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

The Montreal podcast that asks Reese Turner: Who’s your favorite? (Walter or Keith)

If you were one of the lucky people who managed to get tickets to last year’s sell out edition of “Rad Dads” then you know that Reese and Walter are terrible, but radical parents. The boys are back this year with even more Rad Dads (and Moms) in tow so obviously we thought it would be a good idea to have Mike Paterson on the show (since he is the headlining Dad of the evening).

Mike Paterson is not on this show. He went to the beach instead.

But that’s ok, because he phoned in a few times to offer some of his trademark Mike Paterson quips and comments. It is 100% Mike Paterson and not Walter impersonating Mike Paterson.

Also on this episode: Reese helps us work out a few new questions for the 5 Questions Segment! Exciting!

Rad Dads II: Rad Dad Redemption is one night only on July 18th at Café Cleopatra. Tickets and info here.

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

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 blogs here as The Perspicacious Geek.

She The People promises to be hilarious. Sure it is written, directed and performed by women, but their first order of business is to be funny.

Carly Heffernan is the director and one of the writers of the show that celebrates inclusivity. Featuring performers from the LGBTQ community, performers over 40, and performers from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, She The People is definitely among the most diverse ensembles performing at this years’ Just for Laughs festival.

The show has been tearing it up on stages across North America and will be bringing a little “Montreal” flavour to their sketches for the JFL edition.

Carly and I talk about the challenges of finding comedy in difficult situations, who she would like to have on stage as part of She The People (both modern and historically) and what it means to be a part of Just for Laughs.

She The People runs July 22nd to 27th at Centaur Theatre, more info here.

The Nasty Show has the (dubious?) distinction of being one of the longest running shows at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.

There has no doubt been quite the evolution in comedy about what constitutes “nasty” these days and most comedians are no longer quite as interested in being offensive for the sake of it. This isn’t the PC 1990s where a performer can get a rise out of an audience just by dropping the occasional slur.

The new breed of nasty comedians includes the likes of Jessimae Peluso and Big Jay Oakerson, both of whom I was lucky enough to speak with before they hit the town next week for their unique brands of off-colour comedy.

Both comedians are advocates for freedom of speech, as being able to speak your mind about what you want (and how you want) is kind of hot button topic in many comedy circles.

But from Jessimae talk about washing her taint in a public fountain and being willing to approach every set with a “full throttle” approach and Big Jay willing to continue a conversation despite a bird having just shit on his head,  it’s obvious that these comedians (and their cohorts at The Nasty Show) are not about censor themselves for any reason.

Listen to the episode now to hear Jessimae’s thoughts on edibles, dancing on Instagram and hear Big Jay talk about.

The Nasty Show, featuring Big Jay Oakerson, Andrew Schulz, Jessimae Peluso, Comedian CP and Bonnie McFarlene, hosted by Bobby Lee, runs July 17th to 27th at MTELUS. More info and tickets here.

The Osheaga Arts & Music Festival is absolutely one of the biggest events of the summer in a city that is defined by having a million big events in the summer. And this year, it’s going to be even bigger. The last two editions of Osheaga took place on a temporary site that made the best of re-purposed sections of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve but 2019 will mark the return of the festival to the original site. By original site I of course mean a newly renovated site that boasts a capacity somewhere over 65,000 people.

So to celebrate Osheaga being even bigger than ever we are making our 9to5.cc podcast specials even bigger than ever. How much bigger? Twice as bigger. That’s right, instead of one episode a day, Sarah and I will be breaking down our picks for each day across two episodes. When are we starting? Right now.

Our fourth episode is all about feeling good about yourself.  Expect a new episode around the 15th and 30th of each month all summer long right up until the festival.

Enjoy the show!

Episode 1 (Friday Part 1) is here.

Osheaga is August 2nd to 4th at Parc Jean Drapeau, music starts at 13h each day. Check out osheaga.com for more info and tickets.

The Montreal podcast that asks The Peers: What is your favorite biopic? (Because Tranna Wintour wanted to know).

Two of The Peers (Rahul & Kate) join Walter and Keith… wait… that’s not Walter! That’s Sarah! That’s right, my wife stepped in for this episode of Go Plug Yourself!

Rahul and Kate talk about the television show Lost, how Shakespeare is everywhere and also just maybe having sex with a fire alien. The Peers will be bringing their rapid fire take on all (that’s right, ALL) of The Bard’s works at Toronto Fringe starting next week, so if you’re in Toronto, be sure to check them out.  Opening night is July 3rd at 9:30 pm at Annex Theatre, 730 Bathurst Street, Toronto.   Tickets and more showtimes here.

Also, how great is it that Rahul and Kate happened to be standing with each other in their promotional material? Worked out great for me anyways. Enjoy the show!

The Montreal Podcast that asks Tranna Wintour: Would you recognize your own scent?

Tranna has been on the show before but it has been far too long since we’ve had her as a guest. One of my favorite things about talking to Tranna is that where we may diverge on certain elements of our favorite slices of pop culture we can always find common ground in the 90s.

It’s only fitting that the next episode of Trannavision (coming up June 18th at The Diving Bell Social Club) is “She’s All That.”

Tranna and her often partner-in-crime Thomas Leblanc are also hosting the final few 13th Hours at the Montreal Fringe. Her show “Dear Alanis” will be at Zoofest/OFF JFL this year and you may already know that she’s got a podcast herself (also with Thomas) “Chosen Family” that is about to start its latest season on CBC Podcasts.

Enjoy the show!
