Erika Erickson is BACK — livening up the show with talk about funky funerals. You’ll die laughing!
ML tests his Italian on Erika and Marc … with predictable results. Then receives NO SYMPATHY for being stuck on a plane for eight hours next to a big fellah with Jimmy legs.
It’s Election Day, but ML isn’t going to vote. He explains why before he and Erika share their experiences at victory parties — including some that were more like wakes.
What’s it like to be the candidate at a victory party that you know isn’t going to end with a victory celebration? ML knows, and shares his experience.
Listen and learn which Detroit mayoral candidate used a comedian to keep his supporters entertained until the results came in.
Candidates should NEVER wear headgear. That’s our conclusion after Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed put on a cowboy hat. But that video was not the cringey-ist of the campaign. Listen and learn who won the, er, prize.
Erika would LOVE to have a story about a kitty. Or just about anything other than the blood-and-guts stories she’s been covering. One of her latest involved a man who died in a motorcycle accident whose family found his body parts still lying in the street.
Marc says he doesn’t care what happens to his remains after he dies, which leads to a discussion of some funky funerals — including people who hire Goth girls to hang out at the funeral home.
Erika gives an update on the Birmingham pool party gone wild — and teases a potential guest for a future episode.

GEEK OF THE WEEK
ML hesitates to name anti-vaxxer RJK Jr. as this week’s geek for finally recommending the measles vaccine, but eventually gets around to it after a robust discussion of polling and people who don’t vote.
ROOM 7609
