Ep. 60.1 | Deep Dish: Let It Be⊠Naked (2003) | Replay!
To quote the great Rob Thomas, "Man it's a hot one!" This week, the guys are keeping cool ("So cool" -- Rob Thomas) and we hope you are too. And, frankly, we like our hot summer days like we like our Let It Be... Naked!
Please enjoy this classic from the UBP stacks.
Originally aired 10 July, 2021
Take it off! Wait, leave some on! In anticipation of the continuing delay of Peter Jackson's Get Back film, T.J. and Tony react to the recent Vanity Fair teaser about said project, then delve into the first revisionist history attempt of The Beatles swan song, 2003's Let It Be... Naked.
They dissect the merits and flaws of these stripped down "newer phase" mixes, and reveal which bits they prefer clothed. Meanwhile, Tony impresses T.J. with his Star Wars knowledge, T.J. impresses non-listeners with his musical theatre knowledge, and the two explore Harry Caray backwards masking, Rappin' Rodney and the cola wars.
As always our producer Casey comes to the rescue with any trivia TJ and Tony deem too difficult to google. We hope you dig this episode as much as you dig a pony or a pygmy⊠Naked.

Ep. 275 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9 Part 2
The Untitled Beatles Podcast has done it!
We are Free As A Bird from Disneyâs Beatles Anthology!
There were moments of Real Love; Now And Then. But would the new Episode 9, comprised largely from the 2003 Special Features DVD, provide some Hope Of Deliverance? Would the new episode finally bring T.J. Off The Ground? Is Producer Casey Looking for Changes in how itâs edited? Does Tony simply want Peace in the Neighbourhood, allowing us to enjoy the old and the new? Also, whatâs with all these âOff The Groundâ references, did this weekâs randomly selected writer run out of ideas? WTF, now I Owe It All To You, to explain? Nah, son - Get Out Of My Way. This oneâs called Biker Like An Icon, you Golden Earth Girl, female animal.
So, uh, yeah; do join us as we conclude our deep dish of Episode 9 and also ask:
â Did Mal Evans put copies of Elvis Costelloâs âSpikeâ in the English tea of EMI engineers?
đ· Does the Untitled Beatles Podcast exist without Gus, the Tufts band who later changed their name to Guster, and gave us one of 2003âs greatest hits, âAmsterdamâ?
đ» (Angry Drunk Chicago Guy, heâs super horngry): âHow come Chicago ainât got no improv pizza animatronic kids theater called 'Showbitz Pizza'? And how come I canât legally be near kids no more since I peeâd on that family at Comiskey?"

Ep. 274 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 9
Since itâs a holiday weekend, this episodeâs blurb was written by A.I. (American Intelligents)
Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! And hey America, what better way to celebrate than with an American podcast about the worldâs most famous American group, The Beatles!!
We salute these Beatles American hometowns:
John - Menlove Ave, New York City
Paul - Forthlin Drive, Carolina Shores, NC
George - Wavertree Hall Farm, Virginia
Ringo - Dingle, Idaho
And since The Beatles have been #1 in Americaâs heart since 1776, scientific statisticians - using recent census figures combined with ATV sales and the market price of halibut - have proven that 9 is truly a magical number.
Por ejemplo:
9x4=36
There are 4 Beatles but really there are 36!
So this week the Untitled Beatles Codpiece performs as a throuple (T.J., Tony, and Producer Casey), discussing the 90s era Threetles (9-3=3) in their critique of Disney+ (in association with Good Times Video)âs Beatles Anthology Episode 9. Is it truly worthy of a Revolution?
Hork down a hot dog sandwich in a muenster truck while hurling a beanball at your Mom! Itâs American Independence Day served Beatles-style, made possible only by Calderstone Imperial Musical Enterprises Incorporated. Because the Red Album, White Album and Blue Album = Now and Then Forever. đđ§šđ

Originally aired October 29, 2022
HOLY MOLY IT'S HERE. And Tony and T.J. want to talk about it. Join the Fab Fellas as they go Full Culkinâą on the latest (and perhaps greatest? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!) Super Deluxe Special Edition reissue of the Beatles' groundbreaking 1966 LP "Revolver".
This is just part oneâmore to come once we get to spend some time with the vinyl box set.
-----
Originally aired November 5, 2022
We're back! Our super deluxe vinyl box sets arrived in the mail, and Tony and Teej are ready to dish even deeper on the sparkling new Revolver remixes, bonus tracks, and beautiful accompanying 100-page book.
At least Tony is. T.J. might've taken one too many edibles and spent the week listening to Eddie Murphy's 1993 Motown Records sensation Love's Alright.
TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

Ep. 272 | Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2
Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, âWhere the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes?â Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, âNo Fireman? No interestâ. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, âWhy wonât woke Macca record with current, hit-makinâ patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?â
But here at the UBP, we all adore âThe Boys of Dungeon Laneâ. Side 1 is perhaps Maccaâs finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) âFlowers In The Dirtâ? And How Many People appreciate this reference?
The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask:
đ Is there even such a thing as âmusicâ without the âPhantom Of The Operaâ descending riff?
đš Huey Lewis is to San Francisco what the Grateful Dead is to San Francisco, am I doing this right?
đ My Mayor Johnson
My bagel Jewish
The Beatles are great
Bulls in â98?

Ep. 271 | Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 1
Two forever fab octogenarian knights have both released brand new albums in this, the space age year of 2026. Truly a remarkable achievement.
Meanwhile, two grotty quinquagenarian jagwads attempt to sort through all of the permutations and variations of the latest of these offerings, Sir Paul McCartneyâs The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
These are the Boys of Dumb Dumb Lane.
Throughout this 2-parter they ponder the deep deep feelings (wrong album dumb dumbs) that this platter has to offer. Such as:
đżđŹ Is Boys of Dungeon Lane an album or more of a pop-up merch kiosk at the mall?
đŁđ Did Paulâs secret code with John involve âcatsup disciplineâ?
đđ¶ Will there be more versions of this alb-ATTENTION COLLECTOR SCUM!! BREAKING NEWS!! THIS JUST IN!! 3 new and already-rare limited edition versions of the record are now available:
đđ© Green and White âSeagull Guanoâ swirl with Scratch-n-Sniff âLiverpool Marshâ scented Lyric Tissue

Ep. 270 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 8
Whatâs the worst decision in Beatles history? Some might say itâs Johnâs âbigger than Jesusâ remark, or letting âMagical Mystery Tourâ air in black & white on the BBC. And yet, as decided by the good folks at Disney+/Apple/Calderstone/Zaappderstone, it would appear that the single most egregious moment in Fab history is the original âBeatles Anthology 8â runtime: 81 minutes. 81 minutes? IN THIS ECONOMY?
Fortunately (sfx: buzzer) much like labor laws, voting rights, and pride in this once great nation, Disney's "Beatles Anthology 8" has been drastically reduced. Whatâs survived is typically stunning both visually and musically, plus a few new (in some cases, literally) interviews are a bonus. But what else can this episode teach us about life?
đș Could this episode even survive without the topical/relevant drop, âT-Boneâ, from the James Taylor 1988 offering, âNever Die Youngâ?
đ If Fat Mattress is the best of the ATCO roster of bands, is Mat Fattress ACTOâs biggest act?
đ Do the edits in this episode threaten the long discussed âSgt. Pilcherâs Horny Cops Club Bandâ fundraising calendar featuring hot, corrupt global police officers of the past?

Ep. 269 | Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 7
Greetings, Untitled Beatle Peedles! Itâs a big weekend in Fab History, as arguably the most important link to the Beatles music and ethos just debuted a new release. And itâs all BeatleWorld is talking about.
Thatâs right, the Untitled Beatles Podcast has finally dropped their deep dish of âDisney+ Presents: The Beatles Anthology 7 (Only Make It Shorter)â. This episode covers a seminal year in Beatles lore. And if youâve ever watched the original Anthology and thought, âHmm, cancel the Apple Boutique, itâs too woke!â, then this edit is for YOU!
Tony and T.J. have loved the Beatles for an alarming number of decades, so do you think theyâll finally bring some joy to the Disney Anthology experience? As they said before network TV died (#CBS callback), âstay tuned and find outâ. Because they also ask:
đ Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: âHow come they didnât replace no Greece footage with that Ringo song from Greece 2 about teenage kids gettinâ each other knocked up? Diane plowed my ficus after league night at Marigold Bowl back in â79 and we had some kid I donât see no more? Carl? Gary?â
đ In the revised edition of William J. Dowlingâs Beatlesongs, should Macca get a .04 songwriting credit for âDehra Dunâ?
đŽââ ïž Pick A Raider: Ringo or Tim Brown? And does this force you to finally confront your racial biases?

Ep. 268 | Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live (2026)
For over 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been one of the most Important shows for rock music in the history of the nascent television medium. While, arguably, the most famous moment in the showâs history (and Tonyâs favorite?) is RHCPâs multi-key 1992 version of âUnder The Bridgeâ, there have been others. (Musical Guest The Ting Tings ripping up a photo of Colonel Sanders comes to mind.)
Fortunately, just in time for NBCâs never more relevant, May sweeps season finale of SNL, they pulled in the big guns: RHCP! Oh s**t, Frusciante and Kiedis (LLC) are busy? Maybe (checks notes) Chad Smith is free? Might as well bring in noted Chad Smith lookalike Will Ferrel (âElfâ, Capitol One) to teach Chad how to host the show!
Everyone knows Chad Smithâs best friend is Paul McCartney. So Chad called Sir Paul to see if heâd learn the bass part for the AI generated RHCP songs âFunky California Space Cadetâand âSanta Monica Ding-Dongâ, as onetime Macca drummer Chris Whitten beat Fleaâs ass in Hamburg. Where you ask? Why, under the bridge. When asked for comment, Flea replied, I donât ever wanna feel, like when Chris Whitten kicked my ass.â
Later that week, as longtime Macca drummer Abe Laboriel JR was (Alonzo) mourning young mister Christopherâs legal predicament and unable to travel, Chad Smith had an idea. He could play in Paulâs band! On SNL! The very talented singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson can even sing back-up, and perhaps even âCook Of The Houseâ! And Paul could completely ignore any lame Beatles music during the live, 90 minute broadcast, because nobody wants to hear that junk! (#Motorcars #Handlebars)
Are you still with us? Da f is wrong with you? You already know Tony & T.J. will talk Maccaâs historic SNL performance and also hit you up with such mind benders as:
đ (Angry Chicago Guy. Heâs unwell today in particular): How come I canât go into no pet store no more and longingly whisper to the rodent critters, âbunnyâs too tight to mentionâ? Is it because my ass cheeks are simply red?
đ„ Why didnât Pixiesâ 1999 smash âWhere Is My Mind (Theme To Fight Club, Now A Major Motion Picture)â win an Oscar as the best original song written exclusively for the film âFight Clubâ?
ââ Andrew Watt. Andrew White. Andrew What?

Ep. 267 | NEW PAUL AND RINGO! "Home to Us" (2026)âand Wel-Kum Back Tony!
Whatâs MORE thrilling than sitting through a slide show of your strange friendâs vacation photos?
Answer: LISTENING to the slideshow!
UBP co-host T.J. and UBP Producer Casey welcome back other UBP co-host Tony with all sorts of fab catching up (but no catching up on hot dogs! #chi-town #hotdogetiquette #nobodysezchi-town). They talk Ringo and Paul and then talk Ringo and AI, because you canât spell âRingo and Paulâ without âAIâ. Plus they have a row over 3 Saville Row.
They also ask:
đ Is Record Store Day to record collectors what St. Patrickâs Day is to alcoholics?
𧻠If you say Twotles two times into a mirror, do you really experience and uncontrollable #2?
đ» Wait. What happened to Producer Casey? He just disappeared. Is he okay? Did he get into a tragic accident?? Will he be replaced by an uncanny look-a-like made by an AI 3D printer??? #44IF⊠Or is this just another case of Millennial ghosting?
