Peace Sign Problems

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."

The Good Anxiety

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sorry Dogs, Cats Won

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Parallel Play With My Wife

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.

What Would Oedipus Do

The Backdoor to Your Heart

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...

J*zz Wailers

It's May the Fourth, and the crew went full Star Wars nerd mode. Did you know the cantina song has an official genre name, and it's just the word "jazz" with a letter swapped out? Stitch still hasn't seen all three original movies, and the guys could not let that go.Cameron Diaz had her third kid at 53, and that somehow turned into a whole conversation about whether having children that late is impressive or a little unfair to the kids.

Not Cosmically Aligned

Houston, Leslie, and Stitch kick off the weekend by diving into the surprisingly deep history of the Kentucky Derby, including the part nobody talks about, which is the Black jockeys who dominated the race until they were forced out. From there it's vanity plates, specifically the two states where you can legally drive around with "ASSMAN" on your car. Plus, a new study of 20 million people says zodiac signs mean absolutely nothing, which Leslie took like a true Capricorn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Goblin Mode

ChatGPT has a goblin problem, and Houston made it explain itself. The AI's actual response might be the most unhinged thing we've ever aired. Then we went full science mode with quantum entanglement and the theoretical possibility of sending a message back to your past self, which of course led to Powerball numbers and Back to the Future. And somewhere in the mix, two guys kept five balloons in the air for sixteen minutes and apparently that's a Guinness World Record now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wax On, Wax Off

Wednesday's show kicked off with Leslie smuggling in wax candy from TikTok Shop, and somehow the whole crew spent an entire hour eating them, spitting them out, and debating whether wax tastes like butter. From there, things got unexpectedly educational when the crew dove into the four competing origin theories behind the phrase "86" and how it made its way from soda fountains to mob movies. And because no Wednesday is complete without a deeply important debate, the gang went head-to-head over which direction you're supposed to face in the shower and what that might say about your brain.
