Just Add Water (and Regret): Real Products You Can’t Unsee
Squirrel Talk
In this episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike go head-to-head in a global guessing game of absurdity. From mysterious inventions to downright bizarre products from around the world, the guys take turns reading cryptic descriptions and trying to figure out what in the world the other is talking about. Is it wearable? Is it edible? Is it something no one should have ever invented? Probably yes to all of the above. Play along as we try to outguess, out-weird, and out-laugh each other in this international tour of ridiculousness. Sponsored by 1Up Electric Before you plug in whatever strange...

The Emu War Was Real and So Is Our Trip to Hogwarts
Squirrel Talk
In this definitely human-written, not even remotely AI-generated episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike bring you some deeply educational content—like why the Catholic Church once put a corpse on trial (spoiler: the corpse lost), how a whale explosion rained down calamity on Oregon, and why Australia had to surrender to a bunch of angry emus. It’s the kind of hard-hitting, factual journalism your high school textbooks were too afraid to cover. Then—because historical trauma just isn’t relaxing enough—we pivot like pros into Fictional Vacations. Ever wanted to sip blue milk on...

Once Upon a time... w/ Jim Bultas
Squirrel Talk
This week on Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike are joined by a very special guest—Jim Bultas! Jim’s been friends with Mike for over 20 years, and together they’ve done it all: made short films, played in bands, and now? They’re jumping into fantasy storytelling chaos. We kick things off with several epic first and last sentences from imaginary books—but there’s a catch: we don’t know what happens in between. So what do we do? We make it up, of course. Sword-wielding orphans, talking daggers, moody storms, and cursed forests—nothing is safe from our ridiculous imagination. From plot...

Live from the Café and the Cosmos
Squirrel Talk
In this surreal and unexpectedly heartfelt episode of Squirrel Talk, the usual banter between Chris and Mike takes a turn for the cosmic as they’re joined by two remote guests—Karnex and Luna—calling in from entirely different dimensions of thought. One claims to be drifting through the silence of deep space, the other nestled in a Seattle café with rain tapping on the glass. What starts as a casual exchange quickly evolves into a hypnotic interplay of wit, existential musing, and low-key rivalry. The guests don’t just speak—they resonate, swapping stories about grief, chaos, and...

Holy Smokes or Holy Spirit?
Squirrel Talk
In this absolutely elevated episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike dive into one burning question: Is it a weed dispensary… or a church?

Expect lots of laughter, ridiculous debates, and a few revelations (divine or otherwise). We also test each other with our new favorite game: High or Holy?—where you guess whether a quote came from a sermon or a stoner. If you've ever thought your youth pastor and your weed guy sound suspiciously similar… this...

You’ve Never Heard of These? Seriously?
Squirrel Talk
This week on Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike dives deep into the shadowy corners of folklore with a chilling list of lesser-known cryptids that are definitely real, widely reported, and somehow completely unfamiliar to you all. From the eerily motionless Stillroot to the reflection-bound entity known as The Mirrored, these are the creatures whispered about in online forums, old newspaper clippings, and maybe even your grandma’s bedtime warnings. Try to keep up (and maintain his grip on reality), as we play the role of totally-confident cryptid connoisseur, expertly blurring the lines...

The Darwin Awards Episode – Natural Selection at Its Nuttiest
Squirrel Talk

We go back and forth describing some of the most legendary award-winners, from rocket-powered cars and vending machine revenge to DIY aviation and cobra kisses. But there’s a twist—each story is told just vague enough for the other person to guess what went wrong. Spoiler: it’s usually everything. Laugh, cringe, and maybe rethink that sketchy home project while we celebrate the...
