The Bums are back in the rail yard —two weeks in a row— with Episode 0064. The anterior piece begins with a shout-out to the autumnal equinox, as dog days of summer are starting to hibernate; Paddy and Rocky recount their journey north of the Cheddar Curtain to see the Bears take another shot between the eyes at Lambeau Field; meanwhile, Eddie gets anointed as an auxiliary Bills Mafia member at Delilah’s in Chicago; future HOFer Eli Manning walks on at Penn State, incognito, and in character as ‘Chad Powers’ (and it’s awesome); NFL Week 2 in review as the AFC is chock full of beasts; NCAA football talk includes another firing as Herm Edwards is made redundant; MLB chatter covers two races into the history books and related trivia; the Bums lament the end of single-game tiebreaker games in MLB (boo); and wrap with another IDNKT segment focused on Chicago sports “all time” winning percentages by franchise.
The posterior piece starts with yet another intergalactically famous beer review, as McD comes through again with another creation from Boston area Lamp Lighter Brewing — “Pavona” (ABV 5%), a super crisp Italian style Pilsner; Rocky’s 3-part plan to “fix” Chicago is hashed over during Paddy and Rocky’s 3-hour drive to Green Bay; Paddy assigns the Bums homework — with a movie suggestion (“Pleasure” circa 2022); a review of Twitter’s line of the week; and close with tales of “teetering” fragile keepsakes. All of this, plus other funny shit — get some while it’s fresh!
Recorded on September 22, 2022 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL USA.
