In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz discover what happens when your scheduled guest fails to materialize...and all that implies. It's a shorter episode!Spend an hour and they've covered reunion tours, social media hysteria, Geddy Lee's birthday, Solar Federation, RushFest Canada, RushFest Scotland, RushCon, Yeti mugs that definitely should've had Rush logos on them, the possibility of a United Nations of Rush podcasts, and whether inviting Geddy to your birthday dinner technically counts if his people never call you back.THIS WEEK'S SONGRed Lenses from Grace Under Pressure—one of Rush's quirkiest, most divisive deep cuts. That opens the door to Peter Henderson's lone turn in the producer's chair, Terry Brown's celebrated remix, the sonic identity of Grace Under Pressure, and whether one of Rush's strangest songs deserves more love than history has given it.There are birthday plans.There are podcast conspiracies.There is at least one joke that should probably qualify as a Canadian dad joke.No bones. Just Rush.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz return to the Boneless airwaves to tackle the latest chapter in Rush's ongoing tour saga. What begins as concern over Geddy Lee's bout with bronchitis quickly snowballs into discussions of border crossings, maple syrup smuggling operations (allegedly), canceled shows, the realities of life on the road, and why rock stars probably catch germs the same way kindergarten parents do.Along the way:Geddy's bronchitis forces the postponement of the Fort Worth shows, leaving fans—and ticket holders from around the world—wondering what comes next. (SPOILER: They just played their rescheduled shows!)The guys relive the infamous Mexico border delay and imagine what customs officials really thought was hidden inside those Rush road cases.Schatz finally dives into Ghost Rider, opening the door to a thoughtful conversation about Neil Peart's relationship with fans and why his books reveal more about the man than any meet-and-greet ever could.Chaz reflects on playing live after a mid-week gig, comparing life as a weekend warrior to the relentless grind of touring.The hosts debate whether performing is supposed to be fun... or simply the price professionals pay to deliver excellence every night.And yes... someone inevitably suggests that maple syrup might actually be contraband.Somewhere between discussing Neil's incredible dedication to his craft and wondering whether Dirk should be wearing a mask at meet-and-greets, the guys find themselves appreciating something Rush fans have always known: greatness isn't always glamorous, but professionalism never goes out of style.There are opinions. There are laughs. There is at least one completely unnecessary conversation about Canadian contraband.No bones. Just Rush.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

Sports medicine physician,endurance athlete and 1% Better Podcast host  - Dave Lipman - checks in for a wide-ranging conversation covering the realities of podcasting, the future of endurance technology, recovery methods, supplements, sleep tracking, heat adaptation, longevity trends, GLP-1s, peptides, and where the line should be drawn between performance enhancement and fair competition. Dave Lipman Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdavidlipman/ 1% Better Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onepercentbetterpod/| 1% Better Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4bG2U3dciEduX8c3PUtkrQ Matt Fox Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Coaching: https://www.sweatelitecoaching.com/ Supporters Club: https://www.sweatelite.co/supporters YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SweatElite Matt welcomes Dave back to the podcast and the pair begin by discussing the realities of producing endurance content. They talk about the challenges of scheduling guests, dealing with cancellations and technical issues, recording in person versus remotely, and why some of the best conversations happen when the host and guest don't know each other particularly well beforehand. Dave also shares his podcast inspirations, what he currently listens to, and the endurance personalities he would most like to interview. The conversation then shifts toward the future of endurance performance technology. Dave discusses continuous lactate monitoring, multi-analyte sensors capable of tracking biomarkers such as glucose, ketones, cortisol, and hormones, as well as emerging ventilation and respiratory wearables. They explore whether future devices will be able to separate metabolic stress from mechanical and neuromuscular load, creating more useful insights than current metrics alone. Matt and Dave discuss the balance between useful data and over-analysis, touching on sleep tracking, orthosomnia, and how athletes can become overly reliant on wearable feedback. Dave explains why subjective feel still matters and why training should ultimately enhance enjoyment rather than create more stress. The discussion moves into supplements, with Dave outlining his practical framework for evaluating evidence and deciding what is worth using. They cover bicarbonate products such as Maurten Bicarb and Nomio, creatine, beta-alanine, beet nitrates, taurine, and the supplement trends currently gaining traction in endurance sport. Recovery strategies are another major focus. Dave reviews the evidence surrounding ice baths, sauna use, heat adaptation, active versus passive heat exposure, and how timing these interventions incorrectly may blunt training adaptations. They also discuss sweat rate adaptations, the interaction between heat and altitude training, and examples of accidental training breakthroughs that emerged from environmental stress. The final section of the conversation examines the rapidly growing longevity and biohacking space. Matt and Dave discuss Bryan Johnson, GLP-1 medications, peptides, anti-aging interventions, anti-doping gray areas, and whether amateur athletes should be held to different standards than professionals. The discussion expands into super shoes, emerging performance technologies, and how the sport may need to adapt as new forms of enhancement become increasingly accessible.

Part 2 finds Chaz and Schatz back in the Haggis Shack with Moving Pictures' Steve Brown, RUSHFest Canada's Paul Beaulieu, and Funding Neuro's David Mulligan as the conversation shifts from RushFest Scotland to the upcoming RushFest Canada at Toronto's legendary El Mocambo.The gang talks about the excitement surrounding Rush's upcoming tour, the future of RushFest on both sides of the Atlantic, and why the Rush community continues to thrive through live music, friendship, and a shared love of the band's legacy.Along the way, Steve gives an update on Songs for Neil, Paul previews what's in store for RushFest Canada, and David weighs in on everything from Rush beer to tribute bands. Naturally, things eventually derail into discussions about vinyl, guitar tones, Terry Brown, and the sort of audio nerd rabbit holes that only Rush fans can truly appreciate.Join us for tales of:RushFest Canada and the legendary El MocamboThe upcoming Rush tour and fan reactionsSongs for Neil and preserving Rush's musical legacyRush beer, vinyl records, and hi-fi obsessionWhy tribute bands matter more than everTHIS WEEK'S SONG: The Wheel lands on "Limbo" from Test for Echo, sparking a spirited debate about instrumentals, guitar solos, Monster Mash samples, and whether this deep cut deserves to live in the limelight or be wished well.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

Chaz and the assembled Order of Mildly Concerned Scholars (Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and returning guests Heath McCoy, Laura Morrissette, Debbie Pastore, and Michael Pastore) set out this week expecting to discuss "Mr. Blackwell."Instead, they find themselves attending his funeral.Not literally.Emotionally.Because this week isn't really about the song.It's about what happens when the villain finally gets a chance to explain himself.What unfolds is less a chapter of Scott's ever-expanding Elder screenplay and more a direct transmission from a past nobody was expecting to feel sorry for. The armies vanish. The battlefield falls silent. The purple lightning takes the night off.And standing where the monster used to be......is a father.A grieving widower trying to protect his daughter.A man desperately looking for purpose after loss.A future tyrant who, disturbingly, sounds an awful lot like a hero.Laura Morrissette returns as a young Sypha and immediately steals the episode, while Heath McCoy takes on a younger Mr. Blackwell—a version of the character who still believes the world makes sense, the Elders can be trusted, and promises actually mean something.Meanwhile, Scott continues constructing a mythology that becomes more complicated every time someone tries to explain it.There are sacred groves.There are magical oaths.There are mysterious ceremonies that become increasingly difficult to distinguish from recruitment into an extremely powerful fantasy cult.And hovering over everything is a growing realization that Cornelius and Blackwell may not be opposites at all.They may simply be standing at different points on the same road.There is sympathy.There is suspicion.There is the uncomfortable sensation that the story has quietly shifted beneath everyone's feet.Because once you've seen the man before the fall......it's a lot harder to cheer for the fall.Featuring:Heath McCoy becoming Young Mr. Blackwell and somehow making him "relatable" (woah yeahhh)Laura Morrissette returning as Sypha, future heartbreaker of podcast listeners everywhereDebbie and Michael Pastore reprising Sarah and Thane as the Fellowship of Mildly Injured Heroes continues its journeyMorpheus presiding over an oath ceremony that raises significantly more questions than answersThe Elder somehow becoming even less trustworthy than they were last weekTHIS WEEK'S SONG:"Mr. Blackwell" — KISSFINAL VERDICT:Not the story of a villain.The story of how a hero becomes one.That feels much closer to the established Regarding Elder house style.The ShowIn this season of Regarding…, the panel tackles KISS's Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny. Alongside the analysis, Scott D. Monroe's original screenplay tries to turn the album's abstract mythology into an actual story.Ambition meets accountability.GO BONELESSCertified boneless in the state of Ohio by the Boneless Podcasting Network.

This week on Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz welcome publisher, writer, community-builder, and lifelong Rush fan Deb Ross for a heartfelt and hilarious conversation about parenting, fandom, cultural literacy, and the power of Rush to connect generations.Deb shares the story of discovering Rush through Hold Your Fire in 1987, why “Marathon” and “Vital Signs” became life-guiding songs, and how Neil Peart's lyrics helped shape both her career and her philosophy on raising kids. The gang dives deep into her viral article “Why You Should Take Your Kids to See the Rock Band Rush — and How to Prepare,” including “Take Your Daughter to Rush Day,” pre-concert educational binders, and the surreal moment Alex Lifeson personally emailed her after seeing her TV segment.The conversation also explores Rush fandom as a global community, the emotional impact of the upcoming tour, the authenticity of Geddy, Alex, and Neil, why live music matters more than ever in the age of AI and algorithms, and how Rush fans became the very people society once underestimated.Along the way:Martin from Argentina returns to the loreChaz explains his concert parenting strategy: “If somebody falls in the parking lot, don't make eye contact”Schatz defends real live music against fake internet nonsenseDeb connects Rush fandom to sociology, parenting, and social capitalEverybody gets emotional about Madison Square Garden and the passage of timeIt's thoughtful, funny, deeply Rushian, and packed with the kind of humanity that makes this fan community unlike any other.Rush on.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

Chaz, Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guest Heath McCoy return once more to the crumbling, smoke-covered battlefield of Regarding Music from The Elder—this time under the banner of “The Oath.”And fittingly, absolutely nobody emerges emotionally intact.What begins with discussions of “minimal editing,” accidental hot mics, and Boneless-grade production recklessness quickly spirals into one of the season's most cinematic chapters yet: a full-scale supernatural reckoning involving telekinetic executions, airborne corpses, emotionally compromised heroes, collapsing belief systems, and enough purple energy blasts to bankrupt a mid-1980s special effects department.Scott unveils the latest section of the ever-mutating Elder screenplay project, pushing the story fully into dark fantasy opera territory as Mr. Blackwell unleashes absolute devastation across the battlefield while Corey—bloodied, broken, and spiritually unraveling—comes face to face with the horrifying realization that maybe the Order of the Rose isn't quite the noble institution everybody hoped it was.Turns out “The Oath” may not be about loyalty at all.It may be about what happens after loyalty curdles into resentment, manipulation, sacrifice, and generational trauma.Fun stuff.Meanwhile, Heath McCoy settles comfortably into the chaos as the panel collectively realizes they are no longer “doing a funny podcast about a weird KISS album.” They are now actively constructing a sprawling metaphysical war saga where Gene Simmons has somehow become a grief-stricken telekinetic warlord delivering Shakespearean monologues through clouds of black smoke.And then…because this season refuses to obey natural law…Kevin Brown materializes out of nowhere.What follows is one of the most unexpectedly beautiful moments of the entire series as Kevin delivers a theatrical reinterpretation of “A World Without Heroes,” transforming the panel from wisecracking commentators into genuinely stunned spectators. Comparisons fly somewhere between Daryl Hall, Broadway rock opera, and “the version KISS maybe should've recorded in the first place.”Naturally, this leads directly into debates about Tommy, Quadrophenia, The Wall, theatrical ambition, and the creeping realization that Music from The Elder might actually have worked if the band had leaned harder into the weirdness instead of recoiling from it in terror.Because if “The Oath” teaches us anything, it's this:Once you swear yourself to the bit…there is no safe way back out.Featuring:Mr. Blackwell going full cosmic vengeance demonCorey enduring approximately seventeen separate emotional breakdownsA battlefield sequence with enough destruction to qualify as progressive rock BraveheartKevin Brown unexpectedly stealing the entire episode with one songHeath McCoy calmly observing the collapse of reality in real timeTHIS WEEK'S SONG:“The Oath” — KISSFINAL VERDICT:Not a discussion of The Elder.An oath-bound descent into full-blown mythological podcast theater.The ShowIn this season of Regarding…, the panel tackles KISS's Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny.

This week on Regarding Music from The Elder, Chaz, Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guests Dan & Pang Pappathopoulos stumble headfirst into “Dark Light”—where the screenplay somehow becomes more unhinged, Mr. Blackwell starts sounding like a cosmic war prophet, and absolutely nobody can agree whether the Elder are enlightened guardians… or interdimensional HR managers from hell.Meanwhile:Corey discovers the Order of the Rose may have built its entire business model on manipulation and disposable messiahsA creepy fox-man appears out of nowhere singing Ace Frehley lyrics like a haunted alley goblinAn owl creature eats multiple soldiers onscreenSypha drops a revelation massive enough to shatter the whole mythologyHeath McCoy accidentally channels Randy Savage hard enough to threaten reality itselfAnd through it all, the panel continues the impossible task of adapting Music from The Elder into an actual coherent cinematic universe… one cease-and-desist at a time.THIS WEEK'S SONG:“Dark Light” — KISS(with unexpected assistance from Ace Frehley, alleyway goblins, and purple lightning)FINAL VERDICT:Not a rock opera anymore.A full-blown fantasy franchise fueled entirely by commitment to the bit.The ShowIn this season of Regarding…, the panel tackles KISS's Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny.

In another absolutely unnecessary but deeply essential installment of Rush Rash, Chaz and Shatz return to the Boneless airwaves for what begins as a routine wheel spin and quickly devolves into a gloriously ramshackle prog symposium involving airport sightings, tribute band diplomacy, chorus pedals, drum violence, and the mysterious cosmic intelligence known only as… The Wheel.Along the way:Chaz encounters Peyton Manning in the Denver airport… is he going to see Rush this fall in Denver??.Alex Lifeson's new Analog Kid Double Chorus Pedal sends everyone spiraling into gear lust and riff worship.Getty Lee receives a gorgeous new custom Rickenbacker bass because apparently the universe still rewards cool people.The guys long for RUSHFest Scotland - this Weekend in Glasgow!And somehow, against all odds, the conversation keeps steering back toward Rush. Mostly.Then comes the spin.With only 67 songs left on the wheel, The Wheel delivers a sign: “Finding My Way.” The first track from the first Rush album. The very same song performed at the Junos. Coincidence? Statistical anomaly? Ancient Canadian prophecy? The hosts investigate with the scientific rigor of two men operating on coffee, enthusiasm, and questionable sleep schedules.From there, the episode turns unexpectedly heartfelt as the guys revisit the raw power of early Rush — John Rutsey's explosive drumming, Alex's wonderfully awkward opening riff, Getty sounding like a young man trying to punch through the ceiling of the universe, and the sheer joy of hearing a band discovering itself in real time.There are also sponsors. There is also shouting.No bones.

This week, Chaz and Schatz crack open the cosmic portal to Cygnus X-1 and welcome none other than John Patuto, the mastermind behind the legendary Rush fan hub Cygnus-X1.net—a site that's been keeping Rush fandom alive longer than most of us have kept a pair of concert tees without holes.From humble beginnings in the dial-up bulletin board days (kids, ask your parents) to running a 45,000-member online community, John shares how a personal passion project turned into one of the most trusted and enduring Rush resources on the planet.The guys dig into:What it's like moderating a massive fan community… and when you finally have to say “okay, everybody outta the pool”His thoughts on the polarizing Terry Brown remix of Grace Under PressureThe evolution of Rush fandom from underground to online chaosThings get real as John opens up about shutting down his Facebook group temporarily after fan backlash surrounding Rush's return and the JUNOS Awards performance—proving that even in a fandom built on intellect and musicianship, things can get… spicy.It's a deep dive into what it means to live Rush—not just listen to it.So grab your headphones, keep it civil, and remember:Whether you're Team Original Mix or Team Remix… don't be the guy flipping the table in the comments section.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

This week on the Biltmore Church Podcast, guest speaker Pastor Kyle Mercer joins us for a practical conversation on Luke 12 and the Parable of the Rich Fool.Most of us wouldn't say that life is about possessions, but we often live like it is. In this episode, we talk about how to recognize that drift, how to define “enough,” and what it looks like to grow in contentment and generosity in a culture that constantly pushes for more.Whether you're trying to make wise financial decisions, raise kids with the right values, or simply find freedom from the pressure of “more,” this conversation will help you take what you heard on Sunday and put it into practice.Check out our recommended resource this week at www.seedtime.com!

This week, the Rush Rash train pulls into a very specific station: the official 420 Council Session. And wouldn't you know it — after spinning the wheel for what feels like decades, we've finally landed on “A Passage to Bangkok” from 2112.Joining the council in the club car:Malcolm McKinnon – High Times legend, strain sommelier, and walking encyclopedia of global cannabis loreDaniel Bukszpan – Rush historian, author, and certified mapmaker of the band's musical universeWhat goes down in this smoke-filled session:The real origin story of 420 (yes, the Waldos make an appearance)A lyrical world tour: Colombia, Jamaica, Morocco, Thailand… and what was actually being passed aroundThe myth, magic, and mild danger of strains like Acapulco Gold, Afghani, and Thai stickWhy recording music while high might turn into “take 50”Rush's unexpected connection to global cannabis cultureAnd a hidden moment in the track that will make you never hear it the same way again

Podcasting isn't the only audio medium. Audiobooks are another, which, if you are an author or looking to be one, is a key asset to get more book sales and readers. The idea of spending hours in a studio reading your own words, trying not to sound stiff or monotone, is enough to make anyone put it off indefinitely.  Executive producer Jeremy Shrifels joins the show to completely reframe how we approach narrating our work. He shares how he coaches authors to speak the book in a way that holds listeners' attention, connects with the audience, and brings stories to life. These same techniques can be taken straight from the recording studio to your podcast, helping you connect with your listeners on a much deeper level.   What You'll Learn:

Scott and the assembled Order of Mildly Concerned Scholars (Wolfie… and special guest Seb Hunter, emerging from the fog like a man who's seen what lies beyond the fourth gate of The Elder) convene for what was supposed to be a routine episode and instead becomes something far stranger: an encounter.Because this week isn't just about Music from The Elder.It's about a man who looked at that album—its ambition, its confusion, its audacity—and decided the real problem wasn't that it failed…it's that no one had finished the job.What follows is less an interview and more a careful excavation of a long-dormant creative experiment. Scott and Wolfie guide the conversation as Seb Hunter recounts, with equal parts clarity and disbelief, how a throwaway idea—“what if someone actually made The Elder into a movie?”—mutated into a full-blown production effort:A screenplay written in earnestA trailer shot with real actors and real intentionA grassroots network of collaborators, fans, and the occasional internet wildcardAnd a persistent awareness that somewhere, possibly, Gene Simmons could shut the whole thing down with a single phone callSeb is reflective, candid, and occasionally amused by his past self—the version of him who thought, quite reasonably at the time, that you could just… make a movie. The hosts, for their part, oscillate between fascination and the dawning realization that they are speaking with someone who got closer to solving The Elder than anyone ever should.There is talk of ambition.Of creative delusion (the productive kind).Of the brutal math of filmmaking—where passion is abundant and money is not.Because if The Elder taught KISS anything, and if this project teaches us anything now, it's this:You can build the world.You can write the script.You can even gather the fellowship.But eventually…someone has to pay for the horses.Seb's band - The Provincials - check out their video hereThe ShowIn this season of Regarding…, the panel tackles KISS's Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny. Alongside the analysis, Scott D.

Grace Under Pressure…Under a Microscope. This week, Chaz and Schatz throw the format out the window like a busted cassette deck and go full album-mode on Grace Under Pressure—but not just any version. Oh no. We're diving headfirst into the 2026 Super Deluxe Edition featuring the long-awaited Terry Brown mix…and folks, things get spicy.Schatz rolls in looking like he lost a fight with a pollen storm, but don't worry—our clinicians have prescribed a heavy dose of sonic therapy. Instead of spinning the wheel, the boys go track-by-track comparing the original mix vs. the remaster vs. Terry Brown's fresh take… and let's just say: one of these things is not like the others.From the opening blast of “Distant Early Warning” to the brooding thunder of “Between the Wheels,” Chaz and Schatz hear things they've NEVER heard before—buried guitars, resurrected drums, and (yikes!) effin keyboards that finally step out of the fog too. Is this the mix that finally gives Neil Peart his full chest-thumping glory back? Did Geddy Lee's keys get unfairly accused all these years? And did Alex Lifeson just sneak back into the spotlight like a six-string ninja?Also discussed:Why the original mix now sounds like “AM radio Rush Lite”The great ‘80s production arms race (looking at you, Yes and Genesis)Electronic drums vs. acoustic punch (and where things got… weird)Whether Terry Brown just gave this album its “balls back” (their words, not ours… okay, also ours)By the end, one thing is clear: this isn't just a remix—it's a revelation.Bottom line: If you thought you knew Grace Under Pressure, think again.Play along at home: Queue up your versions and A/B this beast with us… just be prepared to question everything you thought you heard before!SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

This week on Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz welcome Jillian Maryonovich of RushCon back into the co-host chair—fresh off a surreal, boots-on-the-ground experience at the JUNOS where Rush did the unthinkable: they got back on stage as Rush with some Noobs.Jillian walks us through the emotional rollercoaster:From spotting the gear…To locking eyes with fellow Rush-shirt-wearing lifers…To realizing this is actually happening when Geddy walks out.We break down the performance of “Finding My Way”—a bold, risky, slightly bananas choice—and debate:Was it genius symbolism, inspired management, or both?Did Geddy prove he's still got it… or is the voice the elephant in the room?How did the new lineup chemistry land?And why were there teenagers at the JUNOS who had NO IDEA who Rush is?! (Psst...the JUNOS are in Canada - for you non-Canadians)Plus:The 70/30 fan reaction divide on the comebackThe pressure on the “new era” membersAlex Lifeson still being an absolute wizard with hands that should legally require WD-40And the emotional weight of moving forward without NeilJillian also opens up about the deeper struggle: loving this band so much… but not being sure she's ready for what they are now.Oh—and yes: there's a straw-less beverage incident that may be the true emotional climax of the episode.THIS WEEK'S SONGA surprise pull from the wheel—and an instant favorite. Jillian calls it a “top five… it's a keeper,” while the crew dives into the legacy of the track, its place in the catalog, and the unique role of guest vocals from Aimee Mann.The conversation also veers into modern-day “what ifs” around the current lineup.Indeed, even in someone like our intrepid co-host, the RushRash does not stand still, it just keeps on spreading...so come along and give us an itchy scratchy, hmm?SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

This week on Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz celebrate 50 years of 2112 with a very special guest—YouTube sensation and all-around Rush whisperer Mike Massé—who drops in (freshly fumigated from the Haggis Shack) to talk about his gorgeous new cover of “Tears.”The guys dig into Mike's creative process, from Mellotron patch-hunting to channeling Geddy's extra-vibrato-when-you-feel-fancy technique, and why sometimes the internet is both your best friend and a chaotic dumpster fire of “release date truth.” (April 1st? March? WHO KNOWS—ROLL THE BONES.)We also:Spin Mike's stunning rendition of Tears in honor of 2112's 50thDebate the actual release date like proper Rush nerdsTake a wild detour into Beatles territory with Mike's Rubber Soul tribute bandBreak down the Rush reunion performance (yes, THAT one)React in real-time like well behaved Cygnus-X1.Net Facebookers (we get into THAT too)Plus:RushCon plansTouring chaos across the US, Europe, and beyondAnd the eternal question: Can you actually have too much Rush?

On this episode of Ideas to Human Better, I explore the philosophy of So What? Now What? What is our biggest struggle as a species? How do we actually overcome this and other challenges? Instead of simply sitting in it - or drowning... We acknowledge where we are, we decide to do something, we take the most loving next step and we reassess.  I finish the thought experiment with a guided meditation.

Strap in, plug in, and scratch that eternal itch—because this week on Rush Rash, Chaz and Schatz welcome a certified rock brainiac into the Haggis Shack: music journalist and author Daniel Bukszpan. And folks…this guy didn't just fall down the Rush rabbit hole—he built a library down there.We dive headfirst into his new book Rush & 2112: 50 Years, the 50-year legacy of 2112, the album that basically looked the music industry dead in the eye and said, “Yeah…we're gonna make a 20-minute sci-fi epic instead.” Bold move, indeed.Daniel breaks down:HIs gateway song and songs of choice through years of fandom, and why he chose to write about RushWhy 2112 wasn't just an album—it was a defiant middle finger wrapped in prog geniusHow Rush's refusal to phone it in made them one of the most respected bands in rock historyAnd why no matter how hard anyone tries…no one sounds like Rush but RushThere's talk of guitar solos that are actually everyone soloing, Caress of Steel redemption arcs, and a reminder that sometimes the best career move is doing exactly the opposite of what you're told.Plus—yes—there's haggis, chaos, and at least one unexpected guest appearance at about 21:12 that cosmicly derails things...coincidence?THIS WEEK'S SONGThe wheel gives us the last song off 2112, Something For Nothing. Yes, it was a random spin, the video exists! We do not plan the wheel spins.Bottom line: If you've ever wondered how 2112 went from “this might get us dropped” to “this changed everything,” this episode scratches that itch…then makes it worse.Hot damn, Eh.SCHATZ'S SCRATCH LIST - RUSH TRIBUTE BANDSScratch your itch to hear RUSH music played live by going to check out any of these great RUSH Tribute Bands - these bands are keeping the community and the music alive - the most current, curated, and rockin' list of RUSH Tribute Bands in the world!

Chaz and the assembled Order of Mildly Concerned Scholars (Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guest Heath McCoy—clearly summoned from a higher KISS dimension) plunge headlong into “Dark Light”, a song that dares to answer the question: What if Ace Frehley, Lou Reed, and a prog-rock fever dream all walked into the same enchanted tavern?The result is… well… something.What unfolds is less a discussion and more a ceremonial unpacking of a deeply confused artifact—part space opera, part Dungeons & Dragons campaign, part “we probably should've stopped this earlier.” Heath arrives as both evangelist and realist, boldly claiming there is greatness buried somewhere in this album, though not necessarily in the immediate vicinity of tonight's track.Meanwhile, the show's increasingly ambitious Elder screenplay project barrels forward—this week delivering a full-on siege, complete with undead devils, flaming roses, telepathic shouting, and at least one man being eaten by an owl. (Not a metaphor. Just…effin...eaten.)There is debate over authorship, bewilderment over Lou Reed's involvement, sympathy for poor Eric Carr, and a growing sense that everyone involved—band and podcasters alike—may be in slightly over their heads.And yet… onward they march.Because if The Elder teaches us anything, it's that commitment to the bit is absolute, even when the bit begins to stare back at you with softly glowing demon eyes.Featuring:A guest who loves KISS enough to tell the truthA song that may or may not qualify as “pretty good” under USDA & Ohio laboratory conditionsA script that has now fully embraced chaos as a narrative strategyRepeated reminders not to lean into the mic (but absolutely lean into the madness)THIS WEEK'S SONG:“Dark Light” — KISS (with unexpected assistance from Lou Reed… yes, really)FINAL VERDICT:Not the worst thing on the album.Which, in this context, is both praise… and a warning.Macho Man Heath McCoy is the author of Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling, available on Amazon.ca and at ECW Press. He appears in the award winning documentary Singhs in the Ring on Crave TV and co-hosts School of Hip with Chaz Charles here on the Boneless Podcasting Network.The ShowIn this season of Regarding…, the panel tackles KISS's Music From The Elder one song at a time—testing whether its epic ambition holds up under scrutiny.

On this week's episode of Rush Rash, Chaz and Shatz are joined once again by CMPU and Boneless Podcasting Network stalwart Corey Morissette, a man who now hosts approximately seventeen podcasts, three mixtape shows, and possibly a municipal council meeting somewhere in Manitoba.Between discussions of Canadian winters, radio overkill, and the ever-expanding Corey Morissette Podcast Industrial Complex, the gang checks in on the freshly released 40th Anniversary edition of Grace Under Pressure and the new Terry Brown remix of “Distant Early Warning.” Yes — the knobs have been turned. Yes — it sounds different. Yes — the internet will be normal about it.Then the wheel spins.Corey quietly attempts to will Hemispheres into existence through sheer mental concentration. Shatz campaigns for hometown heroics. Chaz stands back and lets fate do its thing.THIS WEEK'S SONG“A Farewell to Kings.”For Corey, it's a first listen — always a dangerous moment on this show. Is it medieval prog majesty? Is it lute-adjacent wizardry? Is it a band from suburban Toronto suddenly sounding like they've wandered into a Renaissance fair with a Marshall stack?All will be revealed as the hosts unpack one of Rush's most theatrical openings — complete with nylon-string guitars, dystopian lyrics, and the unmistakable moment when the band collectively decides: yes, we are absolutely doing this.No bones.

Part 3  In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down fresh off an intense couples retreat to unpack what really happens when you stop pretending everything is fine and actually do the work. They debrief the weekend, talk about the energy shift created by Peaches' first guided meditation and sound bath, and share behind-the-scenes details from their women's and men's retreats, upcoming couples retreats, and the early stages of building their church and refuge for abused and struggling men and women. If you're into real marriage talk, couples retreats, guided meditations, chakras, psilocybin, spiritual growth, and practical relationship tools, this episode gives you a raw look at how they blend masculine leadership, feminine softness, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional processing to actually create change, not just talk about it. The heart of the episode is a powerful Patreon email series from a husband who went from cheating and poorly managed polyamory to radical accountability, therapy, ADHD awareness, and the hard question, “Are we still compatible as healthy people, or are we just together out of habit?” Chris and Peaches walk through infidelity, open relationships, trauma-bonding, rebuilding trust after betrayal, neurodivergent “spicy brains,” communication breakdowns, resentment, and what it actually looks like for both partners to earn each other again. If you're wrestling with whether to stay or leave, healing from cheating, navigating poly-to-monogamy, questioning compatibility, or trying to understand ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your marriage, this conversation will hit home and give you straight, no-fluff relationship advice you can start using today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Part 2In this episode of the To Be Better podcast, Chris and Peaches dive deep into a raw, unfiltered 20-year marriage story filled with childhood trauma, family chaos, serial infidelity, emotional cheating, open relationships, and failed poly experiments. They read a powerful email from a wife questioning whether she's still compatible with her husband after decades of betrayal, gaslighting, and weaponized empathy, and explore how trauma bonds, chaos addiction, and unhealed wounds keep people trapped in relationships that no longer feel safe. Along the way they tackle topics like alexithymia, ADHD, autism, nervous system responses, hypervigilance, and how undiagnosed neurodivergence can impact communication, trust, intimacy, and long-term commitment. You'll hear blunt, practical relationship advice on rebuilding or finally walking away: when to stop giving more chances, how to protect your peace, what emotional cheating actually looks like, how to set non-negotiable boundaries, and why “life experience over degrees” matters in real-world marriage problems. Chris and Peaches break down victim accountability, people pleasing, choosing stability over chaos, and how to create a truly monogamous relationship after years of betrayal. If you're searching for honest conversations about marriage, infidelity recovery, long-term relationships, couples communication, spiritual growth, and becoming a better partner, this is your episode.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

In this end of year onesie episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches look back on three years of marriage work, spiritual awakening, and building “The Tribe” from a simple “let's see what happens” show into a movement that is actually changing homes. They read raw gratitude emails from listeners whose relationships, mental health, and families were transformed through better communication, masculine and feminine polarity, and choosing not to quit when life tested them. From saved marriages and healthy divorces to babies, new friendships, and a community that does wellness checks at 3 a.m, this is a long form gratitude episode for anyone serious about healing, love, and growth. You will also hear where they are going next, from psychedelic integration coaching and ayahuasca ceremony work, to plans for land, retreats, a mushroom based spiritual “church,” future birth and midwife support, and a non profit to help Tribe members in real crisis. Chris opens up about softening his anger, finding compassion, and what it really costs to become a better husband, father, and leader, while Peaches talks about peace, feminine energy, and the emotional income that comes from service. If you want honest marriage advice, relationship coaching in real time, and a community that refuses to let you stay a victim, this episode will push you to stop flirting with your dream, put your dues in, and be the person who finishes.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this raw 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches read two powerful emails that hit everything from religious trauma and teen pregnancy to addiction, stillbirth, and slowly rebuilding a marriage after rock bottom. You will hear them unpack a deeply controlling church upbringing, running away at 17, getting pregnant, losing a baby, marrying young, and trying to heal while a husband battles drugs, grief, and a broken family system. They walk through mentorship for men, women stepping into real support instead of enabling, and what it actually looks like to build a functional marriage and family after chaos, including moving states, starting over, finding a healthier community, and creating a home where the kids are protected from generational patterns. From there they shift into a homestead marriage case study, breaking down a stay at home mom on 2.5 acres, a blue collar husband who works out of town, and the recurring fights that never seem to get resolved. They go deep on “you don't listen” versus “I don't understand,” love languages, why a wife can feel unseen even with great sex, how compliments and validation work for women, and how blue collar joking and passive aggressive digs about weight can quietly destroy intimacy. You will get practical, no nonsense communication advice, how to ask for what you need without disrespecting his leadership, how to stop bottling resentment, and how to align on parenting, money, work ethic, Roth IRAs, and long term plans for your kids so your marriage and homestead actually thrive. If you are a homestead wife, a blue collar husband, or a couple searching for real marriage advice, relationship coaching, and traditional values without the fluff, this episode will speak directly to you. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

They respond to criticism about their appearance, talk openly about troubled pasts, depression, suicidal thoughts, and why they choose to show up for “the broken” instead of trying to impress people who already have perfect-looking lives.

This episode is for anyone searching for real talk on healing, self-worth, faith, and taking ownership of your life instead of staying stuck in victim mentality.They also dive deep into sex and intimacy in marriage, including high vs low libido, sexless marriages, weaponized intimacy, nagging, and what it really means to be a stay-at-home wife in a traditional, faith-centered relationship. You'll hear coaching around lazy partners who won't work, setting timelines for change, financial stress, postpartum depression and creative burnout, grief after losing a parent, and how to let your husband lead in finances without losing your strength as a woman.

But we love a good conversation.In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we sit down with men's rights advocate Chloe Roma to unpack the modern “gender war,” men's mental health, and how online hate culture like the “kill all men” trend reshaped her life and purpose. Chloe shares her personal story of growing up watching her father be emotionally abused, how social media exposed her to extreme misandry, and why she decided she “couldn't stay quiet anymore.” Together we dive into men's advocacy, the men's suicide crisis, childhood trauma, adoption, the impact of domineering mothers, and the very real cost she's paid for speaking up, including being doxxed, threatened, and pushed to a near-fatal suicide attempt.You'll also hear a raw conversation about modern feminism, double standards between men and women, and how pornography addiction, OnlyFans culture, and early exposure to explicit content are rewiring an entire generation. We talk about the crucial role of wives and mothers in a man's life, how women can become powerful advocates for their husbands and sons, why body shaming, emotional abuse, and manipulation of men are minimized, and what healthy boundaries and accountability actually look like in marriages and relationships. If you care about men's mental health, marriage, masculinity, women's role in men's healing, and breaking toxic feminist echo chambers, this episode will challenge your beliefs and give you language, perspective, and practical insight you can take back into your home and your community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.
