Shift Happened

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.

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.

Stitch nearly starts a riot over a stale pop tart before pizza swoops in to save the day, a Florida steakhouse wants you to show up wearing nothing but a smile, and a teenager who broke a three hundred year old record has the crew questioning their own life choices.

All that and more from 3 to 7 on The Kat and 93.9 the Mix.

This one's got a shaky stage, a questionable ear routine, and a lawsuit that might owe you tacos.We break down the Goo Goo Dolls show at the Monument, including a moment on stage that had us convinced someone was about to get fired. We also settle the debate on whether digging around in your ears with a Q-tip is doing more harm than good, and Taco Bell customers might have an actual case worth real money.Oh, and the rally's officially here. Brace yourselves.

Colonel 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. And airports are about to let people string up hammocks in the terminal, because regular chairs apparently weren't uncomfortable enough. This one's a good one for your drive home.

We dig into the disease making a comeback in Florida, and it's not one you'd expect. Turns out there's an everyday critter you should never touch, and koalas aren't as cuddly as they look either. Loren also gets an update on that speeding ticket saga, and there's a new update on why your license plate might be getting photographed around town. Grab your headphones and settle in.

Loren's ex resurfaces with a phone call and zero self awareness, and the poo emoji in her contacts tells you everything you need to know before the story even starts.
