  • Let Pets Be Dependents
    Dec 16 2025

    Houston’s still out, so Stitch and Leslie run the show like two kids who found the car keys… and immediately start collecting “Tell Houston he sucks” messages in the wild. Then we hit peak holiday chaos with Santa at Main Street Square, the real rules of surviving last-minute shopping, and the spicy question: is a charity donation in your name a sweet gift, or a “cool… I guess” moment?


    Plus, the dream of a white Christmas takes a hit, Home Alone turns 35 with some weird behind-the-scenes goodies, and we end on a bold idea that I fully support: let us claim pets as dependents for tax season.

  • Socks Are Tiny Horror Movies
    Dec 16 2025

    Houston’s out, so Leslie and Stitch are driving the ship… and it gets weird in the best way.


    First up, Leslie’s out playing Santa in a snowy Rapid City, only to realize three clients are closed on Fridays. So she’s basically doing holiday charity laps in the snow with a trunk full of “please like us” gifts.


    Then it takes a hard left into “is this a crime or a cry for help” territory, with a DoorDash driver allegedly spraying someone’s Arby’s and sending a wife into a breathing panic. Yeah… that happened.


    And if you’ve ever reworn socks and told yourself it’s fine, congratulations, this episode also ruins that for you with the “microscopic rainforest” visual you’ll never unhear. Merry Christmas.

  • No Houston, No Rules
    Dec 16 2025

    Houston bailed again, so Leslie and Stitch take the wheel… and immediately turn The Second Shift into a holiday chaos variety show.


    There’s a full investigation into how Walgreens printed Christmas cards at an hour when normal humans are asleep, a debate over the perfect travel companion that somehow ends with “bring a Snickers,” and a TikTok dessert trend that sounds like a prank until you hear who’s already tried it. Then the show swerves into stadium food rankings, the most popular day to break up, and a surprisingly sweet reminder to hug your people a little tighter.
