The truth – and Shawn – is out there somewhere. ML and Marc search for it, while Erika is away at WDIV.







STRAIGHT DOPE: Marc manages to cobble together this week’s episode while the Red Shovel Network studios are under renovation. Members of our Patreon supporters group the Soulmates can get a sneak peek at the new digs.







ML is tanned and not exactly rested after a long weekend in East Lansing to teach and watch MSU football, on Lake St. Clair with his class president, at the Country Club of Detroit for his 40th class reunion and in Hamtramck for the Yacht Races … and some Gangster Fun.







You run into all kinds of people at a high school reunion, including classmates with famous siblings. ML asks Marc if he can guess who Mary Kay Lowery’s brother is, and gives him five guesses. That’s a clue, people! Do YOU know the answer?







Here’s another clue: Mary Kay’s brother played in a high school band with ML’s brother Rob. One of the other members of the band also made headlines the hard way when he was killed in the Carnegie Deli massacre. Marc and ML want you to share your best high school stories — they can be triumphant, tragic or just about anything in between. Send them to mlsoulofdetroit@gmail.com







During ML’s 40th high school reunion, he finally got a chance to dance with the woman he considered the best-looking, smartest and nicest girl in his class. Listen and learn who she is — and what her conditions were before she would hit the dance floor.







Marc asks ML about some characters who came out for the reunion and ML says the baddest — in a good way — dude from his class was there. BTW, he looked tanned and terrific … and ML is not just saying that to avoid a beating.







After the reunion, ML recovered by attending the Hamtramck Yacht Races. Read all about it (and see some of the video) here.

GEEK OF THE WEEK: ML calls out hypocrites who seem to no longer care about gas prices, and Marc hammers an athlete who prefers coffee to water for hydration.







ROOM 7609: Still stuck in class reunion mode, ML (Grosse Pointe South High School Class of 1985) books Killing Joke into the New Wave suite to perform “Eighties.” Please send us your suggestion for a song — along with a great story — to mlsoulofdetroit@gmail.com
