• Celebrity sightings, shyness, covid shots and ML’s surprise alternate identities dominate the top of the show.
• M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), and Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) get the ball rolling while Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) follows the bouncing ball in Indy. Joey Zuver turns autograph seekers away.
• THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  ML planned to start off marking the anniversary of his COVID-19 test and playing video from his recent vaccination, but the crew somehow gets off on a tangent about whether they would ask a celebrity for their autograph. A series of stories about their brushes with greatness follow, in which ML reveals that he has occasionally adopted the persona of certain colleagues when approached by the viewing public.
• ML finally gets around to talking about his vaccination, which knocked him on his ass … but he’s back on his feet! Hear the whole story. Or go to Facebook page ML ELRICK and see for yourself.
• Shawn dials in from Indy, for better or worse.
• Some random thoughts on Opening Day and ML’s fond memories of working as a vendor on one of the most lucrative days of the year.
• You won’t believe what’s up next (he types, sarcastically): A quick update on ML’s city council campaign!  This is probably a good spot to mention his campaign’s social media handles — #ML4DETROIT — and his campaign website, www.ml4detroit.com.
• GEEK OF THE WEEK: Our March Madness style tournament ends with a winner who says she shouldn’t have to pay out a billion dollars because you shouldn’t have believed all that crazy stuff she swore was true! 
• THIS WEEK IN SOFT HISTORY: Perfesser Matt is back … with laffs?
