Margaritaville Podcast

I talk about blue chip Halloween candy, costumes as a kid, and speak with Michael Utley on the phone about the recording of Halloween In Tijuana off the Last Mango In Paris alum. Mr. Utley tells the story how Harrison Ford recorded the whip crack for the song and Roy Orbison's vocals on Beyond The End. Great stories from the Coral Reefer Band leader himself!

in 2016 I was invited to the NFL Combine by ESPN Fantasy Football Guru and Parrothead, Matthew Berry. At the time this podcast was called the Coconut Podcast referring to Jimmy Buffett's album, Coconut Telegraph. I was looking to interview some people and Matthew told me a good place to start was in Indianapolis during the NFL event. I ran into Peter King at a speaking engagement in a brewery and we met the next day for an interview. We talked about football, travel, LandShark Lager and him smoking a doobie with the Doobie Brothers. Football season is starting and I thought this would be a good throwback episode for you to enjoy.
