<br /> Tax Day is no laughing matter, so comedian Mike Young tells Erika, ML and Marc some amazing true Hollywood stories.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> STRAIGHT DOPE: Talk about tough crowds: ML tells comedian Mike Young he just sent 8 checks to the IRS so he desperately needs some laughs. Instead, Mike regales us with stories about how he got on Leonardo DiCaprio’s basketball team.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Marc asks ML why he owes so many tax bills and gets a story so long – but well told! – that Erika jumps in to make him wrap it up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike just got in from the West Coast, where he did a bunch of shows and yukked it up with morning radio deejays. Marc asks whether Mike likes promoting his show that way – and whether it makes a difference.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bob Saget LOVED promoting his shows. Mike talks about what it was like to tour with Bob … and how he NEVER watched an episode of “Full House.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike counts John Stamos among his pals, and explains how Stamos got to play drums with the Beach Boys. ML butts in to remind us that Stamos had some trouble with the ladies in the U.P. and speculates that he doesn’t have many good memories of Michigan.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Marc asks Mike what it was like to be a “secret” contributor to “Entourage,” and gets rewarded with some great behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike was working on a show for Tobey McGuire at ABC, spurring a discussion of whether the original Spiderman has comedic chops — and basketball hops.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike took on Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch on the basketball court, and ended up squaring off at center court with Marky’s chef. Listen and learn what the beef was about.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Encounters with Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson left Mike with two very distinct and different impressions of the former champs. Find out which one was an angel, and which one he would never mess with.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ML asks Mike about bombing and whether it’s a necessary rite of passage.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike has toured with – and gives his take on — Dave Chappelle, Sebastian Maniscalco and Joe Rogan.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.comedycastle.com/events/category/series/mike-young/mark-ridleys-comedy-castle/royal-oak/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Catch Mike’s show Wednesday, April 16 at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle.

<br /> No need for a spoiler alert, as Shawn regales us with his thoughts on “Game Of Thrones” – a series that ended years ago, leaving Marc a fan and ML put off by all that lust in the dust.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> STRAIGHT DOPE: Shawn admonishes ML for being out of uniform by wearing a tie, leading to a series of random recollections by ML that conclude with some advice that could save your life.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Shawn spaces out on the name of, er, Marc – yeah, that’s it! Marc! – and wonders whether he’s losing it. Meanwhile, ML comes up with a movie star who he says could be separated at birth from Marc. Listen, learn and let us know what YOU think.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dragons, sociopaths, major characters being killed without warning are all hallmarks of “Game of Thrones.” So Marc and Shawn wonder why ML is so hung up on how dirty everyone is while they’re having sex.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ML, inspired by Shawn’s trip down pop culture memory lane, reads some old fake news headlines from The Onion.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Marc takes us from old shows to new, getting us caught up on “The Pit,” “Adolescence,” and “White Lotus,” while ML wonders whatever happened to “Foundation.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Creepy coaches are making headlines, from Detroit to Gainesville, Florida. But ML feels that the national media betrayed viewers by largely ignoring a scandal involving the coach of the Florida Gators basketball team at the start of their national championship season. Marc asks what the media could have done better, and a lively discussion ensues.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2025/04/07/lawyer-for-u-m-protester-held-at-airport-refused-to-give-feds-his-phone/82978891007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Attorney Amir Makled was detained at Detroit Metro Airport on his way back from a family vacation.

<br /> Erika Erickson is BACK! ML and Marc also welcome Shawn back to Red Shovel Headquarters to discuss matters ranging from women with beards to men whose rugs need scrubbing.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> STRAIGHT DOPE: Promises made, promises kept! ERIKA FRIGGING ERICKSON makes her triumphant return to the show. Some say she enjoys podcasting, but we know she really just loves hanging out in a basement with three dorks.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/MLSoulofDetroit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Months after Erika designed some new duds for the ML Soul of Detroit merch shop, ML presents her with a t-shirt, then challenges Shawn to try on the crop top Erika THOUGHT was meant for her.

One of them gets ML and Marc beefing about – what else – the Wolverines and Spartans. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Shawn is BACK! He talks about life as a road warrior, as well as the epic seasons ML’s Spartans and Marc’s Wolverines just wrapped up.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Lawyers are looking for Mel Tucker. ML says a source told him where Mel is hanging out … and it’s a place where it’s ok to handle the tools.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Erika believes Shawn is separated at birth from a famous and equally dyspeptic character. Listen and learn … and let us know if you agree!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Who knew that toupee maintenance was a big deal. Erika tells us about a man with a well-disguised rug that nevertheless needs a good shampooing.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/columnists/ml-elrick/2025/03/30/detroit-mayor-mike-duggan-state-of-city-council-history/82691035007/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ML’s latest column calls out Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who he says should stick to politics instead of giving phony history lessons.
