Shift Happened episodes:

April 01, 2026 Eight Bucks and Zero Answers
Leslie bought not one but two Etsy psychics to help navigate some big life decisions, and honestly the jury's still out on whether either of them was legit. Meanwhile, the crew debates the Artemis 2 moon mission and whether flying around the moon without landing is a very expensive road trip. Plus, survival tips get covered, including what to do if you get stabbed, stung by a jellyfish, or somehow end up face to face with a shark.

March 31, 2026 She's Five-Five and She Runs Warm
It's a new week and somehow Stitch is still defending his Android. The crew debates green bubbles, hot chicken origin stories, and whether a twelve ton Kit Kat heist counts as living your best life. Oh, and there's a $170,000 robot named Moya who runs at body temperature and has a thousand yard stare. Perfectly normal Monday.

March 30, 2026 Let Me Check My Calendar
It's Friday and the crew is ready to close out the week. Leslie, Stitch, and Houston debate whether cassette tapes deserve a comeback, go deep on adult cheat codes that actually work, and somehow end up arguing about whether mayonnaise is a legitimate musical instrument. It's the kind of Friday energy that makes you glad the weekend's here.

March 30, 2026 Hammer to the Face
Leslie, Stitch, and Houston went a little sideways today, and honestly, it was a great time. The crew got into "looks maxing," the wild new trend where guys are literally taking hammers to their own faces in the name of being more attractive. From there, things spiraled into a full conversation about phone addiction, how long any of us could actually survive without our screens, and somehow wrapped up with a blindfolded dinner experiment.

March 26, 2026 Indestructible Sugar Chicks
Wednesday's show had a little bit of everything. Opening Day kicked things off with a debate about whether $413 for a family of four to see the Dodgers is outrageous or just baseball in 2026. Then things got delightfully weird when a deep dive into Easter candy turned into a full-on history lesson about Peeps, complete with the fact that researchers at Emory University once tried to dissolve them in sulfuric acid. And if that wasn't enough, the crew weighed in on the new Harry Potter HBO reboot and why people really need to calm down about the casting of Severus Snape.

March 25, 2026 Nobody Asked for Fart Spray, Brandon
Buckle up, because today's show is a whole mood. The crew kicks things off comparing health data on their smartwatches... except one person doesn't even own a watch, a ring, or apparently a microphone. From there it's a full debate about where you're supposed to store your butter in the fridge, and yes, people have apparently been doing it wrong their entire lives. Then someone in the building decided it would be hilarious to spray fart spray in the studio, and it was so bad they had to evacuate and relocate for thirty minutes. A practical joke that nobody thought was funny, and one that might have actually been worse than pepper spray. It's a Tuesday, people. The Second Shift with Leslie, Stitch, and Houston on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 the Mix.

March 24, 2026 Stanley Knew
Spring is here, and so is everything weird that comes with it. Today on Shift Happened, the crew kicks things off with a neighborhood mystery that's equal parts annoying and philosophical... there's a rooster next door, it crows all day long, and nobody knows the rules. The conversation somehow ends with pressure cooker recipes.

Then things get genuinely wild when a dog in England named Stanley digs up a Victorian poison bottle linked to an 1865 murder. He dug for a year, found the bottle, and never dug again. The crew's theory? The dead husband's ghost led him there. Obviously.

And if you've ever wondered who Banksy is, well, wonder no more. The mystery might finally be solved, and spoiler: he doesn't look anything like a French guy in a beret with a cigarette. Sorry.

March 23, 2026 Good Boy, ChatGPT
Leslie, Houston, and Stitch took the whole show outside for the first day of spring, soaking up vitamin D like, in their words, "TB patients being put out to sea to heal." They covered a guy in Australia who used ChatGPT and DNA sequencing to shrink his dog's tumor by 75%, which is the most wholesome AI story you'll hear all week. Then things got messy when they broke down why ABC pulled an entire Bachelorette season, because even reality TV has its limits apparently.

March 20, 2026 The Flamper
You know those days where everything starts just a little off… keys missing, locked out, running on zero sleep… yeah, that kind of chaos sets the tone right out of the gate. It somehow turns into a full-on debate about whether throwing clothes on the floor counts as a system or just giving up entirely.

Then it gets weird in the best way. A viral monkey love story has everyone questioning motives, timing, and whether fame changes you… even if you’re covered in fur and still carrying a stuffed animal.

And just when things feel somewhat grounded, it spirals into AI bringing actors back from the dead and a surprisingly real conversation about how much we trust what we see and read anymore.

It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s exactly what happens when a show runs on no sleep and too many opinions.

March 19, 2026 You Make the Call
Day after a holiday and nobody’s pretending to be productive. The crew debates whether we should all get a recovery day after celebrations… and somehow that turns into hiking in Scotland, pub arguments, and why vacations might not be relaxing at all.

There’s also a surprisingly heated breakdown of Sloppy Joes… what they are, where they came from, and why calling it a barbecue sandwich might start a fight in your kitchen.

Then things take a turn into real life decisions with a “you make the call” moment involving a viral airline incident that’s a lot messier than it first sounds. You’ll hear both sides and probably change your mind at least once.

Oh, and if you’re not getting enough hugs… apparently there’s a number for that too.
