“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-fir ...

Rob Schrab sits with Spencer to talk about writing and directing for things like Rick & Morty and Community, and opens up about his fears about being a "90-percenter", burnout, and the eternal question of whether to keep grinding or just accept that maybe you've done enough cool stuff for one lifetime. Spencer fires back with some ideas about light…

In this particularly unhinged episode of Anime Binge Club, Spencer drags us through the psychological meat grinder that is "The End of Evangelion."

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.
