Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, September 10 2008 (9:30 PM – 12:00 AM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“What was intended to be our review for Last Mango in Paris turns into a rehearsal for our review for Last Mango in Paris. Cameos from Lee, Cindy, Jen II, and another special message from Scott.”
I set the recording gear up early, but then we spent a lot of time trying to get a steady signal from Zodiac’s faltering wi-fi. Plus Mike had his own delays, in Houston. By the time we started, Scott had had to leave, and Greg made it only halfway through the show.
Bonus trivia: the original title to this episode was “Nights Needed Not These Assholes”.
01:11 – this might be the podcast that took the longest between setup and actual recording, but the latest-starting was Episode 77
01:30 – referring to Episode 53
02:19 – referring to Episode 82
03:02 – “till the broadcast” should be “up to the broadcast” I guess. What I meant was I had spent all my money already
03:32 – A joke. He really hasn’t
03:35 – referring to a deleted scene from Episode 78. All the talk about Bacon Salt was excised from the finished podcast, to save time. I now regret having done that, since Scott has made it such a running gag
04:04 – as shown in the photo below, Scott used Greg’s LP as a reference
 |
04:14 – we’re beginning to suspect Scott is hard of hearing
04:15 – Greg is talking about the lack of liner notes and barely any artwork in MCA’s CD reissues
05:47 – I’m bitching about the barely present wi-fi signal
06:13 – inside joke. Greg once broke his ankle at a U of M game, doing a jig after the announcement of, coincidentally, a Slippery Rock score
07:18 – Harmony House Records and Tapes
08:02 – ICE Newsletter
08:10 – Nashville Now video from my old TV Viewing Room (something else I need to upgrade, when I find the time)
** UPDATE: I guilted myself into encoding all my old VHS tapes and creating a new video archive page! You can watch Nashville Now, in its entirety, here! **
09:00 – Schmoe and Mike went on to explain how they married sisters (which makes them weens-in-law), but this was cut from the show for time
10:33 – the timeline is confused here. Hopefully it will get worked out for next week’s show
10:55 – you can hear Greg saying his goodbyes in the background. This too was cut for time
11:03 – New York Times’s story on the Wouk tribute, via BuffettNews
11:45 – Mac’s Musician of the Year CMA nomination, via Buffett World
14:15 – the agave article, previously mentioned on our blog
15:31 – our great biofuels debate was also cut for time
16:32 – Zodiac now has two waitresses named Jen: Jennifer, heard last year, and Jen II, heard now. Cindy, our waitress last week, dropped by on a night off just to hang out with us
