Beer Thursday

Jay Ray, Shayne Seymour

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!
