Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast

Description: Are we just old guys pining for the past or is society in a period of decline? Terry and Ted ponder whether things really were better back in their day - or just different. Also, a look back at Grand Prix weekend, and peach cobbler: the other shoemaker. 

Just ahead of Father's Day, a Montreal dad talks about his fight to save his son in a health battle that's taken on a life of its own. Also, the STM transit strike, Grand Prix Week sticker shock and the bagpipes (this time for real). 

Reluctant retirees Terry and Ted capitalize on their free time and mobility to blanket Montreal with their presence at various and sundry charity and entertainment events. Also, when he's not flitting hither and yon, Terry is anchored to the couch for hours on end, watching multiple streaming services and taking copious notes for his weekly viewing recommendations, and this week he's got some dandies. 

Terry revisits Vancouver and suffers the slings and arrows of commercial air travel. Also, summertime goings-on in Montreal, the mechanics of standup comedy and why no one asks us to name TV shows. 

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. 

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.
