  • Listened for 30 seconds that was enough

    On the Glass Onion song episode the narrators said Paul's "bike accident was Nov '66 and you could see his mouth injury in the Day Tripper promo video. Wrong and wrong. He injured it over Christmas time 1965 on a moped. You can see the effects in the Paperback Writer and Rain videos shot in spring of 1966. Your credibility is shot. I unfollowed.

They also don’t take themselves to seriously, so the banter is definitely on the humorous side. Gotta say I enjoy it and hope they continue. My only complaint is that they don’t take the time to explain a passage or example by actuall... more

  • Loving This Podcast!

    I considered myself a decently big Beatles fan until I started listening to you guys. You’re knowledge is far superior than mine but I’m loving it! Would love to hear you guys cover “Because” which is my personal favorite.
