Once Upon a time... w/ Jim Bultas

This week on Squirrel Talk, Chris and Mike are joined by a very special guest—Jim Bultas! Jim’s been friends with Mike for over 20 years, and together they’ve done it all: made short films, played in bands, and now? They’re jumping into fantasy storytelling chaos.

We kick things off with several epic first and last sentences from imaginary books—but there’s a catch: we don’t know what happens in between. So what do we do? We make it up, of course. Sword-wielding orphans, talking daggers, moody storms, and cursed forests—nothing is safe from our ridiculous imagination.

From plot holes you could drive a dragon through to characters that may or may not have been based on Jim’s high school band days, this episode is equal parts creative writing, improv comedy, and nostalgic chaos.

📖✨ Come for the stories, stay for the squirrel-brained tangents.
