9ES318: Giga Banger

by on September 6, 2024 at 8:54 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

If the hosts of 9ES were stranded on the International Space Station because they were Boeing Starliner astronauts hearing strange pinging noises outside of the airlock there would literally be only one person we would want to be stranded with.

 

You can also better believe that we would keep doing the podcast from space. “The 9to5 Entertainment System: IN SPACE” has a nice ring to it.

 

I hope that when the three of us are in our 80s space tourism has advanced to the point where it’s feasible that we can make the dream of podcasting this show from space a reality. Stay tuned for episode 1320 – where we are in space.

 

I really wish there was a version of the introduction to Chinese Grand Finals of League of Legends where there wasn’t a streamer talking over it for you to appreciate the full majesty of the pageantry involved, but I couldn’t find one. I barely looked, but I still couldn’t find one. There are people in robes making special hand signs, a full orchestra, the trophy descending from the sky like Shawn Michaels… it’s spectacular.

 

I think the only thing that would make it better would be if the players themselves took to the stage wearing special team coloured robes as they took the stage. But no – they are just in special track suits.

 

Make it more like wrestling please.

 

All that to say it’s the time of year where Jon is watching highly competitive League of Legends and we do our best to try and contextualize why it’s cool. The back half of this episode is dominated by breaking down the gigabangers of the League Of Legends North American LCS Finals this past week.

 

GIGABANGERS.

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time… there is no Garbage Time! Due to scheduling and Scott maybe having Covid-19 we couldn’t get a GT in for your listening pleasure. Instead we’ve re-uploaded one of our very first hard-to-find episodes: 9ES Episode 7 – Our Tabletop Gaming Origin Stories. I listened to about 5 minutes of this episode and the audio quality and the general lack of quality all around is pretty cringe. There’s a good amount of toot-talk right off the top. That’s why it’s behind a paywall. Subscribe and find out just how bad it is! If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

Palomosa 2024 Podcast (Unofficial)

by on August 28, 2024 at 11:49 pm
Posted In: Homepage, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

Oh snap there’s another music festival left this summer! Palomosa makes its debut in 2024 as an official sendoff to the summer!

Palomosa is next week!

So, just like we did for Osheaga Sarah and I are introducing the first ever edition of our Unofficial Palomosa Podcast.

Sarah and I will be dug into the entire lineup of the inaugural Palomosa to give you music recommendations across both days of the festival. We’ve picked 5 acts from Palomosa and will be talking about them and playing clips of their songs to give you a feel for their music and why we think they’ll be an amazing show.

But wait – you don’t need us to tell you why you should probably check out Gesaffelstein and Kali Uchis now do you? So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the headliner of each day of the lineup. If you’re into electronica trust us, this lineup is pretty damned stacked, you’ll wanna get there early.

Here are our 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Palomosa this year and a song we love from the artist:

Ladyfest 2024 w/ Abby Stonehouse & Alo Azimov – GPYS 302

by on August 28, 2024 at 11:14 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks Abby Stonehouse and Alo Azimov of Ladyfest: What is a quote that inspires you? That question asked by Sloan Kooshan and Dawn McSweeney back in episode 301.

First of all, once again I need to mention that we recorded this episode remotely. So apologies if the audio levels are a little all over the place.

Ladyfest is returning to Montreal once again in 2024 and once again there is almost an entire week of Ladyfestivities for you to enjoy! Abby Stonehouse and Alo Azimov join Walter and I to talk about all things Ladyfest, tornadoes and finding your audience. For more information about the entire Ladyfest lineup do yourself a favour and check out Ladyfest.ca.

Abby Stonehouse does a million things around town and online (like the House of Stone Podcast) and is currently one of the head ladies of Ladyfest. Alo Azimov performs and produces all over Montreal as well and has been a part of Ladyfest since the very start. Both Abby and Alo are Ladyfest and comedy veterans and are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the shows going down next week.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the show and be sure to check out Ladyfest 2024! Go Plug Ladyfest everyone!

9ES317: Three Towers

by on August 22, 2024 at 9:08 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

When you watch the film “Twisters” you will notice that basically a town gets leveled by one of the titular Twisters just about every single day. I think the movie takes place in the span of about a week but who knows? Anyways, I found it kind of jarring that a town gets wiped off the map by a tornado and what seems to be a town away is still having their little rodeo or little league game or whatever.

 

Where is the fear of the twisters!?

 

We spend a good chunk of the movie talking about “Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego?” and this is the video that we reference in the show from DefunctLand. I even went back and watched a full episode on YouTube and honestly it really holds up as a kids gameshow and hot damn does that theme song slap. Scott’s not kidding either: Rockapella has released 19 albums since 1986, as recently as 2019.

 

Finally, one of us finally watched Deadpool and Wolverine. The movie has made over a billion dollars and is still performing well. It raked in over $30 million dollars domestic on its fourth week in theaters. Meanwhile Borderlands is getting yanked from theaters and going straight to VOD this week.

 

Remember kids: Make good movies.

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time… we talk about the Montreal Canadiens trading for Patrick Laine. The amount of times Garbage Time becomes a secret sports podcast is kind of hilarious to me. To counterbalance things we talk about some movies that we’ve seen recently although I couldn’t tell you which ones since I didn’t take them down in my notes and I have the memory of a goldfish. Subscribe and find out!  If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

Sloan Kooshan & Dawn McSweeney – GPYS 301

by on August 14, 2024 at 11:02 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks Sloan Kooshan & Dawn McSweeney: Where would you travel next? And: What’s the most definitive art piece that you enjoy? Those questions asked by Daniel Glick and Evelyne Côté in our Osheaga Special Episode.

On this week’s episode Sarah and I are talking to Sloan Kooshan and Dawn McSweeney about the upcoming SWANA Comedy Show at La Poubelle Magnifique on August 25th at 8 pm. This edition of the SWANA Comedy Show is more than just comedy—it’s a fundraiser for Palestine. All proceeds will go towards The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund, an organization dedicated to providing critical medical attention to the children of Gaza. For more information on the fund or to make a donation there directly head to https://gabusittahchildrensfund.org or better yet come out to the show and make a donation in person!  This edition of the SWANA Comedy Show is produced as part of Forget the Box’s “Your Show Here” community initiative.

We talk to Sloan about his origin as comedian, the differences between audiences here and in Europe, finding your audience, the difficulties of being a “good” political comedian and much, much more! It’s also our first round of the NEW questions in our 5 Questions Segment! How did we come up with these new questions? Well you should probably go back and listen to Episode 300 if you haven’t already.

For more information about the SWANA Comedy Show check out the Facebook Event.

9ES316: Laughing At Professionals

by on August 8, 2024 at 9:59 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

I guess it’s an election year so politics is going to creep into our podcast more and more until November. This time we talk about the Right Wing getting really mad that France did “The Last Supper” in drag and how “Republicans are Weird” is now a trend.

 

Let’s see if we can look at a quote and determine if it was spoken by a sitting Senator or a 5th Grader:

“They called us weird so I’ll call them weirder.”

 

Of course it’s a Senator – that would be Marco Rubio. Both side pointing fingers at each other and going “you’re weird” is where we’re at in politics I guess.

 

Anyhow, Jon finally watched The Flash which means for some reason that I can’t really explain we have now all watched The Flash. That means it’s time to rank that bad boy on the list!

 

Finally we close things off talking about how Marvel has pivoted away from Kong towards Doctor Doom by casting Rober Downey Jr. as Victor Von Doom. Will it work? Who knows? Does anyone care? Yes. Lots of people. The people who listen to this podcast.

 

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time… we talk a LOT about Star Wars. In all of its many Star Shapes and Star Sizes. Keith watched all 4 hours and change of Jenny Nicholson’s take down of “Galactic Starcruise” (aka The Star Wars Hotel), Scott watched The Acolyte and there’s probably some other Star Wars stuff in there too. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

Osheaga Podcast 2024 (Unofficial) – Comedown Edition

by on August 6, 2024 at 5:20 pm
Posted In: Homepage, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

That’s a wrap on Osheaga 2024. It’s over. 🙁

We can all go back to our lives now and try to cling to the memories of Osheaga as they fade away like dimming stage lights. Sarah and I took in an absurd amount of bands this year and managed to drag our tired asses over to the Ed Banger 20th Anniversary Party on Saturday night like complete lunatics (watching a back-to-back set of Busy P and Tiga took my right back to my 20s).

Osheaga flew by this year – probably because there was barely a minute between acts we wanted to catch. It was like we got into the gate on Friday afternoon and a long blink later we were cheering for the closing moments of Justice. We saw so many bands and now is the time where we run through the schedule and share our takes with you. Who was awesome? Who sucked? Who are we excited to see next time they come to town? Listen now!

Anyways, this is it until next year family. At least for Osheaga. There’s still plenty of concerts that you can and should be going to all year long between now and then.

Osheaga 2025 takes place August 1st to August 3rd next year and we’ll see you all there!

Go Plug Yourself 300!! w/ Alex Rose

by on July 31, 2024 at 4:42 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that would win every single “I Quit” match because we’ve been around for 13 years and we’re not going anywhere baby!

Look, I’m fully aware that this isn’t actually episode 300 – that milestone quietly came and went probably sometime back in 2023. But we didn’t put a number on every episode of “Go Quarantine Yourself” during the pandemic, we don’t put numbers on the Shit Shows for the most part and whenever we just catch up with the hosts we don’t usually attach an official number to those episodes either. So whatever man – it counts! 300 more!

We recorded this one live (pal) as a part of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival that has been running for the past week and a half and it was a blast. We had friend of the show Alex Rose come on to talk a little about the Fantasia Festival as it enters it’s final weekend and Walter J. Lyng and Lawrence Corber joined me for all the fun at Hurley’s.

Important Podcast News:We updated the questions for 5 Questions! Finally! That means that starting in episode 301 we’ll have a new set of questions to bother our guests with at the end of each episode!

Enjoy the show!
