B.O.M. - Episode 0102 - Irish Tacos

Send us Fan MailThe Bums are back in the rail yard  with S4:E0102, and the people rejoiced; things heat up on the front half with an NFL review/preview — playoff edition; NFL commush Roger Baddell takes another step backwards with a bid to scoop up troubled media firm, ESPN; Jim Irsay is this close to being found dead on the road side; Rocky bemoans a marriage between Kliff Kingsbury and “Me Guy” Caleb Williams in Chicago; college footballer Cam McCormick may very well earn himself a pension; while Chicago MLB baseball fans are running out of sharp sticks to poke the Cubs and Sox into doing something (anything) in the off season; the rumor mill suggest the Pale Hose could move the circus to Clark and Roosevelt (to what end); MLB Hall of Famers do their bidding — featuring Joe Mauer and Adrián Beltré as hopefuls; and close with the owner of the NY Knicks and Rangers (and the new “Sphere” in Sin City) joins the likes of Harry Weinstein as a criminally ill butthole.The second half ushers in another majestic beer review with a production from Temperance Brewing — “Escapist” (6.7% ABV), an IPA with a nice nose, but a lot of oils on the finish (long, lingering tongue); Chicago is hit between the eyes with an arctic wave - no bien; Eddie’s youngest takes Dublin, Ireland by storm; it turns out that electric cars need anti-freeze after all; Paddy drops a rant focused on people who are speed challenged; and close as the Bums lament venture capitalism, and bust ups of Sports Illustrated and Anchor Steam brewing.  Get it while it’s hot, well, at least lukewarm.Recorded on January 19th, 2024 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
