July 07, 2025 Swivel Chairs & Keg Stands
It’s 1776, baby, and the crew of Revolutionary Radio is throwing it back founding-father style! In this special Shift Happened episode, Betsy Ross, Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson crash the airwaves with fireworks, eel pudding, and a whole lotta sass. Discover why July 2nd was actually Independence Day, how Jefferson invented the swivel chair to write the Declaration, and why Ben Franklin wanted a turkey on your T-shirt. Explosions, beer, and bald eagle beef, it’s the most historically inaccurate celebration of liberty you’ll hear all week. Cheers to the 4th, even if you’re still not allowed to sign anything.

July 07, 2025 Get Outta My Swamp (Crotch)
It’s 4th of July Eve on The Second Shift, and we’re lighting the fuse on pure chaos. The crew dreams up what you’d leave out for Joe Dirt Claus, swaps swamp crotch horror stories from TSA checkpoints, and debates whether their pets need fireworks anxiety meds or just better taste in music. Plus, Stitch tries to prove he’s the definition of “cool,” Leslie loses her mind over a $50 Boo Boo keychain, and we all collectively agree—don’t show up uninvited to anyone’s deck. Ever.

July 03, 2025 Milk Gave Me Nightmares
On this Fourth of July Eve edition of Shift Happened, the crew starts with fireworks and ends with swamp crotch, and yes, everything in between is just as unhinged. We debate if Christmas in July is criminal, rank who's actually cool based on six core traits, and uncover the true horror of TSA body scanners and soggy underwear. Also: rogue AI vending machines that develop tungsten obsessions, dairy-fueled nightmares, and one very emotionally fragile cat. Plus, we try to steal a coworker’s boat, fail miserably, and mourn a $50 Boo Boo on Facebook Marketplace.

July 02, 2025 Tuna with Udders
It’s Tuesday, and the gang’s coming in hot, literally, because it’s a 90-degree day with hotter takes. From a boatless holiday weekend crisis to the unexpected reanimation of a zombie satellite, this episode of Shift Happened cranks the absurdity to 11. We dive into the creepy rise of a possibly fake AI rock band, debate whether tuna are mammals, and learn why one Thai woman may never eat fish again, thanks to a rogue bone that popped out of her neck. Yes, really. Plus, discover the surprising date when all humans were last on Earth at the same time. It’s weird, it’s fun, and it’s definitely not Fast or Furious.

July 01, 2025 The Accidental Paddleboarder
Flamethrowers, failed fireworks plans, and accidental black hole theories—welcome to Monday on Shift Happened! This episode kicks off with one crew member’s ill-fated attempt at yard work using a $40 weed torch that murdered the lawn (and possibly their marriage). Then it's a deep dive into the aftermath of the Hot Hunks event, complete with one of the most expressive faces ever captured in a photo—and a new hero named Dutch Disaster. And finally, we cap it off by wondering aloud if we’re literally living inside a black hole, because... why not? It’s Monday.

June 28, 2025 Fridge Cigarettes
It’s a jam-packed Friday on Shift Happened, and the crew is running hot—literally. Between prepping for tonight’s Hot Hunks showdown and fielding last-minute curveballs from the CEO, tensions are high and eyebrows are singed (thanks to a certain backyard weed torch). The gang also dives into wild summer trends like “margarita burns” and the mysterious “fridge cigarette.” Plus, we preview the upcoming Trans Am Takeover in Sturgis, and learn why branding in Wyoming comes with donuts. Buckle up—this episode burns bright and weird from start to finish.

June 27, 2025 You’ll Never Be My Barbie Mom
This episode of Shift Happened is a beautiful disaster in the best way. Houston tries to lead a discussion on workplace conflicts after a real-life spat breaks out in the studio and it spirals gloriously from there. Leslie trauma-dumps through cupcakes and Barbie Dreamhouses, Stitch threatens to go viral the worst way possible, and somehow we end up debating flamethrowers, boat friends, and public defecation trends. By the end, someone might get torched, someone might get fired, and someone is definitely eating an onion like an apple.

June 26, 2025 Don’t Blame the Daffodils
It’s a Second Shift spectacular on Shift Happened, and we’re bringing the chaos with us! In this episode, Dean reveals he has vitiligo and the team immediately celebrates with camouflage jokes and glove offers. Then we dive into five scientifically-backed ways to outsmart stupidity, which of course leads to partner dancing with bears and spiritual trash can energy. We also discover the very real danger of keeping fresh flowers by your bed, learn how different cultures count time, and wrap it all up with the controversy of aging rock bands refusing to retire. Bonus: a brand-new intro track from Houston that totally slaps (he says).

June 25, 2025 The Best Place in the World to Have Herpes
On today’s episode of Shift Happened, the crew dives into the most hated day of the week, Tuesday, and explains why it deserves every ounce of shade. We get you ready for the Hot Hunks Finals with rules, warnings, and a stern reminder: don’t touch Leslie. Ever. Things take a bizarre turn with talk of zombie nightmares, old person smell, and why New Zealand is proudly becoming the “best place in the world to have herpes.” Plus, the Rapid City sports complex announcement gets us wondering if we’re finally getting an indoor softball league… and who actually wants that. Buckle up for the weird, the fun, and the very real danger of watching Love Island too closely.

June 24, 2025 More Naked Than Naked
Get ready to feel emotionally naked—maybe even literally—as this episode of Shift Happened kicks off with a quote that's got everyone questioning the power of footwear in the buff. Houston, Leslie, Stitch and Dean dive into the psychology of shoes and nudity, explore the calming magic of sage green, and debate whether evolution is turning us all into hive-minded screen zombies. Also: hot hunk finals are heating up, Houston’s got a new coffin-aged whiskey on the way, and FedEx’s Fred Smith gets the respect he deserves. It’s a packed episode full of strange truths, AI cheating scandals, inheritance debates, and one unmissable question—can you really feel more naked?
