B.O.M. - Episode 0132 - Michigan Southpaw

The Bums are back in the rail yard, with a special guest — Lefty (our first female guest to join the show); S5:E0132 pops off with Paddy’s ceremonial sports questionnaire (as Lefty runs “the Gauntlet”); nobody is impressed with the All Star Game but it’s discussed in the spirit of completeness — Frankenstein wins MVP honors in a unique way; the Home Run Derby crown goes to a catcher for the first time, as the Big Dumper drops a big one; the Chicago Bears rookie holdouts are nearing completion; the top knot closes with a Paddy POV on “The Open” (formerly known as the British Open).

The ponytail cracks off with a special booze review, featuring a “box set” of creations from Blue Ash Farms, located in the Driftless region of Wisconsin — and courtesy of Lefty; we had the chance to sample three different bourbon derivatives — Blue Ash Farms Bourbon, Maple Bourbon and Honey Bourbon (90 proof); interesting backstory on the distillery and owner (Bill O’Donnell, bother of actor Chris O’Donnell); all three spirits were on point, something for everyone who enjoys bourbon — high marks; Rocky goes Double Tripping (rough start to his Monday); an 18 year-old soccer phenom has a birthday party with interesting “little” guests/party favors;  the ColdPlay kiss cam strikes again; Coca-Cola’s Mexican Coke is becoming Americanized (rolls eyes); and closes with Lefty’s review of a Netflix’ “Quarterback” reality series.  Get some Bums, and some much needed grace -- straight from the left hand of our special guest!  

Recorded on July 17th, 2025 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
