Gone are the days of Jeff and Spencer’s asinine jokery, That Happens chronicles the slow deconstruction of the man Patton Oswalt once hailed as having “incredible comedic timing.” Ranting uninterrupted about daily political minutia or tiktok trends, Spencer occasionally breaks down and questions his life, podcast, and reality itself, as Kevin smiles, pained, trying to pull the show back onto the rails with a listener question or quick-fire rhetorical premise. What was is gone, and what’s left is bitter, battery acid-flavored reality. That Happens.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-04T14:20:37.743605+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-happens-1577061"},"episode":{"title":"Christmas Tree of Agony","slug":"christmas-tree-of-agony","published_at":"2026-03-05T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-happens-1577061/christmas-tree-of-agony","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-happens-1577061","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/DISAST6327226923.mp3?updated=1772690744","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/DISAST6327226923.mp3?updated=1772690744","summary":"Spencer's car got broken into, he's unsure if he's accidentally racist, then nearly killed an elderly jaywalker, realizes he's midway through a slow flanderization into a caricature of himself, and ate some restaurant food that tastes like bleach. We also touch on why there's a healing fantasy about strong man politicians, parental wounds being capitalist tools, and how Magic: The Gathering's stack system works.
