Go Plug Yourself 33: Graham Cuthbertson

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

After recording this episode, Walter described Graham as the “perfect guest”. I think this was possibly just because Graham admitted to briefly entertaining the idea of pursuing a career in pro-wrestling and was also interested in roller derby. Either way, we had a great chat with Graham in the midst of the fallout of the previous day’s St-Patrick’s celebrations (green plastic trinkets littered Bishop street as far as the eye could see). We talk Montreal theater, Graham’s involvement with the very cool SideMart Theatrical Grocery company (I feel like they don’t really deliver groceries) and also our mutual friend Leighland. We also learn what lengths Graham would go to in order to not stop playing NES.

Go Plug Yourself 32: Kyle Allatt

Here’s a tip for all you creative types who want to be on the show: buttering us up will get you places. Kyle gushed to us in person about how great the show was and how it was the best and most fun he’s ever had on the internet (which I presume includes finding pictures of tub girls) and how we were great hosts. Only after that (and getting us all the somas, crank, blow and hookers we could handle which, for the record, is a lot) did he ask to be on the show again. Of course we said yes. Or, more specifically, I said yes and Walter said “watch me bite a piece of my own tongue off” which he then did. I guess spitting his own blood into Kyle’s face was a bit of an affirmation that the show was going to happen though, so let’s stick with that.

Anyhow, Kyle wanted to come on since he’s formed a new sketch comedy troop (or is it troupe?) called “Get Off the Stage” and he wanted to talk about that. So naturally we talked about other stuff instead.

I can’t seem to find any sort of official page for “Get Off the Stage” so here’s Kyle’s direct Facebook page instead. They have a show coming up on April 5th at the Montreal Improv. So go to that.

UPDATE: Those lazy Get Off the Stage guys actually created a Facebook page and it is here. GO TO IT. I’m not even bothered by the fact that their font and black and white scheme is highly derivative of 9to5 (dot cc). Fun fact, we invented typewriter fonts AND the absence of colour way back in 2011.

Go Plug Yourself 31: Adam Reider

Adam could be on this podcast based solely on the fact that he had live ponies at his birthday party last year. Seriously, live ponies that people could ride around in the alley behind his house. That alone would be reason enough to warrant having him on the show. The fact that he’s running his own studio (Rail City Media), films a successful Youtube series (Dinner with TJ) and is also able to drive nails into his head and eat glass (as his sideshow alter-ego Atom Balm) is really just icing on the cake. Because seriously, ponies.

Go Plug Yourself 30: Nick Babeu (Trigger Effect/Turbo Haüs)

by on February 23, 2013 at 7:24 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

First of all, I will apologize again for the lateness of this episode. Due to various circumstances we recorded an entire episode that is too hot for the internet. We might add it later as a DVD special feature. Anyhow, we scrambled for a guest, Walter came through with his Illuminati connections and hooked us up with Nick. If you don’t know, Nick is the lead singer of one of Montreal’s most kick ass acts “Trigger Effect” and has just put the finishing touches on his latest endeavour, a grungy little venue known as Turbo Haüs that you will fall in love with as soon as you step inside (if you can find it in the labyrinth that is 1180 St-Antoine). Turbo Haüs doesn’t fuck around and will be showing movie screenings, comedy shows and of course musical acts. Also, Nick loves Michael Jackson. Finally, we had some power issues with our recording equipment, so there’s some annoying edit points towards the end of the episode. Deal with it.

We are so fucking ahead of the curve that right now Turbo Haüs doesn’t even have a Facebook page or anything, so if you want to go to any of the cool shows we talk about, you should better figure out a way to do it on your own.

Go Plug Yourself 29: Ben Roy

by on February 7, 2013 at 3:26 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

Denver’s Ben Roy who is clean and sober joined Walter and I at Grumpy’s and Walter wasn’t drinking. We’re more or less the worst hosts ever. By we I mean me. Anyhow, if you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing Ben Roy do his stand-up you’re missing out. He was in town for the weekend headlining at the Comedy Nest and stopped by to talk about elections, hockey, pot smoking, his (hopefully) upcoming web series, music and more. Ben was extremely animated and as a result accidentally muted his mic once or twice. Deal with it people.

Go Plug Yourself 28: Green Phantom

by on January 24, 2013 at 1:31 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

Listeners of the show are probably aware that Walter and I are big into the combined sport/art/performance that is pro-wrestling. Fans of 9to5 probably know that in general we’re all (except for Jon) a bunch of wrestling fans (just check out Sophie’s Halloween costume or this comic, or this one, or GPYS Special with Mick Foley) so you can imagine that we’re all very excited about this week’s guest: Green Phantom! The bona fide Hardcore Hero from our own lovely city of Montreal talks all things about being an indie pro-wrestling legend. Phantom talks about some ghastly injuries to his nether regions, how to set up a table if you’re about to throw someone through it, his shot at the WWE as well as some candid stories about the likes of Sabu and Jake the Snake Roberts. If you’re even slightly into wrestling, you owe it to yourself to give this episode a listen.

Go Plug Yourself 27: Michael Mando

You know that game Far Cry 3? Yeah, the one that everyone is super into and is getting amazing reviews and whatnot? You know the bad guy that did the ultra memorable “Definition of Insanity” monologue, Vaas? The same Vaas that people are saying is one of the most memorable villains in recent gaming? Not to mention that he’s on the cover of the game. Yeah, that’s Michael Mando and he was kind enough to sit down with us to talk about Far Cry 3, the process of becoming Vaas (both as a performer and from the more technical side of things), his upcoming projects and a messy run in with the law during the 5 Questions segment. Enjoy the show!

Go Plug Yourself 26: Alex Rose (Why Does It Exist?)

by on December 28, 2012 at 2:45 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

Man, this podcast is like a who’s-who of at least two Montreal based podcasts. After we showed up and brought our antics to Why Does It Exist? a few weeks ago, Alex showed up on our show to return the favour. One love podcasting yo, that’s what we’re all about. We talk about movies (of course), doing bath salts, John McAfee and how exactly Alex came to start his life long love affair with really, really terrible movies. We also talk quite a bit about pornography. In a tasteful way though. Enjoy!

By the way everyone, this is the last Go Plug Yourself of the year (as evidenced by the fact that this is December 28th) and consequently the last 9to5.cc podcast of the year as well. Thanks for a great year of podcasting everyone! See you in two weeks!

Go Plug Yourself 25: Richard Burnett

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

So the former writer of one of Montreal’s premiere LGBT/pop culture/plain old hilarious and interesting columns, “Three Dollar Bill” from the late, great, free indie paper The Hour joins us to talk about his new blog “Pop Tart” over at The Gazette. No, I’m just kidding. I mean, we do sort of talk about that but mostly we just sit back and enjoy what I’m sure is only the tip of the iceberg of Richard’s amazing stories. From tales of Nick Auf der Maur holding court at our very own Grumpy’s to setting up Plastik Patrick to get on stage with Cyndi Lauper (to say nothing of a story about the back of a dingy bar in Australia or a feud with a gay-bashing dance hall musician), Richard keeps the stories coming. If you enjoy anything about Montreal’s English indie press history listen to this episode right now.

Go Plug Yourself 24: John Fallon and Christian Viel (Billy Trigger)

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Movies, Podcast, Podcasting

Walter and I are very excited about you listening to this next episode. Most listeners probably know that Walter and I have more than a passing interest in indie low-budget films. So you can imagine our excitement when we booked bonafide indie film star John Fallon and award winning indie director Christian Viel to talk about their upcoming crime action film “Billy Trigger” (co-starring Fred “The Hammer” Williamson no less). Viel and Fallon talk about the process of making flicks by the skin of your teeth, working with Williamson and then things get… blue. Not blue in the sense of feeling sad, but blue in the sense of “Bleu Nuit”. Walter talks about his former life as a porn writer and John shares an amazing story about a girl dressed as a clown. We take pride in having our guests open up on Go Plug Yourself but this is a whole other level.
