Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast

Gallivanting while the gallivanting is good.

Reluctant retirees Terry and Ted capitalize on their free time and mobility to blanket Montreal with their presence at various and sundry charity and entertainment events. Also, when he's not flitting hither and yon, Terry is anchored to the couch for hours on end, watching multiple streaming services and taking copious notes for his weekly viewing recommendations, and this week he's got some dandies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Whoever said “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey” didn’t fly commercial

Terry revisits Vancouver and suffers the slings and arrows of commercial air travel. Also, summertime goings-on in Montreal, the mechanics of standup comedy and why no one asks us to name TV shows. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Montréal through the DiMonte lens, unfiltered

Terry's warts-and-all review of a very busy social calendar in the week leading up to Victoria Day, which can itself be a trigger for an English boy from Verdun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The uncomfortable truth: Greeks make the best Montreal pizza

The uncomfortable truth: Greeks make the best Montreal pizza. Also, don't cut in front of Ted in line at Costco. In an episode fraught with controversy, the boys shoot from the lip on their preference for Greek Montreal pizza, Terry calls out a pool company that tried his patience beyond the breaking point, and Ted almost turns Costco Pointe Claire into the Octagon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Alan Parsons interview project: mission accomplished.

Terry and Ted conquer technology by successfully conducting an online interview with progressive rock legend Alan Parsons ahead of his charity fundraising show next week at Place des Arts. Also, the ban on phones in school, putting the Habs to bed for the summer and Ted gets something to cry about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Allez Canadiens allez! And get a haircut, ya hippies.

The Habs are down but not out, a heartwarming story of love lost but not forgotten, and what's with the old guy rock star hair? That and more on this week's episode, including a pee-pants funny Tweet Sheet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Meet the old boss, just like the old boss.

The man responsible for Terry DiMonte's first big break in radio joins us this week to talk about a Montreal original and the ghost that haunted it. We also draw positives from the Canadiens' playoff-opening loss and lament the cool spring weather and leftlane hogs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

No news this week. Just weather and sports.

In the spring, a young man's fancy turns lightly to thoughts of love, while an older man's fancy turns to the Masters, the Habs' playoff chances, breakfast and bunions (paraphrasing Alfred Tennyson here). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guest-free, pants-free

In the absence of company this week, Terry and Ted let it all hang out and even veer treacherously close to breaking their commitment to avoid talking politics. Also, all the usual tomfoolery and features, including Terry's entertainment recommendations and the Tweet Sheet, as well as a cornucopia of reminiscences, which is easy to say and spell when you have autocorrect. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Strangers in the Night in More Ways Than One

Strangers in the Night founder Larry Day joins us in studio to talk about the 20th anniversary of the West Island's signature charity and social event, and provides a bonus look inside the TV and film industry from his perspective as an actor. Also, Montreal April Fool's gags, Terry plays interpreter to Ted's crazy dreams and entertainment picks from the picture box. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
