Move over, "Cloud 9". 1987's biggest release, at least for fans of the kind of hard, f rock that Appleton's legendary WFUK made famous, is Tiffany's "Could've Been".#š_ššø
But what was ol Tiff singing about? We interpret her lyrics as a listing of songs the Beatles could've (been) released in their real-time, U.K. discography. For those of you for whom Tiffany rocks just a wee too hard, the Untitled Two dream up some of their choices most amazing fantasy Fab singles.
So come on down to fantasy land - no yoga toe spreaders required, which is arguably Phil Collins best album - as we also wonder:
šļøš¼š¦ (Angry Chicago guy, in line for opening day at Comiskey, which is 6 weeks away. It's dangerously cold.) How come that hollyweird lib Dana Carvey don't do no impressions of John Lennon beating up Bob Wooler? And how come I'm wet when I VCR "Gutfeld" but not Diane?
š¶1ļøā£2ļøā£ Is 12 Bar Original actually 12 bars and/or original?
š£š°š¤ Why haven't any of you so called "fanz" opened up an Etsy shop where you sell T.J. customized/hypmotized fantasy 1988 Purple Capitol label 45's? #ForJukeboxesOnly

In what many scholars consider one of the most revelatory album releases of 1994 (perhaps second only to Sade's "Best of Sade"), the Beatles' "Live at the BBC" provides a portal back to the early 60s, when the Beatles weren't yet quite as popular as the big J.C.
This week, T.J and Tony dust off their CD collections to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 30th anniversary of some of the Fab Four's finest live studio recordings, and in the process, answer the timeless questions:
š¬š§šļø Who was the superior BBC presenter: Lee Peters, Pee Litres, or Step By Step's Patrick Duffy?
šš½ How come Ringo doesn't want us throwing bananas at him anymore, and when was he planning to warn us (with peace and love)?
ššµ Whaddyou want when you're hungry for somethin' that you really got to have? #LikeHotDogs

Have you ever had a Rock & Roll Fantasy? The Kinks did. So did Bad Company. And nobody hated Bad Company more than rock musicās Stephen Sondheim. #FireElaineStritch
Some Rock & Roll fantasies are quite dangerous, like the troubling, cancel-worthy ones Rick Rubin has about feet. ALLEGEDLY. But others are healthy enough to dream out loud, on, by any reasonable metric, one of Americaās most acclaimed podcasts.
Inspired by an inspiring suggestion from longtime listener, Patreon supporter, and singer/songwriter, Montrealās own Max "Como" Comeau (which translates loosely in āMurican to "Max, how"?), Tony and T.J. dare to dream: what would have a Beatles reunion concert been like in the late 1970ās? Would George wear his silly stache from his self titled LP? Would Paul arrive on a laconic boat from London Town? Would John bake bread as Yoko verbally assaults Chuck Berry? And would Ringo be sober enough to zug-zug his way from Monte Carlo to the venue?
These questions will NOT be answered in this fairly insane excursion in to fantasyland - youāll thank us for the two drink minimum, folks - but donāt fret; neither will these:
š«š (Angry Chicago Guy:) How come Frankie Goes To Hollywood instead of Sheridan when heās getting off the outer drive? And how come Wix got a problem with America's hottie, Sister Jean?
š«šš»āāļø Why is it literally impossible to find out how/where Keith Moon died? Nobody has this information?
š«ā¾ļø Sox Fest was hella sad, right? More like, Konerk-NO!

The fab fourās fourth fab album, Beatles for Sale, isnāt just absolutely freaking underrated. It offers perhaps the last of their comparatively-less-ubiquitous knockout tunes. Side 2 illustrates this point perfectly, where just about Every Little Thing is magical*. (*May not include cover songs!)
And yet, the UBPās very own Tony āDave Dexter Junior, Juniorā Mendoza wants to make this album even better. How will he do this you may ask? Thatās why you literally have to listen! (No, really this time weāre not f**king around.) Spoiler alert: just when the ālawyersā said Rush and The Beatles was too legally sick of a collab, The Spirit of Hard Rock Radio on WFUK - Your Home for Appleton Foxes Baseball - proves that in Tonyās world, the timeless wavelengths remain, well, timeless. And also, wavelengths.
You canāt spoil a UBP āBeatles For Saleā party, because a UBP āBeatles For Saleā party donāt spoil! Oy, unless itās too hot at this meshugana picnic! Which one of you shcmucks brought egg salad, itās a thousand degrees out here!? And also:
š«š· Is Queen Latifaās best song about a French record pressing plant āU-N-R-T-Iā?
ššØšļø (Angry Chicago guy:) How come nobody aināt calls Earth Wind and Fire reverse racists* for not hiring Erik Estrada to sing āCelebrate Good Times, Come Onā on their tours? (*Not a thing)
š“š Why does T.J. think the random, current Sheriff of the Norwalk Republican Town Committee played Arnold Horshack on āWelcome Back Kotterā?

Itās one of the more unique and perhaps under-appreciated albums in the Beatles otherworldly catalog: āBeatles For Saleā. Recorded in the eye of the Beatlemania storm, with the making of what would become āHelpā right around the corner, this is one of the few Beatles albums that, to quote TLCās tribute to Zach Braff (NBCās āNo Scrubsā), āBeatles For Saleā, sadly gets no love. Itās occasionally dismissed as a creative and energy step down from the album which preceded it, āA Hard Days Nightā. BY MORONS, AM I RIGHT? Because this is a damn fine album, however exhausted and transitional the boys may have been, and itās long past time it gets an authentic, patented UBP deep dish. Hold the sausage, itās almost Meat Free Monday, you jagbag!
In addition to dishing Dylan, The Beatles, and the age old political battle of mono vs. stereo, the Now On Sale Two also ponder:
š Is Tony a first time grunter, a longtime grunter, or a R.J. Grunter?
š Marvin Gaye ganked the riff and feel of āGot To Give It Upā from longtime, actual soul legend Robin Thicke, yes? Like, obviously?
š„ Is Bernard Purdie, scientifically, the worldās only drummer?

Sure, in 1982, George may have āGone Troppoā ā¦ but who couldāve guessed that some 43 years later, his old pal Ringo would have āGone Conttroā?
Thatās right! Buckle your buckles, scoot those boots, and pour outācher ten gallon hats, because this week the Twanginā Two dish deep not just on Ringoās new Nashville-infused release, āLook Upā, but they Look Back on their own Americana and country music roots.
Join us as we hit the open highway with our radios tuned to Tom T. Hall, Dave āCurleyā Dudley, and Dick Butkus, and along the ride we ask:
šæ Who got higher at Poplar Creek in the 1980s: Willie Nelson, or T.J.ās mom?
š True or False: Tonyās first concert was Alvin and the Chipmunks at the opening night of Coyote Ugly Saloon?
šÆ Is Ringoās āCan You Hear Me Callā featuring Molly Tuttle the greatest solo Beatle duet since Maccaās āIvory and Ivoryā with Hamish Stuart?

The rager of an anny party continues over at the UBP, as the team celebrates their 200th (200-point-fifth?) episode! With the help of some fab listener questions, Tony, T.J., & Casey dish deep on all things Beatles - and some exciting news that may be revealed for 2025! (This is called a tease, but itās a bad one, because thereās no special news. There is, however, a rarely-heard Tony Mendoza production, crafted exclusively for Beatlefest 2024, seamlessly bringing together the worldās two most important proper nouns.)
While reflecting on the future of UBP, and also preparing for the past, the UB3 (#Cantaloop?) also ponder:
š§ļøšŖ© Was it (metaphorically) raining on Tonyās prom night, and how many of you would get and/or appreciate a āGreaseā reference here?
š«š Does Charles Barkley calling T.J. āshort and uglyā make up for him, shamefully, never winning an NBA title? T.J., I mean. B**ch a** coward can't win when it matters.
šļøšµ (Our Chicago Friend. Heās drunk, sad, and very, very cold) āIf Nobama was such a great president, how come I canāt retire off my Beatles Reel Music 8-track tape no more? And how come Sarah Palin aināt wearing no skirts no more on the reruns of that one SNL with John McCain?"

It was 200 episodes ago todayā¦ The world was thrown into chaos by a pandemic that real scientists, like the bumbling, mediocre, former host of a largely stupid, 2000ās NBC reality show, knew could be cured with basic medical know how; like injecting bleach. #NegativeCreep #FileHimUnderARock
From this weird, wild world of alternative facts and despair came The Untitled Beatles Podcast, and we couldnāt be more proud to share our 200th sojourn into the vast, beautiful world of Beatles music and culture. In this special episode, Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey take the rare step of making things about themselves, and discuss how a deep love of Beatles musicāas well as the much anticipated sequel to āAll The Bestāābrought them together. They answer pointedly personal, potentially problematic questions from some loyal listeners, and also consider:
šļøš„ Is the discovery of cassettes featuring Tonyās long lost, desert rock bandās Beatle covers this generationās āLive At The Star Clubā? But the 2 LP Pickwick version, not that lame 16-track Sony Music CD from 1991?
šŗšøš§¦ Angry Chicago Guy: HOW COME MALCOM MCDOWELL DONāT SPELL āCOMPLETEā LIKE AN AMERICAN IN āTHE COMPLEAT BEATLESā? ANāT MCDOWELL IN CHARGE OF DAT KIND OF STUFF, THE SAME WAY AJ PERZINSKI WAS IN CHARGE OF KICKING THAT JAG CUBS CATCHER MICHAEL BARRETTāS ASS BACK IN 2006? LETāS GO WHITE SOX! DIANE, IāM WET AGAIN HONā¦. NO, BAD WET, SWEETIE.
š¦š° Is āCan You Feel Deloitte Tonightā, T.J.ās āLion Kingā parody about noted consulters (?) Deloitte, arguably the best corporate āLion Kingā parody about Deloitte of 2000? No? Cool. Cool.
Whether youāre an OG listener, or youāve tuned in exclusively for a review of Ringoās new country LP (coming soon!), weāre grateful for all of you, and especially those with the stones to demand that we āget rid of the pianoā. THANK YOU, and hereās to the next 200!

Cheer Down, Untitled Beatlefreaks! This week, Tony gives T.J. Cliffās notes (shouldnāt have left your locker open, Cliff) on the fascinating book, Dark Horse Records: The Story of George Harrisonās Post-Beatles Record Label, written by Aaron Badgley. Did the quiet Beatle create the first indie label, one that featured appearances from Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, and at least one former Wing? The guys discuss this and more, like:
š¤ Joe Cocker toured the country in the musical āGreaseā, so why is Eric Clapton too cowardly to step into āOklahomaā? TULSA TIME, MY ASS. #DonWilliams
šļø If Matt Gaetz were a grumpy green monster on āSesame Streetā, would his name be Oscar The Couch; because he diddles couches?
š° Would Attitudes second album, āGood Newsā, have sold more copies had there not been a crippling frisbee shortage in 1977?

To celebrate the release of The Beatles 1964 US Albums in Mono, Untitled T.J. invited Untitled Tony over to his Untitled Beatles Paradise, where the two middle-aged lads Beatled about for hours with these new HOTLY CUT platters.
In this episode, the first in a sporadic series, they delve into this MOSTLY FAB box set, leading off with Side 1 of Meet The Beatles.
While the hot wax spins, the Jurk Twins ponder:
š„© Is Tonyās new copy of āMono Meet The Beatles: feat āNot A Second Time Sgt. Paper Inner Groove [Lee Minkler Remix]ā more rare or medium rarer than T.J.ās āTarget Presents: Mono Meat The Beatles [Exclusive Limited Marbled Blue Vinyl Presented by Target. Target: A Fun Place To Shop!]?
šļø Is the key to corporate improvisation, āBring a bag, not a cathedralā?
š„ Not to be ā90ās rap conspiratorial, but can we be certain that the Flowers In The Dirt World Tour Pack Shakur really died in ā96? (Angry Chicago Guy: And how come White Sox manager Terry Bevington aināt at SoxFest no more?)

George Harrison's tribute to Smokey Robinson, "When Smokey Sings", isn't just Rob Sheffield's favourite solo Beatles tune. The Motown legend, arguably best known for covering "So Bad", is a huge part of "Beatles '64", the Mouse's latest entry in the world of Beatles documentaries.
1964 is THE seminal year in Beatles history, so surely this Scorcese-produced doc provides a comprehensive look at the full year? Clearly, the talking heads are relevant and used sparingly? Obviously, this release comes in concert with expanded, cleaned up footage improving on what we all really want, a reissued "The First U.S. Visit"?
Our own Medved and (Mister) Roeper explore the highs and lows of yet another Beatles holiday gift, and along the way they ask:
š If Leonard Bernstein discusses "She Said She Said" in "Beatles '64", should Dave Grohl and Questlove discuss "Now And Then" in "Beatles '67"?
šæ Why did director David Tedeschi opt to open with a whispery YouTube cover of "All My Loving" over one of Tears for Fears' celebrated Depeche Mode covers?
š If this doc was trying to attract a younger audience, how come it didnāt include an interview with Matt Gaetz?

Right around Thanksgiving (the American one, THE ONLY ONE), the Material World got a whole lot more material! The Harrison estate graciously reintroduced one of Georgeās most acclaimed records to the world; via a sparkling, glorious Paul Hicks remix in honor of itsā (approximately, infinite) 50th anniversary. There are many iterations of this current reissue, as Beatleworld continues its transition from āmarketing exclusively for the massesā to āmarketing primarily for boomers with loads of disposable cashā.
In arguably the greatest national tragedy of 2024, Theater Tony (The Annoyance) and Theatre T.J. ("Madonna: The Musical") could only afford the 2-LP/streaming version of this title. (Producer Casey, please put an āawwwwwā drop here. K? Then do it, damn it!) But fear not! The guys delve into this reissue with their usual panache, like a couple of panache-holes, but also find the holiday spirit to ask other hard questions, like:
š¤ Whatās the Kim Deal with Seinfeld?
šŗš½ Does the deluxe remix archive crate gnome edition of āLiving In The Material Worldā come with a skibidi toilet?
šŖ If Krishna showed up to Ed McMahonās house, would McMahon hand him a cartoonishly large check and then bellow in his face, āyou are correct, sir?ā

This week, we gotta get back in time. Back to 2022, when a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and edible-influenced T.J. and Tony ripped through Teejās brand new box set of the 7ā Macca Singles, joined by their close (and possibly hallucinated) friends P3Z-Nutz, Mrs. Vandebilt, and Uncle Pecos.
Will they make it all the way through the bonus test (your patience) pressing of 4 random songs from Liverpool Oratorio? Pop in your earbuds and a coupla your favorite Macca Snacks, and you might just find out.

You got a problem with me, guy?
What about The Beatles, you don't got a problem with them, right? Because some of their songs, depending who you ask, are pretty darn problematic. Where's Jerry Falwell when you need him? Oh, yeah, dead! He Gone!!! š„°
Tony and T.J. attempt very hard to get cancelled as they debate which Beatles songs are, to quote Lindsey Buckingham, Trouble; as they discuss their unique and very real compilations of Problematic Beatles Songs.
Along the way, Tony, T.J., and stone cold early 90s Miami DJ legend - nepotism alert! - DJ Double DJ, discuss these dirty, Murica hatin songs and also ask:
š¤” Is Matt Gaetz's favorite song, "I Saw Her Standing There"? Because, she was just 17? #GaetzyPuckett
šø (Our Chicago friend at the bar. It's 3pm, he hasn't showered in a bit, and he just called the RC Cola delivery guy "Ozzie Guillen, Jr.") "How come Queen and Fred McMercury stole that big butts song from the Beatles and then Sir Mix A A Lot made a rap song about it? And how come rap music don't go away, so I can feel comfortable again??"
š„šļø If one man makes another man "spit on his microphone", is it probably at Matt Gaetz's house?

Not everyone gets lip serviced. Like, have you ever been lip serviced, pal?Being lip serviced, also known as āpaying someone lip serviceā is when someone talks about you. For example, āDonald T****p once paid his daughter šIvankaš lip service when he literally joked about wanting to date her on the Howard Stern showā. But itās not usually that creepy or gross, in fact itās often a compliment, like the many songs that feature a direct mention of The Beatles, in every generation and genre of music.
This week, Tony & T.J., as reproduced for podcast by Producer Casey, delve into some of their favorite (and least favorite) songs that mention The Beatles. They also wonder, aloud, because itās a podcastā¦
šØ Would āKids Incorporatedā have been a more interesting show if it was called āKids Incarceratedā?
š“ Are Rod Rogers and Rick Astley the Dream Academy and Beatles of their respective eras? And why are you acting like you donāt know what that means, are you ok?
āµļøWho can say where the road goes? Where the day flows? And who can say if your love grows, as your heart chose? And, is this a joke or just lazily quoting Enya?

For anyone with a pulse - and/or a mint copy of the Pink Floyd CD with a still-functioning blue light - Beatles music makes life better. The Fab 4 (or 5, depending where one sits with Sir Jimmie Nicol) were imperfect men, who created mostly perfect music; ā12 Bar Originalā and āSie Liebt Dichā, notwithstanding. Despite their very human flaws and contradictions, they sought to communicate light and love through their remarkable music, lyrics, and an unmatched accessibility to every generation and background.
In mere hours, America [F**K YEAH!] will decide our next president. Regardless of oneās political leanings, itās a stressful time āround here. And, when we find ourselves in times of trouble, many of us rely on Beatles music to soothe, entertain, inspire, and fulfill us. Those who donāt are probably d-bags, and itās best to cancel them. #PeaceAndLove
Even though entertainers should absolutely stay in their lane and SHUT THEIR PIE HOLES about politics (looking at you, Chachi! And especially you, longtime host of NBCās āThe Apprenticeā!), this weekās UBP focuses on favorite, optimistic music from the Beatles world that serves to inspire Tony & T.J. on the eve of this precarious moment in American history. Plus, thereās many insider-y, beltway-adjacent questions posed by our own Nate Silver and Nate Gold (#YukonCornelius #SoulTrain), as we also ask:
š¤ How many voters will be swayed by the effects of inflation on the pre-order price of Ringoās new country + western cassette tape?
š¦ Is there a better chance MPL will release a Deluxe Archive Collection reissue of Ringoās two versions of āWingsā before actually reissuing Wings āLondon Townā or Wings āBack To The Eggā? And will there ever be two versions of āTwo Virginsā?
š Is the $80 vinyl of Seanās āMind Games: The Meditation Mixesā the RFK Jr. of Beatles re-issues?

A book can take you anywhereā¦
ā¦Out to sea on a vengeful hunt for a fierce white whaleā¦Trapped on a stalled train car solving the grisly murder of a fellow passengerā¦Madly pacing at a record retailer, deciding whether or not to purchase a Leon Russell Christmas LP because itās on green vinylā¦
That last scenario hasnāt been published yet, and those pretentious snobs over at Simon & Schuster wonāt accept unsolicited submissions. Same goes for Penguin. And the dorks at HarperCollins. And the jerks at Random House. And Macmillan. And The Hachette Book Groupā¦
Thatās why this week, per another fab listener suggestion, T.J. and Tony are taken to 1960s Great Britain, where they discuss some of their favorite Beatles books.
Were this episode to be optioned into a page turning best seller, these would be some of the chapters:
