by keith on May 3, 2018 at 7:03 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Up and coming Montreal comedian Vance Michel joins Walter and I to talk about wrestling. And comedy. But also wrestling. Montreal born, New York raised and then back to Montreal again, Vance talks about his views on horror movies, learning French and of course, wrestling. You know, we started a whole new podcast just to talk about wrestling and yet still, here we are, talking about wrestling on Go Plug Yourself. It is what it is. And what it is is the best podcast in Montreal. Damn right.

Montreal Roller Derby – Artoo & Why So Sirius – GPYS 154

by keith on April 19, 2018 at 6:44 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Two of the members of Montreal Roller Derby and part of the coaching staff of the 2017 Beast of the East champions, La Racaille, join Walter and I in preparation for next week’s Beast of the East roller derby tournament. Both Artoo and Sirius are members of Montreal’s WFTDA A team the New Skids on the Block in addition to their coaching duties of one of MTLRD’s home teams. We talk about how they came to play in Montreal and a whole lot of roller derby. For more information about the Beast of the East tournament, go here. And for tickets, go here. La Racaille will be looking to win their third consecutive Beast of the East championship (and fourth overall) next weekend, April 27-29th at Arena Mont Royal, 4365 Cartier St, Montreal QC, Canada.

Enjoy the show!

Little side note, I’m still getting the hang of the new audio interface and laptop setup, so Artoo and Sirius end up a lot louder than me. Which is fine, they’re the reason you’re listening anyways.

25 Things You Should Vote For on Cult MTL’s Best of Montreal 2018

by keith on April 10, 2018 at 4:32 pm

Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

It’s that time of year again. Time to vote for the Best of Montreal 2018. Where you vote for the best things in 2017? I guess.

Where the city of Montreal comes together and sends in votes to decide on the authoritative list of what is best in life. In Montreal.

Cult MTL’s “Best of Montreal” list comes to a close this Sunday night, which means you have between now and then to vote for your favorite things.

You need to vote in 25 categories for your vote to count, so in case you don’t have 25 of your own, I’m providing a handy list of 25 things I think are worthy of your votes!

Is this list heavily influenced by people who’ve been guests on our podcast? Yes.

If you DO have 25 things of your own, I sincerely hope that 9to5.cc and our podcasts are among them!

Get on over to CULT MTL now and Vote!

#3 Best Sports Personality

Pat Laprade is our vote here and he’s had a hell of a 2017. He released 2 books and also now co-hosts the Quebec French Language version of WWE’s Monday Night Raw. You know what? Give him #18 also as “Best TV Personality”.

#13, 14 and 15 Best Radio Station and Best Radio Show and Radio Show Host

CJLO and Danny Payne’s show The Pressure Drop are our choice here. CKUT is the closest thing we’ve got to real independent radio (sorry Bell Media and Virgin or whatever) and Danny Payne does a great job every week with The Pressure Drop (and also because Heather B doesn’t have a show in Montreal anymore).

#20 Best Newspaper

Now, I know it’s kind of self-serving, but the only newspaper that wrote about us this year was Cult MTL when they covered our 150^th Episode of Go Plug Yourself. So whatever, vote Cult MTL as the best newspaper.

#21 Best Website

It had better be this website. Please. 9to5.cc is all I live for. You can vote for us as Best Twitter and Instagram too, but that’s not really our thing.

#25 Best Podcast

With all due respect to 9ES and Pat on the Mat, Go Plug Yourself has been on the list for 6 years running. Please help keep that streak alive.

#25 Best Bartendar

Ram from Grumpy’s. Because he lets us record podcasts at the back and one day he will be a guest on Go Plug Yourself. We should get on that.

#28 and 29 Best Bar and Best Sleazy Bar

I don’t why there’s a distinction. Grumpy’s deserves to win both.

#33 Best Underground Venue

You know what? Even if they’re not around right now, they will be around soon. And they were around for most of 2017. Turbo Haus and Sergio get my vote.

#43 Best Comedian

You know that Walter J. Lyng and I have a podcast that has over 150 episodes right? That’s because I decided that I was only going to host a podcast with the BEST COMEDIAN IN MONTREAL.

#50 Best Band

Men I Trust has been absolutely my favorite discovery in local music of 2017, so they have my vote for Best Band this year.

#52 Freakiest Act

The Screaming Demons feature fake blood in their shows and all their songs are about horror movies, what more do you need to know?

#54 Heaviest Act

What the hell Cult MTL? You have “Best Electronic” and “Best Country” and “Best Jazz” and “Heaviest” but not “Best Punk”? Ripcordz get my vote here because Best Punk should absolutely be its own category.

#63 Best Actor

Mike Paterson. That guy’s voice is on TV like 10 times a day.

#64 Best Filmmaker

Adam Reider is the only filmmaker to have been on our show multiple times. He’s also the only filmmaker I know from Montreal.

#72 Best Cartoonist

Sophie! From our comic!

#77 Best Wrestler

My vote goes to Big Magic in large part because Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens don’t answer our phone calls.

#79 Best Wrestling Promotion

BATTLEWAR see above.

#83 Best Barber

Monthly Barbershop is how I keep my hair so fresh. It’s weird to me that I haven’t had Simon on the show to talk about that.

#107 Best Skate Shop

Low Life skate shop has my vote. Montreal’s only derby related skate shop.

#141 Best Burger

Chez Tousignant changed my life.

#165 and 166 Best Coffee Place and Best Coffee Beverage

Maybe because I’m not a teenager or a graphic designer and I don’t just endlessly hangout in coffee shops, my brain really doesn’t make the distinction. I go to the place with the best coffee. It’s the best coffee place. It’s Tunnel Espresso.

The Kingpins – Go Plug Yourself 136

by keith on July 27, 2017 at 6:48 am

Posted In: 77 Montreal, Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Podcast, Podcasting

If you would have told me as a teenager that I would be sitting down at a pub to talk about the ska scene with members of The Kingpins, I would have probably said something like “you deserve it.” I’m not going to lie, I was always pretty full of myself. But my mind also would have been a little blown. Lorraine and Jesse from legendary Montreal ska band The Kingpins join Walter and I to talk about the ska scene of Montreal’s past and their upcoming set at ’77 Montreal. Enjoy the show!

The Nasty Show is always a marquee event at Just for Laughs.

We were lucky enough to line up most of these comedians for a back to back podcast extravaganza! Godfrey, Robert, Yamaneika and Big Jay come and go as they please and we just keep the tape rolling! Enjoy the show!

Alex Rose Returns! – Go Plug Yourself 134

by keith on June 29, 2017 at 7:19 am

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

Montreal’s funniest* podcast is back with another fan favorite returning to the podcast airwaves: Al Lafrance! No wait, that was last week. This week yet ANOTHER fan favorite returns: Alex Rose! From Cult MTL! He watches a lot of movies. It’s not secret that Walter and I are movie buffs in our spare time, but Alex Rose is a professional movie buff. Reviewing almost every major release for Cult MTL on a weekly basis. We originally had him on to talk about the upcoming Fantasia Festival lineup, but as is the norm for our show, we just sort of shot the breeze and got carried away. Warning: We spoil a lot of movies and this podcast is over 80 minutes long. That just means there’s more for you to enjoy!

Alex is also repping a movie called “Radius” that will be having its world premiere at this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival!

*to us.

Go Plug Yourself 128: Tranna Wintour Returns

by keith on April 6, 2017 at 7:30 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Walter and I realized that it had been an awful long time since we talked a lot about Jennifer Lopez movies on the podcast. We also realized we had just the way to remedy it. Naturally, it was high time that we had Tranna Wintour return to the podcast under the pretense of promoting her ongoing movie screening show Trannavision (next show is Spice World by the way) but that quickly devolves into talking about JLo, Riverdale and soap operas. Because of course it does.

Go Plug Yourself 106: Alex Rose Finally Returns!

by keith on May 5, 2016 at 7:24 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Holy crap you guys, it’s been 80 episodes since we last had Alex Rose on the show! Since that time Alex has taken his cinephile antics to the next level as he presently serves as the Film & TV Editor over at Cult Mtl. Alex talks about all kinds of things, B list celebrities, probably the greatest way to wake up on a beach following an epic St-Jean Baptiste party and of course, our spot on the Best of Montreal.

What is our spot? Well, the print issue is out right now so you can find out there. Or you can listen to the episode, you know, one or the other. Eventually it will be online. Eventually.

More Shameless Picks for Best of Montreal (2016)

by keith on April 12, 2016 at 4:39 pm

Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

So last year, Go Plug Yourself was one of the Best Podcasts in Montreal, as voted by you, the loyal listeners. You know what really stuck in our craw? It came in behind Serial. Now, I’m pretty sure that’s not a podcast that is produced in, or even about, Montreal.

Hey, you know what the best Asian food I’ve had this year was? It was Momofuko noodle bar. I might as well just vote that. Oh wait, that’s in Toronto. But it doesn’t matter since apparently people in Montreal don’t care about things that are actually made in Montreal, they just vote for Serial.

But I digress.

Now that I’ve yelled at you, you should GO HERE and vote for the Best of Montreal 2016.

As always, in order for any of your votes to matter you need to vote in at least 25 categories. So, in the name of complete and total self-interest (and the interest of people who I’m personally interested in seeing succeed) I give you my 25 choices for what you should vote on in this year’s Cult Montreal Best of Montreal.

1) Best Sports Personality – Les Canadiennes de Montreal

That’s right, there’s no category for “Best Sports Team” for some reason, even though we’ve got several. But our CWHL team went to the finals this year and generally kicked ass. They should get some kind of recognition. In the form of a mention on a list in a free newspaper. They should get other recognition too, but this would be a good start.

2) Best Website – www.9to5.cc

I should not need to explain this. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

My Shameless Votes for Best of Montreal

by keith on March 17, 2015 at 9:34 am

Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

As you may know, one of our little podcats (Go Plug Yourself) was voted the #3 Podcast in Montreal this year. Walter is pretty adamant about getting number 1 and is threatening to shut the whole thing down if we don’t succeed. We’re not 100% sure what he’s talking about, but the threat seems pretty legitimate. Maybe he’s talking about shutting down the podcast, or maybe the website, or maybe the entire internet? Who knows? Either way, in order for any of your votes to matter you need to vote in at least 25 categories. So, in the name of complete and total self-interest (and the interest of people who I’m personally interested in seeing succeed) I give you my 25 choices for what you should vote on in this year’s Cult Montreal Best of Montreal.
