Shift Happened

Twelve Chickens Deep

Ep. 327

Leslie and Stitch hold down the second shift one last day before Houston's back. TSA is daring travelers to bring as many rotisserie chickens on a plane as they can carry, which somehow leads to a deep dive on the agency's official list of approved cargo, including live lobsters, bowling pins, and whole watermelons. Then a poll asks what people would do if they could freeze time, and the answers get morally questionable real quick. Plus, Thomas Edison's first radio broadcast ever, which sounds suspiciously like every rookie DJ's first shift.

Also, science says we're genetically closer to cats than dogs, and Leslie's going to have opinions about that tomorrow.
