Cop Car Coffee

Season 5 Episode 12

Greetings, fellow auditory adventurers, and welcome back to the podcast that boldly goes nowhere you particularly asked it to. First off, on behalf of the entire (one-person) production team, Duff and DDT extend our sincerest apologies for once again occupying a solid hour and a half of your precious existence. We know you could have been folding laundry, learning a new language, polishing your floors like Dean or finally figuring out how to properly load the dishwasher. Instead, you're here. With us. So, let's make the most of this shared temporal anomaly, shall we?
This week, we bravely navigated the treacherous waters of the Canadian federal election, dissecting the platforms with the precision of a toddler wielding a butter knife. We may not have provided any actual clarity, but we certainly offered some opinions, loosely based on things we vaguely remember reading. Prepare for nuanced political analysis that peaks with the phrase, "Well, someone's got to win."
Seeking refuge from the harsh realities of democracy, we then dive headfirst into the shimmering oasis of streaming recommendations. From gritty Nordic noir that will make you question all your life choices to lighthearted sitcoms that will temporarily make you forget them, we've curated a viewing list as eclectic and potentially disappointing as your last online shopping spree...or did we get to that today? Consider it your sonic tasting menu for the visual buffet.
For those of you who inexplicably care about bouncing balls and squeaky sneakers, we offered a brief, possibly inaccurate, recap of March Madness. Duff's CCC entry into the pools is still in the hunt.  We'll pretend we know the teams and players, and you can pretend you're impressed. The key takeaway? This is the only basketball worth watching.
In more practical news, we bravely ventured into the hallowed aisles of bulk-buying paradise to bring you a crucial Costco savings update. Prepare for thrilling revelations about discounted mayonnaise and the eternal dilemma of whether or not you really need a 50-pound bag of frozen peas. Our financial forecasting is slightly less reliable than a weather report from Winston (DDTs dog)
Speaking of finances, we dipped our toes into the exhilarating, often terrifying, world of stocks. Our investment advice should be taken with a grain of salt the size of a small car. Remember, buy low, sell high, and maybe consult an actual professional before betting your rent money on that artisanal pickle company...or anything on any market this week.
For our local listeners, we lamented the ongoing saga of the NHL Ottawa Senators hockey team. Hope springs eternal, much like the weeds in your neglected garden. We offered some armchair coaching that is guaranteed to be ignored by everyone, especially the actual team.
We also delved into the thrilling realm of the Ontario Gaming Corporation, pondering the existential questions raised by lottery tickets and the siren call of instant riches. Spoiler alert: the odds are probably not in your favour, but hey, someone's gotta fund those public services, right?
Then there was the segment on garage cleanups. Prepare for tales of dusty relics, forgotten treasures, and the overwhelming urge to simply set the whole thing on fire and start over. Our organizational tips range from "buy more bins" to "just accept the chaos."
Finally, we may or may not have discussed Hotel Jefe. Honestly, it was probably a fever dream at this point in the recording. If we did, we likely offered some highly subjective opinions on the thread count of the sheets and the quality of the complimentary breakfast. Which according to our call, leaves one thinking this is a must visit when in Vegas!
So there you have it, a linguistic summary as longwinded and pointless as the Ninety minutes of your listening life, irretrievably gone. We hope you were at least mildly amused, slightly informed, or perhaps just successfully distracted from your responsibilities. Until next time, may your streaming queues be ever-expanding, your Costco samples plentiful, and your garage forever… well, a garage.

Season 5 Episode 11

Welcome to your weekly injurious waste of time, the podcast that makes you wish you were not an Ottawa sports fan because you wouldn't have to listen to these segments.  Regardless we are here to guide you through the chaotic landscape of politics, curling, and all the ways to procrastinate while you're being productive.
This week we dive into the world of politics, where every decision feels like a game of curling- lots of sweeping, some strategic sliding and everyone just trying to avoid the rocks.  Speaking of rocks, did you catch the Sens as of late...rock solid.
Don't worry if sports isn't your thing, we got streaming recommendations with Duffs great pick and DDTs weird one, we have budget saving hacks, DDTs questionable decision making in home renos and so much more.
Buckle up, strap yourself in, you really need to because the quality of the next 100minutes is not likely to keep you listening otherwise.
That's Cop Car Coffee.
 
 

Season 5 Episode 10

As DDTs boyhood and adult hero Pierre Poilievre questioned the Liberal finance minister, we do the same thing with our new guest this week...Who are you?
If you got nothing else going on, please feel free to digest your weekly injurious waste of time, this episode jam packed with even more nonsense with our special guest. 
You got that right, live from Scotties, DDT was smitten to have his old buddy in the studio.  It was fun to be a Duff on the wall as DDT and the guest reminisced about their time many many moons ago in the studios of Algonquin College and beyond, and their contributions to the Tom Green Show. 
Always unpredictable, often mediocre and always an injurious waste of time, this is Cop Car Coffee.

Season 5 Episode 9

Welcome to 9th episode of the season for Cop Car Coffee, the podcast where bad decisions and questionable opinions are brewed fresh daily! This week, we’re diving into Sportsnets baffling choice to air NHL games in places that make zero sense, Donald’s utterly unique take on tariffs (spoiler: it’s not what you think), the hilariously bizarre origins of the Tom Green Show, and, of course, elections—because why bother voting if everything stays the same? Plus, DDT’s bowel movements, because... why not? If you’ve got time to waste and zero expectations, you’ve found your new favorite podcast! Grab a cup, settle in, and as DDT says... let’s get weird.

Season 5 Episode 8

Is 2025 the year of the budget? We put our pesos where are spreadsheets are.  What does a budget mean to you?  How about those World Juniors and coach Cameron...O my, don't coaches coach, are 4 week tournaments really "such a short tournament"?  How about all those people who say Call Me!  Like...why?  Apologies for all the questions and for bringing you another year of this nonsense.  Exchange rates, ice skating, trips to the spa and so much more.  Yea, this show is trippin...

Season 5 Episode 7

Good bye 2024! In a year of misery, at least we had DDT and his antics.  Sure you've got your problems, Letterkenny has its problems, the world has problems, but DDTs success rate of problem solving (28%) not only beats yours, the markets too.  Sports, politics, bad investing and recommendations come at you hard this week as we send 2024 packing.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Duff and DDT to all our guests of the show, and our listener.  

Season 5 Episode 6

Welcome to your injurious waste of time, sorry.  This week if you have nothing else going on, listen in for some real gems from the world of Canada Post, Landman on Prime, JBs bizarre garbage clean up, the 69c dollar, and so much more.  Live from Scotties, its CCC. 

Season 5 Episode 5

A Week of Chaos, Chaos, and More Chaos
Hey Podbeanski's, if you're still awake in Lanark County, tune in for this week's episode. We've got a real doozy for you.
First off, let's talk about the Canada Post strike. I know, I know, super exciting stuff. Not. But hey, it's been impacting our lives...not really...or has it, so we might as well talk about it. We'll probably complain about it, laugh about it, and then forget about it in five minutes.
Next up, we've got a new show on Prime Video called "Nothing But a Good Time." It's about 80s Hair Bands or the modern DDT Dadbods, well, either way, we will have a good time with it. Shocker, I know. We'll discuss whether it's worth the watch or if it's just another mindless show to fill the void, like CCC.
Then, we'll dive into the culinary world with Duff's best beef rib recipe. I mean, who doesn't love a good beef rib? We'll break down the recipe, critique it, and probably make fun of DDTs cooking skills or lack thereof while we are at it.
Of course, no podcast is complete without a little sports chat. We'll talk about the latest games, the biggest upsets, and the dumbest injuries. And let's be honest, there's always some dumb injury to talk about at least from our Ottawa clubs...
Finally, we'll just waste some time talking about random, useless stuff. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you wonder why you're even listening to this podcast. But hey, that's what we do best! An injurious waste of time.
So, if you're looking for a podcast that's equal parts informative, entertaining, and not completely pointless, you've come to the wrong place. Tune in and let's waste some time together.

Season 5 Episode 4

Podbeanski's, you ever open up your laptop and the random screensaver is amazing?  I did this morning and was welcomed by the beauty multi coloured fields of flowers and windmills of Holland.  This is the opposite of opening up a CCC Podcast, where you will be greeted with abrasive, monochromatic tones; an injurious waste of time.
Waste away this week with our new local totally altruistic business shout out, a couple picks from Duff, yummy recipes, cost saving hacks, and most worthy of your time wasting...contributions from DDT in the area of HOT or NOT, and driving in Ottawa.
If you've got nothing else to do, we are sorry.

Season 5 Episode 3

It's a great day for hockey, or is it.  Why do we schedule NHL hockey in the afternoon in Ottawa in October? WHY? Also, in a limited market like Ottawa, why schedule both our professional sports teams in NHL and CFL at the same time?  This is ridiculous, what a loss, somebody should hire DDT for scheduling.  
If you're not watching pro sports on a gorgeous Ottawa Valley weekend, sorry, you must be tuning in to us.  Listen in this week as the grim reaper makes a good story, another altruistic local business recommendation will hit you hard and sorry, we overindulge in you! That's right, it was time to catch up on the listener feedback. Some might say your stories are better than ours.
Thanks for listening.  Sorry.
