June 21, 2025 Don't Sit in That Wet Swimsuit
Summer officially arrives with a heatwave, and things get sweaty on Shift Happened! The crew debates just how hot is too hot, and someone drops the phrase “MC Cool You Off”—which might be the next summer anthem. We cover everything from the thermostat wars to the wet-bathing-suit-to-UTI pipeline. Plus, a construction worker spills the tea on why the I-190 bridge is still a mess, and we prepare for a big weekend at Kickstands with Hot Hunks and the Renaissance Fair. Also: goat chaos, AI fears, and the most overrated tourist stop in South Dakota.

June 20, 2025 Freedom Delayed, Not Denied
It’s Juneteenth, and The Second Shift crew is in the studio to get a little smarter and a lot weirder. We kick things off with a heartfelt and hilarious deep dive into the real history of Juneteenth, why it took two and a half years for some enslaved people to hear they were free, and how this “new” holiday actually goes way, way back. Then, we veer headfirst into some bold territory: satellite-induced eclipses, revenge-fueled Netflix lockouts, and the very personal debate over whether peeing in the shower is healthy or horrifying.

And somewhere between ketchup conspiracies and South Dakota’s place on the dark personality traits leaderboard… we even squeeze in a little Hot Hunks promo.

June 19, 2025 Sip of the Prince of Darkness
Today on The Second Shift, we ask the important questions: Would you pay $450 for Ozzy Osbourne’s backwash? The team dives into Liquid Death’s “Infinite Ozzy” stunt and debates which celebrity’s DNA-laced soda can they’d actually buy. Plus, the resale madness of Labubu toys sparks Beanie Baby déjà vu, and we find out if trusting people really does make you happier—or just sets you up for emotional bankruptcy.

June 18, 2025 Bridge to Nowhere (Still)
On today’s Shift Happened, Stitch is four weeks into newborn life and hanging on by a thread—or maybe a Dixon shirt. With his in-laws visiting from Serbia and a baby that might be colicky, sleep is a myth and emotions are high. Meanwhile, Leslie tells the story of Amber's heartfelt attempt to sell gluten-free cookies and how it gets derailed when her neighbors misread the sign and help themselves to the whole batch. And just when things couldn’t feel more unhinged, Houston introduces the Yuka app—a barcode-scanning menace that ruins your favorite foods with cold, hard European facts.

June 17, 2025 The Winklepicker
Houston’s day went downhill fast thanks to a windshield-cracking rock flung by a speed demon truck, and that’s just the start. Meanwhile, Leslie weighs in on why hotel beds are weirdly magical and wonders if we should all be booking a night at the Hilton just to finally get some decent sleep. The travel talk continues with stories of lost luggage, the bizarre rise of “flying naked,” and why solo flyers are now getting charged extra just for not having a plus one.

June 16, 2025 Micro-Cheating and Mushroom Murder
This week on Shift Happened, we say goodbye to music legend Brian Wilson and spiral from Beach Boys nostalgia into a snow-filled quest for the weirdest world record we could possibly break. From Speedo snow burials to the magic of quilt shows, it’s a cozy and chaotic ride. We also debate whether flirting with AI counts as cheating (spoiler: robots can’t catch feelings... or can they?), and things take a dark turn with murder-by-mushroom. Plus, get your Ren Faire gear ready—Hot Hunks is going medieval.

June 16, 2025 Fill My Hole, Please
From potholes to plush toys, today’s episode of Shift Happened dives into two wildly different obsessions. First, the crew can’t stop laughing at a cheeky pothole repair campaign out of Pennsylvania called “Fill My Hole”—yes, it’s exactly as suggestive as it sounds. Then Leslie spirals into full-blown Labubu madness, trying to justify why she needs one of these creepy-cute little monsters that now sell for over $100,000. It’s unhinged, it’s hilarious, and it’s oddly informative.

June 12, 2025 It's Cold in the A.I.
Get ready to catch up with Shift Happened, your daily recap of all the wild, weird, and downright hilarious moments from The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix afternoon show.

From crazy tech to jaw-dropping news, Shift Happened is your go-to for all the afternoon’s best breaks. Tune in, laugh loud, and never miss a moment of the second shift’s fun!

Dive into the wild world of your favorite afternoon radio show on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix!

Tune in for laughs, real talk, and unexpected stories that make your afternoons way more interesting.

June 10, 2025 Dirty Little Boys
This episode bubbles over with nonsense—and possibly profit—as the crew dives into Sydney Sweeney’s viral soap stunt. Her limited-edition “Bathwater Bliss” body wash crashed the Doctor Squatch site, sold out in seconds, and is now popping up on eBay for hundreds of dollars a bar. We try to figure out who’s actually buying this stuff (and who should not be), and whether we can make our own version in a kiddie pool. Plus, the Hot Hunks event recap, a monopoly rule that shocked us, and one woman’s terrifyingly personalized Uber ride. Oh, and whales might be trying to talk to us now—so there’s that.
