9to5.cc Podcasts: Including Go Plug Yourself (GPYS) & 9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

The Montreal podcast that asks the most electrifying man in Montreal comedy Mike Paterson: If you could cast yourself in any movie, what role would you be? Asked by none other than Tranna Wintour back in episode 263.

Mike Paterson has been a guest on this show an incredible 7 times, but it has been 4 years since we’ve had the pleasure of hosting him on Go Plug Yourself. He sang the Canadian National Anthem at Go Plug Yourself 150 in front of a packed house at Mainline Theater back in 2018 and then went on to sing the National Anthem to over 20,000 people at the Bell Center this summer as part of Mike Ward’s “Sous écoute” podcast recording. 

Yeah, our podcast is basically as big as Mike Ward’s.

But we’re not here to plug Mike Ward’s podcast. No! We are here to tell you that Mike Paterson has gone to Hell! 

Mike Paterson: Live from Hell is a comedy special event happening Thursday October 19th at Studio TD in beautiful downtown Montreal and will feature Mike talking about being in the film Prey, being a dad, wrestling and much more! Get your tickets now on Ticketmaster!

And in the meantime: enjoy the show!

As always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude!

Montreal’s best podcast reviews Clerks 3 and returns to our roots so this episode of 9ES is filmed entirely in grainy black and white film.

The original Clerks holds a very near and dear place in the heart of all 3 9ES podcaststers. I say with very little exaggeration that Clerks changed my perception of movies. Clerks came out in 1994 – I’m not sure when I first saw it but I’m guessing it was probably 1997. At that point I was about 14 years old and the concept of “independent film” was pretty foreign. Indie flicks were all (in my mind) artsy snooze fests.

Then this black and white movie came around about slackers talking about Star Wars.

I was a slacker.

I loved Star Wars.

Somehow, despite the fact that Kevin Smith has arguably lost his way as a filmmaker in the last 15-20 years, he manages to do right by Randall and Dante and give them a pretty heartfelt send-off in Clerks 3. It’s a fun flick.

We also talk about World War 1 Canadian flying aces.

Important: We are hatching a plan to re-rank some of the mistakes of The List – and we want you to be a part of it! If helping us re-rank some movies seems fun to you, please stay tuned here and on our socials for instructions how we best figure out how to get you involved. Love U.

While we did conquer our overall audio issues from last week we were not entirely without technical failures this week. Scott’s computer decided it needed to update itself right fucking now and the result is that we had a little less time than usual for Garbage Time.

That doesn’t mean we didn’t dig up some high quality Garbage Time content for you though. We go over 14 Totally Bonkers Moments From Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Universe compiled by T.W. Mitchell over at Ranker.Com for hot takes on Frank Miller’s horrible take on the Caped Crusader. It’s goddamned Garbage Time.

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian, singer, songwriter and Big Brother contestant Tranna Wintour: What scene in a movie makes you so emotional it brings you to tears? That question asked by Adam Reider back in episode 262.

Tranna Wintour is an amazing Montreal talent and it seems that every time you blink her star manages to soar even higher. Between co-hosting her podcast Chosen Family, performing in both English in French, releasing an album and nearly winning the second season of Big Brother Célébrités I think you would be hard pressed to find a harder working talent in the city.

If that wasn’t enough, she’ll be featured on the final episode of Comedy Night in Canada with Rick Mercer in November! Oh, and by the way, since we’re talking about Comedy Night in Canada this a pretty good time to tell you that our own Inés Anaya will also be featured on an episode airing on October 25th.

Like I say in the intro of this episode: I’m surrounded by amazing talented people and I just talk to them and make a podcast out of it.

Hey, things could be worse.

Anyways, we talk a LOT about Big Brother, the challenges of being a performer in Quebec and much, much more.

Enjoy the show!

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.

Montreal’s best podcast has the worst sound quality!

Seriously, before we kick things off we would obviously like to take a moment to acknowledge the abysmal sound quality of this episode. What is this, 2012? Basically we lost some of the “good” sound files and are forced to present you with some mutant Frankenstein backup version of the recording.

The content is still there though. We have to believe in the content.

There is so much content.

The theme of the show this week is drama.

Drama about shipping people in planes from Texas to Massachusetts, drama about chess Grand Masters possibly getting chess tips over the air via remote controlled anal beads in their butt and drama about one of hip-hop’s highest selling artists getting into a beef with an internet music critic.

Also Queen Elizabeth II died. We speculate whether or not Canada should cut ties with the UK and Scott brings up the idea that as a Canadian citizen you can go to a British embassy when you’re traveling abroad as a fun perk.

According to VisaPlace Canada has about 145 embassies and 185 Consulates across the world. The UK has 162 embassies and 185 consulates and 33 “other representations”.

Not a bad perk to more than double the number of places you can go to if you are proper fucked in another country.

This week’s episode of Garbage Time is yet another ultra special garbage spectacular! This week we take a look at the wonder that was Burt Sugarman’s “Midnight Special” before talking about some television shows that we’ve been watching like Sandman, Hacks and Harley Quinn, we also talk a little about BrightBurn.

We kick this episode off by talking about the CFO of Bed Bath and Beyond throwing himself out of a window to his death and the resulting ripples of armchair investors trying to recreate the magic of GameStop and navigate just what that suicide might mean for the stonk.

We then move on to what’s really on people’s minds right now: The Netflix adaptation of Sandman.

Now listen, I enjoy most of Neil Gaiman’s work. But I never really got heavily invested into Sandman. My old roommate had most of them so I occasionally read an issue or trade here and there but it never really clicked for me. And while I can recognize its place as an important fixture in the increased popularity of “alternative” comics I’m still not sold on it’s overall quality.

That said, the show is pretty enjoyable.

A part of me is watching it to do my small part to let Netflix know that they should continue to take risky projects and I hope Sandman gets a second season and somehow it also means that Cowboy Bebop comes back too.

This week’s episode of Garbage Time is yet another ultra special garbage spectacular! We apply our scientifically and peer tested list-making methodology to the Saturday Night Live films and rank them from best to worst. Spoiler-alert: they are mostly all the worst. We spend a lot of time trying to determine if Coneheads is funny and whether or not Blues Brothers deserves to be so well regarded.

The Montreal podcast that asks some of the producers of LadyFest 2022: Who is your boy band crush? A question asked (of course) by Abby Stonehouse and Michelle Dominique in our last episode.

Elspeth Wright and Raquel Maestre join Chris Venditto and I on this very special episode of Go Plug Yourself where we celebrate the upcoming LadyFest! That’s right, LadyFest is returning for the first time since 2019 celebrating, supporting and inspiring women performing comedy in Montreal! Elspeth and Raquel talk about language in comedy, producing shows and obviously boy bands and pop music.

Stay up to date with all the upcoming shows on the LadyFestMTL Facebook Page and Instagram. LadyFest kicks off September 13th with a special LadyFest edition of Stand-up St-Henri and then runs from the 14th to the 16th at the Diving Bell Social Club.

Be there!

Also – and this is just for me now – on the Facebook page LadyFest keeps posting “MEET OUR CASTS” which is totally reasonable. However, my brain continually registers it as “MEET OUR CATS”. Meow.

The Montreal podcast that seems to be more interested in watching bad movies than good ones is back to talk about 2 movies you probably should not watch and 1 movie that you really should.

Montreal’s most in-sync comedy podcast asks Abby Stonehouse and Michelle Dominique: “What you doing on a Monday?” – asked of course by Walter J. Lyng and Vance Michel back in episode 259.

As usual the conversation spirals out of control. I am pretty sure we hypothesize whether or not our parents are aware of the actual moment of our conception. We definitely talk quite a bit about boy bands and what your boy band crush might say about you. (Spoilers: If Kevin is your favorite Backstreet Boy it means you have daddy issues).

However, the REAL reason we have Abby Stonehouse and Michelle Dominique on the show is to talk about their project: Comedy on Demand: Lawn Laughs (and Lounge Laughs). Ever wanted to have a comedy show in your backyard? Call up Abby or Michelle and you can make that dream a reality. They’ll book an entire lineup for your event, arrive with their own sound system and bring the laughs right into your backyard (or home).

Make Dave’s 50th birthday the funniest one yet!

For more info on Comedy on Demand (Lounge Laughs AND Lawn Laughs) check out their official website and contact Abby or Michelle for your next event! Also check them out on Facebook!

You can watch Abby’s podcast “House of Stone” on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcasts (like Spotify or whatever).

But also you can listen to this podcast right here, right now.

The Montreal podcast that really wants a Winnebago so that the three of them can just go on a big road trip to South Dakota is back with a brand new episode!

Sure we talk a little about some of the scary stuff going on in the world these days but do you know what we also talk about?

Prince.

Scott brings up a video of Prince suddenly popping out of the shadows during George Harrison’s posthumous induction as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 (he was already in as a Beatle) and emasculating Tom Petty, do yourself a favour and check it out. Prince absolutely steals the show, much to the delight of Dhani Harrison (who holy crap is the spitting image of George). While you’re doing yourself favours also look up Crazy Horse and the Crazy Horse Monument being carved in South Dakota. Both are dope. After weeks of dancing around the topic, all three of us have finally watched all of Stranger Things 4. We talk about our overall impressions, stuff we liked, didn’t like, fan theories and in a rare twist, we are (mostly) in agreement.

Meanwhile in Garbage Time, we talk about the Woodstocks that happened in the 90s and also a little bit about the latest in the Predator franchise: Prey. Both of these will certainly be more heavily spoken about in a main show in the future, so you should get yourself a sneak peak now. 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!
