Listen "Because I Said So"
Episode Synopsis
It’s a classic Monday on Shift Happened, and the mood is just as all-over-the-place as the topics. Houston kicks things off in a funk because—brace yourself—it’s too nice outside. That spirals into a discussion about seasonal affective disorder in reverse, the emotional impact of too many windows, and why blackout curtains are apparently worth fighting about.From there, it only gets weirder. The crew debates whether anyone could realistically outrun a chicken, discovers that 2% of people think they could beat a horse in a race, and learns about a man in Nevada who had seven emotional support tigers. AI is now being tested as a therapist, Minecraft moviegoers are turning theaters into war zones, and someone out there just did 10,001 pull-ups in 24 hours — because that’s apparently a thing people do.There’s also a passionate defense of The Jungle Book, a weekend wine and food fest in Deadwood, and a negotiation hack involving the word “because” that might just change your life… or at least help you get someone to refill your water bottle.It’s chaotic, it’s oddly therapeutic, and it’s definitely the kind of Monday show that only Shift Happened can deliver. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
