- Shawn ascends to the throne as we dive into the House of Windsor, where Milk Duds have replaced Turkish Delight as the royal confection of choice.
- M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick) and Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) bow to His Highness Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor). Joey Zuver hangs around … just in case Shawn abdicates.
- THE STRAIGHT DOPE: Our royal watching begins with a Saturday Night Live skit looking at what the Windsors are like behind closed doors and in which Fred Armisen and Bill Hader share the throne as the kings of comedy.
- Shawn ignited a firestorm when he ended our last episode with an anecdote about his Milk Dud habit. So we share listeners’ responses — and at least one conspiracy theory.
- Writhing in the spotlight, Shawn leads the boys through several meandering yarns — making ML seem concise in comparison.
- Armed robbery, kidnapping, you name it. Shawn has seen it all … even if he’s reluctant to dish.
- Marc cues up two videos calling for the immediate resignation of Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland — one featuring ML, and one starring his mom. Guess which one is more concise and to the point?
- Marc calls out Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who said she traveled out of state to see her sick father. ML and Shawn say “not so fast,” arguing that visiting a sick relative is different from other state officials who went down south to party. Then, out of the blue, Shawn tells some more crazy stories.
- Shockingly, ML finds a way to plug his city council campaign. You can find out more via his campaign’s social media handles — #ML4DETROIT — and his campaign website, www.ml4detroit.com, where you can volunteer, donate, whatever.
- GEEK OF THE WEEK: Most celebrities are flattered to be parodied on The Simpsons. Of course, most celebrities — most people — have a better sense of humor than Morrissey.
- ROOM 7609: Sure, he’s thin-skinned, but Morrissey is still a New Wave icon and master of social commentary, as demonstrated in his anthem the “National Front Disco.”
