2025

September

  • We are overwhelmed by circumstances that compel us to indirectly break our self-imposed "no politics" rule, however briefly, before returning to the mandatory lighthearted and community-related banter, including the Tweet Sheet, Terry's recommendations, charity mentions and the bread cartel. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

  • Along with the obligatory bonhomie and tomfoolery, this week’s episode offers a profile in strength, courage and finding purpose from unthinkable personal loss. We also reflect on the legacies of two fallen cultural icons with deep Montreal connections, and Terry harkens back to the good old days of almost being eaten by polar bears. 

  • Terry and Ted are back to kick off a new season, fraught with self-loathing and insecurity over their ability to communicate effectively with an audience after taking the entire summer off. After all, they've only been at this for 47 years.

June

  • In our last show before the summer break, we speak with Canadian Forces Afghanistan veteran, author and Hard to Kill podcast host Dave Morrow about his new book "Harden the F**k Up" - a fitness guide for ex-military and civilians alike. Also, Terry channels Mike Love in his Strangers in the Night Beach Boys review and Ted has another Old Man Bird moment.

  • Are we just old guys pining for the past or is society in a period of decline? Terry and Ted ponder whether things really were better back in their day - or just different. Also, a look back at Grand Prix weekend, and peach cobbler: the other shoemaker.

  • Just ahead of Father's Day, a Montreal dad talks about his fight to save his son in a health battle that's taken on a life of its own. Also, the STM transit strike, Grand Prix Week sticker shock and the bagpipes (this time for real).

  • 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.

May

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

april

  • 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.

  • 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 left lane hogs.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

march

  • This week on the podcast, Terry continues his slow burn over the disservice a lame duck Mayor is doing to the legacy of Mount Royal, we expose a hidden nightlife gem in Laval, and hilarity ensues with the resurrection of Race Horse or Rock Band.

  • What do Aerosmith, Bob Jovi, Motley Crüe, Metallica and Montreal's The Damn Truth have in common? They all have records produced by the legendary Bob Rock, including The Damn Truth's new album released this week. Lead singer Lee-la Baum and guitarist Tom Shemer join Terry and Ted to talk about the experience of working with one of the music industry's most prolific producers, and the end result. Also, the mayor and the mountain, correspondence from hither and yon, and the Habs are hot (again).

  • Former Montreal Canadien Chris Nilan and renowned playwright Vittorio Rossi join us on this week's episode to talk about Chris's upcoming one man show detailing his journey through addiction and recovery, with the added bonus of some great hockey stories and the perspective of a true hockey insider.

  • Our memories continue to fail us but that's what Google is for. Also, Terry's shitty snowblower, Ted gets an "A" on his homework, Oscars talk and who’s organizing pharmacies?

february

  • If you're looking for a hard-hitting free for all on Trump, Trudeau and tariffs, you've come to the wrong place. Snow removal bragging rights, robo-umps, train won't go, old school baby names, body wash that smells like sneakers - that's our jam.

  • Trump, tariffs, Elon, Ukraine, Gaza and Hitler are just a few of the things we don't talk about on this week's episode. Welcome to our kinder, gentler corner of the podcast domain.

  • Terry returns from (another) vacation with a rave review of the Dominican Republic and a solemn vow not to go on holidays again until March at the earliest. Also, thoughts on the Super Bowl halftime show, P4 at Dorval, the Tweet Sheet and kids on holidays: yea or nay?

  • In an episode recorded two weeks ago, Terry and Ted sing the praises of the Montreal Canadiens, who went from red hot to stone cold in the interim, so we are clearly to blame. Also, pizza slice vs. pie, pickleball and happy birthday to Terry's mom.

january

  • Noted globetrotter Terry Dimonte is trotting the globe once again Meanwhile, Ted's got the gout.

  • Two-and-a-half weeks ahead of Super Bowl LIX, we preview a Montreal Super Bowl party for the ages, where Ted won’t get drunk unless he falls off the wagon after 28 years (which is highly unlikely but one never knows).

  • 2025 debut with a recap of Terry's pre-Christmas Paul McCartney and Manchester United-themed whirlwind tour of England, and Ted's woeful but nonetheless gratifying tale of being adopted by a local family at the age of 65.
