2025 Special Summer Podcast

Oops you’ve done it again. You’ve successfully squandered another perfectly good summer hour with us here at Cop Car Coffee, and for that, we can only offer our sincerest apologies. This week, we plunge headfirst into a pool of conversational ineptitude, splashing around in a variety of topics we have no business discussing.

Our Lanark movie pick, The Gambler, starring Mark Wahlberg, leads us down a rabbit hole of poor life choices, both on-screen and off. We'll also regale you with tales of our disastrous gardening attempts, proving that our green thumbs are, in fact, simply soiled. DDT, in a fit of what can only be described as a self-inflicted 'make work' project, has managed to spend an exorbitant amount of money to fix something that wasn't broken. We dive deep into the thrilling world of costly, unnecessary renovations.

From the sun-drenched beaches we've never visited to the charming streets of France we've only seen on TV, we offer up our entirely unqualified travel advice. We then pivot to a topic near and dear to our hearts: the truly abysmal drivers of Ottawa, and how they single-handedly prove that humanity is a lost cause.

We try to tackle the heavy stuff—wildfires and the ever-present specter of government overreach—but quickly get sidetracked by the important questions, like "What's the deal with White Lotus Season 3?" We also solve the global financial crisis by concluding that money, in a shocking twist, doesn't matter. Finally, we wrap up with a collection of recipes guaranteed to disappoint your family and friends.

So, buckle up for this injurious waste of your time. We promise nothing, and we'll still under-deliver. Thanks for listening.
