The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil - A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip

August 05, 2023 11:00 - 39 minutes - 91.3 MB

What happens in Vegas… sometimes gets leaked back to your partner in your podcast feed. This week, T.J. and Tony PRODUCER CASEY trek out to the desert to take in a Wednesday evening performance of The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil. Tony and P3Z-Nutz get left behind in the studio, but may just get the last laugh, as the Drab Dos give their reviews of the show and hit on such timeless topics as: 🥩 What’s Gordon Ramsey got against Tony, and what gives with all the GI issues? (Or would they ...

Beatles Songs... That Aren’t

July 29, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 174 MB

Even the most casual Beatles fan knows that Beatles songs are Beatles songs. But did you know that *some* Beatles songs *aren't* *Beatles* songs? #RuleOfSixAsteriks "Follow me?" Or is that merely an obscure Lerner & Loewe song cut from Aaron Sorkin's "Camelot"?  Look, here's the deal: Tony and T.J. thought it'd be a literal butt-gas to explore the wild world of "Beatles Songs That Aren't: The Song Titles The Beatles Gave Away." Now on Pair records and (gentlemen, we got the) Tapes. On thei...

The Beatles’ (Fantasy) Summer LP

July 22, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 141 MB

Rumour has it, if you mash up The Beach Boys' "Endless Summer" compilation with the Grease showstopper "Summer Nights", you get 137th Beatle Richard Marx's classic cassingle, "Endless Summer Nights" (🚫) "Right Here Waiting" (🛎). But…what if you get crazy and accidentally add John & Yoko's "Double Fantasy"? MAYBE NOBODY KNOWS? (#MccartneyII #McCartneyEyeEye) Good thing Tony and TJ, 98.9's Hot FM midday summer jamz expertz, know about Summer, The Beatles, and fantasies, dear mister! And the ...

The Beatles as Sidemen

July 15, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 154 MB

If there’s one thing we know about our beloved Fabs, it’s that they all liked to get a little on the side. Know what we’re sayin’, guy/lady/however you identify, any of which is cool with us? Well get yer minds out of the gutter! Because in this episode we take a look at some of our very favorite moments with The Beatles as Sidemen, and their notable appearances on other people’s records. Some collabs (hawt pic, DM us!) make perfect sense, while some are completely random and hilarious. And,...

Please Please Me (1963) 60th Anniversary Part2

July 08, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 177 MB

Please take your seats. Where should we take ‘em?  Well, come on down to Gearhead’s Basement for part two of the best tastin’ authentic Chi-town deep dish this side of Rocky Rococo’s: part two of the UBP takes on Please Please Me! Does T.J. convince Tony that it’s one of their top long players? Do Tony’s rock and roll fantasies convince T.J. against more horns? And does the U.K. cassette running order exonerate Dave Dexter a little bit? Wait, there’s more! (#NewBenFolds) What about the impo...

Please Please Me (1963) 60th Anniversary Part 1

July 01, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 130 MB

As if there was ever any doubt, one truth was made evident in the fall 2016: Americans are geniuses! Capitol executives in 1963 were no exception, when they passed on the chance to release the first Beatles album. Then, when they finally released it in early ’65 (for roughly the 117th time - thank you, VJ! #FrankIfield), it was shortened and chopped up. But before 1987, “The Early Beatles” was all we had in the U.S. (Anyone who owned an import of “Please Please Me” did so illegally and shou...

Ringo & His All-Starr Band (1990) Part 2

June 24, 2023 05:13 - 1 hour - 150 MB

From TV's "All Star Blitz" to the the NBA all star celebrity game (feat. some dude from "Grey's Anatomy"), a collection of rando all-stars usually sucks. But not when left to the devices of our dear Ringo, as evidenced in part two of our deep dish on his first all starr band LP!Along the way, Tony and T.J. ask: 🔦🤫 Is "Shine Silently" to 1989 what "Shine Silently" was to 1979, only double? 🛥🛥 Speaking of double, If T.J. plays Double’s “The Captain Of Her Heart” on the piano for no reason, a...

Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band (1990) Part 1

June 17, 2023 11:00 - 55 minutes - 128 MB

The Traveling Wilburys were all right, even if they say you're wrong (#JulianLennon). But sometimes you gotta be strong and make the claim that they were only the 2nd best solo Beatle supergroup of the 80's. #1? Obviously, it's Paul, Linda, and Eric Stewart! Ringo and his first All Starr Band! Ok maybe that's a stretch. But as the 1990 tour LP & video show, they were a damn fine band, with a strangely cohesive line up of rock legends that Ringo would never again replicate. This week, the ...

The Beatles Sell Out: The Fab Four in Ads

June 10, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 125 MB

What makes a "sell out"? Did you sell out? Did Who? How 'bout when? Or sometimes, y? #sometimesand #provtalk And what about AI? Does it scare you? Is it weird to be scared of a 76'er who retired years ago and hated - I mean, HATED - practice? Not the game! He's talking about practice. Today's episode considers both related topics. Do commercials with covers or (ahem, sloppily edited) original Beatles music brand our beloved Fabs as sell outs? And what of Beatles AI: awful, or artful? Alon...

A Trivial Beatles Podcast - Game 1, Part 2

June 03, 2023 11:00 - 56 minutes - 103 MB

Arguably, the most famous sitcom episode of the 1990’s was from the syndicated-only “New WKRP In Cincinnati”, where station manager Arthur “Big Guy” Carlson challenges rival station WPIG to an on-air poker match. Two problems: 1) poker on the radio? WHUT. And 2) Despite the generational hilarity of its predecessor, “The New WKRP” su-su-su-su-SUCKED! What were you thinking, Bill Dial? But you know what doesn’t suck? The Beatles! And especially non-sucking is The Beatles Trivial Pursuit speci...

The Beatles’ (Fantasy) Country LP

May 27, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 128 MB

Tony & T.J. aren’t just Beatles fans. Nah, son. Look at them arms. They country strong. LOOK AT THEM ARMS! G’ON, LOOK! NOW TOUCH THEM ARMS. TOUCH THEM. NOW SQUEAL LIKE A PIG… And, like The Beatles, we at the UBP have a deep appreciation for classic Country music. (Western, however can go f**k itself. Got that, “Paint Your Wagon” soundtrack? #DrunkLeeMarvin) Based on a great episode suggestion from perhaps our youngest listener, Owen (#ThanksO), this week Tony & T.J. assemble their fantasy ...

Living in the Material World 50th Anniversary Part 2

May 20, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 137 MB

Let’s pick up where we left off! This week, the gents go track-by-track on George Harrison’s most famous Madonna cover, “Living in the Material World.” Along the way, we ponder:    🪩 How does Right Said Fred’s “Too Sexy” translate to Latin America?  🐴 How might this album be for the benefit of Mr. Specter?  📖 It’s always a shame… is the Genesis track “That’s All” superior to the album closer “That is All”…?   EPISODE LINKS: Like and subscribe!

Living In The Material World 50th Anniversary Part 1

May 13, 2023 11:00 - 58 minutes - 108 MB

George Harrison holds a special place in the hearts of the Untitled Beatles Podcast, and millions of Beatles fans. As prolific as John and Paul were, and as much as few could lay a beat down like Bernard Purdie, who overdubbed many, if not all, of Ringo’s tracks (chew on that, Lewishon), George was arguably the spirit and soul of The Beatles; no little feat. #DixieChicken Join us as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of his 1973 blockbuster, “Living In The Material World”. It heightened the ...

A Trivial Beatles Podcast

May 06, 2023 11:00 - 51 minutes - 94.6 MB

Trivia! What a silly word. I mean, how many words rhyme with “Jergens?” Feel me, Jacque? Sadly, ever since Alex Trebek pulled a (rather cowardly) #HeGone, the pursuit of trivia - Beatles and otherwise - has been largely dormant in America. But not this week! Because Tony and T.J. each break out their deluxe editions of Beatles Trivial Pursuit and play a heated, often deadly round or three of the game! But don’t you D.A.R.E. think we put the board in “bored game”! Because, madness (#OurHouse...

Red Rose Speedway 50th Anniversary Part 3

April 29, 2023 11:00 - 37 minutes - 68.3 MB

How much 'Red Rose Speedway' is too much Red Rose Speedway? It’s the age old question. Paul wanted it to be a 2-LP set. EMI said, “no”. And, with that, Macca’s recording career was effectively over. So today we’ll look at Julian Lennon’s 1989 hit, “Mr. Jordan”! [BUZZER SFX] No! It’s actually Part Three of our 17-part deep dish full-on-sausage-patty salute to Wings’ 2nd album, which sadly does not feature “Thank You Girl”. THANKS FOR NADA, DAVE DEXTER. This week, we look at Paul’s original...

Red Rose Speedway 50th Anniversary Part 2

April 22, 2023 11:00 - 58 minutes - 134 MB

Hey Weepers! Hey Creepers! Hey Hugga Me Righters! Whether dragonfly or pigeon, we think you're gonna dig part 2 of our Red Rose Speedway deep dish even more than George Leroy Chickashea loves "Ebony and Ivory" (solo version). Along the way, they take a (Cleveland) Brown Line L train around the Loup, and also discuss: 🍄 Where's the long delayed digital remaster of "Portobello Road: Mushrooms Salute The Beatles"? 🟤 Is Bernie Kosar to Paul what Brian Epstein was to John? And how come Lewisho...

Red Rose Speedway 50th Anniversary Part 1

April 15, 2023 11:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

1973 was a banner year for classic rock LPs. But from "Houses Of The Holy" to "Goats Head Soup", only one album that year rocked the loudest, hottest, and wettest: "Red Rose Speedway". Ok fine, it's not really a "rock" album. It might not even roll. But that doesn't prevent it from being an inventive and quintessentially Paul (uh, oh yeah, "and Wings") album. On its 50th anniversary, the UBP Living Un-Single pigeons extoll its many charms, in another patented, cliffhanger-laden multi-parter...

Beatle-esque Bangers II Part 2

March 11, 2023 12:00 - 35 minutes - 81.1 MB

It’s like Mark Bolan and T. Rex once said: "Get it on! Banger, Gong! Get it, Gong!” We’re not certain who Gong is - according to Lewisohn, it's longtime Lennon idol Chuck Barris -  but we’re sure fans of Beatle Bangers. And in Part Two of Part Two, we hear some killer listener-suggested Bangers, and also ask: 🤲 Would “Hans Zimmer Across America” have been more successful if came after “Rain Man”? 🎻 Is “Andrew Black Bird” really about civil rights? 🏈 And why, exactly, is longtime NFL refer...

Beatle-esque Bangers II

March 04, 2023 12:00 - 37 minutes - 86.2 MB

Most of the great American sitcoms were based on British telly shows! And “Bangers & M*A*S*H” - which, of course, in America was simply known as “Benson” - is no exception. So in belated honor of Boxing Day (“I know…I know…” - Bored Limo Driver, “Give My Regards To Broad Street”), Tony, T.J., and fact-checkin’ overlord P3Z-Nutz present Part Two, Part One of their favourite Beatle-esque Bangers: songs not by the Beatles that are clearly influenced by the music of the Fabs. The two “Great Mom...

The White Album (1968) Part 4

February 18, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 156 MB

A long, cold, lonely winter’s month of the UBP Deep Dish on the White Album comes to a ceremonious close this week! Today, we focus on Sides 3 + 4 of the most landmark double album since the forthcoming Record Store Day 2-LP (da fuq?) version of Ringo’s “Stop And Smell The Roses”. (“Private Property” > “Honey Pie”, anyone? #LoveMonopoly) In addition to analyzing the classic, punchy pop tunes (“Revolution 9”), clubby dance jams (“Good Night”), and other hits shamefully left off of Tony’s cop...

RUN! To your local White Hen Pantry. STEAL! The free 3-D glasses sponsored by WFLD-32 LISTEN! To the aural delights (cream your coffee with that, fella) of the UBP White Album Deep Dish Part 3-D! Besides generously deep dishing on Side 2 and a teeny bit of Side 3, the 2 White Album Crew (#Daring1991Jokes) also ask:  🦝 Was Bob Hope merely a comic, or was he also one of the great (Rocky Rac)crooners of his era, the late 1890's?  🐀 Is it just a Q-incidence that neither NYC nor London had rat...

It’s Part 2 of the Untitled Beatles Podcast White Album Fabstravaganza! This week T.J. and Tony deep dish Side One, going track-by-track and getting off-track-by-off-track, just like the 1987 CD did with the track separation on “Wild Honey Pie” into “Bungalow Bill”. Along the way, they ask the important questions, such as:  👅 Which part of the body is the balalaika? Is it a uvula, a female breast, or a Beatle growth? Please get that looked at!  🛏 What is A.C. “Iron Man” Green’s definition ...

The White Album (1968) Part 1

January 28, 2023 12:00 - 51 minutes - 119 MB

It was great! It sold! It's the bloody Beatles' White Album! And, no, Paul; we won’t shut up. Because part one of the UBP Deep Dish on “The Beatles” is finally here! Tony and T.J. are sniffer-level giddy to discuss this album-unlike-any-other. And in part one, the Two Little Piggies delve into the history and packaging (#DingDongDingDong) of one of only two official Beatles-canon albums to be known, colloquially, by two names. (The other is “Tomorrow Never Knows”, which most first-gen fans...

1973 Fantasy Beatles Albums

January 14, 2023 12:00 - 49 minutes - 113 MB

We asked 100 Untitled Beatles Podcast (only)fans what comes to mind when they hear the words “1973 Fantasy.” Show me, Tattoo! (Buzzer sfx.) Show me, Seven Years Pre-“Double”! (Louder buzzer sfx. Too loud, even.) Show me, 1973 Fantasy Solo LP! Survey says? (Ding ding ding ding!) (Dong dong dong dong!) Yes, it’s the 50th anniversary of one of the great solo Beatles years.

”Get Back to Let it Be” at the Rock Hall (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip Part 2)

December 31, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 138 MB

Hey pal. Yeah you, wearing that thing. You may think you’re a Beatles fan. Or that you’ve been to Cleveland’s Rock Hall. But ask yourself this question: are you Steve Vai? In Part 2 of our journey to the ‘Land to see the “Get Back” exhibit, we address this strange old question, and also tell no Vai’s about: Are the good ‘ol boys in Don McClean’s way-too-brief hit “American Pie” drinking Agave and Rye?  What torchy Beatles songs will “Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas! The Musical” include? W...

Beatle Black Friday Record Store Day

December 17, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 149 MB

If you're a real patriotic American, you spent the early hours after Thanksgiving waiting in a frigid-ass line at Best Buy at 4am to get a $199 microwave for $192.97. In fairness, it's one o'them microwaves with a built in VCR, so HELL YES. Or, maybe, like us libz at the UBP, you made your way to your local record store at a more humane hour to pick up some Beatles-related Black Friday Record Store Day vinyl? On this episode, Tony & T.J. review their RSD experience, the limited Ringo and D...

The Road to the Rock Hall (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip Part 1)

December 10, 2022 12:00 - 41 minutes - 75.9 MB

At long last (and maybe against the terms of their parole?) the guys take the show across state lines as they hit the highway on their pilgrimage to see "The Beatles: Get Back to Let it Be" at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Tony made the mistake of letting T.J. map the trip, so there might've been a couple detours to various record stores involved. Join the Madmen of Mishawaka as they crate-dig their way across the midwest, and take some time to ponder: 🏠 Who's got the more imp...

DELUXE REISSUE: Post-Breakup Compilations

An Untitled Beatles Fabsgiving Special

November 24, 2022 12:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

Were The Beatles at the very first Thanksgiving? We may never know, but we do know they wrote some great Thanksgiving-style songs throughout their career. It’s Fabsgiving on the Untitled Beatles Podcast! Gather round the UBP piano, sing along and wonder:  ☕️ Did T.J. use the remaining points on his 2007 Paul McCartney Starbucks® Card to get a discount on the forthcoming 7” Box Set?  🦃 If deep frying a turkey, should one avoid listening to "Norwegian Wood"? What about the BBC track "Set Fir...

George Fest (2014/2016) Part 2

November 19, 2022 12:00 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

It’s part 2 of George Fest! It rhymes with Pete Best, Bird’s Nest, Math Test, Chest Crest, Crest Chest, and of course—and most importantly—Breast Fest, only at Kenny Rogers Roasters. Yeah, it’s a chicken joke, perv. Sorry! “Merv”. This week, T.J. and Tony break down the second half of the film and record, and along the way consider: 🌿 Does Perry Farrell need more ginkgo biloba? 🏄 Could Al Bundy front a Beach Boys tribute band? And if so, would they be called the Married… With Siblings, Co...

George Fest (2014/2016) Part 1

November 12, 2022 12:00 - 51 minutes - 95.1 MB

Many moons ago, back in 2014, an enterprising young chap named Dhani Harrison assembled a mighty crew of musicians in Los Angeles, CA, to pay homage to his late, great father George. And ho boy did the musicians turn out. We're not quite sure who they are, since none of us owns a physical copy of the 2016 DVD and CD release of "George Fest", but they sure sound good. Join T.J. and Tony as they dish deep on Dhani's All-Star (but no Starr) Band and their broad-ranging performances of some of ...

Beatles VI (1965)

October 15, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 127 MB

At The Untitled Beatles Podcast, we’re as ‘Murican as basebrawl, hawt hogs, and Snapple Pi. And because our ethos has and always will be “Spyak Anglish”, we (fine, one of us) know(s) the correct way to pronounce Capitol’s seventh Beatles album is “Beatles VEE EYE”. Like “Vee Jay”, only instead of Jay, it’s a different word (than where you come from. #JealousJasmineGuy) Anyone who calls this record “Beatles Six” has a deep hatred for either “The Beatles Story”, or rightfully, one of the leas...

John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band’s ”Shaved Fish” (1975)

Beatles fans all over the globe celebrate John Lennon’s birthday the same way: eating a tasty Filet-O-Shaved Phish sammy while listening to the Untitled Beatles Podcast. In honor of what would have been Lennon’s 82nd birthday (woah), we break down the first solo-Beatles hits comp, and along the way ponder(osa):  🍆 Are Tony & T.J. more “radio edit” or “full length” fellas?  🧛‍♀️ Would there be a Led Zeppelin without the Hollywood Vampires?  🥒 If Jimmie Nicol was a tasty dill pickle, would...

The Fall Preview Issue

October 01, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 141 MB

Before there was streaming, dreaming, or creaming (#KramerVsCreamer), Americans were legally forced to watch the same shows at the same time. THANKS, OBAMA. There were two ways to know what to watch: boozing all day with the TV on as a dangerously hungry baby cries endlessly, or - BORING ALERT - consulting your handy TV Guide. And no issue of this once-ubiquitous weekly was more enthralling than the annual, overstuffed Fall Preview Guide. So, longtime TV Guide-devotees Tony & T.J. chose thi...
