Montreal Sauce

A blast from the past. You might call it retro. Paul and Chris discuss their introduction to video games in a ‘grand experiment’ of live streaming on Twitch. This is the audio of that show from May of 2019. Go down the 16-bit memory lane with them for a short episode. Paul’s first taste of games, brought to you by the number 64, it’s Astro Grover. Paul gets a Nintendo Entertainment System with the combo cartridge of Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. Behold the awesomeness of 1977, Chris’...

Our first interview of the new season continues with Sean Tilley of We Distribute. We talk curating video via “Frown Tube,” San Francisco’s chilly weather not seen on TV, and the service industry. We also discuss how funding the things we love and keeping them going is a difficult thing when their competing with “free” centralized services. Sean is using Pleroma, a social network that federates with Mastodon and others using the Activity Pub protocol. Our guest is experimenting with...

We’re back! To start the new season we’re talking about decentralization, community, trust, the weird mold thing called kombucha, and more with Sean Tilley. The walled gardens of the centralized silos that treat us as a product can make communicating with people outside the service difficult. The trade-off is in how much time and energy you want to spend maintaining your own decentralized services. We discuss some of these services, the communities funding them and the algorithms that abuse...

The last time Paul & Chris got together to do a short show minus any guests, they talked Star Trek Discovery. How fitting that the first Sauce Packet of this year is talking about season 2 of the show. Oh, and we’re sorry that the “short” show went long, but we had a lot to say about Time Crystals. Please Red Angel, go back in time and give that MacGuffin a better name. The thrilling start of our episode is us trying to pronounce a name in the chat room. You can join us during our live...

Our conversation with Stump Kitchen was one of those chats where we lose track of time. Guest Alexis and the hosts were sad to see the time was up. That just means we’ll have to have Alexis back or convince her to watch a bad movie for Film Frown. This episode revolves around producing the cooking show, dealing with mental health, eating a pre-dinner when you’re making risotto, sweat pant shopping and stump squeezing.
