  • What’s your Favourite Beatles Cover, Art? Or, more generally, for those listeners not named Art, what’s your Favourite Beatles Cover Art? There are seemingly endless global 7” and 12” covers from which to choose. Despite all but a small few ever being authorized by the Fabs, a good many are iconic, super weird, or a mesmerizing combination of both.

    Loyal listener and Patreon member Mick B brought us this great suggestion, inspired by the live-performance photo on the cover of “The Beatles In Italy”; which, indeed features hits by The Beatles! Just not live. Or “In Italy”. Maybe Bruce Spizer will help us sue Calderstone/Odeon for fraud???

    In this episode, the Cover Two (#GOBEARS) show…and tell…and show, if you smash this link for our WORLD PREMIERE SHOW VIDEO, their Favourite Beatles Cover Art. Along the way, they ask the hard hitting questions that those grotty, non-officially-Apple-authorized podcasts are too meat free Saturday, chicken-substitute-s**t to ask, like:

    📐Could AI create a geometry-inspired parody called “Oblong-Di, Oblong-Da”, and make it sound like it’s being sung by They Might Be Giants? And, both existentially and ethically, would it all be worth it?

    🍆 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s upset because he’s still unclean): “And how come Beatlefest don’t have no Beatles ASMR room no more? And how come if they did, they wouldn’t let me feel up Terri Hemmert’s copy of “Rock N’ Roll Music” to feel if the print is raised up like Diane said I can’t do no more?”

    🕰 Could the front cover art for “Now & Then: The Final Beatles Song (TM)” have been so much better if only it didn’t suck?

  • Look, some “Beatles podcasts” don’t have the 🏀🏀 to break into 14th-Beatle Vanessa Williams’ “Save The Breast For Last” while deep-dishing Beatles Covers.

    Unfortunately, the UBP is not just any “Beatles podcast”. First off, and obviously, we’re officially authorized by #BMGDarkHorse, #CalderstoneuMe, and #Apple (Pantry on Fullerton, near Marco’s Beef).

    Second, let’s change the subject and use AI to write about this collection of listener-suggested cover songs made famous by the Beatles, and re-interpreted by other artists of different genres and eras. Some argue that Beatles covers cannot be as good as the originals, but Producer Tony, Casey, P3Z-Nutz and Todd might argue differently, given their contrarian and occasionally strained attempts at unusual musical humor.

    So, s’il vous plaît, faites-nous plaisir, bande de jagbags, and give a listen to our second installment of Fab Beatles Covers!

    🌵🏜 Is the series finale of the Linda Lavin vehicle “Alice” better than literally every single Beatles album?

    🚍 (Angry Chicago Guy. He’s drinking Kirkland-branded Malort that he brought to the bar from his sad home:) How come Petula Clark don’t come to Chicago and call herself Petula 22, like the CTA bus? Who’s she crappin’? And how come George Harrison didn’t take no selfies of his Red Line stop? And where do we burn our copies of “Plastic Ono Band” now that we got a Chicago pope?

    💉 Who’s the “better” Macca Collaborator: Wix or Lennon? (Hot take: it’s Eric Stewart.)

  • Dust off your funny bone (actual NBC ad copy circa 1987), it’s the long-awaited conclusion to T.J., Tony and Producer Casey’s forensic deep dish into Paul McCartney’s 1993 appearance on Saturday Night Live!

    Yes, the boys are combing through every Macca performance, each Clinton-era comedy sketch, and almost every opinion... Unfortunately, Producer Casey did not inform the affiliates that we would be running over, so regularly scheduled programming resumed as planned.

    Of course, any well-executed satire (like the Gap Girls sketch!) will elicit thought-provoking questions. Such as:

    💰🚳 Didn’t Lorne Michaels offer Paul $3000 to not play “Biker Like An Icon”?

    🥔🥔 Who made the best mall potato: The Great Steak and Potato Company or Tater Junction? #mallpotatoes

    📺🏀 Why is everyone standing in front of the damn TV during the Knicks game?? WOOO-OO-OO-OO-OO….

    And as a bonus, The Nerk Triplets cover some hidden extra features on T.J.’s VHS cassette tape. We’re fast-forwarding you with Peace and Love…Be kind! Rewind! 📼📼📼

  • Remember when Paul wasn’t in The Beatles anymore? And, um, he was on that TV show Saturday Night Live? A second time? And he played all those songs nobody knew from that record only T.J. Shanoff loved called Off the Ground?

    Remember that?

    That was awesome.

    (But also some of it might’ve been hot garbage #AlecBaldwin #AnalcAnal)

    Join Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey as they foray into Sir Paul’s second foray into live sketch comedy, his 1993 appearance on SNL. Along the way, the gang finds out:

    👄👅 Was Dana Carvey on to something? Was it true SNL could never top Luke Perry with musical guest Mick Jagger?

    👕🟥 How come those jagbag shock jocks never went after Linda for flubbing Adam Sandler’s iconic lyrics?

  • Did you know that fellow '60's Brit rockers The Kinks had their biggest ever hit in 1984? Who didn't love "Kum Backing", their tribute to one of the very first bootlegs: the Beatles acetate "Kum Back"?

    Here at the UBP we love the Kinks, kink shaming, Kum & Go gas, and this legendary bootleg, heard by the #Kum2GetherToo for the very first time just this month! Some Beatles "fans", right? I'll bet they can't even pronounce "Esher" correctly...

    So do get your tape recorders rolling, but be forewarned; Kash Patel may come to your home to sing songs about justice for people who poop on senate desks. Smart fella, that one. All of 'em, really.

    ANYHOO, when your tape is rolling, Bob, be ready for more questions than a societally-destructive right wing manosphere podcast is "just asking", such as:

    🐭🍆 Did (Lovely) Rita Rudner ever guest star in a "SHOtime After Dark" entry, or was she merely the lead-in programming, immediately following "An American Tail"?

    ✝🍕 (Angry Chicago Guy:) If Paul McCartney's pitching is in a strident manner, how come he and Mark Buherle ain't in Cooperstown? And how come the Pope ain't returning no answering machine messages no more, he too good for me now? We go to Aurelio's every Tuesday, he better show up.

    🚫🧸 Cancel "Teddy Boy", correct?

  • Some “podcasts” only hear The Beatles (TM, pending) tell some. But only one “Podcast” hears the Beatles tell all, for one. #Sting #BryanAdams #RodStewart #TellMeAllYourThoughtsOnRod

    This week, our own Dunhill & V.J. - Tony & T.J.! - jump into one of the long-forgotten, 1964 V.J. record label cash grabs, “Hear The Beatles Tell All”. This tabloid-style Beatles interview album contains no Beatles music, but it does feature one of rock & soul music’s greatest drummers this side of Purdydice City. Take! Me! Home! #PurdiePlayedOnThatTrackToo

    Take a trip back to late 1964, when this album was released, or sometime in the 1980’s, when T.J bought a fake V.J. version in a real Chicago record store, played it, and carefully put it back in a rice paper sleeve, where it lived until about a week ago. Which pressing does he have? Do you really care? Does he? Does Tony? Casey? P3Z-Nutz? Why is John pregnant, again? And why not use this gone tropportunity to ask more questions, such A$:

    👄👨‍⚕️ Is anyone else clamoring for the Untitled Motley Hatchet podcast, or is that idea just flirtin’ with Dr. Feelbad?

    🎤🚗 Would it be so terrible if the official 9th Beatle (as formally recognized by Calderstone) was Harry Schmerler, your singing Ford dealer? #RockaybeYourBabyyyyyyyyyy

    🍗 If you give out Putin pal/draft dodger Donald Trump’s address, will you come down with a case of Chicken Doxx? Because you’d have doxxed an actual f’ing chicken?

  • Holy Beatles Discovery! Two 1963 concerts, in arguably made up British towns, have surfaced! They capture the early days of British Beatlemania (#BillyJoel) and are a revelatory addition to the Beatle live catalog. One can only hope Calderstone/UMe releases it in a souped up vinyl version, with an Apple and on Capitol's 1988 purple label, for only $75! #ThrowInADamnGnome #AndAnXDRChime

    As if we needed any more proof that the fabs were on top of their game well before they hit the U.S. (angry Chicago guy: "How come Tony & T.J. hate A Murica so bad? And how come I'm wet again, in my no-fun places?"), these raw and rare recordings reiterate the unmatched power of the early live Beatles.

    A newly, virtually, reunited Gab Two discuss this and more, and ask the questions only the censored, silenced media on Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, countless podcasts, and Sinclair's local news affiliates are brave/high enough to ask, like:

    🌈🥁 If Family Matters, why would Uncle/Urkel Keith’s band fire Zak Starkey?

    🐷🪓 Will this year’s Swingin’ Pig Ren Faire have longtime Atlanta Brave David Justice signing vegetables before Motley Hatchett performs to white audiences clapping on the 1 and 3?

  • As our beloved US quickly descends into cruel authoritarian idiocy, the UBP crew reunited IRL to wax fab on new RSD purchases, old Reckless Records purchases, and then attend an IMAX screening of the new Magnolia Films doc One To One: John & Yoko.

    Within the fortified safety of their top secret Meigs Field Beatle Bunker Bag, T.J., Tony and Producer Casey hunkered down to opine freely about anything (¿🇺🇸?) and pre-game with some DEEP HARDCORE MACCA. Owwwoooooo!!!!

    It wouldn’t be a UBP field trip without a visit to some kind of ROADHOUSE. And while no one got punched completely through the stomach at this particular establishment, the atmosphere was lively with the CRUNCH of real pub-style appetizers AND the PLOP of real hard-hitting questions.

    Questions like:

    🤮 Does your pronunciation of the Wrigleyville wing-stitution Yakzie’s depend on which side of the tracks you were born?

    🎧 How come streaming services don’t feature an XDR chime and 27 seconds of hiss to start off every album?

    💰 Why did John have so many copies of Abbey Road in his re-enactment apartment? Was he reselling them to Bleecker Bob’s for rent money???

    Sadly, our fact-checking robot P3Z-Nutz was kidnapped by ICE agents on the way to his favorite oil store, where he has been disappeared without due process to be re-tariffed for Government Bitcoins using taxpayer dollars. I think Gary Numan put it best when he said “Is everything stupid?” (Fact-checking currently out of order)

    Remember, if you voted for the scrotum-faced man-toddler wannabe-Putin, you’re either in on the grift (rich psychopath), or you got grifted (poor mark). Binary world, right?

    Yang Yang! You’ve given me a Yang Yang! And we’re thinking of Yoko…so we’ve decided to reach into our archives for a limited, deluxe remix/remaster/reissue/bonus Gnome edition of our vaunted 4th episode in 2020, where we deep-dished a Tony favorite: Yoko Ono’s “Approximately Infinite Universe”!

    Did you know it’s TWO albums? Well hell yeah, it is! Good for Tony. Butt, what about T.J.? Well, there are even more questions that must be answered, such a$:

    🧹Spoilers: Did Yoko’s “Death Of Samantha” predict the “Who’s The Boss?” series finale decades before it aired?

    ☀️🍔 Does anyone remember the 1990’s Fiddler On The Roof/Don Henley theme restaurant, “Sunrise Sunset Grill”?

    🏀 Was San Diego Clipper great World B. Free really a bastard? And if not, WTF with Yoko’s hateful tune?

    ——-

    Originally published June 20, 2020

    Tony turns TJ on...to Yoko Ono's 1973 double-LP Approximately Infinite Universe. They explore the merits of her influence and the complexities of her marriage to John at the time this album was recorded. TJ comes to terms with his disdain for Elephant's Memory, particularly the saxophone, and Tony reveals his least favorite song of all time. Spoiler: it's not by The Beatles (Remember, they like them!)

  • March may be officially in the rearview, but its Madness sticks around for one more week! Join T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey as they Duke it out over their Eighth Beatle Brackets, and maybe also inadvertently disseminate dubious biographical details.

    We’re just asking questions here. Like:

    🏀🍆 Did Jimmie Nicol "Delonte West" John’s Aunt Mimi?

    📡🍆 Can any of us ever truly know whether “Radar Love” was written about Patti Boyd?

    🇺🇸🍆 Where was Cilla Black on J6?

    WE’RE 👏 JUST 👏 ASKING 👏 QUESTIONS 👏 HERE 👏

    And who will be crowned the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s official Eighth Beatle? Could this finally be Ringo’s year? Probably not, but you’re a mere 53 minutes away from knowing for sure; 35 minutes and 20 seconds for you monsters who listen at 1.5x speed.

  • It’s 1964. The Beatles have conquered America. But beneath the screams and the hysteria lies a secret—a mystery so audacious, so rhythmically complex, that it has remained hidden for decades. Could it be true that Bernard Purdie, legendary session drummer, played on Beatles records?

    Join hard-hitting investigator Tony Mendoza as he dives headfirst into one of rock and roll’s most bizarre conspiracy theories. Along the way, he encounters a rogue’s gallery of underground insiders whose stories paint a picture of deception, syncopation, and a janitor with a mop that could shuffle harder than a Reno croupier.

    Did Bernard Purdie really lay down the beat for the biggest band in the world? Or is this just another myth in the long, strange history of Beatles lore?

    Find out in The Purdie Sound of Music—an exhaustive 87-part true (or false?) crime docuseries. Coming April 1, 2026, only on The Untitled Beatles Podcast.

  • It’s March Madness! Can you feel the excitement, between bouts of despair from our rapid descent into a fascist state? And did anyone else pick Fascist State to beat Attica State in the Hate Eight?

    The UBP takes March Madness more seriously than Americans take hating Duke. (David. F**k him!) Because at the UBP, we have two jobs: being the podcast of academic record for serious Beatle (and bible) study, and creating a tournament bracket destined to cement Dick Biondi’s legacy as a Top 10 figure in Beatles history! So play along with us as Tony, T.J., and Casey crown this year’s champion, the iron-clad, Apple/Calderstone-endorsed, OFFICIAL Eighth Beatle. Who will win it all this year? As John & Yoko once said, “Listen To This Podcast”!

  • 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".#📁_🍆🎸

    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:

    🏟️📼💦 (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?

    📶1️⃣2️⃣ Is 12 Bar Original actually 12 bars and/or original?

    🟣💰🤑 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:

    🇬🇧🎙️ Who was the superior BBC presenter: Lee Peters, Pee Litres, or Step By Step's Patrick Duffy?

    🍌👽 How come Ringo doesn't want us throwing bananas at him anymore, and when was he planning to warn us (with peace and love)?

  • Have you ever had a Rock & Roll Fantasy? The Kinks did. So did Bad Company. And nobody hated Bad Company more than rock music’s 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 America’s most acclaimed podcasts.

    Inspired by an inspiring suggestion from longtime listener, Patreon supporter, and singer/songwriter, Montreal’s own Max "Como" Comeau (which translates loosely in ‘Murican to "Max, how"?), Tony and T.J. dare to dream: what would have a Beatles reunion concert been like in the late 1970’s? 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 - you’ll thank us for the two drink minimum, folks - but don’t fret; neither will these:

    🚫👖 (Angry Chicago Guy:) How come Frankie Goes To Hollywood instead of Sheridan when he’s getting off the outer drive? And how come Wix got a problem with America's hottie, Sister Jean?

    🚫🏊🏻‍♂️ Why is it literally impossible to find out how/where Keith Moon died? Nobody has this information?

  • The fab four’s fourth fab album, Beatles for Sale, isn’t 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 UBP’s very own Tony “Dave Dexter Junior, Junior” Mendoza wants to make this album even better. How will he do this you may ask? That’s why you literally have to listen! (No, really this time we’re not f**king around.) Spoiler alert: just when the “lawyers” 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 Tony’s world, the timeless wavelengths remain, well, timeless. And also, wavelengths.

    You can’t spoil a UBP “Beatles For Sale” party, because a UBP “Beatles For Sale” party don’t spoil! Oy, unless it’s too hot at this meshugana picnic! Which one of you shcmucks brought egg salad, it’s a thousand degrees out here!? And also:

    🇫🇷 Is Queen Latifa’s best song about a French record pressing plant “U-N-R-T-I”?

    🌎💨🏍️ (Angry Chicago guy:) How come nobody ain’t calls Earth Wind and Fire reverse racists* for not hiring Erik Estrada to sing “Celebrate Good Times, Come On” on their tours? (*Not a thing)

    🐴🛖 Why does T.J. think the random, current Sheriff of the Norwalk Republican Town Committee played Arnold Horshack on “Welcome Back Kotter”?

  • It’s one of the more unique and perhaps under-appreciated albums in the Beatles otherworldly catalog: “Beatles For Sale”. Recorded in the eye of the Beatlemania storm, with the making of what would become “Help” right around the corner, this is one of the few Beatles albums that, to quote TLC’s tribute to Zach Braff (NBC’s “No Scrubs”), “Beatles For Sale”, sadly gets no love. It’s occasionally dismissed as a creative and energy step down from the album which preceded it, “A Hard Days Night”. BY MORONS, AM I RIGHT? Because this is a damn fine album, however exhausted and transitional the boys may have been, and it’s long past time it gets an authentic, patented UBP deep dish. Hold the sausage, it’s 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:

    🍔 Is Tony a first time grunter, a longtime grunter, or a R.J. Grunter?

    🌈 Marvin Gaye ganked the riff and feel of “Got To Give It Up” from longtime, actual soul legend Robin Thicke, yes? Like, obviously?

    🥁 Is Bernard Purdie, scientifically, the world’s only drummer?

  • Sure, in 1982, George may have “Gone Troppo” … but who could’ve guessed that some 43 years later, his old pal Ringo would have “Gone Conttro”?

    That’s right! Buckle your buckles, scoot those boots, and pour out’cher ten gallon hats, because this week the Twangin’ Two dish deep not just on Ringo’s new Nashville-infused release, “Look Up”, 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 “Curley” Dudley, and Dick Butkus, and along the ride we ask:

    🌿 Who got higher at Poplar Creek in the 1980s: Willie Nelson, or T.J.’s mom?

    🐂 True or False: Tony’s first concert was Alvin and the Chipmunks at the opening night of Coyote Ugly Saloon?

    👯 Is Ringo’s “Can You Hear Me Call” featuring Molly Tuttle the greatest solo Beatle duet since Macca’s “Ivory and Ivory” with Hamish Stuart?
