Eddie, Paddy and Rocky are the Bums of Manarchy (B.O.M.). Three knuckleheads from Chicago, talking shit.

In the inaugural episode, the Bums talk football, betting, hating on Jim Harbaugh, Matt Patricia, Lions, Daniel Synder, Bears, Matt Nagy, and we name our podcast!

Recorded the day after Thanksgiving 2020.


For fun. For adults.

The Bums start off confused AF, as we try to figure out whether we are on Episode 1 or Episode 2. Also, baseball chatter, Len Kasper's departure, Cubs organization, Old Irving Brewing beer, LSU self-imposed penalty, NCAA issues, "What's on your Betslip", Rocky's microwave handle, new series Showtime (Your Honor), and another "Dumb Ass Kids" story.

Recorded December 12, 2020.

Episode 0003, which is all about Paddy’s opinion on the topic of cars and car repair, Chicago Blackhawks talk, another chapter of "What’s on your Betslip", NFL kickers, Rocky's fourth grade art (our new logo) and other shit.

Recorded the week before Christmas 2020.

Stay tuned for new logo, which is based on our v1.0 edition logo.

In this week’s episode, the Bums explore the magic of post Holiday Blues, the decline of professional Boxing, Duke women’s basketball deferment, and another version of "What’s on your Betslip", among other ramblings.

Recorded the day after Christmas 2020.

In Episode 0005 (our first 2021 podcast), the Bums review the dumpster fire that was 2020. Key topics include notable deaths, COVID-19 "second order effects", BOM fan of the year, and FanDuel bet of the year -- among other ramblings.

Recorded January 9, 2021.

In this week's "scattered" episode, the Bums discuss NFL Wildcard weekend, Bum-of-the-Week and Bum-of-the-Year honors, a response to our very first listener nominated topic ("Why hasn't soccer taken off in the USA?"), and the aftermath of the Chicago Bears early playoff exit and upcoming NFL Divisional round, among other shit talking.

P.S. Look for more non-sports related topics (and better continuity) in Episode 7, etc.. The Bums are nothing but malleable and self-aware.

Recorded 1/9/2021 and 1/15/202.

In Episode 0007, the Bums discuss the emerging trend of leveraging high-end wall tents to cope with the pandemic, golfer Justin Thomas’ sticky situation, dirt bag of the month Jared Porter, respecting Hank Aaron, the NFL Conference playoff picture, lack of diversity in NFL head coaching, the Golden Age of QBs, Bum of the Week honors, as well as an upcoming fan request that’s going to make the Bums super uncomfortable. All that and more.

Recorded 1/22/2021.

Join the Bums for Episode 0008, which is a tale of two cities. Part 1 is a sports extravaganza, discussing the 1-year anniversary of Kobe Bean Bryant’s passing, NFL Conference Championship weekend recap, the raging Houston Texans dumpster fire, and the politicization of MLB’s Hall of Fame selection process. Part 2 is a mix of non-sports themes, including a new segment (Stone in My Shoe - SIMS), Bum of the Week honors, a Camp Lucy update, and an audio book report on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Episode 1 (yes, you read that right - we honor ALL fan requests).
