It’s not too late to join our Patreon supporters group The Soulmates! You’ll get to feather bowl with us from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Cadieux Cafe, we’ll have some sweet swag for you, and we’ll groove to some fantastic live music performed by The Smiths United!
ML recounts how he met the band at the Berkeley Front more than 15 years ago while playing pinball.
How does someone decide to become Morrissey? Chris George of The Smiths United explains how he joined the band — and why a lack of synths stopped him from becoming Dave Gahan.
The Smiths United have had more stability with Max Prokop on bass, but they’ve had their own Spinal Tap experience with drummers.
Max goes on assignment for the podcast, tracking down Afroman in Ann Arbor to discuss the defamation lawsuit he won against an Ohio sheriff — and pound cake man.
Marc shows ML some video of his former colleague Taryn Asher going ham on some colleagues that emerged in the course of her lawsuit against Fox 2. ML offers his analysis, which The Smiths United supplement with their perspective.
Shawn zooms in from Pittsburgh, where the Tigers had to lend him a belt.
ML and Shawn rave about Pittsburgh as a city, a ballpark, and a place where articulating jaws are required to eat the city’s trademark sandwich.
Marc asks Shawn if the Tigers REALLY needed to trade Skubal. Listen and learn what our man in the ‘Burgh says.
