    00:36 – looks like Scott last joined us back in Episode 129! Sheesh!
    01:26 – our tenth season, right? But Season 9 feels like a writers’ strike season, since we did so few episodes. Or maybe an AMC season.
    01:31watch the documentary and get the lowdown on that “shadows tall” line in the show notes for Episode 98
    03:32 – apparently Schmoe thinks Caseville is like Brigadoon
    03:47Cheeseburger in Caseville (and another link to our 2006 videos)
    03:56 – No. In 2006 and 2007.
    06:15 – a callback to Mike and Schmoe’s Mexican vacation, which was discussed in Episode 69A
    09:12 – which would be August 14
    10:07 – the Freep‘s Cheeseburger in Caseville article, from August 5
    10:44the article as sent to Mickey by Mike, in PDF format
    11:29 – yes, all this time Scott has been absorbed in reading the Tom Corcoran book Mike brought for show-and-tell

    25:41 – here’s Schmoe’s photo, sent way back on the morning of July 31. We saved it for the podcast rather than posting it on Twitter; little did we know how long it would take till we got around to discussing it.

Schmoe’s Momentous Discovery
(the St Louis bottle is on the right)

    And here’s what Schmoe wrote to accompany the photo. We assume he was drunk.

Where is YOUR Landshark From?


To my fellow Shark lovers,
When Mick enlightened me this week that I had Landshark at Nate’s party that was from St Louis, I realized I look numerously at the ‘Jacksonville’ on the label and never saw another city. I checked it out and, YES, I had Sharks from both cities in the Cantina Icebox. Not only that, but the St Louis bottle is a shorter longneck. The St Louis brew was a full case I purchased. The Jacksonville lager was personally delivered inside a 12 pack per usual. (Still, Zodiac considers our beer an ‘import’, but I digress…)
I conducted a taste test last night. They both rated the same: wet, cold, smooth, lime-friendly, relaxing, and an excellent finish with a high chill factor.
I provided a photo for reference.
End of report…for now…….

    43:18 – will Scott find Margaritaville Rum at Meijer’s? Stay tuned…

  1. You don’t know Tom Corcoran? He co-wrote some songs (Fins, for one..) with Buffett and is supposedly an old friend.

    I greatly enjoyed his novels and ‘The Key West Years..
