Cricket’s for the birds. It’s October (or was October as of pressing) and the only bats that belong within spitting distance of Capitol Records are made in Louisville right in the heart of the ol’ U.S. of A.

To celebrate the end of another season of America’s pastime, somehow currently dominated by Canadians (#2025), T.J. and Tony resurrect Producer Casey’s most confusing episode concept: THE BEATLE BATTING ORDER — this time constructing their lineups exclusively from stateside releases.

Between mouthfuls of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, we wonder:

⚾️ ❄ Is Paul actually a Mets fan, or is Darryl Strawberry just his dealer?

⚾️ 🐓 Who’s the superior mascot: The San Diego Chicken, or the Untitled Beatles Jimmie Nicol?

⚾️ ❌ [Drunk Chicago Guy] How come we still ain’t heard the lost recordings of Kirby Puckett and the Left Field Gap?

Minneapolis! Home of Prince, “Mary Tyler Moore”, and arguably the most exciting NBA player today, Joe Ingles. And of late, it’s home to Producer Casey; who recently took advantage of a last minute opportunity to see Sir Paul McCartney (heard of him, “Beatle fan?”). It’s Casey’s second Macca concert, and, arguably, first-ever concert. Figure that one out, math!

Casey reports back with special inside information (that’s a lie) from where the mini-apple’s mediocre/stupid football team plays (GO BEARS), with news on the Hot City Horns, Minny Moms who Lap Dance, and the still-growing legend of rock’s GOAT. Along the way, the Untitled Trio get a special message from our social media guru Glenny the K, who just saw Paul at Producer Casey’s famous pizzarena. Plus, they also ask:

🍔 Is seeing Macca in Des Moines and not eating a Drake Diner burger doused in homemade 1000 island dressing beforehand meant to be a huge middle finger to T.J.? Or does it just come off that way because of the ongoing paranoia?

🎷Would rock history have been vastly different or exactly the same if someone gave Stan Bronstein a keyboard with a bad saxophone patch in 1972?

⚾️ Do the kewl kids still play marry/f**k/kill with Gary Puckett, Kirby Puckett, and Wilson Pickett?

Everyone knows that the only legitimate and definitive collections of Wings tunes is “Wingspan”; obviously the only one that includes Take It Away (obviously not a Wings tune).

At long last, T.J.’s found a venue to sound off on the editorial decisions of now THREE separate Wings greatest hits collection: 1975’s “Wings Greatest”, 2001’s “Wingspan”, and the latest “Wings” collection due out this November. And Tony… is an accommodating podcast partner.

While we wax rhapsodic on Wings, we also wonder:

👗 Does his love of “Hot Rocks” mean Tony’s a housewife and/or little girl?

🌯 Which is the more iconic Chicago eatery: Mr. Submarine, Pockets, or Kenny Rogers Roasters?

🥃 [Drunk guy’s back at the bar] You tryna tell me that Starbucks album with the ukuleles ain’t a greatest hits record?
