In this episode, I start with squirrels - specifically, the ones taking over my backyard - but, as usual, we end up somewhere else entirely. This is a story about small, ridiculous battles: against rodents, childhood rules, Costco temptations, and the ongoing attempt to keep life from unraveling. It’s about control, chaos, and what happens when things (inevitably) get chewed up along the way.

If you’ve ever found yourself deep in a fight you never meant to have—whether with pests, parents, or patio lights—this one’s for you.
