The guys are on a brief hiatus this week, but we proudly present this all-time favorite of ours from back in 2021!
-----
Originally released August 14 and 21, 2001
Not every Lennon and McCartney tune made its way onto a Beatles record, but that didn’t mean they had to hide away gathering dust, only to be released on some future 20-disc rarities box set. The greatest songwriting duo in history also kicked some of their work over to other artists making their names in the 60s—Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Cilla Black, the Fourmost, some scrappy Londoners calling themselves the Rolling Stones, etc.—and this week T.J. and Tony share some of their four-fab faves the Beatles gave away. And maybe also a couple of tossers.
While they’re at it, they also made some time to:
- Record a pilot episode for the Untitled TV Guide Podcast*
- Play a game of "Bob Gaudio, James Guercio, or Joe Guercio?"
- And reveal their long-guarded secret that Tony and T.J. were, in fact, Chad, Jeremy, Peter, Gordon, Jan, AND Dean.
Buckle up! It's gonna be a two parter.

In this thrilling conclusion, T.J. and Tony get Lost in Space (and Portugal) while rummaging thru the songs John, Paul and George gave to other artists—P.J. Proby, Mary Hopkin, Badfinger, Jackie Lomax and more. The embarrassment of riches is sure to send you into a lap slappin’ frenzy.
As usual, the fellas pose hard-hitting questions such as:
- Which performance trick did Paul McCartney nick from Barry Manilow?
- Who is the most famous member of Hollywood Vampires?
- Do they have the rodeo in the United Kingdom?
- Plus cameo appearances by local plumbers from Tony’s crackerbox palace.
Today’s episode was compiled by guest editor L’anJello Peculiarissimo.
