The Colbear Report

    Normally we’d put these Buffett mentions at the end of a podcast episode, but this one’s a bit too visual. Here’s a clip from Tuesday’s The Colbert Report (July 15 2014):

Episode 192: Dealing With a Third Leg

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, July 9 2014 (10:30 – 11:30 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Gibraltar MI
    “Latest news, Comerica plans, and the last two concerts from the second leg of the tour.

    “It’s a Thing” was in the running for show title, but it was deemed to be too much like Episode 183.
    This year’s TV commercial.
    “Buffett’s restaurant in Waikiki to close”, at Buffett News. “Jimmy Buffett’s at The Beachcomber in Hawaii to Close”, at Buffett World.
    “Buffett Files to Trademark ‘Coral Reefer’”, at Buffett World.
    Here’s a clip of “Summer Overture” from that Margaritaville TV capture (matching the concert montage edit). (Look here for the complete concert video.)

    The new location of my old Mickey’s Audio Island site, which, yes, I admit, really needs to be revamped and updated.
    As for Chicago, Jimmy’s a cappella “Oh my lordy” preceded “Too Drunk to Karaoke”; as you can kind of tell, the “Mac McAnallius” followed “Little Martha”.
    Schmoe’s favorite caption, as seen in our WAOTNC Photo Gallery.
    Interview with Paul Sabourin from the A Bit of a Chat with Ken Plume podcast. Get your potential band names from Wikipedia’s Girl Scout Cookies entry. The complete “Buffett Night (Tonight I’m a Parrothead)” song can be found on Paul & Storm’s 2005 album Opening Band. (Get it from Amazon [US]. Get it from iTunes [US].)

Episode 191: Terra di Tre Vulcani

Show Notes:
Recorded Monday, June 30 2014
    “A mini-episode, covering the first part of the second leg of the tour.

    Yes, Latin would be more appropriate; but I liked Italian better.
    “Buffett’s new Beverly Hills home”, via Buffett News | “Buffett Purchases Beverly Hills Home”, via Buffett World.
    Jimmy’s Tonight Show interview segment (via YouTube), plus Volcano, Jolly Mon, and Margaritaville (via NBC.com)
    Margaritaville.com’s Live at the Drive-In page
    A seamless edit at 3:27, don’t you think?
    The “Swampgatorville” mention is from a much earlier introduction but I liked the sound of it enough to crudely jam it into the “Down on the Corner” intro

Episode 190: Daily Unadulterated Nap

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, June 11 2014 (10:00 – 11:00 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Gibraltar MI
    “In this episode, clips from the last two shows of the first leg of the new tour. Not in this episode, Schmoe and Mike scratch off their Escape to Margaritaville lottery tickets. (Cameos by Tori, Daniel, and Fiona.)

Episode 189: The Heatre of the Mind

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, May 28 2014 (10:30 – 11:30 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Gibraltar MI
    “Mickey shows off his Margaritaville Audio headphones, the guys look at the setlist of the new tour, including highlights from the first two shows, and Schmoe begins the Roger Clyne podcast at 28:48 and has visions of patio heaters.

    Note: the clips of “Into the Mystic” and WDWGDAS were edited for time..

Episode 188: Winds Chill Our Watering Hole

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, May 14 2014 (10:30 – 11:00 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Gibraltar MI
    “Back at Joe’s Prime Time, with highlights of the final two “Songs from St Somewhere” concerts and, if that isn’t enough, Mike will let you know how cold he is. Repeatedly.

    The title might be a little obscure but I got tired of trying to work out appropriate puns on License to Chill and Banana Wind.

Episode 187: Pre-Sale Postgame

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, April 30 2014 (10:45 – 11:45 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Our annual ticket-buying adventures and the first two 2014 concert montages. (Cameo by Jennifer.)

    Evidently all RCPM posters were signed, but only a special one got defaced.

BONUS: 2014 TV Ad

    Just discovered this has been sitting on my DVR since Saturday, May 3. It was aired during Saturday Night Live. As with last year’s, it’s a standard-def ad, which I resized to remove the window-box matting.

Comerica Park Parrothead Tailgate 2013

    At last, we’ve edited last year’s video footage for this little snapshot of tailgating outside the 2013 concert at Comerica Park, Detroit MI. Recorded Saturday, July 20, you can see many of the things we discussed in Episodes 178 and 179: our steak and lobster lunch, the limo ride, drunk chicks, the glitter stand, the confetti cannon, and the Jackson Browne fan next to Mike’s wife.


    Update (May 3): I discovered an unfortunate flash cut in the video, which I’ve removed. I also tweaked a couple other shots, and the above video has been replaced with the revised one.
    Also, the video is also available on our Vimeo page. I haven’t decided if it looks better or not, but you can judge for yourself below:
