Join me as I put the first two Beatles albums Please
Please Me and With the Beatles up against each other.
I'll be comparing them song by song, I Saw Her Standing 
There vs It Won't Be Long will be first and the final head 
to head will be Twist and Shout vs Money (That's What 
I Want). Going to be hard.

For the first time, RB starts us off before Tommy recounts a harrowing tale of a recent unmitigated disaster.  From there we get right into the important work of discussing bomb pops, boringness (but not in regards to RB), the Ocean State Job Lot, people surprised that Scotty C is the Dancing Blotto, the Beatles gothic phase, if goths can eat ice cream cones, the Ticketmaster debacle and who has the power to change it, a surprise call from Fans on the Run's Ethan Alexanian, a Tommy vs. Ethan head-to-head battle, the Concentration 64 game, octogenarians with jet black hair, Masons, and the clap-infused "Hold Me Tight."

We approach our half century mark with an early mystery word, some Game of Thrones/Beatles talk, Becker's best Robin Williams, a little more shilling to Powers Irish Whiskey, that Beatles documentary where John wore a huge suit the whole time, our commitment to no longer saying "the pyick," infantilizing your partner, the return of our segment "Becker Offers Dating Advice," old dudes figuring out what BAE means, and our pumped take on "Little Child."

Episode 40 begins with a remembrance of the first Apple project; loose episodes; tons of guest mail (most of it not complimentary); our new guest and good bud, Kenji; an early Magical Mystery Word; the Beatles prog work; astounding McCartney conspiracy theories; Mal Evans seeking out transportation posters; Tommy backtracking on people pulling lyrics from posters; vertical toast; the thorough script for the Magical Mystery Tour film; Mal Evans buying socks; musical double tonguing; and your nerd can sing; and the bus-themed "Magical Mystery Tour."

I've always been a big Beatles fan so I thought its about time I put
out a Beatles episode.
What set The Beatles apart from most other bands is having three
great songwriters in John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
But in the early years they also recorded over twenty cover versions.
It is these covers, written by legends like Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins and
Buddy Holly I will be discussing and ranking.

We release the string on episode 39 with a deep dive on sequels by discussing LOVE TOO, New Year's resolutions in pandi times, a new A-Paul-ogy,  Vacation Becker poppin’’ a flop, the Beatles gourd hatred, Billy Corgan on a roller coaster, and the circus-themed "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite."

Episode thirty-eight kicks into gear with some chat on the state of the multiverse, our favorite Christmas tunes, rum bum bum bum, the weird PJ pants you get from your mother, the period where The Beatles got into the occult, Becker retracting and the recommitting to hanging with Bezos, Tommy forgetting the basics of nursery rhymes, two dudes/one amp, and the perfect song for a Saturday -- Lady Madonna

Clearly, we are all about The Beatles, but episode 37 begins with one of our other passions -- true crime podcasts -- as we listen to the trailer for "The Sacred Harp."  From there we bring back Musical Supervisor RB and  get into our normal Beatles fare as we discuss pies and nuts, the fantastic Deer Tick, some more Get Back doc-talk, the Bad Beatles of Boston, one more piece of evidence to show that Paul McCartney loves Razor Ramon, more nut talk, Becker ditching the rest of us for Elon Musk, some regional Rhode Island work,  and the very easy tune "All I've Got to Do."

Episode 16 is here and we kick things off by discussing Disney's newest IP purchase, Becker's disappointment with being nerdy about more than one thing, the first installment of "You Never Give Us Beer Money," a generous donation from listener Simon K, our first Black Velvets, why the Beatles were once called "the only band that matters,"  why Pilgrims were so small, if they made Ringo crouch down during the shoot for "With the Beatles,"  grumpy George Harrison, just a smattering of Michael J. Fox talk, a comparison between the bass innovation of McCartney and Mike Watt, Les is More Claypool, and the original George Harrison original "Don't Bother Me."

"Ladies and gentlemen...The Beertles!"

In this, our inaugural episode, we introduce you -- fair listeners -- to Blotto Beatles in the same way they were introduced to the United States, through the song "All My Loving."

Who are we? Why are we here? Can we recap the history of the Beatles in 60 seconds? How good is All My Loving?  What does the Queen think of the Beatles' black turtlenecks?  All questions will be answered in this episode.

The boys continue their journey through The Beatles recording catalog with their second LP! This album has some of the best cover songs of their career; which is why The Paper Shakers stole 8 of them for their live shows. WARNING: This episode contains a pointless Rise of Skywalker discussion. Skip to 9:40 to avoid it.
