Marc FellhauerML and Marc broadcast from the Cadieux Cafe on St. Patrick’s Day, and ML learns why Marc hates doing remotes.
STRAIGHT DOPE
After overcoming yet another technical nightmare while trying to broadcast outside the friendly confines of Red Shovel Network HQ, ML looks back on the 5th anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic and wonders whether we’ve learned anything? Marc offers his answer. What’s yours?
The Cadieux Cafe was preparing to host the show’s first-ever roadshow in 2020 when ML stopped by on a Friday night to see whether folks would be able to social distance at the intimate Eastside establishment. While a Rush cover band rocked on, and a drunken patron covered him in spittle, ML began to have doubts. But what happened a few days later resolved all of his concerns. Listen and learn what historic event let the Soul of Detroit crew off the hook.
Here’s an old story: Instead of celebrating their Big Ten Tournament victory, Wolverine fans are complaining that they got jobbed with their seeding for March Madness Marc questions whether ML’s X post about the so-called Big Brother was sincere. Marc also thows shade on ML’s contention that losing in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament may be the best thing to help his Spartans go on a deep tournament run.
Before he was James Bond, Sean Connery starred in this Irish folktale produced by Disney. Can you name it?
We know, we know; you’ve heard it before. But we’ve worked out a plan to get Erika Erickson back on the show regularly. Tune in to find out more!
ML tells some stories of his time as an assistant warden at the youth hostel in Killarney, Ireland, and how he used to torture obnoxious guests by playing SubPop artist The Dwarves at high volume.
If you missed us on St. Patrick’s Day, come out on Friday Aug. 1 for Soul Night at the Cadieux. We’ll have live music, VIP events for members of the Soulmates and great music by Shashta Fox and The Kings English.
GEEK OF THE WEEK
An influencer who messes with a baby wombat is this week’s absolutely selfish, rotten, horrible … geek.
ROOM 7609
The Waterboys “Fishermans Blues” was in heavy rotation when ML deejayed at the youth hostel, so he books them into the New Wave suite for St. Patrick’s Day. Send us your song — with great story attached — at mlsoulofdetroit@gmail.com
SOULMATE UPDATE
Will you please be our Soulmate? You may get a chance to ride on a pedal pub with us this summer, and you’ll definitely get to be one of our VIPS when we host Soul Night at the Cadieux Café on Friday, Aug. 1, featuring Shasta Fox and The King’s English!
FEEDBACK
ML picks a fight with another Spartan who feels Spartans are too belligerent, a listener wants to know about Detroit rent rates, we debate when politicians should check their ambition, and ML laments who people who disagree with someone always try to make it political. And he asks two questions: Which word never appears in the novel “The Godfather,” and which word never appears in his latest column?
