I've grown up in similar ways as you, uh...

I've grown up in similar ways as you have through comedy, such as The Big Gig with the Doug Anthony All Stars and Jim Óan and Greg Fleet, Flacco, Lanie and Woodley, Bob Franklin, the DJing crew, and so many more.

I can understand you taking a break for yourself, but I want to pass on how much I've appreciated not only your comedic material over such a long time, but more recent times the way your show has..." Uh, sorry.

[laughs]

Uh, a songwriting work tape from the Rubber Soul sessions in the middle of '65 that was, of course, never released.

It was just Paul McCartney and John Lennon working up a brand-new song called Day Tripper, kind of introducing it to each other and trying to work out some of the parts before they show it to the rest of the band.

So yeah, it's weird.

We got this brand-new Beatles track from 61 years ago.

But, uh, any case, I'm gonna read you, I'm gonna quote from the press release, 'cause I, I think it's important to understand what it is we just heard.

And rather than me summarizing it for you, let's just get to the nuts and bolts.

Quote, "This fascinating work tape captures John Lennon and Paul McCartney developing the song together at John's home, Kenwood, in Weybridge, Surrey.

Originally inspired by an old folk song John had written the previous month, the session reveals the pair at their most playful, with plenty of laughter and spontaneous moments.
