GPYS 338: Walter J. Lyng Headlines Comedy Nest!

by on June 24, 2026 at 3:28 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

In case you haven’t heard the co-founder of Go Plug Yourself Mister Walter J. Lyng himself is headlining the Comedy Nest for the first time ever this Sunday June 28th at 8 pm, he’s also turning 40! To celebrate we bought a train ticket for the one and only Inés Anaya to come back to Montreal to help celebrate this historic confluence of events. We also paid for Troy Stark’s travel arrangements to come to Grumpy’s all the way from NDG. We did neither of these things. The four of us got together to catch up, talk about Walter’s 20 years of comedy and of course Taskmaster.

Head to ComedyNest.com to get your tickets to On Da Clock Presents Walter Lyng this Sunday, June 28th and Go Plug Yourself.

Enjoy the show!

9ES365: YEAR ONE

by on June 21, 2026 at 5:43 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

So Sarah broke her leg pretty badly a few weeks ago so we kick this episode off with our first hand experiences with the Quebec healthcare system. You know, the Quebec healthcare system that Scott works for? I guess we’re kind of experts on the subject.

 

You heard it here first, this podcast is a medical drama now.

 

Against my better judgement I watched about 10 minutes of UFC Freedom 250 (it was in between periods of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final). It was… something else. From some jackass yelling “Michelle Obama is a man” to chants of “Fuck Him Up!” ringing out across the White House lawn it was pure Idiocracy.

 

Meanwhile, Danhausen is an actual dark magician and the Knicks win the big NBA award trophy thanks to his dark powers. If I asked you, what is the name of the NBA Championship trophy, what would you guess? I’m sure Scott knows the answer. I had to look it up. It’s technically the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy. You heard it here first.

 

Keith is almost done with Euphoria Season 3 and it’s a heck of a left turn. It’s honestly pretty good, but has almost nothing to do with the first two seasons. It’s kind of like in Season 8 of Archer when they’re suddenly in 1947 Los Angeles. It’s got the same characters but it also really has very little to do with everything that came before.

 

Over on Garbage Time Jon makes the argument that The Matrix should probably be at the very top of The List and he might be right. It (along with Alien) could definitely jump a few spots. We finish things off talking about whether or not Ridley Scott is a fraud and close off with Scott’s recent viewing of The Thing as a family affair.

Osheaga Podcast 2026 (Unofficial) – Saturday Part 2

by on June 20, 2026 at 12:05 am
Posted In: Homepage, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

Osheaga 2026 is 42 days away!

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2026! We’re into June already and that means it’s time to take a look at Saturday’s lineup

(More or less) every two weeks Sarah and I have been digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We pick ten acts from each day, we talk about them, play clips of their tunes to give you a feel for their music and tell you why we think they’re worth checking.

As always we’ll be listening to music and talking about some of our favorite acts all summer long.

If you’re like us you might have heard of some of the bigger acts headlining each day of the festival but it’s hard to be familiar with the entire lineup. We’re here to make discoveries and let you know about some of the acts a little further down the lineup. So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup.

Trust us, if you listen to all of these episodes you might find yourself running back and forth between stages all weekend and discovering your new favourite artists.

Here is our second batch of 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Saturday:

Go Plug Yourself Rewind: Amy Blackmore 2021

by on June 12, 2026 at 10:47 pm
Posted In: Fringe, Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

So normally this time of year Sarah and I would be interviewing a bunch of artists performing at the Montreal Fringe Festival and up until last Wednesday I promise you: that was the plan.

Then, unfortunately, Sarah took a bad fall on a bike path while heroically saving a child and broke her leg pretty badly. 10 days in the hospital later she’s finally home and the Montreal Fringe Festival is in full swing but we’re not doing much of anything except for rehabilitating Sarah’s leg.

So that means for the first time in a long time, we won’t be Fringing this year.

It got me thinking: When was the last time we didn’t Fringe?

Oh right, that pesky pandemic.

Lawrence Corber and I sat down remotely in April 2021 with Amy Blackmore pretty much a full year into the pandemic.  So let’s take a trip down memory lane and enjoy that chat from 2021, shall we?

The Montreal Fringe Festival is in full swing and runs until June 21st, head to montrealfringe.ca for tickets and showtimes.

9ES364: Beef Producers

by on June 7, 2026 at 12:03 am
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

There’s more than a few photos kicking around of Brendan Gallagher, Andrei Markov and Tomas Plekanec all together on the Habs. They were all on the team from 2012 when Gallagher got called up to Markov’s departure at the end of the 2016-2017 season. All three of those guys played over 900 games for the bleu-blanc-rouge. I feel like only Markov has a real chance of having his number up in the rafters and even then I wouldn’t consider it a lock.

 

All the same Brendan Gallagher is certainly a player who I think most Habs fans will remember fondly for a very long time.

 

Pretty sure it’s the right time to move on, the team is younger and poor Gally is just not going to be a part of whatever the final form of this roster looks like. Still I can be a little sad about a guy who has often been described as “the heart and soul” of the team no longer wearing the CH.

 

Plus during the pandemic he did some genuinely funny tiktok videos. Even if they’re just lip-synching to scenes from TV shows that’s still more personally than we see from 99% of hockey players.

 

He posted one when they were going into the weird hockey bubble set to the Hunger Games theme song that I can’t find and that was extremely funny.

 

Anyways, apparently screw worms are coming to America this summer. I guess look it up on the internet if you want to get extra grossed out.

 

Scott and Jon both watched Ron Howard’s 2015 movie about Moby Dick In The Heart of the Sea and it seemed that they both were pretty mixed on the whole thing.

 

Finally, Scott still really, really hates Andor. You’d think it starred Matt Damon or something.

 

Over on Garbage Time we talk about how crazy it is that Marvel and DC still work month to month and pay artists and writers by the page when they’re now controlled by monstrous entities like Disney and Warner Bros. We then discover that there is SO MUCH MORE Walking Dead than you think there is.

9ES363: Nimble And It’s Weird

by on May 24, 2026 at 11:35 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

It’s a pretty big shame that we didn’t fantasy book how Ronda Rousey would fare in the Mortal Kombat tournament. There was such an obvious throughline between the MMA talk, Brock Lesnar and Mortal Kombat II and it was right there in front of us.

 

Shame.

 

Would Ronda Rousey last more than 17 seconds against Baraka or Goro? Of course not. She essentially only has one move and good luck catching a guy with knife-hands in an armbar. Would Goro even care if you caught one of his four beefy arms in an armbar? Probably not.

 

You know who might do well in Mortal Kombat? Victor Wembanyama. We talk a little about “The Alien”, who is 7’4″ with a nearly 8 foot wingspan from fingertip to fingertip. If you’ve got 20 minutes you can watch the full video of 60 highlights but I’ve timestamped number 9 to give you an idea of how weird this guy moves compared to just about anybody else who’s ever played basketball.

 

Anyways, all that to say Scott saw Mortal Kombat II over the weekend and we’re pleased to report that it continues and maybe even improves upon 2021’s excellent reboot of the series. Injecting Carl Urban into any franchise is a surefire winner I always say.

 

Finally, we’ve got a very special episode of Garbage Time for you this week where we talk a LOT about 2007’s Ghost Rider starring Nicholas Cage. This movie is basically everything you could possibly want from a film where Nicholas Cage plays a stuntman who’s head catches on fire who rides a motorcycle and hunts down demons and bad guys. Oh and he also drinks jellybeans out of a martini glass. There is just no way that was in the script. That’s pure Cage baby. Enjoy.

Tom Murphy – GPYS 336

by on May 13, 2026 at 9:38 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks Montreal comedian Tom Murphy: What’s your favourite Disney movie? That question asked, of course, by Oren Shbiro back in episode 334.

On this week’s episode we welcome Tom Murphy to the show. Tom hosts what he describes as an old school open mic at Ye Olde Orchard on Monkland every Sunday night at 8 pm where anybody can show up, grab the mic and show off whatever they’ve got. Tom’s also moving away in a few months so this might be his first and last time on Go Plug Yourself.

Tom Murphy, we barely knew you. Walter J. Lyng and Chris Venditto are on to co-host this one and Troy Stark jumps on a few times as well.

Keep tabs on whatever Tom is doing in Montreal and beyond when he soon moves away by following him on Instagram @tomdlmurphy – listen, he’s only like 19 followers away from hitting 1000 followers so let’s get him there, ok?

Enjoy the show and Go Plug Yourself –

9ES362: False Prophets

by on May 11, 2026 at 11:41 pm
Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

If you have not been following hilarious drama surrounding The Onion’s attempt to purchase InfoWars then you’re missing out. Look, it’s even being reported on the BBC.

Something that I did not actually know about InfoWars is that Alex Jones thinks of himself as a kind of prophet. Well, at least Tucker Carlson thinks so.

“He’s channeling something, I’ve asked him about it. ‘How did you do that?’ At length, during dinner on my barn recently. We’re talking about this. ‘How’d you do that?’ ‘I don’t know. It just came to me.’ And that’s real. That is real. The supernatural is real and I don’t know why it’s hard for for the modern mind, I guess because it’s a materialist mind to accept that.”

“That’s not a new phenomenon. It’s happened throughout history. There are people called prophets, and there are people who were prophets who weren’t called prophets, but there are people who have information or parts of information, bits of information, visions of information come to them and then they relay it.”

We’re in the wrong business, kids.

Anyways, we talk a little about some upcoming horror flicks, namely Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil and Mike Flanagan’s Clayface, both of which have trailers that are out now.

We kick things off by talking about the unlikely Game 7 victory of the Montreal Canadiens over the Tampa Bay Lightning but I promise you we get good and nerdy after that’s out of the way.

On this week’s Garbage Time we talk about how and why Eurotrip practically killed an entire film genre (and here’s the link the video that I reference), Jon watched Crank: High Voltage which leads to a deep dive into Jason Statham’s career and we wrap things up with, you guessed it, more hockey talk because the Habs are still in the playoffs and 66% of us love ourselves some hockey!
