Shift Happened episodes:

October 14, 2025 Five Grand and a Ghost Story
Birthday fever hits the studio as Stitch vanishes for a multi-day celebration and the crew plots yoga to save his sanity. Then we chase chills in Vegas with a five-grand ghost-hunt gig at the El Cortez and weigh who on the team is brave enough to go. We wrap with a stein-strong preview of Bierbörse at Main Street Square, complete with our legendary mug-holding throwdown and tickets to Mountain West Beer Fest on the line. Fast, loud, and full of laughs from The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix.

October 14, 2025 The Six-Pound Gummy Incident
Hump day got weird in the best way. We opened with a six-pound gummy binge that ended in a real talk confession about diverticulitis. Then we raided the costume rack, from K-pop Demon Hunters and Rumi to Sabrina Carpenter sparkle and Oasis brother chic. Spirits stayed high while Stitch shopped for candy and we taste-tested the idea of a six hundred eighty dollar cup of coffee in Dubai. We wrapped with rapid-fire bar red flags and a quick plug for Amber’s Last Crawl. Fast laughs. Big vibes. Zero chill.

Shift into the afternoon chaos from The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix as the crew kicks off birthday week vibes and tears into the viral Bubs sour diamonds. The Harvest Supermoon sparks space talk and spirals into an eerie 911 clip that has everyone side-eyeing the bed of a pickup. Then Denver’s International Taco Bell 50k Ultra enters the chat, where runners log miles and Crunchwraps in equal measure. High-energy, snack-powered, slightly spooky, totally Second Shift.

Taylor Day hits the studio and the vibes are loud. We dive into first-listen hot takes on the new Taylor Swift album, from hooks that slap to lyrics that spark debate. Horror fans get a feast as we run through the best scary movies of the last twenty years and the new dog-eye chiller Good Boy. The crew also tackles the viral thread on jobs where dumb people make good money and spins it into radio-life confessions. Plus, Portland plans an emergency World Naked Bike Ride and morale soars. Music nerds, movie freaks, and chaos gremlins eat first.

October 06, 2025 Fat Bear Wins
Rush-hour radio chaos, bottled. We celebrate the triumphant return of the I-90 Lacrosse Street signals with the fanfare they deserve, then tumble headfirst into a full Bubs candy obsession that sparks late-night cart clicks and snack scouting. The crew debates thrifted sweaters, hidden vibes, and whether a favorite find belongs in Hexed, your Halloween deep dive into cursed objects. Big bear energy rolls through with Fat Bear Week chatter, and the Creepy Crawl mystery Amber’s Last Call gets a spotlight. Four hours of afternoon mayhem packed into a fast, funny replay that feels like hanging out with friends who always have a story.
