ML Soul of Detroit

The Real Anchorman – April 6, 2021


Listen Later


* Mort Crim anchors an encounter with fellow WDIV alum ML Elrick (in which it becomes clear that ML’s work at Local 4 made no impression whatsoever on the legendary newsman).* M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), and Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) enjoy a convivial conversation while Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) shows off his new haircut. Joey Zuver wiles the time studying many leather-bound volumes.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  The plan was ML would yammer on and on and on about the official launch of his campaign for Detroit City Council … but then he was able to book Mort Crim, who is promoting his new book, and so the show ended up being pretty interesting despite ML’s best efforts!* Mort, again, showing not even a glimmer that he was aware of ML’s time at WDIV, talks about his affair with pioneering former NBC anchorwoman Jessica Savitch, which his revealed in his memoir “Anchored: A Journalist’s Search for Truth.”* Faith — his early faith, the evolution of his faith, and the hard-core conservative faith of Paul Harvey’s wife, Angel — play an important role in Mort’s life. Listen and find out how.* Mort discusses how, after retiring from WDIV, he became a cultural icon as the inspiration for Will Ferrell’s “Anchorman,” provided the lead-in to The White Stripes’ classic “Little Acorns,” and offered self-parodying bon mots on “Detroiters.” * You can find Mort’s book at your local bookseller, buy a copy he will sign and inscribe to your specification at www.mortcrimspeaks.com or on Amazon. * Shawn listens respectfully as the adults speak, then calls an audible and demands that Marc and ML get right to listener feedback.* Once Shawn has moved on to watch the Tigers, ML finds a way to plug his city council campaign, which officially kicked off on Monday. You can find out more via his campaign’s social media handles — #ML4DETROIT — and his campaign website, www.ml4detroit.com. He shamelessness asks for donations, which are quick and easy on the website.* GEEK OF THE WEEK:  Right out of the Gaet-z, ML takes a shot at Q, then rails at corporations who took money to save jobs — but laid people off anyway — and who not only didn’t pay taxes, but got money BACK from the government. Marc doesn’t have a problem with it.* ROOM 7609:  ML came up with a Bee Gees themed intro for Mort Crim, mainly so he could justify playing the precursors to New Wave and tee up Shawn, who has been raving about a Bee Gees documentary for weeks. But before the first strains of “Tragedy” play, Shawn plays out a podcast tragedy and dips out to get back to work. Bad Shawn — BAD!* HARD OUT: Need a new ride? Roy O’Brien has been putting metro Detroiters on wheels for 74 years. Before you shop anywhere else, get on the right track to 9 Mile and Mack and check out their super groovy showroom.
