Eleven Pounds of Enlightenment

from Shift Happened

Leslie, Stitch, and Houston kick off the week with the kind of Monday energy you'd expect from people who talk for a living. They dig into whether Americans are losing the ability to have a real conversation, as word counts per day have dropped nearly thirty percent since 2005, and things might only get worse. A brave orangutan makes history by crossing a highway bridge to avoid her very weird family. And the guys stumble onto a story involving Buddhist monks, an international flight from Thailand, and two hundred and forty-two pounds of weed nobody apparently knew was in their bags.
