Squirrel Stroganoff

·1 hr 53 min·5 clips

My neighbor told me he's breastfeeding a squirrel and might make squirrel stroganoff for his next meal.

The episode opens with the show's familiar salty energy. Tony and Brian compare the comfort of cooking on one particular burner, where hot dogs start smoking and immediately become a quick fire joke. The cooking talk then takes a hard turn into heroin clarification, with neither voice pretending to have gone to drug school. That uncertainty becomes part of the bit. Craft heroin is briefly treated like a possible local industry, with poppies and chemicals tossed around as mock ingredients. A Reddit post sends the conversation somewhere stranger. Someone rates a park bench ten out of ten, only for the view to reveal the back of balls. That image inspires a dumb website idea, presented with enough fondness to sound almost viable and enough hesitation to stay safely theoretical. The conversation keeps moving through agreement, interruption, and improvised escalation. The episode also folds in a loose desire for contentment, with the closing pitch asking listeners to give the show a try if that feeling sounds appealing. Then squirrel stroganoff appears as the final imagined offering. A dude with little plastic Costco cups makes refusal awkward. The voices remain wisely undecided about whether anyone should test the dish.
