We hope you’ve been checking out RCPM’s Turbo Ocho page; otherwise, you’ve already missed half of the fun of witnessing Roger and the boys write and record a song a day.

“It’s our second annual Christmas episode! Greg joins Mickey & Schmoe, with Mike as the disembodied Spirit of Central Standard Time. With special guest appearances by Lee, Shields
& Yarnell, Joey Heatherton, and Chip Davis’s lawyers.”
00:10 – Mike and Schmoe said they couldn’t recognize our theme song in this new Mannheim Steamroller-inspired version. “Deck in the Halls” is in the right speaker, our theme in the left, courtesy of GarageBand.
01:02 – bandolero: did I mean bandolier?
04:32 – the tavern at Southland Mall is now a Ruby Tuesday’s. Originally it was called McBob’s; and, thanks to my new scanner, here’s a photograph of the old interior with Christmas Carol:
 |
07:59 – Radio Margaritaville finalists
08:57 – JB’s appearance at DBA bar
09:41 – StubHub’s 2007 tour rankings
11:21 – the complete Times Union Parrot Head quiz
16:00 – no calls please, it’s U of M football coach Rich Rodriguez
16:28 – for the record, our 100th friend was the official RCPM listing
17:02 – a clue!
17:47 – another clue!!
24:02 – Frozen Concoction Maker
24:10 – Amazon’s Steve Goodman book
24:23 – Squawker’s McCaw
24:34 – Margaritaville Cargo.com
24:44 – Windjammer Cruises
27:56 – our other Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album parody. The original features a recorder and although I have one I was lazy and just used a MIDI flute sound instead.
28:50 – our tribute to Cheers. Note the phone delay … and Schmoe’s scat-singing skills.

“Just the core group of Schmoe, Mike, and Mickey this week, discussing the latest news, reminiscing about old concerts, and finally wrapping up their four-part review of the box
set. (Cameo by Lee.)”
The plan was to record Wednesday, November 28; but evidently we were still too sleepy and full from Thanksgiving. The recording was postponed till Wednesday, December 5, when we would finish up our review of the boxed set with a discussion of “Ballads”.
My apologies once again for taking so long to upload this. Not only are things typically busy at this time of year, but I spent two days just looking for my cassettes of the 1991 concert.
And now, the show notes:
01:10 – please tell me you all still know what Centipede is
01:52 – of couse, this is a reference to the Live in Anguilla review n our previous episode, of coure
02:51 – MTV’s blurb on Anguilla sales, via BuffettWorld.
03:08 – WSJ‘s story on Palm Beach water guzzling, via BuffettNews
05:07 – yes, we saw two concerts that tour
06:29 – this refers to the first Palace show, back on Friday, June 30 1989. I’m pretty sure we talked about this, and even featured some audio, but to be honest I can’t remember what episode it was.
08:17 – link to the ill-fated Journeyman, which Schmoe and I had just started really getting into…in time for its cancellation
08:51 – Keating’s comments, via BuffettWorld.
10:03 – Thomas Crompton’s blog post on the Chinese charity concert
12:04 – story on Pulaski County, via BuffettNews’s discussion board.
13:54 – Last Mango Stables
14:05 – a reference to The Sopranos episode “Whoever Did This” from Season 4
14:37 – I did not have access to a copy of Knocked Up so this audio comes from a clip YouTube. (And boy was I tempted to try editing around the phrase “her and her doctor”. What the hell kind of English is that?!)
15:26 – a reference to the Scrubs episode “My Identity Crisis” from Season 7
16:20 – you know, that joke never gets old. No…wait a moment…it does
18:30 – “Everlasting Moon” debuted during the “Jimmy’s Jump Up” tour of 1990
19:52 – our memories are not entirely correct. The shooting star occurred during Pirate Looks at 40
21:09 – with my luck they probably only performed “Money Back Guarantee”. I almost forgot: the notes for Episode 28 have a link to the DVD of this show, available on Amazon
23:14 – that rant sounded better in my head
32:17 – “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”
33:59 – audio recorded Saturday, July 27 1991
35:10 – the preceding was provided by the good folks at PodSchmoe.com
We’re planning a new show on the 12th and we invite you to add your comments by e-mailing us at podcast@northcoastcast.com or leaving a voicemail message at 1-774-221-7346.

“This week, a look at Live in Anguilla and, in honor of the season, we ponder what
Buffetty things we’re thankful for. Hud is back, Mike is still on the phone, and Scott finally returns after a long absence. (Cameos by Deano, Lee, and a dessert pizza.)”
00:00 – notice a difference in the sound? No, not Scott; I’m talking about the fact this week’s show is monaural. I will admit to nothing, other than to confirm that, yes, this week’s show is monaural
02:32 – CMA winners
02:44 – Corona sponsoring Chesney tour
03:39 – JB with Little Feat | 03:46 – JB and Sonny Landreth
04:22 – Amazon’s Eric Clapton’s autobiography link
04:34 – Radio Margaritaville DJ contest
10:56 – a catch phrase first introduced in Episode 13
17:17 – Scott’s detestation of Best Buy stems from the events described in Episode 50
18:47 – actually they were written the day before our Episode 46 session
20:51 – Schmoe is referencing his less than successful acting job as the female lead in the Big Finish of Episode 50
24:58 – oh Lord, don’t get me started
34:48 – don’t get me started on that either
35:37 – an old quote from Greg, which we’ve probably mentioned before
35:58 – Schmoe told me later he meant to imply I could edit him even more
36:54 – this old wheeze was severely overwritten, but was truncated here not only to save time but to get to the very predicable punchline faster
Oh all right. I confess. The reason the show is monaural is because, before we started our talk, I had too many Bud Lights and drunkenly fucked up the record settings.
It’s a free-for-all. Fifty-five episodes enter and … well … fifty-five episodes leave — but! … in what order?
You decide…

“Not only does Mike join Schmoe and Mickey on the phone again, but Hud is back and
Patti returns for her second visit! The top of discussion is Hot Water, and these losers, these losers, these losers just drone on… (Cameo by Tommy.)”
I bought a new and shielded cord for our speaker phone setup, to eliminate any more interference, only to find the cord would not work for some reason. Luckily, Schmoe had some audio cords in his car and we were finally able to contact Mike and get the show rolling.
00:10 – Patti’s previous visit was when back in Episode 2
01:30 – Amazon’s listing for the unofficial Jimmy Buffett Concert Handbook
02:41 – Patti tried talking us into a road trip since her birthday coincided with the second Las Vegas show. Unfortunately for her, we’re too cheap.
05:51 – Jimmy’s intro was slightly edited here to save time
06:56 – “Tin Cup Chalice” was performed, but it was not aired on Radio Margaritaville so sadly it cannot be included here
07:09 – oops, this interview with Mike Utley actually preceded the Thursday show, not the Saturday show. Jimmy’s interview on Saturday was actually an interesting, serious talk about his touring ethic and I include it here as an extra:
08:10 – nope. Jimmy, George Strait, and Alan Jackson lost to Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and the upstart Kenny Chesney. And Mac McAnally lost to Jerry Douglas.
09:46 – you can hear Bill make the suggestion at 38:17 in Episode 54
14:39 – nope, I was thinking of “Lage Nom Ai” I guess. “Great Heart” was the leadoff song for the Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays tour.
14:55 – you can’t hear it all that well, but Patti admits “I like ‘Pre-You'”
15:39 – George Blaha
15:53 – Schmoe is right, the video was shown during the intermission of the February 17 1998 show
18:16 – Duck Dunn & Steve Cropper
26:44 – Patti mentions “Rick Springfield”
30:42 – “Great Heart” iTunes link
31:39 – I can’t locate it in Episode 54 any more, so maybe Greg mentioned it before the mics were on. “Smart Woman in a Real Short Skirt” scared him, he said, because it reminded him of pick-up lines from his single days.
31:59 – I said this because I would be celebrating a birthday in two days (and finishing the edit)
32:46 – Jimmy and Marshall Chapman exchanged a kiss (or maybe just an embrace — I was sitting far back, after all) after performing “Perfect Partner” on July 4 1987
33:23 – Last Mango in Paris was released in June 1985
35:01 – this recording of “That’s What Living is to Me” comes from July 4 1987. (And I forgot to mention it includes steel drum here too.)
37:30 – if I could find it, here’s where I’d link to that “Arlo & Janis” strip
The snippet of “That’s What Living is to Me” is from July 4 1987.
P.S.: New show next week. We’ll be reviewing Live in Aguilla and also talking about “songs we’re thankful for”. Share your own thoughts at podcast@northcoast.com or 1-774-221-7346.
P.P.S.: Happy Birthday to Me!

“There’s safety in numbers. The whole coven joins together to brew up a terrifying Halloween episode. Mike conjures himself across country and there’s even an attack by an undead Hud! Horrifying lulls, scary song titles, jokes returning from the dead — but … no GSM phone noise!”
Mu-wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa! Mine is an evil laugh! Welcome to our Halloween episode — uploaded just in time too. This week’s episode required the use of two operating systems! Part of it was edited under OS X 10.4 Tiger and the remainder was finished in OS X 10.5 Leopard. Notice a difference?
It would be nice to say our dedication to fixing the GSM noise problem caused Mike to fly up from Houston to join us in person, but it was actually just a coincidence. The project Mike is working on needs to be done by the end of the year, so his employers gave him this week off to give him a break before “crunch time” starts.
00:04 – I’m not really sure what happened to Greg, even though I was sitting across from him. Schmoe moved his chair back and somehow Greg, sitting next to him, got hurt. As far as the subsequent references, perhaps someone more knowledgeable will illuminate us in the comments.
01:26 – “…in my brain” has become our new catchphrase evidently, thanks to Greg’s mention of “my brain’s iPod” in the Episode 51. Hopefully you won’t get too sick of it, since you’ll be hearing this a lot
02:59 – Jackson’s dot-Mac listserv group can be found at groups.mac.com/oneparticularph
03:51 – Jimmy’s Detroit show for the Beach House tour was Tuesday, June 8 1999. Here’s the setlist.
04:00 – our original album art, before my niece created our cool logo, was photographed before Jimmy’s Tiki Time concert: Tuesday, June 24 2003.
04:11 – the video exists in crappy old RealVideo, but maybe one day I’ll re-edit it to something better
06:27 – Jimmy calls her Chicamauga in “False Echoes” and A Pirate Looks at Fifty, but the news stories call her Chiquimula
08:17 – Mac McAnally news story
13:22 – the big screen TV got shut off (which Hud was facing), but the one above the bar was left on (which Greg, Schmoe, and Mike could see)
18:27 – I’m really surprised I haven’t read any Headmaster jokes after the news broke. And how does Michael Gambon feel with his photo accompanying every article?
23:44 – despite the long edit time, I still managed to screw this section up. I forgot to drop the recording in over the top of what I played live, but his has since been corrected. This message was left on August 24 2007, from New Hampshire.
24:22 – Greg switched positions, in the stereo spectrum, because he was returning from a bathroom break
24:34 – more outtakes from Episode 52. Aurora Rd was indeed the address of our SpringHill Marriott. Hud is referring to our last Caseville weekend.
26:38 – another of Greg’s many nicknames, and it has been for many many years
28:08 – don’t get the joke? Listen to Episode 53 from 13:18 to 15:49. This will quite likely be another running gag too.
28:08 – Count Scary, played by WOMC’s Tom Ryan, hosted TV specials for WDIV, the NBC affiliate in Detroit. Scary was quite obviously based on the Count Floyd character played by Joe Flaherty of SCTV.
34:50 – hey, I got the song title right! But it’s a swinging cutlass, not a swinging scythe.
35:27 – Hud mentions “The Wind Cries Mary” because he has borrowed Schmoe’s JB discography printout and is scanning song titles
38:06 – I heard a story on NPR how houses in Detroit could be bought for only a couple thousand dollars, but I can’t find that story any more. So I’ll link to this Detroit housing story instead. Update: here’s a related posting, of Detroit houses for less than $250.
38:17 – and this, ladies and gentlemen, is how we decided Episode 55 will be our review of Hot Water. Send your reviews and comments to podcast@northcoastcast.com or leave a voice message at 1-774-221-7346.
44:27 – “Isn’t this where we came in?” — Greg does his own inadvertent homage to The Wall.
45:26 – early listeners got to hear an editing oversight here too
Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, October 10 2007 (8:30 PM – 11:30 PM) after Episode 52, at Casa de Greg, Dearborn MI
“The boys continue their discussion of the box set with disc three, “Bars”. But to be blunt, this one sucks. The microphones picked up a steady stream of GSM noise from our conference call with Mike; and, honestly, if you skip this one I, your humble description writer, would completely understand. (Return appearance by Cathy.)”
Here’s the second half of what we recorded in Greg’s basement. We had minimal phone noise then, but nothing but phone noise this time. The only difference is we called Mike the first time and Mike called us the second half. And, based on this minimal research, I would posit that receiving a phone call causes more interference than making one. Thank you for contributing to our lesson. Because of the interference I added a bit more noise reduction than usual, but the GSM noise remains omnipresent.
Schmoe cleared up the confusion over the four questions with a revision, e-mailed the morning of October 9.
1) Review the new songs on the disc
B) What songs (3 or so) would you take off that CD?
3) What songs (3 or so) would you put in its place (from the time period the set covers)?
D) What songs (3 or so) released SINCE the boxed set would you put on that disc?
09:12 – silly me, I thought Greg was implying the song had been used in a Rodney Dangerfield movie, not that the lyrics were the same as a title of a Rodney Dangerfield movie. …And the name of the dive is the Triple Lindy.
12:55 – James Jones on Wikipedia (my hesitation stemmed from fear of confusing Jones’s bibliography with Herman Wouk’s)
13:33 – Mufasa’s line is “Remember who you are.”
24:57 – another Arrested Development quote
26:03 – at last, the story Greg merely hinted at three minutes into Episode 52.
28:52 – speaking of Episode 52, Greg’s little comment was taken from the earlier show to make the transition to his wife reappearing. The joke was actually recorded before our second call with Mike, which explains why it is blessedly free of GSM interference.
30:02 – please send your suggestions for heated, alcoholic, dairy-free drinks to podcast@northcoastcast.com.

“The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 00:00. The boys reminisce about their weekend seeing RCPM in Detroit and Cleveland; and they interview Chad Heckler, the man who made Roger’s new guitar. (Cameo appearance by Cathy.)”
Attack of the Clyne-cast, Part II.
We recorded two shows last Wednesday, the Roger Clyne show presented here and the “Bars” review we promised earlier. Schmoe couldn’t round up enough people for wallyball so we ended up simply recording the show at Greg’s house. His basement, specifically. We assumed the Clyne podcast would be brief, consisting of a quick wraparound to our interview with Chad Heckler; but we ended up talking for an hour and a half! What we’d assumed would be a quick and easy bonus show for the feed turned into our longest episode yet.
Chad Heckler’s MySpace page.
Our locations in Ferndale: The Post, Howe’s Bayou (link pending), and The Magic Bag Theater.
Here’s the Waterin’ Hole page where people first started discussing Roger’s new guitar.
Chad’s custom guitar for Roger: 1 | 2 | in action.
11:26 – Red 57
11:47 – Ha!. and you thought this show would have no Buffett content!
12:43 – Pictures of Roger’s “Old Faithful”:
 |
 |
13:02 – buy Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy direct from The Peacemakers
14:09 – Brian Blush
17:55 – Chad’s favorites: Better Than Ezra and The Refreshments.
27:51 – Detroit concert recorded by yours truly. Much of what we talk about an be viewed in our Gallery: Detroit album
35:52 – The old Beatles song is “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”.
37:06 – yes, Cleveland refers to themselves as the “North Coast” and Wikipedia says that Michigan is really the “Third Coast”. Too late to change our podcast name though, I guess. I still contend that Michigan’s two peninsulas offer more of a coast than Cleveland’s.
40:20 – ironically, while we were just down the street from the stadium we watched the midge attack on TV like anyone else
41:00 – Latvian dance music performed by Atštaukas
43:18 – Cleveland concert recorded by Matt Miller (complete recording available here). Much of what we talk about an be viewed in our Gallery: Cleveland album.
43:49 – Diana’s MySpace page | Tippy’s MySpace page. Tippy also has some excellent photos of the Detroit and Cleveland shows, over on her Flickr page.
44:47 – another one of those references to an old story from college
46:38 – Shelly and Tim’s MySpace pages: 1 | 2
52:52 – Neti pot
62:21 – here’s the video
