Cop Car Coffee

Season 6 Episode 11

Welcome back! We are like that pesky old yard animal that you finally though that you had gotten rid of, but then it's back to knock over the compost once again.  Also kind of like our Ottawa Senators, whom everyone had ridden off over a month ago, including our very own DDT.  DDT will no doubt be apologizing for this and eating his words.  Speaking of eating, wait until you hear about Duff's recipe of the week, my mouth is watering.  Here's to another week of very slowly transitioning weather, and very slow banter that no doubt is just another injurious waste of time! Thanks for tuning in though, as we continue to break records in listenership in far away places.  Your insight into the world of Canada and Ottawa, and into apologies and time wasting.

Season 6 Episode 10

Grab a double-double and settle in for another hour of DDT and Commander Duff proving that "expert" is a term used very loosely these days.
This week, we’re tackling the heavy hitters:
Roll up the Rim: Because nothing says "morning" like digital disappointment and carpal tunnel from an app.
Daylight Savings: We discuss why losing an hour of sleep makes us 100% more likely to yell at clouds, and how DDT springs forward for anything that is free.
The Schedule Struggle: Why does the NHL think East Coasters want to start games at 10:00EST? We’re tired, Gary.  Some of us have to work for a living.
Ottawa’s Snow Obsession: The city is trucking snow away like it’s evidence in a crime scene. Just let it melt, guys...and put the MILLIONS to something else.
Recipe of the Week: We’re going Asian-inspired! Hope you like soy sauce and Duff’s questionable substitution skills.
Plus, the Paul Smith Lady Bobcats are headed to the AAU Nationals in Jacksonville! They’ll have to win without their biggest fan, DDT, who clearly doesn’t love them enough to buy a plane ticket...the cheap bastard. We wrap it all up with a look at the World Baseball Classic.
It’s mediocre, it’s loud, and it’s mostly accurate. Enjoy

Season 6 Episode 9

Welcome back to Cop Car Coffee, the podcast that’s officially the leading cause of productivity-related injuries. It’s Season 6, Episode 9, and frankly, if you’re still listening after six years, that’s more on you than us.
Today we chat about February 13th, the day the universe inexplicably gifted us both DDT and Commander Duff...but in different years. We’ll be celebrating their birthdays, though 'celebrating' is a strong word for guys complaining about sports, politics and the weather.
We’re also tackling the national embarrassment of Brazil having more Winter Gold than Canada, the adrenaline rush of cancelling travel plans, and a look back at college life—a time when we had hair and dreams, apologies if we didn't get to that.
Duff has a movie pick, and most importantly, DDT is offering an apology. We have to give it to him: DDT has turned apologizing into a high art form. He does it with such frequency and flair that you almost forget he’s just going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow. It’s truly a gift.
Settle in for your infrequently frequent injurious waste of your time. We’re glad you’re here, for some reason."

Season 6 Episode 8

It's 2026...Welcome to Cop Car Coffee, the podcast that remains, against all odds and municipal bylaws, your number one injurious waste of time. If you’re still listening, we can only assume your remote is broken or you’ve developed a very specific type of Stockholm syndrome.
What’s on the menu, besides DDT complaining:We’ve officially made it to the future. It looks a lot like 2025, but with more expensive groceries and even less hair on DDT’s head.
The "Good Old Days" of Winter: Remember when winter actually stayed for the season instead of ghosting us every two weeks? We reminisce about "old time winters" back when you could trust the ice and didn't need a boat to navigate the driveway in February.
Investing for Entertainment: Warning: Our financial advice is roughly as stable as a house of cards in a Kanata windstorm. We dive into the markets—not to make money, obviously, but for the pure, masochistic thrill of watching line graphs go down.
Road Salt or a lack thereof.  A moving tribute to the white crust currently eating our vehicles alive, unless you're in Lanark and experiencing a shortage. 
Duff’s Pick: Duff brings another recommendation to the table. Will it be a life-changing cinematic masterpiece or another "how did this get funded?" gem? The bar is low, yet somehow we still get under it.
The Upcoming Winter Games: We discuss the Winter Games with the confidence of people who get winded walking to the mailbox. Expect elite-level analysis on sports we don't understand and athletes whose names we will definitely mispronounce.
To our new listeners joining us on iTunes: we are so, so sorry. We aren't sure what algorithm led you here, but please know that it isn't too late to turn back and listen to literally anything else—perhaps a podcast about drying paint or the history of the stapler. For those who stay: buckle up, stay awake, Tony Gabriel is "in the house".
Final Note: We also spent a significant amount of time talking about local politics, drive-thru etiquette, and why the Senators are still "rebuilding"—none of which made it into this summary, or did it, or did we even talk about it, because we forgot where we were going with it.

Season 6 Episode 7

The 2025 Garbage Fire Year in Review...
Buckle up, listeners. If you’ve reached this point, you’ve survived another 365 days of questionable decision-making. Duff and DDT are back to sift through the wreckage of 2025 in a year-in-review episode that’s roughly as organized as the Ottawa Senators’ defensive zone.
We kick things off with our Investing segment, where we discuss how we managed to turn "guaranteed gains" into "tax-loss harvesting opportunities." Then, it’s a deep dive into Netflix picks and totally unplanned content.  For this DDT apologizes.
But the real meat of the episode? The Kanata Coffee Tribulations. We recap the tactical errors made at the Stonehaven McDonald's and the absolute psychological warfare of the Tim Hortons drive-thru on Eagleson, during a January "wintry mix." Between the frozen wipers, the potholes on the 417, festivus poles and the Sens' perpetual "rebuild," we’re honestly just impressed you are still listening, good listener...as we approach 4000 "listens".
It’s a recap of a year that felt ten years long, and that's not just the coffees with DDT. Sorry you’ve found us. Grab a lukewarm double-double, huddle for warmth, and let’s collectively ignore the road ahead.
Let Cop Car Coffee help you bring on 2026.

Season 6 Episode 6

Merry Christmas Podbeanski's. 
Welcome to the Cop Car Coffee Podcast, where Duff and DDT prove that just because you have access to a mic, it doesn’t mean you should actually use it.
Join us two guys this week,  who’ve spent more time in drive-thrus than actually prepping for Christmas, as we moan about the soul-crushing cost of the holidays and the futility of buying gifts for adult kids who only want cash anyway. We’ll also discuss the local speed cameras—which we’re pretty sure are just overpriced Festivus poles for the rest of us.
It’s mostly caffeine-fueled nonsense. Lower your expectations; we already did.  Merry Christmas, and have a happy New Year!
Commander Duff and DDT.

Season 6 Episode 5

☕ Cop Car Coffee: Where We Solve Nothing and Eat Everything!
Sorry, but welcome to Cop Car Coffee, the podcast where we prove we're not experts, but we are hungry. We'll try to solve the federal budget and explain why hockey is bankrupting us, but mostly, we'll be arguing about who gets the last bite of the epic food from Cosmos Greek food in Nepean! Forget serious debate; we prefer to reminisce about late nights at Chuck's Roadhouse in Kanata and which traffic apps are currently infuriating us most.
From cheap Mexican Food hacks to the amazing (and financially terrifying) deals found on Expedia travel, we’re covering the truly important things in life. If you like your conversations as chaotic as rush hour—and about as useful—this is the ride for you. Subscribe now, before we get fired.

Season 6 Episode 4

Welcome to the podcast that proves you can be slightly less than mediocre and still have a microphone. Join your hosts, two experts in failing up, as they embrace life's beautifully awkward stumbles.
This week, the high-stakes world of Canadian fast food comes to a head as they chronicle their latest Tim Hortons parking lot struggles and victories. Prepare for a deep dive into the elusive art of the drive-thru merge and more. Then, DDT takes the lead on investigating the municipal mystery of the speed camera, is it a vanishing act? Then, they’ll bring you back to reality with a heartfelt, possibly painful, tribute to Our beloved Blue Jays and the ritualistic emotional turmoil they inspire. Infact, Duff still can't get into hockey since game 7 of the world series.
Winter is coming! (And then leaving, then coming back). They’ll unpack the glorious chaos of the first blast of winter in Ottawa.
For your domestic delight, Duff shares his Recipe of the Week, a Mumbi-keeper so good it’s probably a mistake it works. Plus, the boys crown a near champion in their ongoing quest for local coffee shop excellence and deliver their highly questionable streaming picks of the week. Tune in for the oops, stay for the oof.
And, o ya, you've got to tune in to our Youtube channel to see DDTs hair alone...
Sorry, you've found Cop Car Coffee.

Season 6 Episode 3

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada! Welcome back to CCC, the longest-running (and least popular) podcast from the south part of Kanata South. We’re coming to you this week fully rested and slightly chaotic after a memorable cottage weekend at JBs.
This episode is packed with seasonal goodness, starting with the long-awaited and oft-postponed trip to JB's cottage. We finally made it, and the highlight was undoubtedly an amazing barge around JB's lake. Forget speedboats; JB’s pontoon barge provided the perfect backdrop for cold drinks, bad jokes, and pure, uninterrupted cottage bliss as the fall colours began to pop.
Of course, a cottage trip means great food! We recap the culinary triumphs, from amazing sausages that DDT took too many of when he should of just been sampling,  to JBs favorite: the parasitic wild boar meat.  DDT fell asleep, but that didn't stop the party.  We also dive into the unexpected failure of the weekend: the disk golf that never happened. We packed the disks, but between the barge, the eating, and a shared enthusiasm for doing absolutely nothing, the game remained sadly unplayed—a perfect metaphor for life's simpler priorities. When we weren't eating, we were satisfying our collective guilty pleasure by watching truly awful, straight-to-DVD movies otherwize known as our Lanark Pics.  We break down the most baffling special effects and nonsensical plots.
Bringing us back to reality, we dissect the glorious insanity of October baseball and our Blue Jays! We’re on the edge of our seats for the playoffs, making our (likely doomed) World Series predictions and arguing over the wildcard matchups. This leads us to a deeper discussion on a favorite theme: the truth that more money doesn't matter when stacked against the simple joy of a cottage weekend and good company.
Finally, we transition from philosophy to the practical with a guaranteed crowd-pleaser: a great pasta sauce recipe for the fall. This hearty, flavourful sauce—featuring slow-roasted garlic and a secret ingredient—is the perfect addition to your kitchen lineup for the chilly months ahead.
All this and more from Kanata South's longest running and least popular podcast. Thanks for sticking with us! Have a wonderful, safe, and Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Season 6 Episode 2

Hello and welcome back to Cop Car Coffee, the podcast where two guys who probably shouldn't be allowed to operate heavy machinery (let alone a microphone) stumble through the week's topics.
In Season 6, Episode 2, we prove once again that we are experts in absolutely nothing. We'll try to sound somewhat intelligent while discussing the latest news from The House of Guinness and debating the fairness (or pure evil) of speed cameras. If you're looking for financial advice, you've come to the wrong place, but we'll still ramble about silver prices (purely for entertainment, because if we knew how to invest, we wouldn't be doing this podcast).  But DDT does want to retire soon, can you buy his silver?
Get ready for Duff's recipe of the week, which will probably involve a deep fryer and questionable life choices, and stick around for JB's better-late-than-never cottage invite, which we're pretty sure is a practical joke disguised as an olive branch. We'll also briefly discuss the emotional roller coaster that is the Blue Jays postseason (before we cry into our mugs), check in on the mysterious Black Rabbit, and debut our thrilling new segment: The Weekly Coffee Report – because nothing says 'gripping content' like two tired guys talking about their caffeine intake. Finally, we'll give you our completely unqualified thoughts on investing (again, please don't sue us, this is for entertainment purposes only).
So grab a subpar cup of joe, try to ignore the sirens, and buckle up for another episode of low-brow commentary and high-octane self-deprecation. You've been warned.
