EPISODE FORTY FOUR: Two Guys Talking Rush/ w Leslie Ylinen

Well Helloooo! Happy summer! Masks off, boom-boxes out. This week on 2GTR John and Dan tackle big topics, while massaging each others egos. No seriously…who hasn’t been ––Rush Shamed––at least once in their life? I have…and at 50 years old I am still poked fun at for digging the best damn band in the universe.

Here is a snippet of the controversial and hilariously funny piece: “... No one has ever gotten pregnant while listening to the music of Rush. Clinical studies show that when combined with watching a male sexual partner play air bass along to the extended solo in "Freewill," the contraceptive efficacy of Rush approaches 100%. ...” Leslie is a smart, and talented writer. We were honored to have her on our show. Thank you Leslie! Unstable condition? No way…this episode was a ton of fun!
