Squirrel Talk

Our book of the club book was There is No Antimemetics Division by QNTM We talk about the synopsis of the book and talk about why we loved it! Spoilers ahead! Mike was quiet for a long time. No idea why.  We talk about the next book. The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley. Mike did pick the book.  Our Sponsor is 1up Electric. Love them! 

This week on Squirrel Talk , we're handing out the most prestigious awards nobody asked for. Chris and Mike each used AI to create completely ridiculous award shows, complete with nominees, dramatic upsets, and winners for categories so oddly specific they probably deserve their own acceptance speeches. From the best sandwich of all time to the most suspicious squirrel, it's an episode full of poi...

It is a shortiesod! We were tired and threw something together! 

Ever notice how some people have hobbies, but people with ADHD seem to collect entire identities? One week you're convinced you're going to become a master woodworker, the next you're buying running shoes, researching espresso machines, or starting a podcast. In this episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike dive into the wild world of ADHD hyperfixations. From expensive hobbies that lasted three w...

We talked about theme songs and then just got even more random than normal!  1up Electric is our sponsor that is amazing! www.1upelectric.com 417-207-2590

Hey! We go over last months book of the month! We reviewed A Parade of Horribles and we talked about what we read last month!  Check out 1up Electric our sponsor! 

This week on Squirrel Talk, we set sail into the wild world of cruise ship chaos—where luxury vacations meet absolute disaster. From viral outbreaks and massive storms to onboard brawls, power failures, and the kind of stories cruise lines definitely don't advertise, we break down what really happens when thousands of people are trapped together at sea with unlimited shrimp and questionable decisi...

We go over the books we read in April and our book of the Month read, Ready Player One

We just talked... Come along for the ride. 

Mike was the pied piper for kids at Missouri Comic Con and I met Matt Dinniman at a Colorado Avalanche Hockey game. It was awesome

This month's Squirrel Talk Book Club gets a little interstellar as we dive into the Bobiverse series . We brought Jon back on the mic, and things got exactly as nerdy and chaotic as you'd hope. From sentient AI clones to space exploration and existential humor, we break down what made this series such a blast—and yeah, we don't shy away from a few things that didn't quite hit for us either. We als...

On this episode of Squirrel Talk, we went completely off the rails in the best possible way—trying to figure out which movies would be absolutely ridiculous (or secretly amazing) if they were turned into full-blown musicals. From imagining The Dark Knight as a dramatic, brooding sing-along to picturing the high-speed chaos of Fast & Furious turned into a family-themed anthem fest, nothing was safe...

In this episode, Chris and Mike take a hilarious trip back to the 1980s and 1990s to revisit some of the most unforgettable PSAs and commercials from the era. From the overly dramatic anti-drug campaigns to the weirdly catchy jingles that are somehow still stuck in our heads decades later, nothing is safe. They break down the messages, the unintentionally funny acting, the low-budget effects, and...

This week, we dive into Operation Bounce House — and let's just say… it's not what we expected. We break down the wild premise, the uncomfortable parallels to real life, and why this story hits harder than your typical sci-fi adventure. From gamer culture and corporate overreach to moral responsibility and what happens when entertainment goes too far, this episode gets thoughtful, heated, and occa...

In this episode, we dive headfirst into all things school. From random classroom memories to the weird stuff we all experienced growing up, it's a chaotic stroll through the halls of nostalgia. No real structure, no lesson plan — just us bouncing around everything school-related and seeing where it takes us. If you've ever sat in a desk, ridden a bus, opened a locker, or survived a pop quiz, you'r...

In this episode of Squirrel Talk, we did what we do best — absolutely no planning and somehow still talked for an hour. From random life updates to completely unnecessary hot takes, side quests, and stories that may or may not have had a point, this one is pure, unfiltered Squirrel energy. There was no outline. There was no agenda. There was only vibes. If you enjoy unpredictable tangents, questio...

Mike is officially back. After last week's completely serious, totally reasonable tribute episode honoring his "possible" distal bicep rupture, Mike returns to Squirrel Talk… and we pretend he has absolutely no idea what happened. That's right. We act like the celebrity messages, fictional character tributes, Couch Ghost appearance, and borderline memorial energy never existed. Did Tom Hanks send...

Mike is out this week with a suspected distal bicep rupture, so instead of canceling the episode, Chris does the only reasonable thing… a completely serious tribute episode. What starts as a heartfelt "get well soon" quickly spirals into absolute chaos as messages pour in from celebrities, athletes, fictional characters, and some extremely questionable sources. From Tom Hanks and Barack Obama to G...

In this episode of Squirrel Talk , we slow things down just enough to talk about what's been keeping our brains busy lately. We dive into some of our favorite books we've read so far this year, what's currently on our reading lists, and what we've been listening to along the way. Of course, it wouldn't be Squirrel Talk without a little chaos, so we also get into some of the games we're playing rig...

They're back… and this time it's personal. In DaughterSode Part II: The Daughtering , we hand the mics back to the daughters and dive headfirst into Demon Slayer —why it's incredible, why you should absolutely be watching it, and why you probably shouldn't listen if you're even thinking about avoiding spoilers. Seriously… we spoiled the crap out of it. From favorite characters and emotional moment...

What happens when you drop regular people (that's us) into some of the most dangerous fictional worlds ever created? In this episode of Squirrel Talk , we throw ourselves headfirst into popular fiction universes as we are right now —no training montages, no chosen-one energy—just vibes, questionable decisions, and one tool, ability, or power to survive. From fantasy realms to sci-fi nightmares, we...

Why is everything so hard? Today on  Squirrel Talk , we treat real life like a video game—complete with boss fights, cheap attacks, and zero extra lives. From everyday errands to situations we are absolutely not prepared for, we break down what keeps beating us… and why we keep hitting "continue." Plus: loading screen tips that feel way too accurate. This episode is brought to you by 1UP Electric....

Christmas is here, and Squirrel Talk has officially entered Dadmas mode. In this episode, Chris and Mike put their holiday knowledge—and sanity—to the test with a trio of Christmas games designed to expose fake fans, bad memories, and questionable opinions. We badly describe classic Christmas movies (and somehow argue about them), try to identify Christmas songs from the most unhelpful description...

Christmas movies are sacred… which is exactly why we put them on trial. 🎄 In this episode of Squirrel Talk , we take 32 of the most iconic, controversial, and beloved Christmas movies and throw them into a single-elimination bracket . No re-seeding. No mercy. One winner. From untouchable holiday classics to action movies that insist they count as Christmas films, every matchup sparks tough calls,...
