PODCAST

That Happens

Disastrophy Audio

“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

The Spleen broadcasts live from a stadium dumpster and becomes a white mage of Tinactin and banana peels. We try to figure out what makes sense of the recent Epstein files drama, the government's bold strategy of just lying about everything, make some predictions that are sure not to age poorly, and try to figure out why we both have had bad experiences with smoked Gouda cheese.Learn more about your ad choices.

Every Accusation Is a Confession

2026/02/05

This week, the Spleen attempts to cover the Grammys from an increasingly questionable "red carpet". Between intense discussions about yakasoba bread (yes, it's noodles in a sandwich with pickled ginger, yes it's amazing), we somehow stumble into surprisingly coherent discussions about: the lack of imagination in conservative thinking, why every accusation really is a confession, the absolutely wild Epstein files, ICE raids in LA, and whether small business tax fraud is morally different from

The Show Must Go On

Kevin and Spencer talk Pluribus, then detour off to rant about technical nuances of television production and why you can't see or hear anything in TV shows anymore. Spencer discovers he can zoom on Zoom, much to our delight. Somehow we end up on thoughts on self-esteem versus collective purpose, the importance of doing something even when you can't do everything, and why baking cookies for your neighbors counts as praxis.Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedian Eli Yudin joins the show for what starts as a chat about animation and art school but quickly spirals into deep discussion on why everything is broken. We cover the important stuff: why old Newgrounds animations slapped, whether musical comedy is real comedy, the insane labor practices destroying creative industries, why growth-obsessed capitalism is a death cult, and most crucially, the correct Elden Ring build.Eli shares stories about his comedy special "Humble Offering," explains why

2026/01/15

We look back at our predictions we made at the start of last year, along with current events... in horror.

Is the first domino about to fall, or are we about to reboot as America 2.0? Spencer tries to look back at his 2025 tarot readings and do a new one for 2026. Are we headed towards more petulance

Spencer and Kevin reflect on 2025's cascade of failures while attempting to maintain the festive spirit through sheer force of will and a few more questionable beverage choices to round out the year.

Spencer's comes up with a plan to relaunch the Sizzler chain of restaurants as Steakler that might have more merit than you think, before he stumbles on the realization that thoughts are just "some guy being like, look at this!" which is probably the most accurate description of Buddhist philosophy you'll hear today.
