What Happending?

With Ari away eating ice cream again, special guest star Kelley joins Jon and Carlos to, finally, watch First and Ten, the HBO sitcom starring OJ Simpson that nobody's ever heard of! The laugh track is confused and shows up late to the party, which is full of planted cocaine and swimming pool balloons. The NFL is working with the mob.  Salvino saves everything. 

 The Lemon Twist, Peter Bonerz, the I-5 killer's flasher football career, flexible chubby fighters, taco speedboats, and Dr. Death are also discussed.

Special guest star Melissa helps our hosts explore the chronicles de Don Fernando and his familia in a What Happending language-learner first.  Many questions arise about the mystery of the hacienda. Just what is written in la carta? Who is the mysterious ghost bride? Why doesn't the avocado save money on travel and make a phone call or two? Will the chubby boy from Madrid find his dog? And how many hijos does Don Fernando have, and when does an hija become hijos?

Cutlass fording, cuatroshadowing, giant Stargate portals, empanada continuity, and Y Tu Mama Tambien popcorn breaks are also discussed.

The real Bob Newhart's fake phone call skills are on full display as our hosts watch the first and last episode of Newhart with special guest star Kelley! A satiated Ari doesn't leave for ice cream during the first segment. The finale has a stunning twist the likes of which the What Happending podcast has never witnessed.

DragonHeart, Cop Rock, Dr. Sisqo, Clifford, Daniel Day Lewis's GoGurt, and Simon Birch storytime are also discussed.

OJ Simpson has to wait a week, it's time for Becker and the Scone Zone! In the first segment, Ari goes out for ice cream and never returns, but luckily Jake Becker is around to help Jon and Carlos watch John Becker and Jake. And Linda. The Becker finale yields a long lost surprise.

Ted Danson's pants, Ted Danson's eyes, Ted Danson's hair, Ted Danson's arm movement, Ted Danson's brow, and Ted Danson's personality are also discussed.

Our hosts are treated to a beautiful slice of Canadian trash life as they watch the first and last episode of the INITIAL seven season run of this mockumentary smash hit. Before watching, Jon has lots of questions about what constitutes the series finale. Luckily Ari has all the answers, and even throws in a beautiful anecdote from his childhood.

ReBoot, Heat, Training Day, Kenny Powers, knife hits, Drunk Oscars, Stunt Oscars, and Pat Roach are also discussed. 

It's kissy-kissy time in the Big Apple! Our hosts are treated to a delightful pile of Helen Hunt's frozen rolling pin lasagna served in Paul Reiser's Pyrex, and Ari's doppelganger makes his first What Happending appearance.

Raw Reality, Seinfeld with cell phones, and Selby's knobs are also discussed.

It's the season 7 premiere! In celebration of reaching the 100 number milestone, our hosts rehash the very first (and never aired) episode of What Happending and rewatch the CBS classic Numb-threer's. What did they remember? What did they forget? And just who will win the Rob Morrow Award??

Math maps, Home Improvement, Brisket Fridays, Alice Cooper bike stabbings, and Don Vito are also discussed.

The dramatic conclusion to the Centennial Retrospective has arrived! Our hosts discuss the best and worst shows and theme songs, brainstorm crossover possibilities, and lament cliffhangers for which they will never know the answer. Jon also has a quiz!

The 100th episode extravaganza is here! In part one of this miraculous two-part event, our hosts discuss their favorite and least favorite characters from the What Happending archive, nominate candidates for "best death," and roll out the red carpet for the winners of the What Happending MVP. The votes are tallied… who is taking home the hardware??

Synth music, white linen suits, cigarette boats, and LSD alligators... it's time for an '80s classic, all 145 minutes of it.

Vin Diesel, Jurassic Park, brandy beef, Calderon's locker room presence, Jabba Housewife, and The Matrix are also discussed.
