The Bums return with S3:E0072 as the front chapter begins with Rocky recapping the B.O.M. podcast for 2022, by the numbers; the road to the Super Bowl narrows with an overview of the NFL Divisional Playoff series; Eddie tallies up the Bums playoff challenge with Rocky clinging to a razor slim lead heading into Conference championship weekend; Good guy J.J. Watt hangs up his cleats with clear line of sight of the HOF; spring MLB season is creeping up on us; legendary shot caller Pat Hughes wins a Ford Frick award; the Bums are unaminously unimpressed with HOF nominees Crime Dog and Scott Rolen (who?); the pale hose brass were sold damaged goods as defective pitcher Steve Cleving wins scumbag of the week honors; wife slapper Dana White extends his brand of white trash sports with SLAP, and the Bums are none too impressed.
The rear chapter cracks off with a double review of beer and booze; McD comes through with another creation from New England’s Trillium Brewing with Aerial Roots, a Corn India Pale Ale (7% ABV) — with a sweet nose and a bitter finish; and Paddy splurges Irish style with an 18-year old Jameson whiskey that is smoother than seal shit on a glacier — with caramel and vanilla flavors and zero burn; the Bums bid adieu to WXRT radio legend Lin Brehmer who lost his fight with cancer (RIP); Eddie asks tough questions around gun control in schools (not for the faint of heart); serial toddler NFH loses his sole-source phone during a field trip to the House of Blues in Chicago; Eddie sees a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac (well, kinda); and Paddy lets his GMC Acadia go into the cold dark night after more than a decade of faithful service. All of this and foul language to last a lifetime.
Recorded on January 26th, 2023 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters ‘East Bunker’ in Chicago, IL USA.
