Bums of Manarchy
3 knuckleheads in Chicago, talking shit. For fun. The “Bums of Manarchy” is a Chicago-based podcast, hosted by 3 friends. Our weekly format is recorded in two parts. The first half content is all about sports, and the second half is for everything else (beer reviews, life hacks, complaints, knowledge drops, geo-political issues, streaming show reviews, etc.). Sports in the front, party in the back. Give us a listen! We take listener requests seriously!
Bums of Manarchy
B.O.M. - Episode 0080 - Three Dollars
The Bums usher in the front half of S3:E0080 with a new mascot (Bohdi the Bum) and an NBA playoff rundown; the Greek Freak has a wonky back; nobody outside of Orange County is pulling for the Lakers; Draymond draws a playoff edition suspension for Game 3 based on sins of the past; as talk turns to MLB, the Cubbies have a solid circus tour out west and remain above .500; the Pale Hose injury bug continues to bite (someone is getting fired); good guy Liam kicks cancer right in the dick; Sherzer gets a little vacation; Sin City is eyeballing a new sporting tenant; NFL updates as the Bears plan to add an upcharge to ticket prices to escape the absolute shithole that is Solider Field (and the Bums are A-OK with that); galactically stupid NFL players get busted gambling (against clear cut rules) and the suspensions and cuts run deep; Commie fans are dreaming of better times as Dan “Shit Bag” Snyder is on the verge on making billions; Mike Tidwell is next in our sights; and the close as the Bums pause their NHL ban with a Jonathan Toews send off.
The back half of the mullet is flowing with another infamous beer review, featuring Bartlett, IL’s More Brewing Company, with “Villa Pils” (4.8% ABV), a German-style pilsner that is crisper than More’s brew house construction planning (we’re still waiting); Chicago is set for a mid/major perfect storm of traffic chaos between the Kennedy Expressway’s 3-year construction fiasco, a multi-year NASCAR racing commitment that conflicts with the Taste of Chicago, and the Democratic National Convention; Paddy returns from the wars in FLA (and his liver is exhausted); the Bums cover the “states” of 4/20 with the latest from DISA compliance firm on MJ legality; the Bums bid adieu to Mad Magazine’s Al Jaffee (102 y/o) and ‘bit actor’/super Italian Frank Vallelonga Jr. (80 y/o) is found dead from a cocaine and fentanyl O.D. (his Pops played Carmen Lip in the Sopranos); Elon “Snake Oil Salesman” Musk chalks up another praised failure as Starship self-explodes; and close with a brief look at the HBO’s still viperous “Succession” series. The Bums have lots to say, so listen TF up.
Recorded April 21st, 2023 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
