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.

Esteban Vargas – GPYS 248

by on February 3, 2022 at 6:26 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal comedy and culture podcast returns (for now) to speak with CHOM’s Esteban Vargas! We ask Esteban (among other things): If you had to fight a horse sized duck, or a horse’s weight worth of regular sized ducks, who would you rather fight? This question asked to him WAY back in November by the incomparable Professor H. Shayne Hawke in episode 245.

Esteban has worked at CHOM for a long time, if you go back to his first appearance on the show (holy crap that was 7 years ago) I am pretty sure that he mentions he basically started working there out of high school. However, last year he had the rather amazing task of putting together a string of shows that served as the radio broadcasting career sendoff for the legendary Terry DiMonte. We get a little into that, we talk about greasy spoons in Montreal, staying sane during the pandemic and then figure out how to fight a horse-sized duck.

Whatever might come down the pipeline for Esteban, you can keep tabs on him by following him on Twitter @estebanwaseaten (which is of course a Bill Murray/Steve Zissou reference for all you kids out there in podcast land).

Sit back, relax, and Go Plug Yourself.

Professor H. Shayne Hawke (IWS) – GPYS 245

by on November 25, 2021 at 6:30 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks professional wrestler Shayne Hawke from IWS: “What is the thing that happened in your life that surprised you the most?” asked of course by our last guest: Francois Vigneault (TITAN, Orcs in Space) in GPYS 244.

Fun fact, we actually had Shayne on the show way back in 2014 since we love ourselves some wrestling on this here show. Times have certainly changed since then. Not only did Shayne suffer a series of injuries that looked like they were going to keep him out of the ring permanently, but he also got over those injuries and can wrestle again!

Shayne is now a mastermind over at the International Wrestling Syndicate (IWS) and also runs things down at the IWS Dojo where he will teach you (yes, you) how to wrestle. You can follow Shayne on Instagram, Twitter and I’m told even Tik Tok.

Lawrence steps into the co-host this episode and also he and his fiancée Eve-Line step up to host part of Episode 186 of the Super J-Cast (a New Japan Pro Wrestling Podcast) that you can listen to here.

Sam Fairbrother – NDG-Westmount – Green Party – GPYS 240

by on September 15, 2021 at 6:53 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Green Party candidate Sam Fairbrother: What is special about your favorite socks? That questions was asked by Jonathan “Jobi” Bouchard on our last episode which you can listen to here.

It has been less than two years since Canada last had a federal election but boy does it somehow seem like it was either just yesterday or an entire lifetime ago. The last time Canadians went to the polls to elect a government was in the Fall of 2019 and as you may know a lot has changed since then.

Back then we had the Green Party representative for NDG-Westmount Robert Green on the show and Lawrence was just a featured guest host. Now we have Robert’s successor Sam Fairbrother on the show and Lawrence is a full fledged Go Plug Yourself co-host!

We get through a lot in this episode, from Sam explaining various elements of climate change that you may not have considered in simple terms, the ongoing climate crisis, his road as an environmentalist and more.

Find out more about Sam on his website, learn more about the Green Party on theirs and if you haven’t voted in advance make sure to vote this coming Monday September 20th.

Enjoy the show!

FAR Festival – (Léa Philippe & Émilie Allard) – GPYS 237

by on August 5, 2021 at 6:09 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Léa Philippe and Émilie Allard of the FAR Festival: “Have you ever destroyed someone?” (as asked by John Hatz from I Love Neon in episode 236).

So, I thought it was 2019, but apparently it must have been 2020 when I happened to stumble upon a pop-up circus performance in one of Montreal’s alleyways. It turns out that it was a part of a festival that I had never heard of before. Namely: The FAR Festival: Le Festival des arts de ruelle de Montréal. In a city that is defined by its festivals I don’t think there is quite anything like the FAR. A combination of fixed stages, pop shows, parades and mobile stages that brings art to the streets (or more accurately alleys).  Musicians, circus performers, acrobats and more make up the over 200 artists that will be performing at the festival between August 12 and September 12.

Lawrence and I were lucky enough to host two of the wonderful people behind this festival: Léa Phillipe and Émilie Allard. Léa and Émilie discuss the charm of the festival, how it came to be and the importance of bringing the arts to everyone.

Listen now and enjoy the show and be sure to keep tabs on the FAR Festival to find out when a show might be popping up near you:

Walter J. Lyng – Knife Fight X – GPYS 234

by on June 10, 2021 at 7:13 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that will forever and always hold Walter J. Lyng near and dear to its heart returns! Just like live shows!

It was 10 years ago in 2011 that Walter first brought Pitching Knife Fight to the Montreal Fringe Festival, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that later that same summer he would decide to start a podcast with me. I’m not sure exactly what the connection is or was but I’m sure it’s there.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of that momentous show Walter is bring “KNIFE FIGHT X” back to the Fringe. Is it a remount of Pitching Knife Fight? No. Is it Night Fight? Also no. It’s something in between and better baby! I mean, probably. I haven’t seen it.

To help Walter properly usher in this feat of one-man showmanship (featuring a number of other people) we need all the hosts, so that means that Lawrence, Inés and Chris are around to host this thing we’re still calling a podcast.

In the spirit of live theater I have not edited out some of the technical difficulties in this episode. Seriously, it’s in the spirit of live theater and not laziness I promise.

Get your tickets to KNIFE FIGHT X right here, right now.  The show opens this Saturday June 12!

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!

Amy Blackmore and the Return of Live Theater (Hopefully) – GPYS 229

by on April 1, 2021 at 7:31 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Amy Blackmore joins the Montreal podcast that asks the question: “Who have you thought about recently from your past that you realized you had forgotten about?” (asked by Tim Riel back in episode 227).

Amy Blackmore has had a hell of year.

We’ve all had a hell of year but Amy’s might have taken the cake.

From having Mainline Theater shut down due to the pandemic (followed rapidly by the cancellation of any live and in person Fringe shows) to overcoming a string of personal issues let me just say that the fact the she is going full steam ahead right now is absolute craziness.

But, dwelling on the negative is for suckers and Amy Blackmore is no sucker. Amy also comes up with probably the most succinct answers ever to Question 3.

So it is that we welcome Amy back to the show to talk about the very imminent (hopefully) return of live theater, staying positive as we approach the finish line to all this shit and more. Things are finally getting close to being back to normal, let’s stay safe, do the thing and hopefully in 6 months this will all start fading into a distant memory. Let’s go.

Enjoy the show!

Go Quarantine Yourself – 1 Year Anniversary Show (GPYS 228)

by on March 18, 2021 at 6:28 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that existed long before the Covid-19 pandemic takes a look back at the last year of isolation and social distancing.

It’s been one full year since Go Plug Yourself transformed into Go Quarantine Yourself during the initial lockdown.

How have we grown and changed over that time? Has anything changed? Have we grown at all? Did we learn anything?

Probably not.

Lawrence, Chris and I have a nice little roundtable chat and try to stay positive. We love you. PS: I know that Inés is in this episode image but she had a last minute thing involving a cat so she couldn’t make it. I had made the image prior to recording and I’m not about to change it.
