An Only Fans creator running for office, a bold prediction, election deniers and ML reflects on the reaction to the night he got stomped as ML, Marc and Shawn try to avoid talking politics on the most political day of the year!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
STRAIGHT&nbsp;DOPE:&nbsp;We’re trying to avoid politics on election day, but ML nevertheless makes a bold prediction. Then he takes credit for a prediction he made before the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate that was&nbsp;mostly&nbsp;right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, THIS is embarrassing! On the same day last week’s show posted, in which ML says newspapers should get out of the endorsement game, the Free Press’ owners announced they were getting out of the announcement game! ML explains that he had NO IDEA that news was coming down on the same day he made his comments.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you’re wondering why you’ve never heard a political ad on this show, it’s because our policy is not to take any ads – no matter how lucrative – from politicians. Local television stations, on the other hand, are RAKING IT IN!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you sick of all the texts and political propaganda? Marc isn’t. He explains why.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Shawn is back from Iron Mountain, where he stayed to cover the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers tilt. The reason? Cost. Listen and let us know what you think of the AMAZING deal he got on a flight.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Marc was too busy to go to Iron Mountain, which is handy, because he was BANNED from that corner of the U.P. back in high school. He explains.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Marc asks ML and Shawn to talk about their worst assignments from the road. ML shares a story that almost cost him his life. Shawn talks about hanging out on a boat in Greece with a bunch of 80-year-old dudes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The way sports reporters file stories has changed dramatically, due to technological changes. ML and Shawn recount some of the challenges they had to overcome, including phone couplers and dictating stories long-distance while using an MCI calling card.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dave Portnoy rears his ugly head, spurring a debate between ML and Marc over whether he’s evil or an evil genius &#8212; or both.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A candidate for the Michigan House made a bundle on Only Fans back in 2022. A discussion over whether being a sex worker should disqualify a candidate morphs into a discussion over the difference between loving porn and the other 99 percent of it.<br />
