In this raw and personal episode, Darwin and Cat dive deep into the music that saved their weird little lives—from Cat’s punk rock awakening to Darwin’s lifelong love of Sinatra and space-age bachelor pad sounds. It's a heartfelt audio memoir of lifelines, obsessions, and WTF moments (including one unhinged mom and some extreme Shaun Cassidy confusion). Because for some of us, music isn’t just a soundtrack—it’s survival. If you’ve ever been a punk weirdo, a vinyl nerd, or just someone who needed a song to make it through the day—this one’s for you.

This week, Darwin and Cat switch gears with a personal update that’s equal parts awkward, heartfelt, and hilarious. Cat recounts the bizarrely polite story of losing something dear—and what, exactly, she stuffed in her bra on the way out—while Darwin drops a bombshell about his next big life and career move. This episode is packed with unexpected turns, nostalgic callbacks, a celebrity medical horror story, and a sneak peek at where the show is headed next season. Hint—it’s sailing straight into more comedy and chaos, with no life raft in sight.

In this episode, Darwin and Cat mourn the slow, cringeworthy death of commercial radio—once a cultural cornerstone, now a relic of corporate bloat, fake “local” flavor, and DJs with more ego than insight. With their signature comedy and real-life stories (including Cat driving into a Mexican parade and Darwin’s traumatizing encounter with Aqua-Net), they peel back the curtain on how the industry sold its soul. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Darwin and Cat share bold ideas for what radio could be, if anyone had the guts to try something new. This episode is for anyone who’s ever yelled at their car stereo and thought, ‘Holy hell – radio blows!’
