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!

The bums return to the rail yard with S6:E0154, where the prologue gets right into Chicago Bears news — headlined by non-performant President Kevin Warren and his ridiculous mishandling of the Bears stadium “project”, Rome O’s injured foot is permanently a different shape, Frosty the Iceman takes a crack at breaking the Madden curse; the Rams snap up Miles and leave Cleveland empty handed (again); the NBA finals are in full swing (for the 8 fans interested); a hapless fan gets an on-court selfie w/ Wemby but pays the ultimate price; and Jalen Brunson has a dust-up with court-side fans; and oh yeah, the Stanley Cup finals are happening as Vegas draws even.
The epilogue makes it’s mark with a brilliant creation from Chicago’s very own Old Irving Brewing — “Billy Goat Pilsner” (ABV 5.5%) — one of two beers in the Billy Goat Tavern collaboration series, a Czech-style Pilsner brewed with Pilsner malt, hopped with Saaz for an amazing tasting pils for the books; Summer time has arrived as Rocky’s rat wars heat up; mega franchise Seinfeld leaves Netflix after 9 years (a show about nothing could cost everything); Eddie stumps Widows Bay, a TV series set in a cursed New England town (high marks); Rocky misses the Yellowstone franchise but is making due; and close as the Summer of Golf amps up with Rocky’s slice wars campaign. Get some while it’s fresh, even though the bums are not.
Recorded on June 4th, 2026 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA.
