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":"Reminder: Put Mopsy in the Game","slug":"reminder-put-mopsy-in-the-game","published_at":"2026-04-30T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-happens-1577061/reminder-put-mopsy-in-the-game","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-happens-1577061","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/DISAST8159644119.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/DISAST8159644119.mp3","summary":"In this episode we manage to accomplish absolutely nothing of substance with remarkable efficiency. Spencer digs into his mysterious origin story as \"The Spleen,\" a once-promising radio personality who got \"cited\" (not commended) back down to the evening drive slot. Along the way, we continue the debate on the legitimate athletic performance benefits of hummus, Kevin recounts being handed a fluorescent green cantaloupe slushie at a Vegas convention when he clearly asked for a Coke (he just took it and walked away), and Spencer gets judged for shopping at Walmart, where he heroically tracked down the elusive \"Dirty Mountain Dew\" by following a suspicious old woman's suspicious bottle inspection behavior. Spencer also delivers an impassioned monologue about learning to code in Godot, where he has successfully produced hexagons that are in the wrong place, and is absolutely thrilled about it. We then pivot to a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about AI as a \"fascist artifact,\" the strange permanence of internet content, and why neither of them can accept a compliment without immediately becoming suspicious of the person giving it. Somewhere in there we also vow to retroactively fix their September 11th episode by literally editing ourselves traveling back in time into it, which they probably won't do. Emails are read, a mystery Taco Bell sign remains unaccounted for, and Spencer wraps things up by abruptly leaving the Zoom call. Learn more about your ad choices.
