Two Guys Talking Rush

Hellooo!!! (Ethel Merman voice)

This week on the Two Guys Talking Rush Podcast, Handsome Johnny and Delightful Dan chit chat about their favorite soup recipes….

F-No!

We chit chat about our favorite band ~ RUSH! But hey… if Rush were a soup it would be a big bowl of deliciousness…right? Rich, creamy, aromatic RUSH!

Sorry…this is getting weird.

All seriousness… This episode is a very special one. With the passing of Neil in 2020 we find ourselves still trying to come to terms with such a loss. It comes up a lot and we may never heal. This week rock/Rush photographer, writer, musician, and very close friend of Neil Peart…Craig Murray Renwick shares some very intimate stories and photos.

We have never felt so privileged/grateful on this show ~ thank you Craig. And thank you to all of our fans who tune in each week. Even if it was by accident because you were searching for something more interesting.

So please keep listening…because I hear its getting better ~ at least that’s what Dan keeps telling me.

Share the podcast with your friends if you can… and enjoy a nice warm bowl of Rush Soup.

Mmmmm soooo good…

Oh and by the way…Rush Rules!

Dam Straight.

The story goes that In the summer of 1974, Ungerleider was sent to Canada by his company ATI (American Talent International) to help a new band as they started touring regularly. That band was Rush and ever since Ungerleider played a crucial role in the success of their tours and production for nearly 40 years.

You dig?

On the continuation of this crazy cool show superstar hosts John Kane and Dan Bukszpan talk about Rush….what else? I mean...really?

Our guests included…

Legendary filmmaker Ari Gold …

Ari has won dozens of prizes for his films, including the Student Oscar, best film at SXSW twice, Best Director at the American Cinematheque / ARPA, and many more. His films have screened at Sundance, Karlovy-Vary, Rio, and hundreds of other festivals.

A giant Rush fan Ari says: “Neil came out of his shell to appear in my independent film Adventures of Power, and helped promote the movie and my music-education charity with videos and conversations at DrumChannel. As he said when reviewing the movie, "In a word, Yeah. In two words... Fuck Yeah!" And then we talked about how to help kids learn through the power of music. He was a gentleman, a writer, a friend, a good man, and the greatest drummer on earth.”

Also…

Returning guest Brent Carpenter Rush Monitor Engineer and his partner in crime Libby Gray (Styx Crew) chat about Rush and their involvement with the amazing new cookbook “Pieces of Ate”

"The Styx Crew is proud to announce that they just finished work on their cookbook! Order on StyxWorld.com All proceeds will go directly to the Styx crew and their families.

The cookbook is 75+ pages, filled with handpicked recipes, fun facts and personal photos taken by the crew. They are also releasing a limited number of Crew guitar picks personally designed by each member.

The first 100 Cookbooks purchased will include one limited edition Styx Crew member guitar pick! There will also be a limited number of complete sets of the Crew guitar picks available for purchase.”

Rush mega super fan Jeff Wagner takes us deep into the bowels of his Rush man cave to uncover his most desirable collectables.
