    Good Obsession?

    Colokum Craft Coffee USE THE PROMO CODE "WSMG15" FOR 15% OFF YOUR COFFEE PURCHASE Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 25 Good Obsession? NATIONAL DAY: National Red Wine Day — Raise a glass of red wine. BIRTHDAY: Jennifer Coolidge (born 1961) — Actress known for Legally Blonde, The White Lotus, and (Stiffler’s Mom) American Pie. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1963 — Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. ----- GOOD OBSESSION? (OutKick / Fox News) Good Good Golf and Callaway released a driver ad showing co-founder Garrett Clark shoving Good Good member Alexis Miestowski to the ground after she reached for the club. The ad was deleted and Good Good apologized. Callaway later acknowledged that it had approved the ad before publication. The backlash spread beyond social media: retailers reportedly pulled Good Good merchandise, the Big Break X Good Good premiere was delayed, and the future of the November Good Good Championship became a "fluid situation." By Aug. 27, Callaway announced it was cutting ties with Good Good and donating $1 million to programs addressing violence against women. ----- MORON MOURNING (New York Post) NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publicly mourned the death of Rikers Island inmate Clarence Woodward, who was awaiting trial in the 2024 killing of Jose Miranda. The Post reports Woodward had nearly 30 prior arrests. Miranda's family blasted Mamdani's remarks as insensitive because the mayor's message did not acknowledge their murdered relative. ----- BUT DAD!? (New York Post) San Bernardino-area teens were arrested after an alleged attack connected to a TikTok-driven confrontation involving a father and a jacuzzi. The segment gives the show a lighter, absurd-crime finish after two heavier stories. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

    SCAM LIKELY

    Colokum Craft Coffee USE THE PROMO CODE "WSMG15" FOR 15% OFF YOUR COFFEE PURCHASE Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 24 SCAM LIKELY NATIONAL DAY: National Just Because Day — A day to do something kind or fun for no particular reason. BIRTHDAY: Aaron Paul (born 1979) — Actor best known for Breaking Bad. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 2003 — Mars made its closest approach to Earth in nearly 60,000 years. ----- SCAM LIKELY (FTC / Consumer Protection) Your phone used to ring because somebody had your number. Now a scammer can arrive with your number, your relatives, your habits — and maybe a cloned voice that sounds like somebody you love. • AI voice cloning can turn short public audio clips into convincing impersonations. • Caller-ID spoofing and cheap internet calling make mass scam attempts easy to launch and hard to trace. • FTC: consumers reported $3.5 billion lost to imposter scams in 2025. ------ THE NEW PHONE BOOK’S HERE! (FTC / Data Brokers) The old phone book gave strangers a name, address and number. The modern version can assemble far more — public records, online activity, relatives, location information and commercially collected data. • People-search sites are data brokers: they compile information from public records, public profiles and other brokers, then sell or share reports. • The FTC has pursued cases involving sensitive location data and has warned brokers about restrictions on transferring sensitive American data to foreign adversaries. • The punchline: an industry profits from collecting the data, while another industry sells us blocking, monitoring, removal and identity-protection services. ----- THE CLOUD HAS A POWER BILL (U.S. Department of Energy) The scammer is not sitting inside a data center — but the digital economy that makes massive-scale data collection, AI, automation and cloud computing possible lives on physical infrastructure. • AI growth is one driver of rapidly rising data-center electricity demand. • DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scenarios estimate data centers could account for roughly 9.5%–15.3% of U.S. electricity use by 2030. • The Road Rage question: we eliminated the phone book, automated the middleman, monetized the information — and now we need enormous buildings and enormous amounts of electricity to keep the digital machine running. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

BIRTHDAY: Melissa McCarthy (born 1970) — Actress and comedian (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, Mike & Molly). THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1968 — The Beatles released the single “Hey Jude.” ----- LEAD STORY — CHEAP THRILLS (New York Post) San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in Ohio after allegedly responding to an online prostitution ad and agreeing to pay $140 for sex. Reporting says the encounter led him to a mobile-home park, where police arrested him; he later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The NFL said it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy. ----- SECOND STORY — 911 ON TRIAL (Fox News) Fox News reports that the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, a Smithsonian affiliate, uses its 9/11 exhibit and anniversary programming to emphasize discrimination and government actions affecting Arab and Muslim communities after the attacks. The museum has received federal grant funding. The report contrasts that emphasis with the 2,977 people killed on September 11, 2001 and notes continuing political scrutiny over how federally connected museums present American history. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

    Jury Doobie

    Colokum Craft Coffee USE THE PROMO CODE "WSMG15" FOR 15% OFF YOUR COFFEE PURCHASE Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 22 Jury Doobie NATIONAL DAY: Kiss and Make Up Day — A day to resolve conflicts, forgive, and reconcile with loved ones. BIRTHDAY: Sean Connery (born 1930) — Actor best known as the original James Bond. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1835 — The “Great Moon Hoax” began when The New York Sun published fabricated stories of life on the Moon. ----- JURY DOOBIE (Not the Bee) A Pennsylvania murder trial went up in smoke after a court officer smelled marijuana in the jury room. Each juror was questioned privately, but all denied smoking or ingesting anything that could affect judgment. The defense requested a mistrial, the judge granted it, and the case will have to be tried again. ROAD RAGE angle: twelve people, one unmistakable smell, and apparently nobody knows how it got there. ----- I TOLD YOU; YOU’LL GO BLIND… (Fox News) New research is raising concern about long-term tadalafil use and glaucoma risk. Tadalafil, best known as Cialis, is a PDE5 inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction and also for urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. A large observational study found an association with increased glaucoma and ocular-hypertension risk; researchers stress that the findings do not prove the drug causes glaucoma and do not recommend patients simply stop taking it. ROAD RAGE angle: the old warning about going blind finally gets a pharmaceutical plot twist. ----- LANDFILL LANDSLIDE (Fox News) At least 30 people were reported killed after a massive open-air landfill collapsed onto nearby homes in Conakry, Guinea. Heavy rain contributed to dangerous conditions as rescuers searched through debris for survivors. ROAD RAGE angle: keep the treatment respectful—the headline lends itself to wordplay, but the underlying event is a genuine mass-casualty tragedy. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

BIRTHDAY: Dave Chappelle (born 1973) — Stand-up comedian and actor known for Chappelle’s Show. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1869 — Cornelius Swartwout received a U.S. patent for the waffle iron. ----- ECONOMIC RETARDS (New York Times) America’s gross national debt has crossed $40 trillion for the first time. Treasury data put total public debt outstanding at roughly $40.047 trillion, including about $32.266 trillion held by the public and $7.782 trillion in intragovernmental holdings. The milestone arrived amid renewed concern over deficits, interest costs and Washington’s bipartisan appetite for borrowing. ----- FONDUE WHO? (Fox News) A trip back to the American dinner table of the 1960s, when convenience food collided with a growing appetite for international cuisine. Fondue became a party centerpiece, casseroles thrived on canned ingredients, Julia Child helped make foreign dishes less intimidating, and French onion dip became a household standby. ----- TAX ME HARDER! (Fox News) Parents at Middle Creek Elementary in Wake County, North Carolina, are asking for an alternative to a music class taught by a transgender teacher. Father Aaron Driver argued families should not have to pay into the public-school system and then pay again for private school or homeschooling when requesting an opt-out. The school-board fight also featured a commenter suggesting homeschooling, relocation or even expulsion of children whose parents she called “bigots.” ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

    ROYAL FLUSH

    Colokum Craft Coffee Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 20 ROYAL FLUSH NATIONAL DAY: National Senior Citizens Day — Honors and shows appreciation for older adults and their contributions. BIRTHDAY: Usain Bolt (born 1986) — Jamaican sprinter and multiple Olympic gold medalist, widely regarded as the fastest man in history. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1959 — Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the proclamation. ----- LEAD STORY ROYAL FLUSH (NEW YORK POST) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be considering listing their Montecito estate amid reports of a possible return to the UK. They bought the roughly 7.4-acre property for $14.65 million in 2020. The mansion is about 18,000 square feet with nine bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, and experts cited by the Post suggest a possible listing near $75 million, with a potential sale in the $55-$65 million range. ----- ONE STEP BEYOND (FOX NEWS) Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says he would go beyond Bernie Sanders' proposal for public ownership of major AI companies, arguing for greater "public control" of the industry. He floated ideas including public representatives on corporate boards or a public oversight body, saying AI's risks justify stronger democratic control. The debate: regulation, public ownership, or government control? ----- WE HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT? (NOT THE BEE) The UK's Home Office has produced guidance for asylum seekers explaining British laws and expectations involving rape, sexual consent and child sexual abuse. The materials explain that sexual activity without consent is illegal and that sexual activity involving children remains illegal regardless of perceived age or practices elsewhere. The obvious Road Rage question: why does a government believe these rules need to be spelled out? ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

    For Only a Penny

    Colokum Craft Coffee Boomer Bunker Dischord Become a Bunker Dweller 19 For Only a Penny NATIONAL DAY: National Bacon Lovers Day — Celebrate crispy, savory bacon in all its forms. BIRTHDAY: Robert Plant (born 1948) — Lead singer of Led Zeppelin. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1920 — The American Professional Football Association (later the NFL) was formed. ----- FOR ONLY A PENNY (ABC10) Columbia House, the mail-order music and movie club that became a pop-culture fixture with penny-priced introductory deals, is finally shutting down after 71 years. Founded in 1955, the club rode vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs and later DVDs, reaching about 16 million members at its mid-1990s peak. New media orders end September 15, 2026, closing a nostalgic chapter for generations who remember those tiny album stickers and too-good-to-be-true offers. ----- I'M TIRED (New York Post) California regulators unanimously approved new replacement-tire efficiency rules aimed at reducing rolling resistance and fuel or electricity use. Phase 1 begins in 2029 with a 9.1 N/kN maximum rolling-resistance standard; Phase 2 tightens it to 7.2 N/kN in 2033. The rules could eliminate a significant share of tires now sold in California, fueling concerns about price, choice, traction and cross-border tire shopping. ----- YOU'RE FLOCKING WRONG! (Reason) Flock Safety says more than 120,000 automated license-plate cameras operate across 49 states and process more than 20 billion vehicle reads each month. Reason highlights wrongful stops, bad matches, data sharing and officers abusing searches to track former partners. The controversy raises the central question: can a nationwide vehicle-tracking network be trusted with police access, or are stronger warrants, audits and limits—or fewer cameras—the answer? ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

BIRTHDAY: Gene Roddenberry (born 1921) — Creator of Star Trek. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 2004 — Google went public with its initial public offering (IPO). - $85 – Now $350 ----- I'M BIOLOGICALLY A THIEF (NEW YORK POST) New York Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher drew backlash after saying people stealing basics such as toothpaste or soap may be committing “crimes of poverty” tied to biological need. Gallagher favors treatment, food assistance and housing support over arrests and jail; critics argue excusing theft shifts costs to paying customers and can drive retailers out of communities. ----- ANOTHER HOOT OF A LOOT (NEW YORK POST) A family-owned Bellflower, California store was ransacked by dozens during a street takeover, leaving nearly $30,000 in damage and stolen merchandise, according to the New York Post. The mob attack turned an illegal driving spectacle into a direct hit on a small business and renewed concerns over street takeovers spilling into looting and property crime. ----- TRUMP AND THE KOREA'S (GROUND NEWS) President Trump ordered the Pentagon to substantially reduce long-planned U.S.-South Korea military exercises. He cited their cost, his relationship with Kim Jong Un and the hostile signal the drills send North Korea. Trump also linked the move to Seoul declining a U.S. request connected to denuclearizing Iran; South Korea says it is monitoring the shift. ----- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

(Ground News) An American tourist from Kansas died after being struck by lightning while hiking Mount Etna in Sicily. Reports say he entered an area closed because of ongoing volcanic activity and was caught in a thunderstorm. Rescuers reached him by helicopter, but he later died. On an erupting volcano, lightning turned out to be the immediate danger. ------ I DID IT FOR THE NOOKIE… (New York Post) Newly declassified FBI records, as reported by the New York Post, say Eric Swalwell acknowledged in 2015 that he had a sexual relationship with Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. Earlier reporting had established Fang cultivated political contacts and helped Swalwell's network, but had not established a sexual relationship with him. ------ CENK SINKS DAUGHTERS (Not the Bee) Cenk Uygur said he would rather see his daughters finish behind a transgender athlete than support policies he believes could traumatize transgender kids. He framed the issue as compassion versus the relatively small number of disputed cases; critics argue the real question is fairness and protected opportunities in girls' sports.

She draws a handgun during the confrontation. Police are investigating the theft, while legal experts warn that an armed bystander can face serious legal consequences when property theft alone does not present an immediate deadly threat. SEX SELLS DEM MESSAGE (Fox News) California congressional candidate Marni von Wilpert held a fundraiser at San Diego’s Gossip Grill, an LGBTQ nightclub known for sexually suggestive event names and menu branding. Republicans attacked the venue choice and her LGBTQ policy agenda. Wilpert lists LGBTQ rights and passage of the Equality Act among her campaign priorities and has defended LGBTQ-themed library materials. ------ ID REQUIRED! HOW DARE YOU!!! (Not the Bee) Kamala Harris criticized President Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act, saying it would create voting obstacles and “require proof of who you are to vote.” Not the Bee mocked the remark as an accidental sales pitch for the proposal. The political dispute is over proposed federal proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration, not whether noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. ------ SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1945 — Japan’s unconditional surrender was announced (V-J Day in the United States), effectively ending World War II. ------ Deleted (Not the Bee) A man denied alcohol for having no ID allegedly returned to a Riverton, Utah gas station carrying a shotgun. Police say an armed customer inside opened fire, killing Ofa'tangikivaha Angilau. The armed citizen remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Riverton officials called incidents like this rare while noting situations like this are why some people choose to carry concealed firearms. ------ Another Undocumented Tragedy (New York Post) Marcos Iriarte-Valdez is charged with murdering 68-year-old Todd Stewart during an alleged Martinez, California home burglary. Court records show Iriarte-Valdez was already facing felony burglary charges and had been released again on August 5 after an alleged home-detention violation. Stewart was killed August 6. Federal authorities have identified Iriarte-Valdez as being unlawfully in the U.S. ------ HiFly WiFi (Fox News) Passengers aboard Delta Flight 591 from Las Vegas to Atlanta spotted an unauthorized Wi-Fi network called “Delta Wifi Fast,” prompting the crew to shut down onboard Wi-Fi for about 30 minutes.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1952 — Big Mama Thornton recorded the original version of “Hound Dog” (later made famous by Elvis Presley). ------ DJ Diss— New York Post After nearly four decades behind the microphone, a veteran San Francisco radio personality left the building with the verbal equivalent of tossing the studio keys through the window. Following his departure from Cumulus Media, his farewell post took direct aim at corporate radio and the people running it. Apparently the final segment wasn't subject to management approval. ------ ICE Ambush— New York Post Two federal workers were hospitalized after an anti-ICE demonstration outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles turned violent. Authorities said a crowd estimated at 40 to 50 people surrounded and attacked the workers Sunday. Video captured portions of the confrontation as tensions surrounding federal immigration enforcement continue boiling over in LA. ------ Decoy Donnie— Not the Bee A reported Iranian assassination threat led to some presidential-grade misdirection in Turkey. Trump publicly boarded the legacy Air Force One, then secretly exited through the opposite side and was transported by catering truck to a smaller C-32A. The 747 departed with journalists and staff aboard while Trump quietly flew separately to Britain. Now critics are questioning the deception. ------ SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

BIRTHDAY: Mark Knopfler (born 1949) — Guitarist and frontman of Dire Straits. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1981 — IBM introduced its first personal computer (the IBM PC Model 5150), helping popularize personal computing. ------ THE NEW AMERICAN PASTIME: LOOTING (New York Post) An East Los Angeles AutoZone was ransacked twice within 24 hours as street takeovers hit the same intersection over the weekend. Video from Sunday shows a large masked crowd smashing windows and pouring into the store before fleeing with merchandise. Forget baseball, hot dogs and apple pie—apparently the new weekend activity is grabbing an alternator and running. ------ SHOW ME THE MONEY (Fox News) Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed says Medicare for All would change how Americans pay for healthcare: instead of insurance premiums, people could pay “a little bit more” in taxes. When pressed about people earning under $1 million, he didn't directly say no, arguing higher taxes would replace private insurance payments while providing healthcare without job-dependent coverage. ------ BARE BAIT (Fox19) Missouri prosecutors say a man was injected with drugs, cut with a knife and shot with an airsoft or BB gun during what the victim described as a bizarre “sex game.” He says his alleged attacker then made him run from a hunting blind and shot toward him as he fled. The victim says he survived by hiding in the woods for about five days.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1992 — The Mall of America, then the largest shopping mall in the U.S., opened in Bloomington, Minnesota. DIED DOING WHAT THEY LOVED (New York Post) Thirty-year-old elite climber Jake Whisenant, known for record-setting speed climbs on Yosemite’s El Capitan, has died in a climbing accident in California’s Sierra Nevada. In 2024, Whisenant and Brant Hysell climbed El Capitan’s notoriously difficult Lurking Fear route in under three hours. Earlier this year, Whisenant climbed the Nose twice in a single day. Details of the fatal accident have not yet been released. ------ FOOL ME TWICE? (KTVU FOX 2) The FDA has approved Moderna’s mFlusiva, the first mRNA influenza vaccine, for adults 50 and older. It uses the same basic mRNA platform familiar from COVID vaccines but targets influenza instead of SARS-CoV-2. Moderna’s pivotal Phase 3 program included more than 40,000 adults, while its broader safety database included more than 71,000 participants. Flu season just got an mRNA sequel. ------ DON’T GO IN THE WATER (KTVU FOX 2) Louisiana has reported five deaths from Vibrio vulnificus this year, prompting warnings about the potentially deadly bacterium found naturally in warm coastal and brackish water. Infection can occur through raw shellfish or when contaminated water contacts an open wound. Despite its scary “flesh-eating” nickname, health officials say that term is medically inaccurate. Maybe keep the Band-Aid out of the Gulf. ------ SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker Aaron of I had to Say it Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show Supporters: Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@weatherdsoul.com

Nothing says “public safety” like turning police surveillance into Find My Ex. ------ WOKE COKE (New York Post) Coca-Cola’s personalized-can filters came under fire after testing reportedly found bizarre inconsistencies: some political and religious phrases were rejected while other controversial phrases got through. Coca-Cola says its rules prohibit certain political, religious, trademarked and inappropriate messages.
