Sixth Beatle Bracket Part 2

OK, OK, we got all our April foolishness out of our systems… now back to the VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS at hand. This week T.J., Tony, and Casey pick up right where they left off in their pursuit to crown the undisputed SIXTH BEATLE.
Join as we narrow the field down from our Sweet XVI, see whether any Cinderella stories stretch through the Final IV, and find out:
🍳 What’s Tony’s deal with Mel from Mel’s Diner?
👖 What’s Brian Epstein’s deal with trousers?
🤖🍑 What’s T.J.’s deal with robutts?
To almost quote the great Chicago Bulls play-by-play announcer Chuck Swirsky: This hotly anticipated finale is (glass) ONIONS BABY, ONIONS.

Sixth Beatle Bracket Part 1

Have you filled out your 2023 Beatles Brackets yet? WELL, HAVE YA? Because this week, we begin a two week journey (#AnyWayYouWantIt) - as seen on CBS/TBS/TNT/truTV/TNN/WOR(What is it good for?)/and your local PAX affiliate - to crown the VIth BEATLE!  Get ready for shocking upsets, cinderella stories, and a special appearance by our own Brad Nessler, Casey Baker! (Casey was also briefly handed NBA on ABC broadcasting coverage back in 2003 and was just also not ready for the limelight… Or the Medusas.)
When The Band wasn't up on cripple creek with chest fever, they had hoops fever! We do too, and in our delirium, also ask:
 📰 Why don't more wealthy Gen Z entrepreneurs invest in big-city newsstands? The fools!
 🎙 (cue angry Chicago guy) How come Lake Shore Drive gets named after Jean Baptiste Point DuSable but we don’t call the Kennedy the Biondi??? And where did my Dominicks, go guy??
 🍜 How many of y’all would listen to a podcast of #JustTony, in a race against time, and likely nude,  converting random numbers into roman numbers? How about Ramen numbers?
Buckle up and if you’re not big enough for this ride, stretch yourself like Johnny Bravo did! (That's a 2 Brady Episode Mash up for 1 Semi-Joke!) It’s the Untitled Beatles Podcast's Sixth Beatle Bracket, Part One Shining Moment!

Part 1 originally published March 26, 2022
What’s more exciting that March Madness? March Fabness, of course! You don’t need to be Jay Bilas (or South Pacific’s Luther Billis - #RayWalston) to play along with Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey, as they dramatically determine the 2022 Fifth Beatle Champion! Also, if your whole office isn’t playing along with us, they have failed and you should quit your jobs immediately. Seriously, where are your priorities?
Round one is filled with stunning, Cinderella-story upsets on the road to the title, and along the way, Beatleworld’s Jim Pantz (#HelloFriends) and Steve Weirdo debate:
📻 Was Marsha Albert her generation’s Marcia Raubach? Related: who the f are these people?
🤮 What’s more offensive: the original “Yesterday…and Today” cover, or the limited, U.S. “Two Virgins” cover with nude Dave Dexter?
 𝄢 If Stuart Sutcliffe had only lived to meet Meghan Trainor, would he be more or less about that bass?
Download your bracket here and play along! Play with us, or play with yourself! The UBP doesn’t believe in the whole “you’ll go to hell if you do” thing; hell is a construct made up to keep people in line in lieu of developing one’s own moral compass and you know what this isn’t the time or place for this we’ll do our religion episode in 2038.

Part 2 originally published April 2, 2022
Cue the synth brass and Yamaha DX7, it’s The Final Countdown to One Shining Moment; two songs definitely not written by John Tesh. Or were they?Buckle up for part two of March Fabness, where a sweet sixteen of important figures across the Beatles universe battle it out for the 2022 Fifth Beatle Championship! Awesome, baby!The matchups are intense. Neil or Klaus? Mark or Marcia? Derek or The Dominoes? Rule of threes, or just keep going?Plus, Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey consider: 😸 Which 1980’s classic cartoon cat are you: Garfield, or Stucliffe? 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Guess Who loves The Music Man? 👶🏻 How do you like your Nirvana: 7” or Cassingle?Break out the tortilla chips and lotion, standard snacks for NCAA games, or maybe the tortillas are a regional thing? (Guess) who cares, it’s time to reveal the 2022 Fifth Beatle Champion!

Beatle-esque Bangers II Part 2

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 referee Ed Hochuli such a huge Monkees fan?
These are the Tates, and these are the Campbells. And this is Part Two, of Part Two, of Beatles Bangers! #LikeAndSubscribe

Beatle-esque Bangers II

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 Moments In Beatles Harmonica” experts also consider…
💿 Are Tony & T.J. big enough to entertain America, one person at a time?
 🐜 What would you say: Poop From Above? Or Ants Marching?
🖕 Fuck you, Dan Aykroyd!
It’s Beatle-esque Bangers, Part Two, Part One!
(Please note: this is not the same content as our long-hyped, forthcoming show on Beatle-esque Bangors, where we examine how the Maharishi directly influenced the 2002 Goldie Hawn vehicle (sfx: a Ides Of March horn riff) “The Bangor Sisters”. )

If These Walls Could Sing (2022) - A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip

"They're gonna put Ringo in the movies!" - Rush, Moving Pictures
It's a Tony & T.J. Marshall Field trip to the cinema, as they bravely brave a warm, late-fall Chicago day to see Tyler Perry's Mary McCartney presents, "If These Walls Could Sing".
Spoilers, the movie and Mrs. McCartney are both delightful. Five freaking fabs!!! 
Plus:
🏊🏻‍♂️ Did T.J.'s famous faux friend, Todd Bridges, have similar or diff'rent strokes?
🚽 Hey, is Tony still in the john?
⚾️🍆⬇️ If Elton John is Derek Jeter, does that make Billy Joel Nomar Garciaparra? If so, did Billy Joel's groin also tear off while wearing a Cubs jersey?
Join Shmiskel and Shebert, at the sneak preview movies!

The White Album (1968) Part 4

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 copy of the Blue Album, the Gab Two also ask:
🐣 Do most fonts taste better (#BrownsChicken #AndPasta #SorryKennyRogers) when used in Pot Lovers Corner?
⛓ Did rapper 2 Chainz once consider calling himself 2 Mizery or 2 Anna (Go To Himz)?
💄🐆 Will the 2028 60th Anniversary remix of “The Beatles (Peter Sellers Version)” be released in a limited edition deluxe wooden crate featuring a collection of The Pink Panther gnomes? And what about The Stink Panther? #CamNewton #2020NFLJokez
It’s great, it sold, it’s the bloody Untitled Beatles Podcast’s “White Album” (sorry, a-hole, “The Beatles”) Deep Dish, part Eye-Vee! (Not affiliated with noted Des Moines-area grocery chain, Hy-Vee - where there's a helpful smile, in every aisle!)  Maybe now Bad Boy will finally get some love?

The White Album (1968) Part 3

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 rats until they had Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats"?
 🐸 How come Macca's "Unplugged" tribute to Uncle Pecos has no repeated stuttering of the common word "crambone"?
Don't be a (Henry) Winkle Picker! Maybe leave us a kick-a review wherever you rent your podcasts!

The White Album (1968) Part 2

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 of the S-word? Does that mean his least favorite Beatles song is “S-word Sadie”?
 🐾 On “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, did Eric Clapton perform the guitar solo as a teenage werewolf?
