We begin our octogenarian episode with Tommy's artistic expression of his anger towards Becker before we record an intro in arrears, featuring the magic of our new THX (or THC) bumper.   And then, friends, 80 is a big number, and we are doing a big song with a big guest!  We welcome Mr. Victor DeLorenzo of the Violent Femmes to discuss what some would consider to be the most popular Beatles song.  Victor was kind enough to give us the time to talk about his work in one of the most important alternative bands of all time before we discuss one of the most important works of the Fab Four.  Where will we rank it?  There's only one way to find out.

We get ambushed by an AI Tommy intro before the real one takes us into the world of Ringo's haberdashery.  From there we do the work of fighting against those who say we aren't drinking enough on air, discussing what we would do with a billion dollars, thinking about Rick Rubin as the zen master of mixologists for your Blottos, listening to some more voicemails from listeners, considering the Dad rock of The Beatles, fighting about street level vs. collegiate Beatles, hiring the therapist from Some Kind of Monster, introducing our new listener suggested Let It Pee segment, and a big one in Beatles material, Can't Buy Me Love.

Baby, it's time to crack into episode 78 where your Blottos discuss the infamous Cameron Crowe/Beatles connections, the amazing influence of our guest Skylar Moody, feeling on the new Beatles films, feelings on Timothy Chalamet, a record number of calls from fans, a surprise drop in from Beatles podcasting royalty talking about the Queen Bee's cover of Blackbird, wearing a "What Would Jonathan Do?" bracelet, getting the Beatles couches, mispronouncing Clavioline, and the ballad of the hippy movement, "Baby, You're a Rich Man."

Episode 77 starts with a dive into Ringo's role as the original Beatle to bring Indian music to the band before we discuss breweries appropriating rockstars visages, teaching Scotty how to drink beer from a bottle, THC beverages, Cheech as the go-getter of the duo, when the Beatles were all by themselves, probably a little too much Jawbreaker talk, RB throwing a middle eight in to make a Beatles song better, Scotty coming out late with this a sleeper fave, and the questionable Ringo sung "What Goes On."

We kick into the last quarter of our first century of episodes with a deep discussion of reprises, especially as they relate to SOAD jerks.  We then record an INTRO IN ARREARS before introducing true pod royalty in our guest Alex Goldman, taking Alex on a journey that includes a serious discussion of pronunciation, the worst Tweets of 2023, Alex's music Slow Fawns, The Beastie Boys, a lot about A Day in the Life, iconic 1-2-3-4s, the strange connections between podcast producers, and the end of the concept with an analysis of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band - Reprise.

It says it on the tin, people.  Your dear Blottos went to the 50th annual Fest for Beatles Fans, held this year at the TWA Hotel at JFK Airpot - the very same airport where the Beatles landed 60 years ago.  MARVEL! as we reflect on our experience.  THRILL! as we play field recordings and interviews.  GUFFAW! as we have a few yucks and discuss who ended up on stage with all the performers to end the night.

We hit episode 75 by hitting that place in the Venn diagram where Beatles fans meet Nathan Fielder fans.  From there we discuss our own version of our Spotify Wrapped for the year, our Beatles-themed Air BnB, a critical review of the Apple TV John Lennon doc with all its Unsolved Mystery feels, the origin of "The Wo," The Beatles down under phase, a review and update of the Mystery Word bylaws, and the Revolver-era, pill-based song Dr. Robert.

We take the big leap into Episode 74 with a listen to some communal chants before we record an intro in arrears, remind listeners of ClarisWorks, introduce the incomparable Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the United States of America and Casper Babypants, revel in Chris' amazing rock and roll journey, make mistakes about the life of Jimmy Nicols, play songs that make little kids do a creepy dance, question why sitar masters don't just get a Snark tuner, learn about the health benefits of local bone broths from local chickens, learn the truth about Chris’ favorite canned fruit, and discover the beauty of the George Harrison penned/hummed "Within You Without You."

We ask you to bear with us as we begin this episode with our bylaw approved quarterly staff meeting.  From there we remind everyone that we were early on the Mal train, dig into our single album White Album tracks and titles, differentiate between Pee Wee Herman and the Marx Brothers, question the Outbreak Monkey of Beatles for Sale, question an instrumental verse several times, explicate bays of hale, marvel at RB's Bowie connection to this song, invent snants (TM), and discuss the rose colored glasses of "Words of Love."
