We speak with Murray Blair, the legend of Melbourne, about his life and career. We drink legendary Four Lokos in honor of the legendary guest. This might be the interview that makes us legends.

Whelp, it's time for the boys to sit down and have their court mandated talk with Andrew Douglas. They discuss HOW GREAT the new Dojo website is, basic things most pipers didn't learn correctly, and how to create a sustainable band culture---we're definitely not being paid to say enjoy!

Well, that's us f*cked for another year kiddos. With 99% of piping events shut down and bands across the country struggling to come up with ways to keep momentum during quarantine, the boys decided to bev it up with the one and only #FUJoeBrady to discuss keeping members motivated, whether or not competition fees should be refunded or applied to 2021 with no contests in the foreseeable future, and whether or not band members are, in fact, human beings.

Oh the boys are back in true CR form on this one---they almost do something right when they bring in Buggie from the Vegas Games to talk nitty gritty on organizing a Piping & Drumming contest, then go off the rails. Josh tries to convince everyone that he’s the hero the highland games needs, but not the one it deserves, while Fooko gets butt hurt that everyone puts pipe bands in a corner. General Shenanigans ensue, followed by Major Problems and Private Matters. Enjoy! Does your tuning need a little work?

This was really recorded before ep 107. In an episode where our planned guest left us twisting, we scramble and decide to call around to our friends to see what they are up doing.

In a rare timely turnaround, the boys flip the release schedule of the last 2 episodes and talk about the pandemic of El Corona and how it's destroying every pipe bands 2020 plans.

The guys are finally back in the same room and use the time to get caught up with past correspondence. Some talk of the great Coronavirus Cruise scare of 2020 takes place and we figure out the perfect vaccine to the virus. Also, other stuff happens. Not sure what. We'll listen later after the complaints come in.

With Fooko off cruising and boozing with the Piper's Dojo, Josh brings in longtime bagpipe buddy and all-around scoundrel Graham to talk about piping in the British Army, whether or not wanking can make you play better, and teabagging internet trolls. Somehow things get even more offensive than usual, so let the lawsuits roll on. Does your tuning need a little work?

Cahill and Fireman Bill drop by the podcast to discuss whether or not Chanter Rant is too mean, the Council of Vaginas sends in their top 5 Vaginas for the year and a drunk Josh does the whole podcast in a weight vest for no apparent reason---shenanigans ensue.

The guys try to wrap up winter storm but mostly get drunk in the excitement of not having done a show together in a couple weeks. Fooko relives his 6th grade glory days on trombone, Josh tries hard to pronounce medal, and then someone kicks off the power by accident. There are a couple interviews crow-barred in at the end to try to salvage this shit to no avail. Interviews with Alasdair Dunn, Derek Cooper and Callum Beaumont thrown in for effect.

Fooko’s out of town freezing his nuts off at Winter Storm, so Josh downs a bottle of whiskey with Fireman Bill and Big Leg as they talk about things service bands could learn from comp bands (and vice versa), whether or not the general public can tell when pipes sound bad, and how much it would cost to participate in a certain UCLA study.

What happens when you mix two assholes with microphones, far too much whiskey, and a bunch of psychopaths and bad decisions into a Vegas bar late at night? You get Chanter Rant LIVE, the experience none of us wanted but we got anyway---kind of like a one-night-stand with Fooko. The boys ring in some random number of episodes with a live show at Tommy Rocker’s in Las Vegas, featuring pipes, beer, chicks, dance, and a walk down memory lane with some of our favorite guests from the past 99+ episodes including our favorite Haterade sipper Babs, the legendary MLK, crowd favorite Maegan the Dominatrix, Decent Piper Tim, Canadian Dancer Elyse and more for the best last episode ever, finally answering the mysteries of life, pipe band, and the dietary restrictions around salad tossing.

What do you do when old members of the band want to come back when they left in bad circumstances? This is the question the guys ponder this week and try to decide what's more important... short term gains to long term goals. Oh but they bully some poor bastards first though.

The resolution episode. The guys talk about their New Years resolutions as it pertains to piping and the band that shall not be named. Hold them to these as they have likely forgotten them already anyway. Happy New Year!

The guys get into Fooko's pipe career origin story, tracking back to loosing his job in the Banking industry going through building a business the Mafia way, and then culminating into infamous mediocrity. It's a sad but common story of failure, drinking and hand jobs.

Josh and Andy take over the band that shall not be named in every way. The band had it's AGM last week and Fooko became President, adding to his other titles of Pipe Major and Drum Sergeant. With Josh as VP and Pipe Sergeant, let the beatings begin. Bring on the 2020 as we are bringing this sh*t home! Does your tuning need a little work?

90 or so episodes later, Angel returns to the pod to face the wrath of the tiger balm after losing a bet to Fusco. The boys get AMAZING gifts from Beer Boy Brad, and the concert recap for The Band Who Shall Not Be Named devolves into roughly 15 dubstep rants with each of the boys taking a turn. Angel berates a disabled person in front of a live concert audience, and the gents get into a conversation about loyalty, suffering, and feeling that sweet sweet burn on your nethers---enjoy!

It's the night before The Band Who Shall Not Be Named's Concert, and the Chanter Rant boys are joined by none other than Callum Blowmont and Cobra Hoinacki themselves! Fooko has no voice, the guests have no jokes, and Josh has no talent, yet they still manage to dive deep into piping theory on being an inspired bagpipe tutor, a willingness to be wrong, and their highest highs and lowest lows throughout their "careers".

In the aftermath of the critically ashamed dominatrix episode, the Chanter Rant boys jump headfirst into a lengthy discussion about bagpipe tone, including whether or not instructors should be allowed to tune soloists, who has the most boner-inducing High A, and the most metal bagpipe note. Next thing you know, Fooko sprains his ankle and they take a hard right into what they’re truly thankful for this Thanksgiving, the end of the Band Who Shall Not Be Named’s annual concert.
