HypoJohndriac | 451
John Jamingo showed up gassy, nauseous, and convinced it's stomach cancer, and the Duchess wasn't buying it. Tonight's Boomer Bunker starts at Six Flags Magic Mountain, where more than 100 riders say the X2 roller coaster gave them brain injuries. Then it's down memory lane to New Jersey's legendary death trap, Action Park, a.k.a. "Class Action Park": the Grave Pool, the Alpine Slide, and a water slide that reportedly took a test dummy's head off. Plus Great Adventure stories: Free Fall, Cheap Trick, the karaoke booth, and the night the punks flipped the tram.
Then it's Eagles tailgaters vs. the parking lot. New rules double the price for RVs and split up decades-old tailgates, and fans have formed the Philadelphia Association for Tailgating to fight back. The Philly teacher called the "Palestinian Rachel Dolezal" admits she faked being Palestinian and Black, a UN report documents forced marriages of girls in Gaza, and a Kansas City mom who put her baby in an oven gets 13 years after the murder charge is dropped.
To wrap up, CNN heads to the Trump-donor Ellison family, Kara Swisher wants out, Kate reads Trump's latest post, and the chat turns John's stomach trouble into the episode title.
