We're back after the Labor Day holiday, and talking about Fletcher's racing in the Hamtramck Labor Day Yacht Festival, an event filled with human sized soap car derbies and water balloons. Despite making it to the finals for the fifth straight year, his team, Whiskey in the Jar, fell short again.

Jer recounts his bike ride along the Dequindre Cut and the need for better connectivity for cyclists during major events. The conversation shifts to the aesthetics and logistics of fencing off Hart Plaza for festivals, balancing safety and accessibility.

As the Detroit Lions gear up for their first game against the Rams, we debate the idea of honoring former quarterback Matt Stafford. We also preview the game.

Finally, we touch on the marijuana market in Michigan, where prices have hit historic lows, sparking significant sales. We discuss the impact of neighboring states' laws and the evolving perception of marijuana use for both recreational and medicinal purposes.
