Red in the Head
Houston and Stitch are back in their old second shift studio with brand new mics. Stitch decides it’s a good time to hold a memorial for two co-workers who are very much alive. He also admits to something involving DoorDash and the Jersey Mike’s across the street, and Houston is not letting it go. Plus a look at the brand new cities being built from scratch, a shower survey on what people wash first, and a National Redhead Day fact that ends the show right there. Hosted on Acast.

Fridge Cigarettes
Election hangover hits the Second Shift. Houston swaps in blue songs, Stitch celebrates the school bond, and the 401(k) gets checked more than once. Stitch pitches Coca-Cola a retro ad that turns Diet Coke into a “fridge cigarette,” complete with a perm and an ashtray. Then an online poll asks if you’d eat from a bowl someone threw up in after it’s been washed, and the follow-up question gets much worse. Also in this episode: a million-dollar doorstop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rabbit Hash Politics
Houston was up at 3:30 a.m. to watch a real surgery, and he walked out of the operating room with one sound he’ll never forget. Then it’s Election Day, so Houston and Stitch dig into why we vote on a Tuesday, meet a Canadian city councilor who ran on being unqualified, and visit Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, where the mayor is a French bulldog named Wilbur. Plus, Stitch explains why no study on earth will talk him into a cold shower. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Heidi’s Helping Hand
Stitch welcomes Amelie to the studio, fresh off a Halloween week in LA, and the two dig into the weekend’s wildest celebrity costumes, led by Heidi Klum showing up to her own party as a giant severed hand built from a 3D scan of her real one. They also unpack why we might be changing our clocks again before November’s over. Then Stitch reveals he’s been tapped to judge a cheesecake sa Hosted on Acast.

Bone Drill Nightmares
Houston spent his morning inside an operating room for Doc Talk, feet away from a bunion surgery, and he’s got a full report on the one sound that’s going to follow him into his dreams. Stitch wants to know why we vote on Tuesdays, which leads to a tiny Kentucky town with 254 people and a French bulldog named Wilbur running the show. Then the guys discover the Butterball Buddy, a turkey-shaped gadget that hands out Thanksgiving chores, and start brainstorming a name for the studio version. Hosted on Acast.

Houdini Never Called
Stitch opens the show with the story of the day a fifth grader in Jacksonville walked face first into a school flagpole, and Houston has some follow-up questions about how that nose turned out. Amy joins the guys for the Friday before Halloween, where Houston digs up a paint color from the 1800s with a seriously creepy secret ingredient. Then he reveals who you can thank for this weekend’s time change, and it’s sweeter than you’d think. Somewhere in there, the candy corn debate gets heated. Hosted on Acast.

Fear Triggers Something Else
Houston comes home from his root canal with a full report on endodontics and immediately makes a twenty dollar bet with Stitch over the next four games of Vikings football. The guys go down a rabbit hole on an old wives tale that uses onion skins to predict how rough the coming winter will be. Then right around six o’clock, a certified sex therapist’s theory on horror movies and your libido gets the floor, with Stitch admitting the whole premise stresses him out. Hosted on Acast.

The Two Wife Theory
Stitch and Zacky Moon spend the shift untangling a pastor out of Cleveland who introduced his second wife to the whole congregation during Sunday service, sparking a long argument about whose needs are actually getting met. Cheerios finally gives cereal bags a proper reseal, triggering a debate over whether that counts as innovation or basic decency. Toss in a countdown to the Creepy Crawl, a Count Chocula hunt, and a case for crowning Reese’s the real national chocolate, and the shift turns into total chaos. Hosted on Acast.
