Shift Happened

Stitch gives Mark his full attention today, phone stashed across the room, and somehow it still goes sideways. They put Stitch through a full speed test against the animal kingdom, from squirrels to elephants to a reindeer going fifty miles an hour, and the scorecard is not pretty. Mark drops the story of a guy who has been walking around the planet for twenty eight years and hasn’t hugged his kid in just as long, and the guys try to figure out what a person even does after that. Then wicker men, vampire movie rankings, and a debate about wh...

Houston flies solo on this one and dives straight into Halloween chaos, from shrinking candy bars to a five hundred dollar grand prize waiting at the Creepy Crawl.

Then things get wild with a lawsuit involving the actor who voiced Sid from Toy Story, now accused of scamming an elderly couple out of nearly a million dollars in gold coins. Houston wraps it up with a hot take on airplane seat etiquette that mi...

Houston comes back from a week on the couch only to get blamed for the whole office catching his cold, which Stitch is not about to let go. Somewhere between that and a story about South Dakota’s law against “sliming,” Stitch reveals his plan to be buried in a Pringles can. The Black Hills Brawl gets its due too, with a string of facts about everything that didn’t exist the first time Black Hills State and Mines played football.

Stitch and Zacky Moon run the show today, kicking things off with a real local business called Turd Tossers, the professional poop pickup crew that solves everyone’s backyard problem. They move into hair banking, a new experimental treatment that freezes your follicles now so science can clone them back onto your scalp later. Somewhere in between, a debate breaks out over who actually drives the speed limit on Sturgis Road, and McDonald’s new Disney villain boo buckets get the attention they deserve.

Zach and Mitchell sign up for a real contest that gets you cremated and stored inside a Pringles can for eternity, flavor debates included.

Stitch and Zaccy Moon rank the internet’s list of boomer Halloween candy and immediately start arguing over whether Laffy Taffy and Starburst even belong on it. They dig into a batch of doctor-submitted stories about the dumbest things patients have ever done, including a guy who pulled a knife out of his own chest and then put it back in after a 911 operator told him not to. They wrap up debating whether they’d walk through a cemetery alone at night, and the national numbers on that are lower than either of them expects.

Houston marks Native American Day with the real story behind the state’s name, which traces back to a word that means friend or ally. He digs into Billy Mills, the Pine Ridge runner who shocked the world at the 1964 Olympics, and the Lakota code talkers whose language helped win World War Two while staying classified for decades. He also explains why the Lakota have let a billion dollar settlement for the Black Hills sit untouched since 1980.

Houston goes digging through Amazon’s new About You feature and finds strangers’ profiles calling out things like flat buttocks and zero friends, then can’t resist checking what the algorithm has decided about him. A sleep study on dogs and their owners settles the debate over who keeps who up at night, and the numbers don’t fall where most pet owners would guess. Houston also breaks down a TV ownership study and admits his father in law owns six, one for every room, so he never misses a football play.

Houston puts Stitch through a pop quiz on words nobody actually knows, from the chalaza in an egg to the glabella between your eyebrows, and Stitch hates every second of it. Houston points everybody toward tonight’s Draconid meteor shower, best viewed after the free Main Street Square anniversary party downtown. The two also swap confessions about the albums that soundtracked their first makeout sessions, which somehow leads into concert plans for Def Leppard and the Break the Cycle anniversary tour.

Houston and Stitch kick off the show with a sneezy standoff, trading blame over who gave who a cold, which somehow spirals into a deep dive on a mysterious plague death in Siberia and a years-long inside joke about Serbian versus Siberian tigers. From there they tackle National Taco Day with some wild stats on the 1.7 million Americans who have never eaten a taco, and Houston breaks down his mom's secret North Dakota taco recipe in full deep-fried detail. The afternoon wraps with Stitch's second annual birthday chili feed benefiting the Friday meals program, proving these two can turn a...

Stitch wants a whole birthday month and Houston is having none of it, though he does cave enough to help plan Stitch Fest, a chili feed this Saturday raising money for the Friday band show meals that keep people fed all winter.

Anger isn't fixed by yelling, and Houston's got the science to prove venting makes it worse, not better. Then Rapid City tap water gets a shiny national nod while Stitch still can't bring himself to drink it from the faucet.

Stitch is out today, so Houston flies solo and dives into the bomb threat hoax that shut down Monument Health this morning, tracing it back through a wild history of copycat callers and one guy who tried it with actual dynamite at a Lake Tahoe casino. He also celebrates Rapid City's own Adam Vinatieri setting a Guinness World Record with a field goal kicked eleven thousand feet up in the Swiss Alps, then throws out his most controversial take of the week: live music might be exhausting even when it is your favorite thing in the world, AC DC show...

Houston is back from Canada and he brought stories for days. Stitch grills him on his sudden Tim Hortons obsession, a croissant breakfast sandwich apparently worth crossing a border for, and the wild tale of scoring two hundred and fifty dollar AC DC tickets in Winnipeg while a stranger swore he sounded like he was from Texas. The guys also map out where you absolutely do not want to be when the zombie apocalypse finally hits, and place their bets on this year's Fat Bear Week champion.

Stitch stumbles onto a newspaper writeup about Houston that turns into a full roast session about ego and headlines. Then a candy corn perfume shows up in the studio and we spend way too long arguing about what "notes of spun sugar" are supposed to smell like. Plus, there's a mystery brewing ahead of the Creepy Crawl on October 30th that nobody, including the people running it, can explain.

We run the actual numbers on what it would cost to replace one of us with a robot, and the math is closer than anyone wants to admit.

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.

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...

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.

And we get into which roads around Rapid City make it almost impossible to actually hit the speed limit.

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.

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.

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...

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.
