About

Curiosity, weaponised.

Garry Ozols hosts Look! Squirrel! the way most people scroll: too fast, too interested, no apologies. One week it’s the economics of home batteries. The next it’s why a 2024 Suzuki Spacia Custom is sitting in his driveway after a six-month fight with Japanese auction houses and Australian compliance plates.

There’s no format. There’s no lane. If something is interesting enough to make Garry stop mid-sentence and say “wait, actually—”, it becomes an episode. That’s the whole editorial process.

This isn’t a show that pretends to have a short attention span. It has a selective one. It just happens to be very good at spotting the thing worth chasing — and terrible at pretending not to be excited about it.
