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 0140 - Cup Half Full
The bums are back in the rail yard with S5:E0140, where part 1 flips straight into Chicago Bear talk and reports; Jake Moody plays footsie for the Commies; NFL Week in Review; Football’s minor league is beleaguered; James Franklin is PSU’s personal ATM; MLB HOF candidates recounted; sad ending for a die-hard Cleveland sports fan but Bernie Kosar gets a boost.
The second part is bolts into another universally relevant and praised beer review, with BuckleDown Brewing’s “Belt” (ABV 7.0%), a well balanced IPA that does Lyons, IL proud; the bums give thanks, two very good bio-docs are reviewed, “Being Eddie” and “American Badass”; Paddy delivers early morning criticism with “Wanted Man” (avoid like the plague); engagement ring in the cup story; a customer service overlord dictates associate moods; and Paddy has nothing but distain for assholes who ignore crosswalks with flashing lights. Better late than never. Get it now!
Recorded on November 20th, 2025 at B.O.M.’s global headquarters, Paddy’s Southside Cave, in Chicago, IL.
