9to5.cc Podcasts: Including Go Plug Yourself (GPYS) & 9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

You know what the Go Plug Yourself gang got you for the holidays? A podcast a day early! Our generosity knows no bounds!It’s time for our most chaotic episode of the year! It’s the Go Plug Yourself shit show featuring too many people to mention but I’m going to try anyways – starting with my amazing co-hosts Walter J. Lyng, Lawrence Corber, Troy Stark, my wife Sarah and Chris Venditto, Go Plug Yourself regulars like Vance Michel, The Green Phantom, Mike Carrozza some cameos by Zak Kik, Shosho Abatouk, Harvey the Dog, some guy named Colin or Connor and I’m pretty sure Hasher was there for a second too. It’s a mess you guys. Enjoy the show!The audio quality is always a little all over the place with these bad boys and this year is no exception, I tried to level it off a little (our tendency to yell loudly when anyone showed up was particularly brutal on the ear drums) but it is what it is they say. So load this episode up and put it on a speaker so the whole house feels like a party where you’re not allowed to talk. In fairness, nobody is really “allowed” to talk when we’re all together like this. It’s just about being the loudest person in any given moment.Enjoy the show!Credit Where Credit is DueAs always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude!Chris Venditto is another funny person in Montreal who you can see all over the place and if you don’t want to miss him take the stage you should follow him on all the socials. He’s @chrisvenditto on Twitter and Instagram so you should follow him on those two things. He also produces shows with the guys at Perfect Bite Productions who you should also follow on Instagram and on Facebook.Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on 9to5 (illustrated), co-hosts our two podcasts: The 9to5 Entertainment System and Go Plug Yourself and sometimes blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.Inés Anaya never stops finding ways to be funny: writing for Hindwing Press and The Beaverton, running shows like Stand Up Story Slam and getting on the mic at comedy shows all over the city when it is legally possible to do so. The best way to keep track of what she’s up to next is on Instagram @clout__atlasLawrence Corber also produces some shows you may have heard of (you should probably check out the next Healthy Living show when you get a chance) and if you’re close with him you can call him Lully. The other way to call him “Lully” is to follow him on his socials. @Lully514 on Instagram.Walter J. Lyng is a stand-up comedian based out of Montreal, you should follow him on Twitter @wallygoodtimes and on Facebook: Walter J. LyngSarah is somehow still @femalewalter on Instagram. Follow her for pictures of our dogs and sometimes she remembers to post about all the arts and entertainment we take in all year long.Troy Stark is yet another amazing Montreal comedian and promoter who indulges me in co-hosting this wonderful little show of ours. You can catch him pretty often at the World’s Smallest Comedy Night and Cheap Laughs at Rustik Pub, both of which he produces.

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks comedian Sarah Warren: “Which love song do you wish was written about you?” That question was asked a few episodes ago by the wonderful Lou Laurence who was promoting her debut album “Montréal Romantic.”Listen, we know that we had Sarah Warren on the show already this year to promote her show “My Dead Mom’s Cookbook” but you might remember that on that very show she mentioned she was (at the time) taking a break from standup comedy. Well guess what? She’s back! Next Thursday, December 18th at the historic Café Cleopatra Sarah Warren will be taking to the stage to headline an all-star lineup of local talent. “Sarah Warren & Friends” will be the perfect way to kick off your holiday revelry in earnest. I promise.In the meantime, do yourself a favour and catch all of Sarah’s content (yes, often about her dead mom) at sarahisfamous on Instagram.Sarah joined Walter, Troy and I at the back of Grumpy’s to talk about sex toy sponsorship, John Cena’s last match and Reddit. Probably some other stuff too.

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast takes a break from our usual programming and invites Scott MacIver (from our other show 9ES) to talk about sports! I’ll be totally up front though, about 95% of the sports talk is hockey centric. Scott and Chris talk a little about football and baseball towards the end there but we love in Montreal and this is a hockey town so this is kind of a hockey podcast.Deal with it!The three of us break down the first 25% of the season for our beloved Montreal Canadiens who are quickly becoming one of the most exciting iterations of this team that we’ve had in recent memory. We also spend a good chunk of time celebrating the woes of the Toronto Maple Leafs. We all knew the wheels were going to come off but so far it’s been even more dramatic than even my wildest predictions.We talk about Team Canada, which Habs might make the cut for not only Team Canada but who else will be heading to Milan for their respective countries and Scott pretty much fixes the All-Star game.We close things off talking about the Milwaukee Brewers and Chris proclaims the MLB playoffs and World Series to be the most entertaining post-season in sports.Sports!Credit Where Credit is DueAs always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude!Chris Venditto is another funny person in Montreal who you can see all over the place and if you don’t want to miss him take the stage you should follow him on all the socials.

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks singer-songwriter Lou Laurence: “What makes baseball so romantic?” That question asked by Pascal Girard back in our last episode.Lou Laurence is an incredibly talented (and funny) performer who you may even recognize from her last appearance on this podcast promoting her Fringe Show “Love, Sharks & Frenching“. Well she’s just released her first album “Montréal Romantic” and you can listen to it pretty much everywhere you stream music. You can even buy the album digitally on Bandcamp if you’re a really good person.Lou Laurence joined Troy Stark and I at the back of Grumpy’s to talk about producing her first album, how thin the wall is between her and her neighbour and generally all the ups and downs of living and loving in the wonderful city of Montreal. Sudden snow storms, transit strikes and all.Troy Stark also steps up as full co-host for this one because Walter “flaked” on the episode in a move that I’m sure was not prompted by the metro strike. Thank you Troy!Oh hey, there’s never been a better time to tell someone about Go Plug Yourself than right now – we’re proud that Go Plug Yourself was selected to be part of Acast’s Indie Amplifier selections for November – check us out on Amazon Music Canada.Enjoy the show!Credit Where Credit is DueAs always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude!Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on 9to5 (illustrated), co-hosts our two podcasts: The 9to5 Entertainment System and Go Plug Yourself and sometimes blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.Troy Stark is yet another amazing Montreal comedian and promoter who indulges me in co-hosting this wonderful little show of ours.

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks comic book artist Pascal Girard: “What’s your positive vision for the future?” That question was asked in our last episode by Annie and Scout from CULT PLAY.Pow Pow is bringing the English translation of Pascal Girard’s latest book “Pastimes” next week. From Pow Pow:“From encounters with would-be swingers at the dog park to ferocious felines at the local cat cafe, in these short, snappy comic strips Pascal Girard delivers snippets inspired by his daily life, with a bittersweet humour that's sometimes mocking, sometimes tender, but always deeply observant. Pastimes is a funny and surprisingly moving portrait of passing time in the modern world, one comic at a time.”We talk about being obsessed with death, what it’s like to let a translator become your voice, surfing and the Blue Jays making us cry.If you’re in the area you can check out the official launch party at Librairie D&Q on November 7th and Pascal Girard and other Pow Pow artists will be at the Read Quebec book fair on December 6th and 7th at Casa d’Italia.Oh hey, there’s never been a better time to tell someone about Go Plug Yourself than right now - we’re proud that Go Plug Yourself was selected to be part of Acast’s Indie Amplifier selections for November - check us out on Amazon Music Canada.Enjoy the show!Credit Where Credit is DueAs always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude!Chris Venditto is another funny person in Montreal who you can see all over the place and if you don’t want to miss him take the stage you should follow him on all the socials.
