Blotto Beatles

In episode 11 we start by uncharacteristically discussing some serious stuff before diving into the new Dischord Records reissue, Scotty's second beer, that time John bit the head off a bat, Marty McFly's real name, a new A-Paul-ogy, whether the Magical Mystery Tour is an EP or an LP, and the fictional song "Fool on the Hill."

In episode ten we discuss that famous Ohian rock establishment, that it's actually a big deal for us to get to episode ten of this pod, our first official partnership, how cool it is to get free beer, EP Scotty C's shocking revelation, the punk rock side of the Beatles, if HELP! or RUBBER SOUL is the dividing line between early and late period, how important Ringo is, how cool it is to have your friends bring out the best in you, and the final cover song the Beatles committed to tape with the Buck Owens country song, "Act Naturally."

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.

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.
