  • Belly Up: Bears, Bulls & Cubs
    Apr 24 2025

    On this episode of the Domestic Draft Podcast, Dan and Evan crack open a new series called “Belly Up”—a throwback to their weekly barstool catch-ups back in the Chicago days. Just like old times, they’re diving deep into Chicago sports with a cold one in hand.

    First up, they break down the Bears' upcoming draft, sharing who they want to see in navy and orange—and who they think the team will actually take. Then it’s over to the North Side, where the Cubs are rolling and bringing some much-needed joy to Chicago fans. But it’s not all sunshine—Dan gives his painfully honest (and slightly depressed) take on the state of the Bulls organization.

    Tune in for draft predictions, Cubs hype, and a little Bulls misery, all served up with that classic Domestic Draft banter.
