Ep. 85 - Rye'm Down (Feat. Andy Nicholes and Tom Hunyady of the 2Legs Pod)

Blotto Beatles

It was a singular joy to close out the year in episode 85 with Tom Hunyady and Andy Nicholes of the 2Legs podcast as we discussed the McCartney '71 tapes, some real moments of what this work means to us when other things feel upside down, a State of the Blotto Union, The George RR Martins of New England, New Year's Blotto Resolutions (including Stamos), why mistakes happen on the list, the Blotto Mono Box Set, couples counseling for podcast hosts, the mandatory Thanksgiving/Last Waltz chat, the Backbeat soundtrack, the Beatles early bongo obsession, Shea Stadium notes, if McCartney actually drove a boat or started a campfire in his Anthology interviews, the first time Ringo hit a mystery word for us, the best day of McCartney in the studio, Andy Nicholes calling "Yesterday" the worst McCartney Beatles song ever, a lot of talk about our mutual friend Sam Whiles, and the McCarntey barn burner "I'm Down."
The interstitial music you heard between our intro and the welcome of the 2Legs gents is an original Scotty C. composition entitled "Elbows." Once you listen too the episode, you will understand why this was a perfect place to point that out.
