Here’s the part where I talk about the podcast but usually talk about what audio issues may or may not plague the recording. I’m happy to report that other than the fact that my voice is a little louder than all the others (and really, to me that’s a good thing) this podcast is almost 100% issue free and quite frankly sounds fantastic. You should listen in to it while you light a few candles, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the snow fall down on our fair city. Or, if you’re in another part of the world you should listen to it while you invent time travel.

No Scott, tell us how you really feel about your about-to-be-born child. This is the last 9ES before Scott is a full blown father, I mean, I guess he’s a father right now, but his child still lives inside of his wife. What does that mean for 9ES? Hopefully it means nothing and we’ll still be able to steal Scott away for all important podcast recording sessions, realistically though it might mean we hear a little less from Scott in the coming months. Anyhow, our sound issues our back, I tried something a little different and it didn’t work out the way I planned at all. You would think that after recording nearly 100 podcasts we’d have this shit down by now wouldn’t you? Well you know what, fuck you.

Seriously though, the sound is really not that bad. Fuck.

In the same way that Scott sat 9eS 30 out, Sophie is missing here in 9ES 31. We are some busy people, Sophie was out repping 9to5 (dot cc) in New York  City you see, probably not really, but she was in NYC going to Broadway Shows and stuff. We don’t talk about that at all in this episode, what we do talk about is all the geeky stuff that you should be talking about with your friends. A healthy mix of up-to-the-minute geek stuff and old timey geek nostalgia (sometimes both at the same time). Listen with your earholes Pam. Also, I think (knock on wood) we may almost be ready to say farewell to our echo problems. Here’s hoping.

Holy shit, with a new USB splitter comes a new host of recording (or rather editing) problems for me to deal with. We did it though and other then a few moments around the 45 minute mark the sound quality is mostly intact. Hey everyone, we’ve done 30 episodes! With the ongoing technical issues we’re having over at 9to5 (illustrated) we’re slowly catching up to the amount of comics on the site! That’s weird! Thanks for listening, tell your friends, buy us beer.

Here is a rare, indeed I think it’s the first, episode that has only Sophie, Jon and myself in it. So rare we don’t even have an episode image for it! So I just put a big “X” over Scott’s face. Take that Scott! Bwa ha ha! What better way to celebrate Valentine’s day then to sit down with your loved one and listen to us? Or to sit down by yourself and listen to us? There is no better way. 9to5 approved. Enjoy the show everyone.

You know, with a title like that, you’d probably think we talk a lot about The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit and you know, we do talk about those things. However, we talk a lot more about wrestling. We talk about it a whole bunch. Seriously gang, the first 30 minutes or so of this episode are dedicated almost entirely to the last few days worth of wrestling news, CM Punk vs The Rock at Royal Rumble, Cena winning the Royal Rumble, Ryder, Ziggler, man, we talk about wrestling for a long time. Then we talk about other stuff.

Oh yeah, we would also like to extend a big thank you to all of our listeners for making January our all time biggest month for downloads of the 9ES catalogue and current episodes!

For the first 9ES of the year we talk about butter running out in Russia. I’m not going to Google that, you can fact check our own nonsense. Something that is definitely real (but I’m not going to link to it either) are cognac pipes. Look those up too. We also talk a whole heck of a lot about dicks in movies, starting with Django Unchained and then taking a magical journey through the history of dongs in cinema. We also then talk a lot about what passes for metal at the Grammy’s. Another classic episode from the 9to5 crew.

Here it is, the podcast you’ve been waiting for! The podcast where we talk about all the stuff that we loved in 2012, specifically, stuff that came out in 2012. It’s the first podcast of 2013 and we’re already getting nostalgic for last year, we are so retro. Also, I feel that I am going to take advantage of the fact that I write the post to give two honourable mentions to stuff I thought was awesome in 2012: The album Blunderbuss by Jack White and the latest season of Mad Men, you should listen to/watch these things in addition to all the other fun stuff we talk about in this episode. Enjoy the show gang, we’ll be back with our regularly scheduled programming next week.

You might notice that during the intro we say that it’s December 27th, but then in the beginning of the podcast I say this episode is coming out today (the 20th) but by the end I am apparently drunk enough to think that it’s coming out on the 27th and so on. That’s because I’m an idiot. I’ve recorded 3 podcasts in 2 days that spread out over 3 weeks, cut me some slack public. Cut me some slack. This is the last regularly scheduled 9to5 Entertainment System of 2012 guys, you should spread your love all over it. It will keep you warm in the dark of night as the Santaman in the sky peers into your soul and prepares to devour your children. Or something. Also, Scott sounds sleepy in that intro.

Oh shit! Don’t forget our very important music providers!

Usually, since I’m the last person to touch the podcast I take a line that makes me laugh and make it the title. This time around however, Scott Shanghai’d that privileged by creating the admittedly hilarious episode image that you see below. Yes indeed, Sophie talks about sports in this episode. Sophie’s view of sports is somewhat accurately depicted in this image. Can you find 3 things wrong with the image kids? Answers below. Enjoy the show.
