Beer Thursday

About Beer Thursday

Making you laugh, making you think, making you wish you could have more Beer Thursday! A comedy‑conversation show where lifelong friends Jay and Shayne wander boldly into movies, music, food, travel adventures, UFOs, science, and whatever else pops into their heads. It’s unpredictable, unfiltered (but sorta clean), and always hilarious. Come for the laughs, stay for the tangents, and leave wishing every day felt a little more like Thursday. Some call us the Bob Ross of podcasts. Others call us the P. T. Barnum of musicals. Just don't call us late for Beer Thursday!

   Tricks, Treats, and Tim's Birthday: A Halloween Haunting

   Grab your candy corn (or throw it in the trash like a monster) because Round 336 of Beer Thursday is a Halloween special! Tim, Shayne, and Jay get into the spooky spirit, debate whether Halloween deserves a paid day off, and somehow end up teasing a future round about a real-life séance. Yes, really. Halloween birthdays vs. Christmas birthdays: who has it worse? The great candy corn debate (spoiler: the room is divided) Trick-or-treaters bussed in from other neighborhoods Teenagers who are way too old to be trick-or-treating Tim's wife staging the greatest Halloween moment of all time A seance tease that is going to haunt you until next week **Round 336** ~~~~~~~ **Support the show on Patreon!** The Beer Thursday Patreon is where the real magic happens.

It helps more than you know and it costs less than a bag of candy corn. ~~~~~~~ Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: Halloween is here, and Round 336 of Beer Thursday is serving up chills, laughs, and some truly terrible candy opinions. Tim kicks things off in full Count character, and from there the crew debates whether Halloween should be a paid holiday (yes), whether candy corn is delicious (Shayne says yes, Tim and Jay say absolutely not), and whether teenagers trick-or-treating is the real Halloween horror story. Tim also shares what it is like having a birthday on Halloween, including an epic surprise party story involving a Horatio Sanz lookalike doing his best Gene Simmons impression and Tim's wife nearly starting a fight that turned out to be totally staged. Greatest night ever. The guys also get into how trick-or-treating has changed, kids being bussed into rich neighborhoods for better candy, Dr. Octopus-style candy grabbing, and Jay's tradition of turning off all the lights and hiding from trick-or-treaters entirely. And just when you think the round is wrapping up, Shayne and Jay drop a bombshell. They went to a seance together. Tim loses his mind. You will too. Tune in next week for the full story. **Today's Toast:** "Here's to trick-or-treaters, to all the trick-or-treaters out there, and to the people handing out the candy. If you're handing out Tootsie Rolls and Smarties, you suck. Cheers." Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it? Artie-ficial Intelligence!

   Still Drunk at Church: A Beer Thursday Confession [Stories of Our Worst Hangovers]

   You ever wake up and think, “Wow… I survived that?” Because today, Beer Heart, we’re diving into the kind of hangovers that make you question your life choices, your hydration levels, and maybe even your religion. If you’ve ever whispered “never again” while clutching a Gatorade, this round is for you. Round 335 ~~~~~~~ Join the Beer Thursday Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/beerthursday) and support the show! The next 18 Patrons who join at the $10 Level get exclusive access to the Beer Thursday Facebook group — where the hangovers are fake, but the friendship is real. Plus, you help us keep making the rounds you love. ~~~~~~~ If you want to see drinks that didn’t cause these hangovers, follow Jay’s beertography magic on Instagram at @BeerThursdayShow (https://www.instagram.com/beerthursdayshow/). Cold drinks, warm cigars, and zero judgment. ~~~~~~~ Make sure you follow the show and tap that glorious fifth star. It helps other thirsty humans find us and keeps the rounds flowing every Thursday. ~~~~~~~ Here’s what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: This round is a wild ride through the worst hangovers Jay and Shayne have ever survived. We’re talking whiskey from Spain, “still drunk at church,” cold‑sweat margarita emergencies, and the legendary Vegas flight where Jay ended up in the jump seat with the flight attendants. Shayne shares the time he woke up barefoot in the snow outside a random mountain trailer, and the time he chugged rum from a sippy cup — yes, really — before sleeping until 4:30 PM. If you’ve ever had a hangover so bad you questioned your life choices, your career, or your ability to stand upright, this round will make you feel seen. And maybe a little better about your own decisions. ~~~~~~~ Disclosure: I don’t really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it? Artie‑ficial Intelligence!

   Set Phasers to Controversial: Ranking Kirk, Picard, and Everyone Else

   Space: the final frontier. And apparently, the perfect place to crack open a Miller Lite and settle some extremely important debates. In this spacey round 334, Shayne and Jay boldly go where no podcast has gone before, ranking the Star Trek captains from worst to first. It gets nerdy. It gets funny. It gets weirdly sentimental about Chris Pine. **In this round:** Who was the worst captain in Starfleet history (hint: he ends up in a box) Why Christopher Pike shows up on the list multiple times (and why that's actually awesome) The case for more female captains in Starfleet Why William Shatner is number one and always will be A toast to honesty, fair dealing, and faking both **Round 334. [A redux of Round 49!]** ~~~~~~~ **Join the Beer Thursday Crew on Patreon!** Want to hang out with fellow beer lovers between rounds? The next 17 Patrons who join at the $10 level get access to the exclusive Beer Thursday Facebook group. Come for the beer talk, stay for the chaos. 👉 https://www.patreon.com/beerthursday ~~~~~~~ **Follow Jay's Beertography on Instagram!** Jay points his camera at beers, cigars, and whatever looks cool in the glass. It's called Beertography, and it slaps. Follow us at @BeerThursdayShow for the visual side of the round. 👉 https://www.instagram.com/beerthursdayshow/ ~~~~~~~ **Subscribe, Rate, and Review!** If this round made you laugh, think, or Google "Kelvin timeline," do us a solid. Subscribe so you never miss a round, and leave us a 5-star review. It helps more than you know, and we appreciate every single one. ~~~~~~~ Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round: **Star Trek Captains Ranked: Kirk, Picard, Pike, and the Rest of the Bridge** Shayne and Jay crack open cold ones and tackle a question that has divided Trekkies for decades: who is the greatest Star Trek captain of all time? Jay brings a full ranked list. Shayne brings knowledge of exactly three captains. Together, they somehow make it work. **The Bottom of the List** Jeffrey Hunter's Christopher Pike lands dead last. He barely got a chance, and when we see him again, he's basically a talking box with a head. Not exactly captain material. Hikaru Sulu makes the list too, a loyal helmsman who earned his ship but couldn't quite carry the flag. **The Middle of the Pack** Benjamin Sisko, George Kirk (dad of the year for 15 heroic minutes), Spock, William T. Riker, Jonathan Archer, and Captain Janeway all clock in across the middle rankings. Shayne and Jay also make a very valid point: Starfleet needs more female captains. The future apparently still has some work to do. **The Top Five** Christopher Pike as played by Anson Mount (Strange New Worlds) checks in at number five. Bruce Greenwood's Kelvin timeline Pike lands at four. Jean-Luc Picard, calm, brilliant, and bald, comes in at three. Then it's all Kirk from there. Chris Pine's Kirk is charming, fun, and gets better with every movie. But William Shatner's Kirk is number one, and honestly, was there ever any doubt? The round also somehow becomes a Chris Pine appreciation segment, which nobody planned and everybody enjoyed. **Today's Toast:** *"Here's to honesty and fair dealing, the secret of life. If you can fake that, you've got it made."* Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it? Artie‑ficial Intelligence!
