Bums of Manarchy
01/18/24 • 78 min
The Bums roll into the first half of Season 4, Episode 101 with talk of the Junior Varsity (college) football National Championship — to the victors go the spoils; senior golf tour prospect Nick Saban retires from JV football; Kalen DeBoer is next in line; Halas Hall cleans house with several well-earned dimissals, and will the fucking Bears please build a stadium, for all that is holy;; the Bums NFL Playoff Challenge (yes, Playoffs) returns; Black Monday by the numbers, with surprises and trivia; fuck the NFL and it’s stupid Commissioner —and their PPV debut; Cubs get some Busch and new pitcher who hails from the Land of the Rising Sun; the Blackhawks get a new goon; Genny Tacos sees ‘a Connor’ at her first NHL game; and close with a segment on Tiger “Shoeless” Woods, who is no longer affiliated with the Greek Goddess of Victory shoe company, w/ a bonus IDNKT.
The second half delivers yet another infamous beer review with Chicago’s Maplewood Brewing and their Juicy Pants (7% ABV), a New England, hazy IPA with terrific flavor—juicy as reported but without a sugary taste—high-marks; respect to actor Lacey Underall and soccer’s own Franz Beckenbauer; Rocky is done with ESPN, ushering in The Athletic era; the Bums get a read on Pat McAfee (p.s. Karen Rodgers can go screw herself); Johns Hopkins releases a “privileged” hit list (yes, really); and close with a Paddy Don’t Do That — in a Word Wars bout. All of this value—without having to navigate any click-throughs or pay anyone $5.99 per month. Get some while it’s fresh, and while it’s still free.

Bust out the fancy beer and liquor, as the Bums ring in the New Year with Episode 100 (and the crowd rejoiced)!! On the front nine, the Paddy Files have turned up missing, along with our NFL picks; the Bums wrap up NFL chatter heading dead into the final week of regular season play; the Bears year-in-review and prognostications are flowing like wine; draft preview chatter; Denver’s brass tells ‘Mr. Unlimited’ to stuff it in his a**, as Payton is playing King Dick; David Tepper’s infamy reigns on, as he learned nothing in Pittsburgh with the Rooneys; other notable NFL bits-and-bobs; a College Football National Championship preview, featuring M and Dub; ladies trying to get beads in the French Quarter; Dodgers are spending like cross-faded, drunken sailors (atrocious post-season track record notwithstanding); Draymond is acting “a thug”; and close with NBA Game Ball Gate, featuring the bitch ass skipper of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle.
The thing about intergalatically famous beer reviews, is they never get old; as was the case with the Bums first beer review for 2024; Old Irving Brewing in Chicago, IL get the nod to help celebrate the New Year and the Bums of Monarchy’s 100th Episode — showcasing a Barrel-Aged Champurrado Krampus (2022), an Imperial, Double Milk stout with a whopping 14% ABV — oh mama, get your Mexican chocolate on; Karen Rodgers is inexplicably picking conspiracy theory bones with Jimmy Kimmel; perennial stand up comics, Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais are under the rainbow microscope once again; Paddy tells tales from Marco Island, FL; the Holiday season has put a strain on the Bums’ livers; RIP to half of Starskey & Hutch; Apple TV has a major hit with Slow Horses series, led by hilarious front-man, Jackson Lamb; and close with a 100th-episode salute.

The Bums kick off the rootftop with a Valhalla bond card dissertation (PGA player edition) with S4:E0110; Caitlin Clark is a role model, but can’t escape asshole criticism — simply for being white and straight (WTF); the White Sox and Orioles clash with a debatable and stinky “interference” call; the north siders are stringing together fewer hits than Right Said Fred; emergent NFL broadcaster is awarded an Emmy and a designation for assignment in the same period to make room for TB12; Austin Maddox has a firm grasp on Scum Bag of the Week/Month honors; Netflix reboots an ESPN 30-for-30 gem, “Broke” — a must watch for anyone entering the job market; and close the top with what feels like the end of college sports as we know it.

For Part 1 of Episode 0018, the Bums cover the lunacy that is the NCCA March Madness men’s basketball tourney, leading up to the final showdown between Gonzaga and Baylor, UNC’s new head coach (Hubert Davis) who is Mr. Salem-Winston, the Carolina Panthers crazy-like-a-fox acquisition of Sam Darnold for “a bag of beans” (and a few draft picks), the first week of MLB baseball including the Chicago Cubs hitting woes (the Bums have more hits than the Cubs starting line-up), the tragic murder/suicide of five souls in South Carolina at the hands of former-NFL corner back Phillip Adams, Rocky and Paddy knife fight over the Masters in the shadow of Georgia’s racism, and finally a quick check-in on Tiger Woods-Andretti.
The Bums dive into Part 2 with a story epitomizing the ‘thrill of victory and the agony of defeat’, as Rocky ran the gauntlet in a single day (COVID-19 vaccination and DMV license renewal) before crashing his e-bike on the way to drink beer, speaking of beer — the Bums review Chicago’s own Old Irving Brewing and their cornerstone Scentinel IPA, dining out in Chicago, the crucifixion of Scumbag-of-the-Week, Steve Waithe (track-and-field coach at Northeastern University) who scammed female athletes into sharing nude/semi-nude pictures, and the Bums close with a segment highlighting shocking and overt racism from cartoons of old (fan request from Boston Dough).
