Rush has been my favorite band for 44 years and I never wanted to meet Geddy or Alex or especially Neil . He wrote the song Limelight about “I can’t pretend this stranger is a long awaited friend “ and I totally respect his privacy and RIP Mr Peart . I saw Rush 54 times from 12/8/85 to 8/1/15 and it was a hell of a ride 🥁👌😎😊

[@anthonyfamularo8875]

I must've seen Geddy a dozen times in Toronto over the past 40 years, just going about his day, on the sidewalk or in a restaurant or wherever, and for a brief second I have an urge to say something to him, but then I realize how I'd probably feel about strangers accosting me daily, regardless of their intent, and I say nothing. You know, now that I think of it, I don't recall ever seeing Alex or Neil, and I think that's because I never really watched their performances until recently, and just listened to the recordings, and on first glance they're just non-descript white guys like me, just 15 years older, so they didn't warrant further notice. In other words, I certainly DID see those two from time two time, I just didn't recognize them. But Geddy has always had such a distinctive look that you DO give him the second glance that makes your brain click.

[@tenn_ore]

Right? These guys weren't jerks about it, but they'd prefer to just meet a random stranger who had no idea who they were and just talk about whatever. If you want to know about the other stuff just read or watch an interview. They were interested in so much more than what they did for their day job.

Jordan Schlansky knows what he's talking about: I've got a number of versions of Moving Pictures on CD and none sounded as good as the original LP I bought back in '81. And that was the Dutch pressing (which was the one I got since I happen to live in the Netherlands). The clarity and punch of the LP was incredible.

[@dHolbach77]

Original CD pressings sound great too. It's because from the 90's on digital formats have been cooked to be LOUD due to the LOUDNESS WARS. New vinyl doesn't suffer this either because it's hard to cook vinyl to be overly loud. So recent Rush vinyl releases tend to sound good too.

As a Rush fan, Jordan is actually being fairly tame.

I love that they are officially an old fashion "comedy duo". The disfunction is so perfect.. and I admit I also search out the best mastering of my favorite records. He isn't wrong about the "loudness" war of modern masters. It takes out so much detail and nuance to the recording. Some music that doesn't matter, but some it matters quite a bit if you really want to hear precisely what the artist is getting across. Sometimes there are full parts far in the background of the mix that can't be heard with modern "loud" mastering.

I respect Jordan so much for how he handles jokes no matter how extreme it’s actually insane. I cannot name another human to take it as well as him. I wish I could be like that.

"You know what might be interesting? To hear Geddy Lee talk about Rush" LOL

[@dmajumdar2059]

Jordan is so eloquent that he is very at ease in any situation. He just knows how to react. Like how he handled it when Conan had Geddy Lee insult Jordan by saying that he wouldn't let him stay at his place. Love Jordan!

[@cindyo6298]

He doesn't know how to react, he has one setting 🤣

Best part of the video 😂😂😂

[@Slendergraham]

My husband got me a short little personalized video from Jordan for my last bday. My husband’s favorite band is Rush and he is currently reading Geddy’s memoir. This video is all my worlds colliding!😂

[@rswilson5207]

I’m still laughing at Geddy saying “F@ck no!” … I love the Tarana (Toronto) accent on it!

[@travisazzopardi8024]

Born and raised in Toronto and we pronounce it more like "Trono". My best friend was business partners with Alex Lifeson and used to play tennis with Geddy and I was lucky enough to meet both of them and got Alex to sign my Strat and a Hemispheres CD cover and Geddy signed my Fender P bass. Both really nice guys and Alex was funny af. Wish I got to meet Neil too but I can't complain cause as Meatloaf says "two outta three ain't bad." Lol 😂 😎

[@triscadec]

@@travisazzopardi8024 LOL. Growing up in the US, close to the border, I watched a lot of HNIC. I learned two things. Toronto is pronounced "Trono", and Detroit is pronounced "Di-troy-it" 😄

[@mohamed_m_hagag]

Whenever Conan made Jordan meet any of his idols, it didn't end well for Jordan, that is why Jordan said "Oh Yes" when he saw Geddy Lee He was nervously wondering what kind of prank Conan has planned for him

I was extremely lucky seeing Rush live in New Orleans for “The Time Machine” tour. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen. This is the collaboration I didn’t know I needed.

[@averagefern8239]

Always a good time when Jason Schlansky and Conan get together.

[@420bobby69]

I love the pure glee you hear in Conan's laugh when Geddy Lee calls Jordan Jason.

[@mikecronis]

I've thought a lot about this video, and I think about Jordan a lot as one does. I think Conan made him a bit embarrassed about his love of Rush and so Jordan downplayed it quite a bit, or tried to anyway. Most Rush fans would have such an exposed nerve on a personal level to meet one of the members and I think Jordan was a bit intentionally reserved about it in case Conan weaponized it against him for entertainment purposes, which he did after all anyway. If Jordan reads this, he can call me anytime and we can discuss Rush all day if he likes. Somehow, someway, a lot of us really get Jordan and can relate. Jordan is awesome.

[@millerbeer01]

Epic. Rush has been my fav band for 40 years and I've always hoped that Geddy would be on "Conan Needs a Friend". Maybe that can happen, the sooner the better. Also, we played Jason.

[@rustyshackleford3884]

This is now an iconic Jordan moment, the last half of this is beautifully unhinged

[@PDXguitarfreak]

Conan's "air drumming" is so off 🤣

[@luissabathie4225]

The last few seconds felt like the Jack Nicholson - Tom Cruise exchange in A Few Good Men: “I want the truth”… “You can’t handle the truth”, with Jordan relenting: “There, I said it!“ We need way more of this.

[@keys5027]

I pray that Geddy called him Jason on purpose that would be so perfect 💀 if every guest on Jordan’s episodes calls him Jason as a recurring joke that would be hilarious

[@carolwisniewski6740]

Love this!!

"Guuhh. excuse me, Mr Simpson. On the Itchy and Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?"

[@paradoxparade1]

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, heheh, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Geddy’s autobiography is well worth the read (or listen). There are important sections about the Holocaust, and the horrors his parents went through.

[@jerichocruzado]

Conan and Jordan conversations are the only conversations that have me sweating from laughing

[@smithworks9057]

I watched this because I thought I'd get a chuckle. The clip ended with this going down in history as one of the best ever from this duo!

As a huge Rush fan, hearing someone say "Oh yes" upon meeting Geddy Lee is....something.

I was there! I was at the Presto Concert at the Palace in Detroit. The first concert my soon to be wife (of 34 years now) and I attended together. My first ever concert was Hemispheres in Saginaw, Mi.

The Palace show was my first, although I discovered Rush between Moving Pictures and Signals.

[@shawnkhodai7665]

9:49 might be the hardest Conan laughed. All Conan’s life he’s been constantly burning Jordan for being a weirdo, and finally the ultimate person to Jordan dished the hardest burn and it came out of nowhere and Conan totally lost it.

[@gbowers]

I wonder if Jordan is aware of and possibly likes Geddy Lee’s solo album from 2000 called 'My Favorite Headache.' The entire album is brilliant and I absolutely adore it and wish Geddy would’ve made more solo music. I implore any Rush fans to check it out if you don’t know of it and haven’t heard it before.

[@orcanimal]

This entire show needs to be on KZbin... I know they got a contract with Sirius, but this is just gold

I met him in 2019 in Philly during his first book tour. It was a brief encounter, but I got to exchange a few words with him, he personalized and signed my copy of the book, and he gave me a fist bump. It was surreal, but Geddy was super chill. Awesome experience :)

[@ajlynch5235]

I legit feel Jordan is nervous talking to Geddy and has trouble looking him in the eye (even though hes on a screen.) He really does appreciate him being there and he tries so hard to remain professional without fanboying out

Jordan helps me feel better a lot. Listening to him, watching his victims listen, I think I'm not sooo bad at all.
