Episode 36 begins by recalling the failed Beatles Zoom call from ‘74, Let It Be fever,  Tommy’s abbreves, Scotty talking about his Anthony Kiedis hands, a recap of all prestige TV,  and Tommy being Scotty, as we returns to Rubber Soul (not “Rub Her Feet”) with a discussion of the —apparently Paul McCartney, HELP-era — “Wait.”

It's episode 35 and we kick it into high gear by discussing that famous Beatles-Canada collab, the second best second place victory of all time, Pauly and Rocky's robot, how many Beatles podcasts there are, our absurd stupidity as a compliment, the introduction of our friend Tim Clark, Scotty's use of primal scream therapy as a sleep aide, the Beatles Village Green Submarine, the difference between a luthier and a Lutheran, our extra special guests in Mr. Big, what we offer in terms of craft service to our guests, and the feedback-introduced "It's All Too Much."

Episode 34 kicks off with the announcement of a new Beatles-related Peter Jackson film (but not THAT one), our wonderful guest Kit O'Toole, The Ringo Carr, Becker trying an impression, what Scotty thinks heaven looks like, when Paul just wore that one glove, a play-by-play of Kit Moonwalking around the Zoom room, and the Quarrymen-era song "One After 909."

Episode 32 marks not only the day that Ringo's appreciation for hot dogs got in the way of enlightenment but also our discussion of in-person episodes having too much eye contact, the great beers of Devil's Purse brewery with Devil's Purse brewers Mike and Tim, what it's like recording in a brewery, friendship based on hating the same things, making fun of people who mispronounce the beers of Devil's Purse, Tommy mispronouncing all the beers of Devil's Purse, the Beatles surf rock era, Mike Love as history's greatest villain, Mike Love listening to the Beatles and Donovan hanging while cry singing "In My Room," some great whiskey from listener Seth, the potential for sleeping at a brewery, Beatles flat earthers, the potential for a Paul solo record of all White Album songs, and the experimental McCartney song "Wild Honey Pie."

Episode 31 breaks down the story of the originally intended title of "Beatles for Sale," the BFSAND,  another A-PAUL-OGY, when the Beatles set their guitars on fire, bands we like that no one else does, the first "The Word" segment in a long while, people being desperate for something in life with no further explanation, some mail including misunderstandings with Pete G. that we clear up, revisiting the Lick Five, the earliest songs from John and Paul, Tommy saying the word "but" a million times, a weak sauce solo, Becker's first day at the Beatles factory, if it's a good idea to have the third verse same as the first, and the teenage-inspired Paul song "I'll Follow the Sun.

Episode 30 begins with discussion of Dr. Kiedes' wordsmithery, who is Riggs and who is Murtaugh in the Blotto Beatles host chairs, if we are too old to discuss what is cheugy, if Garfield is cheugy, the introduction of Brother Pat, learning about the Beatles at sensitive points of your formative years, brothers saying or not saying they love each other, getting off schedule when we can get back with each other, John Lennon's fake bayou accent, the worst guitars in rock, the introduction of The Lick 5, a reminder of our restaurant franchise "Margarita Town," how Scotty plays the cowbell just like Ringo, when early Lennon may have a deeper meaning than initially imagined, and the ska-influenced "I Call Your Name."

Episode 29 kicks off with the incendiary release of the Clapton Audio, our first call for a cease and desist on the reboot of the Noid,  a revisit of how Bukowski felt about the Beatles,  some Fathers' Day well wishes, the introduction of our guest and good friend RB, the weirdness of coming into the Beatles with Help! and Abbey Road on the same day, the heavy lifting of RB and Scotty recreating Beatles karaoke tracks from scratch, the Beatles affinity for NPR dad rock, the decree that Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is pretty darn good, the sneak peak of our new pod side project A FREEHOLD COMPANION, if it's pronounced Moog or Mogue, having your tonsils removed, if anyone actually has 120 joints at one time, the $1000 version of ALL THINGS MUST PASS, if you get a free birdhouse with that version, how big a swimming pool Dhani Harrison wants, Becker and Ringo's Gilligan/Skipper relationship, the announcement of the word GUITAROMONY as an evergreen Magical Mystery Word, how a song from 1969 can have real and lasting effects on a post pandemic world, and the seasonally-inspired "Here Comes the Sun."

We kick into episode 28 with a review of John Lennon's third book, the many pneumatic tubes at Blotto HQ, the end of the pandi, EP Scotty C's collection of speedos, our favorite authors, another instance when the sequel is better than the original, keeping your gerbils safe, the Beatles penchant for trains and Toblerone-shaped music players, making guitarmony an evergreen mystery word, an A-Paul-ogy, Tommy's discomfort with swearing when his uncle is listening, the Monkees chasing each other through hallways, the Dear John theme song, Eminem spoilers, and the song that probably inspired Charles Bukowski to put pen to paper, Paperback Writer.
