This episode reminded me that what I probably like most about your show is your enthusiasm for what you play — how 75% of what you play is followed by “isn’t that great? I love that.”

I’m also obviously the only person with solo Paul taste because that other stuff sucked 😂

When you said you can’t help picturing Paul’s big annoying smile when you hear those songs - I FELT SEEN.

Paul has the best scream

Haha you make a great case! I love many Paul songs but he’s just straight up CORNY all too often.

Great episode. Lots of laughs. Though of course this is no laughing matter. I do like this tune “New” off his 2013 album of the same name. I think I heard it on the short-lived Pete Holmes show Crashing. Now of course it sounds like the phony work of a craftsman, but I still like it. Great melody, nice horns. Maybe obvious lyrics, but nice. Maybe give a listen once you’re in a better state of mind.

I asked my parents, who are massive Beatles fans if they had any Paul songs that they would go to the mat for and there was a long pause and a “let me think about it.”

Loving the Paul ep so far (and heartily, thoroughly agree w your position(s)), but must point out that Piggies is a George song.

Omg that is a major error!! I’ve had it in my head forever that that’s a Paul song. Crazy.

Many other Paul songs would have illustrated my point! Thank for pointing it out. I’m utterly mortified.

“Hello Goodbye” is where I go for a full-on Paul is vapid meltdown.
