This week on Beer:30 Live!, Shane is emotionally distressed about running the mixing board again, Mary openly disses the dead by slamming Pete’s equipment while he’s away, and Jamie serves his duty as the last man standing while the globe burns yelling a la Howard Beale, “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it any more… and no new taxes!” This week, Jan Dombrowsk, mathemetician and scientist joins the crew to talk about the research and the myths surrounding current global warming theory. Finally… someone on the show who knows something about anything.

Special thanks to McMenemin’s, John Barleycorn’s, in Tigard, Oregon for letting us take up a booth of the place, with beer and tater tots, by the window.

Ep 39: Jamie Burns for his Global Warming Insolence

This week on Beer:30 Live!, Shane is emotionally distressed about running the mixing board, Mary shamelessly spoils the series finale of “The Sopranos” for all us DVD-only viewers, and Jamie ruthlessly insults all international listeners, by country, all while enjoying the political partnership of both Ron Paul and Mit Romney. The Beer:30 Live! curse is well in force this week, knocking both the A-list guest out of the show with a death in the family, and the B-list guest out with a concussion. If you’ve been approached by the show to be a guest, think twice, all this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 38: When the Cat’s Away…

This week on Beer:30 Live!, gracing the table is very special guest Kari Chisholm, co-founder of BlueOregon.com, one of the most prominent progressive political blogs in the nation. Kari is a wildly well-informed political strategist specializing in building grassroots support online through his company, MandateMedia. He’s a guru of political process and shares his thoughts on the system with us. We’re missing two regulars again, so back in the chair goes our guest host Curt Siffert to sit in and review the week with Pete and Mary. All that and more, this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 37: It’s Good to be Blue

This week on Beer:30 Live!, two of the four of us regulars have to bow out, so we grab guest host Curt Siffert (http://www.curtsiffert.com) to sit in and an review the week. Pac-Man gets skin-stripped, Emperor Palpatine teaches the Dems a few tricks from space, and our own little Emperor declares himself a dictator, all this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 36: The Emperor

This week, a show about nothing. Our guest of the week had a last minute conflict so we were left to our own devices. But we still had plenty to talk about: Martian Climate, the Fart Car, the network TV lineup and more, all this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 35: “Homage”

Direct from Barleycorn’s in Tigard, Oregon, it’s Entrepreneur Day! Our guest isn’t even thirty and is already responsible for a handful of technical start-up companies. We talk to him about what it means to start a business, to take responsibility for others’ welfare, and to shepherd a product to market, all this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 34: Entrepreneur

Direct from Barleycorn’s in Tigard, Oregon, on this week’s show, we talk to one of our own: James has a new book! “Duty, Honor. & Glory: Leadership Secrets of the 300″ sets modern leadership to the tune of the film “300″, and takes on modern guffaws of corporate leaders as lessons that should have been learned long ago. Long, long… long ago. We’re celebrating one of our own this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 33: Jamie and the Angry Spartans

Direct from Barleycorn’s in Tigard, Oregon, on this week’s show, we sit down with Todd and Martina: Ghost Hunters. These paranormal investigators have searched the country to document the spectors around us, and today, they let us in on all the secrets. Number one: Crossing the Streams doesn’t matter all that much, as it turns out. All that this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 32: The Ghost Hunters

Direct from Barleycorn’s in Tigard, Oregon, on this week’s show, we spend some quality time with Hector Ariceaga, Mexican immagrant turned professional technologist and banker. We had these great intentions about getting Hector’s opinions on the state of the immigration debate, and then promptly sidetracked ourselves and got his opinions on a whole bunch of other things. Hector is a great and generous soul to put up with the likes of us, and he gave us a slew of new things to think about as well. All that this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 31: Immigration and stuff…

Direct from Barleycorn’s in Tigard, Oregon, on this week’s show, we hang out with our old friend Mike Mostafavi and talk about Iran. Again. Remember the good old days when all we had to talk about was the HauntaVirus and good music? We do, too. But this whole build up to another war has us exercising our inner Jane Fonda so we need to bounce this around a bit more. People: get involved. All that this week on Beer:30 Live!

Ep 30: Iran II
