Thank you so much. FMU, you're on the air? Beatles fail. What? Beatles fail. Beatles fail. I don't even know what that means. Well, you delivered one. How so? Me being at the convention? Something, well, a, yes, but something about what you said you saw there? Did you say you saw white album 1015? Yeah, like 00, a bunch of zeros and then 1015. There's no way. No way that was there. Really? Yeah. And why would that not be there? Because I know who has it. You know who has that number? Yes. But you, that's specific number. Absolutely. Who? Alan Seuss. Alan Seuss. From, from laughing?

Absolutely, yes. You didn't know that. No, I had no idea. Really? Yes. But your Beatles fail. Yeah, I am. Like, this is a little juice. Well, I guess that's the baitable. Well, I, I, I, he said a known thing who has each of the, the white album number? Pretty much. Yeah. Sounds like he didn't deserve to be there. I didn't deserve to be at the Beatles convention. Yeah, I don't know what you saw, but it certainly wasn't that. Yeah. Well, I'm pretty sure, I saw what I saw. Well, I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry that I, I think I'm going to stick by what I know I saw. Really? Yeah, and we'll just have to agree to disagree. Oh, oh, okay. I guess, yeah, I guess we'll agree to disagree. Uh-huh. No matter how wrong you are. Okay. Yeah, all right. Oh, how you ever agreed, now? Oh, you don't. Oh, okay. Wow. FMU, you're on the air. Cool.

Hello. Oh, hey, what's up? I actually played the Beatles fast about two or three years ago. You played it? Yes. You were one of the bands in the Battle of the Bands. Yeah, that was in the Battle of the Bands. What song did you do? We did a free as a bird. I have no idea why we did that too. It was really just a bad experience. Like, you're getting hustled up there? Well, like, I don't know. We were actually planning to do a strutter by kids to sort of just like ruin the whole experience for everyone. Yeah, who wouldn't want to ruin it for everyone? I mean, it was just like a bunch of like, everyone there is, I don't know. I don't know. They were like, the other bands were like, you know, all these stage parents were just yelling at these kids. Now it's just being really disillusioned. Tell us, we just play kids songs. Yeah. And then we went up there and we're like, now we have to play what we rehearsed. And it was just really bad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. It sounds like it was, I'm going to say that's completely your fault. Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't know. It just was a bad song to do too.

Yeah. It was pretty much, yeah. That's pretty much, I don't think you could pick a worse song to do. I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure you're saying to Mike, like, we wanted to just do another song or something. And the other, I was like, oh, no, we got to do free as a bird. And then it was funny. The guy that was at the mic was like, oh, every time I hear that song, I cry except for that time. I thought that was pretty funny. Wow. Okay. You got shut you down. Yeah. You got shut. Look, that guy's not, that guy's not exactly Don Rickles. And then he sounds like he did a pretty good job putting you in your place. Yeah. No, but you know what happened though? Pretty funny. What? The guy from the Hudson brothers liked it and wanted to meet me. And then we just left right, we just like left right after that. We were like, no, that was so dumb. We even do this. But then like, this girl that got us on the gig or whatever. The gig. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I want to go easy on the calling that a gig. It really wasn't a gig.

Yeah. But the girl that got us to us, like, she said, oh man, the guy from Hudson brothers, his friends with my dad. He was really upset that he didn't get to meet you guys because he really liked it so much. So I thought that was pretty funny. Yeah. And then we just got to the rainbow beer. Yeah, it's hilarious. Right? Not really, I guess. What other gigs you got going on? Anything else? I don't know. I've really played just shows since like September 2008, but we played like Death by Audio and stuff. That was cool. Uh-huh. Well, you're, you're, you're, you're as long as you're having fun with it. I am. I don't like the smirk in your voice. I don't like the smirk in your voice. You're the smirk in that guy's voice, Mike? Yeah, you know what? Yeah, you know what? And then we did the thing and we were totally going to mess it up and just play a kiss song. Because everybody's there just enjoying themselves. And we wanted to take that away from them.

Sickening. Sick. I don't like it. Don't like it. Hey, here's a question. You're traveling on a train, right? Like a longer train ride? I'm like an Amtrak train. Do you need a, uh, uh, uh, to be able to get on the internet? What do I need? If I have a Mac laptop, which has airport? Do I need something else? I need like some kind of mode of my plug into it? Do I need that? Do I need additional stuff?

201-209-9368. It's the best show on WFMU. What's that? It's large, man. It's course is late, fast, like. Okay, well, yes? Hi, we spoke on the phone. I'm sorry? We spoke on the phone. About the white album. Just a few minutes ago. Yeah, yeah. And you're here, physically. Oh, yeah, yeah. What are you doing? What am I doing? You're like two feet away. I mean, you're two minutes away. Well, I was on a, I was on a Beels Proud. And, uh, you know, I heard, I heard you talking. Uh-huh. Well, once you're talking to that mind. And into this one here? Yeah, that one. Oh, God, you don't disreminds me of this mic. What's that? Let it be cover. Reminds you of the cover of let it be. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. You good? Uh, I'll be better once I, uh, show you something. Uh-huh.

Then just sweep. Revenge is sweet. This really is. What is that? You're flipping through. Oh, it's just a book. Uh-huh. Who is that right there holding a copy of the White Album? Um, is that Alan Sue? It is. Uh-huh. Yeah. I can't make out exactly what, it's holding it up in this picture. Yeah. Look, I, it's, it's, it's a, it's not the, I mean, it's, it's one thousand fifteen. Really? It's indisputable.

Yeah. Okay. I can't, I can't see it that clearly. Well, it's, it's real. Do you want to say to me? Thanks. Uh, no. Well, thanks. Yes, because I imparted a great wisdom to you. Well, actually, I don't know why I would thank you since you barged your way into the studio uninvited. Oh, I'll, yeah. We left that hanging. Wait, what did we leave it? That, that whole, the whole question of whether or not I was, I was in the right. And you were in the wrong. Well, no, we, we agreed to disagree. I couldn't leave it at that because I know I'm right. Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, who are you? Shut up. Well, no, no, not shut up. Who are you? You're a Beatles fan, right? And you live in New Jersey. Uh-huh. Then you know who I am. I have no idea who you are. You do, too. You must have seen my license plate somewhere around. Somewhere around, around Newbridge. No. Beetle Boss 1. So you're Beetle Boss? Yeah. Pretty much the boss of all the Beatles fans.

Okay. Yeah. I've never seen your car. Come on. So who are you? I'm Beetle's milk. Beetle's milk? I make Beetle's milk. I don't even want to, I'm not even going to touch that one. I... Beetle's milk. Beetle's milk. Milk Mortner. Uh-huh. Come on. You know, milk Mortner, actually. Yeah. Well, that actually makes a difference. Check out the spine of the book. Uh-huh. Yeah. And the name of the book is... Excuse me? Milk? Yeah. Milk? It says... Yeah. By milk. Milk Beetle Milk Mortner. That's right. So you actually are known by that to where you would put that. Absolutely. Yeah. That's just one of my books. So how many Beetles books do you have? Uh, 53. You, 53 that you've...

You've written... I've written 53. I don't own 53. Why do I do that? At least 53. You've written 53 Beetles. Oh. 53 Beetle books. Yep. Uh-huh. Like any of that I would know the titles of? Oh, well if you're a fan, of course you do. Uh, inside the Beetles by someone who was really there? By you. Well, I wrote it, but it's based on a lengthy interview that I did. Okay. With who? It's guy named Sean Collins. Uh-huh. Who is Sean Collins? And that's not a name I know in the Beetles lore. I'm having serious doubts about your... Your Beetle fandom. If there were Beetles fan privileges? Mm-hmm. Yours would be revoked right now. You would... You'd revoke mine because I don't know who Sean Collins? Yes. I don't know who that is. Uh, he was only the janitor at Abbey Road.

Uh-huh. So you did a lengthy interview with him? Absolutely. Yeah, I did it on his deathbed. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. He's about to die. Uh-huh. He did die eventually. You wrote a book called Inside the Beetles. Inside the Beetles by someone who was really there. Uh-huh. Okay. What other books are in the 53? Well, that book that you were just... That I showed you. Yeah. Whiteout. Behind the cover of the Whiteout by someone who was actually there. Mm-hmm. And who... Who was that? Well, I interviewed Richard Hamilton's assistant, Craig Troy. Uh-huh. Yeah. Also on his deathbed. Uh-huh. He actually lived, but we had a lengthy interview about the cover of the Whiteout. Oh, yeah. Everything that went into it and the thought process is the numbers, the numbering. Yeah. Well, how long was the book? Pardon me? How long was a book... Could a book be about the cover of the Whiteout? Well, it's right there, you know.

That's like a... Oh, this is the one. Actually, yeah. Yeah. I couldn't tell because it's all... It's like white. I know. Well, that was... Yeah. You can see it actually. You got to work for it. Yeah. Sorry. I see your name. Yeah. You know, milk beetle, milk, more than that. Well, that's black, yeah. That's on black. But it just says here in like that kind of white on white, it says on the spine. Whiteout. The behind the cover... I say it again. It's hard to read, isn't it? This is very impractical for a book. Well, if you're a two-fan, you know, it makes sense. Whiteout. You obviously aren't. The behind the cover... Of the White album... Behind the cover of the White album... Uh-huh. ...by someone who was actually there. Okay. Yeah, okay. I can see how it says that. Okay, so you wrote this... This is a book... With the assistant of the guy who did the... That's right. It's 400 pages. Uh-huh. Yeah. Then, of course, there's real music. The story of the hard days night world premiere by somebody who was actually there.

Real music. Like... Is that like a play on words? Like, are... Like, real R-E-E-L? Like, real music. Oh, man. Because it's the hard days night movie. No, it's R-E-A-L. You did... So you didn't... That's a great idea though. Oh, man. So what? I'm sorry that... That one alluded you. The... The play on words. You're not gonna steal that from me, are you? I'm not... Well, technically it's my idea, but I'm gonna... I'm gonna let that one slide. Okay, thanks. So who... Thanking you. You know, worthy. Who is actually there for the hard days night movie premiere? The movie premiere? Yeah, at the Hammersmith Palais. Okay. Yeah. Uh-huh. The protectionist. I did a lengthy interview with him on his deathbed. His deathbed. Yeah. A lot of deathbeds. That's when you get the best stuff. And these guys are all about the croak too.

You know, so we gotta get these guys while they're still breathing. Uh-huh. They go to hell. They go to hell. I don't know. Some of these guys have done some insane stuff. Uh-huh. I gotta sit through that stuff to get the juicy bits about the beetles. Uh-huh. What I do is I pretend I'm a doctor. Uh-huh. And then, you know, that I'm there to ask some questions about how their medication is working, their feeling, et cetera. And pretty soon I'm gonna ask them about the nitty gritty about the most beottles. Uh-huh. Yeah. That is the most gruesome thing I've ever heard. Wait, that's exactly what several of the family members have told me. You mean, you said, I'm assuming at a point, you're not asking medical questions anymore. Now you're asking about, was there wondering why some doctor is asking, you know, their uncle or grandfather about what it was like running the projector for the premiere of a hard day. Oh yeah. You got slided in though, you know, you're talking about, about, um, Reginald, how is, um, is the pain medication is, is it, is it working to your satisfaction?

I think it is. Oh, geez. That's great. That's great. Um, can you tell me how many actual regals you had to spool up that night at the pallet, were there any problems that you could think of? Did you have any contact with any of the Beatles? I, I don't remember. And you got to like make that into something a little juicier. Uh-huh. Well, that is, that, that is the most gruesome thing I've ever heard. A guy shaking down people while they're in the hospital posing as a doctor. Oh yeah. So that you can find out some weird, um, some weird little, uh, uh, you know, footnotes about the, about the Beatles history. Oh, you guys show me some respect. Well, I'm just going to say, why should I show you some respect after what you just said you do? Because like I said, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the main Beatles, uh, know it all.

Boss. Number one. Number one. Year boss. Uh-huh. So as a Beatles, somebody who likes to be a, you're my boss. Absolutely. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't think you like a little. You don't, you don't think I like them. Doesn't sound like. Why, why is that? It didn't sound like you deserve to be at that convention. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, were you at the convention? To find it. Were you, were you attending it? Were you in the, uh, in the crowd? Uh, not, not actually in the crowd. No, I was there. Yeah. Okay. Well, why, why were you not in the building? Well, I can't actually go inside the convention, you know, per the order. Well, the order. Yeah. What, please tell me about this order. Well, it, you know, it's not so much a restraining order as, uh, uh, like a restraining suggestion. Yeah. What, what is a restraining suggestion?

Well, basically, this thing says that I have to stay 30 yards away from any and all Beatles conventions in the states of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Kentucky, and also Minnesota. Mm-hmm. And if there ever is one in Puerto Rico, you have to stay 30 yards away. Absolutely. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I think that's what it's like to have to do with the New Jersey Beetle fan organization. Really? Yeah. Like, what, what kind of, uh, negative, negative experience have you had? Well, they, they claim, this is their claim, that I had been selling questionable beetles merchandise, collectibles. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like, what, what falls, what, what would be an example of a questionable, uh, Beatles item? Uh, a hockey stick signed by every member who had ever been in the beetles. A hockey stick. Yeah. That all of the, by everyone who ever was in the Beetle, everybody.

Not just the actual four beetles. Right. Yeah. Going all the way back. Yeah. Just do suckle. Yeah. You got, you, you have a hockey stick where we're selling a hockey stick that had stew sucklefs autograph on it. The original. Yeah. Yeah. It was his first. Mm-hmm. See, here's how this worked. He was a big hockey fan. Who was? Stu. Stu sucklefs. You wouldn't think so just by, you know, his history and, you know, the backbeat film and all that. Yeah. I would be, I'm a little thrown by the, by him being a major hockey fan. Right. Well, a huge fan. Of course, he, he died in 62. Mm-hmm. Love hockey. And he got this stick. Mm-hmm. It was like a goalie stick, a big one. And he signed it somehow. I'm not sure why. I think just because, hey, this is mine. Yeah. Okay. How you'll mark your name on something. Yeah. Yeah. He signed it.

And, you know, he, he passes on. And, uh, this guy in Liverpool, who was a friend of, of the family, it falls into his possession. Mm-hmm. And he ends up getting Pete best to sign it. I don't know why. Uh-huh. And, uh, the stick ends up being bought by Bobby Orr. The hockey player. From the Bruins. Yeah. He also used it. Like, just to practice what he wasn't, you know, he, he wasn't a goalie. Uh-huh. But he would just kind of whack, mm-hmm. Pucks with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he ended up getting all of the Beatles to sign it. Bobby Orr did. Over the years. Yeah. And he hated the Beatles. That was the weird thing. So he hated, Bobby Orr hated the Beatles. But he got them all to sign it. He wanted, he wanted to sign it, uh, and to sign it for his son, who was a big Beatles fan, who also hated hockey. Wow. So that's a real, so the son hated hockey. Yeah. The dad hated the Beatles, but it's like weird Beatles hockey sticks.

Exactly. Yeah, they all hated each other. Uh-huh. Apparently all the Beatles hated Bobby Orr. Really? All they hated him, yeah. Why didn't, why would they hate him? I don't know. I don't know. He would say weird stuff about them being English and stuff and all that. Yeah. He was a bigger fan of the who? Bobby Orr. Yeah. The, that's crazy. Love the who. You know who I love the who? Who? Richard Nixon. I've never heard that. Yes. Um, they, I've heard these tapes. Mm-hmm. You know, the missing 18 minutes of the Watergate tapes? Yeah. From like 70. Yeah. What? Two, 71, 72. You know, it's on there. What? I've never heard that. Oh yeah. It's nuts. Yeah. I played for his son. No. I'm not going to play it for you. Well, that is, well, this is just a series of shocking things that you're saying. You know why they also hate? Yeah. Go ahead to who also hate. Why they also hate me the Beatles convention people here. Why is that? Well, several years ago, you know, as you were talking about these kids were playing

the band, like a town, like a town. Yeah, it was really awesome. Well, yeah, awesome. Sounds similar to something I saw where these kids were, were, were up there and they were doing, um, oh god, what song was it? It was, um, one of the, one of the complete puff songs, um, complete puffs. I want to hold your hand. Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Very terrible. Everyone was just like being completely forgiving of them. Because they weren't very good. It was like 11 year old kids. So I get up in the middle of it. And I just like clamp them down. I grab, I grab each kid's neck of the guitar. Uh-huh. What are you doing? Idiot. You went on stage. Oh, yeah. And you actually, you just interrupted the performance. Oh, yeah. And it sounds like you chewed them out. I did. And I grab each kid by the, by the collar. I had it like, Beatles jackets on. Uh-huh. I grabbed them and I just said, you don't mess with the cannon. No matter how bad that song is, it's not a bad song.

It's not one of the better songs though, you know? Uh-huh. And I shoved them off the stage. And how old were they? Like 11. Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, you deserve to be, uh, kicked out of the convention. Well, I just wish that one kid had an a fake, having a broken leg. Faked it. Are you sure he faked it? He seemed like he faked it. You, you can fake X-rays. I've... Hey, you know those pieces in your closet that you find yourself wearing on repeat? You always reach for them even though you've got a ton of other options. You've got your favorite shirt, your favorite sweater, the perfect pair of pants. These are the things you like wearing and you choose them over and over.

One of my favorite items that I got from Quince, the Flownit Breeze Performance T. This shirt is just so comfortable and so reliable and it fits just right.

Define some. Well, so you broke a kid's leg. I didn't. What did then? I don't know. He tripped as he was making a whole joke about it. I shoved him and he was like, I can like, I'm falling and he fell. And then that's what broke his leg. I guess. Oh, not you shoving him. Douseful. Hey, yeah. You didn't stop by my cart. Your cart over the weekend. Yeah, I don't know what you mean across the street. No, from the convention. Uh-huh. I don't know what you're talking about. Come on. People had to be talking about it inside there. Your cart. Yeah. What kind of cart did you have? My beetle bites cart. Beetle bites. What is a beetle bite cart? Well, I sell beetle themed food. Yeah. Okay. I know what I have.

That no one else in the world has. What's that? I have the worldwide rights to sell beetles wraps. Do you mean wraps like the food or wrap? Yeah. You mean you actually are calling your thing beetle? What are the beetle bites? Beetle bites. Yeah. And these are beetle wraps. Yeah. And they're licensed. Oh, yeah. It's not just you calling a wrap. No. A beetle. I own it. How on earth do you own the best story? Okay. I can't wait to hear this. There's a loophole in the beetles worldwide merchandise contract. And for some reason, they covered everything that could possibly bear their likeness so that they own everything. They own the rights to it all. Guess what fell through those cracks. Beetle wraps. It's great. Yeah. Do you want one? Come on, please. I don't want to eat a beetle wrap.

Eat my wrap. I don't want to eat a beetle wrap. Stop it. Come on, please here. No. Come on. Okay. Oh. What is this? What do you mean? Oh. What is it? First of all, it tastes like it's like I was just going to back up for a whole lot of a second. Yeah. I've got to wash it down. No, that. Let me just back up. Yeah. It looked like John Lennon, the thing. Sure. And I have like a little beetle wig on top. What was that made out of? That's his hair. Yeah. No, I know it.

But it was horrible. Oh. I took two big bites. What was it? It tasted like sweet. Yeah. Something? Yeah. It's black cotton candy. Black cotton candy. Black cotton candy on a wrap. Yeah. Why would you put... Nummy, isn't it? It was all vegetables inside. Yeah. Yeah. But why would you put cotton candy on the top? Well, I couldn't figure out what else to put there, you know, to make the hair. I wasn't going to use real hair. Although I could, I guess. But what was inside that thing? Oh, you're probably tasting the aftertaste of the beets. I put beets in them because it's beetles. Yeah. Hold on. But truth be told, they're not always that fresh. Something was... What was... Well, let me look in here. Yeah, those...

See, they're green. The beets are green. The beets are green. And of course, we all know that beets when they start out, they're green. Yeah. And then they get kind of purply and etc. And then when they start to go bad, they get black. Okay, yeah. And then they turn green again. So you might have gotten them on that green end. Rather than the fresh green end. Well, describe what's happening. Like a churn in my stomach is just like, it's like burning. Right. And like acid, you got like acid stomach, but it's like real acid. Yeah. Like someone poured real acid in there. Yes. Oh, it's almost disgusting. What does your tongue feel like? My tongue? Yeah. It's like a battery dripping on a hot asphalt. You write that down. I haven't heard that one yet. To put that on the... Was it the possible side effects? That was the battery. Did you say it's like you're eating a battery or... No, my tongue feels like the hot asphalt.

Oh, asphalt? Yeah. And there's like battery dripping down on it. Like a battery asphalt. Like a carolange. Yeah, it's perfect. Oh, that was the worst thing I've ever heard. Why would you put a beat in it that was so bad that it actually turned from green to purple to black and back to green? Well, I didn't really have time to really investigate. I didn't really look deeply into the stuff because I just made it back in time for the convention. So, I just threw it all together. Back from where? Antarctica. Antarctica. Yeah. Why were you in Antarctica? Well, another crazy story. I have to... Basically, the legality of this contract states that the only place...

I can actually do this legally from the beetle rack. Exactly. Yeah. With Apple Court. Uh-huh. The only place I can actually have my office and be based is Antarctica. Which is like a wasteland. Well, pretty much, yeah. But I have to have an office there, which I do. It's like a little hut. You have an office in Antarctica. Yes, terrible. But they call. Apple calls once a month to make sure I'm there. And if I don't answer that phone, they shut me down because they want to shut me down so bad. They hate it. They hate that you... Well, I'm sure they do. This is the kind of junk you're pushing out there, like a... Putrid. Some people love it. Who loves this? This thing I just... I took one bite and I feel like I'm dying from it. There was one person who said he liked it, I think. Well, it was disgusting.

So you have an office in Antarctica that you are forced to inhabit once a month. How do you know when to be there or whatever? You know when Apple's going to check in? I have a guy pay this dude at Apple. He doesn't... No one knows he's doing this, but he lets me know when they're going to call. So then I have to book my flight with Quantus. Quantus does one flight a month down there. One flight a month to Antarctica. And they just land in Antarctica? They land there. It's usually just me and some scientists guys or something. And then I'll get off. There's one store down there. It's like a 7-Eleven. Is it like a German one if you heard this thing? No. Zeban under Elben? That's German 7-Eleven. Yeah, yeah. One guy that works here seems chipped. He's not right dude. He stocks my favorite snacks and my favorite reading material. Reading. Okay. I didn't want to know about your reading material.

Yeah, you don't. There's just one magazine. Stop. Have you heard about this magazine? What is it? Here. What? Stop. I don't know if that... You told me... You've heard about this magazine, haven't you? You know we're on the radio. You're going to start thinking about that magazine tonight. I'm not going to think about that. You're going to call me. I've heard enough people come through here and talk about the magazine. Really? I've managed to fend it off. So... Beetle-Milt. Oh, the way you say that made me so mad. It showed such disrespect. And why again am I supposed to respect you? Because I'm practically the fifth beetle. Little Milt. Yeah. I actually once got into a fight with George Harrison's sister about that. About you being my wife. Well, I said I'm the fifth beetle. She screamed. Milt Mortner.

Yeah. Be the fifth beetle. I've never heard your name. I mean... Well, she hadn't either when she screamed. George Martin. That's one thing. That's one thing. If he thinks you know... That guy could be the fifth beetle. That guy's a clown. So his sister... I ruined those records. I do do better on those records. I do my mixes of them. So when did his sister scream when she heard you were the fifth beetle? When I was in her bathroom. What? Yeah. What were you doing in her bathroom? Well, you know, she lives outside of St. Louis. I'm gonna do a little pilgrimage. Uh-huh. And I went to meet her. Yeah? She wasn't home, though. Okay. Yeah. So, naturally you... I wanted to go to the bathroom. Yeah, and that meant... I go into the house. Rather than going to a gas station. There wasn't one that close. There was a couple hundred yards away. Uh-huh. I really had to go that way. Yes. Oh, okay. So you... Naturally, you break into a house. It wasn't so much breaking in.

Uh-huh. No, I didn't break anything. I actually cut a little thing in the screen door. And then what? Reached in and unlocked the door. No, I just walked through the cut. I made the cut pretty big. Okay. Well, you're a pretty big... I wasn't gonna bend over. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah. So I go in there, I'm doing that, and I come out, and she's there. Uh-huh. I said, that was my... You know, long story short, I'm the fifth beetle, and she's screamed. Uh-huh. Well, I'm with her on that one. Oh. You will show me respect. I'm not gonna... You will. Not with these things, you're saying, again, I said earlier, why should I show you respect? And then you start mentioning, because you basically broke into the bathroom of George Martin's sister. George Harrison. George Harrison. Yeah. Uh-huh. You know why you sure changed from respect? Why? Because I'm the guy who drove Danny Lane to the convention. You drove Danny Lane to the convention? Yes.

From... The airport. From the airport. And picked him up. Uh-huh. I would have thought that one of the guys who ran the thing, I think it's like a... Like, is this name Bill or something like that? I think he runs the convention. Why wouldn't he do it? Uh-from what I heard, he flaked. Uh-huh. Yeah, he disappeared or something. I mean, those guys don't... These guys have so little respect for all of it. Sick. I don't know what happened to him. You don't know what happened to the guy... It's that the guy who's running the convention would flake during the biggest weekend of the year. I don't know. I mean, who knows? For all I know, he's... Got thrown into a tunnel or something. Well, that sounded weirdly specific. Why would you say... I don't know. Or like a sewer or something. Uh-huh. Yeah. Again, I'm not following. So, do you know something about why he wasn't there or not? To find no. Uh-huh. Are you responsible for him falling into a sewer?

I didn't make him do anything. I was standing right behind him. And one thing led to another and he fell, I guess, in front of a tunnel. A sewer. Yeah. So, you... Yeah, so you just happened to be there when he fell and then went missing. I don't know. Uh-huh. That's what you're saying. He might still be there for a kid. Uh-huh. Yeah. But, you know, Danny was cool. Danny Lane was cool. He was a decent guy. We really hit it off. Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, that's awesome. But I'll tell you one thing. What's that? I did not cut him any slack, you know. I... I... I grilled him. I really did. You grilled Danny Lane? Yeah. I asked him some really hard-nosed questions. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Like, what kind of stuff? Excuse me? Like, you... Like... What... What did you ask him? Oh, um...

You know, stuff like, um... I asked him why he stuck with McCartney so long if he felt he was being ripped off. Uh-huh. Also, why his guitar playing is not that great on back to the egg. Uh-huh. Why he hasn't really done much since he left links. Wow. Did you... You asked him all those questions. God, no. Are you kidding? What are you nuts? Hold on a second. Well, what... You just said... You just said... Did you ask him all the hard-nosed questions? No. I thought you said what questions were you terrified to ask him and would never, ever, ever ask him? I must have misunderstood you. Yeah. That sounds like a pretty big misunderstanding. The, uh, the going from... I asked you, you were like, I didn't go easy on. Am I asking something? And that will send it's like, oh, I... How could you make a mistake like that that you thought that's what I said?

I guess I was... I was thinking... I don't know, I guess I lost... I wasn't paying attention to what you're saying. I was actually thinking about that drive and I'll be honest, I was really spooked. You were spooked being in the car with Denny Lane. Yeah, I mean, it's... He's one of the big ones, you know. Yeah. I actually started filming at the mouth. In the car. I was driving, yeah. And I... So he gets out... He gets into the car. It's into the car. And everything's kind of cool at first. And then, you know, then the gravity hits me up, who I'm with. You know, and... I got the power going on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. That's the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mouth was wired shut or something. I started foaming. I'm trying to look away. Uh-huh. So he can't see the foam. Yeah. I think he sees the foam. And then, like, to kind of break the ice, I have this... I have a... Listen to the man picture, sleep. Seven interesting. Yeah, yeah. And from Guatemala... And I pick it up, but I want to get him to sign it. And I kind of...

I kind of show it to him, but I drop it. Mm-hmm. And it drop between his legs. Mm-hmm. And I reached over, like, in between his legs, to pick it up. Yeah. And he must have thought I was making some kind of move on him or something. Uh-huh. And then he punched me in my hands. He punched you in your hands. Yeah, well, I'm driving. Who does that? Uh-huh. Who punches someone in the hands while they're driving? Well, who... Who... Fair enough. That's a fair point. I'm going to say also who punches... I mean, who punches is a fair enough question? Who starts foaming at the mouth while pulling out some picture sleeve? And then kind of just start, like, while driving? I'm going to still decide with Danny Lane on this one. I hate that. I hate you. Uh-huh. Well, I'm sorry you hate me. I just... I think you run a pretty shady... You're working a pretty shady corner of this whole thing. You're like all these beetle creeps.

Uh-huh. They don't... They don't dig me because I know the stuff that they don't know. Like, let's talk about my new book, all right? You have a new book, kind of. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Not the white album book or the book on the... The re-talk to the projectionist of... Of... So dismissive. I don't like it. Of, uh, Hard Day's Night. No. This is the bomb. The bomb. Yep. Yep. It's called Agoblob. What is the name of your book? Agoblob. Agoblob. Yeah. What? What? What is Agoblob? Well, it stands for this. Are you ready? Yeah. Amazing. A Grade A Beetles lid blower. Amazing. Yeah. A Grade A Beetles lid blower. Yeah. Agoblob. Yeah. What a... What a... What a colossally stupid title. I just have to say, I'm...

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Agoblob. Well, we'll just have to... Greed to disagree on that. Mm-hmm. But, uh, you know, it's the book, none of these Beetles zombies want you to read. Mm-hmm. What, why is that? Well, if it's stuff they don't know about. Uh-huh. They're embarrassed when I unleash this stuff. And they're like, I didn't know that. Did that happen? So you're just... This is why they're mad at it. Absolutely, yeah. My publisher is really excited. You're... who's publishing this book? Uh, Nexus? Nexus. Yeah. I'm not familiar with Nexus publishing. Oh, yeah. It's a big house, you know. A big, I don't know Nexus. They do lots of titles. Very diverse kind of books. You know, everything from self-help books. Some textbooks. A lot of memoirs, uh, this book called Mind Comfort 2, the continuing adventures of Adolf F. Uh-huh. Uh, uh, home repair books. Hold on.

Wait, can we just back up a second? What, what was that book you said? Well, there's a lot of memoirs. No, uh, I'm gonna say after you mention the memoirs. The self-help books. No. Keep going. Oh, the home repair books. No, there's another one in there. I think you know which one I'm talking about. Oh, the textbook, uh, about the math stuff? No, not the textbook about the math stuff. The other book you mentioned. Oh, Mind Comfort 2? Yeah, Mind Comfort 2. The continuing, what was it? The continuing adventures of Adolf H. Uh-huh. Yeah. But I've never heard of, I mean, Adolf H. Yeah. Who, this is not real, is it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Totally real. It's real. Oh, yeah, yeah. So he wrote a sequel to Mind Comfort? Yeah, I guess so, yeah, yeah.

How big is this? Is it like taken from quotes or letters he wrote? I think so, yeah. Uh-huh. It's very accurate. I think it's like a thousand pages or something. Yeah.

This book, did you write this book, by any chance? I don't remember. You don't remember if you wrote, if you wrote, mine comp 2. Which sounds like a total hose job to kind of get people like sickos to get them to who want to read more about Hitler. And what other, this nexus publishing. You mentioned some self-help books and some memoirs and stuff. Do you know any of the authors of those other books? Let me think. There's some very respected authors, Dr. Milton Smith. A funny self-help guy. Milti L. Tompkins.

And then there's mathematician Morton Miller. And then also this Dr. Morton Miller. Which I'm noticing, Milt seems to be a common theme through all those things. Well, I make the same point. I know that a very popular name in I think in Vietnam is Nguyen. Okay, so that's a common name. The common Vietnamese name. Milt is not a common name in, or Milton is not a common name in the English language. Why are you trying to steer this away from the actual lid blowing this of this book? Well, there's a shady quality to this whole thing from mine.com to to Dr. Milton, whatever. And Milti something. I don't see it. I don't see it. You don't see it.

It feels right to me. It feels all right to you. Yeah. I just, well, okay. Fair enough. Let's talk about something from one of the, from this book, Agile Blub. Which is again, amazing. A grade A Beatles lid blower? Yes. Agile Blub. Yeah. Well, as the title implies, it's a lid blower. Okay. So what kind of stuff is in this lid blower? Okay. You know, the, of course, the Alan Parsons project stuff. Alan Parsons was an engineer, I believe, on late era Beatles stuff on Abby Rowell. Absolutely. Yeah. And, uh, little known fact, the Beatles actually got back together in 1977 to back him up on his album, My Robot. Oh, I'm sorry. The Beatles. Yeah. The, all four Beatles. Absolutely.

Yeah. Played on an Alan Parsons project. All of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On the entire record. Yeah. They loved his music. It was nuts. That was the one thing that they all agreed on that they loved was Alan Parsons. Really? Yeah. They were really jealous of him, especially Paul. He was, Paul was jealous of Alan Parsons. Yeah. Paul actually tried to kill him. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah. See, Paul always wanted the Beatles to be an all instrumental band. Okay. I would never heard any of them. Oh, yeah. And he thought that this tune, Nucleus of a Viralbot, was the greatest instrumentally, never heard. Mm-hmm. And he thought that's what the Beatles should have been doing. He was like, if I had written that, we'd still be together. And they all kind of agreed on that. Yeah. That this song, Nucleus. Yeah. Yeah. It was like the gold standard. Oh, yeah. And they were also trying to get Alan to tour for Irohbot. Mm-hmm. But he wasn't into it. He wasn't having any of it. Mm-hmm. Because he didn't think that they could sing well enough.

Alan Parsons didn't want the Beatles. No. He could have had the reunited Beatles touring on a thing and decided against that because he did not think their vocals were up to snuff. Yeah. He ended up getting a couple of the guys from the two-way army. Mm-hmm. The kids is Gary Newman's band. Yeah. So he... I have tapes of all this stuff. So, Nucleus. Hold on. So you mean to say that Alan Parsons had a shot at the reunited Beatles. Backing him up on a tour. But he decided to go with two dudes from Gary Newman's band. No. He went with three dudes. Two-way dummy. Those guys were good though. Uh-huh. Two-way army. Yeah. I don't think George Harrison could have played that... that key to our stuff. You know, as well as... As well as somebody in the two-way army could have...

Yeah. Well, that's... That's fantastic. What other... What other lid blowers do you have in this book? Well, you know how Ringo does his All-Star band every couple of years or so. Those tours that he does. Yeah. The All-Star where he gets different people to back him up and they all play their hits. Yeah. And he's got everybody in there from like Todd Rungren to... I think Rick Danko to... ...Unit Joe Walsh, you name it. John Antwaffle, I think. Yeah. Silly-ee. That came about completely... Uh-uh... ...as a last resort. The original All-Star band. See, in 1993... Mm-hmm. He wanted to go on tour Ringo. Okay. He wanted to go on tour... ...with the murder junkies as his backing band. The murder... G.G. Allen's band. Yeah. The murder junkies. He wanted to back up... ...he wanted them to be his backup band.

Yeah, when he, you know, he felt bad. Uh-huh. ...that G.G. Allen, their leader, had passed on earlier than me. Yeah. It was the tragedy. Yeah. It's getting a concert and I think he passed away that night. I think he had done a concert, like a New York concert. Yeah. I think it was at a place called the gas station. Was it called? I think it was called the gas station. I don't think it was an opera house. Well, anyway, he was a big fan and he wanted to, you know, is it paying it forward? When you do a favor for yourself? Yes. Okay, yeah. Not paying it forward. Without paying it forward. Okay, so he wanted that and, you know, the band was going to be... It was going to be... Those guys had also a couple of guys from Ante scene. Yeah. Yeah. Another kind of... Yeah. Really? Yeah, it was going to be called Ringo Stars Scum Bleep Orchestra. Oh, I don't like that at all. Yeah, no one really did. Yeah. And I guess all the guys got into a big argument over food. Yeah.

Who's going to eat the... Who's going to get the most food? Food. He wasn't paying them in money. Uh-huh. He was food. So he's paying these guys the murder junkies in food. Yeah. Yeah. So then that fell apart the last minute and he ended up getting, I guess, Todd Rungrid and Nero. Uh-huh. Whoever else was in that? All right. Yeah. I've never... Oh, yeah. I've never heard that. It's crazy. Here's one about you having her either. What's that? The Beatles. Mm-hmm. Recorded an unreleased version of Abbey Road. An unreleased track from Abbey Road? A completely unreleased version of it. Yeah. How... How so? Well, you know, everybody... You know, the egos involved in this at this point were just insane. Sure. The band was definitely splitting up. Yeah. So everybody wanted to be represented to their most... Visible... Uh-uh. The most... Visible extreme. Okay. So everybody kind of wanted to be the leader at this point.

Mm-hmm. So what they agreed upon was everybody would play every instrument and sing every song at the same time. Let me just process that. You're... You mean all four Beatles? Yes. So would each play the full... Like, they would... What? Sing for each track. Each guy... And they would stack the tracks on top of one another. Yeah. So... Ringle playing the drums. Yeah. John playing the drums. Uh-huh. George playing the drums. Paul playing the drums. Yeah. It's one track. It's all together. Just like a mishmash of... Different... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. George playing the bass. Yeah. Ringle playing the bass. Stacked. Every song was like that guitar. Keyboards. Every instrument that was played on every song... I've never heard of it. Had to be played by each guy and it was all combined for every song...

horrendous. Yeah. It sounds terrible. Can you imagine Ringle playing Lee Guitar on I Want You? He couldn't play the guitar. Uh-huh. No. Wow. It's terrible. But they still recorded the whole thing that way. Absolutely. Yeah. I've never heard of that. I never came out. I have it. Uh-huh. You have it. Uh-huh. They're played for you. Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Well... Farron, I might not want to hear it. I know what you're doing here. What? This fact about the Pete Best. This is an LB. And it's best. The guy who was the drummer. Oh, I'm intended. Uh-huh. The guy who was the drummer before Ringle. The guy who was the drummer. Show him some respect. He's still out there doing it. Playing live. Every night. Smacking those drums. Okay. Of course, with the help of two other drummers. Farron, I apologize to... Why am I apologizing? Because that's what you should be doing. Uh-huh. Okay. Neither here nor there. Pete Best. Yeah. You said you had some...

I have an LB on him. Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, you know, everyone always says he was kicked out of the Beatles because he wasn't the great drummer. Mm-hmm. It's not true. He was the best musician of all those guys. I've never heard of him. Absolutely. He's the best. He's the best. He's showing and not a play that gets to our... Never playing for you. Okay. Again, again. I kind of don't want to... Well, here's why he got kicked out. He scared those guys. Pete Best spooked him. Spooked him bad. How did Pete Best spook the other Beatles? He was a spy. A spy. Like, what do you mean a spy? He was a spy for British intelligence. Uh-huh. Yeah. And how... I've never heard that. Oh, yeah. So how did that impact him being a member of the Beatles? Well, they came to rehearse one day at his mother's place where they rehearsed and live with full. And they open the door and basically Pete Best is murdering

a Russian agent. So the Beatles walk in on Pete Best? Yeah, and he's strangling this Russian guy. Yeah. So that's... Well, that would scare you with that, of course. Yeah. These are sensitive guys, too. Yeah. They're musicians. So that's why he got kicked out of the Beatles. Because he scared them. They saw him murdering a Russian spy. Absolutely, yeah. Well, I've heard none of these things. Oh, yeah. Last step you haven't heard. You know, it's like, you're like all these other guys. You know, I'm pushing the limits of a Beatles. You know? Okay. Everyone's just like selling calendars and t-shirts and things. I'm cracking this wide open. Like, how are you cracking it wide open? Well, for starters, I am basically the owner of the first Beatles house. What is a Beatles house? I'm selling it. Okay.

Yeah. I don't know any. I've never heard of a Beatles house. Hang on. I'm going to put it on your laptop. Real quick. Yep. Check this out. All right. Let it load real quick. There it is. All right. Here we go. What is this? That's the Beatles house. What is this? That's the Beatles house. I don't even know what I'm looking at. It's like a house with a... Like, it's like a normal house, but it just says... There's the Beatles logo on all the walls. Well, click in the bedroom there.

It's like a bedroom. Yeah. What's on the walls? It just says the Beatles. Yeah. Over and over again. And it doesn't even look... I mean, it looks like one of those cheap, stencil kind of things that you do with spray paint. Hey, you're hurting my feelings. It's been a long time to do that. To do what? To make the stencil. To make the... Yeah. And spray paint it. Uh-huh. So this is what makes us a Beatles house. Yes, it does. Uh-huh. And how much are you selling this house for? $4 million. What's that? $4 million. $4 million. Yes. And where is this house located? It's in New Bridge. Uh-huh. What neighborhood? I don't need to get into that. Is it a good neighborhood? To find good. Well, what's the crime situation around it? There's no crime at all. Yeah. No crime at all. No. Uh-huh. There's no people there either. Okay. Other neighbors. Uh-huh. It's the last house still standing before the stink pit kind of...

It's where the stink pit stopped. You know, when it opened up. Sure. And it took all those houses. Swallowed a lot out. And then it made them stinky. Yeah. And then it was still there. So it's on like the stink line in town? Absolutely. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stink line heights. That's where it is. Uh-huh. You know, I'm gonna smash you. What? You know why? Why? I don't like you. You're not showing me respect. Uh-huh. And I'll tell you one thing. Uh-huh. You're gonna be longing for yesterday when I'm done with you. Oh, that's like a Beatles play on words. It is, yeah. Uh-huh. You know why? Because yesterday you didn't have a broken neck. Oh, so you're now you're just into full threats. That's not a threat. That's a fact. So you're... Because I'm challenging you on these things. First of all, let me just back up. You're not a good person. I'm a great person. I gotta say, you're a horrible person. I'm defending myself.

You know what? You're harassing people on their deathbeds. Well. Some old guy who ran the projection. Can you name anyone to talk to? Uh-huh. Yeah. So, but you're posing as a doctor while you do it. He seemed happy when he was talking to me. You're shoving an 11-year-old. I got him cigarettes too. Uh-huh. Who's that? The projectionist. Oh. Yeah. Well, that's not admirable. But I think you're talking about shoving an 11-year-old. You're talking about breaking into George Martin's sister's house. Well. Just all these things. Hey, you know what? What? When I'm done with you. Yeah. You're gonna wish you were back in the USSR. I can't wait to hear this one. You know why? Why? Because they have socialized medicine there. Yeah. And you can get your broken leg set for free. Well, that like, we're pretty much at that point here now, I guess. What's that? What does the socialized medicine? Yep. Thanks. I didn't vote for the guy. Who's that cat? Obama.

Cat in the White House. Uh-huh. Yeah, the cat in the White House. You know what this thing means. I think we all know this. I mean, you've heard this stuff, right? For the health bill? Yeah. What? You've heard what's going on, right? Yeah, I heard it passed. Well, besides the death panels, you know. Uh-huh. Which is fiction. No, it's not. Uh-huh. No, it's not. You know what's happening? What? Congressman. Congress people, senators, governors. They're going to medical school right now. What? Why is that? So they can perform surgeries. I don't follow what you're saying. They are. It's like double dipping for them. So that's part of the health bill? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I went to the doctor the other day. Mm-hmm. And I was like, I was kind of groggy. I had had some medicine. Mm-hmm. And I look up and it's my congressman. He's prepping me for surgery. He's like, getting out of here. No, this is an exaggerate. No, it's true. No. All right, that last part didn't actually happen, but I read about it.

Because there's the whole thing people are saying, you don't want the government running your health program. Right. I don't. Yeah. But you're saying that the literally government officials... Oh, yeah. They're going to surgery school, yeah. Surgery school. They're going to cut you open. Really? Yeah. How are you going to feel when you're about to go into surgery and you look up and it's Barbara Boxman. You know, with their mask on. Uh-huh. Hell Inspector. Bar boxer. Who's that? Barbara Boxer. What's that? You said Boxman. It's Boxman. Yeah, it's Boxer. I won't agree to disagree on that. Have you even read the bill? The health. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I haven't. Yeah, thanks, though. You have? That parts of it, yeah. Yeah. You what parts? Sounds like you've read some pretty fictional parts of it. I've read it online, yeah. Mm-hmm. The where online. On this website, I have a frequent. Uh-huh. What website is that?

RepublicanTimes.org. Oh, that's where you got the lowdown on the health bill. That's where I get my stuff. So a completely biased site. For your information, it was actually voted least biased site, according to a survey. The RepublicanTimes.org was voted the least. I've never heard this. Where did you find this survey on a website? Uh-huh. Yeah. What site? RepublicanTimes.org. So, okay, so there's survey. Yeah. Now, you know, I just want to back up to something you had mentioned. Ellen Parsons? No. Earlier then the Alan. You mentioned you came up here because you were on a Beatles prowl. Yeah. What is a Beatles prowl? Like you out? What do you think it is? It because you were in the night. I would assume you're looking for merchandise like collectibles

and my people having their addicts or stuff. Well, I'm looking in some addicts, but I'm actually looking more into some windows. No. A Beatles. So you're looking in windows. Yeah. Why is that a Beatles prowl? Well, because I have Beatles on my Walkman. Your Walkman. Yeah, between you and me. Basically, that's what it is. I'm walking around with my Walkman. I'm wearing all black as you can see. And I'm looking in windows. That's incredible stuff. That's, I don't want to know. You're a milked, you are a horrible person. No, I'm not. No, don't tell anybody about this, okay? Because I don't want my wife finding out. About Beatles prowls? Yeah. Well, you're talking on the radio. Wait, what? What? I'm on the air, am I? Of course you are. Why didn't you tell me? You said, I said, talk into that microphone when you came in. You said, yeah, this is like the cover of Let It Be.

I thought this was like some sort of play or something. I don't know what I thought it was. A play. Yeah. Like talk radio. So you thought you called into a play? No, I knew that was a radio station. Yeah. But then I got confused. When I saw this, I thought it was like talk radio. No, you're on the... Eric Gluzian. No, you're on the radio. Oh, my family will get shot now. Like Eric, no, that's... Or maybe you're going to get shot. Oh, I don't like that. Where's he going? He actually just walked out. Wow. That was crazy. Hey, Mike. What's he... is that him? He's looking in the window. What are you doing?

What? He's on the... So that's what the Beatles prowl is like, I guess. To see that guy. Oh, goodness. Goodness gracious.
