Pints & Paradoxes: Unbelievable Historical Coincidences

In this hilarious round of Beer Thursday, Jay and Shayne dive into the first five of nine of eleven incredible historical coincidences—because two were just too ridiculous.

From Mark Twain's comet arrival and departure to Stephen Hawking's peculiar birth and death dates and the ironic fates of French kings who lost their heads to doorframes, this episode is packed with strange but true stories.

Tune in as the guys enjoy some cold brews and laugh through these quirky twists of fate. Don't miss their witty banter, toasts, and accidental Popeye impressions!
