Spring into '80s Music: Trivia Showdown & Classic Hits

Join Shayne and Jay on Beer Thursday as they dive into an unexpected '80s music trivia challenge!

With a springtime backdrop, the duo tests their knowledge of iconic '80s song lyrics from artists such as The Human League, Whitney Houston, Prince, and others.

With engaging discussions, fun banter, and surprising music facts—like the latest on Tears for Fears and hidden gems from Cyndi Lauper's early band days—this episode promises to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Perfect for Gen X-ers and '80s music aficionados alike.

Tune in for laughs, music, and a healthy dose of friendly competition!

Do you enjoy not saying words you're not supposed to? We do too! Unfortunately, we have to say these words so that we can tell you what words you can't say. Don't blame us! They've been canceled. It's out of our control.

Today's post is inspired by the article "30 phrases liberals won't let us say anymore," which said 15 when we started recording.

Round 305: Brought to you by cheap‑ass boots

Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round:

This round dives into canceled phrases and politically incorrect sayings that the internet says we shouldn’t use anymore. Shayne and Jay start with “hold down the fort,” which apparently has a “dark secret,” depending on which Civil War general you ask. Then they tackle “ladies and gentlemen,” which is now too limiting for a world with more than two genders and at least three million opinions.

Bootstraps come next, along with the shocking discovery that boots are expensive and cheap‑ass boots hurt your feet. A heartfelt toast follows, proving that words are powerful, emotional, and occasionally sharp as a box cutter.

Then comes “powwow,” which leads to a debate about cultural appropriation, tribal languages, tomahawks, and the Kansas City Chefs. “Tomboy” rolls in with skateboards, cutting boards, and grammar crimes. Finally, “exotic” gets canceled for sounding like a compliment but apparently not being one. Also, it rhymes with “erotic,” which sends the round straight into Beer Thursday territory.

It’s chaotic, goofy, and full of canceled‑phrase confusion — exactly what you expect from a round like this.

Here's what our house elf, Artie (not Archie), says about this round:

Welcome back to another freshly polished redux round of Beer Thursday—the mullet of podcasting. Business up front. Party in the back. Confusion everywhere.

In this round from the 2020 vault (now with better sound and the same amount of nonsense), Shayne and Jay swap TV shows they think the other really needs to watch.

It’s part recommendation list, part therapy session, and part “Wait, why are we talking about ghost hunters again?”

You’ll hear about Ozark, Yellowstone, Psych, Jessica Jones, Hunters, and shows that probably should’ve stayed canceled.

Plus, bourbon memories, Costner's chin, and the fun chaos of the podcast's lively, unpredictable style.

Grab a drink. Grab a show list. Grab your chin and tilt it dramatically like Costner. Let’s binge.
