Untitled Beatles Podcast

It's the end of March Fabness, and there's no time to waste in crowning the Official Legally Required 9th Beatle.  Spoiler Alert: it's all Chicago bay-bee! Slippers for only sleepers! Glass Onions!

Everybody clap your hands, the UBP is Happy Just To Big Dance With You! That’s right: it’s March Fabness once again, and that means it’s time to crown the official, legally-Calderstone-sanctioned 9th Beatle Bracket, A Ron Howard Motion Picture. This year’s Beatle Bracket, much like the origins of the Fab 5, begins and ends in Chicago! From the Beatles BBC sessions recorded during the WLS Barn Dance, to the infamous rooftop concert atop Second City’s Pipers Alley parking lot, Chicago was the home of every significant Beatles event. Few will forget John’s touching tribute to his favorite retail emporium as a young tough, “Strawberry Marshall Fields Forever”. And much as Eleanor Rigby darned her White Sox in the night while there was nobody there (“there” being a May day game at Comiskey against the Royals - NOBODY CAME), Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey face some Malort-worthy matchups, featuring 312-flavored Beatlefigures everyone absolutely knows. And while you are only waiting for this one shining moment to arise, the boys must first settle some other business on the hardwood/hard would, such as: ☘ Did Howlin’ Frank Ifield invent Chicago blues? 🕶 Why in the fresh hell did late 80’s, Rose Records offshoot The Entertainment Outlet, always have so many $.49 cut-out cassette copies of Stevie Wonder’s “In Square Circle”? 💎🧻 (Angry Chicago Guy. He smells like a Jewel bathroom. Because there’s no cameras in there.)

In honour of spring break, it’s a super deluxe reissue of the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s third episode. Travel back to the simpler times of 2020, a world under lockdown during a deadly global pandemic, when two old friends/comedy nerds try podcasting about their favorite band on a platform called Zoom. Spoiler: the band is The Beatles. Wax nostalgic about scrubbing your vegetables with soap while reliving the golden days of Covid-19 with all the bells and whistles you’ve come to expect from today’s Tangential Twosome. Originally published June 13, 2020 T.J. turns Tony on... to two George Harrison solo albums: the self-titled 1979 studio record and the 1991 live double-LP with Eric Clapton's band. Plus detours into the Beatles Sirius channel, Mitch Weissman, Beatle baseball, and The Jimmie Nicol Telethon.   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

It’s one of the biggest albums of the late 1980’s. No, not “Small World”, Huey Lewis & The News’ misguided attempt at a jazz-pop record that sadly gave us a song called “Bobo Tempo”, and can be found in near mint condition for a dollar in used record bins across the country. Rather, dear bleeder, it’s George Harrison’s comeback album, “Cloud 9”. Led by its spirited cover of “Got My Mind Set On You”, and the unofficial theme to Disney’s Mulan (“Breath Away from Heaven”), this is a record that’s held up through the years as one of the best by a solo Beatle not named “Pete”. Tony & T.J. continue their deep-dish of this legendary album, as they explore questions about fonts, album covers, Weird Al, random Billy Joel deep cuts, and more; like: 😈 Whilst (look it up, pal) listening to the 8-Track of “Cloud 9”, do most/moist Harrison fans prefer “Devil’s Radio” (Beginning) or “Devil’s Radio” (Conclusion)? And what meta, psychological data does that provide about the listener? 🐣 Is the UBP so “woke” (ed note: gross) that they won’t let their fans eat Big League Chicken Chew before a little league game? 🏝 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s angrily waving a dirty, BMG Record Club, CD copy of “The Immaculate Collection”. It belonged to his wife, before she moved to Hammond to "find herself":) HOW COME “LA ISLA BONITA” AIN’T NO BONUS TRACK ON NO “CLOUD 9” REISSUE?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

Look. George Harrison took five years after "Gone Troppo" to complete his 1987 masterpiece "Cloud Nine", so excuse us if we take a couple weeks to wrap up our long awaited deep dish. This week, the Untitled Twotles finally get around to talking about side one, and promise not to wreck the episode with tacky gated reverb like some sorry Fine Young Cannibals knockoff.   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

After spending the past three weeks in 1995’s Anthology universe, the Untitled Beatles Podcast needs a break. So this week… we head WAY BACK… to 1987. That’s right. At long last, by popular demand—LLGH! Cheers, big ears!—Tony and T.J. delve into George Harrison’s smash-hit solo record, “Cloud Nine”, which T.J. SHANOFF LOVED LONG BEFORE ALL YOU BANDWAGON B*S. Along the way, they find time to foray into Format Foyer, and answer the pressing questions like: 📼🌴 OK, but does T.J. own the 1987 cassette released on Contessa records in Indonesia? 💿💦 Was Tony’s copy of Cheap Trick’s “Lap of Luxury” CD damaged in a flood, or by teenage Tony’s tears? 💗📻[Angry Drunk Chicago Guy] HOW COME THEY STILL AIN’T PLAYIN’ THESE BEATLE BLOWHARDS ON CHICAGO’S OWN ROCK 95.5 (AN IHEART RADIO STATION)?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

Some say the “Sgt. Pepper”, post-touring era is the peak of The Beatles recorded music. Others prefer Korn. For those who are slightly more into The Beatles, Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey deep dish Episode 6 of “The Beatles Anthology”. This has always been one of the most fertile and astonishing chapters in Beatles history, but we can all be thankful that Disney truncated it by 15 minutes for those of us in a rush. Beep beep, toot toot, no time for the “For No One” bridge, damn it! And, sure! The UBP3zteetles (you try it, tough guy) talk “Anthology” 6 in great detail, but still find time to probe the throbbing questions, like: 🏛️ Why exactly is Dhani keeping George Harrison & Yanni’s legendary collab at the Acropolis unreleased? 🍇 Ray Charles is a true all-time legend. Is his singin’ raisin doppelgänger even better? ♟️ Do most non-poseur Beatles fans think “One Night In Bangkok” belongs on “Sgt. Pepper” instead of “She’s Leaving Home”?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.

Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: "Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?" Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it’s not that bad, but c’mon Apple, it’s RUBBER SOUL! (#HeyHey #Rip) For better AND worse, Beatles Anthology 5 is much like its predecessors; chock full of incredibly remastered footage and audio; while missing certain key elements for time or perhaps simply to please a mouse. (SFX: Buzzer) Sorry! “The Mouse”! Come join Tony, T.J., and Casey as we mansplain how men mansplain Beatles stuff, and since the rule of two mansplainings cancels things out, we’ll ponder other life quandaries, like: 🏀 Do The Warriors come out to play to “Dear Prudence”, or is Steph Curry more of a “Wild Honey Pie” guy? 🏍️ Should a cover band who only does 90’s McCartney call themselves Mullet Kintyre? 🏝️ (Angry Chicago Guy: he just did a shot of Malort with an Ajax chaser): HOW COME YOKO AIN’T ON MY COPY OF “B-SIDE TO SEASIDE”?

Wait no more, it’s Anthology 4! It’s better streaming, and also way worse! It’s shorter, which is nice, and also truly stupid. Official Beatles history is being re-written forever, a travesty that's never sounded or looked so good. Yes, if you’ve also found yourself stroking out at the tightening and edits of “Beatles Anthology - 2025”, you’ve got some pals at the Untitled Beatles Podcast. We’ve never been more grateful for such glorious Beatles product, and also, hey Calderstone, WTF MY DUDES??? It’s quite the conundrum as the fellas deep dish the 4th installment of this generation’s “Frozen 2”, now with Bernard Purdie as Josh Gad. They also ask the tough questions that CBS won’t allow their remaining journalists to even consider, like: 🎟🎡 Should The Beatles have re-recorded “Ticket To Ride” with lower production value for use in The Charlie Rich Anthology? 🏈🐴 Does Ringo prefer his beloved Raiders in L.A., Oakland, or Las Vegas; or merely singing “Kicks” with Paul Revere? 🍆📦 Since Sir Paul clearly created the original “I’m On A Boat” viral smash, can we finally credit John for the original “Dick In A Box” on the Two Virgins album cover?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

Originally released September 23, 2023 No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as a small British boys school (Ringo! Ringo!), where the Beatles gave one of their longer and most interesting concerts whilst on the cusp of British fame. Recently, a tape surfaced of the mostly complete show, and like the Star Club release in 1970's, this one is truly a mammoth moment in Beatles history. Tony & T.J. gab fab on the concert, the set list, and the immense historical significance. And because they're morons, they also ponder: 🕘2️⃣🕔 Do Dolly Parton and the Twotles perform the definitive whisper version of "Let It Be"? 🎤 If you yell "How Do You Do It" repeatedly at an All Starr band concert, will Ringo and Steve Lukather feel compelled to tease it? ⚽ Would Brexit have happened had rich white British kids learned to not clap on the f**king 1 and 3, ffs?   EPISODE LINKS Max Comeau on Spotify and Bandcamp!

We pick up where we left off, in March 1963. The Gab Two follow the Fab Four along their journey in Anthology episodes 2 and 3: touring Britain, navigating Beatlemania, (probably) disappointing the Queen Mother, (probably) disappointing the boys in Paris, and—just in case you haven’t had enough coverage of it—INVADING THE STATES. #Don’tTellICE Tee-Jay and Tony continue their Disney+ Deep Dish, and in classic Gen X fashion, spend most of their time waxing poetic about how much cooler everything was in the 90s. Their nostalgic trip leads them to the important inquiries, like: ⚡️🐱‍👤 Which one’a those Mighty Morphine Power Rangers played the sax?  📰📺 How’d NBC 5 Chicago’s Carol Marin end up on CBS News? WHEN DID CAROL MARIN GO MAGA? (#buzz) 🤡🤡 Do you think middle-aged Tony regrets teenaged Tony’s decision to get a hipster Morecambe and Wise tattoo in 1993?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

Short attention spans. Am I right? I mean you’re reading this right now, when you could be with your family or punching a Nazi. (We at the UBP heartily encourage both.) Fortunately, the good folks at Apple & Disney are well aware of short attention span syndrome, most felt during slow dissolves and still images over credits. Thankfully, they’ve done us the favor of removing some incredible Beatles content to save time, all while making the remaining and new footage look and sound perfect. Less Beatles content, more commercials? What kind of Calderstoner would say no to that? In today’s episode, Tony & T.J., vaguely replicate their critically panned, cantankerous relationship from their brief run on ABC’s “The New Odd Couple” back in 1982 (when Tony & T.J. went by their stage names, “Ron Glass” and “Desmond Wilson”), and take a look at the first chapter of “Anthology…2025”. They spotlight some of the exciting easter egg discoveries, as well as some of the curious cuts and changes to satiate, I don’t freaking know, “Bluey” viewers? Biscuits! The pod world’s most serious gonzo rock journalists also ask a few other wild questions, such as: 🔎 Can The Pacemakers and The Dakotas tell the difference between The Pacemakers and The Dakotas? 🎺 Is it possible to discern who Foghorn Leghorn voted for merely by his accent, or by his penchant for fighting against the right to choose in the name of “freedumb”? #IsayIsayCancelFoghornLeghorn #Freak ☔️ Does not including any music from el groupo Rain in “Anthology” render it second banana to the Mexican-TV version of “Birth Of The Beatles”?   EPISODE LINKS Like and subscribe!

Many Beatles scholars (NOT YOU, Lewisohn) often cite this familiar and prophetic John Lennon quote: "It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From 2020 on, all crucial Beatles film projects will be kept behind a Disney paywall, where you will pay to subscribe and still get commercials'." John later relied on this memory to write the inspired-by-Joan Lunden Pepper track, ”Good Morning, Good Morning America”. (Angry Chicago Guy: AND HOW COME THEY LET STRAHAN ON THAT SHOW BUT DON’T GOT BRIAN URLACHER?) Back to The Beatles. If you weren’t aware, Disney is now streaming The Beatles Anthology, alongside a million Star Wars spin-offs from the last decade that nobody knew existed. It goes without saying that the original TV Anthology, and the vastly expanded home video version, are legendary. The latter has existed as a period piece trapped on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD since 2003, never remastered or re-issued. Until now. Tony, T.J, producer Casey, and a sassy, housemaid robot all gussied up for a new year of hilarious hijinks - it’s TGIF on A-BEATLES-C! - begin to dissect this wild re-release/re-thinking of the most important Beatles moment since their break-up in 1970. (Sorry, “Love Songs” fans. #SorryLoveSongs) But they also ask the hard hitting questions that only a Robin Roberts/Charles Gibson would ask, like: 6️⃣7️⃣ If T.J. uses a popular word from 2022 in 2026, does that give him the right to make 2025 jokes in 2029? 🦃✈ What’s your favorite generic Muzak-rock track from the Fox Season 1 DVD of “WKRP In Cincinnati”? 🍻⚪️🧦 (Angry Chicago Guy, in an admittedly lazy callback:) HOW COME THEY LET PAUL SING “TILL THERE WAS YOU” BUT THEY DON’T LET RINGO SING “SHIPOOPI”?

naaaaaa naa naa nanana naaaaaaa nanana naaaaaaa Hey Jude (now all the people in Chicago) At long last, T.J. and Tony had their chance to catch Sir Paul’s (Baby) Got Back tour in its final U.S. stop, in the finest city in the land. Sure, it’s the same show we heard Glen glow about in Iowa, and Casey canonize in the Twin Cities, and Mark marvel upon in the Big Easy, but Macca always smacks a little harder with a Malort and a side of giardinier’.

1-2-3-4! Can I have a little more? 5-6-7-8-9-10…instrumental versions of Beatles classics! Is this “The Hollyridge Strings Plays The Beatles”? Nope, it’s the CD and vinyl release of Anthology 4; not to be confused with Anthology 4 on Disney+, not to be confused with the largely different Anthology 4 on DVD/VHS. Make sense, fellow Calderstoners? With 13 new tracks, plus some choice (and, ahem, choice-adjacent) cuts from the recent deluxe Beatles reissues, there is much genuine Beatle joy to be be found on Anthology 4. A few tracks are revelatory! A few are kick ass! A few are fine! And a few too many, you can #FileUnderANap. Tony and T.J. look at the highs and lows, both musical and bourbon-influenced, of the most recent entry into The Beatles vast compilation canon. On this aural journey (#OhSherry #BuzzerSFX #ThatsSoloStevePerry), Tony, T.J., and P3Z-Nutz ask and answer the questions literally millions of podcast listeners are begging us to answer, which may-or-may-not-include: 🕎 Even T.J. wouldn’t be so crazy as to spend $17 + $10 shipping to order the new/weird mixes of “Free As A Bird” & “Real Love” on exclusive “milky-white” vinyl 45 from the Beatles online store, right? And if he did, he wouldn’t be super excited about it arriving in the mail any day now, referring to it as an “early self-Hanukkah gift” to help alleviate the guilt of spending even more hard earned money on the exact same maddening Anthology content, right? I SAID, RIGHT, DAMN IT? 📣 Should Tony’s mention of Chicago’s Drag City Records guarantee the UBP a free vinyl copy of Fred Armisen’s “100 Sound Effects” - now available in fine record stores everywhere? And should said free vinyl be sent directly to Meigs Field c/o Producer Casey, via expedited shipping to arrive in time for the holidays? 🚕 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s furious): HOW COME WFLD CHANNEL 32 DON’T SHOW THE BRADY BUNCH WEEKDAYS AT 4:30 NO MORE?

Attention Wealthy Beatles Fans (TM)! How do you feel about 13 tracks? No, not “of whack”, as Walter Becker might have presented us, while he was still alive anyway. But rather, 13 tracks of unearthed Beatles demos & takes, nearly all of which are pure gems, now available on “Anthology 4”.   Awesome, yes? Now, how do you feel about spending $74 for a deluxe vinyl package (excuse me? SIR?) with 36 tracks of whack. Does it make you feel better to know that you’re spending that hard earned cash on 36% “new” material, and; coincidentally, (Beatles) ’64% of music you already bought on previous deluxe reissues? Good news, because as the Fat Boys once sang, “Baby you’re a rich man, too!”   Look, we like to joke around at the UBP, it’s what makes us Apple’s only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD). OF COURSE we’re grateful for “new” Beatles goodies we’ve never heard before. Early takes of “Tell Me Why”! “Every Little Thing!” “In My Life”! Surely, “A4” has been curated for both the die-hard and casual Beatles fan, yes? What’s that? Oh you were expecting a “Yes, and?” Well we love improv, too. It’s our water, our oxygen, our physical fitness. In fact, improv is what makes us The Second City’s only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD).   So not only do Tony & T.J. begin to deep dish “Anthology 4: Less Faster But Even More Furious”, but they yes and themselves into veritable Don knots over:   🎱🛤️ Is T.J. forcing Tony to repeatedly listen to “Reel Music” on 8-track tape considered “trafficking”, “torture”, or “a healthy 2026 resolution”?   👏 What kind of big-production, expensive, show-stopping finale does Producer Casey have planned for today’s episode?   🥗 If Tony is Statler, and T.J. is Waldorf, does that make P3Z-Nutz “Salad”? And like anything sent to Ringo after the 20th of October, will said salad be tossed?   EPISODE LINKS Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.

It only took 29 years, but we Beatles fans finally have what we’ve all been clamoring for: instrumental “Fool On The Hill.” That’s right, Anthology 4 has arrived! Are you excited? We fans love sequels! Maybe it’s an appetizer to George Harrison’s “Early Takes Volume 2”, which is tentatively scheduled to be released sometime after we’re all dead. Fortunately, for those of us who remember the excitement for the original Anthology CD’s, the good folks at Apple have finally cleaned up the tracks from volumes 1-3. This week, Tony & T.J. instant-react to those reissues (and/or maybe remixes), in addition to previewing their full-on deep dish of Anthology 4. Along the way, the boys ask: 🤔 (Angry Chicago Guy:) HOW COME OBAMA TOOK THE MARTIN MULL SITCOM “DOMESTIC LIFE” OFF OF WOR SUPERSTATION? ANY HOW COME I CAN’T FIND “IT’S A LIVING” NO MORE? AND HOW COME NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH T.J.’S DIGITIZED COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL “DOMESTIC LIFE” EPISODES HE VCR’D FROM WBBM CHANNEL 2 BACK IN 1985? 🎹 Should the URSP’s next episode feature a deep dish on “Steel Wheels” or “Made In The Shade”? And did anyone get a little angry that the author used a compilation rather than a catalog album in the second example? Would a live album have sufficed, like “Still Life”? And can a case be made that “Flashpoint” is actually the best live Stones album, in no small part due to the presence of Chuck Leavell? 👮‍♂️ Did Family Matters’ Steve Urkel mean to take credit for 1995 Beatlemania on A-Beatles-C when he asked, repeatedly and to waves of canned/coked laughter, “Did I do that”?   EPISODE LINKS Like and subscribe!

Greetings from America where it’s our annual National-Murder-A-Turkey Week! We here at the UBP Home Office at tropical Meigs Field are beyond grateful for our listeners, our friends, our UBP families, our Patreon subscribers, Kohls Black Friday deals, and US Postal workers, who deserve our respect and a damn TIP around the holidays. This week, we show our gratitude for the many Beatles and solo Beatles projects in 2025, highlighted by the recent release of “Anthology 4”, which presents an exciting chance to buy “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) for the second time since 2019. (Who needs “Carnival Of Light” when you can have “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) on TWO pricey physical reissues?) The Turkey Trottin Two share their gratitude, and discuss a litany of holiday-themed Beatles news and releases. And they absolutely never sound like grumpy old dudes who'd rather have a deluxe Rubber Soul than a full slab of Threetles vinyl! Plus, in the spirit of the holiday season, they ponder/pander: 🏳‍🌈 How bright must a fella be to boldly boycott a major store for the wrong reasons? 🍋 Does talking about The Lemonheads count as talking about The Lemon Twigs?

AT LAST, the guys are back from their fall hiatus, in which they frantically earned as much money as possible to fund the next 12 months of profit-less Beatles podcasting. However, they're still recording new episodes for the winter season. With that in mind, this week we dig back into the archives to present one of our favorite episodes that we're kind of surprised we haven't already re-run.... our 2023 Deep Dish into all things LIVERPOOL DRAG! -------- Originally released November 11, 2023 What happens when you take the energy of Beatlemania and mix it with a helping of questionably written and performed Beatles-inspired songs? You get Liverpool Drag. Not the Beatles, but an unincredible simulation! This week, Tony & T.J. examine the early 60's phenomenon of Beatle-inspired cash-in records. Are they good? Awful? Somewhere in between? The answer is, "yes". Along the way, the Drag Duo ask: 📚 Since drag shows are unarguably killing our children, is the only solution to ban more books? Because, freedumb? 1️⃣ Who’s idea was it to exclude “Little Miss Margie” from The Manchesters “Not 1” compilation? 🗓 Come March 2024, should MadTV’s Bobby Lee become eligible for the Untitled Beatles Podcast 7th Beatle Bracket?
