The Bums are back with S3:E0088 —Polish Trout.  The top knot kicks off with a MLB trade deadline recap; the Bums stumble upon some goofy ass player names: the Chicago Cubs had been on a terror that helped them set an MLB record (don’t get too excited); well wishes all around for Bronny James, who’s laid up with a cardiac health issue (wishing for a speedy recovery); Paddy drops a micro-IDNKT segment focused on the Chicago Bulls team logo; Miles “Mizzard” Mikolas eats a live lizard on the baseball diamond; Jim Harbaugh is in hot water but gets out without as much as a first degree burn; the NCAA’s Big Ten Conference is turning into a fucking joke with news breaking on the latest expansion (now a coast-to-coast super conference); Rocky not happy (very) with any of this college level, junior varsity bullshit; an update from Evanston as the student lawsuits pile up, and a former U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, is commissioned to help unfuck Northwestern’s situation; Packer’s CEO Mark Murphy has an itchy culo; Preseason NFL football is amongst us, and future HOFer, Demarcus Ware, sings the National anthem —with gusto; new Chicago Bear middle linebacker Tre Edmunds is legit; Rocky finds a knockout sports documentary on Max (formerly known as HBO) — a biopioc named “Golden Boy”, featuring boxing legend Oscar De LeHoya.

The ponytail kicks off with a proposed podcast name change (in the wake of all the Barbie hoo ha) — and nobody is biting; the Bums instigate another superhuman beer review with Ben River Brewing’s “Jalapeño Pepper Ale” (4.8% ABV), a wheat ale infused with over 150 pounds of peppers in every batch; you can tell it’s jalapeño infused before, during and after; Rocky’s charcoal grilling exploits continue with another round of BBQ’d beef short ribs, and a backup plan featuring polish rainbow trout; the Bums recount a litany of recent passings that include Rocky Wirtz, Sinead O’Conner, Randy Meisner, Paul Rubens (and not ONE fucking “C-lister” was recognized); Orange Hitler is indicted yet again; the Bums discuss the reality of Chinese Sun Bears; and close with a salute to birthday bum, Paddy, with a unique funeral-style celebration.   Intrigued? Interested?  Bored?   We got you.   Don’t fuck around and find out that you’ve missed something.  Tune in!

Recorded on August 3rd, 2023 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL USA.
