Shift Happened

It's World Quantum Day, and Houston, Leslie, and Stitch spent the afternoon going full science nerd on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 the Mix. They broke down Schrödinger's cat using text message read receipts, explained quantum entanglement as that weird feeling you get when you just know something's wrong with someone you love, and somehow made it all make sense. Oh, and there's a guy trying to put vacci...

Houston, Leslie, and Stitch kicked off the week on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 the Mix with a Monday that somehow wandered from backyard landscaping and Doctor Pepper Creamy Coconut to Guinness World Records that probably shouldn't exist. Thirteen live rattlesnakes in one mouth. A blood alcohol level that's technically impossible. And a tortoise who was alive thirty years before the Civil War and is sti...

The Artemis 2 astronauts are splashing down tonight, and the crew is fully locked in, debating sharks in the Mediterranean, heat shields that are "loosey goosey," and whether NASA should maybe keep some things to themselves. Then it's grilled cheese drama as 75% of Americans reportedly can't make one with confidence, which somehow turns into a three-way group text contest between Leslie, Stitch, a...

Somehow Thursday's show ended up in the Squidward Extended Universe, and yes, Squid William is a real character with a smoking jacket and a Victorian haircut. The crew also got into everything people have quietly stopped buying this year because the prices are out of control, from steak to concert beer to gas station cappuccinos that somehow cost six bucks. Then, right at the end, someone looked o...

Rapid City's downtown Fourth of July parade is coming back for the first time since 1991, and the crew is already plotting their entrance, squirt guns and all. Then somehow the show ended up in deep space, because a jar of Nutella on the Artemis mission technically traveled farther than any human ever has, and the astronauts had to just watch it float past the finish line. Oh, and if you've ever s...

Artemis 2 is still out there circling the moon, and the crew somehow has better internet than most of us do at home. Houston, Leslie, and Stitch are fully invested in the mission, Christina Koch's arms, and what it must feel like to leave Earth for ten days and not deal with any of this. Also on today's show: CERN loaded antimatter into a truck and drove it down the road, which is either the most...

Stitch was out, so Houston and Leslie held it down solo, and honestly, things got weird fast. It started innocently enough with Easter candy drama, the unwritten rules of the office candy bowl, and the one coworker who audibly guilts herself every time she grabs a piece of chocolate. Then somehow the whole show spiraled into a deep dive on statues around the world that people rub for luck, includi...

It's Easter weekend and Stitch is at the dentist, which means Leslie and Houston are completely unsupervised with six flavors of Peeps and zero regrets. What started as a festive taste test turned into something closer to a crime scene, with decapitated marshmallow chicks, calorie math nobody asked to do, and a Cotton Candy Peep that smelled better than it tasted. Plus, Easter traditions from arou...

The Artemis 2 crew is out here making history and somehow still having Outlook problems in space. The guys react to the moon mission, break down the whole loop de loop translunar situation, and somehow end up debating whether billionaires should be allowed to turn on the sun at 2 a.m. using an app. Oh, and Hot Hunks is officially back, so gentlemen, it's time to stop talking and start signing up....

The Second Shift crew kicks off April Fool's Day by breaking down the actual unwritten rules of the holiday, like the controversial noon deadline for pranks that Stitch absolutely refuses to believe is real. Houston, Leslie, and Stitch dig into some of the greatest April Fool's pranks in history, from the BBC convincing an entire nation that Swiss farmers were harvesting spaghetti from trees, to T...

Leslie bought not one but two Etsy psychics to help navigate some big life decisions, and honestly the jury's still out on whether either of them was legit. Meanwhile, the crew debates the Artemis 2 moon mission and whether flying around the moon without landing is a very expensive road trip. Plus, survival tips get covered, including what to do if you get stabbed, stung by a jellyfish, or somehow...

It's a new week and somehow Stitch is still defending his Android. The crew debates green bubbles, hot chicken origin stories, and whether a twelve ton Kit Kat heist counts as living your best life. Oh, and there's a $170,000 robot named Moya who runs at body temperature and has a thousand yard stare. Perfectly normal Monday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Friday and the crew is ready to close out the week. Leslie, Stitch, and Houston debate whether cassette tapes deserve a comeback, go deep on adult cheat codes that actually work, and somehow end up arguing about whether mayonnaise is a legitimate musical instrument. It's the kind of Friday energy that makes you glad the weekend's here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...

Leslie, Stitch, and Houston went a little sideways today, and honestly, it was a great time. The crew got into "looks maxing," the wild new trend where guys are literally taking hammers to their own faces in the name of being more attractive. From there, things spiraled into a full conversation about phone addiction, how long any of us could actually survive without our screens, and somehow wrappe...

Wednesday's show had a little bit of everything. Opening Day kicked things off with a debate about whether $413 for a family of four to see the Dodgers is outrageous or just baseball in 2026. Then things got delightfully weird when a deep dive into Easter candy turned into a full-on history lesson about Peeps, complete with the fact that researchers at Emory University once tried to dissolve them...

Buckle up, because today's show is a whole mood. The crew kicks things off comparing health data on their smartwatches... except one person doesn't even own a watch, a ring, or apparently a microphone. From there it's a full debate about where you're supposed to store your butter in the fridge, and yes, people have apparently been doing it wrong their entire lives. Then someone in the building dec...

Spring is here, and so is everything weird that comes with it. Today on Shift Happened, the crew kicks things off with a neighborhood mystery that's equal parts annoying and philosophical... there's a rooster next door, it crows all day long, and nobody knows the rules. The conversation somehow ends with pressure cooker recipes. Then things get genuinely wild when a dog in England named Stanley di...

Leslie, Houston, and Stitch took the whole show outside for the first day of spring, soaking up vitamin D like, in their words, "TB patients being put out to sea to heal." They covered a guy in Australia who used ChatGPT and DNA sequencing to shrink his dog's tumor by 75%, which is the most wholesome AI story you'll hear all week. Then things got messy when they broke down why ABC pulled an entire...

You know those days where everything starts just a little off… keys missing, locked out, running on zero sleep… yeah, that kind of chaos sets the tone right out of the gate. It somehow turns into a full-on debate about whether throwing clothes on the floor counts as a system or just giving up entirely. Then it gets weird in the best way. A viral monkey love story has everyone questioning motives,...

Day after a holiday and nobody’s pretending to be productive. The crew debates whether we should all get a recovery day after celebrations… and somehow that turns into hiking in Scotland, pub arguments, and why vacations might not be relaxing at all. There’s also a surprisingly heated breakdown of Sloppy Joes… what they are, where they came from, and why calling it a barbecue sandwich might start...

St. Patrick’s Day… but not the version you think you know. On this episode of Shift Happened , The Second Shift crew digs past the green beer and leprechauns and finds the weird, surprising stuff hiding underneath it all. Like the fact that St. Patrick wasn’t Irish… at all. Or that Ireland used to shut down every bar on March 17th, which honestly feels illegal just saying it out loud. There’s also...

With half the crew missing after the weekend, we recap the Leprechaun pub crawl, including the code that might’ve been a little too easy and the turnout that made it all worth it. Then things drift into everything from creepy whale sounds and distracted brains to why shorter people might actually have the advantage in life. It takes another turn when we get into AI learning your chores, robot guar...

We dig into the real origin of Friday the 13th and the guy who accidentally made it famous while trying to prove it was nonsense. Then it turns into everything from flash tattoo chaos to Black Sabbath basically inventing heavy metal in a single day. Somewhere in the middle, sleep schedules get exposed, Pi Day sneaks in, and things spiral into robots learning how to do your laundry, which feels fin...

Stitch somehow ends up on morning TV in full leprechaun gear after waking up way too early, and it goes about as smoothly as you’d expect. Then a “doomsday fish” washes up and suddenly we’re all wondering why it only shows up when it’s already too late to help. From there, things spiral. Snake yoga becomes a real discussion, digital immortality starts feeling a little too real, and the show closes...

In this episode of The Second Shift , Stitch and Houston hold down the studio while Leslie is out sick, which quickly turns the show into a lively two-man debate. The conversation bounces from a study showing teens checking their phones dozens of times during school to a surprising trend where people using weight-loss drugs are buying more premium chocolate instead of junk snacks. But the real fir...
