We dive back into Beatles for Sale by talking about the Beatles stomp and clap connection, the clear ties between Beatles covers and LeBron signing to the 76ers, the Lennon / Claypool Delirium, Beatles branding, frozen pizza sponsorships for Blotto Beatles, getting Taco Bell by mistake, if Tommy should wear Nantucket red pants to an upcoming wedding, and our thoughts of the new McCartney record with the greatest Paulfessional, Mr. Sam Whiles....so we didn't really talk Beatles for Sale at all.  But we did eventually get to talk about the medley Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey and the two things Paul did better than John.As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us ([email protected]), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).  We want to hear from you!Please also take the time to rate and review us on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.We have a shop!  Grab some merch.  You can always drunk dial us at 1.857.233.9793 to share your thoughts, feedback, confessions, and concerns to be featured in an upcoming episode.

We uncover the real story behind Paul's stolen bass before we dive into hippie phases, mens' bootcut jeans and chunky necklaces, giving the Doors a chance, celebrating the Beatles' mistakes, being a cameo in the Springsteen biopic, Springsteen in spandex, Paul slagging on Dylan, Sitar Center, and the harmonium-backed "The Word."  And we do it all with the talented and wise Sam Popkin.As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us ([email protected]), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).  We want to hear from you!Please also take the time to rate and review us on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.We have a shop!  Grab some merch.  You can always drunk dial us at 1.857.233.9793 to share your thoughts, feedback, confessions, and concerns to be featured in an upcoming episode.
