We begin by reviewing Tommy's Beatles fortune cookies before we read some fan mail; offer an a-PAUL-ogy, Becker's Papa's feelings on our weak ability to crack nuts and Tommy in general; Tommy's feelings on Papa's inability to restart a modem; our amazing guest and punk rock stalwart, Mikey Erg; recording records with Steve Albini; mastering records at Abbey Road; missed connections with Robert Plant and Giles Martin; pubs in the basement of Abbey Road; bullying Donovan; homework from Jeff Tweedy; RB blowing our minds, as usual; Tommy bringing up Shakespeare...again; and the royally-themed White Album gem, "Cry Baby Cry."

Make sure to check out Mikey's new record, Love at Leeds! Need one song as a starting place?  Mikey suggests "Almost Like Judee Still."

Your Blottos start by reviewing this year's Chop Hall entrants, gifts from friends, Tommy's creepy kid chair, talking brothers, our guest Brother Bryan, Beatles Brunch vs. Lemmy Lunch, discovering that your brother is a kleptomaniac, Becker's Beautiful Taxes, our guest bringing a competing soundboard, making comparisons because of our experience with Guitar Hero, our best Boyz II Men impressions, and the bark-infused "Hey Bulldog."

UPDATE: We had a sync error partway through the episode and uploaded a new version. If you are a subscriber, you may need to download again to get this newer version.

Episode 53 finds those Blotto boys together again and up to the same old shenanigans. While we've conquered the world of inebriated Beatles broadcasting, we are excited to announce our next endeavor - Blotto Beatles: The Podcast - A Musical. Enjoy the teaser of what's to come (if I know Tommy and a bit, there's more to come...).

After that, the fellas get into a Prince-ly discussion about the Fabulous Four, before diving into the seemingly dashed-off and rhyme-y John jam "It's Only Love". Maybe no one is amazed by this tune, but you know we'll find something to talk about. Meanwhile, the question persists, Is it a rhyme if you are matching up to the same word?

Thanks for listening.

Episode 52 begins with a discussion of how we would NEVER consider using a producer other than Scotty C, a discussion of new snacks sent by listeners, hibachi experiences, pros and cons of podcast banter, the introduction of our guests Phoebe and Daphne from the amazing Another Kind of Mind, growing up on the Beatles with and without the internet, Tommy's alter ego Tom Cruise, John's hamster tube house, Paul with his trousers rolled up, and the earthy "Mother Nature's Son."

We begin the road to episode 100 with a review of the new episode of our favorite other podcast, THE SACRED HARP; reminiscing on champers getting to our head; an update on our recent lack of international or American snacks; the introduction of our amazing guest, Kara; whether it's harder to borrow sugar from or hide a gun for your neighbor; going Monkees to Beatles; true stories of David Bowie on a treadmill; disappointing celebrity trainers; songs that can be both personal and universal; and the religiously-tinged classic, "Let It Be."

Our Dear Blotto Scruffs and fellow Quinquagenarians,

It's episode 50!  We celebrate this momentous occasion by discussing the time Ringo auditioned for the sitcom that told the story of the 90s, clip shows, RB as Benjamin Button, the number of hangovers for your beloved Blottos, many champagne flute toasts, RECORD SCRATCH, retelling the story of the Beatles in 60 seconds, Banksy coming on the pod, Hot Becker's Hot Takes, the return of Scotty's Nut Corner, and the American B-side, "From Me to You."

We approach our half century mark with an early mystery word, some Game of Thrones/Beatles talk, Becker's best Robin Williams, a little more shilling to Powers Irish Whiskey, that Beatles documentary where John wore a huge suit the whole time, our commitment to no longer saying "the pyick," infantilizing your partner, the return of our segment "Becker Offers Dating Advice," old dudes figuring out what BAE means, and our pumped take on "Little Child."

We come in strong after a little bit of a summer respite with some timely Top Gun rumors, Scotty's specter, RB's Vermonting score, taking boats to see Deer Tick, the Blottos getting down at an actual dance club, Becker's thesis that we all have the epic experiences of our favorite writers, Scotty's homemade wine, that time Ringo hung those two balls from his pants during a photo shoot, your partner asking you to keep their love a secret as a giant red flag, and the Disney-inspired "Do You Want to Know a Secret?"

Episode 47 begins year three of Team Blotto's project, so we start with the release of two new t-shirts that management told us would sell like hotcakes.  From there, we get into it with our amazing guest Caleb Nichols who discussed his new album/rock operetta, Ramon, describe as " the experience of a micro-mushroom-dosed pizza for your gay date night with the magnesium/iron combo of queer comedy and tragedy"; the idea of queering the Beatles; a wine buyer's opinion on box wine; pretending wine is kombucha while working heavy machinery; what makes a rock opera;  the artistic merit of fan fiction; creating a mythology for groups who were never allowed to have on;  Brian Epstein as a hero; Caleb making us realize that Paul's pseudonym, "Ramon," is just a play on his song title, "Ram On," and the lovable rocker, "Boys."

It's the second annual BLOTTO VETOES SPECTACULAR!  We celebrate our second poddiversary by each selecting one song from our canonical list of Beatles songs from best to worst and trying to convince the other Blottos of its rightful placement.  Will Scotty win two in a row?  Will RB come in like a young buck and stir it up?  Will Tommy be snubbed on votes for a second year?  Will Becker be mad the the Scruffs clearly agree with Tommy?  Listen and find out!

Oh, and we also saw Paul McCartney and chat about that.
