John and The Duchess discuss a range of topics from pickleball to political issues and celebrity wealth.

The Boomer Bunker goes full-throttle out of the gate with John and the Duchess diving headfirst into everything from pickleball debuts to political circus acts.

From there, the conversation rolls through celebrity wealth, divorce paydays, Jeff Bezos laying off Washington Post staff and defending it as a businessman should, and a deep dive into whether Elon Musk owes the world anything just for being rich. Spoiler: he doesn't. The back half of the show gets into the Delaney Hall ICE detention protests in New Jersey, Democrat senators showing up on Memorial Day, protest signs fresh off a printing plant, Antifa chants rhyming their way into history, and Trump calling it "a very nice facility." Also on the docket: the DOJ's new criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll for alleged perjury, her pre-trial costume strategy explained in her own words, and the moment that sent Anderson Cooper straight to commercial. We wrap it up with a spicy listener voicemail from Daniel in Arizona, who calls out Boomers vs Gen Z…
