The Metabolically Efficient Boys of Comedy™ celebrate International Sloth Day!

A couple of years ago Shane spent a couple of months in a slothfully time obsessing over sloths instead of doing actual work.  This week the boys sit around and discuss sloth mysteries to prepare you for all of your International Sloth Day (Oct 20) gatherings and festivities.

How have sloths been able to survive for millions of years in a seemingly cutthroat world?  Not only have they been able to hang in there, but they have thrived many times in Earth's history.  Sloths have even evolved multiple times independent of one another!  Sloths' unique evolutionary niches only get more weird and interesting the more we dig into them.  There is even a big sloth mystery that continues to elude scientists today.

Listen in to try to solve it yourself.  Be warned, The MEBC™ may find yourself contemplating sloths for many International Sloth Days to come.
