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 0131 - Dough Angel
The Bums are back in the rail yard with S5:E0131 (sans technical difficulties) where the top honors a fallen bum, Boston Dough, who passed away unexpectedly; the Bums recount various tech blunders with E0130 before jumping into sporting news; the Chicago Bears extend stoic GM Ryan Poles (co-term with new coaching regimen); good guy Jonathan Toews heads home for his moose-song; talk turns to MLB and the upcoming All Star break, including the debut of bot umps; Cubs phenom PCA (super dreamy) sparkles during 1H —in rare air; Paddy spits some MLB trivia including a focus on Craig Biggio; Paddy and daughter catch a rap concert at Comiskey (the warm up act was some mediocre baseball); the Bums offer respect to Dave Parker, Bobby Jenks, Lee Elia — along with actor Michael Madsen; Angel Reese is on everyone’s last nerve; and close with the Dodgers vilification.
The bottom chunk rips off with another universally famous beer review — mitten style — with another solid creation from Seedz Brewery in Union Pier, MI, “Hoppers Hell” (ABV 5.0%), a very good Helles Lager with balanced hops up front and a nice malt back end (slight citrus pronounced with several Seedz creations); another Chow Report featuring Rose Mary in Chicago’s Fulton Market hood; Paddy does some micro-landscaping; the Bums take-on southwest Michigan over the 4th of July holiday; a visit to the Bloomery was equal parts overwhelming and heaven; and close with a shout out to Netflix and their well done Led Zeppelin documentary. Get some while it’s hot!
Recorded on July 12th, 2025 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle’s Nest’ in Chicago, IL USA
