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.

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 right now and why they've got us hooked. We're also looking ahead to February, when we'll be reading Operation Bounce House, so grab a copy and read along with us.

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 moments to why this anime hits so hard, the daughters take full control of the conversation and don't hold back. It's chaotic, opinionated, and surprisingly insightful—basically everything a Squirrel Talk episode should be.

And yes… the daughters also took over the 1Up Electric ad copy, which somehow made it both more professional andmore unhinged at the same time.

You've been warned.
