Shift Happened

The rally heat is on, and we’re in the middle of it, hunting for the elusive and overpriced Le Bubu, dodging Dixon shirt temptations, and chatting with everyone from Canadian rockers to rally photographers. Plus, we discover who’s working the longest hours, which band makes us cry, and why free hugs might be the real currency of Sturgis.

The Loud Shift kicks off the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally with Dixon flannel fever, tenderloin-and-soft-serve cravings, and a friendly Main Street feud with the “Outhouse Losers.” Between dodging lane-splitting bikers and tracking down the perfect party shirt, the crew still finds time to rally for a good cause, helping a local family in need.

Day one of the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally roars in with a mission: find the elusive Rally La Bubu. Between plotting for unlimited ice cream, high-end tequila, and Dixon outfits, the crew takes a wild ride through rally history, from Pappy Hoel and the Jackpine Gypsies to ZZ Top at the Buffalo Chip. Plus, we dig into America’s most hated foods and debate which of them could survive the rally crowd.

The rally hasn’t even officially started, and Leslie already looks like she’s been through a Sturgis-sized tornado. This episode of Shift Happened revs into rally mode with stories of oddball errands, near-emergency-room disasters, and one very serious debate about mislabeled Celsius cans that might secretly be boozy High Noons. Plus, the team kicks off their Rally TikTok challenge and launches a wildly specific scavenger hunt for the elusive... Lebubu. Is it a toy? Is it real? Is it rally-appropriate? Who cares, it’s war.

This rally-week Second Shift dives into the weirdly relatable plot of Eternity, where you must choose between your spouses in the afterlife. We also explore the viral magic of The Hunting Wives and the chaotic rise of tarantula season across the Southwest. Sprinkle in some saucy pet names and it's a four-hour joyride of laughter, cringe, and existential discomfort.

On this rally-week Tuesday edition of Shift Happened, Stitch swears he won’t be crabby this year, despite history saying otherwise, and Leslie chats with Lexi from A Bridge Between Us about their Grain Bin beer fundraiser to support veterans. The gang also dives into America’s obsession with age limits, from driving and drinking to whether you’re old enough to survive war but not sip whiskey.

It’s Pop Tarts and Patrón to kick off the week, and somehow it only gets weirder from there. Stitch and Houston survive a tequila-fueled promo shoot, Leslie breaks down the skincare trend known as “morning shed,” and the team debates the worst tourist traps in the world (spoiler: Wall Drug made the list.) Plus, inside jokes, turtle smuggling, and a solid plan to make the Rally all about Houston. Fishnets included.

It’s a deodorant debate for the ages as Leslie, Stitch, and Houston kick off the Friday edition of Shift Happened with a surprisingly passionate discussion about hygiene at home. Things escalate quickly from body spray to body fraud when a legless doctor sparks a conversation about insurance scams and the limits of desperation. Then Leslie goes full scorched-earth on people who Venmo the government to “help” with the national debt, and no microphone is safe. Add in a wild prediction about the future water wars, suspiciously quiet rally prep, and you’ve got a packed pre-Sturgis Friday shift.

It’s a wild ride on The Second Shift as we wrestle with the passing of Hulk Hogan, mourn Mokie the world’s oldest horse, and toast Ozzy Osbourne's bizarre funeral wishes, complete with Justin Bieber and a second opinion video from the grave. Plus, we plot the Pop-Tarts & Patrón Rally Finale, try not to get eaten by a 1,600-pound shark named “The Contender,” and debate whether we’re friends, family, or just work frenemies. Bonus points if you hate the word “influencer” as much as we do.

What do falling dreams, chlorine-scented regret, and a potential alien probe have in common? They all made their way into this wildly unpredictable episode of The Second Shift. Zach Moon joins Stitch and Houston to talk about dream-recording machines, the proper way to remove pool poop (spoiler: there isn’t one), and whether your dog dreams about your midnight bathroom runs. Plus, the crew dives into the worst kind of AI panic, the truth behind smelly swimming pools, and why Nashville might be better than your favorite city. It's chaos, it's weird, and it's beautifully gross.
