Ep. 32 | Deep Dish: McCartney (1970)

The first in a series of the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s exploration of the “McCartney” albums kicks off with the cute one’s 1970 solo debut.

TJ and Tony make a case for its greatness and its weakness in the context of other solo Beatle ventures that year while revealing which Breakfast Club members they most identified with.

Also, what if Lady Madonna and The Fool On The Hill had made it?

Meanwhile a random Joe Jackson reference unwittingly unlocks a turbulent used car memory for Tony in the California desert of the 90s, and TJ ponders an incontinent Rocky Raccoon.

It should also be noted that Don Mattingly bats left/throws left.

Q: Is this a Beatles podcast or Gen X pop culture therapy?

A: It's both.

Ep. 18 | Chaos and Creation in the Backyard (2005)

TJ and Tony explore Macca’s very solo Nigel Godrich produced 2005 album, including B-sides, his collaboration with George Michael and the BBC special filmed live at Abbey Road.

Scattered throughout, Tony talks of teenage revenge against Joe Piscopo, TJ pops off on John Popper, and several cultural clashes are  addressed: Huddle House vs. Luby's Cafeteria, Fannie May Meltaways vs. Frango Mints, and Condos vs. Bongs. 

Plus, TJ and Tony talk Beatles-as-travel-anxiety-salve, and are peer-pressured into divulging their top 3 Macca solo records...at least their favorites on that particular day.

Ep. 7 | Happy 78th, Macca!

TJ and Tony profess their love for Sir Paul, celebrating their five favorite post-Beatles McCartney songs while contemplating future nuptials. It's 60+ minutes of fuzzy feels and fuzzy math.
