For our pre-Thanksgiving special, we welcome our NIL athlete Kalee Kniess back in studio for an update in the chaos at Michigan’s second-most scandalous university. We also introduce listeners to intern Al, who reveals why high school kids fear Swifties.
Get the bell ready! Shawn isn’t happy about it, but ML is telling some new Kwame Kilpatrick tales. Marc is fascinated. Kilpatrick has a new job and his boss says he’s a “changed man.” He just hasn’t shared any of that change with Detroit, who he owes $850,000 in restitution. ML’s latest Free Press column tallies up how much he owes taxpayers and how he’s continuing to live large. Read it here.
Because the children are our future, Shawn asks Kalee and Al what they know about Kilpatrick.
Shawn and Marc renew their debate over the sign-stealing scandal while ML sits back and waits for a chance to play an “I-told-you-so” clip from last week’s show. Here’s Shawn’s latest column.
A listener believes he’s identified what happened to Shawn’s rental car in Los Angeles. Ever hear of a “soup kitchen?”
