yoko

Another Effin' Podcast About Sitcom is four friends, Mo Laikowski, Stan Laikowski, Luke Ward and Dan McInerney, watch Flight Of The Conchords "Yoko" episode and carefully pull all of the joy out of it.

 Irsay recalls the moment he learned, via Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football, of Lennon’s murder--”a steel sword through the heart”--and puts the event into historical context. The Colts’ owner and music-memorabilia collector settles the debate as to who is the best songwriter of all-time and recalls his indelible 1989 meeting with Paul and Linda McCartney. Meanwhile, Natalie tries to discern which legendary rock star (Pete Townshend or Stephen Stills) her father pissed off more.

Is she really a witch that broke up The Beatles, or is it actually a little more complicated than that? In this episode of Story Hotline, Tina takes Ella down Penny (and memory) Lane to discover what really went on between Yoko Ono and the Beatles, and who Yoko was before she became ‘Mrs. Lennon’ (you’ll be shocked!). Plus, we also talk about what we’re dubbing John and Paul’s ‘platonic romance’. It’s turbulent and complex, but in the end love is all you need.

We’ve shared even more nostalgia over on our Instagram, including photos and handwritten lyrics. Check it out www.instagram.com/storyhotlinepodcast/ and DM us your favourite Beatles’ song.  

P.S. Anything we miss in tonight’s episode, we’ll try to include in our end of season wrap up! Including the legal case between Paul and the band.
