9ES 264: Joy Division and Otis Redding

by keith on June 30, 2022 at 6:28 am

The Montreal podcast that can look at the downfall of civilization and say: “Yes, but what about Clown Core?”

Look, we’re not going to sit here and pretend that there isn’t a grievous step backwards in human rights going on with our neighbours to the South. We know it’s happening. You know it’s happening. It’s gross and frankly despicable on every possible level.

However, what we are going to do is acknowledge that:

You probably don’t need 3 straight white guys telling you about women’s reproductive rights
Our show is probably better suited to being a silly distraction than a grim reminder of the horrors of humanity.

That said: Please familiarize yourself with Clown Core. Go ahead. We’ll wait. If you’re debating clicking that link let it be known that the whole “album” (titled of course simply “Van”) is only about 17 minutes long.

Anyways, Scott and I have both watched the Obi-Wan Kenobi show in Disney+ and have mixed takes and we also debate where exactly the original “Little Shop of Horrors” sits in the grand horror pantheon.

The Sex Pistols are one of those acts that everyone knows about, everyone has an opinion about and are kind of difficult to ignore for their role as one of the most important bands of the last 50 years. That said, Danny Boyle’s “Pistol” is pretty much a must-watch. We dig into the Sex Pistols history and legacy too.

We also find time for Dr. Strange, The Boys and how none of us have seen Top Gun yet because we’re afraid of being duped into joining the Navy. Listen, I’m as opposed to the industrial military complex as the next guy but who can deny that Danger Zone slaps?

Meanwhile in Garbage Time, we continue to talk about Obi-Wan and Star Wars because we’re huge nerds but we also talk about how Vince McMahon is an absolutely monster. Head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

9ES263: Podcasting Geniuses

by jorn on June 16, 2022 at 9:32 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

I wonder if the real creator of Chip n’ Dale never got his due the same way that Bob Kane ripped off Bill Finger?

If you go up to someone on the street and ask them who created Chip and Dale, they would answer “Disney.” I guess the implication would be that it was old man Walt himself.

Holy shit. They were created by another Bill. Bill Justice (how was that a real name) created Chip and Dale in 1943. From the looks of it they were his main notable creation too. Sure we worked on a bunch of other super memorable cartoons and even Disney park rides I think old Chip and Dale are the only things that he created from the ground up.

While I’m thinking about animated chipmunks I need to tip my hat to Ross Bagdasarian (aka David Saville) for really ripping off Disney and making bank off a good idea.

So as far back as their first appearance in 1943 in “Private Pluto” Chip and Dale had that “chipmunk voice.” Sure it was gibberish and not English but it 100% sets up what we think a chipmunk sounds like when it speaks.

15 years later. It’s 1958 and enter Ross Bagdasarian who then takes “chipmunk voice” and records “Witch Doctor” for which he got a Grammy nomination. Later that year he releases “The Chipmunk Song” which paves the way for the Alvin and The Chipmunks.

I feel like if that happened today there would 100% be a lawsuit from The Mouse.

Meanwhile in Garbage Time, Jon and Keith were killed in a single round of Dungeons & Dragons and they put all of the blame on the Dungeon Master. We talk about when you should kill a party in an RPG and how maybe you shouldn’t kill a whole party in an RPG.If all that sounds like the best (because it is), 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!

9ES262: High Quality Slime

by jorn on June 2, 2022 at 8:00 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

You know, it’s kind of a bummer that it is here in episode 262 of our little podcast that we collectively realize that we’ve been wasting our time podcasting instead of producing slime like the people over at PeachyBbies.

Their website asks that you “Join the Movement”. I guess that could be a joke about how their slime wiggles but more likely it is an earnest call to action. Join the PeachyBbies movement everyone and take us to a brave new world filled with delicious smelling non-toxic slime with some plastic crap floating around in it.

We live in the future!

I guess it’s kind of a good thing that 9ES didn’t skyrocket to popularity all those years ago when we started or otherwise there would be a chance that we would have become some kind of small business. If that was the case we would maybe have to shut down our podcast since it was English because of Bill 96.

There’s a school in Kirkland that just announced they are adding a Grade 12 to their program so that students can now circumvent the new language laws governing CEGEPs and that’s kind of cool at least. When there’s a will there’s a way but the will is probably to just move to Ontario.

Keith gets a brand new movie to watch for “Best Movie Ever” and he might only be able to properly review it using the keyboard of his phone.

Meanwhile in Garbage Time, the boys talk about the magic of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl going on otherworldly runs during the Stanley Cup playoffs, AEW’s Double or Nothing (which had not happened at the time of recording) and Keith urges you all to once again watch Yellowjackets.If all that sounds like the best (because it is), 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!

9ES261: Rise From Her Grave

by jorn on May 19, 2022 at 1:17 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

There is nowhere else you need to go to find hot takes about Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress than a podcast from Montreal featuring 3 white dudes born in the 80s.

We are literally the only people on the planet qualified to talk about this issue.It does beg the question though: Is Napoleon’s uniform more historically important than the dress worn by Marilyn Monroe while she sang “Happy Birthday” to JFK?

Can an article of clothing even be that historically significant?

This is why you listen to this podcast.

Just because it can be written out here to increase the chances of people seeing it: Man the Toronto Maple Leafs are ridiculous.

2005-2012 = zero playoff appearances
2013 = “It was 4-1…” Leafs rally back from a 3-1 deficit in the series against the Bruins and take a 4-1 lead in Game 7… then lololol
They miss the next 3 years of playoffs
2017 = They take a 2-1 series lead against the Caps and then lose 3 games in a row to the Caps.
2018 = Here come the Bruins again! Down 3-1 in the series again, the Leafs win game 5 and 6 to push another Game 7! Oh no!
2019 = The Bruins, again? The Leafs are UP 3-2 in the series… just one more win to get out of the 1st round! Nope. Drop 2 in a row.
2020 = Honorary mention: The 8th place Leafs lose to the 9th place Blue Jackets in the 5 game qualifying round, of course they pushed it to 5 games and lost in the 5th.
2021 = The most beautiful collapse of all really… Leafs blow a 3-1 series lead and lose to the Habs in 7.
2022 = Another 1st round exit in 7 games… despite being up 3-2. Dropping 2 games in a row and still not getting out of the first round.

So if you count the play-in round of 2020… since 2013 they are an incredible 0-10 when they have the opportunity to win and send a team home.

That’s absurd.

Meanwhile in Garbage Time, Keith talks about Rich Aucoin’s incredible live show at Ursa in Montreal and the Shudder Exclusive Series “Cursed Films” and Scott takes another few shots at how old Mike Smith is just for good measure. We also talk about how good that Weird Al biopic might be.

Go Plug Yourself 255 Mega Show!

by keith on May 12, 2022 at 3:49 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that started it all celebrates it’s 250th episode right here in episode 255!

So normally every 50 episodes we use a nice big round number as an excuse to do a live episode with some mixed degrees of success. The last time we did this it was February 2020 for episode 200 and Walter’s supposed retirement from co-hosting.

Since then he’s probably co-hosted at least as many episode as Inés, maybe more. Also since then some shit went down.

Anyways, this episode is one part what episode 250 should have been PLUS one part holiday shit show MINUS actually doing a live a show in front of an audience. You get it.

We got ALL the Go Plug Yourself co-hosts together in person to ramble on for a good 30 to 40 minutes and then take care of the only actual business of the episode. That’s right, we have new questions for our guests. Inés, Walter, Lawrence and Chris all have a jam packed summer of shows coming up so do yourself a favor and follow them on every single social media platform that exists. Enjoy the show!

Chris Venditto is another funny person in Montreal who you can see all over the place and if you don’t want to miss him take the stage you should follow him on all the socials. He’s @chrisvenditto on Twitter and Instagram so you should follow him on those two things. He also produces shows with the guys at Perfect Bite Productions who you should also follow on Instagram and on Facebook.

Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on 9to5 (illustrated), co-hosts our two podcasts: The 9to5 Entertainment System and Go Plug Yourself and sometimes blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.

Inés Anaya never stops finding ways to be funny: writing for Hindwing Press and The Beaverton, running shows like Stand Up Story Slam and getting on the mic at comedy shows all over the city when it is legally possible to do so. The best way to keep track of what she’s up to next is on Instagram @clout__atlas

Lawrence Corber also produces some shows you may have heard of (you should probably check out the next Healthy Living show when you get a chance) and if you’re close with him you can call him Lully. The other way to call him “Lully” is to follow him on his socials. @Lully514 on Instagram.

9ES260: 150 Million Years Of Solitude

by jorn on May 5, 2022 at 11:29 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that takes a little bit longer to figure out when Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus were alive than you might expect is back. Dinosaur facts!

(More dinosaur facts: I misspelled both “Tyrannosaurus” and “Stegosaurus” while typing them! Feel free to guess how.)

At a certain point in this episode Scott posits that CM Punk is one of the most recognizable wrestlers currently actively wrestling. Listen, Keith owns 4 pieces of wrestling merch and 3 of them are CM Punk branded so you would think he would be ready to avidly agree, but he does not.

Let’s turn to Twitter to measure the global reach of currently active wrestlers even though, as we discuss in this episode, many of these followers might be fake. The Top 4 that we posit have global recognition of active wrestlers are: Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and CM Punk. Let’s see how many followers they have:

Ronda Rousey: 3.4 Million followers
CM Punk: 2.7 Million followers
Brock Lesnar: 1.4 Million followers
Roman Reigns: 4.6 Million followers

Brock is probably hurting since he hasn’t tweeted since 2020 but that’s still a pretty big case for Roman Reigns. A picture of him that he tweeted on April 30th holding the belts had 500 comments, 2000 retweets and 17,000 likes. Nobody else on that list gets close to those numbers.

Then again, he works for a company that his piped in cheers over stadium speakers to try to make it look like people were actually cheering for him a few years ago so maybe this entire exercise has been pointless.

I think it’s also worth noting that Ronda is an absolute abysmal follow on Twitter.

Garbage Time returns this week since we’re all healthy and we reward you for your patience with an extra-long edition of it! A meandering conversation that includes Scott’s takes on “The Batman” and trying to figure out just who “El Muerto” is in the Marvel Universe. No, not the one in the DC Universe. Not sure who we’re talking about? He’s getting a Sony produced movie starring Bad Bunny so you will find out soon!

9ES259: Egg

by jorn on April 23, 2022 at 4:28 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that revels in the celebration of a man-sized bunny stashing eggs around the house is back for episode 259.

We speculate a little here that Easter Bunny might be a pagan thing, but nope, it’s rooted in one of the weird corners of Christianity after all::

“The hare was a popular motif in medieval church art. In ancient times, it was widely believed (as by Pliny, Plutarch, Philostratus, and Aelian) that the hare was a hermaphrodite. The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary, with hares sometimes occurring in illuminated manuscripts and Northern European paintings of the Virgin and Christ Child.”

Speaking of figures of legend, Keith found out about “Let Me Solo Her” over the weekend so we spend a little bit of time talking about Elden Ring and the strange tradition of brave players in their underwear fighting bosses by themselves.

We do a pretty good job of explaining why this player is a huge badass but so does this guy on YouTube.

I find the idea of these video game based tiny folk heroes kind of fascinating, and unlike the staged variety (Leeroy Jenkins), Let Me Solo Her is an honest to goodness (video game) hero. Showing up in other people’s games with a pot on his head and helping players defeat the hardest boss in the game.

That shit’s cool man.

Unfortunately, there is no Garbage Time this week. As you can probably tell during the episode Jono is feeling a little below the weather and Scott is just all the way not on the show. We’ll think of something to make it up to you. If you still want to show your support and check out past episodes of Garbage Time then head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier.

Tyler Lemco Returns! – GPYS 249

by keith on February 18, 2022 at 5:32 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal’s favorite arts, entertainment and comedy podcast is back and asks Tyler Lemco: If you could go back in time and tell yourself to purposefully make a mistake, what would it be? That question was asked by Esteban Vargas back in episode 248.

Tyler Lemco is a Montreal icon.

Tyler Lemco is a Montreal icon in Mexico.

Tyler is down in Mexico for the next little while since he heard that a bunch of truckers would be blasting their horns here in Canada. He joins Chris Venditto and I to talk about food, flirting without a common language, Lemco Day and whether or not he would be safer in unfamiliar parts of the world with or without his brother.

Tyler is pretty much a kind of comedy renaissance man, performing standup, writing sketches, appearing on talk shows, DJing and starring in content all over the world wide web.

Do yourself a favor and follow the good Doctor Tyler Lemco on Twitter @tlemco and Instagram @tlemco to keep up to date with all of his insights and life lessons.

GPYS Annual $#!t Show 2021!

by keith on January 6, 2022 at 5:39 am

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

For 2021 we kept things a little more low key than usual for our annual shit show. I think 4 people is tied with our smallest previous shit show but I’m too lazy to go back into the expansive GPYS archives to verify that claim. Why? Well, if you haven’t noticed the entire province (nay country, nay planet) is a bit of shit show right now so in a way, maybe this is the biggest shit show ever?

Walter, Lawrence, Chris and I have a few drinks, spark a few joints and let hot takes fly with abandon. We talk pandemic, steaks, waiters, New Year’s specials and more as we try to stay positive about what 2022 might have in store for us and decide what we want to leave behind in 2021.

With everything shut down it does beg the question about what our next episode will be. Will it be another episode of “Go Quarantine Yourself” or will there be something to plug for the traditional “Go Plug Yourself”? Who knows man. In these unprecedented, uncertain times the only way to have any kind of certainty is to LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BABY.

Go Quarantine Yourself: SPORTS (and Succession) (GPYS 246)

by keith on December 24, 2021 at 12:26 pm

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that is back in isolation returns to talk about sports.

As Chris Venditto continues his mission to work his way into sports talk radio we bring back “Go Quarantine Yourself” to talk about sports and Succession.

This is a fun, free wheeling conversation between myself and Venditto that spans the wide world of sports during a pandemic. We talk (obviously) about the resurgence of Covid-19 that has rendered a show about plugging other shows a little useless, discuss whether or not any athletes should go to the Olympics (probably not), review what 2021 has been like for our beloved Montreal Canadiens and then dig into one of the best television shows on the air right now: Succession.

Stay tuned for our next episode which will of course be our annual holiday sh!t show. Were we looking forward to getting together in person to get drunk and ramble on mic for an hour? Of course we were. But it looks like we will probably be recording this year’s edition remotely… again.

Stay safe everyone. Support local business and local artists and all that so that we have all of those wonderful things when this thing is finally over.

*sigh*
