    “Scott, Mickey, Mike, and Schmoe review Peter Mayer’s Goodbye Hello album, only about thirteen months after its release; and the concert roundup is from the October 16 Mountain View CA show.  (Cameo by Jennifer.)”

    01:18 - sorry about talking with my mouth full; I was finishing off the pizza.
    01:48 - audio taken from one of the many versions on YouTube
    03:05 - “Behind Cosell’s Announcement of Lennon’s Death, from New York Times
    06:40 - Double Fantasy was released on November 17 1980 (US)
    07:27 - Scott is reading from “Death of John Lennon” on Wikipedia
    07:53 - John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman [Amazon link]
    08:28 - Hud used to drive me (and Mike’s sister) to high school
    09:32 - Peter Mayer’s Goodbye Hello [Little Flock Music link]

    11:14 - “Videos from Andy Roddick Foundation Charity Gala”, at Buffett News
    11:27 - setlist for the Andy Roddick Foundation gala, from Buffett News
    11:37 - “Use Me” clip at YouTube, via Buffett News
    11:50 - “Videos of Jimmy with Allen Toussaint at NOAAHH”, at Buffett News.  Jimmy’s third appearance was a private show in Houston for American Express platinum cardholders.
    12:28 - “Jimmy Buffett Announces Australia Concerts on Today Show”, at Buffett World
    14:02 - Outsourced, at NBC.com
    14:57 - refers to a U of M football Top Ten List in the Detroit Free Press and its “One Particular Harbaugh” listing.  For more information on Jim Harbaugh, e-mail Schmoe.  You’ll learn more than you ever wanted to know about University of Michigan football coaching.
    15:34 -  Mike’s shopping suggestion: the cordless Frozen Concoction Maker on sale at Buy.com
    17:01 - our 2009 Christmas wishlist
    17:26 - my insistence in making fun of Schmoe had me taking a clip from the end of the recording and jamming it here, hence the difference in sound
    18:02 - unfortunately I failed to record this concert — the only one I missed this year — and had to use SunLover‘s MP3s from Buffett News.  Note: there was no pre-show interview this night, Jimmy and Mac played through what would’ve been the intermission, and apparently Jimmy’s cold was why he sang “Margaritaville” so badly.
    28:01 - specifically, Coverville #723 The 7th Annual Thanksgiving Double-Shot Beatles Cover Story
    30:40 - hey! Scott set off a new alarm!
    32:09 - “Shoot me” is what John Lennon repeats during the beginning of “Come Together”

    37:30 - Michele, by complete coincidence, will show up in Episode 140
    38:12 - I seriously have no idea why I’m saying “frenchified” so much.  I don’t know what came over me.
    38:49 - an inside joke.  Schmoe completed the Detroit marathon (as almost seen here) on October 18; Mike ran the half-marathon, and we won’t let him forget it.
