Description

A random Instagram map leads Todd and Eric down a rabbit hole (or pouch?) into the wild world of exotic pet ownership. From kangaroo permits in Ohio to the social acceptability of naming chickens after Power Rangers, the conversation hops between legality, utility, and the sheer absurdity of what people call pets.

  • Which U.S. states let you own a kangaroo (and why West Virginia is surprisingly on the list).

  • Florida Man without a kangaroo? The shocking legality map twist.

  • The difference between livestock, pets, and working animals.

  • Naming chickens, befriending cows, and the slippery slope to bacon named Kevin.

  • Why owning a tarantula guarantees you’re “not normal.”

  • The exotic animal line: goats and reptiles are fine… chimpanzees and bears, not so much.

  • Todd’s faux kangaroo—Rowdie Roo—and the final word on whether he’s dinner.

From maps to marsupials, this episode proves that no scroll through Instagram is safe from turning into a full-blown debate on what counts as a pet, what’s just plain weird, and why sometimes the strangest conversations are the most fun.
