Darrell Calvillo, open piper from SoCal, is in studio with us as he was in town doing a gig with Fooko. We go on the rip and ignore him for the most part. Josh calls everyone the C word and Fooko gets drunk and fanboys out on the Wake crew. Nothing is accomplished so why listen.

Fooko is in Albany, NY for the Piper's Dojo Tuning Clinic and calls in to Josh to fit one in. We talk about whether clitoris size matters and if piping down south is a better option for Rab to stream than in NI. Fooko tells a great funeral disaster story and respond to all the feedback about the New Plan. We hit a new Fail and Win of the week and finally recap funny stories of the Dojo Tuning clinic. Tune and and feel free to let us know what you think! Fail of the week: Was sent privately as a ...

On this weeks episode, the gents go through the news of pipe bands for the week, review some more happenings from the Las Vegas Highland Games, and put themselves up for Fails of the Week. Then we get into the topic of changing the training program again to see if taking Fooko out of the loop helps the situation. They get drunk and talk in circles for way too long but hey, that's what why were here right? ***Adult language and situations*** *** Opinions expressed here are not representative of a...

Apologies for the delay on this one. Most of the Chanter Rant recording gear was stolen the weekend of the games so we had to scramble a bit to get caught up. We lost so much great material! We catch up on the happenings of the Las Vegas Highland Games, tell some stories of various ranters and their visit to Vegas and then pass out in a stupor. Check it out!

Discussions are had about the future whirlwind of Vegas debauch that is coming to her, what it's like to be in Vegas and what she want's to accomplish while here (that doesn't include filling the ovaries).

No longer content to live in obscurity, the guys finally suck enough d*ck to get someone of value on the show and then completely chanter rant the whole thing. Mega star Callum Blowmont and Matt "King Dong" Wilson join the guys to drink some beers and talk some shit. We wouldn't say so much it happened as it more happened to them. Can someone get these two ijeets a producer so they can pull a half decent interview together?! Special guests: Callum Beaumont (Triumph Street) and Matt Wilson (Field...

The reviews are in: St Patrick's Day was a smashing success, if by success you mean sh*t attacks, lame cover bands, and rough rides home. But at least some economics happened. The guys get in to all the things that happened on St Patrick's Day 2019 and likely make some enemies in the process. It's been awhile since we got angry emails so here's to pissing people off!

Fooko is back on the booze! The boys celebrate by reading some listener reviews from iTunes, and then immediately Josh loses his shit on the comments section's response to last week's episode. Ozzy Ozbroad's hit corner returns, and when their scheduled guest goes MIA the gents "make lemonade out of f#$%ing lemons" and bring back the classic Never Have I Ever with surprise guest MLK.

Oh the boys stir it up this time and go back to the topic of associations. This can't be good for anyone, especially our heroes. They do the usual BS and read some fan mail and voicemails, start a war with Rab, and shit on someone playing pipes on the internet. Then they have an in depth discussion on what should the associations be doing for us, at a bare minimum. Check it out! Please write a review (on iTunes specifically) to get your free sticker.

The Los Angeles Scots are on Grey's Anatomy TONIGHT and Colin is here to talk about the experience of being a pipe band on a major TV show and contrast that with being on the worlds worst podcast.

This week, the guys take on Honey Bourbon, a member of the Hawthorne Pipe Band in Melbourne AUS and work diligently to get him to the point with little to no success. With the loss of Bill Merriman, a giant in the West Coast US piping scene, they take on the subject of systems for pipe band and what affect Bill and the Prince Charles Pipe Band has on the San Francisco piping scene and how Hawthorne Pipe Band positively affects their home area. Oh and Honey gets drunk and Fooko farts into the mic...

In an episode reminiscent of the Big Gracenote Rant, things go tits up with Handsome Tony on the show.

The list of guests we need to have back on when we are sober and have a good show is rising steadily. Best of luck on this one. We ain't the worlds worst bagpiping podcast without reason.

In the post show, we actually get to something pipe band related, but you'll have to wait to hear that part until Fooko sobers up enough to edit that together. Cheers! Special ...
