Tiger Playoff Watch: With the Detroit Tigers' recent victory against the Rays, the team is on the brink of a potential playoff spot.
Jer and Norris reminisce about the Tigers' glory days and discuss the impact of a possible playoff run on the city and its businesses.

With 191 workers facing layoffs, including all temporary employees, Jer and Norris analyze the implications for the local job market and the broader EV industry.
Disastrous Bridgerton Ball: What was supposed to be an elegant Bridgerton-themed ball turned into a royal disappointment for many attendees. From undercooked food to minimal decor and even a stripper pole, the event fell short of expectations, sparking outrage among fans. We unpack what went seems to have gone wrong and discuss the importance of setting higher standards for events in Detroit.
