How many disasters can befall a vacation before it implodes? Chad answers that question with the story of his ill-fated trip to Costa Rica. Then, he interviews Leslie Howle, Costa Rica’s legendary “sloth whisperer.”

Leslie tells us how she went from being a child in Washington DC to a woman in Costa Rica taking in hundreds of injured and orphaned exotic animals.

It’s a fascinating story about a woman who wants to save a parrot from being sacrificed for a wedding… about a mental institution that wants to hold a team-building course… and about a baby sloth who just wants a shirt that smells right.
