The fact that Mariana Vial hasn’t been on this show yet is kind of a tragedy. We’ve been good friends since at some point in 2001 I would guess and she’s been a talented part of the Montreal improv scene for what seems like forever. Her most recent endeavor is “The Jazz Ands” a musical improv troupe that is performing monthly at The Montreal Improve. Featuring Sandi A...

    Swan didn’t rape anyone.  You’d think I’d have remembered that after watching it 3 times and reading the book.     Listen here now!

In the last week or two, you might have heard a little story about a comedian being banned from performing at a comedy show for having dreadlocks . It made the national news. Zach Poitras is that comedian and now he’s on the show. And you  won’t believe what he has to say about the whole thing. Just kidding, for the guy at the center of such an incendiary story, Zach is amazingly open...

Not one but  two comedians join us for this episode! What a treat! What starts as a regular single guest affair with the lovely and talented American boy named Jared about kids in MAGA hats spirals into a conversation about Jimmy Savile once James Oakley arrives to the show. That seems like a pretty good resume of this episode. Sure does. Be sure to check out Jared as part of “ An Evening Wi...

This podcast was recorded a day later than usual because Scott and I needed to recover from the weekend. Jon needed a full week of recovery so he’s not even here. He did edit the podcast though so that’s pretty sweet. We talk almost exclusively about things that start with the second letter of the alphabet. Listen here now! The bed music during our advertising is an old loop by  Dan of...

Montreal’s favorite English language podcast (if you ask my dad) is back for our first episode of 2019! Always eager to put the spotlight on the up and coming members of Montreal’s ever evolving arts world, we welcome a new comedian on the scene: Michelle Dominique! Michelle co-produces a brand new monthly show in my old ‘hood NDG over at Honey Martin  the last Sunday of each mon...

So, full disclosure, we recorded this episode after recording our annual Sh!t Show over on Go Plug Yourself so Walter and I  may  have a had a few. This one gets a little wild. Also, the bar started getting a little rowdy as the show was recorded over the holidays, so deal with it. It’s a celebration! We’re also joined this episode by Vance Michel, The Green Phantom and The Arsenal bec...

The greatest New Year’s podcasting tradition in Montreal continues with the latest installment of the Go Plug Yourself New Year’s Shit Show! This year we welcome comedians Inés Anaya, Daniel Carin and Vance Michel and professional wrestlers The Arsenal and The Green Phantom to have a few beers and reminisce about the year that was 2018.  As always this one gets a little sloppy so sit b...

Mike Carrozza is back in Montreal for the holidays and local comedy just got a little better for it. Mike left our fair city a little while ago for the green pastures of Toronto but he’s back to spend the most wonderful time of the year with Walter (and Mike’s family). Somehow, despite this being the first episode in a long time without an expressly “musical” guest (though...

The Great Sabatini may or may refer to a sex act, but that doesn’t matter. One of Montreal’s heaviest bands for the last 11 years, the boys of The Great Sabatini have just released their latest full length album “Goodbye Audio” and it’s full of the unpredictable and technical heaviness that they’ve become so well known for. Once we get going, boy do we get going...

The Pat on the Mat crew has been busy, really busy. Walter has been running his open mic and hustling like a rockstar. I’ve been bogged down at the 9to5 job. Pat, meanwhile, has been in France doing more research for his Andre the Giant book and going to WWE Evolution. Walter wasn’t able to be at Grumpy’s for the recording of this one so Pat and I run a two man announce team. We...

It was the early 2000’s and Richard Petit had a problem. What do you do when you’re a francophone singer/songwriter and the music industry just isn’t paying the bills? Well, you could go work at St-Hubert BBQ, or you could mount one of the most highly praised Pink Floyd shows in the world. I think anyone who has had the opportunity to see The Wall Live Extravaganza is glad that R...

  Boy I get so excited talking about Dune I forget what I wanted to say and run over my own ideas. It’s rare that an art enters your life at a critical period, is in fact widely regarded as great, and then grows with age, so that one doesn’t have to regret the nostalgia tainted love.  Like, I was way into Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: it was my first CD; it got a lot of...

We welcome two of the members of Montreal’s Rockabilly Sweetheart’s, The Luckies to the show this week to talk about all sorts of things. From singing songs on YouTube to working the mines in Abitibi, this show has a little something for everyone. The Luckies recently released an EP that you can check out on iTunes here . Check out their video for “All I Can Do Is Cry” on t...

It’s well established that Alex Rose is a friend of the show . Not only has he been on GPYS proper 4 times now, he’s also featured on a bunch of our past Fantasia coverage. Why? Because he’s s a big shot over out at CULT Montreal when it comes to writing the words about the movies.  I feel like Alex has a pretty open ended invitation to be on the show whenever Walter wants to tal...

  The really awful part is that I don’t think any of them were phoning it in, either.  They were trying.  Many, many people worked really, really hard on this thing, and it was just a nightmare. Dark Shadows [2012] was based on a TV show that ran from 1966 until 1971.  This is the piece that I was missing on the podcast.  It had 1225 episodes.  Breathe that right on in.  Twelve hundred...

Welcome back to Montreal’s boyishly charming podcast, Go Plug Yourself! This week we welcome back two of the funniest people in Montreal: Troy Stark and Vance Michel. These guys are both bonafide hustlers in the Montreal comedy scene and have a ton of stuff coming up in the next few months. Vance and Walter run The World’s Smallest Open Mic  every Monday (an idea that was actually born...

  As long as he kills the half who pee on unwilling people and not by making another movie. Think about what a nice trade that would be.  The end of Infinity War would forever remain a mystery, unless you wanted to read the books or more likely don’t care, and in exchange the bad half of Hollywood is gone.  Not too shabby.  Unless of course being a sexual predator is somehow linked to t...

Finally, Montreal wrestling podcast extravaganza “Pat on the Mat” has returned! The most electrifying wrestling podcast is Quebec has returned to talk about the matches of Hell in a Cell, All In and the build up to Super Showdown, Crown Jewel and Evolution! We also talk about women’s wrestling news and as always, touch on local Quebec wrestling news as well. Enjoy the show! If yo...
