In this feast-filled episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike dive headfirst into the most controversial Thanksgiving ranking of all time. From the sacred staples to the questionable casseroles, the guys break down every major Thanksgiving dish and sort them into the official S–E tier list.

Nothing is safe — not the turkey, not the cranberry sauce, not even the green bean casserole. S-tier legends are crowned, culinary villains are exposed, and lifelong friendships may or may not be tested over the placement of macaroni and cheese.

Expect chaos, laughs, strong opinions, and the kind of heated debates usually reserved for family gatherings after too much pumpkin pie.

Whether you're team ham, team rolls, or team "don't touch me with that Jell-O salad," this episode is the perfect warm-up for Thanksgiving week.

This episode is brought to you by 1Up Electric, keeping your holidays lit — in the good way.

Look, Thanksgiving is stressful enough. You've got 12 crockpots going, someone's frying a turkey outside, and the Cowboys game is about to start. The one thing you don't want is the power going out right when the rolls finally get golden brown.

That's why you call 1Up Electric. They're local, fast, and reliable, making sure your home can handle every casserole, every light strand, and every hungry relative who plugs in their phone like they're charging a Tesla.

So don't wait until your breaker trips during dessert. Call 1Up Electric at 417-207-2590 or visit 1upelectric.com.

In this episode of Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike dive headfirst into the bizarre world of completely made-up, absolutely ridiculous, zero-chance-of-being-taken-seriously fake cults. What starts as a simple idea turns into a full-blown spiral of nonsense as both hosts unveil their increasingly unhinged creations—from over-enthusiastic woodland worshippers to organizations with rules so weird even the founders would get kicked out.

Chris presents his own gloriously absurd cult concept, while Mike comes armed with multiple fake cults of his own, each more chaotic and questionably structured than the last. Together they break down rituals, uniforms, commandments, sacred texts, ranking systems, initiation rites, and recruitment pitches in a way that only Squirrel Talk can: with maximum energy, minimal sanity, and zero theological accuracy.

It's an episode where the only commandments are "Don't be normal" and "Wiggle your imaginary tail proudly."

Whether you're here to laugh, to judge, or to reconsider your life choices, this one delivers.
