Ep. 121c | 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!

Ep. 121b | 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?

Ep. 121 | The White Album (1968) Part 1
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 know as, of course, “File Under Rock”.)
And despite this record’s massive length and girth (Sfx: a pained, guttural groan), Tony & T.J. find the time to ask:
🎅🏾 Is the “perfect” Christmas gift at Walgreens, Woolworth, Woolco, Osco, Venture, Wieboldt's or Montgomery Ward?
🕳 What uniquely-numbered episode did you download? And was it manufactured in Jacksonville, Jackson Hole, or Jackson’s Whole?
🍬 Does the inclusion of “This Boy” to the White Album Tape 2 8-track, directly after “Savoy Truffle” but before “Julia (pt. 1)”, improve the original track listing?
BUT WAIT! Is it Tony’s favorite Beatles album? Is it even in T.J.’s top three? (Or is he just too big a fan of “The Beatles In Italy” to budge?) Is everyone who only calls this album by its official name a jagbag? Tune in (#Lewisohn) this week, and likely the next six, as we deep dish “The White Album”!

Ep. 120 | Concert for George 20th Anniversary Screening (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip)
Fire up your (Gloria) DeLorian(ing) because we’re going back in time! Back, through the mists of time, to a time we call November, 2022, for a special one night only screening of “Concert for George” on its 20th anniversary. Tony and T.J. road trip to Tony’s hometown—Addison, IL—on a blustery Chicago early winter’s eve to see the film and also ask:
🐅 Has the intro to the Cougs’ “I Need A Lover Who Won’t Drive Me Crazy” ended yet?
🧀 Would Radio Shack still be around had corporate followed their Beaver Dam, WI, franchisee’s decision to stock blank 8-track tapes in the mid 1990s?
🇨🇩 Is Springsteen’s hit “My Hometown” written about Zaire, the country in Africa? Or Zayre, Framingham, MA-based discount store that was popular in Chicago?

Ep. 119 | 1973 Fantasy Beatles Albums
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. And listener Beatle Dave suggested that we honor ’73 by compiling a fantasy Beatles island/album culled from that year’s releases. Did any surprises make the list, Tony? What classics are nowhere to be found, Todd? What other gold did you, Producer Casey, begrudgingly leave in this edit? Possibly, but not limited to…
🦕 Is Tony on Team Barney, Team Betty, or Team Rock Roll? #TwitchTwitch
📼 Should the “family values” jokers be concerned that the kids are getting into ASMVCR?
🐔👅 Does the Kenny Rogers Roasters in Meat Free Monday City serve impossible chicken suckin’ mother truckin’?
What 1973 Fantasy Solo LP would you compile? Let us know on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram OR HELL GO MAKE YOUR OWN PODCAST, WE DON’T HAVE A MONOPOLY ON THE FORMAT. #allcaps

Ep. 118 | A Merry Goo Year!
As they say on “Rent: Original Broadway Cast Recording”, "it’s gonna be happy new year!” They also say “Joanne, which way to the stage?”, and the fuck is Joanne? #NeverSeenRent #ChangeMyMind
It’s already a been a ding-dong-ding-dong, merry goo year for Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey. This week, they celebrate the 60th anniversary of “Please Please Me”, and also (#9 #9 #9) dream about what Beatles goodies and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reissues (#nowwithmoregnomes) await us in The Jordan Year!
As part of the first episode of T.J.’s final season - he’ll be replaced soon with Sandy “Arne” Duncan - the UBPeedle3 consider themselves at home, and also:
🩹 Did Barry Manilow write Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Kars for Khristmas”?
🧮 If the hits of 1925 turned 60 in 1985, and the hits of 1985 turn 60 in 2045, how will society commemorate the 60th anniversary of “Rosanna: Never Ending Live Version (feat. Starkey)"in 2082?
🦁🪦Who'd win in a battle of Quick Witz: P3Z-Nutz, or P-22, everyone's favorite dead mountain cat? #HeGone

Ep. 117 | “Get Back to Let it Be” at the Rock Hall (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip Part 2)
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-to-brief hit “American Pie” drinking Agave and Rye?
🇮🇹 What torchy Beatles songs will “Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas! The Musical” include?
🚌 Will the Gab Two ever don’t stop believin’? Or will they never stop don’t believin’? Like Yakov Smirnoff always says, “What a Journey!"
Originally recorded in AAD, remixed to ADD, and finally pressed in Japan in DDD (*information current as of November ’87 issue of “CD Review”), we’re proud to present Producer Casey’s masterful edit of the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s trip to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame! (#RipIreneCara)

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. 115 | The Road to the Rock Hall (A Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip Part 1)
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 impressive time-share in Ohio: Eric Clapton, Joe Perry, or the Oak Ridge Boys?
🕹 What's the going rate for the 1982 Atari 2600 smash-hit Haunted House these days?
🚨 Should Tony do something about his "check engine" light?
Grab your glammiest Ian Hunter 45—keep your receipts and submit your expenses to Producer Casey—and please enjoy this Very Special Untitled Beatles Field Trip to Cleveland. (Ohioooooooooo)
