Send us Fan MailThe Bums are back in the rail yard with Parte Uno of S3:E0087, “La Cucaracha”, Rocky finds another stupid way to gamble — Romba Pool; Wimbledon’s courte paume winners are reviewed (but if you expect us to know their names, you will be sorely disappointed); Northwestern University is a hot fucking mess, as President Shills responds with a whimper; NFL RBs are going the way of Dodo birds and Tasmanian tigers, extinct; JF1 is still unproven, doesn’t crack the Top 10 QB list; MLB’s beast in the east is discussed; and Johnny Bench steps on his dick. Parte Dos begins with another under-the-top beer review, with a creation from Alarmist Brewing in Chicago, IL, “Chupalagra” (ABV 4.4%), a Mexican lager inspired beer that presents as light, simple, crisp, and white bready( and maybe a bit of lime) — super clobberable; the Bums discuss Meta’s latest social media launch, Threads, and how it’s different than Twitter and other social platforms; Northwestern’s Medill journalism students win the Bums coveted “Corazón de León” award; Eddie enjoys a ‘basic brunch’ with this bride — well, eventually he does (we get the good, the bad and the stupid); a revisit of 1990’s film classics, Eddie-style; and close with an homage to crooner and humanist, Anthony Dominic Bennett.  All of this and not one god damn thing more, so get it while it’s fresh.Recorded on July 21st, 2023 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL USA.
