How do we start our septuagennial episode?  With a BLOTTO BEATLES EXCLUSIVE!

We then jump into the episode proper with Tommy's new catch phrase, some listener homework, Scotty C never skipping hands day, Irish Budweisers, another amazing example of RB breaking down rock and roll patterns, Tommy saying the word "standard" about 400 times, Becker telling us the favorite songs of each William, Tommy singing every song with the lyric "I Will," and the rhumba-inspired White Album standard, I Will.

Did you all know there's a NEW Beatles song?
Did you know it's the LAST Beatles song?
Did you know it was originally recorded to a CASSETTE tape?

You did?

Well, we wanted to talk about it, and we wanted to do it with some of our best pod pals. Listen in as we are joined by Allison from BC the Beatles and Jonathan from Ranking the Beatles as we dig into "Now & Then," it's humble beginnings and futuristic endings, the music video, the remixed "Love Me Do," that artwork, and which member of the 1992 Dream Team Tommy most resembles.  It's a fun one!

Team Blotto dives into episode 70 by discussing one of the biggest Beatles conspiracy theories, a ranking of all the Toms, a hang with Ranking the Beatles, our new bud and guest Chris Webre, being the fat member of Voltron, alligators, a specific television show that was popular in the 90s, and the rebel-focused Bad Boy.

It says it right on the tin, people.  Pushkin Media reached out to us and asked if we would be interested in hearing a preview episode of the brand new "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics" podcast, which was just released today, October 4, 2023.  What you will hear within this episode are the Blotto reactions to the first episode, which focuses on "Eleanor Rigby," followed by the McCartney episode, in full.

Listen here, and then make sure to subscribe to this newcomer to Beatles Podcasting - we really think he's got something.

Without further ado, Blotto Beatles Present: "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics."  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Episode 68 begins with some AI shenanigans before we jump right into discussion with our guest, and the host of the incomparable "Paul or Nothing" podcast, Mr. Sam Whiles;  whether it would be more appropriate to tickle Paul McCartney or blow him a kiss; Hot Take Tommy; Sam feeling as if we gave him a throwaway track; Macca's new podcast; theories on the new Beatles track; carrying on the traditions of our parents; and the fantasy of "There's a Place."

We pop the cork on our 67th episode with our earliest Magical Mystery Word, the famous moment when George Harrison brought some friends to the home of his dentist, the reintroduction of Brother Pat, Pat's recap of Wrestlemania, a fan call, a piecing together of our memories from the Blost Weekend, the first installment of our new segment Rocky Rankcoon, if it's harder to be funny or Ernest, the original title of the Dropkick Murphy's "Shipping Out to Boston," and the Clapton-inspired "Savoy Truffle."

We conclude our second annual Blost Weekend by discussing Ringo's short lived soccer career, the most popular Blotto by way of the call-in line, a handsome Tommy minotaur, Colin as a consummate mixologist, Colin's first Malort experience, AI cocktails, the Beatles PJ pant-wearing era, lots more DMB than any of us expected, and the fight inspired Rubber Soul track, "I'm Looking Through You."

We also talk about a specific YouTube video a lot - please check out "Why Is This Beatles Song So Messy?" to hear some of the specific points we get into.
