9ES357: Goonsy

by jorn on March 1, 2026 at 10:28 pm

We talked about this a lot last episode: Scott and Keith really like the Winter Olympics. Jono? He didn’t even wake up to watch the Men’s Hockey Gold Medal game against the USA. I guess not only is he not a fan of sports he also hates his country.

I’m not even sure Jon is Canadian at all – how much do we really know about this man we’ve recorded 357 podcasts with really?

Anyways, the Canadian Men and Women’s Hockey teams failed us and lost to Team USA in overtime in both games. That sucked. Then Kash Patel was somehow let into Team USA Men’s locker room after the game and that sucked even more.

We go over our favorite moments of this edition of the Winter Olympics that are mostly just the best memes honestly.

Also – if you read the blog post for episode 356 you’ll remember that I was hyped about Ski Mountaineering. Well it didn’t disappoint.

We wrap things up with finally getting Sinners onto “The List” and for some reason Scott made himself watch “Kraven the Hunter” while Jono made the much more reasonable decision to watch “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”.

Anyways, we spend this episode of Garbage Time we talk about all 6 episodes of “Heated Rivalry” which naturally leads us into trying to figure out how to put “Shoresy” and “Heated Rivalry” into a shared universe. Scott’s kid is playing Hollow Knight, Brady Tkachuk looks like Sloth from “The Goonies” and Scott gives some updates about voice work on the X-Men Audio Drama.

9ES356: Ice Level Angle

Scott and Keith really like the Winter Olympics. Jono? I guess he’s probably meh on them and sports in general.

Maybe that’s why Jon has maybe like 5 minutes of talk time in an episode that is almost entirely devoted to the main sporting events of the last week (being of course the SuperBowl, the Winter Olympics and Kid Rock popping up out of a stage like a muppet in a fur coat only to lip synch his way through “Bawitaba”).

The Winter Olympics have always been more compelling to me than the Summer edition. Is it because we have snow and ice in Canada and that’s the main ingredient of basically every sport at the Winter Olympics? Maybe. But also it’s because the sports themselves are just so much more hard core.

Take a look at the winter biathlon. It’s a cross country ski race where you have to randomly stop and shoot targets with a rifle. Why did they randomly inject shooting a gun into a race?

Let’s take a look at the debuting sports in the last Summer and Winter Olympics, shall we? Paris 2024 decided to show the world “breakdancing”. Neat. Making its debut in Italy this week? “Ski Mountaineering” That’s right, a sport about skiing and climbing uphill before racing back down it. See what I’m saying? HARDCORE.

Also, Keith mistakenly stated that there were no new cards coming out in Hearthstone and boy was he wrong. Cards apparently rotate out of the game after 2 years and new packs of 100+ cards rotate in 3 times a year. There are about 1500 cards at any given point in “Standard” format and the 4500 other cards that have rotated out are all still available to play in “Wild” format.

Wowowow.

Anyways, we spend this episode of Garbage Time talking about the films of Christopher Guest, The Rip on Netflix and Keith’s first thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077. Scott also marathoned all of Delicious in Dungeon. I know Scott says the trailer doesn’t do the show justice, but I just watched it and it seems to be exactly what he described. And I’m still not interested in watching it at all. Scott also watched Sinners but we’ll hold off on ranking it until we talk about it in the main episode. Hopefully we remember in 2 weeks.
