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 Teejâs brand new box set of the 7â 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!!! đ„°
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:
đ€Ą Is Matt Gaetz's favorite song, "I Saw Her Standing There"? Because, she was just 17? #GaetzyPuckett
đž (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??"
đ„đïž 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 âpaying someone lip serviceâ is when someone talks about you. For example, âDonald T****p once paid his daughter đIvankađ lip service when he literally joked about wanting to date her on the Howard Stern showâ. But itâs not usually that creepy or gross, in fact itâs 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 itâs a podcastâŠ
đš Would âKids Incorporatedâ have been a more interesting show if it was called âKids Incarceratedâ?
đŽ Are Rod Rogers and Rick Astley the Dream Academy and Beatles of their respective eras? And why are you acting like you donât know what that means, are you ok?
â”ïžWho 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; â12 Bar Originalâ and âSie Liebt Dichâ, 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 oneâs political leanings, itâs a stressful time âround 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 donât are probably d-bags, and itâs 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 NBCâs âThe Apprenticeâ!), this weekâs 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, thereâs many insider-y, beltway-adjacent questions posed by our own Nate Silver and Nate Gold (#YukonCornelius #SoulTrain), as we also ask:
đ€ How many voters will be swayed by the effects of inflation on the pre-order price of Ringoâs new country + western cassette tape?
đŠ Is there a better chance MPL will release a Deluxe Archive Collection reissue of Ringoâs two versions of âWingsâ before actually reissuing Wings âLondon Townâ or Wings âBack To The Eggâ? And will there ever be two versions of âTwo Virginsâ?
đ Is the $80 vinyl of Seanâs âMind Games: The Meditation Mixesâ the RFK Jr. of Beatles re-issues?

A book can take you anywhereâŠ
âŠOut to sea on a vengeful hunt for a fierce white whaleâŠTrapped on a stalled train car solving the grisly murder of a fellow passengerâŠMadly pacing at a record retailer, deciding whether or not to purchase a Leon Russell Christmas LP because itâs on green vinylâŠ
That last scenario hasnât been published yet, and those pretentious snobs over at Simon & Schuster wonât accept unsolicited submissions. Same goes for Penguin. And the dorks at HarperCollins. And the jerks at Random House. And Macmillan. And The Hachette Book GroupâŠ
Thatâs 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:
đïžđ Other Podcasts Who Shall Not Be Named
đââïžđ Begrudging Appreciation For âSheâs Leaving Homeâ
đâœïž Recommended Reading At Gas Stations
đżđïž Reckless Records Locations in Chicago 1988-1993
đ«đ Incorrect Pronunciations of âPomeloâ

In 2003, The Redwalls, a really good band hailing from Chicago suburb Deerfield, IL kicked off their album âUniversal Bluesâ by encouraging a âColorful Revolutionâ; in a most Beatle-esque Banger fashion.
By coincidence (?), a mere 31 years earlier, there was a colorful âDaytime Revolutionâ as John, Yoko, and friends took over a weekâs worth of âThe Mike Douglas Showâ - a.k.a. the guy all of us, if weâre being honest, initially confused/conflated with âThe Dick Cavett Showâ.
This new, soon-to-stream documentary examines these historic episodes, and had a brief in-theaters showing on what wouldâve been Johnâs 84th birthday. Tony saw the film solo in Chicago suburb Glenview, IL, as T.J. handled the un-related, un-paid improv rehearsal many miles from his home - and even further from #GlenviewsFamousDawgPark. The result is a new-ish phase Beatles podcast, reproduced for streaming by Producer Casey. Roll up for this special UBP field trip, an aural journey (cue: âFaithfullyâ) of Tony documenting a documentary, as documentary commentary from T.J. documents Tonyâs documentary commentary of the documentary's documentary commentary.
ALSO: The UBPâs Medved + (Helen) Roeper ask:
đ„đĄ Does a movie with too many talking heads stop making sense? Or does it get nothing but flowers? Is Wings Wild Life > Wild Wild Life? Sick Byrne, quâest-ce que c'est?
âŸïžđ» (Chicago guy - a Sox fan, but he doesnât hate the Cubs; only Wrigleyville and their fans, and maybe he has a point): âHow come the unique single mix of Steve Goodmanâs âGo Cubs Goâ - pressed, my friendt, on WGN Records! - ainât been made available anywhere else since the original 45? Maybe Dean Richards will return one of my many handwritten letters and tell me what exactly woke WGN is trying to hide?
đ„Ș Would former American Idol Reuben Studard have been more successful if heâd been slathered in extra 1000 Island and better swiss?

What is Beatle-esque? Websterâs Dictionary has no entry for the term. Nor does Punky Brewsterâs Dictionary or Bonerâs Thesaurus. Historians have speculated, scholars have debated, and Beatle sniffers have sniffed for a little too long, yet no one knows for certain.
So this week our listeners help define the phrase with their own submissions of non-Beatles songs that evoke the Fab Four, aka Beatle-esque Bangers.
T.J. and Tony also offer a couple of their own bangers (a la carte, sans mash)âŠwith lively controversial results. Will be fab!
Along the way, the Nerk Nerds ponder:
đ If Neil Innes is a xerox of a xerox of The Beatles, how many xeroxes would it take to make The Spin Doctors?
đž (Angry Chicago Guy): âHOW COME THOZE JAGOFFS OVER AT DA ANTIQUE ROADSHOWS WONT APPRAISE MY 1982 GARY US BOND?? Diane sez Iâm late on palimony again BUT SHEEZ DA ONE DAT TOSSED OUT MY WALTER PAYTON COMMEMORATIVE WHEATIES BOX. NOW I HAVE NUTHIN!!!â
đ Since Elvis sounds like Paul (who had a secretary named Lincoln), does Linda sound like Priscilla (who had a secretary named Kennedy and a chimpanzee named Ringo)?

As Marla Gibbs (look her up, Boomer. Did I get that right?) once said, âthereâs no place like home!â And she was obviously singing about Skokie, Illinois - home of a cookie cutter AMC Movie Palace so glorious, it rivals only Chicagoâs famous Esquire Theater, now home to a shuttered Dallas-based steak chain. (#Progress)
Usually, Tony and T.J. only go on post-Bears game movie dates when it involves seeing the latest Marvel sequel to a Marvel sequel. (Turn up the volume on those explosions, projector man!) But a special field trip was made after a SEASON-TURNING BEARS WIN, to go see the limited, first ever theatrical release of Paul McCartneyâs âOne Hand Clappingâ. Is the film better on the big screen than tucked away on the âBand On The Runâ Archive Collection DVD? Does the music rock even harder in the theater? Whatâs the deal with popcorn prices these days, Obama? Tony and T.J. ask these salient and Soily questions, and also ponder from the backyard (of the theater):
đđ Is the Half Price Books in Skokie, IL this generationâs Tower Records? And if it is, is society in more trouble than we previously ever imagined?
đżđ© Did âThe Popcorn Kidâ, the 1987 CBS flop about teens working in a movie theater, that T.J. used to videotape for some weirdo reason, ever have an episode about cleaning human feces from an exterior wall?
đđ€ź (Angry Chicago Guy): âHow come woke Tony donât ever get no Ohio-based Red Robin Gourmet Burgers on Hulu/FXâs âThe Bearâ? Some Chicagoan, NOT!â (He laughs a little too hard at his own use of âNOTâ, and begins to cough up Old Style from acid reflux. He vomits on his worn shoes. Itâs quite sad, actually. His son doesnât even call him anymore on Christmas; and after the hell he went through as a kid, damn right he doesnât. And yet, this man needs help - especially after this White Sox season - and yâall laugh? Like your life is perfect? What do you get out of this abject cruelty? Maybe thatâs a better question.)

Sick episode, bro!
No, literally, this episode is sick!
Well, actually, Producer Casey was sick with COVID-19 during what was supposed to be a rare, in-person, Rosemont reunion of the Ubp3. #Cantaloop
Fortunately, The Fest For Beatles Fans (nee âBeatlefestâ) is always sick. Sick, in a good way, like the kids said in spring, â95. We need to legally mention that the Fest was NOT COVID-19 sick, thankfully; which means it probably injected bleach, and horse dewormer. What a great way to own the libz, for freedumb!
Somehow, Tony & T.J. were as healthy as two legally-giddy, mid-1970âs born Chicago guys can be, so they spent two beautiful days checking out all that this inspiring, lovely collection of fellow Beatles nerds has to offer. And Poducer Casey was able to rally, and contribute to our recorded shenanigans at the Fest from his sad, GrubHub-reekinâ hotel room. (Oddly, Casey did not order GrubHub.)
So stop your elitist reading, just push play (#FUAerosmith), and come celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Fest for Beatles Fans with us! Because we also ask other burning Beatles questions, like:
đïžđ¶ Is giving someone a beat-up U.K. 45 of âThe Beatles Movie Medleyâ, without the famously infamous picture sleeve, a âgiftâ or a âterrible insultâ?
đđș Isnât Bruce Spizer PARTIALLY to blame for leaving his books within the vicinity of a beer swigginâ Shandawg? And will T.J. ever get over the immense guilt for accidentially-yet-irresponsibly destroying his favorite Beatles historian's books?
đđ (Angry Chicago guy, he smells like Comiskey circa 1987) HOW COME THE SUZANNE SUMMERS VEHICLE âSHEâS THE SHERIFFâ DIDNâT HAVE NO ROPERS OR FURLEYS? AND HOW COME KYLE ORTMAN [sic, moron] AINâT ON THE BEARS NO MORE?
The Untitled Beatles Podcast extends our deepest gratitude to the Fest For Beatles Fans for their incredible spirit, hospitality and love for all things Fab. And we salute the legendary Terri Hemmert for being both the longtime emcee and Chicago Radio Royalty!

Move aside, Mark Lewisohn. It's SPIZERTIME.
That's right. At long last, the Beatles have announced a new 8 LP box set of the U.S. Beatles records they're (dubiously) calling "The Beatles: 1964 Albums in Mono".
T.J.'s first phone call was to the Venture at North Ave. and Kostner to pre-order his box set.
His next call was to his doctor, to address a sudden and impolite-to-discuss medical condition lasting longer than 4 hours. #ringthebonephone
And his third (and arguably most important) call was to his pal Tony so they could compare their hopes and dreams for the impending November release. [Editor's note: T.J. impending release joke #REDACTED]
They also cover the truly pressing questions, like:
đŒ Will Tony pick up a copy of the box set, or just hope to gather someone's discarded, unwound cassette tape by the side of the Eisenhower Expressway and respool it?
đš Are you more of a Beatle fart guy, or a Stones fart guy? And what's Charlie Watts got against Heinz Baked Beans?
đ„ [Angry Chicago guy after two too many Malorts] "How come Calderstone still ain't released Jolly What! England's Greatest Recording Stars: The Beatles & Frank Ifield on Stage"?

Attention loyal podcast description reader! Mighty fine morning in your town, init? Say, are you an âOnly Peopleâ fan? Ever think, âI want to be, but itâs just not long enough!â Well, have we got a John Lennon boxed set for you, featuring 11 - count âem, 11 - more seconds of âOnly Peopleâ. Itâs âMind Games!â Still a Capitol Records Value, now available for the low price of one monthâs rent/mortgage. #ImagineNoPosessions
The Grumpy Gabbers deep dish this sprawling Lennon reissueâs many gorgeous ups and frustrating (Hugh) downs: the demos, myriad remixes, hidden tracks, glow-in-the-dark RSD exclusives, and more, like:
đž Does WFUK-96.9 FM - APPLETONâS HOME FOR F**K ROCK - play too little Led Apron?
đ If âNow & Thenâ is, technically, a Beatles song, is âNutopian International Anthem (Evolution Documentary) technically a Rutles song?
đȘâïž (Angry Chicago Guy, Heâs Not Sober) âHow come Tony donât get no âWizard Of Ozâ references? And how come I took mushrooms after Super Bowl XX and watched my VHS of âWizard Of Ozâ synced up to âPipes Of Peaceâ, and it all made sense?â

In 1981, the Capitol Records green label LP, budget line re-release of "Mind Games" cost $5.99. In 2024, that same record, when heard in a cube complete with a gnome sized replica of Yoko (allegedly), can be purchased for roughly $1700. Thanks, Obama! (#Sarcasm #Satire #Satcasm)
A new precedent in solo Beatles reissues has been set with this reissue, including the more moderately priced (yet still insane) 6 disc edition. Is that a good thing? Does hearing 6 versions of "Intuition" really enhance the experience of listening to the album? And if T.J. doesn't collect it, does it even exist?
Tony and T.J. begin to dive into this massive release and answer these questions, and more, like:
đ·đ„đ” Was Aunt Mimi a loyal fan of BBC 4's, "Pounds or Dollars"?
đ Did the Mick Jagger film "Freejack" portend the Michael Jackson film song, "Freewilly"?
đ» Angry Chicago Fella: "How come the John Lennon tribute band, Real Sanpaku, don't play at the Merrillville Star Plaza no more?"

T.J. and Tony, just like ev'ry summer, are busy packing up their rented cottage in the Isle of Wight. But they both found some time to hop behind a microphone, along with Producer Casey and P3Z-Nutz, to preview some of the fabbest gab they've got lined up for the fall.

Live, from Beatlefestâs famous/non-existent Midway Ballroom, in the outskirts of beautiful, mobbed-up, downtown Rosemont, itâs Saturday Afternoon Live! WITH SPECIAL GUEST, #1 BEATLES STAN, SKYLAR MOODY!
For the second year in a row, Tony Shanoff, T.J. Mendoza, and Producer Case3Z-Nutz said, âf**k it, weâll do it live!â, and recorded this episode at the always-incredible Fest For Beatles Fans (nĂ©e Beatlefest), in front of some loyal UBP fans; and a few very confused people who were probably too embarrassed/disturbed to leave. (Seeing P3Z-Nutz in person can do that to a newbie.)
This year, theyâre joined by Beatles superfan/influencer/digital creator - the wonderful Skylar Moody - for an intense game of Beatles Trivial Pursuit! Plus, Tony celebrates the Beatles rich history in Chicago - AMERICAâS GREATEST CITY, YA JAGBAGS! T.J. pays tribute to arguably 2025âs 8th Beatle (#GiveIrelandBackToTheIfield)! And they also ask, to a HUGE CROWD THATâS WAY BIGGER THAN KAMALAâS, WHICH IS IMPORTANT AND TRUE BECAUSE IâM MISERABLE INSIDE:
đŠđ°đ Whoâs more of a failed cartoon character in America? Rupert The Bear, or Rupert The Murdoch?
đșđșđžđ·Which is a more culturally impactful moment in American media history: Producer Casey bravely producing this live recording sick, from his hotel room via Zoom, or the 1970âs WGBH Boston kids-show âZoomâ?
đŠđđHow many times has noted Disney-phile Tony seen âThe Lion Kingâ?
Special thanks to the Fest For Beatles Fans family for hosting us. Itâs an honor to be a very small part of such a wonderful, joyful, celebration of the greatest rock band not named Korn!đž Photos courtesy of Patreon Star Club supporter Glen K.!

The Untitled Beatles Crew are all still recovering from an epic, whirlwind Fest for Beatles Fans 2024. And by recovering, I mean still passed out somewhere under the Apple Jam Stage.
This week, please enjoy one of our all-time faves!
-----
[Originally released May 6, 2023]
Trivia! What a silly word. I mean, how many words rhyme with âJergens?â Feel me, Jacque?
Sadly, ever since Alex Trebek pulled a (rather cowardly) #HeGone, the pursuit of trivia - Beatles and otherwise - has been largely dormant in America. But not this week! Because Tony and T.J. each break out their deluxe editions of Beatles Trivial Pursuit and play a heated, often deadly round or three of the game! But donât you D.A.R.E. think we put the board in âbored gameâ! Because, madness (#OurHouse) ensues as we also trivially pursue:
đ Would NBC have ever considered green-lighting âDear Johnâ if not for its one, ill-fated season of âTaxiâ?
âŸïž Were the 90âs Yankees really better without ding-dong-dinger machine Donnie Baseball? (Drunk old Chicago White Sox fan: âWhat about Bronny Dosco?â)
đ„ Is âSteve Winwood: The Musicalâ the new âBlind Faith: The Musicalâ? And will you miss both if youâre stuck in traffic? Shit thatâs a lot of Steve Winwood references, right? Too many? Or just about right, in a ârule of 3âsâ way? We ask rhetorically, like donât send us notes or anything like that, because we wonât read it. Whoâs got the time? Like, how do YOU even have the time to write a Beatles podcast about a failed Steve Winwood bit? Think about that next time you find yourself drinking a High Life again. Drinking a highâŠlifeâŠagain.

Tell me why? Ainât nothing but a heartache! Tell me why? Ainât nothing but a mistake!Maybe if youâre a jag-bag! Because real Fab fans love âTell Me Whyâ, by The Beatles but, especially, The Backstreet Boys. ALL RIGHT!The Gab 2 love this record in all of itsâ forms, and they get a little overly excited as they continue to deep dish âA Hard Dayâs Nightâ, both the U.K. and U.S. versions. Perhaps unintentionally, Tony & T.J. make a strong case that the 1987 cassette track listening is definitive, but also - rather generously - take the time to ask:
đ Is it past time that the feds shut down Mentor Ohioâs illicit, bootleg-filled Record Den? Look Record Den, either join the f.y.e. chain or youâre DEAD MEAT.
1ïžâŁ [Angry, Functionally Drunk Chicago guy:] How come Calderstone didnât put no âAinât She Sweetâ on âBeatles 1â? And how come âOnce Bitten Twice Shyâ ainât longer? More like Great Woke. GET IT? [weeping] Please come home, Diane.
đŹ Pick a Newman: the âCarsâ guy or Wayne Knight?

One need not be Mark Lewisohn (TM) to agree that the two fabbest early Beatles albums are, in no particular order, âJolly What!â and âA Hard Dayâs Nightâ. In honor of Frank Ifield, who died in May and, tragically, missed out on this episode, weâre super proud to present the long awaited, much belated, Paperlated, Untitled Beatles Podcast deep dish on the âA Hard Dayâs Nightâ LP! Spoilers: 5 FREAKING FABS!
In fact, itâs not just a great album; itâs one of the greatest and most timeless records ever made. Look, every Beatles album is mind-bogglingly great. And yet, itâs entirely possible that âA Hard Dayâs Nightâ is the most perfect collection of songs they ever recorded. In this episode, the Fab Two On Pod dive into the albumâs history and legacy, and also ponder from out yonder:
đłïž (Angry Chicago Guy:) How come Weird Al didnât do no parody of Los Bravosâ 1965 hit âBlack Is Blackâ called âCrack Is Whackâ? And how come The Buckinghams donât play Chicagofest no more?
đ„đŻ âHello Dollyâ composer Jerry Herman wrote a musical called âMilk And Honeyâ, 23 years before the posthumous Lennon album of the same name was released. How banger is that brat summer trivia, bruh?
đșđŸDoes the German pressing of 2023âs âRed Albumâ reissue feature the Jellybean Benitez Remix of âAnd I Love Herâ?
-
The Untitled Beatles Podcast 60th anniversary celebration of A Hard Dayâs Night is in full swing, all thanks to Producer Caseyâs decision to have an open bar. It is a classic film after all and⊠oh great. Tony just shaved his head to resemble Gene Siskel and now T.J. is trying to squish into his childhood Q-bert costume. Cheeky! And while these pie-eyed faboons intercept every drink (and jam butty) intended for the Fabs, they ponder:
đż Which agency would you trust to protect your 1984 mint condition Criterion AHDN Laserdisc: Paw Patrol, Moon Patrol, or Snow Patrol?
đđ»Is Johnâs nose very?
đ If 10-year-old David Jansonâs pal Ding Dong is in fact âa bigotâ, does that mean we need to cancel George Harrisonâs holiday nut rocker of the same name?
Todayâs episode is also a public service announcement, brought to you by Mothers Against Drunk Podcasting.

All right, cool, so a lot of y'all like "Head", whether giving it, or getting it, on DVD. Fine! But without question, A Hard Days Night - like Jets Detroit pizza - is better. Because it has to be. #PizzaMarketingTruths
Tony and T.J. continue to explore this still-vital film and its unbreakable impact on pop culture, and also ask:
đ Why were The Jeffersons always movin' on up in such a Rush?
đŹ Is "A Hard Day's Night" to the 60's what "From Justin To Kelly" is to the 00's?
𧞠Is it time for poor Paddington to start a Hims subscription?
