Ep.55 - Ticket chaos; Illini back together; NFL Draft preview; DRAFT: best sporting events; Pied-a-Terre tax; Giga-Chad

Dan Drews welcomes back Brennen Roberts for a one-year anniversary episode of Bub’s Pub—which means it’s time to get sentimental, revisit the 2025 NFL Draft preview, and remind everyone (again) that one of them “nailed several picks”… just sayin’. The guys tackle a modern tragedy: the affordability of live sports. It’s back to business in Champaign as they size up Illinois basketball’s huge returning core and newcomers, before going full draft-nerd with the Bears’ picks, why safety is screaming “need,” and a seven-round mock that will definitely age perfectly. Plus: Brennen’s quick-hit reactions to the week’s sports headlines, “term of the week” so you can casually drop pied-à-terre at your next function, and a truly absurd weird story that proves the only thing more unpredictable than the draft is a guy in a bear suit trying to commit insurance fraud.
