B.O.M. - Episode 0104 - Airport Shackles

Send us Fan MailThe Bums go back-to-back with S4:E0104 — as the front end jumps into Spring-time with a pitchers and catchers report; the NBA All Star game is a steaming pile of crap, and even the legends can’t inspire improvement; Rick “The Dick” Pitino is a raging asshole who cannot resist the urge to bite the hand that feeds him; the Bears hire a very well qualified assistant coach in J. King; Rocky has worn down the Bums with pro JF1 peer pressure; only 2 Bears WRs scored six last season (yes, really); the Miracle on Ice is old AF and we are still here for it (minus Riz); Paddy thinks he has empty sports watching pockets until September, but finds some shoots of life. The back end zips into another beer review, featuring “Wolverine Premium Lager” (4.7% ABV) from Wolverine State Brewing Co. in Ann Arbor, MI, which is super light and crushable (not a winter beer); Rocky’s airline travel escapades include a new experience, in chains; Paddy is hazed by neighbors who think he’s dead in the wake of Chicago’s winter hibernation; another SIMS edition drops, featuring contemporary media and watch groups who require ZERO facts to report serious news; and close, as a wolverine storm of twenty-somethings infiltrates Chez McKee (and running is the best option).  Listen in, as Rocky’s road weary attitude is on full display (queue the “old man shouting at clouds” meme).Recorded on February 22nd, 2024 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
