Shift Happened

Today’s Second Shift episode is basically three mini movies… First, Stitch is out doing his mysterious other job, hauling charcuterie boards like Santa’s deli assistant, and somehow it turns into a full-on debate about the ethics of “accidentally” claiming one for the studio. Then we hit peak holiday reality with regifting, travel chaos, and the uncomfortable truth that a lot of people are absolut...

The wind tries to steal the show, turning everyday driving into a white knuckle adventure and making everyone question their life choices.

And because it wouldn’t be The Second Shift withou...

Plus, the d...

On this episode of Shift Happened, the crew tackles a wild hypothetical: if you could erase one crime from the world, which one would you commit first to make it disappear forever?
