    Squirrels After Dark S04 E07 "Y'all Won't Believe These Texas-Sized Stories"

    Season 4, Episode 7 of Squirrels After Dark kicks off as an uncensored, all-guys “Sausage Fest” with Sharon Da Boy’z and the crew welcoming special guest Pup Zander from Texas. The group riffs on pop-culture blind spots, regional quirks between Canada and the U.S., and what Texas is really like—from food favorites to nightlife, travel distance, and the “everything’s bigger” vibe. Plans fly for future vacations and a possible return episode focused on cross-border differences, while the conversation veers into kink, gear, and other off-the-rails adult humor that earns the NSFW label. They wrap with mental health reminders, listener love, a secret word, and final shout-outs before promising more chaos next time.

    The Squirrel Hour S04 E07 "Firefighting Fantasies and Pancake Realities"

    Host Rick Hunter (AKA Spyder-Pup) opens episode seven of the explicit “Not Safe For Work” podcast with guest Pup Zander from Texas after resolving prior audio issues, alongside co-hosts and a land acknowledgement for the unceded territories of the Kwikwetlem First Nation and other Lower Mainland BC nations. The group reacts to a real-time emergency outside their complex where a vehicle crashed through a fence and ended up hanging off a wall, prompting multiple fire trucks and first responders; they note everyone is okay. The cast shares personal updates, including a union pay raise, a Thunder From Down Under outing, found ATM cash, and food talk about bannock, Irish nachos, and a secret tater-tot menu item. They interview Xander, a 19-year-old firefighter/EMT, got into pup play via TikTok three years ago, lives independently, and discusses training, workplace privacy, and coping with difficult calls. The episode ends with mental health reminders, first-responder appreciation, and a secret word choose by Zander” 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome 00:22 Guest Intro and Housekeeping 01:23 Land Acknowledgement 01:55 Meet the Co Hosts 04:15 Car Crash Outside 07:21 First Responder Talk 08:30 Florida and Texas Plans 12:38 Pub Stories and Money Wins 13:03 Thunder From Down Under 18:14 Food Talk and Taco ATM 22:32 Podcast Growth and Mental Health 24:03 Traffic Rant and No Cigarettes 26:12 All About Xander Begins 29:32 Becoming a Pup 31:05 First Hood Stories 31:52 Moving Out Milestone 33:11 Firefighter EMT Origin 34:53 Texas Talk Detour 36:47 Cars Bikes and Wipeouts 39:28 Hood Colors and Customs 43:23 Tactical Pup Energy 45:28 Work Privacy and Reality TV 47:55 Training and Tough Calls 51:06 Mental Health and Farewell 9-8-8 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bc Crisis Centre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HIM Clinic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language) De Puppy Pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠⁠⁠ Patio Furniture Warehouse ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/

    Squirrels After Dark S04 E06 "Nudes, Caffeine, and Krispy Kremes:”When Podcasts Go Uncut”

    The Squirrels After Dark Uncensored crew kicks off season 4 episode 6 with raunchy banter, cast roll call, and a farewell to Sprinkles for the next month. The host celebrates turning 45, recaps a birthday weekend (including an overheated hot tub), and gives a glowing plug for a Vancouver men’s spa and its “manzilian” grooming package. The conversation spirals through body preferences, public-versus-private confidence, party antics, donut-and-coffee “flavor science,” and a workplace joke about a cruising park “protein shake.” They preview upcoming guest schedules, discuss trying to include a deaf guest with ASL support, and end with a surprisingly heartfelt reminder about mental health—plus one last argument about time zones and daylight saving. 9-8-8 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bc Crisis Centre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HIM Clinic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language) De Puppy Pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠⁠ Patio Furniture Warehouse ⁠⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/

    The Squirrel Hour S04 E06 "Squirrel Hour Shenanigans: Tales That Definitely Won't Win Workplace Awards"

    Rick Hunter (Spyder-Pup) kicks off an explicit, not-safe-for-work Happy Hour episode of The Squirrel Hour with returning favorites Daddy H and Pup Frenchy, plus friends around the table, birthday vibes, and plenty of chaotic side-quests. The crew does quick intros, celebrates recent birthdays (and the resulting hangovers), and immediately proves there’s no real topic—just pure squirrel energy. Updates include job and site changes, biking to work, joining a social slow-pitch league, missed meetups, and plans for future parties and camping. The conversation ricochets through kink-shop nostalgia, travel talk, and wild “Strip Club Chronicles,” before landing on the biggest win: after years without one, Spider and his husband unexpectedly score a new family doctor. The episode wraps with a mental health reminder and a secret word for the Stinky Pups Family. 9-8-8 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bc Crisis Centre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HIM Clinic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language) De Puppy Pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠⁠ Patio Furniture Warehouse ⁠⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/

    The Squirrrel Hour BONUS EPISODE“Navigating The Stars: A Tribute to Star Trek Captains"

    In this bonus special in season four, host Rick Hunter and a full table of guests dive into their favorite Star Trek captains, with picks including Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, and a few more unexpected choices. They compare leadership styles—rule-breaking versus diplomacy, survival under pressure, and balancing duty with personal responsibility—while trading opinions on different series, standout moments, and how long some shows take to hit their stride. The conversation also touches on Star Trek’s cultural impact and representation, plus behind-the-scenes notes about characters and casting. The episode closes with a listener poll tease, thanks to the guests, and the show’s regular mental health message and crisis resources. 9-8-8 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bc Crisis Centre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HIM Clinic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language) De Puppy Pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠⁠ Patio Furniture Warehouse ⁠⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/

    Squirrels After Dark S04 E05. “The Cast+ Twigz: A Chaotic Symphony- Unfiltered and Fabulous"

    Sharon Da'Boyz and the crew welcome Pup Twigz from Orlando, who’s got more obsessions than a raccoon in a garbage bin. Twigz dreams of visiting Dubai. The team hilariously debates setting boundaries, deciphering email clues like they’re solving a mystery novel, and laughing at voicemails that sound like they were recorded by a squirrel on helium. They dive into Florida wildlife, planning trips to Florida, Grand Cayman, and a 2029 Atlantis gay cruise—because why not party like it’s the end of the world? Twigs spills the beans about his Halloween parties, where the costumes are scarier than the guests, and how he met his husband on Craigslist—because love is just a swipe away, even for squirrels. The episode wraps up with shout-outs, the Secret word for the Stinky Pups (spoiler: it’s not “nuts”), and a mental health reminder with 988, because even the wildest squirrels need a little sanity check. Make sure to tune in and find out what the cast was up to, and as always, expect the chaos that listeners have come to love and cherish from Sharon’s After Dark Episodes. It’s like a squirrel’s nest—full of surprises and a little bit of madness!  9-8-8 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://988.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bc Crisis Centre ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.crisiscentre.bc.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Links of Suicide Crisis Lines ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ HIM Clinic ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://checkhimout.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Twigz Podcast Unleashed ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@PupTwigz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Pup Teaguel and Pup Ello's Podcast ( Dutch Language) De Puppy Pod ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3222k2BvU234JMotVhCixx?si=d99333c902ef4a5a⁠⁠ Patio Furniture Warehouse ⁠⁠https://patiofurniturewarehouse.ca/
