Untitled Beatles Podcast

Listen.
Do you hear that?
Those are crickets.
Crickets at the Marriott Suites O’Hare, abandoned site of Chicago’s Fest for Beatles Fans. Unfortunately, there are no humans at this year’s festival as it has been postponed to retool. #KitO’ReToole

Some of the crickets are in ill-fitting Sgt Pepper costumes, others don obscure Beatles ephemera while wacking tambos to off-key “Yellow Submarine” singalongs, and a small number of lonely small-minded crickets are still wearing their pit-stained anti-Yoko t-shirts, repping for the original incels.

Oh and look!
There’s even an aphid who’s a Pete Best Look-A-Like and a corn weevil that’s dressed up like Freddy Krueger for reasons unknown.

As all the bugs scramble for crumbs of pre-packaged microwaveable hoagies while waiting for “Termites from Midge Ure’s Tour Bus” to perform a medley of deep cuts from Press To Play, the Goys of Dum Dum Lame, joined by Producer Casey, are here to gab sad about this year’s absence of fab community celebration. Let’s take a few questions from the crickets:

🎤 Why does Mike Love lip sync live in concert to RFK’s rendition of “Kokomo”?

🥽 With regards to the future of the festival, will there be a VR helmet to unsee “Give My Regards To Broad Street”?

🎵 Angry Drunk Chicago Cricket: HOW KUM DA KAREEOKE KARENS WON’T LET ME SING “GIVE ANT FARMS BACK TO THE ANTISH"?? WHADDOO DEY GOT AGAINST ANTS?  MY GREAT GRAMPA WUZ HALF ANT!!

Plus Producer Casey has the boys play a game and T.J. reveals how many BeatleFests he has attended in his half-century on earth. Wait. He doesn’t reveal this. Well, okay. The answer is also a number associated with a Ringo Starr #1 from “simpler times.”

Beatle Bangers? I barely even Beatle knew’ers! Is this thing on? No, for real, is this thing on? The microphone in my hand, I mean. Is it on? Can people hear these bits or is the silence merely judgement? What if the XLR is broken? Or the DI? Maybe the audio fella’s on coke? Surely that’s possible, but what if the silence is because these “jokes” are terrible? And maybe they’re not even jokes at all, but more of a psychological crisis, thinly masquerading as “comedy”? If so, would there be more questions like:

🥩 Is Tony proud of his time as script supervisor of “The Bear”, or does he wish he was old enough to have been around professionally for a more classic show, like “One Day At A Time”? Or the reboot of “One Day At At Time”?

👆 Were The Pointer Sisters so excited to sing on Sesame Street that they did an Automatic Fire Slowhand Neutron Dance? And should the sisters be institutionalized, perhaps at the Pointer institute?

🚨 Is the discovery of R. Stevie Moore’s performance of “Pink Litmus Paper Shirt” at the 1999 Beatlefest more or less exciting than the Star Club tapes in ’77; or at least more than the Horst & Fred Fascher tunes?

The great Todd Rundgren once sang, "I don't wanna work, I wanna Beatle Banger, all day!"

Well, Mr. Motor City (sorry Jack White! Not sorry, Kid C&ck!), the UBP is back with yet another powerful/perhaps controversial edition of UBP Beatle-esque Bangers! These are, well, bangers that the UBP-3 believe share lysergic properties with songs written by the Fab 5, and perhaps, one or three of Tony Sheridan's #BeatBros. Do you like these bangers? Do you prefer post-bangers, e.g. Bangers and AfterMASH? Do you want more questions, like:

💣 Angry Chicago Guy: "How come Harry Schmerler don't sing no Rockabye My Baby when I told him that Diane's '84 Ford Taurus exploded and that's why I ain't seen her no more?"

🧐 Which one's the musical jerk-off: those who insist it's 1 measure in 7/8, or 2 measures in 3/4 then 4/4?

💩 Does anyone still confuse Seals & Crofts with Deals & Craps, the ill-fated, early 90's warehouse store exclusively stocked with like-new, deeply discounted items because they're soiled in stranger poo?

To quote the great Rob Thomas, "Man it's a hot one!" This week, the guys are keeping cool ("So cool" -- Rob Thomas) and we hope you are too. And, frankly, we like our hot summer days like we like our Let It Be... Naked!

Please enjoy this classic from the UBP stacks.

Originally aired 10 July, 2021

Take it off! Wait, leave some on! In anticipation of the continuing delay of Peter Jackson's Get Back film, T.J. and Tony react to the recent Vanity Fair teaser about said project, then delve into the first revisionist history attempt of The Beatles swan song, 2003's Let It Be... Naked.

They dissect the merits and flaws of these stripped down "newer phase" mixes, and reveal which bits they prefer clothed. Meanwhile, Tony impresses T.J. with his Star Wars knowledge, T.J. impresses non-listeners with his musical theatre knowledge, and the two explore Harry Caray backwards masking, Rappin' Rodney and the cola wars.

As always our producer Casey comes to the rescue with any trivia TJ and Tony deem too difficult to google. We hope you dig this episode as much as you dig a pony or a pygmy… Naked.

The Untitled Beatles Podcast has done it!

We are Free As A Bird from Disney’s Beatles Anthology!

There were moments of Real Love; Now And Then. But would the new Episode 9, comprised largely from the 2003 Special Features DVD, provide some Hope Of Deliverance? Would the new episode finally bring T.J. Off The Ground? Is Producer Casey Looking for Changes in how it’s edited? Does Tony simply want Peace in the Neighbourhood, allowing us to enjoy the old and the new? Also, what’s with all these “Off The Ground” references, did this week’s randomly selected writer run out of ideas? WTF, now I Owe It All To You, to explain? Nah, son - Get Out Of My Way. This one’s called Biker Like An Icon, you Golden Earth Girl, female animal.

So, uh, yeah; do join us as we conclude our deep dish of Episode 9 and also ask:

☕ Did Mal Evans put copies of Elvis Costello’s “Spike” in the English tea of EMI engineers? 

🌷 Does the Untitled Beatles Podcast exist without Gus, the Tufts band who later changed their name to Guster, and gave us one of 2003’s greatest hits, “Amsterdam”?

🍻 (Angry Drunk Chicago Guy, he’s super horngry): “How come Chicago ain’t got no improv pizza animatronic kids theater called 'Showbitz Pizza'? And how come I can’t legally be near kids no more since I pee’d on that family at Comiskey?"
