We dive back into Beatles for Sale by talking about the Beatles stomp and clap connection, the clear ties between Beatles covers and LeBron signing to the 76ers, the Lennon / Claypool Delirium, Beatles branding, frozen pizza sponsorships for Blotto Beatles, getting Taco Bell by mistake, if Tommy should wear Nantucket red pants to an upcoming wedding, and our thoughts of the new McCartney record with the greatest Paulfessional, Mr. Sam Whiles. ...so we didn't really talk Beatles for Sale at all.  But we did eventually get to talk about the medley Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey and the two things Paul did better than John.

We uncover the real story behind Paul's stolen bass before we dive into hippie phases, mens' bootcut jeans and chunky necklaces, giving the Doors a chance, celebrating the Beatles' mistakes, being a cameo in the Springsteen biopic, Springsteen in spandex, Paul slagging on Dylan, Sitar Center, and the harmonium-backed "The Word."  And we do it all with the talented and wise Sam Popkin.

Were you looking for more episodes of our new spinoff "Unsung Heroes of the Beatles with Tommy?"  No?  Well we have some anyway, with our guest Mr. Richard Pritchard, who hits an early Magical Mystery Word. In the episode proper we talk about the sexiest professions, the new Ringo release, if Taylor is above Ringo on the Illuminati scale, the Billy Preston doc, the best rock and roll codas, and the cheeky bop, "Lovely Rita."

We got a tease of the new McCartney record and we drop it to you! From there we don't talk about the Goo Goo Dolls, but we do discuss if we would go to space (or even just countries that start with "Sp"), how many copies of the new Macca record Becker will buy, our thoughts on the first single drop, and the Maharishi-inspired diss track, "Sexy Sadie."

We're back baby!  We kick back into the world of Blotto Beatles with news of the deluxe HELP! edition and its accompanying advertisement.  From there we discuss the magic of late nights, small Macca shows, Macca in Dune 3, the Wings doc, Scotty's review of the Barry Keoghan oeuvre, what would happen if Tony Danza played Ringo in the new Beatles movies, and the potential one-night-stand of Help's "The Night Before."

It's our 100th episode!   We celebrate with a call from our attorney, a discussion of the Beatles casting, the first installment of our Beatles Actor Book Club series, more conversation about face filler than we thought possible, curiosities about Lennon's legacy across generations, and a look back through the years of Bloto Beatles.  All the while we are joined by our incredible guest Sophie C. who brought a banger of a track with "Don't Let Me Down."

We start episode 99 with a classic Blotto Beatles Del Shannon/Dave Pirner mix up.  From there, we spend 10 minutes quoting Schwarzenegger, discussing our favorite Christmas music, offering an A-Paul-ogy, forgetting which songs we've talked about, creating a ramp up plan for the upcoming Beatles movies, revisiting pants, soliciting for SunCruiser sponsorships, and questioning a change in the Beatles with the Hard Day's Night closer, "I'll Be Back."

Do you like cease and desist letters from Paul McCartney dramatically read by Canadians?  Then you've come to the right place.  After that, episode 98 kicks off in earnest with a discussion o which Beatle would be the best to go on a road trip with, a little more Anthology reflection, Andrew Dice Clay and Mitch Hedburg talking Beatles, and a big Beatles track with our new friend, actor and musician Andrew Gower, who maybe turns us around on the Phil Spector produced, The Long and Winding Road. Andrew was a heck of a guest and is a wonderful musician.  Check out his band Gustaffson wherever you get your music.

What was it that made Paul McCartney's bass sound so unique?  We dive into that before welcoming our amazing guest, Diallo Riddle, and talking best Beatles roommates, a lot of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the strange creepiness of The Magical Mystery Tour Cover, and the sped up b-side Rain.  Is it the best Beatles cover?  Where does it land on our big old list?  Listen in to find out.

We had to start in the way all of the Beatlesphere is this week, with a reflection on the release of Beatles Anthology 2025.  Once we express our feelings on that, we transition into our episode proper and cover rock bands with two lives, our Beatles themed tombstones, some Paul love, some Jeff Tweedy love, mixed feeling on James McCartney, and the Beatles Beverly Hills phase.  From there we are joined by our favorite neighbor from the North, Ethan Alexanian, to discuss a little more about James McCartney and the Brill Building cover, Chains.

We are on the road to Episode 100, and number 95 can only start with a voicemail from a bonafide famous person that includes the story of two mice named Gary and Steve.  From there we wonder if the story of the Beatles is a sad song, if the Beatles should have cameos in the Beatles movies, if Sam Whiles is still mad at our takes on seasonal Beatles records, if Paul's demo of this track was recorded on a voicemail to Jane, why the Beatles felt so rushed on Rubber Soul, if you should write breakup songs while staying in your girlfriend's parents home, if an Astin Martin leaves Liverpool at 3pm how long it takes to get to Jane's photo shoot, how many terms Becker has for hi-hats, and where the bounce is in Paul's "You Won't See Me."

Tommy starts by telling the other Blottos about the secret side project he's been working on.  From there we do some great Foley work before bringing back fan favorite Sam Whiles to discuss our feelings on the revisited Beatles Anthology, Sam's personal project of making a McCartney-only Beatles Anthology, the story of a friend who encountered Mark David Chapman, our new show pitch "Mark David Chat, Man," seasonal Beatles, Ringo's art show, Ringo's charity to support charitable organizations, and the timpani-heavy "Every Little Thing."

The Blottos made the news!  After we revel in the attention of Deuce Newsington, we talk about our poddy count, take heat on Blotto Vetoes, review portions of the Billy Joel doc, wonder if the microphone really smells like a beer, debate which Blotto would play best on NPR, and dig into what was our long lost pilot track of "I'm Only Sleeping," with our new friend Mary Devlin.  Play it in reverse and you might find a secret track.   As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us ([email protected]), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).  We want to hear from you!
