B.O.M. - Episode 0108 - Sunglasses Police

The Bums are back in the rail yard with S4:E0108, a special live edition, featuring Round 1 of the 20204 NFL Draft (fucking finally, draft mocks are dead - long live 2025 draft mocks); the hapless Chicago Bears get their #1 guy in Caleb “No Punting Whatsoever” Williams, book-ended with #9 over-all pick Romeo Odzune, a dynamic WR who is joining an elite cohort w/ the Bears; the death of “Da Bears” and the 1985 Bears Super Bowl (yeah, we said it); lip-flapping shifts to Chicago’s lakefront and billionaire Bears ownership's ridiculous funding plan for an indoor stadium (on the backs of Chi tax-payers), backed by Mayor BranDumb, who is completely ignoring the infrastructure and commuting issues dogging Solider Field since inception (dumb); a brief review of NBA playoffs including a bevy of game-impacting missed calls; a brief mention of NHL hockey playoffs—only because we are contractually obligated; NY Yankees' skipper Aaron Boone gets ejected 5 pitches into a game for checking his nails (watch the replay); and end part 1 with mucho bemoaning of the Chicago WhiteSux.

The half-back immediately runs into another interstellar beer review — but first Le Sarge gets a shoutout for his contribution that went the way of the cutting room floor last week (Two Bros); Eddie pops another crowler from ByWay Brewing in Hammond, IN, with “ChiPA” (6.5% ABV), an “ok” American IPA that starts good but falls flat on the finish; Rocky is in line to become a media influencer with a follow-up to “Loose Change” (ref: Episode 0065); in this week’s travelogue corner, two trips are featured (Eddie heads to Ireland and Scotland, while Rocky takes on Savannah, GA); the Paddy Report canvases a Minnesota-flavored waste of taxpayer time and money; and ends with a respectful strumming to the late, great Dicky Betts.
