Chanter Rant Podcast

You wanted it you got it. The long awaited return of debaucherous buffoonery. Our lovely crew of friends read your submissions for the dirtiest of dirtbag stories, and maybe one drug deal. Who comes up with this stuff?! And more importantly, who listens to it?! You only have yourselves to blame. Special guests: Delboy, #FUJoeBrady, Rabbie the Pooh and Ozzy Ozbroad ***Adult language and situations*...

Sorry for the delay this week. The guys were busy sleeping for days. Not because of the concert, but the after party. No guests.... just a frank discussion all things concert and what not to do. Oh and they catch up on emails and voicemails and some how go down the association road again. Bring on the phone calls. ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are not representati...

The guys are in full panic mode working on the Thanksgiving Concert, so they publish the end of last weeks visit with Cahill. It only took them 2 hours last time to get to something actually good... and related to pipes. Beware, this is well into the show and everyone is very drunk and stupid. Special guests: Bill and Cahill ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are not r...

The guys have a drunken good time when Cahill comes to town and offers his insight on nothing. Why is it the most coherent thing that ever happens on this show a foreigners voice mail? We wax about the state of our current audience and their sickness, what Cahill spends his time doing, and something about pipe gigs maybe. In the post show, we actually get to something pipe band related, but you'll...

Apologies all around on this one folks. This is the worst of the worst podcast yet. Heavily sexualized and screw ball. We're not sure if the special guest sent them down the wrong road but you be the judge. Something to do with band organization at the end but the in between parts... oh boy. I've got nothing. Sexual guest: Eric Evenhuis ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed he...

It's Ren Faire weekend in Las Vegas and the boys get up early on a Sunday morning to record the podcast so they can go watch the weirdo's do their thing. After the usual tangentery process, the guys get around to talking about the practice schedule in the Band That Shall Not Be Named and theories and ideas on how others schedule their band time. Dick jokes ensue. ***Adult language and situations**...

The guys are a little tired and a little depressed this week. Lots going on but they powered through anyway. With more bad news hitting for the band that shall not be named, the rebuild starts again. The guys main topic is a pipe band on life support and how to help get through the valley of dark times for your band. It is said the best comedy comes from sadness, so this episode should win a G.D....

#FUJoeBrady joins the show to talk about putting on a full fledged pipe band concert. Both W&D and The Band That Shall Not Be Named have concerts on the same day, Nov 10th 2018. They discuss the in and outs of the en devour and why would you want to do such a thing. There is lots of drinking and farting so be warned. ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are not represent...

Stand back... it's the first full appearance of the one and only Aussie Broad... aka Ozzy Ozbroad... aka Camille! She joins the guys for a rousing discussion on pipe band uniform and boobs! She sits in for the news of the week and tries to keep the show on the rails. Good luck! The show is long so we'll keep the description short. Special Musical Guest: Dani Arthy ***Adult language and situations*...

Fusco is in Albany, NY visiting family so the guys do a show via the internet and it goes about how you'd expect. 'tis the season to be changing bands so the guys talk about what they look for in a band to go through the trouble for a new year. Is it really just about the sesh? Tune in to find out! Video referenced in the episode: https://www.facebook.com/gina.evenhuis/videos/10215088775831004/ Go...

Pooh Bear returns! On this episode our good friend Big Rab joins our heroes as they discuss the backlash from the judging episode of the Big Rab Show, solo gig fails, and sexual gestures. The recorder breaks 20 minutes in but luckily the boys were live streaming the episode, so The Six jump in to save the day! Will our heroes be able to put out a show next week with Fooko in New York? Is this epis...

The podcast gods smile down on Chanter Rant as the Great McCain Piper Debacle explodes the morning of the recording. They read some emails and play some voicemails, including a special retort to his critiques from Andrew Douglas himself. Then they get into the bagpipe topic of the year, the McCain funeral piper. They talk about how this sort of thing happens and go in circles about how to fix it i...

Josh attempts to set Andy up by bringing in an ex band mate to rip him a new ahole, but in true Chanter Rant fashion, the guest backs out. So without a back up plan, they go on with the show anyway and talk about the dating life as a pipe bander. With Josh newly entering the dating pool, he asks Fooko for advice on Tinder and they discuss whether using a picture of playing pipes in your profile he...

Well it happened again... the Worlds Pipe Band Championships, and as it turns out... Josh was wrong again. American pipe bands did really well at the Worlds this year, winning grade 2 and 3b. We get into a big discussion on how Trump made American Pipe Bands great again. What a great year for pipe banding! Special guest: Cahill ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are no...

Who will we have to apologize to after this weeks episode? Everyone who listens! A sh*t show of epic proportions. You've been warned. Special guests: Stephen, Stu and Scott from Gracenote Vortex and Big Rab himself, well he wasn't himself... the drink got to him. ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are not representative of any organization of which we belong*** Follow...

In the latest installment of Chanter Rant, Fooko has many surprises in store for MaGerkin. After the Debacle at Flagstaff, many people are upset with #twodrunkijeets. Andy knows all the deets but Josh, who has been traveling, does not so Andy surprises him with all the complaints to rile him up "live". In a fantastic sh*t show, everything goes down in flames. Is this the end for our drunk crusader...

We hope you enjoyed the last episode of the Chanter Rant podcast and especially the cliff hanger ending... suckers! In Part 2 to that discussion, Andrew Douglas in back. They accidentally fall into the discussion everyone has been waiting for about associations and if they are necessary and how they can provide value to their customers. They look up the mission statements of Euspba, Wusbpa and RSP...

The intended episode about the Flagstaff games went horribly wrong, so instead, we present to you the prerecorded episode with Piper's Dojo proprietor and front rank member of Inveraray and District Pipe Band, Andrew Douglas. The first part of this two part episode dives headlong in to the issue of what everyone else gets right about piping and drumming and what the US gets wrong. Is it a question...

As the title suggests, this weeks episode is completely lost in the beginning as the guys did no prep work at all. Fortunately, DJ Ingrahamanam was there to help steer the ship in some direction other than Port Nonsense. The biggest consistent topic is the Battle for Recruitment and how do pipe bands get people in the door and what methods do they use to start them off on pipes and drums. Good luc...

This week, the guys review long overdue voicemails and commentary from weeks past. Fast Eddie sends in the first Chanter Rant rap song and Pipe Major McPaddy from the east coast calls in to take umbrage with our critiques of service bands. Local piper Clair, newest member of "the band that shall not be named", joins us for our topic about student pipers and joining an established band while still...

In a special 4th of July episode, the guys take it upon themselves to speak for all American pipe bands and declare their independence from the tyranny of the Brits and their archaic way of pipe band life... well sort of. In true Chanter Rant fashion, they get drunk and abandon the revolution and any sense of reality. They then bullshit with special guest Colin Armstrong, Pipe Major of the Los Ang...

On this episode of the Chanter Rant, the guys try their first live stream podcast and go back to the old way of doing things... drunk! Some of the six send in voicemails and the guys respond. Then they get a visit from Tin Foil Hat guy to discuss the idea that the Grade 1 pipe band contests are rigged. We finish off by predicting the San Diego Highland Games as only two ijeets can do. Enjoy! ***Ad...

On this episode, Cahill returns from his long journey through the Orient, and has plenty of HPV to show for it. #oneofthesix, Honey Bourbon, sends in a pic of boobs so the boys have to drink in response. Then they go back in time and try to remember what it was like to start this journey to the promised land of piping. Mostly, we sh*it on Angel and Cahill in a veiled attempt to figure out how to m...

In this weeks episode, we answer some listener mail about our most hated tunes, open a time capsule regarding the UK Championships and respond to some other podcasters in the pipe band world. We then get into our main topic, diversity in the pipe band world. Our token guest this week is Angel, who speaks for all other minorities on the planet. ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expre...

In this weeks show, Meatloaf Kelly rants back at Fast Eddie with a great voicemail about penis size. The boys then discuss the ups and downs of pipe bands starting their competition seasons and go over some news stories. They finish up with a fun interview with Brad Green, piper from Seven Nations and Pipe Major of Rosie O'Grady's Highlanders Pipes and Drums. We talk about life on the road with a...
