Description

“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.

You should do a Twitter character creator episode, a Facebook character creator episode, and throw a a livecast/livestream Castbox /YouTube character creator episode. Throw them into your D&D pile for "special appearances" and Soo more D&D :-)

Needs a new engineer and editor. The audio mistakes keep me away. Hearing Kevin breathing or chewing because he didn't mute his own channel is infuriating.

2nd week in a row you left the d&d music randomly on the timeline and it drowned out a bunch of Jeff and Spencer's chat.
