11/15/23 • 87 min
Chaz N Schatz find themselves with another severe case of Rush Rash - this one seemingly as bad if not worse than anything we've seen so far. Drummer and Singer Matt Grou of Quebec's New World Men! The Containment Unit might have still been a little on the rank side after Steve Brown from Moving Pictures UK's last treatment, but Matt put up with the Vegi-Haggis and Poopourri afterglow like the tough French-Canadian he is!
Matt is 1/3 of a powerhouse Rush full-frontal, multi-media experience. Full Monty ain't got nothin' on the big swinging these guys bring off every show. Light, cameras, big production and red jumpsuits - these guys are beyond legit in their ability to pull off every era of Rush with masterful precision. Schatz needed to change his shorts twice during the recording, and he refused to use those unnamed male sanitary products, so it made us all Evan a little more uncomfortable...but again, Matt was a trooper.
After a truly fascinating discussion of what it takes to play with Peart-ian precision and sing all of Geddy's parts, the wheel doses us with Chemistry from 1982's Signals!
We introduce Matt to our sponsor, Danforth & Pape, dive into song facts and insights from RushVault.com, get a little Rush news from Rush Is A Band Blog, and hear some new music from Dirk himself. That, and Chaz actually pronounces Ashwaubenon!
There's also a strange update regarding the fate of the "For Eyes Only" incident that's come to be known as The Episode 10. Cygnus X-1, Book 1, The Voyage, Incident.
So put on your favorite French accent and try and keep up on an epic music-nerd fest of an episode of Rush Rash.

Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is the only podcast dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies.
Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?! Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.

Episode 11. Show Don't Tell
Chaz N Schatz find themselves in the presence of the master of the CMPU (Corey Morrissette Podcast Universe) himself, Mr. Corey Morrissette on this Mean Street episode of Rush Rash!! Corey is host of 30 or 40 podcasts on the Deep Dive Podcast Network, and he's a card-carrying Canadian. That said - he's not your typical Canuck, especially when it comes to Rush. He breaks the mold yet again (a fancy way of saying he disproved our well-formed bias that ALL Canadian know and love Rush...) Did he know the song or not...let's put it this way, he was in the walk in clinic looking for add-on services, not the Containment Unit - so you figure it out!
In an episode that has us talking everything from Aerosmith to Genesis to Van Fekn Halen to Randy Macho Man punching people in the d#@k...this is a no holds barred episode of Rush Rash.
Corey takes us through his entire podcast dynasty: And the Podcast Will Rock, Back Tracks: Theme Music, Back Tracks: Aerosmith Revisited, and The Ultimate Catalog Clash and by the end of the list, there isn't an ounce of sanity left in anyone of us...we do discover his secret as to how he does it, and all we can say is that it's illegal in the U.S.
The wheel blesses us with a chart topper - 1989's Show Don't Tell, off Presto!
Danforth & Pape dispatches from the home office include the new Ghost Rider shirts - check them out on Steve Brown and at Danforth & Pape's Facebook page; we share some Top Secret, Classified and Eyes Only information about what's come to be called the Cygnus X-1, Book 1, The Voyage...Incident.
As always we go to our song facts and insights from RushVault.com, and pitch a visit to our sponsor, Danforth & Pape, for all you holiday wardrobe upgrade needs.

Episode 13. 2112
Chaz N Schatz end up tripping over their amps and drumsticks with guest phenom, Freddy Mercury Award Winner and Yamaha and PRS endorsed Recording Artist Leoni Jane Kennedy, whose in-fact got the Rush Rash case we weren't prepared to handle - so severe, Steve Brown of Tena Men's Rushfest Scotland caught a new variant from her! Her Rush Rash stretches back deep in her creative genesis, and she shares some pretty deep shit with us. The Containment Unit couldn't contain her talent or inspiration and dedication to all things Rush. She is a true force of nature and maybe the coolest kid to show up to your AV Club. We dive deep on her academic achievements, her new album New World Woman - an acoustic collection of songs penned by the world's greatest drummer - but there isn't a drum beat on it! Her musical roots, her road mates, tales of inspiration, dedication, study, and a voice of pure, haunting starlight. Join us as Leoni takes control of the Solar Federation for a spin of the cosmic wheel. You will not fucking believe that we ended up with 2112, particularly given where we start...
DISCLAIMER: WE DID NOT RIG, FIX, PUT A DOOKIE UNDER THE SCALE OR OTHERWISE TAMPER WITH THE WHEEL SPIN - WE GOT FUCKING INTEGRITY - LIKE LEONI SAID, "IT IS WHAT IT FEKN IS".
So the place might have reeked of Macallan and beat cigarettes, Steve Brown's Moving Pictures Scotland' Brand Veggie Haggis, and discarded Tena Men's pants (the UK meaning of "pants" ya wankers!!)...but Leoni handled it better than that tough French-Canadian dude Matt we had in there last week! The talent in the Rush Family knows no bounds!
Leoni knows Danforth & Pape, and while we *eh* may not have discussed it on the air...it was discussed that there is such great merch at Danforth & Pape's Facebook page, you're nuts not to get there and buy some pre-show party apparel before going to see Leoni play at the Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow prior to Geddy's Effin Book Tour appearance!
We do take 2112 and dive into song facts, numerology, the maths, the memories and even song insights from RushVault.com, but there was no Rush news from Rush Is A Band Blog on our agenda this week...we were having too much fun geeking out with Leoni on her degrees, music, math, her mum, her music teachers and more. What would Leoni decree if she was placed in charge of said Solar Federation for a day? Tune in to find out, but don't pull a finger in her direction on the next cross-country flight...and we thought we'd need cross-gender training for her treatment! The Rush Rash Treatment is universal!
Yep - we blah, blah, blah'ed for over an hour before the wheel spun 2112 - all 20:33 glorious seconds of it. Guess how we voted this one...and you know our format - so grab a rocket ship, kick back and take a ride with us and Leoni, for a more epic than our last epic music-nerd fest of an epic, fekn awesome episode of Rush Rash.
