Greg Cote Show podcast: Jimmy Buffett, Chris from Salt Lake, funeral potatoes and Jell-O with onions

The latest Greg Cote Show podcast, out now, is a lovely varietal blend with a good nose, and easy on the ears.

▪ Greg reports a major crime: That Jimmy Buffett not only is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame -- he has never even been nominated. That despite enduring commercial success, underappreciated songwriting and a Parrot Heads fan base immense in its loyalty. All aboard our Lovely Cruise as Greg makes the case for Buffett in the Hall.

▪ Chris, our special NBA All-Star Weekend correspondent, checks in from Salt Lake City and introduces us to “funeral potatoes.” (Inadvertently, elsewhere in the episode, Greg undercuts his son even being at the all-star event by decrying all of it, from the game itself to the 3-point and dunk contests.)

This is our seventh episode of 2023 and 153rd overall, and we welcome you back as always.

Also in the new show:

▪ Greg complains about golf carts running rampant through his neighborhood and founds Chopsticks Anonymous.

▪ R.I.P. and a politically incorrect va va va voom to Raquel Welch and the gradual demise of the bombshell era of overtly voluptuous stars.

▪ New editions of Three Facts, Jack! (pyramids, hot dogs, voltage) and Dad jokes.

▪ Listeners nominate names for Greg’s new racehorse ... and they’re pretty damned good!

▪ And why is Yeti eating Jell-O with onions in it?

Hear all of this and more in the newest GCS.
