Schmoe is in Frankenmuth this weekend:
Frankenmuth Cheese Haus:
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…

Cellphone footage from around Comerica Park, Detroit MI. From Saturday, July 28 2012. My apologies for the shakiness; I didn’t have a real camcorder with me.
Lionel Richie returns the favor.
The second of two times we heard “All Night Long” last night.
Some cell phone video from last night.
The first of two times we heard “All Night Long” last night.
Yeah, I heard there’s some worldwide sporting event going on, but for me tonight’s opening ceremonies were for tomorrow’s Comerica Park show and involved watching Jimmy Buffett and Mike Utley broadcast a video chat from backstage, on StageIt.com.
Jimmy gave a spoiler about tomorrow’s setlist (about “All Night Long” specifically), played “Tin Cup Chalice” (by request) and “Boat Drinks” (for Hockeytown), and welcomed special guest Matt Hoggatt.
Jimmy also gave away a Landshark surfboard and Frozen Concoction Makers to the highest bidder. The show lasted about thirty-five minutes and was a very cool way to start this weekend’s festivities.
Fins Up!
