Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that is proud to plug our own Lawrence Corber’s upcoming album recording “Lully” is giving you a free master class in recording a comedy album!

Walter J. Lyng, Troy Stark and now Lawrence Corber (Lully to his friends) have all been working on comedy albums in 2024 and we’re lucky enough to have all three of them on this show to (mostly) talk about just that. Honestly if you’re a fan of comedy at all you owe it to yourself to listen to this episode. It’s one part round-table discussion and one part shooting the shit by three of Montreal’s best comedians so it doesn’t get much better than that.

If you want to check out Lawrence Corber’s live album recording of “Lully” you can still get tickets! He’s recording for two nights at Montreal’s historic Comedy Nest on November 12th and 13th and tickets are available over at eventbrite.ca so get yours right now and then sit back and listen to this episode..

The Go Plug Yourself Where We Talk About Wrestling (Again)

by on February 1, 2024 at 11:27 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Sometimes even the best laid plans don’t come to fruition.

Our plan this week was to reunite my cohosts Inés Anaya, Chris Venditto and Lawrence Corber so that we could have a roundtable catchup discussion and come up with a few new questions for our “5 Questions” segment. The plan even involved Lawrence taking the train from Missassauga into Toronto (armed with a USB microphone that I lent him over the weekend) to go to Inés’ house for better sound quality. It was a perfect plan spanning two provinces.

Alas – it was not meant to be. Due to a vetrinary medical emergency we had to scramble for a backup plan. Lawrence could only record from his phone (which is why he sounds like he is recording from a phone) and we were missing a co-host. So we did what we always do: talk about wrestling.

A lot has happened in wrestling over the last few weeks (do not look up why Vince McMahon is a bad man and just trust me that he is) but we decide to focus on actual in-ring discussions. If you want our hot-takes on the Vince McMahon allegations we will set up a very expense Patreon paywall because we don’t want to talk about it (but obviously will if you pay us a bunch of money, let’s not kid ourselves).

James “Twiggy” McGee Returns! – GPYS 287

by on October 25, 2023 at 11:48 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Montreal wrestler, improvisor and man-about-town James McGee: “What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to get out of a test/work/commitment?” That question asked by Kenny Streule and Cat Preston from Mainline Theatre’s Rocky Horror Show back in episode 286.

We’ve had James McGee on the show before. We’ll have James McGee on the show again. When you find yourself at the crossroads of talk show host, wrestling promoter and improvisor you are just bound to wind up on this show repeatedly. That’s just how things go around here.

I realized it has been about 3 years since we’ve had James on the show and that the last time was in 2020 and was what we now lovingly refer to as “peak pandemic” – man, time flies.  Let’s never do that again.

You can find James – quite literally – all over town. You can find him in the ring (occasionally) at BATTLEWAR, on stage at Mile End Improv (among many other stages) and probably other places too. Oh – did we mention that none other than The Dark Order’s Evil Uno will be at BATTLEWAR this Sunday at Foufs? Well we mentioned it now.

Enjoy the show!

Joe Garque (Under Pressure Graffiti Festival) – GPYS 282

by on August 5, 2023 at 2:08 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks Joe Garque from the Under Pressure Graffiti Festival: “What is the moment that you felt that Montreal became an international city?” – that question asked by Patrick Guay in Episode 281.

We talk about in the episode but I think the first time I went to Under Pressure was in the early 2000’s back in Dawson (not a coincident that was about the same time that I first met Joe Garque). I was blown away by the vibe – just a bunch of graffiti artists (“writers” as they’re called in the parlance) doing their thing while DJs played music and breakers busted out dance moves that make my knees hurt just thinking about. That block party vibe has been maintained over the course of the last 20 years and as the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop so does the Under Pressure Graffiti Festival.

This year Under Pressure will be featuring the “traditional” painting of murals in and around Foufounes Electriques (if you’ve ever wondered why all the art at Foufs is so fresh it’s because Under Pressure gives them a facelift almost every single year) and will feature basketball, dancing and more at the nearby Parc Toussaint Louverture on de Maisonneuve – both sites will feature a bunch of live music celebrating “The Throwback ’73”.  If you’re wondering, the consensus date of the “birth of hip hop” is August 11, 1973 by DJ Kool Herc at his sister’s back-to-school party in the Bronx. It’s a wonderful thing that Under Pressure is nearly 50 years later (plus one day) celebrating all the culture that hip-hop has brought to us in the last 50 years.

Joe Garque talks about that history, the history of the festival, the 5 pillars of hip-hop and much, much more as Lawrence Corber sits in as co-host.

Enjoy the show!

GPYS 271 – The Best Montreal Podcast In The World!

by on February 2, 2023 at 10:36 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The best Montreal podcast that realized that it was way too snowy and cold to attract a guest is back baby!

But listen up – our host depth chart is so deep that it doesn’t even matter that we don’t have what some would call a “guest” on this episode.

Top Montreal comedians Lawrence Corber and Chris Venditto join my wife and I to talk a lot about snow. Seriously, half this episode is literally about snow and snow removal.

I wish I was kidding.

Am I going to say that we revolutionize podcasting in this episode? That we take the constructs of a podcast and disintegrate it with our tremendous podcasting expertise, talent and brilliance? No, I won’t say that. But if you could, possibly on social media, while tagging us, that would be greatly appreciated.

We reinvented podcasting tonight. And we did it for you.

Troy Stark Returns – GPYS 266

by on November 10, 2022 at 6:16 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks the founder of the Montreal Grand Comedy Competition Troy Stark: Leather or lace? And also: What is your favorite horror movie? These questions brought to you by the wonderful and talented people behind The Terrors of Misery’s Grove: Jason Grimmer and Jess Fildes back in episode 265.

Troy Stark is once again award $1000 cold hard Canadian dollars to one of Montreal’s comedians. Over 100 comedians participated but we’re down to the last few rounds of competition. This Sunday November 13th and next Wednesday November 16th at The Diving Bell Social Club are the last two semi-final rounds of competition and then the grand finale will be December 11th featuring all the finalists and none other than our house-band Auril Turpitude! Be sure to keep tabs of #MTLGrand on Facebook on Instagram for updates and make sure to be there in person for when Troy hands some talented comedian a (presumably actually huge) big ole’ check!

Some of you might know Troy Stark from The Nerdy Show and Lawrence Corber is co-hosting this episode with me so… spoilers, it gets pretty nerdy up in this podcast. We talk about Witcher, Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, comic books, other video games and a bunch of other nerdy shit. You should still listen, but I just thought I would put that out there for you.

Go Plug Yourself 255 Mega Show!

by 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!

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.
