No effin way, Chaz n Schatz score an exclusive RushRash interview with Definitely The Real Alex Lifeson! Seriously, you read that right, only here on RushRash.
Who on earth would go around impersonating the likeness of a definitely real Rush celebrity, and not expect a visit from the men in their little white suits...well, this other guy Tony Binns is the guy. Meet Canadian writer, comedian, dungeon master, garden gnome, and demon slayer Tony Binns from Calgary Alberta. We take a whOle deep, penetrating look into his mind Tek-style, looking for the whOle story with why this otherwise normal nerd would create this fake persona that attracts a following of over 1,000 and growing since January. And they get it and all play along nicely...or not. It doesn't matter, he fits right in here, and so we have Definitely The Real Alex Lifeson taking up a permanent seat on the Council of Rushians, given just how certifiably nuts this character really is...
- How all this madness started and how it took on a life of it's own.
- How a transformative social media acknowledgement from "Geddy Lee" turned out to be not quite what Tony expected.
- Being a comedian on the circuit with lots of Rush material...is that like a Dad Joke Toast Master?!
- Building a following in five months and taking your schtick to the next level.
- Growing up nerd and ending up having a great freaking time every day of your adult life thanks to Rush.
We go off the rails on many topics with what's going on in definitely for real this time, the real, real Alex Lifeson's latest track with Today Was Yesterday, My New Low. We sprung a RushRash Case 911 with this one! (More on that later...)
We name-drop some of our usual suspects like rushvault.com, and we are always thinking about rushisaband.com, and our fantabulous sponsor, Danforth & Pape and while we didn't name-drop them this week, we are loving our newest sponsor, podcastle.ai!

Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is the only podcast dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies.
Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?! Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.
