Shift Happened

Houston is stuck in the hospital, so Stitch and Leslie hijack The Second Shift for a very unqualified wellness check on his ego and his chart. They dream of a white Christmas, experiment with potato candy, and fall into a saga about a guy who road trips with an injured raccoon that turns out to have rabies. Holiday family drama gets a survival plan with the art of grey rocking, New Year’s resolutions take a reality check, and Rolling Stone’s top albums list has them wondering if country fans ever stand a chance.

On this Shift Happened, Houston refuses to miss the show and checks in live from a hospital bed in Sturgis, IV bags, monitors and wisecracks included. The crew tears into Kim Kardashian’s Ten Commandments of business and decides which ones actually hit. Then things get awkward and hilarious with IRS agents watching OnlyFans and a debate over how much allowance kids really deserve.

Shift Happened turns a so called snow day into a full afternoon of chaos. Leslie and Stitch talk National Giving Day with SD Gives, question whether anyone needs Amazon dropping a baguette pillow on the porch in thirty minutes, and side-eye Simon Cowell’s very late apology tour. They also roast Rolling Stone’s top movies list that no one has seen, then dig into Oxford’s word of the year, rage bait, with a scroll through Threads that proves the internet loves to wind us up. 

Houston’s out, Leslie’s back from Philly, and things get a little unhinged on Shift Happened. The crew draws a hard line on when Thanksgiving leftovers turn from delicious to dangerous, wonders if Black Friday has swallowed Cyber Monday whole, and dives into those Stranger Things and Kim Kardashian brain scan headlines. They even decode a viral “pregnant wife pizza order” that would terrify most delivery kitchens. 

Shift Happened is your daily rewind of The Second Shift on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix, packed with every break from 3 to 7. In this Black Friday episode, Stitch and Houston trade wild retail legends, from pepper spray in the Xbox aisle to a two dollar kitchen deal that spirals into chaos. They even dream up billboard stunts, confess to Thanksgiving overload, and tell the story of a tiny kid snowsuit that shows up with the wrong name stitched on the back. 

Shift Happened rewinds the Thanksgiving Second Shift on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix, where Stitch and Houston give thanks for the strangest stuff in your life. From the burr covered hike that led to Velcro, to bomb sniffing bees, to the melted candy bar moment that birthed the microwave, this one is all caffeine, chaos and gratitude, perfect while you sneak another slice of pie and dodge small talk. 

Shift Happened is serving up a full Thanksgiving Survival Field Guide with Stitch and Houston on the mics. From the fryer fire phase of deep fried turkey disasters to turkey trot injuries that wreck more ankles than the kitchen ever does, the guys work through every hazard hiding in the holiday. They dig into road trip regret, grocery store Thunderdomes, Black Friday bruises, leftover roulette and even crown a new Thanksgiving legend in Terry the Turkey, patron saint of side dishes and naps. 

Shift Happened is back in your ears with Stitch and Houston gearing up for Thanksgiving radio magic while secretly planning to spend the holiday in sweatpants at home instead of the studio. They clear up the Ben Franklin turkey myth and argue that turkeys might be the real street toughs of America. The guys sort out what your pets actually want to hear when you walk out the door and drag AC DC into the mix, then things get weirder with an Iowa thrill seeker picking the most unhinged way to escape a dull life and a caller who reaches out to a radio station before the cops. This is your full recap of every break from Second Shift, 3 to 7 in the afternoon on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix. 

The Second Shift had some real swing moments. Stitch showed up feeling rough about his Vikings, then something pretty unexpected turned his whole day around. Houston and Stitch also opened up about the emotional week in the Black Hills after the Reptile Gardens fire, trying to make sense of the mix of sadness and relief in the community. And they fell into a hilarious debate after a strange story out of Pennsylvania where a simple trip to Walmart turned into trouble over a loose twenty. Plus the usual Thanksgiving food drama and snack aisle confessions that keep the show moving.
