#210 I’ll Get You – CROSSOVER! With Blotto Beatles!

It’s our first ever crossover episode! We’re putting our heads together with Tommy, Scotty, and Becker, the hosts of Blotto Beatles, a podcast where they discuss a different Beatles song over a handful of adult beverages, then decide where it should rank in their personal rankings. Great minds think alike! In this episode, we discuss “I’ll Get You,” the b-side to the “She Loves You” single. It’s a song that really has no downside to it, it shows the Fabs already learning how to work the crowd, even on record, and has one of my absolute favorite John & Paul joint vocals. 99.9% of other bands would absolutely kill for this kind of song to be their b-side, lesser bands made careers out of songs that weren’t as good as this. We also discuss growing up with friends who bond over the Beatles, kleptomaniac parents, intimate ideas for show that Macca could (but probably would never) do, and invent what’s destined to be the first official Ranking the Beatles merch, the Paul Shawl. 

Blotto Beatles can be heard anywhere you listen to podcasts, including Apple and Spotify, as well as on their website, blottobeatles.com. We highly recommend kicking back with the beverage of your choice and hanging with our new pod pals!

Ranking the songs of the Beatles? What could possibly go wrong? But somehow this podcast gets it just right thanks to the wit and charm of the co-hosts and their guests. The listener quickly discovers the rankings are used not to incite heated arguments but rather as a starting point to spark a positive deep dive into every Beatle song. Put simply, Ranking The Beatles is a welcome addition to the Beatle podcast universe.

Required listening if you like The Beatles at all. Great guests every week and Jonathan and Julia are fun and genuinely funny (even the tired Mike Love jokes). I listen every Tuesday morning as soon as I wake up. One week around Christmas they took the week off so I just slept the whole week until there was a new episode. It was worth the wait.

Nice to see a truly excellent new Beatles podcast. This one is hosted by a very appealing young couple, who along with their well selected guests, have a winning combination of professional musical knowledge and the enthusiasm of fans. It’s an interesting format that by definition promises to only get better as it goes along. If they can make the “Only a Northern Song” episode good then they’re unstoppable
