What are you actually afraid of? Spiders? Needles? Heights? Or something completely ridiculous, like peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth? This week on Squirrel Talk, Chris and Jon dive into the weird, wonderful, and sometimes downright confusing world of phobias.

We test each other on bizarre real phobias, try to figure out what some absolutely ridiculous-sounding words mean, and attempt to separate legitimate fears from ones we may have completely made up. Along the way, we discover that there are some VERY specific things people are apparently terrified of.

And because Mike is STILL off in Japan, Chris and Jon take a shot at figuring out what the hell Mike is actually doing over there. Are their guesses reasonable? Absolutely not. Are they probably more entertaining than the truth? Almost certainly.

It's another episode of Squirrel Talk where we learn something, question our sanity, and somehow end up wondering whether ducks are watching us.

You know what's scarier than spiders? Needles? Clowns?

Don't be that guy.

When you need electrical work done right, call 1Up Electric. Whether it's a new outlet, lighting, electrical repairs, or a bigger project, let the professionals handle the stuff that can literally shock you.

Because unlike some of the phobias we talked about today, getting electrocuted is a legitimate reason to be concerned.

1Up Electric — because some things are better left to the professionals.

This week on Squirrel Talk, Mike is still off exploring Japan, so Jon steps in once again to help Chris tackle one of the most relatable topics ever: What Grinds My Gears. From people who don't use turn signals and loud speakerphone conversations in public to shopping carts left in parking spaces and those dreaded "Reply All" emails, Chris and Jon rate each annoyance, share stories, and debate whether these everyday frustrations are justified or if people just need to lighten up. You'll probably find yourself agreeing, disagreeing, and yelling at your speakers as they decide what truly deserves to grind someone's gears.

You know what really grinds our gears? Electrical problems that show up at the worst possible time. A breaker that won't stop tripping, lights that flicker for no reason, or outlets that mysteriously quit working. Luckily, there's one thing that doesn't grind our gears... calling 1Up Electric.

Whether it's a small repair, a panel upgrade, or wiring for your next big project, the team at 1Up Electric shows up on time, does the job right, and treats your home like it's their own. No surprises. No headaches. Just honest, professional electrical work.

So if your house is giving you more frustration than your coworker hitting "Reply All," give 1Up Electric a call. They'll take one thing off your list of things that grind your gears.

This week on Squirrel Talk, Mike is off exploring Japan, so our buddy Jon jumps into the co-host chair. We each brought a list of things that sound completely made up... but are 100% true. From a town nearly wiped out by a wave of molasses, to the military losing nuclear bombs, to Napoleon being chased by rabbits, and the mind-bending timeline that proves Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than the building of the pyramids—we spend the episode trying to figure out how reality keeps outdoing fiction. It's a rabbit hole-filled episode packed with bizarre history, unbelievable science, and stories that will make you question everything you thought you knew.

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.

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 weeks to lifelong passions that somehow stuck around, they're sharing stories, laughs, and probably exposing themselves a little too much along the way. If you've ever spent hours researching a hobby before spending hundreds of dollars on equipment you barely used, this episode is for you.

Join us as we explore the hobby graveyard, celebrate the wins, and discover why ADHD brains are always chasing the next exciting adventure.

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 decisions. Buckle up… this one gets weird fast.

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
