Ep. 101a | Deep Dish: The Music of 1982 Part 1
This week T.J. and Tony are rising up and back on the streets, basking in the glory that is The Year MCMLXXXII (or for laypeople, 1982). The gruesome nineteen-eighty-twosome reach out and grab their favorite moments from The Beatles Reel Music, Paul’s Tug of War, and Elton John’s tribute to John Lennon. Plus enough 80s tangents to give your silver spoons Pac-Man Fever.
As always, they ask the tough fab questions, such as:
🤖 Who said “Toti mundo nati” better?
Paul, Mork, or Mr. Roboto?
🕺🏻 Would “Ballroom Dancing” have been a stronger B-side for the Grease 2 non-hit “Back To School Again”?
𐄍 Does Tony hear Stevie Nicks’ signature rocker as “Edge of Seven”?
Plus an Untitled Beatles Podcast Exclusive: Producer Casey’s 40th Anniversary Remix of “The Beatles Movie Medley”.
It’s jammin' on the 2…1982 that is…

T.J. 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.
Ep. 86 | Beatles Valentimes: Songs for Significant Others Part 1
Would you look at that? It’s almost Valentimes Day! Better run to CVS or lastminutegiftcarddepot.oops and show that special someone how much you care. Or, better yet, you could write your lover song after song after song that will forever stand the test of time and be meaningful to millions all over the world? I mean John, Paul, & George did it, why can’t you? #FailureAlert
With so much love in the air, Tony & T.J. look at some of their favorite songs inspired by The Beatles significant others. Along the way, their hearts explode with these hot topics/wet seals:
🏄♂️ Who was more in love with baby Linda Eastman: Jan or Dean?
⚾️ If “Shipoopi” played baseball, would it bat in two or three hole?
🛋 Is Paul’s longtime keyboard player actually a defunct furniture superstore?

Ep. 81 | Wings’ Wild Life 50th Anniversary (1971)
Is any solo Paul and/or Wings album as controversial as “Wild Life”? (OK, fine, we see you, “Standing Stone”.) In (gently belated) honor of its 50th anniversary, Tony and T.J. kick off 2022 with a “Wild Life”-off, and debate the highs and lows of one of Macca’s most polarizing and #ekaturkel albums. Along the way, the Whatever Happened Two discuss:
🤖 Is Huey Lewis’s jazz-adjacent LP “Small World” fantastic, or merely made of plastic? Maybe Vicki knows?
🏊🏻♂️ Are early 70’s, indulgent rock guitar solos the original “Baywatch”?
🚽Was Sir Paul feelin’ alright while recording “Mumbo” because he was giving his regards to brown street at the time?
Whether you love or hate this record, one thing is for sure: it’s a classic for Thanksgiving smoochin’. Dear friends, spill the wine! Leave us an inebriated New Years Day review and like & subscribe here. And please join us for “Twitch & Shout”, live Tuesdays at 6pm CT on twitch.tv/chicago4real
Ep. 64 | McCartney 3,2,1 (2021) Part 3
What type of Macca apprecionado are you… a “Live and Let Die”-harder, a casual “Maybe I’m Amazed” fair-weather type, or an ironically distanced, “Check My Machine” troll?
In this, the final installment of our “McCartney 3,2,1” deep dish, T.J. and Tony discuss episodes 4, 5, and 6 of Rick Rubin’s “Hulu and chill” with Sir Paul, covering both his modern standards and less-celebrated obscurities.
Chock-full of Beatle conspiracies and high noon standoffs, this episode will have you wondering:
Which hit 80s sitcom theme did Julian Lennon secretly sing?
How much did T.J. pay for a Spanish copy of McCartney’s Unplugged LP at Sound Warehouse in June of 1991?
Did Hulu use AI to make Paul sing “Got My Mind Set On You”?
Polish your anvil and set your Moogs to fab, this episode is worthy of the Sledge-O-Matic!

Ep. 63 | McCartney 3,2,1 (2021) Part 2
The 3,2,1 saga continues...
In this episode T.J. and Tony go over the recent Hulu 6-part docuseries "McCartney 3,2,1" with a fine-toothed comb, in which "Shoeless" Rick Rubin explores Sir Paul's 20th century catalogue with the precision of a pedicure cuticle nipper. #wikifeet/RickRubin
In this bonus mid-week splash, we'll deep dish on Episodes 2 and 3, with enough nostalgia to feed your inner-Curt Claudio, plus:
T.J. plays his favorite chillwave song
Tony becomes the new Al Sharpton
And a deleted scene from Space Jam 2.

Ep. 62 | McCartney 3,2,1 (2021) Part 1
Like most Macca productions, this one hasn’t gotten a lot of publicity, but didja hear that all six episodes of "McCartney 3,2,1" recently dropped on Hulu? Legendary music producer/everyone’s favorite uninvited Tittenhurst house guest, Rick Rubin, interviews Sir Paul on some of the most important - and, sometimes, completely random- tracks he ever recorded in his unmatched career. So check your (podcast) machine and get ready for a look at the background of this incredibly satisfying love-fest from M.P.L. and co. It’s a little like Paul’s version of "The Last Dance," though "3,2,1" shamefully omits any interviews with B.J. Armstrong, the 271st Beatle. It’s the film’s one big flaw.
We’ll deep dish on Episodes 2-6 next week; but in this week's show, we’ll tackle Episode 1, plus all the pressing topics real Beatles fans are dying to know, like:
Why does classic rock radio continually ignore the Steely Dan/Led Zeppelin collab?
Does Producer Casey do a killer version of “Crease Lightning”, from the hit RSO motion picture, “Crease”?
And can a kid be a kid at both Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese? Or is there regional bias at play?
Be forewarned, spoilers abound, both about "3,2,1" and also Run D.M.C.'s 1988 film "Tougher Than Leather." Please send all angry e-mails, both about this and your life-in general, to Tony, also known as Producer Casey.

Ep. 59 | Deep Dish: RAM (1971) 50th Anniversary Part 2
Our RAM 50th Anniversary Deep Dish Part 2 is finally here! Whether remastered, half speed mastered, mono mastered, or mastered-mastered, RAM is top-flight Macca and and a near-perfect listen. Tony and T.J. pick-up with Paul’s first U.S. #1 single (no, not “Back in Brazil”) and take us through the Archive Collection bonus tracks. They also find time to address:
Tony’s love of the lovely, long haired lady, Linda McCartney
Why nothing inspires confidence quite like 1980’s deodorant commercials
And which is better: Damn Yankees, the baseball musical, or Damn Yankees, the Nugent-fronted “supergroup”?
If you love this record (and who doesn’t?), you’ll love this episode. We believe that we can’t be wrong!

Ep. 57 | Deep Dish: RAM (1971) 50th Anniversary Part 1
1970-71 was a prolific period for Beatles solo releases, and so last month we were blessed with yet another 50th anniversary edition of an iconic album: Paul and Linda McCartney's RAM. Tony and T.J. use the occasion to deep dish their favorite solo Paul work. And while they're at it:
T.J. and Tony reminisce about their old radio days and the technological marvel of audio cartridges
Tony does his best Magic Alex impression, explaining the technological marvel of half-speed mastering.
And the guys debate whether "Too Many People" can knock off "Motor of Love" and "Ou Est Le Soleil" for the top spot on the all-time greatest solo Paul charts
As usual, there's a lot of great music to talk about, so this one's going to be a two-parter. And also as usual, there might be a little bit of salty language. Though T.J. insists he's just saying "piece of cake."

Ep. 49 | Give My Regards to Broad Street (Film Review)
At long last, T.J. and Tony review Sir Paul's magnum opus: Give My Regards to Broad Street. Starring and written by Paul McCartney, the 1984 movie was panned by critics and audiences alike, but brought us some of Paul's best music of the decade ("No More Lonely Nights"), and some of his worst remakes of his best music from decades past (lookin' at you, "Long and Winding Road").
This long and rambling podcast leads to all the usual goofs and giggles, and—as far as we're able to ascertain—what we believe to be the first reference to the theme music from NBC's "The Days & Nights of Molly Dodd" in podcasting history. And what movie review is complete without also covering the Commodore 64 video game adaptation?
Movie viewing recommended (you might be able to find it on YouTube), but certainly not required. Good times guaranteed either way, or your money back.
