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

This week on Beer Thursday, Shayne and Jay hop straight into the most “controversial” Super Bowl halftime show since… well, since the last time people got mad about something they didn’t understand.

That’s right — we’re talking Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar who brought dancing bushes, Mickey Mouse gloves, and a whole lot of Spanish to America’s favorite football‑and‑pharmaceutical‑commercial event.

• Was the outrage real?
• Was it fake?
• Was it just people yelling at clouds again?
• Was it all worth it in the end?

Your fearless purveyors of truth, justice, and the American way break down the performance, the politics, the poking‑the‑bear moments, and why Kid Rock is the last person who should headline anything involving the word “family.”

Along the way, they cover:

• Why Bad Bunny's climbing a telephone pole actually meant something
• Why Prince still holds the halftime crown forever
• And why Shayne keeps calling him Big Bunny (senior moment? Guinness moment? both?)

Plus: a toast to all bunnies — Bugs, Big, Bad, and Easter.

Grab a cold one and hop in.

00:00 – The Bunny Begins Shayne and Jay dive into the Bad Bunny halftime controversy and why people were mad before the show even started.

01:00 – Fake Outrage & Real Opinions The guys unpack the political noise, the “he’s not American” nonsense, and the art of being mad online.

03:00 – The NFL Wants the World: Why the league wants global fans — and why Bad Bunny was the obvious choice.

05:00 – Bunny Lore & Fun Facts Shayne shares Bad Bunny trivia: SoundCloud beginnings, church choir days, and F1 shoutouts.

10:00 – The Halftime Show Review From Mickey Mouse gloves to dancing bushes, the guys break down the performance.

13:00 – Symbolism & Power Lines: Why Bad Bunny's climbing a telephone pole was more than a stunt.

15:00 – Surprise Guests & Real Weddings Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and a couple who actually got married on the field.

17:00 – America, the Americas, and the Argument A surprisingly thoughtful moment about identity, geography, and why everyone argues too much.

19:00 – Kid Rock and The Other Show Jay’s story about the worst opening act ever and why the “alternative halftime show” was… something.

21:00 – Lyrics, Lines & Limits The guys talk about the “offensive” lyrics and why the outrage feels selective.

22:00 – Final Thoughts & Final Sips: A toast to bunnies everywhere and a reminder to join the Beer Thursday Patreon.
