Yikes! Looks like no shows for October.
We got distracted by Detroit Tigers’ post-season baseball, to be honest, and even though they generously bowed out of the World Series as quickly as possible, tonight is Halloween and we’ll be too busy eating the candy we’re supposed to be handing out.
High hopes for November, though.

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, September 19 2012 (10:30 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“Back at Zodiac for Talk Like a Pirate Day and the boys share pirate jokes and discuss the Indy, Cincy, and AC concerts. (Cameos by Scott and Todd. Special guests: Joe Maj, Annie, and Jennifer.)”
00:00 – the baseball game capturing everyone else’s attention is the Detroit vs Oakland. (The Tigers won, 6-2.)
01:41 – it’s the “m’north” that really sells it
02:14 – JoeMaj sounds more like Popeye, which would make him a sailor man instead of a pirate
02:25 – obligatory Wikipedia link to scurvy
05:10 – “Margaritaville” with Jimmy Buffett and The BaHa Brothers, from YouTube
05:23 – “Buffett Performs in Newport RI”, from Buffett News
05:35 – “The Richest Lead Singers in the World”, from CelebrityNetWorth.com
14:42 – we didn’t see word about a video till Buffett World mentioned it in April 2013
23:42 – you’d think Jennifer would know better than to have an intimate conversation with a recording device at the other end of the table. I tried to edit around the more personal details, but you can probably still make out what she’s saying – even though you shouldn’t be listening to that side of the recording anyway! It’s personal!
25:19 – the “Raiders of the Lost Ark controversy”: I can understand Annie’s never having seen Raiders, but she says she’s never even heard of it
26:59 – oh, but that movie she’s seen
We’re back at Zodiac Racquet Club, having fun with the Cinegram app.
Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, August 22 2012 (10:00 PM – 11:00 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Brownstown MI
“More stories from Comerica Park, an in-depth discussion of the Detroit setlist, and this year’s (brief) tailgate podcast. (Cameo by Annie [and Sarah].)”
03:51 – track one on Pat Benatar’s Seven the Hard Way
04:12 – Mike’s off-key “Fire away” is deliberate. He’s making fun of an old and tone-deaf college room mate.
06:30 – again, my concert and tailgate photos are at Flickr
10:00 – and again, the concert and tailgate video was posted earlier
20:33 – it’s not from our concert, but here’s “CILCIA” video roll from Cincinnati
20:48 – I guess I bored Annie enough that she put her head down and took a nap
23:15 – check for yourself
26:22 – not sure why I never noticed that before since this was not the first time they’d done it
29:54 – Little Caesar’s (a non-paid non-commercial non-endorsement)
32:49 – my videos of both performances were posted below: Lionel’s and Jimmy’s. An official video from that night is also available at iTunes.
36:15 – oh me of little faith. The Tigers did get into the World Series this year …and got shutout in four games
36:57 – he did it three shows later, in Atlantic City (August 4 2012)
43:50 – as seen on the Margarillas Facebook page:

44:18 – Cheli’s Chili, Detroit
48:46 – using the Stream to Me app, which has been obsoleted now that iCloud is available (so they say)
54:18 – no, why would Schmoe have seen it. It was only posted on his own website two weeks ago!
Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, August 8 2012 (10:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time, Brownstown MI
“Our big Detroit concert podcast! So big it had to be split into two parts! (Cameo by Hud.)”
Photos of the day are at Flickr.
My video of the tailgating is at YouTube.
06:35 – “second lowest”: second highest of course. Maybe I meant to say “next lowest”
07:48 – my tweet (previously posted below). By the way, Jimmy, the baseball stadium is “Co-mer-ica” Park (named after Comerica bank) and the football stadium is Ford Field.
19:37 – now I’m showing my own ignorance (…again). I never put steak sauce on a burger so I have always assumed, till just this moment, that Jimmy’s mention of “Heinz 57” had to be as ketchup for those “french fried potatoes” of his. (And despite Jimmy talking about it at length during the Episode 153 concert roundup that I edited.)
21:44 – from Listener Wally’s Facebook page:

27:29 – NERD! (It’s a reference to the Doctor Who Series 6 episode “The Wedding of River Song”.)
27:29 – ex-or-bi-tant … not, “sorbet”
37:50 – Google says the distance is 37 minutes (at 30.7 miles)
39:20 – here’s the link to the Flickr set again; and here’s a photo of the limo gang and a photo of the infamous pitcher (and ice balls)
40:05 – Arthur and the limo
40:43 – here’s the tailgate video link again
42:28 – Annie is convinced tapping one’s fingertips together is a “Smithers” rather than a “Mr Burns”
52:31 – I heard this part first, thinking he’d only barely noticed my tweet. It wasn’t till watching my recording later on that I found out he’d seen it twice.
We’ll be back after this commercial break…
