Episode 67: The Heartbreaker Kid
Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, April 23 2008 (9:30 PM - 11:00 PM) at Joe’s Prime Time Pub, Brownstown MI
“We’re still here too! With the start of our new season and Jimmy’s concert tour
coinciding, we bant— I mean, we discuss the new setlist. (Panel includes Greg, Scott, Schmoe, Mickey, and, once again in person, Mike. Cameo appearance by DJ.)”
00:12 - quite the long mid-season break, eh? Take THAT Battlestar Galactica!
00:30 - and in sports, the Tigers trounced the Texas Rangers 19 to 6 and the Pistons beat the Philadelphia 76ers 105 to 88.
00:36 - the deck had been recently stained and the smell of it was filling up the back room
01:07 - Landshark Lager
02:08 - the full quote, “It’s pronounced ‘Canada’; and, no, I haven’t”, comes from a Labatt Blue commercial (YouTube link)
03:06 - in the previous episode, Schmoe went on a rant about the lack of any irony in the Alanis Morissette song “Ironic”. It was cut for time.
03:29 - Kirsten’s phone call, as mentioned in Buffett News
04:13 - St Louis Today article, via Buffett News
05:05 - first mentioned in Episode 63
06:31 - score by John Williams, of course
07:44 - “Skip to the end”: a Simon Pegg quote from Spaced, available at last in the US on July 22 2008 and highly recommended
11:07 - Commonwealth Displays
11:14 - according to Wikipedia, Radio Margaritaville started streaming in 1998 before being picked up on Sirius in 2005
12:35 - admittedly a not so subtle riff on the Monty Python “Knights of Ni” scene
13:27 - we learned later that Scott’s playout music is the Rolling Stones’ “She’s a Rainbow”. And my song is arguably Eric Clapton’s “Bell Bottom Blues” (though technically I only stepped out to go to the lavatory; I did not actually leave the bar).
No playout music for Greg, Schmoe, or Mike though, unfortunately. The jukebox had stopped playing by then.
14:06 - my 1989 setlist page
15:57 - learn more about The Goners at John Hiatt.com
21:05 - as mentioned in Episode 64
26:16 - my 1992 setlist page
26:25 - despite Mike contributing in person, we still get goddamned GSM noise! Scott is innocent since he had actually left by this point. I can’t say for sure, but i’m tempted to say Greg is to blame since I seem to recall him fiddling with his phone at this time.
36:30 - as discussed in Episode 64
