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 0126 - High Holidays
The Bums are back in the rail yard with S5:E0126, where the top knot starts with some Super Bowl mop up work on the wings of the Pheagles D; the Sharpe brothers become the first brothers inducted into the HOF; NFH rejoices at Eli’s first ballot snub; the stupid Packers press to eliminate the Tush Push; Paddy walks the NFL Players Association’s team report card; as College Basketball heats up, early talk of snoozers and losers; the Big Ten’s hypocrisy is alive and well; talk turns to MLB as Wade Boggs rings the cancer recovery bell, while Bobby Jenks simultaneously fights for his life among the Portuguese; the Cubbies Cactus League record is tops (meaninglessness notwithstanding); the Cubs sign a Wilding — who joins a roster that reads like an owl farm (who.. who… who…); the NY Yankees shelf Steinbrenner’s infamous, 49-y/o beard ban; a What’s In A Name segment ensues, and wrap as the Bums celebrate Diana “White Mamba”Taurasi’s as she hangs up her sports bra as a possible GOAT.
The ponytail swings in with another inter-gallatically famous beer review, featuring Chicago’s own Old Irving Brewing —and their St. Irish Red Ale, “Lucky Linny” (ABV 6.0%) — with enough flavor and bitterness to bring a smile to leprechaun face’s everywhere; respect to Gene Hackman, his classical pianist wife Betsy Arakawa, and one of three family dogs who perished in the desert, shrouded in a cloud of intrigue and mystery; the Apple ecosystem adds a new device for the dearly departed; fire and carbon monoxide detectors have a rigged shelf life that only one family member can address; another Chef Report features Eddie’s new paella rig; Rocky cracks the code on how to double his bowling score in a single day; a Paddy report laments a loan for the ages, and close with a shout-out to a Southwest Airlines pilot for doing the lord’s work. Catch up with us before Daylight Savings Time fucks up your internal clock.
Recorded on February 28th, 2025 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL.
