Untitled Beatles Podcast

More Rush? Rush? More! Hurry hurry lover, come to me! That hit was performed by Paula Abdul, and oooooh I’m running for congress... what a spooooooooky last name... lock your doors and BEWARE OF PAULA ABDUL!!! And this hit episode - now #17 on “Chicago Improv Beatles Podcasts!” - continues the Rushmore journey of some loyal fans of the show. Good news: there’s no more overtures! Better news: the guys take the listener contributions to the next level, as they level up to a level that's a whole new level. Loyal Discordant Steve My Kitten Alone asked how we’d introduce the Beatles to others; who might not share the same passion for or knowledge of the band. In other words, jag bags. But that’s not all! Do we talk about other stuff? Are there other questions? Questions like? 🍆🍔 Who knew Tony was such a big Mac-Head? (That’s a Fleetwood Mac die-hard, someone who’s loved the band both pre-and-post Peter Gabriel. You know, a real fan?) #BigMacHead 📖🐞 Is there enough interest in the topic of Beatles Missionaries to write a highly unauthorized parody of “Book of Mormon”, but with all Beatles songs? #HasaDigaYesterday 💙🧡 (Angry Chicago barfly, he’s wistfully drinking a Malort & Old Style, ruminating on the passing of Mike Ditka) “Me & Coach Ditka didn’t know each other or nothing. But when me & Diane were going through our hardest times, the ’85 Bears is the only real connection we could muster. She got legally cleared to make sweet love to me Sunday mornings at 11, during the Coach Ditka & Johnny Morris show on Channel 2, WBBM. I used to pay her to pretend she was Jeannie Morris, but she looked more like Linda Yu. Well. Now Da Coach is gone, and Diane is, too. She’s in Tampa, but still. #RipCoachDitka EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram! Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.

As the leaves turn “Drive My Car Orange” and “Nowhere Man Taupe” in anticipation of next week’s long-awaited Rubber Soul SDE, we here at UBP HQ are taking some time to honor a few non-fab artists. With chisels and rasps in hand, T.J. and Tony carve away at the sacred Meigs Field granite peak, each revealing their favorite musical performers that aren’t John, Paul, George, Ringo, Jimmie or Purdie. It’s Mount Rushmore Beyond The Beatles! Throughout this laborious process they also wonder: 📻🪗 Has radio station WKRP ever played Mike Post’s version of the theme to CSI: Cincinnati (aka “Squeeze Box”)? 🌶️🚽 Speaking of 5-way chili, I’m at a party and I feel a “Jammin on the 2” coming on… Where’s the nearest bathroom??? 🎄💣 Did the Untitled Beatles Podcast just declare a War on Billy Joel’s “Christmas in Fallujah”? Please feel free to share your Mt. Rushmore artists that aren’t The Beatles. EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe!

Beatle Bottoms. To some, bottoms is a synonym for “tushie”, as they say in the industry. For Tony & T.J., it’s their least favourite Fab 4 songs. And boy do they just disagree. But there ain’t no good guy, there ain’t no bad guy, there’s only this deluxe reissue of one of our favorite early episodes, reproduced for disc by Grandmaster Casey. ----- [Originally released September 5, 2020] Clickbait: Are T.J. and Tony in a Beatles cult? The answer may dumbfound you!! In this Labor Day Spectacular (not that spectacular really) T.J. and Tony comb the floor of the Sea of Holes in search of the least fab Beatles songs. Listen for adjectives like "treacly" and "loathsome"(!). Also included are hot takes on R.E.M. vs Barenaked Ladies, and a very brief tribute to short form improv. Meanwhile, T.J. discloses one of his "Beatle nightmares" while Tony wears out his “Beatle bag.” Fact cheque: "It’s All Too Much" was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios and "Baby, You’re A Rich Man" at Olympic Sound Studios. Neither T.J. nor Tony can remember what a clavioline is. EPISODE LINKS: Listen to the Beatle Bottoms playlist here! Check out UBP's videos on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram!
