* M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) get their just desserts. Joey Zuver opts for more nutritious fare.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  Incumbent Michigan Journalist of the Year Tresa Baldas (Twitter @tbaldas/Facebook Tresa Baldas) discusses her recent coverage of the controversy at the Macomb County Medical Examiner’s office that resulted in the Detroit Free Press publishing a headline including the phrase “penis cake”.* Marc wonders whether there was a recent birthday that coincided with the delivery of the penis cake, which arrived shortly after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.* M.L. stresses that no one should have to work in a hostile workplace, recommending that employees under duress contact their human resources director, the EEOC or an attorney.* Shawn expresses support for biscotti. Yeah, we know that seems out of left field. But if you listen to the show, it makes more sense than you might otherwise think.* The news organization that employs M.L. and Shawn may soon be referred to as the Not-So-Free Press, as the Detroit Free Press finally builds a wall, a pay wall — and you’re going to pay for it! Listen and learn how it works, hear Shawn attack M.L. and find out what it’s all about. Here’s a link to subscribe. Here’s what Free Press Editor Peter Bhatia had to say about it.* M.L. reads a letter from the loved ones of Honest ? John Thompson, who was the guest of honor on last week’s show, which was the first-ever Detroit podcast wake! This graphic below should help you find the location of a memorial plaque for John on Belle Isle. * Shawn has been killing it with his sports columns since returning from his furlough, prompting some of us to wonder why he doesn’t get laid off more often!* THE GREAT DEBATE: The boys debate who should decide whether to pull the plug on college football.* GEEK OF THE WEEK: This week’s selection is SUCH A BASTARD that the award has been temporarily renamed to appropriately capture his villainy.* THIS WEEK IN SOFT HISTORY: What does history have to do with small lobsters? Matt tells all — and plants an image that will be almost impossible to forget. But, boy, is it girth it!
