Shift Happened

Today's guest walks in as a bass player and leaves as certified local royalty, and we don't figure out why until the very end. Stitch spends a good chunk of the show trying to convince everyone alligators are basically swamp puppies right after a Florida gator story that says otherwise. And we run through the growing list of things that used to come free, phone chargers, concert fees, Disney fast passes, and why none of it adds up anymore.

Houston's back behind the mic and he wastes no time picking a fight with Stitch over exactly how much backwash makes a shared water bottle unforgivable. Three hikers let an AI app plan their route up Mount Shasta and ended up spending a night on that mountain they never planned for. Plus, police departments across the country are raising concerns about a pair of smart glasses that could be recording them without their knowledge. Today's guest Zaccy Moon weighs in on all of it.

Grab your headphones because this one gets weird fast. The crew catches you up on a Taiwan husband who caught his wife cheating through their robot vacuum's camera, and the lawsuit drama that followed left everybody paying up, including a five month stint behind bars. Then the guys dig into "pheromone maxing," a new dating trend built around skipping the shower and the deodorant before a date, all in the name of natural pheromones. Add in a buffalo song stuck in everyone's head and a quarantined petting zoo full of rabid baby goats, and you've got yourself a full afternoon of chaos on The Kat.

Stitch spends the show chasing a Guinness World Record with nothing but a sticky note and a pen, trying to cram as many three and four letter words onto one line as humanly possible. We also dig into some National Radio Day stats, including an old survey that ranked radio personalities among the sexiest jobs around. And we get into which roads around Rapid City make it almost impossible to actually hit the speed limit.

Today we get into why Jason Kelce wants everyone's pee to help cool AI data centers, and how beer ended up part of the plan. A tourist tried sneaking two hundred lizards through airport security by hiding them in his socks, and we break down his entire business plan. We also swap phobias and land on the story of a fisherman who spent fifteen days trapped in an underwater cave. Press play for today's Second Shift.

Tuesday's Second Shift kicks off fair week by demanding someone explain why the Central States Fair isn't actually a state fair. From there we fall straight down a nutmeg rabbit hole, trying to figure out if there's any real pumpkin in a pumpkin spice latte. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we hatch a full scheme to get Loren a boyfriend, complete with a burning building, a firefighter's arms and a relationship quiz disguised as pillow talk. Fair week starts Friday. This is how we're getting ready.
