Shift Happened episodes

  • Spirits in the Sky
    Mark your calendars, today’s Shift Happened is packed with everything from urinal candy mishaps to New Zealand life goals! Houston shares his horrifying snack faux pas (hint: keep your Reese’s Pieces away from the plumbing), and Stitch opens up about the freedom of not caring...at all. We also tackle subscription scams, haunted hospitals, a bear rescue gone wrong, and yes, someone actually used pee for renewable energy. It’s weird, it’s wild, it’s Wednesday.

  • The Legend of Jakob Kjerstad
    It finally happened, Jakob Kjerstad broke his radio silence! On today’s episode of Shift Happened, we wrangle the podcast producer out of the editing bay and into the hot seat, uncovering his reality TV past, his famous family ties to a Rapid City landmark, and his controversial cereal opinions. Plus, Leslie weighs in on the “no makeup first date” trend and we attempt to rename AI to something less terrifying, like Pattern Engine. Also, guess how long it should take to pee? Don’t worry, we timed it so you don’t have to.

  • AI Is Just Autocomplete, Bro
    On today’s Shift Happened, Mark Houston flies solo and gets personal, starting with a weekend bonding moment gone messy while trying (and failing) to use a paint sprayer on his dad’s shed. Then it’s onto a surprisingly honest dating trend: women ditching makeup on the first date to weed out the phonies. And if you’re worried about AI taking over the world, Mark has news for you, turns out it’s just fancy autocomplete. It’s all real talk, real stories, and really no Leslie, Stitch, or Dean.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
