9ES255: What Is It Good For?

by jorn on February 24, 2022 at 2:45 pm

Montreal’s favorite geek and pop culture podcast featuring 3 white dudes returns with so much trucker talk this episode should have been recorded on CB radio.

Thankfully the trucker thing seems to be mostly petering out, although I do wonder if we will ever find out just how much of the whole fiasco was orchestrated and funded by our freedom fighting neighbours to the South.

Speaking of fighting for freedom (yooooooo-Joe!), we give you our patented half-informed take on the sparks that might one day be referred to as “The Start of World War 3” as Russia actively invades Ukraine. If you’re wondering why you’re a little “off” these days it might be that we are fully 2 years into a global pandemic AND on the eve of a major armed conflict at the same time.

Just a guess.

We’ve all watched Cowboy Bebop on Netflix now so this is probably the last episode you’ll have to hear us talk about the travesty of its cancellation. If a few thousand more people sign the (probably pointless) petition to save the show over on Change.Org it will be one of the most signed petitions ever.

Petitions!

Scott likes Vox Machina a lot more than Keith does, I guess Jon will be the tie-breaker. Meanwhile, Boba Fett is over and Robert Rodriguez should have been allowed to have more fun. Speeder Vespas forever.

We also get to find out Jon’s final ranking in the Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup v.028 Tournament and he excitedly tells the tale of something involving ziggurats and orbs. .

This week’s episode of Garbage Time is all about Superbowl commercials. We don’t run through all of them don’t worry, instead we go over all the movie and television commercials that aired during “the big game” so that’s kind of fun. Check it out over on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe tier.

9ES254: Afraid Of Montreal

by jorn on February 10, 2022 at 6:58 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal based geek and pop culture podcast that loves driving trucks and playing women’s hockey is back with episode 254. Oh hey, the Olympics are happening.

(For the record, we do neither of those two things).

If I could go on a tangent for a moment here (and despite Jon posting, this is Keith writing) I would like to re-iterate how much fun I have recording these dumb podcasts.

Work has been especially trying for me these last few weeks, so trying in fact that even though it has been less than 48 hours since we recorded this episode, I am struggling to remember what we really talked about. Work has just been draining me of a lot of energy but I remember having a pretty great time recording this thing with Jon and Scott.

Good thing we take notes, eh?

Jon is actively participating in the current Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup v.028 Tournament so you know we got that good-good DCSS content that you crave.

So Jon is playing DCSS which launched in 2006 but is still actively updated even though it looks like it is from the 90s, Keith is playing Return of the Obra Dinn which is a video game from 2018 that looks like it was made in the 80s and Scott is playing Secret of Mana which is actually from 1993.

Video games are cool.

We are from Montreal so we talk about hockey in the form of the Canadian Women’s Olympic team and the NHL Skills Competition and we probably talk more about the dumb trucker convoy than we should.

This week’s episode of Garbage Time is all about sci-fi television, with Scott finally finishing off Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop series and Keith finishing Season 1 of Raised by Wolves. Check it out over on our Patreon page at the 9ES Deluxe tier.
