▶ 3:10:22 Ben Gilbert Like, what if it was a requirement to be releasing a new pop song in the market that it was better than Hey Jude, or better than Here Comes the Sun?

▶ 2:48:11 David Rosenthal The first was the Revolution ad with the Beatles that they did for the Air Max.

▶ 8:10 Ben Gilbert But why is it that Taylor Swift is bigger than the Beatles?
▶ 8:14 Ben Gilbert Like, would the Beatles have had this much demand, too, when the only promotion that existed was from the labels in a sort of, like, the labels pick the winners, and then those are the winners world?
▶ 8:46 David Rosenthal I think there also is a lot more demand for Taylor than there was for the Beatles.

▶ 2:07:15 David Rosenthal Beatles are number one.
▶ 2:36:12 Ben Gilbert I can't recommend strongly enough the Beatles documentary.

▶ 2:36:53 Ben Gilbert I think for the first hour of it, I was just spending, like, being in a state of shock that I was just hanging out in a room informally with the Beatles.
