* Hey, it worked for Seinfeld! So this week we do a show about … nothing. M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) yak on and on, while Joey Zuver maintains his igloo.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE: ML hypes upcoming shows before finally relenting and getting this week’s show under way by musing about Dwayne Johnson’s new biographic series.* A listener asks about former House Speaker Lee Chatfield’s hasty ouster from a lucrative gig, inspiring a discussion of how term-limited politicos may make decisions that set them up for what comes next. * ML segues to a reminiscence about an epic summer surveillance of some fat cats that segues to a reminiscence of a stakeout that almost went wrong that he thinks is fascinating and Shawn and Marc merely think is very, very … interesting. (Special guest Ed Murphy disagrees, but that comes much later.)* GEEK OF THE WEEK:  Texas and the First Brother make a bid, but the Civil War re-enactor who lost his chicken at a Cracker Barrel takes the prize!* ROOM 7609:  We listen to listeners. So this week we’re listening to listener choice “Sudno” by Molchat Doma. Steppe lively!* FIRST AMENDMENT TIME: Our viewers and listeners take over the show, finally providing some quality content to an hour of their lives most people wish they could take back.* HARD OUT: Need a new ride?
