B.O.M. - Episode 0046 - Shiver on the River

The Bums are back for Episode 0046 after Rocky’s back-to-back boondoggle (WI and MI respectively); the stage is set, the t-shirts are printed, the banners are hung, the ladies of the evening are called — it’s Super Bowl preview time; a breeze by of who Bears GM, Ryan Poles, picks for his field generals; Tom F. Brady puts his legacy out to pasture (with or without cow pies, you decide); the NFL head coaching hiring circuit is white hot (whiter than Lovie Smith’s beard); The Washington Football Team’s new moniker sucks a bag of you know whats; Rocky Wirtz is defiant in his corruption and despicable behavior, as the BlackEyeHawks remain in the penalty box; NCCA hijinks ensue; former NFL lineman Greg Robinson had better call Saul; before the bums close with a discussion around how NBA Celtic Enis Freedom Kantor gets Kaepernicked. 

The back nine kicks off with another infamous beer review, with a look see into ‘Hexe Vibraniyum’ (ABV 6%) from Chicago’s own Empirical Brewing, a coffee forward brown ale with some pleasant surprises;  the bums bid WKR.I.P. to Howard Hesseman, aka as Dr. Johnny Fever from the popular 70s/80s sitcom; things get dark AF as Paddy recounts the shocking carnage in the wake of USC’s Dr. Geroge Tyndall systemic abuse; Rocky reviews Kohler, WI’s American Club and Kohler Spa (and discovers an absolute gem in Trattoria Stefano — upscale Southern Italian in nearby Sheboygan, WI) and also recounts the majesty that is the Pere Marquette river in the dead of winter, aka ‘The Shiver on the River’; before the bums close with a discussion around the responsibility of media giants. 

Recorded on February 10th, 2022 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters ‘East Bunker’ in Chicago, IL USA.
