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, questionable logic, and the kind of conversations that start one place and end somewhere no one saw coming — this episode is for you.

We promise we had fun. We think you will too.

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 a heartfelt message?
Did Alien hiss in solidarity?
Did someone ask where to send flowers?

We're not saying.

In this follow-up episode, Mike gives his side of the injury, we discuss what actually happened, and we slowly unravel whether he truly didn't know about the tribute episode… or if he's been plotting revenge the entire time.

Closure? Maybe.
Accountability? Unlikely.
Future retaliation? Almost guaranteed.

1Up Electric — powering Southwest Missouri one job at a time.

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 Ghostbusters, Dungeon Crawler Carl, Alien, Predator, and even Couch Ghost, everyone has something to say about Mike's injury. Some are encouraging. Some are judgmental. Some clearly think Mike has passed on.

The episode escalates into a full fake memorial before ending with an unapproved message from Mike himself asking Chris to please stop making it weird.

It's heartfelt. It's ridiculous. It's exactly why Mike can never miss a week again.
