- M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) find no news can be good news when it comes to the election, fake Kwame Kilpatrick news can be exhausting, and it’s never a good thing when a Bond dies. Later, Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) checks in with historical jokes, while Joey Zuver keeps everyone online and in line.
- THE STRAIGHT DOPE: ML is a little frantic. It’s almost as if he’s been covering the counting of a never ending election.
- Marc asks ML how his Sunday went with the breaking “fake news” that former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick would be getting out of prison. ML defends the decision the Free Press made in not running the story. Unlike other outlets that did and then had to remove it… again.
- Both people that pushed the Kwame Story forward, Sam Riddle and State Rep. Karen Whittset, turned down the offer to come on the show today.
- ML & Sean pay respects to the best James Bond ever as Sean Connery rounds out a terrible year for Bond deaths.
- THE GREAT DEBATE: Everyone was mad at Justin Turner for celebrating with his Los Angeles Dodger teammates after testing positive for covid-19 during the series clinching game. One person (besides his teammates) didn’t seem to mind.
- GEEK OF THE WEEK: Shawn’s mad at the pollsters who got the 2020 election way wrong, Marc puts a gangster priest up for penance and ML doesn’t want to hear your whining if you did exorcise your right to vote.
- THIS WEEK IN SOFT HISTORY: Professor Matt returns strong with some lessons and jokes. The jokes get ruined as someone felt the need to explain every one.
- ROOM 7609: NuWave covers month is extended. This time it’s Windsor, Ontario band Neverending White Lights with their take on New Order’s “Age of Consent”.
