Shift Happened

Stitch and Zacky Moon run the show today, kicking things off with a real local business called Turd Tossers, the professional poop pickup crew that solves everyone’s backyard problem. They move into hair banking, a new experimental treatment that freezes your follicles now so science can clone them back onto your scalp later. Somewhere in between, a debate breaks out over who actually drives the s...

Zach and Mitchell sign up for a real contest that gets you cremated and stored inside a Pringles can for eternity, flavor debates included. From there they run through a list of horror movies built for people who hate being scared, and close out chasing a ghost that supposedly haunts a radio station buried somewhere under Rapid City. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stitch and Zaccy Moon rank the internet’s list of boomer Halloween candy and immediately start arguing over whether Laffy Taffy and Starburst even belong on it. They dig into a batch of doctor-submitted stories about the dumbest things patients have ever done, including a guy who pulled a knife out of his own chest and then put it back in after a 911 operator told him not to. They wrap up debating...

Houston marks Native American Day with the real story behind the state’s name, which traces back to a word that means friend or ally. He digs into Billy Mills, the Pine Ridge runner who shocked the world at the 1964 Olympics, and the Lakota code talkers whose language helped win World War Two while staying classified for decades. He also explains why the Lakota have let a billion dollar settlement...

Houston goes digging through Amazon’s new About You feature and finds strangers’ profiles calling out things like flat buttocks and zero friends, then can’t resist checking what the algorithm has decided about him. A sleep study on dogs and their owners settles the debate over who keeps who up at night, and the numbers don’t fall where most pet owners would guess. Houston also breaks down a TV own...

Houston puts Stitch through a pop quiz on words nobody actually knows, from the chalaza in an egg to the glabella between your eyebrows, and Stitch hates every second of it. Houston points everybody toward tonight’s Draconid meteor shower, best viewed after the free Main Street Square anniversary party downtown. The two also swap confessions about the albums that soundtracked their first makeout s...

Stitch is nursing a head cold while Houston runs off with Rob to buy whiskey, which spirals into news that engineers in Scotland and Japan are about to launch a barrel of the stuff into space. Houston kicks off a crusade against daylight saving time, with fireworks and paychecks on the line. Somewhere in the mix, the two dig through decades of Halloween costume history and land on the year every t...

Houston and Stitch kick off the show with a sneezy standoff, trading blame over who gave who a cold, which somehow spirals into a deep dive on a mysterious plague death in Siberia and a years-long inside joke about Serbian versus Siberian tigers. From there they tackle National Taco Day with some wild stats on the 1.7 million Americans who have never eaten a taco, and Houston breaks down his mom&#...

Mark heads into the old Lee-Deadwood Hospital morgue for a spooky Doc Talk shoot and the camera starts moving on its own like something down there wants in the shot. LimeWire pops back up online and the guys relive the golden age of pirated MP3s and viruses nobody saw coming. Stitch drops a jaw dropping mug holding world record ahead of tomorrow's Bierborse, and the debate over whether it'...

Stitch wants a whole birthday month and Houston is having none of it, though he does cave enough to help plan Stitch Fest, a chili feed this Saturday raising money for the Friday band show meals that keep people fed all winter. A New Jersey man catches a shark cruising down his flooded street during a nor'easter, and Houston becomes very convinced sharks are coming for him specifically. Then F...

Anger isn't fixed by yelling, and Houston's got the science to prove venting makes it worse, not better. Then Rapid City tap water gets a shiny national nod while Stitch still can't bring himself to drink it from the faucet. And somebody stole a lacrosse team's trailer, which kicks off a solid five minutes of amateur crime theorizing. Grab your ham and cheese Hot Pocket and settle...

Stitch and Houston get schooled on Gen Alpha slang, from scuba to quiet on the creek. A viral post about the bathroom being the ultimate escape hatch from your spouse sparks a real debate about whether men are weaponizing it. And Houston finally lets loose everything he's been holding in about Kyler Murray and the Vikings quarterback situation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more i...

Houston installs a fancy new toilet, and the very next morning, a ladder and a crawl space team up to take him down completely. A guy near Houston, Texas crashes his car straight into a Kroger because he had to pee and the store was closed. And there's a wild investigation into DraftKings using AI to spot people who are losing money and hitting them with more offers to keep them playing. Hoste...

Stitch and Houston dig into a leaked list of things Hollywood insiders supposedly know to be true, and it gets messy fast, from steroid use to secrets nobody wants printed. Rockstar Games wants four hundred bucks for a Grand Theft Auto six collector's box that doesn't even include the game. And Houston shares his weekend plans, which somehow involve installing a toilet and feeling genuinel...

Stitch is out today, so Houston flies solo and dives into the bomb threat hoax that shut down Monument Health this morning, tracing it back through a wild history of copycat callers and one guy who tried it with actual dynamite at a Lake Tahoe casino. He also celebrates Rapid City's own Adam Vinatieri setting a Guinness World Record with a field goal kicked eleven thousand feet up in the Swiss...

Houston is back from Canada and he brought stories for days. Stitch grills him on his sudden Tim Hortons obsession, a croissant breakfast sandwich apparently worth crossing a border for, and the wild tale of scoring two hundred and fifty dollar AC DC tickets in Winnipeg while a stranger swore he sounded like he was from Texas. The guys also map out where you absolutely do not want to be when the z...

Houston and Stitch watch a car erupt into flames right outside the studio window, then get into whether a real sixteen hundred dollar pumpkin spice casket is worth the hype. A new ranking also drops on which states spend the most on OnlyFans, and the neighbors are shockingly thirsty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stitch stumbles onto a newspaper writeup about Houston that turns into a full roast session about ego and headlines. Then a candy corn perfume shows up in the studio and we spend way too long arguing about what "notes of spun sugar" are supposed to smell like. Plus, there's a mystery brewing ahead of the Creepy Crawl on October 30th that nobody, including the people running it, can explain. Hosted...

We run the actual numbers on what it would cost to replace one of us with a robot, and the math is closer than anyone wants to admit. A Reddit thread has us testing each other on common knowledge like what a baby horse is called and whether penguins count as fish, with results nobody comes out of looking smart. NFL week one already has the studio arguing about injuries and hot takes before the sea...

Today's guest walks in as a bass player and leaves as certified local royalty, and we don't figure out why until the very end. Stitch spends a good chunk of the show trying to convince everyone alligators are basically swamp puppies right after a Florida gator story that says otherwise. And we run through the growing list of things that used to come free, phone chargers, concert fees, Disney fast...

Houston's back behind the mic and he wastes no time picking a fight with Stitch over exactly how much backwash makes a shared water bottle unforgivable. Three hikers let an AI app plan their route up Mount Shasta and ended up spending a night on that mountain they never planned for. Plus, police departments across the country are raising concerns about a pair of smart glasses that could be recordi...

Grab your headphones because this one gets weird fast. The crew catches you up on a Taiwan husband who caught his wife cheating through their robot vacuum's camera, and the lawsuit drama that followed left everybody paying up, including a five month stint behind bars. Then the guys dig into "pheromone maxing," a new dating trend built around skipping the shower and the deodorant before a date, all...

Stitch spends the show chasing a Guinness World Record with nothing but a sticky note and a pen, trying to cram as many three and four letter words onto one line as humanly possible. We also dig into some National Radio Day stats, including an old survey that ranked radio personalities among the sexiest jobs around. And we get into which roads around Rapid City make it almost impossible to actuall...

Today we get into why Jason Kelce wants everyone's pee to help cool AI data centers, and how beer ended up part of the plan. A tourist tried sneaking two hundred lizards through airport security by hiding them in his socks, and we break down his entire business plan. We also swap phobias and land on the story of a fisherman who spent fifteen days trapped in an underwater cave. Press play for today...

Tuesday's Second Shift kicks off fair week by demanding someone explain why the Central States Fair isn't actually a state fair. From there we fall straight down a nutmeg rabbit hole, trying to figure out if there's any real pumpkin in a pumpkin spice latte. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we hatch a full scheme to get Loren a boyfriend, complete with a burning building, a firefighter's a...
