Many Beatles scholars (NOT YOU, Lewisohn) often cite this familiar and prophetic John Lennon quote: "It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From 2020 on, all crucial Beatles film projects will be kept behind a Disney paywall, where you will pay to subscribe and still get commercials'." John later relied on this memory to write the inspired-by-Joan Lunden Pepper track, ”Good Morning, Good Morning America”. (Angry Chicago Guy: AND HOW COME THEY LET STRAHAN ON THAT SHOW BUT DON'T GOT BRIAN URLACHER?) Back to The Beatles. If you weren't aware, Disney is now streaming The Beatles Anthology, alongside a million Star Wars spin-offs from the last decade that nobody knew existed. It goes without saying that the original TV Anthology, and the vastly expanded home video version, are legendary. The latter has existed as a period piece trapped on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD since 2003, never remastered or re-issued. Until now. Tony, T.J, producer Casey, and a sassy, housemaid robot all gussied up for a new year of hilarious hijinks - it's TGIF on A-BEATLES-C! - begin to dissect this wild re-release/re-thinking of the most important Beatles moment since their break-up in 1970. (Sorry, “Love Songs” fans. #SorryLoveSongs) But they also ask the hard hitting questions that only a Robin Roberts/Charles Gibson would ask, like: 6️⃣7️⃣ If T.J. uses a popular word from 2022 in 2026, does that give him the right to make 2025 jokes in 2029?

Russian officials say investigators are considering various motives for the attack, including a theory it was organized by Ukrainian special forces.

Today we'll be talking about new rules prohibiting alcohol sales to already intoxicated customers, regional earthquake activity rattling Southeast Asia, and a little later foreigners behaving badly in sexual encounters and food eating contests, PLUS exactly where does Bangkok lie on the world's most visited travel destinations.

Some ghost stories come with fear. Others come with confusion. And then there are the rare ones that arrive quietly… politely… with a simple greeting. Rushing home after a school drop-off, a woman heard a man's voice speak clearly and calmly from inside her house. Not in her head. Not imagined. Out loud. The words were simple: “Good morning.” At first, there was disbelief. A search of the house turned up nothing. No intruders. No explanation. But months later, the truth began to surface—connected to a long-lost family member, a cherished portrait, and a name that suddenly made chilling sense. This isn't a story about terror or shadows in the dark. It's about ancestry, memory, and the strange ways the past sometimes reaches into the present. It's about a moment so brief, yet so powerful, that it reshaped how one person understands family, loss, and the thin line between the living and the dead. #RealGhostStories #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #SpiritsAmongUs #LifeAfterDeath #HauntedEncounters #AncestorSpirits #GhostVoices #UnexplainedPhenomena #AfterlifeStories #ParanormalExperience Love real ghost stories?
