On the top of Episode 0047, the Bums perform a forensic analysis of Super Bowl 56 in all of its splendor; while two NFL owners find themselves in aqua caliente (which is Spanish for “hot water” and English for “rat fucked”); as talk turns to NCAA hoops, and Paddy’s beloved Xavier Musketeers experience RPI shrinkage; the 2022 Winter Olympics and figure skating get a black eye on the blades of Kamila Valieva (the sneaky Russians are at it again); and hopes of spring MLB are slimmer than air at 35,000 feet.
Turning to the bottom half, another beer review takes center stage — this time at the hands of Brooklyn, NY’s own Other Half Brewing and their ‘Short, Dark & Handsome’ peanut butter and milk chocolate stout (ABV 7.2%); Eddie and Paddy take a field trip to Chicago’s Avondale Tap, Paddy panics and gives Fedex the good ol’ deer in headlights (find out why); Eddie recounts the gender gap in gift giving; the Bums review two episodes from the popular Netflix series, Bad Sports — the Enter Sandman episode is not for the faint of heart and/or PETA members; as Episode 0047 closes with a farewell to United Kingdom’s Ye Olde Fighting Cocks public house, purported to be the oldest pub in history (circa 793 AD).
Recorded on February 17th, 2022 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters ‘East Bunker’ in Chicago, IL USA.
