“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 s... more

  • Abed sucks

    Least cool guy in the world, idk why Spencer Dan and Kevin have a high opinion of him. Sounds dumb and way too try hard. He should feel bad for the way he portrays himself.

  • An awesome time with quirky guys

    I miss Master Manual but this show is a fantastic replacement. I love rant after hilarious rant that can also become quite philosophical. Keep it up, Spencer!

  • Hidden gem of a podcast

    Spencer and Kevin’s weekly podcasts have a really cozy feeling. It’s like hanging out with two old friends as they discuss current events, anime and soda pop. It’s always very cathartic to hear Spencer vent his frustration with the absurdity of the world around him as well as finding the humor in the everyday. Give the show a chance and you won’t be disappointed

It's hard to distinguish the reasons behind smoking again and whether it's related to my insecurities in relationships.
Yell a Threatening Monologue Across a Meadow
