It was Mardi Gras… and apparently some of you are decorating your entire house for it. Beads on the fence. Fleur-de-lis in the window. We respect the commitment. We also learned King Cake babies weren’t some ancient mystical tradition. They were basically a bakery accident that stuck. Now you find the baby, you buy the next cake. That’s how legends are born.

Then we spiraled into “food porn” culture and how influencers are driving restaurants insane. Ring lights. Sound systems. Rearranging plates for the perfect viral shot.

Meanwhile, one guy in Australia tried to scam a steakhouse by pulling out his own armpit hair and planting it on a finished tomahawk bone. And the restaurant comped the meal just to make him leave. Unreal.

And finally… curling drama. Canadians dropping F-bombs at Swedes over an alleged finger tap on the stone. Accusations flying. Tape review threats. Somehow the “easiest sport” turned into the pettiest war on ice.

Beads. Burgers. Brooms.

No Stitch. No Leslie. Just Houston and a federal holiday.

For President’s Day, we flipped The Second Shift into The Executive Shift, and Houston went full solo mode. First up… the truth bomb. It’s technically still Washington’s Birthday. Congress never renamed it. Even better? The holiday can never actually land on February 22nd. We mathematically celebrate his birthday without ever hitting his birthday. That feels very on-brand for government.

Then there was George Washington winning every single electoral vote. Twice. No campaigning. No attack ads. Just reluctant leadership and vibes. Imagine that today.

And we wrapped with the ultimate presidential mic drop. Washington stepping away after two terms when he absolutely didn’t have to. No term limits yet. He just said, “That’s what kings do,” and walked. That one decision shaped executive power for centuries.

History. Power. A one-man show.

Friday the 13th rolled in right before Valentine’s Day… and somehow we made it romantic.

We dug into the very not-sweet origin story of Valentine’s Day, which includes secret weddings, an angry emperor, and a literal beheading. So next time you sign a card “from your Valentine,” just know… it has a backstory.

Then things got strange in the best way. A mystery dog that keeps saving lost kids and then disappearing like some kind of four-legged Batman? We’re obsessed. Nobody knows where it lives. Nobody can catch it. It just shows up, saves the day, and vanishes.

And finally, we talked about a bottle of Weller Millennium that could cost you ten grand… and how someone at Mountain West Whiskey Festival is going to sip it for twenty bucks if their raffle ticket hits.

History. Hero dogs. High-end whiskey.

We tried to understand the Winter Olympics and somehow ended up deep in ice dancing controversy. From banned backflips to TikTok debates about a French skating couple’s off-ice drama, it turns out the chaos isn’t only happening on the ice.

Then there was the El Paso “foreign threat” that shut down air traffic near Fort Bliss… which turned out to be a party balloon. Yes. A balloon triggered counter-drone measures.

Two stories. Maximum chaos.

Cupid hit the streets for Curbside Cupid… with five winners, broken wings, and at least one very public wardrobe change in the lobby. It was love in action across Rapid City, even if the halo was slightly crooked.

Meanwhile, a Norwegian Olympic medalist tried to win back his ex during a bronze medal interview. She responded. It did not go how he hoped.

Plus, DoorDash revealed the most romantic and most “intimate” states in America, and South Dakota didn’t exactly top the charts.

It’s Red Tuesday… statistically the day you’re most likely to get dumped. So naturally, the crew decides to relive their most awkward breakups. From getting dumped over Facebook Messenger to a phone call made from another guy’s bed, nothing was off limits.

Then things get even weirder. An Olympic medalist confesses to cheating during his post-race interview, scurvy makes a comeback thanks to modern diet trends, and the Running of the Gingers is officially on for Lepre-Con.

Love is fragile. Pirates are back. And Valentine’s Day is four days away.

Shift definitely happened.

National Pizza Day kicked things off with a shoutout to a Rapid City favorite, then the crew dove straight into the Super Bowl chaos… from streakers that nobody saw on TV to a halftime wedding that was actually real. Yes, real.

They break down the defensive showdown, roast the commercials that leaned way too hard into AI, and debate whether the Bad Bunny halftime show was a cultural moment or a controversy waiting to happen. Plus, a $250,000 coin toss bet, 1.5 billion chicken wings, and why Minnesota somehow always ends up in the Super Bowl conversation.

Oh, and if you want to get married in the back of a monster truck… that’s on the table too.

Welcome to your afternoon recap. Shift definitely happened.
