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:

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:

“Electrifying more and more of our energy use is a long‑term investment and ultimately is actually more efficient – but it does require a huge amount of investment,” says Marc Elliott, Investment Specialist at UBP. Listen to his latest conversation with Nicolas Barben, UBP's Group Head of Sustainable Investment, as they discuss the main drivers that will accelerate investment in power systems. 

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:

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:

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:

En Capital Intereconomía, la Tertulia de Mercados reúne a Silvia Merino, de Fidelity International; Sergio López de Uralde, de Groupama AM; Felipe Lería, de UBP; y Víctor Asensi, de DPAM, para analizar qué huella está dejando la guerra en los principales activos financieros. La conversación se centra en el comportamiento de la bolsa, los bonos y el dólar, en un mercado que intenta recomponerse pero que sigue condicionado por la incertidumbre geopolítica. Los expertos también abordan el papel de los bancos centrales y lo que podría suponer la llegada de Kevin Warsh al frente de la Fed, en un momento en el que Europa teme que la inflación se vuelva más persistente y acabe dañando márgenes y beneficios empresariales en la segunda mitad del año. La tertulia repasa además la temporada de resultados, el impacto de la inteligencia artificial en el empleo tecnológico y las oportunidades de inversión que se abren en renta variable, renta fija y activos alternativos. El programa se completa con el análisis de preapertura de Patricia García, que anticipa una sesión pendiente de los datos macro, los resultados empresariales y la evolución del contexto internacional.

Los mercados arrancan la semana en positivo, impulsados por el buen comportamiento del sector tecnológico y de semiconductores, ajenos por ahora a las tensiones geopolíticas y al repunte del petróleo. Asia lidera las subidas, con nuevos máximos en Japón y Corea del Sur, en una semana clave para las bolsas internacionales. Los inversores centran su atención en las reuniones de los principales bancos centrales. La Reserva Federal decidirá el miércoles sobre los tipos de interés, mientras que el jueves será el turno del Banco Central Europeo. También celebrarán encuentros de política monetaria el Banco de Inglaterra y el Banco de Japón, en un contexto marcado por la preocupación por la inflación y el impacto del conflicto entre Irán y Estados Unidos. En el plano macroeconómico, en Estados Unidos se publicará la primera estimación del PIB del primer trimestre y el índice de precios PCE, el indicador favorito de la Fed para medir la inflación. En Europa se conocerán datos de IPC en España, Francia y Alemania, así como cifras de crecimiento en España, Alemania, Italia y el conjunto de la eurozona. En Asia destacará el PMI compuesto de China. Además, los mercados afrontan una semana intensa de resultados empresariales. En Estados Unidos rendirán cuentas gigantes tecnológicos como Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft y Qualcomm, junto a compañías como Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Caterpillar o Verizon. En España será el turno de Santander, BBVA, CaixaBank, Repsol, Indra, Aena, Iberdrola y Naturgy. En Europa también presentarán resultados entidades como UBS, ING, Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas y Deutsche Bank, además de firmas como TotalEnergies, Puma y Adidas. En la tertulia de mercados de Capital Intereconomía, Silvia Merino, Sales Manager en Fidelity International; Sergio López de Uralde, responsable de desarrollo de negocio de Groupama AM en Iberia y Latinoamérica; Felipe Lería, Head de Iberia & Latam de UBP; y Víctor Asensi, Country Head de DPAM en España & Latam, analizan el impacto de la guerra en bolsa, bonos y dólar, así como las expectativas ante las decisiones de los bancos centrales y la temporada de resultados.

This week, P3Z-Nutz reports (not) live from down under with another fab fav classic episode! ----- Originally aired May 8, 2021 This week T.J. and Tony follow the Fab Four "under the equator" (as they say) for their ripping June 1964 concert in Melbourne, Australia. It's the rare show that captures the Beatles in peak performance shape, and in high quality audio and video. The guys go through track-by-track, and also find time to cover: • Their favorite early 2000s post-grunge band • Their least favorite 80s NBC TV theme • The breakfast menu at the Taco Bell in Plymouth, Wisconsin ...and more! So pack your bags; we're heading for Australia! Insert Men At Work joke here.   EPISODE LINKS Find Fab footage of the Melbourne show on YouTube! Dig into this week's Pandora playlist!

The guys are back (even if their voices aren't), and catch up on all the wild Beatlenews and Beatlereleases from the past few weeks. It's been a hard day's fortnight, & Tony & T.J. have been working like dogs to buy, rent, or look at all the following: New Paul album, new Ringo album, new John meditation mixes, new George Dark Horse label re-releases, new Wings documentary & soundtrack, new John concert movie, new documentary about Paul's lost bass, Evolver 62 documentary now streaming, and a new one-person show in Chicago about The Beatles by actor/writer (& Chicagoan!) Brendan Hunt, aka Coach Beard on Ted Lasso! Whew!  The guys also discuss how Bob Eubanks and Dick Biondi, announcing together at the Hollywood Bowl, both said "The Beatles" at the same time -- which possibly gave Eubanks the idea for The Newlywed Game, where couples try to say the same things about places where they made "whoopee". Speaking of Dark Horse records, T.J.'s voice is especially dark & hoarse -- like George's voice on Dark Horse! Perhaps from running on a dark racecourse? And as George Martin says, dark horses for dark courses. But what about your father's dark horse? Of dark course, Henry the Dark Horse danced the waltz, & then the Beatles ate him in Germany for Christmas dinner. Very dark, indeed.

It was five years ago today When Teej and Tony told their friends to play A VHS that T.J. had around With its super warbly 80s sound So may we introduce to you The film you've loved for all these years: Paul McCartney's “Give My Regards to Broad Street” ----- Originally aired April 17, 2021 At long last, T.J. and Tony review Sir Paul's magnum opus: Give My Regards to Broad Street. Starring and written by Paul McCartney, the 1984 movie was panned by critics and audiences alike, but brought us some of Paul's best music of the decade ("No More Lonely Nights"), and some of his worst remakes of his best music from decades past (lookin' at you, "Long and Winding Road"). This long and rambling podcast leads to all the usual goofs and giggles, and—as far as we're able to ascertain—what we believe to be the first reference to the theme music from NBC's "The Days & Nights of Molly Dodd" in podcasting history. And what movie review is complete without also covering the Commodore 64 video game adaptation? Movie viewing recommended (you might be able to find it on YouTube), but certainly not required. Good times guaranteed either way, or your money back.   EPISODE LINKS PANDORA PLAYLIST Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram! Like and subscribe!

It's the end of March Fabness, and there's no time to waste in crowning the Official Legally Required 9th Beatle.  Spoiler Alert: it's all Chicago bay-bee! Slippers for only sleepers! Glass Onions!

Everybody clap your hands, the UBP is Happy Just To Big Dance With You! That's right: it's March Fabness once again, and that means it's time to crown the official, legally-Calderstone-sanctioned 9th Beatle Bracket, A Ron Howard Motion Picture. This year's Beatle Bracket, much like the origins of the Fab 5, begins and ends in Chicago! From the Beatles BBC sessions recorded during the WLS Barn Dance, to the infamous rooftop concert atop Second City's Pipers Alley parking lot, Chicago was the home of every significant Beatles event. Few will forget John's touching tribute to his favorite retail emporium as a young tough, “Strawberry Marshall Fields Forever”. And much as Eleanor Rigby darned her White Sox in the night while there was nobody there (“there” being a May day game at Comiskey against the Royals - NOBODY CAME), Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey face some Malort-worthy matchups, featuring 312-flavored Beatlefigures everyone absolutely knows. And while you are only waiting for this one shining moment to arise, the boys must first settle some other business on the hardwood/hard would, such as: ☘ Did Howlin' Frank Ifield invent Chicago blues?

Happy early UBP because we missed the middle podcast this week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In honour of spring break, it's a super deluxe reissue of the Untitled Beatles Podcast's third episode. Travel back to the simpler times of 2020, a world under lockdown during a deadly global pandemic, when two old friends/comedy nerds try podcasting about their favorite band on a platform called Zoom. Spoiler: the band is The Beatles. Wax nostalgic about scrubbing your vegetables with soap while reliving the golden days of Covid-19 with all the bells and whistles you've come to expect from today's Tangential Twosome. Originally published June 13, 2020 T.J. turns Tony on... to two George Harrison solo albums: the self-titled 1979 studio record and the 1991 live double-LP with Eric Clapton's band. Plus detours into the Beatles Sirius channel, Mitch Weissman, Beatle baseball, and The Jimmie Nicol Telethon.   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

It's one of the biggest albums of the late 1980's. No, not “Small World”, Huey Lewis & The News' misguided attempt at a jazz-pop record that sadly gave us a song called “Bobo Tempo”, and can be found in near mint condition for a dollar in used record bins across the country. Rather, dear bleeder, it's George Harrison's comeback album, “Cloud 9”. Led by its spirited cover of “Got My Mind Set On You”, and the unofficial theme to Disney's Mulan (“Breath Away from Heaven”), this is a record that's held up through the years as one of the best by a solo Beatle not named “Pete”. Tony & T.J. continue their deep-dish of this legendary album, as they explore questions about fonts, album covers, Weird Al, random Billy Joel deep cuts, and more; like:

Look. George Harrison took five years after "Gone Troppo" to complete his 1987 masterpiece "Cloud Nine", so excuse us if we take a couple weeks to wrap up our long awaited deep dish. This week, the Untitled Twotles finally get around to talking about side one, and promise not to wreck the episode with tacky gated reverb like some sorry Fine Young Cannibals knockoff.   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!

After spending the past three weeks in 1995's Anthology universe, the Untitled Beatles Podcast needs a break. So this week… we head WAY BACK… to 1987. That's right. At long last, by popular demand—LLGH! Cheers, big ears!—Tony and T.J. delve into George Harrison's smash-hit solo record, “Cloud Nine”, which T.J. SHANOFF LOVED LONG BEFORE ALL YOU BANDWAGON B*S. Along the way, they find time to foray into Format Foyer, and answer the pressing questions like:

Nvidia gave another bullish forecast for quarterly revenue. CEO Jensen Huang said the enterprise adoption of AI agents is skyrocketing. That suggests it's not just hyperscalers buying Nvidia's products, corporations are as well. Fiscal first-quarter sales will be about $78 billion, the chipmaker said in a statement Wednesday. Though the average Wall Street estimate was $72.8 billion, some analysts had projected numbers approaching $80 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. To break down the latest earnings, we spoke to Daniel Newman, CEO at the Futurum Group. Plus - Asian shares climbed for a fourth day as recent turmoil sparked by concerns over the impact of artificial intelligence subsided, though gains were tempered by a muted response to Nvidia Corp.'s upbeat sales forecast. We heard from Kieran Calder, Head of Equity Research for Asia at UBP. He spoke to Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some say the “Sgt. Pepper”, post-touring era is the peak of The Beatles recorded music. Others prefer Korn. For those who are slightly more into The Beatles, Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey deep dish Episode 6 of “The Beatles Anthology”. This has always been one of the most fertile and astonishing chapters in Beatles history, but we can all be thankful that Disney truncated it by 15 minutes for those of us in a rush. Beep beep, toot toot, no time for the “For No One” bridge, damn it! And, sure! The UBP3zteetles (you try it, tough guy) talk “Anthology” 6 in great detail, but still find time to probe the throbbing questions, like:

Las Bolsas europeas arrancan la semana con tono mixto y sin la referencia de Wall Street, cerrado este lunes por festivo. En Asia, el Nikkei de Tokio cae un 0,2% después de que Japón evitara por la mínima la recesión técnica: el PIB creció un 0,1% en el cuarto trimestre de 2025, muy por debajo del 0,4% previsto. La atención se dirige ahora a una semana cargada de referencias macro. El viernes conoceremos el PIB preliminar del cuarto trimestre de EEUU, con previsión de moderación al 2,9% anualizado frente al 4,4% anterior. También se publicará el PCE de diciembre, indicador clave para la Reserva Federal en su seguimiento de la inflación. Además, habrá datos de IPC en Alemania, Francia, Reino Unido y Japón, junto a las actas de la última reunión de la Fed. En la tertulia de mercados de Capital Intereconomía, Patricia Molpeceres (AllianceBernstein), Antonio Feito (Swisscanto AM), Felipe Lería (UBP) y Leonardo López Vega (Oddo BHF AM) analizan la situación actual de los mercados, debaten si existe excesiva complacencia en las Bolsas y cómo proteger las carteras ante una posible corrección en los próximos meses.

En Capital Intereconomía analizamos la actualidad de los mercados en una nueva Tertulia de Mercados, centrada en los movimientos sectoriales, la volatilidad y las estrategias de inversión para los próximos meses. El debate contó con la participación de Patricia Molpeceres, Sales Director de AllianceBernstein para Iberia; Antonio Feito, director de ventas de Swisscanto Asset Management International en España; Felipe Lería, Head de Iberia & Latam de UBP; y Leonardo López Vega, responsable para Iberia y Latam de Oddo BHF AM. Durante la tertulia, los expertos abordaron la llamada “gran rotación” en los mercados, analizando si se está produciendo un trasvase desde la tecnología hacia otros sectores o una redistribución interna dentro del propio sector tecnológico. También debatieron sobre el grado de complacencia existente entre los inversores y los riesgos que puede implicar en un contexto de valoraciones exigentes. Asimismo, los ponentes ofrecieron claves para proteger las carteras ante posibles correcciones, con especial atención a la diversificación, la gestión del riesgo y el papel de los activos defensivos. Otro de los ejes centrales fue el creciente interés por los mercados emergentes y su potencial para aportar rentabilidad en 2026. La hora se cerró con el análisis de preapertura de Roberto Scholtes, Jefe de Estrategia de Singular Bank, que adelantó las principales referencias macroeconómicas y financieras que marcarán el inicio de la sesión.

Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: "Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?" Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it's not that bad, but c'mon Apple, it's RUBBER SOUL! (#HeyHey #Rip) For better AND worse, Beatles Anthology 5 is much like its predecessors; chock full of incredibly remastered footage and audio; while missing certain key elements for time or perhaps simply to please a mouse. (SFX: Buzzer) Sorry! “The Mouse”! Come join Tony, T.J., and Casey as we mansplain how men mansplain Beatles stuff, and since the rule of two mansplainings cancels things out, we'll ponder other life quandaries, like:

Wait no more, it's Anthology 4! It's better streaming, and also way worse! It's shorter, which is nice, and also truly stupid. Official Beatles history is being re-written forever, a travesty that's never sounded or looked so good. Yes, if you've also found yourself stroking out at the tightening and edits of “Beatles Anthology - 2025”, you've got some pals at the Untitled Beatles Podcast. We've never been more grateful for such glorious Beatles product, and also, hey Calderstone, WTF MY DUDES??? It's quite the conundrum as the fellas deep dish the 4th installment of this generation's “Frozen 2”, now with Bernard Purdie as Josh Gad. They also ask the tough questions that CBS won't allow their remaining journalists to even consider, like:

How late's too late to wish people a Happy New Year …? How late's too late to run a New Year Preview episode of a Beatles podcast? LOOK: THIS EPISODE DROPS JANUARY 31ST SO CLOSE ENOUGH. We're back, baybee! Join Tony and T.J. as they spend the better part of an hour writing down their deepest wishes for Beatle baubles in 2026, lighting them on fire, and releasing them into the night sky. And UBP GenZ Correspondent Skylar Moody drops in with reflections on the recent news of a BeatleFest furlough. Er, I mean the Fest for Furlough Fans. As we pop the last of our unpopped poppers and nuke the last of our leftover Bears playoff jalapeño poppers, we ponder:

Originally released September 23, 2023 No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as a small British boys school (Ringo! Ringo!), where the Beatles gave one of their longer and most interesting concerts whilst on the cusp of British fame. Recently, a tape surfaced of the mostly complete show, and like the Star Club release in 1970's, this one is truly a mammoth moment in Beatles history. Tony & T.J. gab fab on the concert, the set list, and the immense historical significance. And because they're morons, they also ponder:

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Clive Thompson to the show. Clive Thompson is Retired Wealth Manager and Swiss Banker and, Host of the ‘Clive Thompson’ YouTube Channel. The episode centers on the current state of precious metals markets, with a particular focus on silver and gold. Thompson highlights a critical shift in the silver market, where industrial demand now exceeds mine supply. He explains that this dynamic is creating significant pressure on the market, with industrial consumers becoming increasingly concerned about potential silver shortages. The gap between physical and paper silver prices has widened dramatically, indicating underlying market tensions and potential supply chain disruptions. Regarding investment strategies, Thompson advocates for a measured approach to precious metals. He recommends investors gradually accumulate physical silver and gold as a form of insurance against potential financial system instability. He emphasizes that these assets should be viewed as a protective measure rather than a short-term speculation opportunity. The conversation also explores broader economic trends, including rising government debt, central bank behaviors, and potential future monetary systems. Thompson suggests that the increasing global debt burden could lead to significant financial transformations, potentially including the introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that might restrict financial freedoms. On gold and mining stocks, Thompson sees significant potential. He explains that rising gold prices create leveraged profit opportunities for mining companies, with potential for substantial share price appreciation. He advises diversification within mining investments, recommending investors spread risk across different geographical regions and companies. Thompson’s insights are grounded in his extensive financial background, offering a nuanced perspective on precious metals as both an investment and a potential hedge against economic uncertainty. His approach is pragmatic, suggesting investors maintain a balanced portfolio while recognizing the potential volatility and systemic risks in the current financial landscape.

We pick up where we left off, in March 1963. The Gab Two follow the Fab Four along their journey in Anthology episodes 2 and 3: touring Britain, navigating Beatlemania, (probably) disappointing the Queen Mother, (probably) disappointing the boys in Paris, and—just in case you haven't had enough coverage of it—INVADING THE STATES. #Don'tTellICE Tee-Jay and Tony continue their Disney+ Deep Dish, and in classic Gen X fashion, spend most of their time waxing poetic about how much cooler everything was in the 90s. Their nostalgic trip leads them to the important inquiries, like: ⚡️

Asian shares posted a modest gain at the open, while Japanese equities extended their record-breaking run fueled by a weaker yen. For more on what is moving the markets in the region, we speak to Abhishek Vishnoi, Senior Reporter for Asia Equities. Plus - Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's reported plan for a snap election fueled a rally in stocks while pushing down bonds and driving the yen deeper into the intervention-risk zone. For more on the outlook on Japanese markets, we heard from Zuhair Khan, Senior Portfolio Manager at UBP. He spoke to Bloomberg's Paul Allen and Avril Hong.

Short attention spans. Am I right? I mean you're reading this right now, when you could be with your family or punching a Nazi. (We at the UBP heartily encourage both.) Fortunately, the good folks at Apple & Disney are well aware of short attention span syndrome, most felt during slow dissolves and still images over credits. Thankfully, they've done us the favor of removing some incredible Beatles content to save time, all while making the remaining and new footage look and sound perfect. Less Beatles content, more commercials? What kind of Calderstoner would say no to that? In today's episode, Tony & T.J., vaguely replicate their critically panned, cantankerous relationship from their brief run on ABC's “The New Odd Couple” back in 1982 (when Tony & T.J. went by their stage names, “Ron Glass” and “Desmond Wilson”), and take a look at the first chapter of “Anthology…2025”. They spotlight some of the exciting easter egg discoveries, as well as some of the curious cuts and changes to satiate, I don't freaking know, “Bluey” viewers? Biscuits! The pod world's most serious gonzo rock journalists also ask a few other wild questions, such as:

1-2-3-4! Can I have a little more? 5-6-7-8-9-10…instrumental versions of Beatles classics! Is this “The Hollyridge Strings Plays The Beatles”? Nope, it's the CD and vinyl release of Anthology 4; not to be confused with Anthology 4 on Disney+, not to be confused with the largely different Anthology 4 on DVD/VHS. Make sense, fellow Calderstoners? With 13 new tracks, plus some choice (and, ahem, choice-adjacent) cuts from the recent deluxe Beatles reissues, there is much genuine Beatle joy to be be found on Anthology 4. A few tracks are revelatory! A few are kick ass! A few are fine! And a few too many, you can #FileUnderANap. Tony and T.J. look at the highs and lows, both musical and bourbon-influenced, of the most recent entry into The Beatles vast compilation canon. On this aural journey (#OhSherry #BuzzerSFX #ThatsSoloStevePerry), Tony, T.J., and P3Z-Nutz ask and answer the questions literally millions of podcast listeners are begging us to answer, which may-or-may-not-include:

Attention Wealthy Beatles Fans (TM)! How do you feel about 13 tracks? No, not “of whack”, as Walter Becker might have presented us, while he was still alive anyway. But rather, 13 tracks of unearthed Beatles demos & takes, nearly all of which are pure gems, now available on “Anthology 4”.   Awesome, yes? Now, how do you feel about spending $74 for a deluxe vinyl package (excuse me? SIR?) with 36 tracks of whack. Does it make you feel better to know that you're spending that hard earned cash on 36% “new” material, and; coincidentally, (Beatles) '64% of music you already bought on previous deluxe reissues? Good news, because as the Fat Boys once sang, “Baby you're a rich man, too!”   Look, we like to joke around at the UBP, it's what makes us Apple's only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD). OF COURSE we're grateful for “new” Beatles goodies we've never heard before. Early takes of “Tell Me Why”! “Every Little Thing!” “In My Life”! Surely, “A4” has been curated for both the die-hard and casual Beatles fan, yes? What's that? Oh you were expecting a “Yes, and?” Well we love improv, too. It's our water, our oxygen, our physical fitness. In fact, improv is what makes us The Second City's only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD).   So not only do Tony & T.J. begin to deep dish “Anthology 4: Less Faster But Even More Furious”, but they yes and themselves into veritable Don knots over:  

La tertulia de mercados reunió hoy a Fernando Fernández-Bravo (Invesco), Felipe Lería (UBP), Gonzalo Rengifo (Pictet AM) y Álvaro Antón (Aberdeen), en una mesa marcada por la volatilidad y las dudas de los inversores. Los expertos debatieron qué está castigando realmente a las bolsas: si el freno tecnológico, el ritmo incierto de tipos o el fuerte rally acumulado en 2025. Coincidieron en que la corrección abre un debate clave: ¿reducir exposición a tecnología o comprar en las caídas como si fuera un ‘Black Friday' del mercado? En renta fija, el foco se desplaza claramente hacia 2026, analizando duraciones óptimas y activos que pueden ofrecer oportunidades en un escenario de tipos más estables. En renta variable, los gestores buscan valor en sectores defensivos, en compañías de calidad y en mercados donde las valoraciones aún no se han estirado. Sobre alternativos, todos subrayaron su papel creciente para diversificar carteras, especialmente en estrategias descorrelacionadas. La sesión se completó con el análisis de preapertura de Pablo García (Divacons–Alphavalue), quien repasó las claves de una jornada marcada por la incertidumbre alrededor de la tecnología y del escenario de tipos.

Las Bolsas comienzan la semana con subidas, impulsadas por las expectativas de recortes de tipos por parte de la Fed, que han elevado la probabilidad de un ajuste de 25 puntos básicos al 67% en la reunión de diciembre. Los comentarios del gobernador de la Fed, John Williams, sobre posibles descensos de tasas a corto plazo han reforzado el optimismo en los mercados. En la tertulia de mercados de Capital Intereconomía, expertos como Fernando Fernández-Bravo (Invesco), Felipe Lería (UBP), Gonzalo Rengifo (Pictet AM) y Álvaro Antón (Aberdeen) analizan la posibilidad de un recorte de tipos en diciembre por parte de la Fed, la situación de algunos activos como la tecnología, y abordan estrategias sobre renta fija, renta variable y activos alternativos, buscando oportunidades y herramientas estratégicas para 2026.

Greetings from America where it's our annual National-Murder-A-Turkey Week! We here at the UBP Home Office at tropical Meigs Field are beyond grateful for our listeners, our friends, our UBP families, our Patreon subscribers, Kohls Black Friday deals, and US Postal workers, who deserve our respect and a damn TIP around the holidays. This week, we show our gratitude for the many Beatles and solo Beatles projects in 2025, highlighted by the recent release of “Anthology 4”, which presents an exciting chance to buy “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) for the second time since 2019. (Who needs “Carnival Of Light” when you can have “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) on TWO pricey physical reissues?) The Turkey Trottin Two share their gratitude, and discuss a litany of holiday-themed Beatles news and releases. And they absolutely never sound like grumpy old dudes who'd rather have a deluxe Rubber Soul than a full slab of Threetles vinyl! Plus, in the spirit of the holiday season, they ponder/pander:

AT LAST, the guys are back from their fall hiatus, in which they frantically earned as much money as possible to fund the next 12 months of profit-less Beatles podcasting. However, they're still recording new episodes for the winter season. With that in mind, this week we dig back into the archives to present one of our favorite episodes that we're kind of surprised we haven't already re-run.... our 2023 Deep Dish into all things LIVERPOOL DRAG! -------- Originally released November 11, 2023 What happens when you take the energy of Beatlemania and mix it with a helping of questionably written and performed Beatles-inspired songs? You get Liverpool Drag. Not the Beatles, but an unincredible simulation! This week, Tony & T.J. examine the early 60's phenomenon of Beatle-inspired cash-in records. Are they good? Awful? Somewhere in between? The answer is, "yes". Along the way, the Drag Duo ask:

Legendary Chicago singer/songwriter Steve Goodman once sang of riding the rails on a train known as the City Of New Orleans. We have no idea how Chicago-based UBP listener, friend, and journalist/author Mark Guarino (Country & Midwestern, Chicago Sun Times, ABC-TV) got to the world's greatest arena, the Smoothie King Center, to see Sir Paul rock NOLA. But, if Mark is a real Chicago guy, he's probably still been there since the Bears won Super Bowl XX in January of 1986; unarguably the single greatest day in American history unless you hate excellence and joy. #PaytonIsTheGoat But all that matters is that Mark did manage to see Macca in one of America's most incredible cities, and he generously reported back on the show and the scene for the rest of us. At an extremely exorbitant fee, I might add. $12,000 for an audio field piece? In this economy, Mark??? Tony & T.J. will give their highly anticipated (editor's note: by whom?) recap after they see McCartney in Chicago over Thanksgiving week, you turkeys; but in the meantime we're excited to share another in our continuing series of the UBP Hive seeing Sir Paul live in 2025. We also ask the tough questions that only OAN has the balls to ask, because they're also insane, just not in a healthy and fun way:

Las Bolsas comienzan la semana con el foco puesto en el posible cierre del Gobierno de Estados Unidos, una situación que genera incertidumbre en los mercados y podría impactar negativamente en la confianza de los inversores. A esto se suma una agenda macroeconómica intensa, con datos clave que podrían marcar el rumbo de la renta variable en Europa, EE.UU. y Asia. Entre las principales referencias de los próximos días destacan las cifras de PMI en China, Japón, EEUU y la eurozona, el dato adelantado de inflación en Europa, el PIB del segundo trimestre en EEUU, y el informe de empleo de septiembre en EEUU. Además compañías como Nike, Solaria y Tesco presentarán sus resultados. En la Tertulia de Mercados de Capital Intereconomía, Belén Ríos, jefa de ventas para Iberia en J. Safra Sarasin; Fernando Fernández-Bravo, responsable de ventas institucionales en Invesco; Juan Martín Valiente, socio de AMCHOR Investment Strategies; y Felipe Lería, Head de Iberia & Latam en UBP analizan si los resultados empresariales podrán actuar como catalizadores para los mercados y cuál será la hoja de ruta de la Reserva Federal en relación con los tipos de interés.

Riverside.FM is proud (neither legally nor officially) to present (allegedly) Chuck Swirsky and The Untitled Beatles Podcast! Brought to you (someday?) by Westmont's incredible Blue Village Vinyl. And when not spending gobs of sweet improv cash in Chicagoland's many fine vinyl establishments, you can often find the UBP Two doing the next best thing: seeing Ringo Starr And His Approximately Infinite All Starr Band, live in Chicago! Every “real” Beatles fan is aware that the Chicago Theater's most famous moment was when Donny Osmond pranced the stage nightly in a coat of many colors back in 1995. (Trivia: That's what killed a ton of old people that summer. #HeGone) But not anymore. Because Ringo Starr in 2025 has never sounded better, supported by a loyal, accomplished band who still rocks hard. Sometimes, for too long! So join Tony, T.J., Ringo, some true all-stars, a replacement player (e.g. “scab”) or two, and a few great UBP listeners, for some spirited/spirits-filled conversation, and highly illegal concert audio that can rather easily be traced back to the phone on which it was recorded. LOL! So in the interest of free speech, and praying our billion dollar merger with Sinstar Media goes through, let's ignore dumb legalities/norms and instead misdirect with inane questions, like:

“Help!” It's the second smash film, from the biggest band in the world, released when Beatlemania was still at its peak. It's filled with great - and in a few cases, top-tier - Beatles music. Its cast includes well known actors, and the director was an expert in maximizing the boys comedic, personable on-screen talents. It satirizes the burgeoning Bond franchise and, it's in color! (Take that, Boxing Day 1967 UK airing of “Magical Mystery Tour”) And yet the question must be asked all these years later: is “Help!” a classic? A great movie? Merely a good one? And in the grand scheme of Beatles excellence, what's wrong with that? UBP's Medved and Maltin (which one's which??) ask these questions, and also ponder: ☠ Is Poison's “Every Rose Has Ken Thorne” the most famous power ballad about the “Help!” incidental music composer?

The 2025 Chicago Fest for Beatles Fans is coming up...like a flower...next Friday, in beautiful, mobbed up Rosemont, IL. To preview the merriment and madness (#ourhouse), the UBP welcomes #1 Beatle Stan, Fab/Gear social media influencer, and friend of the program, Skylar Moody! Plus, Producer Casey drops by to help preview the 3rd Annual UBP F**k It We'll Do It Live Taping at The Fest! And as piano hero and fascism fighter Ben Folds says, "but wait, there's more!", like... ⛳️ At which legendary Rosemont dining establishment are the UBP3 (#Cantaloop?) more likely to dine during a union-mandated Fest dinner break: Giordanos, Caddyshack, or that Hyatt bar that used to rotate but no longer does unless you've made mistakes?

Bill Miller isn't just Texas' fastest growing BBQ joint this side of that one suburban Manila Kenny Rogers Roasters. No, sir/ma'am! Once upon a time, Bill Miller traded in his Texas, wet-rub BBQ stained hands to prepare something better and more culturally significant than chick'n: a U.S. Beatles album! Longtime Capitol butcher Dave Dexter was (allegedly) too busy running Nixon's campaign to assemble a Beatles album comprised of songs left-over from the British albums “Help”, “Rubber Soul”, and ripped from the not yet released “Revolver”. So that job fell to Bill Miller, the fast-growing Texas BBQ joint. HEARD OF IT, LIB? #Freedumb And in the process, the infamous - yet famously fun-to-spin - final U.S. capitol album of “new” material was released: Yesterday…And Today. (a.k.a. “Yesterday...And Today” for you cassette freaks! We see you! We are you!) This week, Tony & T.J. begin a deep dish of this classic, million selling Beatles album, which was unavailable and out of print from 1992-2014. Along the way, they ask the questions that only two guys with this much weirdo time on their hands would ask, like:

Scott takes as many questions as he can across a bumper episode of the UBP! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One of the darkest days for the UBP was in May 1990, when Vic Tayback, a.k.a. Mel on CBS' “Alice”, left this earth; and perhaps others. Despite taking place literal decades before the UBP began, Mr. Tayback's death caused a deep level of pain that has us forever kissing our own grits. Flash forward to June, 2025. Another entertainment hero is gone - one arguably bigger than Mr. Tayback - who helped define American music in the 1960's, and inspired Paul McCartney and The Beatles to reach arguably their greatest artistic heights.* (*Does not include “Now And Then”.) Indeed, the incredibly sad passing of Brian Wilson was felt deeply by the Gab Two; longtime Beach Boys fans who, in this episode, pay tribute to one of Macca's undying inspirations. Along the way, they also ask:

Look, some “Beatles podcasts” don't have the
