    Bulls Atop the East w/Big Dave

    On this week’s episode, we’re talking all things Bulls basketball with special guest Big Dave (@BAWLSPORTS) from the CHGO Bulls Podcast. The Bulls are off to a 6–1 start and sitting atop the Eastern Conference, but is this hot streak for real or just a mirage?

As always, we close things out with our Domestic Draft Cheers & Flat Beer Awards, toasting who’s earning a cold one and who’s getting a flat pour after another wild week in Chicago sports.
