B.O.M. - Episode 0151 - Vanilla Gorilla

The bums make a triumphant return to the rail yard — as Paddy returns from the wars of LBK, FL to reunite our trio;  NFL Draft season has come and gone, the bums break-down the Bears picks and acquisitions; Dan Hampton thinks Ben is arrogant; Babe Laufenberg and his place in IU draft history; a Masters recap ensues — Rory has a one chance to do something nobody else has done before; Sergio needs to explore why he’s so angry; the MLB has a few early dismissals (uncharacteristic) and ouch; the Cubs pitching roster looks like a M*A*S*H unit; and close the top half, as Dianna Rossini and Mike Vrabel find themselves in hot (tub) water.  

The second half snaps off with a Triple booze review, featuring a holy trinity of rum, beer and bourbon; Paddy shares Richland Rum’s “Single Estate Old South Georgia Rum’ (112.4 proof, 56.2% ABV), a copper pot distilled masterpiece from Brunswick, Georgia; Eddie, courtesy of BIL Big D, shares a creation from BuckleDown Brewing— ‘Party Pillow’ (5.3% ABV) an unfiltered Hefeweizen that’s yeasty and bready; and Rocky completes the cycle with Old Bourbon County’s ‘Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey’ (110 proof; 55% ABV), from Paris, KY, an amazing value production; Eddie and family get a good look at comedian Hannibal Buress in Skokie, IL (Google it); Dave’s legacy carries on — micro dose style (so appropriate); Rocky and Lucy visit Louisville during Kentucky Derby Kickoff (Sunday Funday at Churchill Downs); and close with highlights from Paddy’s 60-day sabbatical on the island of long boat key.  Get a fresh dose, all of them are free. You’re welcome. 

Recorded on April 29th, 2026 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
