* Woody Woodriffe welcomes ML back to the podcast by sharing his obsession and expertise on the Tour de France. Marc, who is good in the mountains, and Shawn, a natural-born sprinter, try to keep up while Joey Zuver drafts and waits for his chance to claim the Maillot Jaune.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE: If you love Detroit sports, then you know – and love – Fox 2’s Woody Woodriffe. But did you know how he became the Motor City’s most visible fan of the world’s greatest bicycle race? Listen and learn how it happened.* Woody LOVED Lance Armstrong … until the doping scandal. But nothing will diminish ML’s appreciation for his star turn in “Dodgeball.” * Three weeks ago, ML proposed solutions to the flooding that swamped his home and so many others. Now, city officials are calling for similar solutions — and endorsing some of his other proposals to keep the water out of the bath tub that keeps overflowing!* It wasn’t supposed to spark another Great Debate, but ML’s announcement that the first-ever Soul of Detroit sponsored student athlete will be revealed on next week’s show rekindled the age-old debate.* GEEK OF THE WEEK: The guy who paid a fortune to join Jeff Bezos in space – but then missed the boat – wins this week’s prize.* ROOM 7609: Before Woody fell in love with the Tour de France, the world fell in love with Kraftwerk’s Tour de France. Maybe you will, too?* FIRST AMENDMENT TIME: Listeners heap praise upon last week’s show, suggesting that the less is more. ML responds.* HARD OUT: Need a new ride?
