Shift Happened

Leslie and Stitch hold the second shift down while Houston finishes his vacation. Vogue has declared 2026 the year of the crack, and a model at Cannes is selling unbuttoned shirts that may actually be shawls. Hormel is rolling out the spam dog this summer, and there's a farm in Massachusetts scooping asparagus ice cream by the cone. Plus a Louisiana baker took a $700 order to light a cheating boyfriend's birthday cake on fire, and the video is online.

Leslie and Stitch run the Celebrity Power Hour while Houston eats his way through Casa Bonita in Denver. Taylor Swift is calling wedding guests on the phone so the date doesn't leak, and the date she gave them is "this summer." Britney Spears was spotted barking at her dinner at a place called the Blue Dog Tavern, and her rep has a perfectly reasonable explanation. Plus California wants 140 mile per hour buses on the freeway, which is essentially the plot of Speed.

Leslie and Stitch hold down the fort while Houston's out, and a viral TikTok of a woman crying over men in flip flops kicks off a full debate about toe hair, Birkenstocks, and whether jeans with sandals is a vibe or a crime. Halo Top has invented a four-dollar spoon that silences your phone while you eat, which raises one important question. Plus a new poll ranks the coolest things in America, and somehow sourdough bread beat out most of rock and roll.

Houston and Stitch celebrate breaking the Children's Miracle Network record with $106,000 raised, then nerd out hard over Burger King's $21 Mandalorian and Grogu collector's meal before getting completely lost in Star Wars timeline talk. The guys also dig into whether throwing up a peace sign in photos can actually get your fingerprints stolen, debate if companies owe you a kickback for wearing their hats, and unpack the dreaded "Boomer bad news drop."

A wild theory about why T-Rex arms were so tiny, the viral exotic cat called Big Floppa that's fooling people into thinking they need one, and two kinds of anxiety where only one helps you live longer. Plus, a rogue stove burner and a salmonella story that'll make you side-eye your chocolate.

Mark Houston is flying solo today, which means the hantavirus story gets the deep dive treatment, a Montana mom finds out her farmhouse sits on a garter snake den with up to eight slithering through her kitchen daily, and the Florida diamond thief swallows his evidence only for police to find two bonus earrings nobody can explain. Also, science says we're genetically closer to cats than dogs, and Leslie's going to have opinions about that tomorrow.

The crew gets heated about whether tots belong on a plate of fries, debates if a rabid beaver attack in New Jersey is reason enough to never leave the house, and breaks down the viral tweet claiming grown men playing video games is unattractive. Plus, a high-pitched mouse sound that splits the room by age, and one dog named Moses who became a hero in an Arizona driveway. 

The crew digs into Kellogg's bringing back toys in cereal boxes for Toy Story 5, and Houston is already plotting to buy ten boxes of Corn Pops. Things get heated over Kraft mac and cheese when one woman online discovers the actual instructions, sparking a debate about how much butter is too much butter. Plus, a viral fight breaks out over who gets shotgun: the girlfriend or the mom?

Tequila Tuesday hit early on The Second Shift. Houston walks Leslie through the actual history of Cinco de Mayo, including how a ragtag Mexican army at the Battle of Puebla may have quietly saved the Union during the Civil War. Then things get grim with a hantavirus outbreak stranding a cruise ship near Cape Verde, before the show pivots to a viral Reddit thread of women revealing the moment they realized their boyfriend was an idiot, and Houston has to defend himself against the bangs incident. Also, a medical fact about heart palpitations that nobody in this studio wanted to learn.
