Ep. 116 | Beatle Black Friday Record Store Day
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 Dark Horse releases, and also consider:
👣 Did it take changing his name from Elvis Costello to Declan McManus to get back on his feet?
🤑 Will Tony eventually complete his extensive and very expensive solo Devo vinyl collection?
🎷 Has the Live At The Greek All Starr Band's take on "Rosanna" ended yet? No? Fuuuuuuu********k.
Join us for all this and a very special tribute to Mike Ditka's 1988 heart attack (#OliviaNewtonJohn) on this hot off the presses episode!

Ep. 114B | George Fest (2014/2016) Part 2
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, Cousin and Family Friend?
🚫♀︎ Alt: Or maybe called The Misogynist Shoe Salesboys?
💿💿💿💿 How come The Flaming Lips didn’t release “It’s All Too Much” on four separate 10” records meant to play simultaneously?
That’s right, fellow Lips-sters, you finally got yourselves a Zaireeka reference. You’re welcome.

Ep. 114 | George Fest (2014/2016) Part 1
Many moons ago, back in 2014, an enterprising young chap named Dhani Harrison assembled a mighty crew of musicians 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 George's most beloved songs.

Ep. 110 | 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 Jimmy John’s charge him to eat himself?

Ep. 107b | 70s Solo Beatles B-Sides (Paul & John)
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

Ep. 107a | 70s Solo B-Sides Part 1 (Ringo & George)
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.

Ep. 106 | Fantasy Solo Set Lists
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!

Ep. 101a | Deep Dish: The Music of 1982 Part 1
This week T.J. and Tony are rising up and back on the streets, basking in the glory that is The Year MCMLXXXII (or for laypeople, 1982). The gruesome nineteen-eighty-twosome reach out and grab their favorite moments from The Beatles Reel Music, Paul’s Tug of War, and Elton John’s tribute to John Lennon. Plus enough 80s tangents to give your silver spoons Pac-Man Fever.
As always, they ask the tough fab questions, such as:
🤖 Who said “Toti mundo nati” better?
Paul, Mork, or Mr. Roboto?
🕺🏻 Would “Ballroom Dancing” have been a stronger B-side for the Grease 2 non-hit “Back To School Again”?
𐄍 Does Tony hear Stevie Nicks’ signature rocker as “Edge of Seven”?
Plus an Untitled Beatles Podcast Exclusive: Producer Casey’s 40th Anniversary Remix of “The Beatles Movie Medley”.
It’s jammin' on the 2…1982 that is…

Ep. 86 | Beatles Valentimes: Songs for Significant Others Part 1
Would you look at that? It’s almost Valentimes Day! Better run to CVS or lastminutegiftcarddepot.oops and show that special someone how much you care.

I mean John, Paul, & George did it, why can’t you? #FailureAlert
With so much love in the air, Tony & T.J. look at some of their favorite songs inspired by The Beatles significant others. Along the way, their hearts explode with these hot topics/wet seals:
🏄♂️ Who was more in love with baby Linda Eastman: Jan or Dean?
⚾️ If “Shipoopi” played baseball, would it bat in two or three hole?
🛋 Is Paul’s longtime keyboard player actually a defunct furniture superstore?
