The Dog You’d Date (And Other Bad Ideas)

It’s a Friday free-for-all on The Second Shift! Houston accidentally wears a $150 Supreme x MF DOOM shirt he stole from his son’s closet, and the crew debates whether they’d give up their phones at a Ghost concert. We also break down the big Coldplay kiss cam cheating scandal, complete with the worst apology ever, and explore the moral chaos of the Chicken Crosswalk Mace Attack in Florida. Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered what your pet would be like as a human... just wait for that unsettling AI discussion. Buckle up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Slap Me for a Thousand, Bro

On World Emoji Day, we found out the calendar emoji is the real reason July 17 gets the honor, because that’s the date shown on Apple’s calendar icon. The gang shares their most-used emojis, debates what it really means, and wonders if grandma has ever used the eggplant emoji correctly. From there, we roll straight into National Tattoo Day with rally regrets, bee tattoos, and the dream of a drunken toad on a toadstool. And then things get personal, how much money would it take for you to leave your partner, get punched in the face, or give up gaming...

The Legend of the Stitch Dog

It’s National Hot Dog Day on The Second Shift and the crew wastes no time diving into a full-blown wiener war. From favorite brands to the legendary Stitch Dog, the debate is saucy and hilarious. Things heat up further with a look at fake designer handbags that might be better than the real thing. And if you’ve ever struggled to pronounce Worcestershire, you’re in good company. Toss in a spirited chat about swearing, mean bosses, and cows enjoying the weather, and you’ve got a show that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. Hosted on Acast.

Okay, Grandma!

It's hoodie weather in July and the Second Shift crew is spiraling, from renting grandmas in Japan to using Sharpies as lip liner. Leslie and Stitch argue over water quality while Houston shares his theater kid past. Plus, the gang places bets on this year’s Sturgis Rally attendance, debates the Gen Z Stare, and reacts to Elmo’s deeply disturbing (and very hacked) Twitter meltdown. It’s chaos, it’s comfort, it’s Tuesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Call Me Gambit, Mon Chéri

It was a wild weekend and Shift Happened is here for all of it. A boat exploded on Sheridan Lake and now people are talking about pirates. There were fish belly-up in Memorial Park and a creepy fisherman ghost may be casting lines at Pactola. If that’s not enough, we dive into the story of a woman who went on a real date with her AI boyfriend, complete with two entrees and emotional shrimp jokes. We also break down America’s favorite accents and learn about a robot that can perform surgery with a perfect success rate. Welcome to Monday. Hosted...

The Lice Cream Facial

On today’s wild ride of Shift Happened, we dig into the chaos of parenting a baby who refuses to sleep, complete with the thousand-yard stare of pure exhaustion. Then we dive straight into a live eel emergency surgery (yes, you read that right), a million-dollar purse for people who hate you, and why someone on the show is putting lice cream on their face. Voluntarily. Plus, it’s National French Fry Day, so of course we rank the best types of fries and rage against crinkle cuts. It’s weird, it’s fun, and it’s definitely not FDA approved.

Bloom and Doom

On today’s Shift Happened, things get wild and a little weird. The gang celebrates the triumphant return of McDonald’s Snack Wrap, dives into the shocking science of “death blooms”, and debates the hot-button etiquette question: should you stack your plates at a restaurant or let the servers do their thing? Plus, there's a creature that’s part dog, part fox, and totally blowing our minds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
