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 0105 - We've Got The Jack
The Bums are back in the rail yard with S4:E0105 and special guest, ‘Dr. Jack’ (aka ‘Dentist to the Stars’) — following intros, the four stooges waste no time yucking it up with a ‘bums style’ retirement party for good ol’ #7 of Chicago Blackhawks fame; despite a scrappy start, Connor Bedard is home-schooled by the greatest U.S. NHL player in league history; the Cubbies bring home their starting center fielder, Cody B; talk turns to the National Pig Skin Lottery (more commonly known as the NFL Draft), where everyone is tired AF of listening to dumbasses guessing at who goes where; NFL draft prospect Tyler “Texas Shortbus” Owens doesn’t believe in outer space or planets (not a misprint); Bears free agency news and rumors are covered like a Beatles song; NFL pen pal Peter King hangs up his Smith Corona; in another embarrassing move, the Denver Broncos are burning money like recreational weed with the release of washout Russell “Dang” Wilson (welcome to Pittsburgh); former Bear placekicker, Robbie “Good As” Gould, is making his bones as a head coach; Caitlin Clark busts Pistol Pete Maravich’s NCAA scoring record open like a fucking walnut (she is special); DeMar DeRozan is the NBA’s Minute Man; incredible sportsmanship is the silver lining to a swimmingly stupid ACC rule; Mike Tyson is going to hospitalize Jake Paul; and the first half closes with a surprisingly agreeable quote from Nick Saban (again, not a misprint).
The flop kicks off with a double, ‘Dr. Jack’ inspired beer review that features two creations from Downers Grove, IL’s Goldfinger Brewing Company — Goldfinger Pils (ABV 4.9%), a delicious German-style pilsner with pumped up hops with a small bite that finishes smoothly with hints of herbs and honey, and continues with Goldfinger Vienna-style Lager (ABV 5.5%), a rock solid, medium-bodied lager that is both complex (double decoction brewed with Czech Saaz hops) and crushable (light and balanced); Larry David’s bestie, Richard Lewis, sadly expires — making us chuckle until the very end; talk turns to a $1 billion gift; an exceedingly ignorant mom loses a disability case due to…. tree throwing; emerging Netflix TV series “The Gentleman” is discussed; before closing with a new Paddy Report segment, and a review from a recent Steely Dan/Eagles concert!! They can’t all be gems, but this one is Dr. Jack assisted — so check it out while it’s fresh!
Recorded on March 9th, 2024 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
