LISTEN: Do people use "Hidden Gems" too much? Lake Ohio? Plus NCAA Bracket talk

Show notes

We get into the minor irritations of life in the digital age and in Michigan... starting with a shared grievance about the overuse of the term "hidden gem" to describe anything slightly off the beaten path (or even if it isn't), wondering how context and definition have been lost in a world of fleeting content.

We talk about politician's proposal to rename Lake Erie and their discussion about that leads into the challenges of misinformation and the media's role in its perpetuation.

Plus, a preview of the upcoming NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship. We talk Michigan and Michigan State, plus a debate about what makes a good coach.

Throughout the episode, Jer and Fletcher keep it real, relatable, and distinctly Detroit.
