If ever a Paul song fit the oft-used descriptor of “jaunty,” it’s “Good Day Sunshine.” A tune written during the Revolver sessions, it’s one of the sunnier moments on an album that sees a bit of a darker side of the Beatles than we’d seen before. It’s maybe not the weightiest thing he’s ever done, but it’s amazing how Paul has the ability to soundtrack human emotions so easily; the song really has the bounce and light and fun of new love and a beautiful day. It’s the part of the ying and yang, the light and dark that make the Beatles so successful.

Joining us this week is comedian, actor, author, and now Emmy winning-producer Wayne Federman. Wayne is the producer of the documentary George Carlin’s American Dream,”which recently won the 2022 Emmy for Outstanding Documentary. He’s also the the author of the book The History of Standup: From Mark Twain to Dave Chapelle, was the head monologue writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and has popped up in a long list of movies and tv shows that you’ve definitely seen. We chat with Wayne about being a Ringo stan, the value of the Beatles brand comedy, musical DNA between songs, song inspiration, and much much more!
