• M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) march to their own drummers. Joey Zuver keeps the beat.
• THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  Remember speculation about the role that DTE may have played in ML’s departure from Fox 2? ML starts to let his mullet down, but short circuits his own story to get to guest Tristan Taylor, leader of Detroit Will Breathe, which has been marching in Detroit for two weeks.
• The People’s March, aka Detroit Will Breathe, aka The Movement has 11 demands it submitted to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. There’s another dozen or so they also want to see happen.
• Find out how Detroit Will Breathe formed, whether they are part of a national organization and their willingness to work with other organizations.
• Protesters have done a lot of marching. But have they gotten much done? Tristan gives his take.
• Shawn asks Tristan how much sports has changed in the past two months.
• ML asks Tristan what role he thinks the coronavirus played in building up the The Movement.
• Is bringing protesters together helping spread COVID-19? Get Tristan’s take. (Hint: It involves personal responsibility)
• Marc asks Tristan to respond to YOUR QUESTIONS! Hear what listeners asked, and what answers they got. 
• While marchers chant some very harsh things about police, a Detroit cop died three years after being shot in the line of duty. Tristan’s response to the officer’s death may surprise you – it sure surprised ML!
• Does having so many white people in The Movement hurt Detroit Will Breathe? Get Tristan’s take.
• Tristan talks about how the car caravan came together …and how he felt about the city council’s reaction to protestors driving by their homes.
• THE GREAT DEBATE: The City of Detroit removed the giant bust of Columbus just outside City Hall on Randolph Street, inspiring a debate over “Cancel Culture.” Guess who wants statues removed, who doesn’t care, and who has a novel solution.
• GEEK OF THE WEEK: People who make racially insensitive comments often say: “But some of my best friends are … .” We’re pretty sure that doesn’t apply to this week’s geek. 
• THIS WEEK IN SOFT HISTORY: Matt looks back in time and calls a Statue of Liberty play that probably won’t help him score with the fairer sex any time soon.
• ROOM 7609: You may have heard Dave Brent strumming his guitar in the original version of “The Office.” But you’ve never quite heard Ricky Gervais sound like he did back in his Seona Dancing days.
