Saturday Nov 05, 2022
We're back! Our super deluxe vinyl box sets arrived in the mail, and Tony and Teej are ready to dish even deeper on the sparkling new Revolver remixes, bonus tracks, and beautiful accompanying 100-page book.
At least Tony is. T.J. might've taken one too many edibles and spent the week listening to Eddie Murphy's 1993 Motown Records sensation Love's Alright.
TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

Saturday Oct 22, 2022
Saturday Oct 22, 2022
In anticipation of THE BIG DROP coming this week, T.J. and Tony (a.k.a. The Tab Two #sponsored #by #nutrasweet) dig into some of the teaser tracks already released, and then present the Super Replayable Super Re-Run Edition of our 2020 Deep Dish of Revolver.
Be sure to follow our socials for details about our LIVE REACTION TWITCH & SHOUT coming soon!
-----
Originally released November 14, 2020
It's time to serve up a deep dish of The Beatles most colorful LP with a b/w cover.
In this episode, T.J. and Tony talk ADT, LSD, Geoff Emerick recording techniques, and the Alan Civil War. Plus diversions into the goth Lennon & McCartney, Rupert the Bear, The Frogs, and the Soul Train Scramble Board.
Revolver's track-by-track musings come augmented with enough collector scum needle drops to power a small, fab village, including a sample of their favorite punching bag, 60s Capitol Records honcho Dave Dexter.
Turn off your mind, relax and float tangentially.

Beatles VI (1965)
Saturday Oct 15, 2022
Saturday Oct 15, 2022
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 least popular/worst selling albums ever released, “Meet The Beatles”. Still, semantics aside, Tony & T.J. continue their journey - with Open Arms - into the Beatles Capitol albums with a look into this surprisingly great (Chris) hodgepodge of songs, including a song the U.K. didn’t even hear until the following year. How ya like them Snapples, Thatcher?
Along the way, the two UBP Bad Boyoyoyoyoy’s tell you what they see about:
🐴 Is the mistress of the dark, Elvira, actually a horse? And if so, what does it take to get her to giddy up a-oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow, heigh-ho Silver, away?
🍗 Is your favorite BBQ prepared with KY Masterpiece, or are you more of a dry rubber?
🕎 If Drunk Billy Joel shows up to a Hanukkah party, and the house burns down, did he indeed start the fire? Or was it a lethal combination of crack and Bernie Goetz?
How to pronounce this album’s title is as contentious as rock & roller cola wars, so don’t take it anymore, and instead enjoy our deep dish on another fab, million’ selling Capitol album! Now Dominic Chianese, behave yourself!

John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band’s ”Shaved Fish” (1975)
Saturday Oct 08, 2022
Saturday Oct 08, 2022
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 Jimmy John’s charge him to eat himself?
Like and subscribe, but never bike and imbibe; lest you be an imbibecile. Oh yeah? Then you write the jokes, pal. (Seriously would you?)

The Fall Preview Issue
Saturday Oct 01, 2022
Saturday Oct 01, 2022
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 this legendary format to preview the absurd number of Beatles-related product coming out this fall, as well as a recap of some summer repeats. But wait! Subscribe today and you’ll get:
👍 CHEERS: Is NBC’s Prime Time at 6:30 and NBC’s Prime Time at 7:30 the same thing? Or did they feature different shows/strokes/sheriffs?
👎 JEERS: Do the Brecker Brothers still host Breckers with the Beatles? Or are they merely a long running Ted Danson show that nobody actually watched?
👍 CHEERS: Did Svengolie record his sexy sax solo on a new Ringo track in BERWYN?
It’s the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s Fall Preview Guide - airing exclusively on Channels 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 32, 44, 50 (née 60), and WGBO TV Superstation 66.

BeatleFest 2022 (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip)
Saturday Sep 24, 2022
Saturday Sep 24, 2022
Since 1974, Beatlefest aka The Fest For Beatle Fans has been a safe space for Beatle nerds, kooks and sniffers to gather, celebrate and inhale everything fab. On this magically mysterious tour, Tony spends two days reporting to T.J. from the 2022 festival in Chicago. Posing as a journalist, Tony asks the hardest-hitting questions in order to get to the bottom of this whole “Beatles” thing. Such as:
📸 How many tambourines were used by the people under the stairs jam band? The correct guess wins an autographed 8x10 glossy of the Ringo look-a-like guy!
🦸🏻♂️ Why didn’t Billy J Kramer or Chris O’Dell participate in the Beatles LARPing experiment?
🧼 How much should a Young & The Restless LP in fair condition retail for? (Yes T.J., it’s a first pressing on Nuance Records.)
Hear snippets from Mark Lewisohn, Michael-Lindsey Hogg, Laurence Juber, Terri Hemmert, and other beautiful Beatle people.
Plus, a new segment called Nerking, in which The Untitled Beatles Podcast interviews regular working people about The Beatles in the workplace.
A splendid time is guaranteed for some!

Saturday Sep 17, 2022
Don’t know about the future - that’s anybody’s guess - but exclusive b-sides are, shamefully, a thing of the past. Well, in our opinionation, the solo Fabs all released some killer exclusive-to-45 b-sides. And in part two of 70’s solo B-sides, we look at 397 Macca tracks, and maybe show some love to sixth Beatle Yoko and her husband gah can’t think of his name rn!
Obligatorily, the Side Two’s tackle these topics:
🇯🇲 Which Raggae legend do you prefer: (Thunder) Bob Majerle or Spaggy?
🏴 What does Tony think of Paul’s classic, Scotland-only album, “Bagpipes Of Peace”?
🇺🇸 Did Witchy Woman In The City Sally G Please Come Home For Christmas On The Border Victim Of Love Doolin Dalton? #Desperingo

70s Solo B-Sides Part 1 (Ringo & George)
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Untitled Beatles Fans, What’s Happening!!! Hey, hey hey! (#StanleyClarke) Which Doobie yoobie is b-sides the point. And b-sides, today’s show is Solo 70’s B-Sides that weren’t married to an LP; from the absolute classics (“Blindman”, “I Don’t Care Anymore”,) to the hated-by-real-fans missteps (“Daytime Nighttime Suffering”, “Move Over Ms. L”). In this episode, the Off White T’s focus on Flingo & George (Tuesdays, on BBC1), and also consider: 🎸 Are The Byrds really “just alright” with Jesus?
🍆 Should Tony be concerned about his #ThrobbingGristle?
❄️ How come that lib Ringo didn’t call his classic “Chachi-Chachi”?As George once said, we had a B-sides podcast episode to make, ladies and gentlemen. And we made two. Come back next week for the thrillington (angry Chicago voice: DAT’S NOT A B-SIDE) conclusion of solo 70’s B-Sides from John and an old estranged fiancée called Paul.

Fantasy Solo Set Lists
Saturday Sep 03, 2022
Saturday Sep 03, 2022
Here at the Untitled Beatles Podcast, we have more than only fans. Not only fans like #OnlyFans, we’re old AF and don’t exactly know what that is. (Casey might. Damn millennial…)
But we’re fortunate to have fans who contribute to the vibe and content of our show. And in this episode, we salute many of our contributing listeners, including one Young Chosso (Thursdays on CBS), who provides the impetus for our topic: Fantasy Beatles Concert Set Lists, or FCBSL for the acronym-heads or AH’ers….
Tony and T.J. create fantasy tour set-lists for John, Paul, George, and Ringo - tho sadly not Jimmie, the famous third and (not Pete) Best Beatle. Along the way, the Two T’s consider other deep n’ nerdy Beatles topics, like:
☝️ Should the Bloody Beatles White Album, shut up, only have had songs from the far more adventurous “Beatles 1”?
🐻 You’re looking at the Fridge (not Danimal), he’s a rookie, he may be large, why’s Tony dressed like a cookie?
👚 When Ringo takes off his Caveman blouse, does he get blisters on his dingers?
Whether you like your fantasy Fab concerts at Soldier Field or a maternity ward in DuPage County (future home of Da Bears) come take a Magical Fantasy Liverpool Oratoritour with us!
