Part 1 originally published March 26, 2022

What’s more exciting that March Madness? March Fabness, of course! You don’t need to be Jay Bilas (or South Pacific’s Luther Billis - #RayWalston) to play along with Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey, as they dramatically determine the 2022 Fifth Beatle Champion! Also, if your whole office isn’t playing along with us, they have failed and you should quit your jobs immediately. Seriously, where are your priorities?

Round one is filled with stunning, Cinderella-story upsets on the road to the title, and along the way, Beatleworld’s Jim Pantz (#HelloFriends) and Steve Weirdo debate:

📻 Was Marsha Albert her generation’s Marcia Raubach? Related: who the f are these people?

🤮 What’s more offensive: the original “Yesterday…and Today” cover, or the limited, U.S. “Two Virgins” cover with nude Dave Dexter?

 𝄢 If Stuart Sutcliffe had only lived to meet Meghan Trainor, would he be more or less about that bass?

Download your bracket here and play along! Play with us, or play with yourself! The UBP doesn’t believe in the whole “you’ll go to hell if you do” thing; hell is a construct made up to keep people in line in lieu of developing one’s own moral compass and you know what this isn’t the time or place for this we’ll do our religion episode in 2038.

Part 2 originally published April 2, 2022

Cue the synth brass and Yamaha DX7, it’s The Final Countdown to One Shining Moment; two songs definitely not written by John Tesh. Or were they?

Buckle up for part two of March Fabness, where a sweet sixteen of important figures across the Beatles universe battle it out for the 2022 Fifth Beatle Championship! Awesome, baby!

The matchups are intense. Neil or Klaus? Mark or Marcia? Derek or The Dominoes? Rule of threes, or just keep going?

Plus, Tony, T.J., and Producer Casey consider:

 😸 Which 1980’s classic cartoon cat are you: Garfield, or Stucliffe?

 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Guess Who loves The Music Man?

 👶🏻 How do you like your Nirvana: 7” or Cassingle?

Break out the tortilla chips and lotion, standard snacks for NCAA games, or maybe the tortillas are a regional thing? (Guess) who cares, it’s time to reveal the 2022 Fifth Beatle Champion!
