turned around and bit her right in the ass.

Oh, you think?

Like, it's just, I don't understand, like you.

It is okay to not agree with people.

It's okay.

That's part of life.

And the fact that you don't disagree so much, you're going to go up and point your phone literally in people's face, take pictures and I'm going to put you on social media.

Okay, you're going to do that.

And then now all of a sudden it just spun around as a 180.

Like you're bullying this poor old guy who's now apparently Jewish and you called him a Nazi.

Good job.

But you know, she's got Rebecca, she's got the mohawk and she's got the whole outfit.

You know, she's she's the party of acceptance and understanding.

That's the party of acceptance and understanding.

I.

I get that.

Here's what's going on.

You have that fringe of the left, and we have that fringe on the right.

We do.

Which is, you know, both ends.

Which are unacceptable, in my opinion.

Exactly.

You know, your Jew hater, your griper, your.

Those guys, you know, those people that hate the gays and the.

And hate the Jews.

Well, if you don't.

If you don't bleed red, white and blue, you're not mega.

You know, they hate you.

Exactly.

You know, you're a rhino.

You're this, like, they would hate me.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not that extreme.

I'm.

I consider myself very much in the middle, and there's some things on both sides I agree with.

And it's.

I'm probably kind of purpley on a lot of my views.

Yeah.

And I think a lot of people are like that, you know, And I just.

I don't understand how you could be like the party of inclusion, hateful, and then just the Republicans who are like, no, it's for the country.
