Blotto Beatles (Blotto Beatles)

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."

Yeah, we should be talking Beatles in these episode notes, but we got SAM CALAGIONE of the mighty Dogfish Head Brewery this week! We go long talking about his beers, what got him to brew, the items he has in the Smithsonian, confusing the Beatles with The Replacements in front of Joan Jett, failed authors, and the bands that ended up naked in his house.  It's a long one, but it's worth it, and we ain't Geoff Eme-Rick Rolling you on that one.

Oh yeah, we also chat about that swampy  Abbey Road tune, "Come Together."

Episode 43, take a ride with your Blotto heroes as we gather together for a field trip and kickoff the first annual Blost Weekend -recorded deep in the woods from a moderately disclosed location in Western Massachusetts. 

We bring you all of the hijinks you've come to love (or loathe), now with more Blotto-to-Blotto eye contact. We talk..was Tommy right? Would The Eagles be better if they were called 2 Dons? How many people on one mic is too much? Becker gets confused about TO, TWO & TOO and most importantly we chat on the great Let It Be tune "Two Of Us".

We take a break from the Blost Weekend to discuss Ringo's feelings on Dianetics, missing Mystery words, our guest Walter Martin, Walt's amazing new record THE BEAR, our new segment "Choppin' Wood with Walter Martin," a pro solo Ringo take, telling the guy at the grocery store about how Leonard Cohen kissed your girlfriend on the cheek, Walter's song about the Beatles called "The Beatles," another episode of And Your Nerd Can Sing, McCartney doing RUN DMC, recognizing the Joe Bonamossa cover of this song, immediately A-Paul-ogizing because Joe Bonamossa never did a cover of this song, Peter Brown getting some shine, lots of breakfast talk,  and the story song "The Ballad of John and Yoko."

Because we are so cultured, we get into this episode by discussing Shakespearean theatre before we dip back in to the world of the Blotto Bungalow (Bill?) and talking about the return of Chris, precedented maneuvers, the sad loss of Taylor Hawkins, a generous box of snacks from Pete G, a devious gift of Malort from Becker, the option to rent the Blotto Bungalow (Bill?) on Air BnB, visiting new friends at Senna Farms Brewery, the Beatles Detroit roots, an unexpected ICP tangent,   and the unattractive jealousy of "You Can't Do That."

We kick into episode 46 by breaking podcast ground (again) before introducing Chris (again); talking about our pump up music;  asking if "Hey Ya" is the best song every written; realizing we are pretty old;  wondering if Chris should be the official Stat-Man, Scat-Man, or Scat-Man (the other kind of scat); drinking Maccaritas; landing on our favorite preparation for corn; wondering about the Ranking the Beatles rankings (again); praising the Tommy Stans; filming the other Beatles doc about them at their worst; wearing a sport coats during 80s rock production; doing the Bartman; challenging Metallica to doubles tennis; listening to an episode of “And Your Nerd Can Sing” that blows everyone’s minds; and talking the pop hit "Eight Days a Week."

It's the second annual BLOTTO VETOES SPECTACULAR!  We celebrate our second poddiversary by each selecting one song from our canonical list of Beatles songs from best to worst and trying to convince the other Blottos of its rightful placement.  Will Scotty win two in a row?  Will RB come in like a young buck and stir it up?  Will Tommy be snubbed on votes for a second year?  Will Becker be mad the the Scruffs clearly agree with Tommy?  Listen and find out!

Oh, and we also saw Paul McCartney and chat about that.

Episode 47 begins year three of Team Blotto's project, so we start with the release of two new t-shirts that management told us would sell like hotcakes.  From there, we get into it with our amazing guest Caleb Nichols who discussed his new album/rock operetta, Ramon, describe as " the experience of a micro-mushroom-dosed pizza for your gay date night with the magnesium/iron combo of queer comedy and tragedy"; the idea of queering the Beatles; a wine buyer's opinion on box wine; pretending wine is kombucha while working heavy machinery; what makes a rock opera;  the artistic merit of fan fiction; creating a mythology for groups who were never allowed to have on;  Brian Epstein as a hero; Caleb making us realize that Paul's pseudonym, "Ramon," is just a play on his song title, "Ram On," and the lovable rocker, "Boys."

We come in strong after a little bit of a summer respite with some timely Top Gun rumors, Scotty's specter, RB's Vermonting score, taking boats to see Deer Tick, the Blottos getting down at an actual dance club, Becker's thesis that we all have the epic experiences of our favorite writers, Scotty's homemade wine, that time Ringo hung those two balls from his pants during a photo shoot, your partner asking you to keep their love a secret as a giant red flag, and the Disney-inspired "Do You Want to Know a Secret?"

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 52 begins with a discussion of how we would NEVER consider using a producer other than Scotty C, a discussion of new snacks sent by listeners, hibachi experiences, pros and cons of podcast banter, the introduction of our guests Phoebe and Daphne from the amazing Another Kind of Mind, growing up on the Beatles with and without the internet, Tommy's alter ego Tom Cruise, John's hamster tube house, Paul with his trousers rolled up, and the earthy "Mother Nature's Son."

UPDATE: We had a sync error partway through the episode and uploaded a new version. If you are a subscriber, you may need to download again to get this newer version.

Episode 53 finds those Blotto boys together again and up to the same old shenanigans. While we've conquered the world of inebriated Beatles broadcasting, we are excited to announce our next endeavor - Blotto Beatles: The Podcast - A Musical. Enjoy the teaser of what's to come (if I know Tommy and a bit, there's more to come...).

After that, the fellas get into a Prince-ly discussion about the Fabulous Four, before diving into the seemingly dashed-off and rhyme-y John jam "It's Only Love". Maybe no one is amazed by this tune, but you know we'll find something to talk about. Meanwhile, the question persists, Is it a rhyme if you are matching up to the same word?

Please listen in for a show first, as The Blottos take on this week's introduction in arrears, we're sure you can't even tell...Tommy gets caught cheating on his intro and Becker needs a couple of takes to get into it. From there, special guest Jason Narducy joins in and he brought a big big track to talk on. Jason is part of a lot of things we love - his band Split Single and a member of Superchunk & the Bob Mould band.  Good chat with a great guest (on the best Beatles track?), dig it.

If you are unfamiliar with Jason's work, please check out his music as Split Single and follow along on IG & Twitter.  Check if he's rolling through your town in late March / April.

Oh, we also had several visits from the Ghost of Dr. John.

We start with news of Tommy's upcoming hiatus from the pod before diving into  the nostalgia of XDR tonebursts, Led Zeppelin ripping of Def Leopard, Ranking the Beatles' Jonathan Pretus doing our karaoke in the voice of Dr. John, an A-Paul-ogy, our first listener submitted karaoke track, that time the Beatles wore leather and specific haircuts while beating on brats, the Ramones debut LP as a Thanksgiving record, and the live set staple from the Beatles, Long Tall Sally.

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 start off this episode by sharing a spin-off Blotto production "Freehold Companion", before realizing that The Blottos owe Tommy a very real aPAULogy. From there we get right down to it with this week's guest Bob Pernice (but not until Becker stops talking about himself) and the very big track he brought along with him. Not only is this the finest Beatles song on marine mammalogy, but it really shakes up some fundamentals of our ongoing list.

Bob is not only a great guest and a passionate Beatles fan, but he plays music with his brother. Give a listen to the great Pernice Brothers album "Overcome by Happiness", which is getting a deluxe 25th-anniversary reissue next month. Also, if you're lucky enough to live in New York or Boston, you'll get a chance to see the album performed in its entirety, do it!

Welcome to the second annual Blost Weekend where we bug out to the Blotto Bungalow, Bill?  We kick into this effort of recording three episodes over two days by going full Lindsay-Hogg, discussing our new number one song, yadda yadda yaddaing the RB Stans, considering the Beatles Nigel Godrich produced record, questioning Thom Yorke's pants game, talking to Jared Sena of Sena Farms Brewery about the Beatles and his efforts making delicious beer in the hill towns of Western Mass, impersonating Silverchair, questioning the difference between a violin and a fiddle, and digging into the 38-second traditional song Maggie Mae.

We hit a major milestone of lining up episode numbers and song titles by digging into the vaults of the British Library for a rare recording of James McCartney; great notes from new listeners; an A-Paul-ogy; RB's Blue Drink; The Beatles grunge era; a lot of Foo Fighters talk for a section on Nirvana; inviting Dave Grohl to the pod; potentially insulting Dave Grohl, even though we think he's a cool dude; reminding Grohl that we'd love to have him on the pod; Becker's distaste for James Corden; if we know what skiffle is; the big reveal of Tommy's occupation; how Woody Allen ruined the clarinet; RB's new catch phrase, "Send snacks, send pants, send pants full of snacks;" and the song of commitment, "When I'm Sixty-Four."

Welcome back to the second annual Blost Weekend, where we crack open the McCartney '71 tapes once again before revealing that this episode is the backside of a double header, recognizing Becker's athletic skill, questioning which Ted Lasso characters we are, complimenting our cocktails recommended by Chris Bach of Bachtails (WooHoo), counting the number of names Becker has for a harmonica, and talking about that blues harp tinged "I Should Have Known Better."

Episode 68 begins with some AI shenanigans before we jump right into discussion with our guest, and the host of the incomparable "Paul or Nothing" podcast, Mr. Sam Whiles;  whether it would be more appropriate to tickle Paul McCartney or blow him a kiss; Hot Take Tommy; Sam feeling as if we gave him a throwaway track; Macca's new podcast; theories on the new Beatles track; carrying on the traditions of our parents; and the fantasy of "There's a Place."

It says it right on the tin, people.  Pushkin Media reached out to us and asked if we would be interested in hearing a preview episode of the brand new "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics" podcast, which was just released today, October 4, 2023.  What you will hear within this episode are the Blotto reactions to the first episode, which focuses on "Eleanor Rigby," followed by the McCartney episode, in full.

Listen here, and then make sure to subscribe to this newcomer to Beatles Podcasting - we really think he's got something.

Without further ado, Blotto Beatles Present: "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics."  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Did you all know there's a NEW Beatles song?
Did you know it's the LAST Beatles song?
Did you know it was originally recorded to a CASSETTE tape?

You did?

Well, we wanted to talk about it, and we wanted to do it with some of our best pod pals. Listen in as we are joined by Allison from BC the Beatles and Jonathan from Ranking the Beatles as we dig into "Now & Then," it's humble beginnings and futuristic endings, the music video, the remixed "Love Me Do," that artwork, and which member of the 1992 Dream Team Tommy most resembles.  It's a fun one!

It says it on the tin, people.  Your dear Blottos went to the 50th annual Fest for Beatles Fans, held this year at the TWA Hotel at JFK Airpot - the very same airport where the Beatles landed 60 years ago.  MARVEL! as we reflect on our experience.  THRILL! as we play field recordings and interviews.  GUFFAW! as we have a few yucks and discuss who ended up on stage with all the performers to end the night.

We kick into the last quarter of our first century of episodes with a deep discussion of reprises, especially as they relate to SOAD jerks.  We then record an INTRO IN ARREARS before introducing true pod royalty in our guest Alex Goldman, taking Alex on a journey that includes a serious discussion of pronunciation, the worst Tweets of 2023, Alex's music Slow Fawns, The Beastie Boys, a lot about A Day in the Life, iconic 1-2-3-4s, the strange connections between podcast producers, and the end of the concept with an analysis of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Reprise.

Episode 77 starts with a dive into Ringo's role as the original Beatle to bring Indian music to the band before we discuss breweries appropriating rockstars visages, teaching Scotty how to drink beer from a bottle, THC beverages, Cheech as the go-getter of the duo, when the Beatles were all by themselves, probably a little too much Jawbreaker talk, RB throwing a middle eight in to make a Beatles song better, Scotty coming out late with this a sleeper fave, and the questionable Ringo sung "What Goes On."

Baby, it's time to crack into episode 78 where your Blottos discuss the infamous Cameron Crowe/Beatles connections, the amazing influence of our guest Skylar Moody, feeling on the new Beatles films, feelings on Timothy Chalamet, a record number of calls from fans, a surprise drop in from Beatles podcasting royalty talking about the Queen Bee's cover of Blackbird, wearing a "What Would Jonathan Do?" bracelet, getting the Beatles couches, mispronouncing Clavioline, and the ballad of the hippy movement, "Baby, You're a Rich Man."

We get ambushed by an AI Tommy intro before the real one takes us into the world of Ringo's haberdashery.  From there we do the work of fighting against those who say we aren't drinking enough on air, discussing what we would do with a billion dollars, thinking about Rick Rubin as the zen master of mixologists for your Blottos, listening to some more voicemails from listeners, considering the Dad rock of The Beatles, fighting about street level vs. collegiate Beatles, hiring the therapist from Some Kind of Monster, introducing our new listener suggested Let It Pee segment, and a big one in Beatles material, Can't Buy Me Love.

We begin our octogenarian episode with Tommy's artistic expression of his anger towards Becker before we record an intro in arrears, featuring the magic of our new THX (or THC) bumper.   And then, friends, 80 is a big number, and we are doing a big song with a big guest!  We welcome Mr. Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes to discuss what some would consider to be the most popular Beatles song.  Victor was kind enough to give us the time to talk about his work in one of the most important alternative bands of all time before we discuss one of the most important works of the Fab Four.  Where will we rank it?  There's only one way to find out.

We return from a brief hiatus with the scholarly work you know and love....and then we hit a couple of early Magical Mystery Words.  From there we go heavy banter as we discuss George Clinton, summer vacations, our own review of our own list correction episode, Slane's refusal to be our official whiskey, Tommy visiting Slane Castle to formally request a sponsorship, what we would do if nominated for a Poddy, Becker only listening to songs that give him specific instructions for life, the Blottos pulling a Sufjan, Marvel Villain Ron Richards, and a song where we can only discuss the drummer, "PS I Love You."

We get back after a hiatus and rap about the universally accepted worst Beatles song ever.  Do we agree?  You'll find out after you sort through The Beatles Halloween Fan Club records, starting fires, the plight of professional podcasters, several Ranking the Beatles related messages, the role of youth coaching, Tommy inventing ice beers (again),Beatles soccer chants, kidney transplants, the official ranking of "Mr." songs, and the organ solo jam, "Mr. Moonlight."

We bring it up in the episode - if you haven't heard Tom Scharpling's "Mr. Moonlight" story, you need to listen to it here.  If you like that, you'll love Scharpling's The Best Show.

It was a singular joy to close out the year in episode 85 with Tom Hunyady and Andy Nicholes of the 2Legs podcast as we discussed the McCartney '71 tapes, some real moments of what this work means to us when other things feel upside down, a State of the Blotto Union, The George RR Martins of New England, New Year's Blotto Resolutions (including Stamos), why mistakes happen on the list, the Blotto Mono Box Set, couples counseling for podcast hosts, the mandatory Thanksgiving/Last Waltz chat, the Backbeat soundtrack, the Beatles early bongo obsession, Shea Stadium notes, if McCartney actually drove a boat or started a campfire in his Anthology interviews, the first time Ringo hit a mystery word for us, the best day of McCartney in the studio, Andy Nicholes calling "Yesterday" the worst McCartney Beatles song ever, a lot of talk about our mutual friend Sam Whiles, and the McCarntey barn burner "I'm Down."

The interstitial music you heard between our intro and the welcome of the 2Legs gents is an original Scotty C. composition entitled "Elbows."  Once you listen too the episode, you will understand why this was a perfect place to point that out.

The Blottos start with a review of the new Beatleverse trailer before diving headfirst into a full-on banger of a Beatles track with author Jack Marriott; from there we quickly dive into our day drinker, the fingerpicking murders of Donovan, cozying up to a bar on a Sunday Funday, the upcoming bangers and clangers to be tackled, having a plastered pilgrimage through Beatledom, drinking above pubs that hold 50-year-old birthday parties, Manchester Britpop, rucksacks with old cassettes, being shit faced at the end of the bar and requesting Flowers in the Dirt, if Paul knows how much a pack of cigarettes costs, Tommy marketing himself as an audiobook reader, and all the magic parts that add up to the travel-focused "Ticket to Ride."

The Beatles changed the world with three simple words: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah—and we’re here to overthink (and over-drink) every last one of them. This week, we take a deep dive into She Loves You with James Campion, author of Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude. We discuss everything from Paul’s dad’s questionable lyrical edits to the harmonic genius behind this early Beatles barnburner. Plus, we take a few detours into dramatic readings, home decor philosophies, and the eternal question—does this song still slap after five pints?

Where does this iconic track land on our ever-expanding, ever-argued-over Big Ol’ List of Beatles Songs? Tune in, pour one out, and find out. Out now—dig it!

Where does this absolute ripper land on our big ol’ list of Beatles tunes? Stick around, pour another round, and find out.

The Blottos hit the double ochos by playing a voicemail from the fictional world of Knives Out, hitting a very early Magical Mystery Word, questioning when the last time was that people saw Ringo's eyes, complimenting Becker's Joe Walsh impression, suggesting that Scotty add a cowboy hat to the ensemble, mixing cocktails live on air, apologizing to the Larrys of the world, and diving deep into the many layers of the critically underrated Glass Onion.  Mix up a Gibson and join us for the ride.

Have you ever wondered what it's like behind the curtain of a Blotto Beatles recording session?  This intro peels it all back for a look into how the sausage is made.  We really get down to business after that as we....take an episode we recorded for Ranking the Beatles and put it up on our feed.  With that, we have our usual fun as we are joined by one of our original pod pals in Jonathan Pretus of Ranking the Beatles to discuss if Tommy's impression is more Leno or Tyson, Ringo's feet, the Billy Corgan and Bill Burr brotherhood, Scotty's caricatures, the Blottos replacing Billy Joel in his MSG residency, how the Blottos sleep, lots about Crocs, lots about Garbage Pail Kids, and the Larry Williams original, Slow Down.

We say it several times in the episode, but if you're headed to the Fest for Beatles Fans in New Jersey during the weekend of March 28, please make sure to come up and say hi and don't forget to swing by and see our live podcast episode with Jonathan.

From there we welcome guest and comedian Julie Klausner as we discuss if “Marmalade Full of Botulism” is the best Warren Zevon record; if Ringo has actually ever had pizza;  opinions on Bill Burr, Billy Corgan, and Ben Franklin; if the Blottos are cats or dogs; if birds ever wing; and the Broadway cover “Til There Was You.”

"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.

In our second episode we discuss the debut jazz record from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, old British rockers sniping at each other in the press, and the spiritual George Harrison tune "Long, Long, Long," from the White Album.  Who likes "Piggies" better?  Who forgot about "While My Guitar Gently Weeps?"  Where does this one rank?  All questions will be answered.

In our fourth episode we uncover one of the most infamous Beatles conspiracy theories, toast rock giant Little Richard, and dive into Revolver with the Paul McCartney number "Good Day Sunshine."  Who came in hot on the mic?  Do we hit the Magical Mystery Word? Who takes a decidedly anti-Paul stance this early on?  All questions are answered within.

Pepper's, old jazz musicians, Scotty's harpsichord phase,  our first bad beer experience, McCartney's Amazing Gravy, Jesus, Milli Vanilli, and our first look at SGT.

There's so much going on at Blotto HQ that we had to release an extrasode just to cover it all!

First, we have one week left on our Sgt. Pepper's sweepstakes, which you can find here.  Enter to win a Sgt. Pepper's picture disc, the opportunity to name the "Magical Mystery Word" for an upcoming episode, or a Blotto Beatles prize pack.

Second, we have merch!  Buy some here!

Third, we were recent guests on the Ranking the Beatles podcast.  Our new pod pals Jonathan and Julia are doing some amazing work, and we were psyched to join them and discuss "I'll Get You" on episode #210.  You can grab it here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Fourth, we are still working hard to get original Beatles drummer Pete Best a blue verified check mark on Twitter, and we need your help.  Shout it from the mountains: #PeteBestGetThatCheck

Finally, and most importantly, we are super chuffed up to announce a partnership with Cape Cod's Devil's Purse brewery.  We recently stopped by to see their operation and were given a wide variety of very delicious and very free beer.  To celebrate, we decided it was time to go on a flight.  Welcome to the first edition of THE FLIGHT ALBUM, featuring our good pal Chris.

It's time to get scholarly at Blotto HQ.  Put on your robe, light your pipe, pour a snifter of brandy, and retire to your study as we welcome Kenneth Womack (The Wo!) for this extrasode.  Ken is the author of the newly released JOHN LENNON 1980: THE LAST DAYS IN THE LIFE, and SOLID STATE: THE STORY OF ABBEY ROAD AND THE END OF THE BEATLES, among others.  He joined Team Blotto to discuss the burning questions only a Beatles scholar can answer, what he's been up to in the pandemic, the enormous loss we all still from from the passing of John Lennon, and the Yoko song, "Walking on Thin Ice," which features John Lennon's last guitar work.

Oh, and he said we could drunk text him in the future.

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."

Check us out this Saturday, February 13th, on The Alphabetical Fugazi podcast.  We were chuffed to join Ian in discussing the Fugazi song, "I'm So Tired."

So here's the thing, y'all; we normally get right into our episode description, but -- if you listen to this one -- you will hear that we have a good friend fighting a mother effer of a disease in ALS.  To say it's been an eyeopening experience for us is an understatement.  To that end, Blotto Beatles is hosting an event in support of the incredible nonprofit organization, ALS One - a live virtual trivia night on Friday, 2/26/21.  For more info on how to play and donate, please visit https://www.blottobeatles.com/trivia.  We would love to have you be part of something that is so important to us.
---
In Episode 19 we go deep into the Venn diagram that is the Beatles and WCW wrestling; a welcome to our guest and good bud, Tucker;  a return of our good bud and new associate producer, Chris; the review of Chris' episode that just said "...at some point I was just listening to see if he would say guitar again;" Tucker's mom's hot takes on the Stones vs. the Beatles; some information on ALS and ALS One; yup, medicinal; Scotty's discomfort  camping with
Tommy and Becker; Becker's discomfort with Tommy's new catchphrase "poo poos;" Tucker arguing that everyone poo poos; how the Beatles are for the children; and a discussion on the Rubber Soul song "In My Life" that hits moments of reflection, humor, sadness, honesty, and nostalgia.  As Becker says in the episode, "This [one] is real."

In episode 20 we begin with overwhelming gratitude to the Blotto Family and Blotto Scruffs  for all you did to make our live virtual trivia fundraiser for ALS One such a success.  At the time of this airing, we sit at just below $5,000 raised, which is a sum of money we never dreamed possible.  If you would like to contribute, we will be accepting donations through our website and shop through the end of March, 2021. 

From there we get into our usual nonsense by discussing the greatness and dynasty at the heart of Team Blotto, Becker's potential for a signature shoe, Tommy's favorite Star Trek episode, an invitation to Sam from Dogfish Head followed by an immediate insult, the Beatles other hair period, what Tommy's mom thought of GnR, the amazing cover to Beatles for Sale, Scott's role in the Newsies musical,  and the trebly tune, "What You're Doing."

This one also includes what is maybe our best karaoke to date.  You're welcome.

Our pod is 21 episodes old; we celebrate it's ability to drink legally in the US by discussing Ringo's influence on early American emo, Scotty's work on making podcasters essential, the Beatles DIY ethic, the similarities between the Beatles and DC postpunk stalwarts FUGAZI, the potential of doing a reverse alphabetical Beatles podcast, the potential of doing a podcast where we play Fugazi songs backwards, Ian's single malt scotch takes, Sir Walter Raleigh's level of gitness, the lost colony of Roanoke and its overall spookiness, Beatles pillow fights, a dip into the Fugazi "I'm So Tired" demo from the Instrument soundtrack, how weird it is that it is Fugazi's second most popular song, our first voicemail from a very prestigious guest caller, and the bed-based Beatles song, "I'm So Tired."

If all of this Fugazi discussion piqued your interest, please check out our Blotto Beatles Guide to Fugazi playlist.

In episode 24 we dig into phase two of Disney's Beatles acquisition, Becker's admission that the French horn may be perfect, Becker's penchant for drinking directly from trucks, the Paul is dread rumors, some timely Rounders talk, giving George a song and then out singing him, and the boring song "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You."

Having just celebrated one year of Blotto, we wanted to stop for a moment a review and reflection.  As you know, we are compiling the canonical, argument-ending list of Beatles songs from best to worst as we have a few drinks.  Over the year there has been a little bit of internal discussion among Team Blotto as we asked ourselves, "Is the list as perfect as we think it is?"

The is the topic of conversation and we take on a little bit of a gameshow and a little bit of a debate to figure it out.  Will everything stand at its current ranking?  There's only one way to find out.

We crack open year two with a reflection of the iconic artistic movement der Voorman Versteckte, a very early Magical Mystery Word, some discussion of our early days listening to indie rock, the introduction of our guest Travis Shettel from the rock band Piebald, who Piebald is and what the band has been up to in recent years, some more Magical Mystery Words, Golden Girls and Springsteen t-shirts, the beauty of a good diss track, asking Kurt Ballou from Converge to play your guitar solos when you can't, the Beatles role in the Chapel Hill punk scene of the 1990s, pogoing for three hours every night, impeccable dress shirts, a song that comes out Birdsy at first, some more Magical Mystery Words, Frank Sinatra's bird, Cynthia Lennon's bird, Mick Jagger's bird, an uncovering of meaning in the lyrics we've heard a million times, artists falling out of touch, saying the title of a Beatles song right after you do a shot, and the guitarmony-laden Revolver song "And Your Bird Can Sing."

As you will hear in this episode, Travis lamented that there wasn't a list of what he considered to be the greatest Piebald songs.  After the episode, we asked him to correct that error. If you aren't familiar with Piebald, we recommend that you listen to Blotto Beatles Presents: Travis Shettel's Guide to Piebald.

We kick into episode 28 with a review of John Lennon's third book, the many pneumatic tubes at Blotto HQ, the end of the pandi, EP Scotty C's collection of speedos, our favorite authors, another instance when the sequel is better than the original, keeping your gerbils safe, the Beatles penchant for trains and Toblerone-shaped music players, making guitarmony an evergreen mystery word, an A-Paul-ogy, Tommy's discomfort with swearing when his uncle is listening, the Monkees chasing each other through hallways, the Dear John theme song, Eminem spoilers, and the song that probably inspired Charles Bukowski to put pen to paper, Paperback Writer.
