Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast

Terry's warts-and-all review of a very busy social calendar in the week leading up to Victoria Day, which can itself be a trigger for an English boy from Verdun. 

The uncomfortable truth: Greeks make the best Montreal pizza. Also, don't cut in front of Ted in line at Costco. In an episode fraught with controversy, the boys shoot from the lip on their preference for Greek Montreal pizza, Terry calls out a pool company that tried his patience beyond the breaking point, and Ted almost turns Costco Pointe Claire into the Octagon. 

Terry and Ted conquer technology by successfully conducting an online interview with progressive rock legend Alan Parsons ahead of his charity fundraising show next week at Place des Arts. Also, the ban on phones in school, putting the Habs to bed for the summer and Ted gets something to cry about. 

The Habs are down but not out, a heartwarming story of love lost but not forgotten, and what's with the old guy rock star hair? That and more on this week's episode, including a pee-pants funny Tweet Sheet. 

The man responsible for Terry DiMonte's first big break in radio joins us this week to talk about a Montreal original and the ghost that haunted it. We also draw positives from the Canadiens' playoff-opening loss and lament the cool spring weather and leftlane hogs. 

In the spring, a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love, while an older man's fancy turns to the Masters, the Habs' playoff chances, breakfast and bunions (paraphrasing Alfred Tennyson here). 

In the absence of company this week, Terry and Ted let it all hang out and even veer treacherously close to breaking their commitment to avoid talking politics. Also, all the usual tomfoolery and features, including Terry's entertainment recommendations and the Tweet Sheet, as well as a cornucopia of reminiscences, which is easy to say and spell when you have autocorrect. 

Strangers in the Night founder Larry Day joins us in studio to talk about the 20th anniversary of the West Island's signature charity and social event, and provides a bonus look inside the TV and film industry from his perspective as an actor. Also, Montreal April Fool's gags, Terry plays interpreter to Ted's crazy dreams and entertainment picks from the picture box.
