Instead of discussing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, we wreck an hour of your day by discussing two different bacons and some personal grooming stories Shawn inflicted on us.
STRAIGHT DOPE: ML wanted to talk to the author of a new Edmund Fitzgerald book on the 50th anniversary of the famous Great Lakes disaster, but Shawn says it’s time to move on — raising questions about whether he’ll celebrate America’s 250th birthday next year…or figure the whole revolution thing is played out.
Shawn was in Washington, D.C. with the Detroit Lions and, oh, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Listen and learn what it was like to watch a game with POTUS. As a bonus, here’s his latest column.
As a military brat, Shawn loves flyovers. So why wasn’t he impressed when Air Force Once sailed over the Washington Commanders’ stadium on Sunday?
Detroit News columnist John Niyo had a brush with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Shawn tells all.
Marc and ML express concern that fans booing Donald Trump didn’t take a pause as the Commander in Chief swore in some new troops.
Lions-mania continues, as the conductor of the Washington Metro plays a prank on Shawn and a car full of Lions fans heading to the game.
Shawn waxes nostalgic about misadventures with his fellow middle schoolers and their public hair. ML hopes his mom isn’t listening.
Speaking of waxing, ML says in his latest column that the mayor’s race wasn’t much of a contest. Read all about it here.
