Season 5 ends with another football playlist, Greg reporting from the Margaritaville Cafe in Myrtle Beach, and Scott getting drunk. Cameo by Rachel. Background vocals by DJ and Jacob.

Mickey, Greg, Schmoe, and Mike discuss the first of our JB-inspired football tailgate playlists plus the latest in Jimmy Buffett news. (Cameo by Rachel.)

How's this for a quick turnaround. But then again we've got to get this one out before the world ends today. For now, the guys give short takes on several topics and plan Buffett playlists for football tailgating.

Our bad luck streak with tech continues as the guys try their first Skype call to discuss Listener Ed's review of the Alpine Valley concert.

Mike was free and in town which set in motion this bonus podcast. We study the first concert of the third leg of the tour; but we waited so long to begin, we were well in our cups by the start of recording, leading to one of our wildest, loudest, most drunken episodes!

Wherein our heroes talk about ... umm ... ehhh ... stuff ... kinda. And at least Mickey proves he can record and make phone calls at the same time. (Voices: Scott, Greg, Mickey, Mike, Schmoe and special guest Ashley.)

We've complained in the past about the prevalence of cover songs in Jimmy's albums and on tour, but now, in a new North Coast fourcast, we choose what covers we do like. A big crowd tonight with Schmoe, Greg, Mike, Mickey, Scott, Patti, and Larry on the panel, with guest appearances by DJ, Nathan, and Rachel.

Another look at Jimmy's Pine Knob show, along with the final dates of the tour's second leg, Mickey monologues about Saturday Night Live, and Rachel helps out with three -- count em, three -- jokes.

A special double feature in the wake of Jimmy’s 2008 concert appearance. (With guest vocals by Scott, Greg, Jacob, Patti, her cousin Debbie, Schmoe’s daughter Kate, and others.)

The boys make their deadline just under the wire, reviewing the last three of their ultimate setlists in time to hear Jimmy’s own carefully chosen setlist on Tuesday. (Background vocals: Schmoe’s & Mike’s kids and a few oscillating fans.)

The title refers to both Crazy Rummy and the fact Greg and Mickey finally offer up the first of our ultimate setlists. Special guests: Rachel and Nathan.)

A bonus podcast, recorded at Casa de Schmoe. The boys rehash the headlines, review "Swine Not?", take another look at fantasy setlists, and learn something disturbing about Greg.

Here comes another podcast about Roger Clyne...and Mexico! They just can't help themselves: Mike and Schmoe went to RCPM's Circus Mexicus in Puerto Penasco last weekend, and are full of stories. For those of you hungry for Buffett content, they at least made a stop at the new Margaritaville Cafe in Glendale AZ along the way. (Special appearances by DJ and Rachel.)

For a short episode this sure took a long time to edit. Schmoe, Greg, and Mickey see out our second year and kick off our third looking back at the tour's first leg and looking ahead at a new project. (Special appearance by Jen.)

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.)

Another season winds to a close as Greg, Mickey, Scott, Schmoe, and Mike review the Glendale AZ mini concert. And we bring back the fourcast, as Schmoe quizzes us on our favorite Jimmy Buffett performances. Share yours at podcast@northcoastcast.com.

The boys are back from their road trip weekend (seeing Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers in Ferndale and Chicago) and they're full of stories. Let the mancrushing begin. (Cameo by Jennifer.) send email: podcast@northcoastcast.com send audio: northcoastcast@gmail.com send Skype: 1-774-221-7346

As you might already be aware, the rumor was true. Between the last episode and this, it was announced that Jimmy is coming back to Pine Knob and tickets have already gone on sale. Schmoe, Greg, Texas Mike, Hud, Mickey, and Scott share their ticket-buying stories, with guest appearances by Jennifer and Lee. send email: podcast@northcoastcast.com send audio: northcoastcast@gmail.com send Skype: 1-774-221-7346

I left WCSX (94.7 FM) on all day Thursday but came home to find my recorder had crapped out after only ninety minutes. I immediately continued recording, and lucked out in that I was able to catch the commercial about three hours later -- leaving the following morning free for ticket buying!

The preliminaries out of the way, we finally get down to reviewing the Live By the Bay concert video. And the wait was worth it since Mickey and Schmoe were not only joined by Mike (on phone) and Hud, but Scott and Greg managed to show up again too!
