For no reason at all I picked up the paper on the Plinkett house set last shoot and looked at the date. Heaven's gate! We've had this paper for over 10 years. My best estimate is that we started using this paper around episode 30ish? We obviously needed Plinkett to read a paper. I attempted to track down it's very first use (clearly on or after 10-2-12) but then I got bored and gave up. After all, I'm currently editing a BOTW spotlight video due out soon... can YOU figure out the exact episode?!?!??!?!?!?

Me too. I can only work weekends, though. And sometimes I'm doing other things, and I can't make it in. I don't really have any skills in making content, or building sets, or really being any sort of assistant. I also don't live in the greater Milwaukee area. So, does this gig come with free beer?

Wow. Nice work, Michael. Thanks!

Matthew Gladney

Is a Max-iPad replacing Plinkett's 11yo newspaper?

Why figure out something on your own when you can have people pay you to do it for you.

I would love to be an unpaid intern for RLM

Ok, I was able to access the archives, and the lead story on the first page of the Business section of the paper dated October 2, 2012 was “Big Player in Field of Sprayers.” At 39:25 in the video, you can see Mr. Plinkett reading the business section, and the headline is “Big Player in Field of Sprayers.”

Looks like Jackie Gleason’s still dead…

I created an account with the Milwaukee public library to review the newspaper archives to see if I could cross reference the front cover of the paper Mike is holding with the date of the page in question, but the archive only goes back to 2018.

Michael Schmidt

Thank you! I fixed it.

Boy I hope Mayor Barrett’s budget proposal lives up to the hype.

Thomas Naporano

Thanks for sharing! I was actually wondering how old this newspaper was 'cause it looked so old in the 2023 catch up episode.

The image in the post here is of page 10A, so we don't see this exact page as they're reading it (we just see the front and back cover, as you do when someone else is reading a newspaper).

Dan Port

Wow, I now know the name of a Milwaukee newspaper and mayor. Milwaukee may be the 36th best city in the US, but it's #30 in my heart. Thanks RLM!

Have you finally watched Sean Connery's epic Zardoz?

Matt Herlihy

2012, not 2022, but yeah.

Dan Port

Never stop doing what you do, I wanna see this paper in episode 3000 of re:View.

JTruts

What are we, unpaid interns?

CriscoDiscoDuck

I don't think it's from episode 39. The papers that both Mike (at the beginning) and Rich (at the end) are "reading" don't appear to match the newspaper featured in this post. If the folks who are saying it's episode 39 can provide a time stamp (I know, I know), them I'm not seeing where it's the same paper?

Matthew Gladney

I appreciate you. You guys are the best

GrowSweeds

I came here because I knew at least one person would have figured it out. Happy to see that MANY figured it out. 🤣

Daniel

This is an Operating Thetan level of RLM knowledge, I do not possess.

Damon Killian

Leave it to us, Mike -- wecan do the menial work. You get back to spinning terrible VHS tapes into gold.

I appreciate how simple the design of this paper is. Very midwestern

Christie Ellis

You’re reading a paper in episode 39: Looper and Dread, but I can’t see the date. That episode is dated October 9, 2012.

Michael Schmidt

The end of episode 39 with Looper and Dredd. Rewatching HITB and weirdly just watched that one

Jeff Clayton

https://youtu.be/zZn8yGoGynY?si=a_lPH0YfBR2VZpfC This is my guess. Looper came out in October 2012. Episode 39. Episode released October 9th, 2012. So it’s this one. Oddly enough, it was you, Mike, using it.

Bill Lehecka

Episode 39: Looper and Dredd, Mike's holding it

sacch

Its* first use.
