B.O.M. - Episode 0073 - Liver Blister

Send us Fan MailThe Bums are back in the rail yard for S3:E0073, with a review of NFL Conference Playoff Sunday and a preview of Super Bowl Cincuenta y Siete with a series of “firsts” in Super Bowl history; the Bums playoff challenge tightens another notch in the race for a “free dinner”, as Rocky clings to a lead thinner than a Communion wafer and Paddy makes a late comeback; a review of coaching hires —headlined by Sean Payton’s reentry into NFL coaching in Mile High territory; TB12 announces another retirement (yawns); Philly Eagle’s OL Josh Sills wins dirtbag medal by catching rape and kidnapping charges; Arian Foster is listening to Joe Rogan too often with his claim that the NFL is rigged (scripted WWF style); Nick Bosa isn’t  squeaky clean; FFL last place punishments are getting increasingly more creative; RIP to Chicago BlackEyeHawks legend Bobby “The Golden Jet” — as his legacy has two diametrically opposed chapters (one good and one bad); and wrap with a quick chat around NBA headlines (including LeBron watch and ‘the suck’ that is the Bulls).   The suffix edition kicks off with a back-to-back “double booze” review (liver’s beware), starting with Lamp Lighter Brewing’s ‘Werewolves of Cambridge’ (7.2% ABV), an approachable, smooth English Pale Malt Porter that smacks with toffee, coffee and caramel (thanks McD!!)— followed by a review of ‘Drumchameau’, a Pinot Noir Cask single pot Irish single malt — that presents as a bit grainy, flavored with honey and vanilla — similar to a traditional Japanese whiskey; Eddie gets his heavy metal fix while being price gouged at the hands of Chicago’s Radius venue in China Town; RIP to Shirley Williams of “Laverne and Shirley” TV fame — rendering Lenny the last stooge standing; the Bums go day drinking with Paddy’s Big East pals (2 out of 10 dentists approve);  the classic movie “The Sting” holds up over time (kinda sorta); and nobody on the planet is happy with the Rock and Roll HOF nominees (zero stars, do not recommend).   All this without the sharp stick in the eye.Recorded on February 2nd, 2023 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters ‘East Bunker’ in Chicago, IL USA.
