Viveth K – Go Plug Yourself Podcast 258

by on June 23, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Just for Laughs, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal comedy podcast that asks Viveth K: “Who was your childhood crush?” – asked by the cast of “The Adoption” (aka Eve Parker Finley, Nicky Fournier & Amanda McQueen) back in episode 257.

Hot off the heels of his appearance at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival (which I’m sure actually did make his mom proud) Viveth K is ramping up for his upcoming Zoofest OFFJFL show “True Things We Made Up” (alongside other Go Plug Yourself friends Serag Meletian and Tyler Lemco) this July 21st and 25th.

Viveth joins Chris Venditto and I to talk about that show, getting pulled over by racist cops, his plan for an extensive tattoo detailing the 2020 Lakers championship win and much, much more.

Finally, Chris and the other boys from Perfect Bite have an entire summer of laughs cooking and it keeps rolling on THIS Saturday June 25th at Café Cleopatra where Derek Seguin and Joey Elias double-headline the Summer Comedy Blockbuster. Get your tickets for that!

Enjoy the show and as always we are entertaining any and all offers from potential advertisers.

GPYS 250 – Matt Goldberg (Confabulation)

by on March 3, 2022 at 9:00 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks improvisor and storyteller Matt Goldberg: “Given the hard evidence that there is a God, would you have sex with God?” – asked of course by the incomparable Tyler Lemco in episode 249.

As I mention in the show it is absolutely insane to me that Matt Goldberg has never been a guest on this show before. I first met Matt back in college, which some listeners may be able to deduce was about 20 years ago. I’ve known Matt Goldberg for 20 years and have had a podcast for over 10 of those years and only now are we having him on as a guest? Insanity.

No wait, I saved him as a guest until this episode for a reason. I wanted our 250th to be special. Yeah, that’s why we’ve waited so long to do this.

I met Matt through improvisation and you may know him from one of Montreal’s premiere improv troupes “Uncalled For”. Uncalled For ruled the Montreal Improv scene with an iron fist for nearly a decade. Matt’s also a gifted storyteller, and several years ago began to produce Confabulation, a storytelling series (and podcast) here in Montreal and in Victoria. With a focus on true stories, without the help of props or gimmicks Confabulation is one of the most consistently honest and authentic theater going experiences you could ask for.

And it’s back! Confabulation has had a few virtual shows in the past few years but this Friday, March 3rd, marks Confabulation’s return to the Centaur Theater. “Confabulation Presents: Good Date, Bad Date” get your tickets here.

Tyler Lemco Returns! – GPYS 249

by 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.

Enjoy the show!

Wrestling With Walter J. Lyng – GPYS 230

by on April 15, 2021 at 6:08 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Walter J. Lyng is back on the Montreal podcast that has historically spends a lot of time talking about wrestling even though it’s not a wrestling podcast! We’re back baby!

Ladies and gentleman, our guest at this time is none other than Go Plug Yourself Hall of Famer: Walter J. Lyng!

If you are somehow tuning into the show for the first time you know that 80% of all of the hosts of Go Plug Yourself love wrestling (one guess on the 20% who doesn’t, hint, she passed on joining us for this episodes).

Considering that this past weekend was the 2nd Covid-19 edition of WrestleMania we thought it would be fun to bring back your friend and mine Walter to talk about the entire two night event and do a match by match breakdown of the festivities. It’s kind of like Pat on the Mat, minus Pat… and plus Lawrence and Chris.

Oh, it’s also the annual Cult MTL “Best of Montreal” readers poll right now and we would really appreciate it if you would kindly head over to Cult MTL and vote for Go Plug Yourself as your favorite Montreal podcast.

Enjoy the show!

Go Quarantine Yourself 3 (aka GPYS 205)

by on April 16, 2020 at 7:10 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

It’s episode 3 of Montreal’s favorite quarantine podcast! Go Quarantine Yourself (because you love your family)!

So I know last episode we said we were going to talk about our favorite TV shows but Inés lost her voice and Lawrence had to work SO we brought in the only man who could possibly step up to fill in for not one, but TWO co-hosts down: Walter J. Lyng bay-bay!

We talk about some television, we talk about some wrestling, we talk about some sports. Venditto’s computer dies so he’s not even a part of the last 15-20 minutes of the episode.

Can’t stop this pod!

Go Plug Yourself 200!

by on February 6, 2020 at 5:21 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

A live special edition of Go Plug Yourself featuring Inés Anaya, Lawrence Corber, Chris Venditto and musical guests Sweetheart Grip! Everyone came out to Turbo Haüs to give my beloved co-host Walter J. Lyng a fitting sendoff as he steps away from the full time co-host of this wonderful podcast.

A massive thank you to everyone who came out and of course to everyone who made this 200th episode special.

Walter is a wonderful friend, co-host, comedian and an amazing dad. Chris, if you’re reading this, just try to say something bad about this blurb I dare you.

We love you all, see you soon for episode 201.

We Are Monroe – GPYS 187 (Osheaga Special)

by on July 25, 2019 at 6:17 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that dares to as Montreal indie rock band We Are Monroe: Who do you wish was your dad?

We Are Monroe have big things planned in the next couple of months. Big things. They’re back in the studio with legendary producer Gus Van Go and a new album is in the works, but FIRST, they are playing the biggest party of the summer: Osheaga. Not only that, but they will be opening up for Kodaline and playing one of the official after parties on Friday night. Jason and Pat from the band join Walter and I to talk about road stories (Walter’s favorite), spending most of last year’s festival enjoying the perks of being an “on call” band and more.

Be sure to check out We Are Monroe the Perrier Tree Stage on Friday August 2nd at 2:20 at this year’s edition of Osheaga. And of course check out their official website, follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Enjoy the show kids!we are monroe

Scott Andrew Carter and Friends! – GPYS 181

by on May 2, 2019 at 6:00 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that dares to ask the question: What artist do you admire the most?

Scott Andrew Carter is our… let’s call him “main guest” this week because he’s the only one that managed to keep his headset on the entire episode. Sharing the other mic was Vance Michel and Shawn Stenhouse and I’m pretty sure Serag Meletian might jump in for a few quips here and there too. Hence “and Friends”.

A veritable who’s who of Ontario and Quebec based comedians just more or less degenerating into what may as well have been one of our holiday $#!t Shows.

Enjoy!
