Beatle-esque Bangers IV (Part 2)
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?

Beatle-esque Bangers IV (Part 1)
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?

Deep Dish: Let It Be… Naked (2003) - Replay!
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.

Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9 Part 2
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?" EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe!

Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9
Since it’s a holiday weekend, this episode’s blurb was written by A.I. (American Intelligents) Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! And hey America, what better way to celebrate than with an American podcast about the world’s most famous American group, The Beatles!! We salute these Beatles American hometowns: John - Menlove Ave, New York City Paul - Forthlin Drive, Carolina Shores, NC George - Wavertree Hall Farm, Virginia Ringo - Dingle, Idaho And since The Beatles have been #1 in America’s heart since 1776, scientific statisticians - using recent census figures combined with ATV sales and the market price of halibut - have proven that 9 is truly a magical number. Por ejemplo: 9x4=36 There are 4 Beatles but really there are 36! So this week the Untitled Beatles Codpiece performs as a throuple (T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey), discussing the 90s era Threetles (9-3=3) in their critique of Disney+ (in association with Good Times Video)’s Beatles Anthology Episode 9. Is it truly worthy of a Revolution? Hork down a hot dog sandwich in a muenster truck while hurling a beanball at your Mom! It’s American Independence Day served Beatles-style, made possible only by Calderstone Imperial Musical Enterprises Incorporated. Because the Red Album, White Album and Blue Album = Now and Then Forever. 🌭🧨🚒 EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe!

Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2
Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes?" Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won’t woke Macca record with current, hit-makin’ patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?” But here at the UBP, we all adore “The Boys of Dungeon Lane”. Side 1 is perhaps Macca’s finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) “Flowers In The Dirt”? And How Many People appreciate this reference? The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask: 🎭 Is there even such a thing as “music” without the “Phantom Of The Opera” descending riff? 🔨 Huey Lewis is to San Francisco what the Grateful Dead is to San Francisco, am I doing this right? 🐂 My Mayor Johnson My bagel Jewish The Beatles are great Bulls in ’98?

Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 1
Two forever fab octogenarian knights have both released brand new albums in this, the space age year of 2026. Truly a remarkable achievement. Meanwhile, two grotty quinquagenarian jagwads attempt to sort through all of the permutations and variations of the latest of these offerings, Sir Paul McCartney’s The Boys of Dungeon Lane. These are the Boys of Dumb Dumb Lane. Throughout this 2-parter they ponder the deep deep feelings (wrong album dumb dumbs) that this platter has to offer.

Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 8
What’s the worst decision in Beatles history? Some might say it’s John’s “bigger than Jesus” remark, or letting “Magical Mystery Tour” air in black & white on the BBC. And yet, as decided by the good folks at Disney+/Apple/Calderstone/Zaappderstone, it would appear that the single most egregious moment in Fab history is the original “Beatles Anthology 8” runtime: 81 minutes. 81 minutes? IN THIS ECONOMY? Fortunately (sfx: buzzer) much like labor laws, voting rights, and pride in this once great nation, Disney's "Beatles Anthology 8" has been drastically reduced. What’s survived is typically stunning both visually and musically, plus a few new (in some cases, literally) interviews are a bonus. But what else can this episode teach us about life? 🐺 Could this episode even survive without the topical/relevant drop, “T-Bone”, from the James Taylor 1988 offering, “Never Die Young”? 🍔 If Fat Mattress is the best of the ATCO roster of bands, is Mat Fattress ACTO’s biggest act? 🚔 Do the edits in this episode threaten the long discussed “Sgt. Pilcher’s Horny Cops Club Band” fundraising calendar featuring hot, corrupt global police officers of the past? EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 7
Greetings, Untitled Beatle Peedles! It’s a big weekend in Fab History, as arguably the most important link to the Beatles music and ethos just debuted a new release. And it’s all BeatleWorld is talking about. That’s right, the Untitled Beatles Podcast has finally dropped their deep dish of “Disney+ Presents: The Beatles Anthology 7 (Only Make It Shorter)”. This episode covers a seminal year in Beatles lore. And if you’ve ever watched the original Anthology and thought, “Hmm, cancel the Apple Boutique, it’s too woke!”, then this edit is for YOU! Tony and T.J. have loved the Beatles for an alarming number of decades, so do you think they’ll finally bring some joy to the Disney Anthology experience? As they said before network TV died (#CBS callback), “stay tuned and find out”. Because they also ask: 🐝 Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: “How come they didn’t replace no Greece footage with that Ringo song from Greece 2 about teenage kids gettin’ each other knocked up? Diane plowed my ficus after league night at Marigold Bowl back in ’79 and we had some kid I don’t see no more? Carl? Gary?” 🕉 In the revised edition of William J. Dowling’s Beatlesongs, should Macca get a .04 songwriting credit for "Dehra Dun"? 🏴‍☠️ Pick A Raider: Ringo or Tim Brown? And does this force you to finally confront your racial biases?

Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live (2026)
For over 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been one of the most Important shows for rock music in the history of the nascent television medium. While, arguably, the most famous moment in the show’s history (and Tony’s favorite?) is RHCP’s multi-key 1992 version of “Under The Bridge”, there have been others. (Musical Guest The Ting Tings ripping up a photo of Colonel Sanders comes to mind.) Fortunately, just in time for NBC’s never more relevant, May sweeps season finale of SNL, they pulled in the big guns: RHCP! Oh s**t, Frusciante and Kiedis (LLC) are busy? Maybe (checks notes) Chad Smith is free? Might as well bring in noted Chad Smith lookalike Will Ferrel (“Elf”, Capitol One) to teach Chad how to host the show! Everyone knows Chad Smith’s best friend is Paul McCartney. So Chad called Sir Paul to see if he’d learn the bass part for the AI generated RHCP songs “Funky California Space Cadet” and “Santa Monica Ding-Dong”, as onetime Macca drummer Chris Whitten beat Flea’s ass in Hamburg. Where you ask? Why, under the bridge. When asked for comment, Flea replied, I don’t ever wanna feel, like when Chris Whitten kicked my ass.” Later that week, as longtime Macca drummer Abe Laboriel JR was (Alonzo) mourning young mister Christopher’s legal predicament and unable to travel, Chad Smith had an idea. He could play in Paul’s band! On SNL! The very talented singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson can even sing back-up, and perhaps even “Cook Of The House”! And Paul could completely ignore any lame Beatles music during the live, 90 minute broadcast, because nobody wants to hear that junk! (#Motorcars #Handlebars) Are you still with us? Da f is wrong with you? You already know Tony & T.J. will talk Macca’s historic SNL performance and also hit you up with such mind benders as: 🐇 (Angry Chicago Guy. He’s unwell today in particular): How come I can’t go into no pet store no more and longingly whisper to the rodent critters, “bunny’s too tight to mention”? Is it because my ass cheeks are simply red? 🥊 Why didn’t Pixies’ 1999 smash “Where Is My Mind (Theme To Fight Club, Now A Major Motion Picture)” win an Oscar as the best original song written exclusively for the film “Fight Club”? ❗❓ Andrew Watt.

NEW PAUL AND RINGO! "Home to Us" (2026) -- and Wel-Kum Back Tony!
What’s MORE thrilling than sitting through a slide show of your strange friend’s vacation photos? Answer: LISTENING to the slideshow! UBP co-host T.J. and UBP Producer Casey welcome back other UBP co-host Tony with all sorts of fab catching up (but no catching up on hot dogs! #chi-town #hotdogetiquette #nobodysezchi-town). They talk Ringo and Paul and then talk Ringo and AI, because you can’t spell “Ringo and Paul” without “AI”. Plus they have a row over 3 Saville Row. They also ask: 🍀 Is Record Store Day to record collectors what St. Patrick’s Day is to alcoholics? 🧻 If you say Twotles two times into a mirror, do you really experience and uncontrollable #2? 👻 Wait. What happened to Producer Casey? He just disappeared. Is he okay? Did he get into a tragic accident??

Ringo Starr’s “Long Long Road” (2026) - Part 2
In this hotly anticipated Part 2, T.J. and Casey and their Sunshine Band pick up the pieces for Florida Man, Tony Mendoza, still buggin’ out in the Everglades. They wrap up their deep deep dish on Ringo’s “Long Long Road”, and T.J. “press night invite” Shanoff does his finest Chris Jones impression (Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: “I WAS ALWAYS MORUVA HEDY WEISS GUY MYSELF”) and opines on Brendan Hunt’s new one-man show “The Movement You Need” at Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Theater.

Ringo Starr's "Long Long Road" (2026)
This week “Guys from The Untitled Beatles Podcast” (not to be confused with “Guys from Toto” or “Guys from Survivor”) pay homage to the great Frank Sinatra album Duets - as T.J. and guest co-host Producer Casey laugh it up over Ringo’s newest country platter, Duets Long Long Road —while ailing co-host Tony uses Duets-era technology to phone in his commentary all the way from Fort Lauderdale (not the first time that guy has phoned it in, just ask the Chicago improv community). Between all the chuckles and landline logistical delays, the team wonders: 🌬️ How on earth is the weather in Minnesota so different than the weather in Southern California? 📸 Can Portrait Records airbrush the braces and acne off of my 8th grade school photo? 🍌 Is it worth buying the Sack Lunch Original Motion Picture Soundtrack solely for Ringo’s mid-tempo slog-thru of “Banana Stain Blues”?

This week, P3Z-Nutz reports (not) live from down under with another fab fav classic episode! ----- Originally aired May 8, 2021 This week T.J. and Tony follow the Fab Four "under the equator" (as they say) for their ripping June 1964 concert in Melbourne, Australia. It's the rare show that captures the Beatles in peak performance shape, and in high quality audio and video. The guys go through track-by-track, and also find time to cover: • Their favorite early 2000s post-grunge band • Their least favorite 80s NBC TV theme • The breakfast menu at the Taco Bell in Plymouth, Wisconsin ...and more! So pack your bags; we’re heading for Australia! Insert Men At Work joke here. EPISODE LINKS Find Fab footage of the Melbourne show on YouTube! Dig into this week's Pandora playlist!

Untitled Beatles Spring Cleaning
The guys are back (even if their voices aren't), and catch up on all the wild Beatlenews and Beatlereleases from the past few weeks. It's been a hard day's fortnight, & Tony & T.J. have been working like dogs to buy, rent, or look at all the following: New Paul album, new Ringo album, new John meditation mixes, new George Dark Horse label re-releases, new Wings documentary & soundtrack, new John concert movie, new documentary about Paul's lost bass, Evolver 62 documentary now streaming, and a new one-person show in Chicago about The Beatles by actor/writer (& Chicagoan!) Brendan Hunt, aka Coach Beard on Ted Lasso! Whew! The guys also discuss how Bob Eubanks and Dick Biondi, announcing together at the Hollywood Bowl, both said "The Beatles" at the same time -- which possibly gave Eubanks the idea for The Newlywed Game, where couples try to say the same things about places where they made "whoopee". Speaking of Dark Horse records, T.J.'s voice is especially dark & hoarse -- like George's voice on Dark Horse! Perhaps from running on a dark racecourse? And as George Martin says, dark horses for dark courses. But what about your father's dark horse? Of dark course, Henry the Dark Horse danced the waltz, & then the Beatles ate him in Germany for Christmas dinner. Very dark, indeed. (And...scene.)

Give My Regards to Broad Street (Film Review) | Replay!
It was five years ago today When Teej and Tony told their friends to play A VHS that T.J. had around With its super warbly 80s sound So may we introduce to you The film you’ve loved for all these years: Paul McCartney’s “Give My Regards to Broad Street” ----- Originally aired April 17, 2021 At long last, T.J. and Tony review Sir Paul's magnum opus: Give My Regards to Broad Street. Starring and written by Paul McCartney, the 1984 movie was panned by critics and audiences alike, but brought us some of Paul's best music of the decade ("No More Lonely Nights"), and some of his worst remakes of his best music from decades past (lookin' at you, "Long and Winding Road"). This long and rambling podcast leads to all the usual goofs and giggles, and—as far as we're able to ascertain—what we believe to be the first reference to the theme music from NBC's "The Days & Nights of Molly Dodd" in podcasting history. And what movie review is complete without also covering the Commodore 64 video game adaptation? Movie viewing recommended (you might be able to find it on YouTube), but certainly not required.

Ninth Beatle Bracket (Windy City Edition!)
Everybody clap your hands, the UBP is Happy Just To Big Dance With You! That’s right: it’s March Fabness once again, and that means it’s time to crown the official, legally-Calderstone-sanctioned 9th Beatle Bracket, A Ron Howard Motion Picture. This year’s Beatle Bracket, much like the origins of the Fab 5, begins and ends in Chicago! From the Beatles BBC sessions recorded during the WLS Barn Dance, to the infamous rooftop concert atop Second City’s Pipers Alley parking lot, Chicago was the home of every significant Beatles event. Few will forget John’s touching tribute to his favorite retail emporium as a young tough, “Strawberry Marshall Fields Forever”. And much as Eleanor Rigby darned her White Sox in the night while there was nobody there (“there” being a May day game at Comiskey against the Royals - NOBODY CAME), Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey face some Malort-worthy matchups, featuring 312-flavored Beatlefigures everyone absolutely knows. And while you are only waiting for this one shining moment to arise, the boys must first settle some other business on the hardwood/hard would, such as: ☘ Did Howlin’ Frank Ifield invent Chicago blues? 🕶 Why in the fresh hell did late 80’s, Rose Records offshoot The Entertainment Outlet, always have so many $.49 cut-out cassette copies of Stevie Wonder’s “In Square Circle”? 💎🧻 (Angry Chicago Guy.
