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!

The Blottos are back, and we don't miss a beat as we tackle a bevy of topics such as the long lost Rubber Soul movie, the importance of the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere, It's a Paul World After All, the Scar Tissue audio book, the potential of seeing Paul in the Hamptons, the state of movie theaters, Modeloritas, and the Epstein files.  Finally, we turn up the volume as we discuss the George non-banger "I Need You."

The Blottos start by getting back to their theater roots with an update on the Blotto Beatles: The Musical. From there we welcome guest and comedian Julie Klausner as we discuss if “Marmalade Full of Botulism” is the best Warren Zevon record; if Ringo has actually ever had pizza;  opinions on Bill Burr, Billy Corgan, and Ben Franklin; if the Blottos are cats or dogs; if birds ever wing; and the Broadway cover “Til There Was You.” 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!

Have you ever wondered what it's like behind the curtain of a Blotto Beatles recording session?  This intro peels it all back for a look into how the sausage is made.  We really get down to business after that as we....take an episode we recorded for Ranking the Beatles and put it up on our feed.  With that, we have our usual fun as we are joined by one of our original pod pals in Jonathan Pretus of Ranking the Beatles to discuss if Tommy's impression is more Leno or Tyson, Ringo's feet, the Billy Corgan and Bill Burr brotherhood, Scotty's caricatures, the Blottos replacing Billy Joel in his MSG residency, how the Blottos sleep, lots about Crocs, lots about Garbage Pail Kids, and the Larry Williams original, Slow Down. We say it several times in the episode, but if you're headed to the Fest for Beatles Fans in New Jersey during the weekend of March 28, please make sure to come up and say hi and don't forget to swing by and see our live podcast episode with Jonathan.

The Blottos hit the double ochos by playing a voicemail from the fictional world of Knives Out, hitting a very early Magical Mystery Word, questioning when the last time was that people saw Ringo's eyes, complimenting Becker's Joe Walsh impression, suggesting that Scotty add a cowboy hat to the ensemble, mixing cocktails live on air, apologizing to the Larrys of the world, and diving deep into the many layers of the critically underrated Glass Onion.  Mix up a Gibson and join us for the ride.

The Beatles changed the world with three simple words: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah—and we’re here to overthink (and over-drink) every last one of them. This week, we take a deep dive into She Loves You with James Campion, author of Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude. We discuss everything from Paul’s dad’s questionable lyrical edits to the harmonic genius behind this early Beatles barnburner. Plus, we take a few detours into dramatic readings, home decor philosophies, and the eternal question—does this song still slap after five pints? Where does this iconic track land on our ever-expanding, ever-argued-over Big Ol’ List of Beatles Songs? Tune in, pour one out, and find out. Out now—dig it! Where does this absolute ripper land on our big ol’ list of Beatles tunes? Stick around, pour another round, and find out.

The Blottos start with a review of the new Beatleverse trailer before diving headfirst into a full-on banger of a Beatles track with author Jack Marriott; from there we quickly dive into our day drinker, the fingerpicking murders of Donovan, cozying up to a bar on a Sunday Funday, the upcoming bangers and clangers to be tackled, having a plastered pilgrimage through Beatledom, drinking above pubs that hold 50-year-old birthday parties, Manchester Britpop, rucksacks with old cassettes, being shit faced at the end of the bar and requesting Flowers in the Dirt, if Paul knows how much a pack of cigarettes costs, Tommy marketing himself as an audiobook reader, and all the magic parts that add up to the travel-focused "Ticket to Ride." Don't forget to go to Microcosm Publishing and pick up Jack's book, Beatles Blackouts. Use code BEATLESMONUMENTS for a discount!
