  1. Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2

    Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 2

    Consensus on the new Paul McCartney album has, to say the least, been mixed. Classical Bi-Monthly writes, “Where the f are the Liverpool Oratorio outtakes”? Dance Tuesdays proclaimed, “No Fireman? No interest”. And MAGA Monthly pouts with vitriol, “Why won’t woke Macca record with current, hit-makin’ patriots like Vanilla Ice, Lee Greenwood, or Chachi?” But here at the UBP, we all adore “The Boys of Dungeon Lane”. Side 1 is perhaps Macca’s finest slab of wax. But what about Side 2? Is this where the patented Macca Fillers creep in? Or is Side 2 on par with the UNIFORMLY BELOVED (#TakeItTony) “Flowers In The Dirt”? And How Many People appreciate this reference? The guys continue to break-down this historic release - now available in its 700th vinyl iteration - and also ask: 🎭 Is there even such a thing as “music” without the “Phantom Of The Opera” descending riff? 🔨 Huey Lewis is to San Francisco what the Grateful Dead is to San Francisco, am I doing this right? 🐂 My Mayor Johnson My bagel Jewish The Beatles are great Bulls in ’98?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

    Paul McCartney's "The Boys of Dungeon Lane" (2026) Part 1

    Two forever fab octogenarian knights have both released brand new albums in this, the space age year of 2026. Truly a remarkable achievement. Meanwhile, two grotty quinquagenarian jagwads attempt to sort through all of the permutations and variations of the latest of these offerings, Sir Paul McCartney’s The Boys of Dungeon Lane. These are the Boys of Dumb Dumb Lane. Throughout this 2-parter they ponder the deep deep feelings (wrong album dumb dumbs) that this platter has to offer. Such as: 💿🏬 Is Boys of Dungeon Lane an album or more of a pop-up merch kiosk at the mall? 🔣🍅 Did Paul’s secret code with John involve “catsup discipline”? 📀🎶 Will there be more versions of this alb-ATTENTION COLLECTOR SCUM!!

    Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 8

    What’s the worst decision in Beatles history? Some might say it’s John’s “bigger than Jesus” remark, or letting “Magical Mystery Tour” air in black & white on the BBC. And yet, as decided by the good folks at Disney+/Apple/Calderstone/Zaappderstone, it would appear that the single most egregious moment in Fab history is the original “Beatles Anthology 8” runtime: 81 minutes. 81 minutes? IN THIS ECONOMY?  Fortunately (sfx: buzzer) much like labor laws, voting rights, and pride in this once great nation, Disney's "Beatles Anthology 8" has been drastically reduced. What’s survived is typically stunning both visually and musically, plus a few new (in some cases, literally) interviews are a bonus. But what else can this episode teach us about life?  🐺 Could this episode even survive without the topical/relevant drop, “T-Bone”, from the James Taylor 1988 offering, “Never Die Young”?  🍔 If Fat Mattress is the best of the ATCO roster of bands, is Mat Fattress ACTO’s biggest act?  🚔 Do the edits in this episode threaten the long discussed “Sgt. Pilcher’s Horny Cops Club Band” fundraising calendar featuring hot, corrupt global police officers of the past?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

    Beatles Anthology 2025 Episode 7

    Greetings, Untitled Beatle Peedles! It’s a big weekend in Fab History, as arguably the most important link to the Beatles music and ethos just debuted a new release. And it’s all BeatleWorld is talking about. That’s right, the Untitled Beatles Podcast has finally dropped their deep dish of “Disney+ Presents: The Beatles Anthology 7 (Only Make It Shorter)”. This episode covers a seminal year in Beatles lore. And if you’ve ever watched the original Anthology and thought, “Hmm, cancel the Apple Boutique, it’s too woke!”, then this edit is for YOU! Tony and T.J. have loved the Beatles for an alarming number of decades, so do you think they’ll finally bring some joy to the Disney Anthology experience? As they said before network TV died (#CBS callback), “stay tuned and find out”. Because they also ask: 🐝 Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: “How come they didn’t replace no Greece footage with that Ringo song from Greece 2 about teenage kids gettin’ each other knocked up? Diane plowed my ficus after league night at Marigold Bowl back in ’79 and we had some kid I don’t see no more? Carl? Gary?” 🕉 In the revised edition of William J. Dowling’s Beatlesongs, should Macca get a .04 songwriting credit for "Dehra Dun"? 🏴‍☠️ Pick A Raider: Ringo or Tim Brown? And does this force you to finally confront your racial biases?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.

  5. Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live (2026)

    Paul McCartney on Saturday Night Live (2026)

    For over 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been one of the most Important shows for rock music in the history of the nascent television medium. While, arguably, the most famous moment in the show’s history (and Tony’s favorite?) is RHCP’s multi-key 1992 version of “Under The Bridge”, there have been others. (Musical Guest The Ting Tings ripping up a photo of Colonel Sanders comes to mind.) Fortunately, just in time for NBC’s never more relevant, May sweeps season finale of SNL, they pulled in the big guns: RHCP! Oh s**t, Frusciante and Kiedis (LLC) are busy? Maybe (checks notes) Chad Smith is free? Might as well bring in noted Chad Smith lookalike Will Ferrel (“Elf”, Capitol One) to teach Chad how to host the show! Everyone knows Chad Smith’s best friend is Paul McCartney. So Chad called Sir Paul to see if he’d learn the bass part for the AI generated RHCP songs “Funky California Space Cadet” and “Santa Monica Ding-Dong”, as onetime Macca drummer Chris Whitten beat Flea’s ass in Hamburg. Where you ask? Why, under the bridge. When asked for comment, Flea replied, I don’t ever wanna feel, like when Chris Whitten kicked my ass.” Later that week, as longtime Macca drummer Abe Laboriel JR was (Alonzo) mourning young mister Christopher’s legal predicament and unable to travel, Chad Smith had an idea. He could play in Paul’s band! On SNL! The very talented singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson can even sing back-up, and perhaps even “Cook Of The House”! And Paul could completely ignore any lame Beatles music during the live, 90 minute broadcast, because nobody wants to hear that junk! (#Motorcars #Handlebars) Are you still with us? Da f is wrong with you? You already know Tony & T.J. will talk Macca’s historic SNL performance and also hit you up with such mind benders as: 🐇 (Angry Chicago Guy. He’s unwell today in particular): How come I can’t go into no pet store no more and longingly whisper to the rodent critters, “bunny’s too tight to mention”? Is it because my ass cheeks are simply red? 🥊 Why didn’t Pixies’ 1999 smash “Where Is My Mind (Theme To Fight Club, Now A Major Motion Picture)” win an Oscar as the best original song written exclusively for the film “Fight Club”? ❗❓ Andrew Watt.

    NEW PAUL AND RINGO! "Home to Us" (2026) -- and Wel-Kum Back Tony!

    What’s MORE thrilling than sitting through a slide show of your strange friend’s vacation photos? Answer: LISTENING to the slideshow! UBP co-host T.J. and UBP Producer Casey welcome back other UBP co-host Tony with all sorts of fab catching up (but no catching up on hot dogs! #chi-town #hotdogetiquette #nobodysezchi-town). They talk Ringo and Paul and then talk Ringo and AI, because you can’t spell “Ringo and Paul” without “AI”. Plus they have a row over 3 Saville Row. They also ask: 🍀 Is Record Store Day to record collectors what St. Patrick’s Day is to alcoholics? 🧻 If you say Twotles two times into a mirror, do you really experience and uncontrollable #2? 👻 Wait. What happened to Producer Casey? He just disappeared. Is he okay? Did he get into a tragic accident?? Will he be replaced by an uncanny look-a-like made by an AI 3D printer??? #44IF… Or is this just another case of Millennial ghosting?     EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

    Ringo Starr’s “Long Long Road” (2026) - Part 2

    In this hotly anticipated Part 2, T.J. and Casey and their Sunshine Band pick up the pieces for Florida Man, Tony Mendoza, still buggin’ out in the Everglades. They wrap up their deep deep dish on Ringo’s “Long Long Road”, and T.J. “press night invite” Shanoff does his finest Chris Jones impression (Angry Drunk Chicago Guy: “I WAS ALWAYS MORUVA HEDY WEISS GUY MYSELF”) and opines on Brendan Hunt’s new one-man show “The Movement You Need” at Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Theater. And between the bits, they babble on wondering: 🎤💉 Is autotune the new Ozempic? 🌩⚡ ️After his recent close brush with lightning during his road trip, is Tony ready to revisit the catalog of Lou Christie? 💨💨 “She’s Gone”: WHO DID IT BETTER? Ringo, Hall and Oates, Steelheart, Bob Marley, Black Sabbath, Clapton, NOFX, L.A.B., Soft Machine, Bang Camaro, the Tindersticks, or South Side icon Ken “the Hawk” Harrelson?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

    Ringo Starr's "Long Long Road" (2026)

    This week “Guys from The Untitled Beatles Podcast” (not to be confused with “Guys from Toto” or “Guys from Survivor”) pay homage to the great Frank Sinatra album Duets - as T.J. and guest co-host Producer Casey laugh it up over Ringo’s newest country platter, Duets Long Long Road —while ailing co-host Tony uses Duets-era technology to phone in his commentary all the way from Fort Lauderdale (not the first time that guy has phoned it in, just ask the Chicago improv community). Between all the chuckles and landline logistical delays, the team wonders: 🌬️ How on earth is the weather in Minnesota so different than the weather in Southern California? 📸 Can Portrait Records airbrush the braces and acne off of my 8th grade school photo? 🍌 Is it worth buying the Sack Lunch Original Motion Picture Soundtrack solely for Ringo’s mid-tempo slog-thru of “Banana Stain Blues”?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!
