9ES293: Of Course It Was Always All Real

CM Punk is my favorite wrestler.

As a bit of a “smart” mark wrestling fan I became aware of him initially in his run with Ring of Honor. I vaguely remember some ROH stuff online in the mid-2000s but it was still pretty obscure and hard to follow along with. From what I saw I dug the character and his wrestling and was genuinely excited when he started popping up in WWE enough that I could actually follow along with.

Anyhow – it’s hard to be a fan of a guy who apparently choked a guy nearly half his age because the younger guy really wanted to do a stupid stunt. Stupid stunts are a part of wrestling and even if Old Man CM Punk thinks it’s a dumb idea it’s pretty shitty to get real-world violent because of it.

I think CM Punk maybe not wrestling anymore and retiring might be best – it will certainly make it easier to stay being a fan of him. I can be like “yeah he messed up at the end there a little, but maybe he’s got CTE” and just sort of remember the good times he brought me as a performer.

Meanwhile – while the wrestling world was buzzing about CM Punk getting fired, 70,000 people at Burning Man were getting bogged down in the mud and Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth died. Here’s something I found out while recording this episode: Steve Harwell retired from the band but the band still plays shows. There’s a new guy singing. His name is Zach Goode and let’s be real – he’s not as good as Steve Harwell. Seriously.

Over on Garbage Time we talk about Baldur’s Gate 3 because Jono decided to restart the entire game. Keith is also getting into the show Silo (based on the novel “Wool” if that helps) and Scott watched Season 2 of Good Omens so that is pretty nice. If that sounds cool then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

9ES256: No Impact

It’s probably for the best that we spend most of this episode talking about Spiderman and AEW Revolution because no matter how strong our opinions might be about the Russian invasion of Ukraine we are almost certainly among the worst people to listen to about this particular ongoing tragedy.

 

I have been doing mental gymnastics to not kind of go into a spiral about the impending possibility of World War 3. How could I possibly watch movies and wrestling and do escape rooms while we teeter on the edge of a global armed conflict?

 

Well, I try to tell myself that whether I watch Batman tonight or not my actions have nearly no impact on the situation. This isn’t like the pandemic where I maybe have people in my circle who may benefit from honest and open conversations about science. I don’t know anyone who needs convincing that this is a terrible, terrible thing that Russia is doing.

 

Of course you can (and should, if your means allow) donate to relief efforts. It can be hard to know where to donate, what charities are reputable and where your money is actually going. Charity Intelligence.ca has published a helpful list of some of the most reputable places to send your money along with guidelines about where these charities focus their efforts.

 

So yes, we do talk about Ukraine a little bit but then we spend the vast majority of the episode talking about Spiderman and the AEW Revolution Pay Per View. Jon has seen neither of those two things so his absence is barely noticeable.

 

Meanwhile, this week’s episode of Garbage Time is all about the worst comic book film adaptations ever made. We use ScreenCrush’s list as our reference. If that sounds fun, check it out over on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe tier.

9ES242: It’s On The Internet It Must Be True

by on August 26, 2021 at 8:00 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting
The Montreal podcast that knows your anger, and knows your dreams is back. It’s the podcast that has been everything you want to be.
That’s right, CM Punk is back in professional wrestling and that’s pretty cool for about two-thirds of us. We also talk about Scarlett Johansson going toe-to-toe with the House of Mouse and question Netflix’s business model. We also get into obesity. Like we get into it. We are all obese now. We live what we talk about.
Not really, but what we do dig into is some of the science (or lack of science) that seems to be tied to human weight gain in the last few years as we look a little at the research going on at Slime Mold Time Mold which I will admit is a weird name for a website.
Finally we wrap things up with a little bit of talk about The Masters of the Universe.
if you enjoy the show and want to support us do us and yourself a solid and subscribe to the “9ES Deluxe” tier over on our Patreon page. It will be the best decision you make in the next 15 minutes I promise you.

9ES241: Not The Same As Before

The Montreal geek podcast that opens up the show with hot takes about the music of 1994 is back in your ear holes with all three of us on the show! Spoilers: 1994 may have been one of the greatest years in music history I will fight you on this.  While it didn’t come out in 1994, The Color and The Shape by Foo Fighters is definitely one of the greatest albums of the last few decades and we get a little into the somewhat secret past of the song and how it relates to Veruca Salt.

We also talk about the fact that Apple is designing tech to look at all of your photos, the Fear Street trilogy streaming now on Netflix, The Army of the Dead (also on Netflix) and wrap things up with a little bit of AEW wrestling talk.

If you enjoyed the AEW talk, we talk about the 5 Labors of Jericho and Jon’s immense accomplishment in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup on this week’s Garbage Time, available Friday over on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe level subscription.

Enjoy the show!
