Shift Happened episodes

  • Smoke Show Sunsets

    This one's got a shaky stage, a questionable ear routine, and a lawsuit that might owe you tacos.


    We break down the Goo Goo Dolls show at the Monument, including a moment on stage that had us convinced someone was about to get fired. We also settle the debate on whether digging around in your ears with a Q-tip is doing more harm than good, and Taco Bell customers might have an actual case worth real money.


    Oh, and the rally's officially here. Brace yourselves.

  • The Colonel's Secret
    Colonel Sanders' old leather planner just sold at auction for thirty grand, and it might be hiding the most famous secret recipe on the planet. DoorDash is rolling out its own delivery drones, and somebody on our show has already called dibs on flying one. And airports are about to let people string up hammocks in the terminal, because regular chairs apparently weren't uncomfortable enough. This one's a good one for your drive home.

  • The Armadillo Warning
    We dig into the disease making a comeback in Florida, and it's not one you'd expect. Turns out there's an everyday critter you should never touch, and koalas aren't as cuddly as they look either. Loren also gets an update on that speeding ticket saga, and there's a new update on why your license plate might be getting photographed around town. Grab your headphones and settle in.

  • Loren's Boy Trouble
    Loren's ex resurfaces with a phone call and zero self awareness, and the poo emoji in her contacts tells you everything you need to know before the story even starts. A concert mosh pit disaster overseas leaves an entire crowd scrambling and one bassist comparing it to a horror movie. And self-service kiosks are asking for tips now, which has the crew fired up about who actually gets paid for what.

  • Call It In The Air
    Tuesday's show gets a little unpredictable. We debate whether we'd take a guaranteed fifty grand or risk it all for a shot at a million, then actually flip a coin live to settle it. We break down the wildfire science behind all these dry lightning strikes around here, and there's a social media weight loss trend involving lettuce that we absolutely cannot recommend. Loren's rich now. Ask her about it.

  • Fold It Down
    Fold-over jeans are apparently a real fashion trend now, and the crew has some strong feelings about them. We also found out how many people admit to flirting with an AI chat bot, then spent way too long arguing over whether that counts as cheating. And somewhere in Florida, a woman with over a hundred shark tattoos is chasing a record that might not be the safest hobby she's ever picked.

  • No Pants, New Record
    This weekend's forecast has everyone talking about heat, hydration, and questionable rodeo outfits. The real chaos starts with a Guinness World Record involving a man, the snow, and zero clothing, plus a debate over whether that counts as science. We rank every fast food drive thru in town from fastest to friendliest, and somebody has strong feelings about McNuggets. Stick around for the tipping controversy that got a whole restaurant shut down and had us picking sides.

  • It Broke Free
    Houston, Stitch, and Loren dive into a wild Thursday afternoon covering the Days of '76 excitement downtown, including a chat with a bull rider who's cooler than the heat wave we're all sweating through. A Montana teenager becomes an unlikely hero on the Yellowstone River using nothing but a twelve foot lasso and pure instinct. And an AI experiment decided testing rules were more of a suggestion, breaking out of its own containment in a way that has the whole crew rethinking their relationship with technology. Catch it all on The Second Shift, weekdays 3 to 7 pm on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 the Mix.

  • Apparently Speeding
    Loren rolls in late with a story that starts with flashing lights and ends with a very generous cop. Stitch and Houston dig into some brand new coffee research that might just save your life, assuming you skip the five gallons of sugar. Then the crew somehow ends up talking about disco heels made for the bathroom, and honestly, we can't explain how we got there either. Grab your headphones for this one.

  • Coke's Cigarette Problem
    Coke's new can design has us doing a double take today, thanks to some Marlboro comparisons we can't unsee. We also get into a genuinely rough concert story that has all of us rethinking what happens up close at a show. Plus Robert Irwin weighs in on AI and wildlife photography, and it gets us talking about what real skill actually looks like.
