October is most definitely the most rock n roll month of the year. There isn't really any scientific proof to that statement but let's face it you cant add ROCK to any other month quite as effectively. June? March? Nope ROCKTOBER it is and the Canadian Geeks are here to celebrate all that is October. Over the years many, many great albums were released in the month of Rocktober. Wallygator and the Meister dig into some of these albums. Also Wallygator digs up some interesting rock and roll facts that went down in this, the tenth month of the longest year of our lives. As the pandemic continues to suck all the fun from 2020, we might as well curl up with CGCM Radio and grab an ice cold Trooper Beer and a shot of Cloven Hoof Rum and listen to a couple idiots fight and play some great tunes! Stuff like Motorhead, Hellsmoke, Def Leppard, Pretty Boy Floyd, Accept, Diamondhead and more!!
Ok so let's just face the facts. 2020 sucks donkey balls! This "Mexican Beer" virus continues to wreak havoc on the world, cancelling everything in its path. It's bad enough that we have already had to postpone our 100th episode, now it has simply buggered our 3rd Birthday! Not only is it the 3rd Birthday of the CGCM Podcast, but it is also Rich "The Meister" Dillon's 47th Birthday AND Wallygator's big 5-0. In the words of the Metal Cowboy, Ron Keel, April 10th is a "major monumental metal milestone". Welcome to the CGCM's third birthday party. We have to do it isolated but that doesn't mean we cant crack open an ice cold Black Oak Brewery beer and/or a sweet shot of Cloven Hoof Rum. Raise a toast and let's learn about April 10th! Wallygator came prepared with a bunch of facts about this important date in history. Music facts, general facts and a bunch of crap that nobody really cares about. It's not like you have anywhere to go! So stop your bitching, stay at home and flatten the curve. As always the boys bring the music! They alternate between "3" themed songs (cause the podcast turns 3 years old...duh.) and "gift" themed songs. Since they can't be in the same room to record together, the hosts give each other "birthday gift" songs as tokens of appreciation for each other. Join us, won't you?

Yee Haw! The Canadian Geeks go country in the latest episode of the CGCM Podcast. Rich “The Meister” Dillon took a quick road trip up to Wallygator’s cottage for an outdoor recording session. They call it “cottage country” so the boys decided to get into the spirit. They put on some assless chaps, loaded up the beer fridge and brought along some Cloven Hoof Rum for good measure. The theme? Taking the “O” outta Country. It’s a country music podcast like you have never heard. The lines are blurred with country stars doing rock songs and metal bands doing country tunes. Cats sleeping with dogs! It’s chaos in assless chaps and cowboy hats!
It's been quite a while since the Canadian Geeks jumped into their hot air balloon and taken a trip. Fasten your seat belts as we go "Around The World In 80 Episodes". This time Wallygator and the Meister set down in the land of the rising sun. Welcome everyone to JAPAN! For those that may have not listened to any of our previous episodes from this series, it goes like this. Your hosts actually have to spend some time researching the hard rock and metal bands of the chosen country. This of course is something that almost resembles "work" but the good news is they can do the research while sipping on Rhythm & Brews and Cloven Hoof Rum. So don't feel too sorry for them. Oh and they also get to uncover some great music.
You read that correctly. The Canadian Geeks sit down and chat metal with Mr. Paul "Freakin" Stanley! It's a dream come true episode as Wallygator and The Meister chat via telephone with the Paul Stanley. So get yourself a frosty cold beverage, sit back and hear all about some of Paul's favourite metal music. Now seriously, you weren't actually expecting Paul Stanley from KISS? We are far more excited to introduce Paul Stanley, founder, and owner of Cloven Hoof Rum, the newest sponsor of the CGCM Podcast. Paul calls in from jolly ol' England to revel in some conversation and drink heavily with the Canadian Geeks. As Paul likes to put it "Raise the Hoof"! Paul talks about his passion for metal music, his passion for RUM and sharing his name with another famous Paul Stanley. It's the complete story of how Cloven Hoof Rum came to be and its very cool relationship with the metal scene. Cloven Hoof Rum is a proud sponsor of metal music and Paul spins a six pack of bands that he wants to shed some light on. The CGCM Podcast is proud to be the vehicle chosen to share the spotlight on these great bands.
