The Bums roll into the first half of Season 4, Episode 101 with talk of the Junior Varsity (college) football National Championship — to the victors go the spoils; senior golf tour prospect Nick Saban retires from JV football; Kalen DeBoer is next in line; Halas Hall cleans house with several well-earned dimissals, and will the fucking Bears please build a stadium, for all that is holy;; the Bums NFL Playoff Challenge (yes, Playoffs) returns; Black Monday by the numbers, with surprises and trivia; fuck the NFL and it’s stupid Commissioner —and their PPV debut; Cubs get some Busch and new pitcher who hails from the Land of the Rising Sun; the Blackhawks get a new goon; Genny Tacos sees ‘a Connor’ at her first NHL game; and close with a segment on Tiger “Shoeless” Woods, who is no longer affiliated with the Greek Goddess of Victory shoe company, w/ a bonus IDNKT.

The second half delivers yet another infamous beer review with Chicago’s Maplewood Brewing and their Juicy Pants (7% ABV), a New England, hazy IPA with terrific flavor—juicy as reported but without a sugary taste—high-marks; respect to actor Lacey Underall and soccer’s own Franz Beckenbauer; Rocky is done with ESPN, ushering in The Athletic era; the Bums get a read on Pat McAfee (p.s. Karen Rodgers can go screw herself); Johns Hopkins releases a “privileged” hit list (yes, really); and close with a Paddy Don’t Do That — in a Word Wars bout.  All of this value—without having to navigate any click-throughs or pay anyone $5.99 per month.  Get some while it’s fresh, and while it’s still free.
