That Happens

That Happens

“What am I?” The podcast trudges on through oblivion. 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.

It turns out there are more of you listening than we thought, but Spencer is more focused on his controversial tax plan, recursion into AI, and trolling us on the plot of Death Stranding 2. Making things worse are Grok's government contracts, Kevin Spacey's videos and ChatGPT for children. We also premiere the world debut of The Spleen's new dance track.

The gas leak episode. Is it a clip show? No. Let us paint a picture of a podcast that has somehow survived despite, or perhaps because of, its complete lack of direction. Celebrate the fact that we somehow reached 200 episodes through sheer stubborn momentum rather than any conventional measure of success. Congratulations, Spencer. Learn more about your ad choices.

Slicing into some tasty blood oranges has got to be part of it. A listener convinces us to put mayonnaise in our eggs, but we may end up just suing ourselves in a legal loophole and end up right back in prison selling knives. Learn more ...
