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 are back in the rail yard with S6:E0156, tapping dancing our way through more sports drivel in the first half; Frosty the Iceman has spoken on the Bears new home; Kevin Warren needs to pack his bags; Lord Stanley of Preston trophy winner; Blackhawk star Connor Bedard on the couch for 4 months; in NBA news, Eddie is not happy with the Spurs coaching (period); other chatter turns to a very long Empire State draught; Kawhi (pronounced Kauai) Leonard is firmly in the Tree Charity enterprise and could possibly be in some trouble; Cubs legend Anthony Rizzo spills the beans on teammate Yu Darvish (and his bad habit in the pachinkos); MLB’s golden 'Day Game' era is discussed; hot wife haver Justin Verlander is hanging up his spikes; the Future of PGA golf is a changing, and not everyone is liking it; and close the top with talk of degenerate, shitbag, gambling addict Brendan Sorsby who heads the way of the Supplementals.
The flip side begins with another infamous beer review, on the Cincinnati line with Sonder Brewing’s “You Betcha!” (ABV 6.5%), a hoppy and hazy New England IPA, a uniquely crafted juicy that is softer on the palate than expected, somewhat less bitter but not too sweet (Rocky’s pet peeve: switching gears, Eddie has had it with TV series The Bear (the Bataan death march of shows mercifully wraps); Irish exit protocol among family and friends is debated (or at least explained by way of example); the rise of Summer time ‘mini-fests’ is discovered; a bums summer travelogue with copious amounts of the Union Pier Grotto is recounted; and close with a loopback to 4th of July movie classic, “Jaws”, complete with awesome, old school beer sightings. P.S. The Bums of Manarchy have just eclipsed 7,500 downloads — thank you to our listening audience (both of you).
“I’m going to play wherever there’s a field that measures 120 by 53⅓ yards, marked with white lines and two end zones.”,” —Frosty the Iceman (aka Caleb Williams), on the Chicago Bears stadium situation.
Recorded on July 9th, 2026 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL.
