Is the phrase “That is typically exactly what happens “ grammatically correct?
Wondering if it makes sense to say “That is typically exactly what happens “. My wife tells me I can’t use the words typically and exactly together.

Yes, you can use them together. Some people may not like how it sounds, but it's perfectly fine. Although you don't have to, you can also add a comma before and after typically.
