An escape artist dog adopts a bunch of codgers, and John Carlisle tells ML, Marc and Shawn the inside story, while Joe tries to tunnel out.
STRAIGHT DOPE: ML apologizes for questioning Keon Coleman’s transfer from Michigan State to Florida State after his stellar performance in college football’s first weekend. Shawn still isn’t satisfied.
Don’t bury Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan – he’s not dead yet! So ML tries to get the show rolling with a plug of his latest column exploring potential candidates for mayor of Detroit, but no one seems to care. If you’re the exception, you can read it here.
Two great Free Press columnists grace this episode as John Carlisle drops in to tell the inside story of the dog who escaped from a shelter THREE TIMES to hang out at a nursing home Up North. Read all about it here.
John’s story reads a lot like the plot to a Disney movie. So is it just a matter of time before Hollywood beckons him to Tinseltown with promises of riches? John shares what REALLY happens when the bigshots take one of his stories and run with it.
ML started reading “Unscripted,” the shocking tale of how two scheming gold diggers manipulated Sumner Redstone, the billionaire chairman of Viacom and CBS. His recap of the first 100 pages will make you want to read the entire book.
Shawn and Marc offer their expert opinions on what the season opener tells us about what to expect from the Spartans and Wolverines, while ML raves about his favorite game of the weekend — a match-up between two nobodies.
GEEK OF THE WEEK: Network television is so carefully crafted there are few moments of truth, but Peacock’s “BIG turd” moment was so perfect it earned the fledgling college football network our GOW award. Could an Emmy be next?
ROOM 7609: Suede is considered the ultimate BritPop band, so we booked them into the New Wave suite to perform “Europe is Our Playground” to wrap up our look back at the movement that took the U.K. by storm while we clad ourselves in flannel.
FEEDBACK: Listeners are very mean to ML, who got over hoping to be popular in high school (where he was very unpopular). So their comments and emails don’t hurt his feelings. At all. Not even a little bit. Even though they were very hurtful. He can take it. Because he knows he’s a good person. So nice try, big meanies!!!
