Pet Sounds

This week on Pop Culture Garbage Barge, Darwin and Cat unleash an episode all about pets -- the lovable, chaotic, expensive little freaks who somehow became the center of our lives.From the days of backyard dogs, roaming neighborhood cats, and suspiciously short lifespans, to modern pet culture complete with birthday parties, emotional support animals, and pet luxuries nobody saw coming, the duo explores how animals went from household extras to full-fledged family members.Along the way: Cat shares a childhood pet story involving numbers that escalated horrifically, Darwin revisits a long family history of deeply questionable dogs, and both reflect on the pets they loved, lost, and still talk about to this day.Funny, heartfelt, and gloriously unhinged -- this episode has teeth.Welcome aboard the Garbage Barge.
