Show notes
Rick Hunter and the Squirrel Hour crew kick off a not-safe-for-work catch-up episode centred on Pride, welcoming a returning guest and reintroducing familiar voices while giving a land acknowledgement and quick shout-outs to listeners worldwide. The group swaps recent highs and lows—from community stressors and last-minute event logistics to travel plans, summer adventures, thrift finds, and goofy tech discoveries—while joking about aging, discounts, and the strange ways friendships and fandoms collide. They reflect on how quickly their community can rally, hint at future fundraising ideas, and tease upcoming breaks and busy seasons ahead. The episode wraps with supportive mental-health reminders, gratitude to friends and collaborators, and the usual rapid-fire sign-offs before they reset for the next segment.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open Chaos00:07 Welcome to Squirrel Hour01:01 Land Acknowledgement01:54 Meet the Panel07:02 Pride Parade Crunch Time09:59 Three Weeks of Highlights13:44 Parade Wins and Media Clips16:03 Kinksters Weekend Recap18:35 T-Bone Summer Update19:48 Sprinkles Returns Unfiltered22:54 Birthdays and Going Home27:44 Florida Trip Planning29:04 Trip Costs Breakdown31:12 Vacation Mindset No Stress32:01 Thrifting Wizard Souvenirs34:20 Expired Snacks Storytime35:51 Orbitz Drink Challenge37:52 Senior Discount Denny's Plans40:17 Liquor Store Hookups42:40 Ambulance Wait Times45:46 Temu Ginormacock Chaos48:08 Pride Snakes And Shoutouts51:05 UK Road Trip Dreams52:57 Mental Health Sign OffLinks:Links:9-8-8https://988.ca/Bc Crisis Centrehttps://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lineshttps://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesHIM Clinichttps://checkhimout.ca/Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashedhttps://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigzPup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language)De Puppy Podhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5aPatio Furniture Warehousehttps://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/CC's Portland PDXhttps://ccslaughterspdx.com/Feel Like Helping Support the show, Please help us buy a coffee or put some funds towards the software of the show, any donation would be greatly appreciated to keep the show going, just click on the link below:https://linktr.ee/paulvincentvan
