[the original video went offline some time ago. I’ve replaced it with something similar. (Sorry about the ad.)]
    08:06 – Want to read along with us? Here’s the document he sent us…

Listener Ed’s 2012 Alpine Valley Review by WAOTNC on Scribd

    13:00 – ummm, no (…as you can hear at 27:34)
    14:16 – due to a conversion glitch in going from a DOC file to a TXT file, double quotation marks showed up as ì or î, apostrophes showed up as í, and ellipses showed up Ö. Mike and I are reading off the DOC on my iPad; but Schmoe is stuck reading the plain text version emailed to his phone.
    14:49 – actually this is due to the 12-string guitar change for “Son of a Son of a Sailor”
    23:14 – It was the same day as the concert. “Armstrong died in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 25, 2012, at the age of 82, after complications from coronary artery bypass surgery.” (From Wikipedia.)
    30:29 – “shows”; not “songs”, “shows
    45:55 – as heard at 05:21
    47:30 – First 30 Rock clip, featuring Bryan Cranston, from “Governor Dunstan”, broadcast October 11.
    48:34 – Second 30 Rock clip from “Unwindulax”, broadcast October 25. The song is not the best quality, but it was ripped from the rear surround channels.

    “You knew we couldn’t stop at just one. Mickey, Mike, and Schmoe continue recapping the 2011 Pine Knob show. (Cameos by Nathan and Tori.)

    00:40 – despite making fun of it I ended up joining Foursquare half a month later
    01:16 – she’s referring to the Edirol R-09. Now we use the Zoom H2.
    02:39 – Nate Dogg died March 15 2011
    04:52 – as with the last episode, here’s Mike’s car thermometer (on Instagram)
    07:10 – the footage I shot isn’t great, and I was planning on just using freeze-frames from it — but, what the heck, here’s a quickly edited tailgate video for you. It pretty much covers what we talk about: our arrival, the electric fan, the generator, the unremitting sun, the truck with the pool, the big empty space in front of the M’ville booths, the cheeseburger cookies, the hot tequila, the lighted fan, even Mike doing the shark jaws. Everything but the breast-glitter guy. (Sorry.)

    08:19 – hey, why not — here’s something else from the archives…

Greg & Cathy. August 9 1997.

(Other 1997 photos are in our Photo Gallery.)
    20:13 – photos of Schmoe with Len & Shelly — and the rest of our photos from the 2011 concert — are also in our Gallery
    37:49 – a Nathan Fillion quote, from the Firefly gag reel
    43:40 – we’ll get to that concert roundup in Episode 156, along with the full concert roundup for Pine Knob.
    47:48 – “Red Wiggler, the Cadillac of Worms”® is a sponsor mentioned in WKRP in Cincinnati. (I made it harder on myself by calling them “Red Wriggler”.)
    48:16 – “Shark jaws” is the seldom-performed third step in the Fins Dance. We discussed this back in Episode 63.
    55:27 – on May 30 2001, the Elevation Tour, at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The U2.com website then made it worse by referring to us as “Detroit, IN”.
    57:40 – both these concert roundups were (are) part of the previous episode

    18:50 – the first of many. many, many breast glitter mentions. Almost lost in the archives is this cellphone video from Mike:

From Schmoe’s crappy old cellphone

Why the Things We Do

    42:53 – to be honest, Mr T’s “thumb dance” has morphed over the years from him simply standing up and pointing to the back of his t-shirts into us doing these moves from Airplane!
