Well… it finally happened.

Maggie and Caleb are officially getting married in the back of a monster truck. After fourteen years together, they survived the Newlywed Game, beat out the competition, and now they’ve got about a week to mentally prepare for vows delivered by Redneck Bob. In public. On a monster truck. Romance isn’t dead. It’s just loud.

This episode has everything. Leslie’s interview with the president of Burger King sparks a full-on debate about AI tracking your manners. There’s a brain-computer interface story that somehow turns into Skynet and silent airports. We figure out why basketball shoes squeak, uncover the world’s oldest fossilized reptile butthole in Germany, and collectively decide TikTok trends may have officially jumped the shark.

Oh, and Fruit of the Loom is making a sweatpant suit. Because of course they are.

It’s chaotic. It’s childish. It’s Friday energy in full form.

Catch all the breaks from 3 to 7 on The Kat 98.7 and 93.9 The Mix, wrapped up in one place. This… is Shift Happened.

Stitch is back from Denver, Houston is still slightly jazz-radio after surgery, and somehow we ended up debating whether Mariah Carey belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

We break down the latest Hall of Fame nominations and spiral into the age-old argument… is it rock and roll, or is it just music? Iron Maiden makes sense. Shakira? We have thoughts.

We also talk about the terrifying Omaha sinkhole that swallowed two cars at a stoplight, the Brazilian guy whose phone exploded mid-dog attack and possibly saved his life, and a rogue delivery robot that destroyed a woman’s garden and tried to make a getaway.

Plus, would you shave ten years off your life for ten million dollars? Stitch already spent the money.

Concerts, chaos, and coco robots.

Houston is back… kind of.

Fresh out of surgery, slightly medicated, and sounding like late-night jazz radio, Houston returns to the mic and immediately thanks anesthesia for whatever it did to his vocal cords. We get a behind-the-scenes look at hospital recovery, lidocaine patches, and the weird mental state that comes with talking to yourself in a room for hours.

Of course, we had to revisit Punch the monkey. The internet’s favorite baby fuzz celebrity now has Ikea scrambling to restock a $20 stuffed orangutan that’s selling for hundreds online. Influencer status achieved.

We also dive into the hotel Keurig underwear scandal, the cling wrap “diet” trend that absolutely no one should try, how many extra pairs of underwear you really need for vacation, and whether you’re supposed to throw yours out after 50 washes.

Plus, Mountain West Whiskey Festival is almost here, and Rapid City procrastinators have officially entered panic mode.

Medicated wisdom. Monkey drama. Microplastics.

Shift happened.

No Stitch. No Houston. Just Leslie… and her thoughts.

Today’s Shift Happened feels like when your emotional support coworkers call in sick and you’re left wandering the hallways alone. So naturally, we spiral into ancient Roman flatbread, a lifelong vegetarian who caved for a $120 steak, and whether any of us truly have a moral price.

We also unpack the wild story of a mom who vanished for 24 years and was just found living a completely new life, the social media “bone smashing” trend that absolutely no one should try, and why brushing your teeth might actually save your brain.

Plus, Reading Rainbow is back, Mountain West Whiskey Festival is basically tomorrow, and Dobby the four-eared kitten has stolen the internet.

It’s chaotic. It’s thoughtful. It’s slightly unhinged.

No Houston. No problem. Mostly.

On today’s Shift Happened, Stitch and Leslie recap a monster weekend in the Black Hills, including a jam band with a horn section that had people driving in from Nebraska just to catch the vibe. Not saying it was legendary… but it was close.

We also gear up for The Newlywed Game this Thursday, where four brave couples will battle it out for the chance to get married in the back of a monster truck. Romance isn’t dead. It just has bigger tires.

Plus, the Olympics wrap up with the U.S. taking home 12 gold medals, Mr. Clean is “retiring” after 68 years, Dunkin’ is selling iced coffee in literal buckets, and the internet is emotionally unstable over a baby monkey named Punch.

Oh, and apparently we now need official reminders not to poop on city buses.

It’s Monday. We survived. Shift happened.

Houston is out getting scoped… and yes, we talked about it way too much.

On today’s Shift Happened, Stitch and Leslie hold down the fort while Houston undergoes his procedure, and the show somehow turns into a mix of medical oversharing, metal music, and Burger King corporate chaos.

We call the actual president of Burger King on-air to test his new “call me directly” hotline. Did he answer? Not exactly… but we left a voicemail that may or may not land us a fast food interview.

We also debate the one type you’ll never date again, confess to hiding online purchases, and celebrate Stitch hitting 47 days alcohol-free. Oh, and William Shatner, who is somehow 94 years old, is releasing a heavy metal album with 35 metal legends.

Yes. Captain Kirk. Metal.

No Houston. No filter. Just Friday energy.

Houston’s out preparing for surgery, and apparently that means the show immediately goes off the rails.

Today’s Shift Happened features Stitch and Leslie fully unsupervised, which leads to a deep dive into the correct way to shower. Yes, there is a wrong order. Yes, conditioner might be betraying your skin. And yes, we spent an alarming amount of time on this.

We also tackle the Reese’s conspiracy that’s shaking candy lovers to their core. Did they secretly change the recipe, or is this just internet panic doing what it does best?

Plus, YouTube’s very first video is now museum-worthy, U2 drops a politically charged EP, and Shia LaBeouf makes headlines again in New Orleans.

No Houston. No adult supervision. Just vibes.

Shift happened.

Snow might be coming. Or maybe not. Nobody believes the forecast anyway.

On today’s Shift Happened, the crew debates the one sound that means you’re in immediate danger, and yes, it includes that terrifying moment when the Black Hills woods go completely silent. Mountain lion? Ghosts? Either way… we’re running.

We also dive into bedtime gaps in relationships and why going to sleep at the same time might actually make you happier. Or at least less cranky. Houston shares how that flipped over the years, and suddenly everyone feels personally attacked.

Plus, Tracy Morgan owns a 20,000-gallon shark tank with some of the deadliest creatures on the planet, Colorado is stirring up headlines again, and we ask the big question… when AI takes over The Simpsons, do we even get a say?

Oh, and yes. The Redneck Wedding is officially moving forward. Someone is getting married in the back of a monster truck. As one does.

Shift happened. It always does.
