Shift Happened

Thursday's show kicks off with a Marley update, Stitch's Chihuahua mix who got hit by a car earlier in the week and is somehow pulling through like a champ. From there, the crew gets into the story of a UK farmer who's planning to breed uglier cows because influencers keep showing up to hug his Highland cattle for content. And somehow the conversation ends up at a man in Russia who was clinically...

Wednesday's Second Shift kicked off Earth Day with a trash pickup along Rapid City's waterways, a swollen infected thumb courtesy of Stitch's dog Marley, and a somehow convincing argument that dandelions are actually flowers. Later, the crew gets into the UK's bold move to permanently ban tobacco sales for anyone born after 2009, and whether banning something ever actually works. Also, someone ord...

Stitch kicks off the show with the most terrifying morning of his life. His dog got hit by a car, survived somehow, and then bit him on the thumb during the chaos. So that was his Tuesday. From there, he and Leslie tackle the internet's latest claim that watching junk food videos will actually make you eat less of it, and somehow end the show debating whether a pet-friendly cruise sounds dreamy or...

It's 4/20 and the crew can't let it slide without a full breakdown of how marijuana went from ancient Chinese medicine to a government propaganda target to a global holiday invented by five bored high schoolers in California. Leslie's running on empty and can't stop thinking about food, which somehow leads into new research on the perfect French fry. And a guy with 63 Marvel tattoos just broke a w...

Houston, Leslie, and Stitch kick off the weekend by unpacking "phubbing," the weirdly gross-sounding term for ignoring people in favor of your phone, and somehow that leads to nail clipping confessions and hearing voices in the shower. Then pilots get called out for meowing at air traffic control, Iceland gets its first mosquitoes ever, and one in five Americans think they might be psychic. I Host...

Tax season chaos, chopstick physics, and a 91-year-old gaming legend. Thursday on The Second Shift, Houston, Leslie, and Stitch tackled Leslie's last-minute tax scare that almost cost her $1,500 in thrifting money, the federal court ruling that Ticketmaster is officially a monopoly, and a guy in China who spent eight years with metal chopsticks lodged in his throat. And somehow, they still had tim...

Tax Day hit different on The Second Shift. Houston, Leslie, and Stitch kicked things off hot with their own returns, refunds, and one very dramatic extension request. From ABBA's sequin jumpsuits being a legit tax write-off to a junkyard owner deducting his cats, the IRS facts got weird fast. Oh, and somewhere in the middle, a request for an AI-generated cartoon foot went completely sideways. Tune...

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...
