Shift Happened
The Black Widow Broadcast
Ep. 378
•
Monday's crew rolls in running on rally fumes, and Lauren finally spills the story she's been hiding for a week. A black widow spider bit her under the media desk at Sturgis, and what followed was three trips to the ER and a doctor who tried to convince her it was only a tick. The team also counts down to the Central States Fair with a lineup that includes a sheep show, a demolition derby, and a stein holding competition at the German tent. And somewhere in there, science reveals a way to make lettuce taste like meat, proving this Monday had a little bit of everything.

379. Rescue Me, Maybe
19:14||Ep. 379Tuesday'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.377. Bare Table for Two

Brace yourselves.374. The Colonel's Secret
23:51||Ep. 374Colonel Sanders' old leather planner just sold at auction for thirty grand, and it might be hiding the most famous secret recipe on the planet. DoorDash is rolling out its own delivery drones, and somebody on our show has already called dibs on flying one.

15:56||Ep. 371Tuesday's show gets a little unpredictable. We debate whether we'd take a guaranteed fifty grand or risk it all for a shot at a million, then actually flip a coin live to settle it.

Loren's rich now. Ask her about it.
