AJ and Rhys are back to have a look at the shortened Round 12 of the NRL season.It's been a crazy week; the boys look at all the carnage at Belmore with Lachlan Galvin arriving as Reed Mahoney and Toby Sexton look set to go out the door. We decide what the go is at the Bulldogs moving forward amid the off field signing chaos.The Dogs, albeit depleted struggled on Thursday night against the Dolphins. Isaiya Katoa and Francis Molo continue their strong run form as the Dogs outside of Josh Curran and a couple others. Friday night saw the Eels led by Dean Hawkins, Junior Paulo and Jack Williams destroy a pretty lethargic Manly side with AJ ripping into Luke Brooks' ambitions to partner Jamal Fogarty in the halves. Saturday saw the Knights beat an opposition, they are familiar with, a reserve grade Panthers side as Fletcher Sharpe begins the drum beating around Kalyn Ponga's future, along with Dylan Lucas starring. Saturday's last game saw the Roosters prove way too strong for the Sharks. After AJ gets his gloating out of the way, Rhys calms him down with a scathing assessment of the Cronulla win as the Roosters young core delivers another titanic upset in 2025. The match of the round in Auckland lived up to expectations, Canberra winning a brutal struggle against the Warriors who once again switched off in the second half. We assess the battle of the forwards and the strong performance of Savelio Tamale. We then switch gears to State of Origin as the boys draw their allegiances to preview the opener from Suncorp.

Hooker is the roughest position in SuperCoach, so much so it's almost impossible to find a genuine keeper following the injury to Peter Mamouzelous. Meanwhile, the scramble is on for CTW stunners with Jaxon Purdue peaking at a similar price to the likes of Fletcher Sharpe, Dylan Lucas, Herbie Farnworth, KL Iro and Sua Fa'alogo.

Welcome to your Daily Detroit for Monday, December 2, 2024. Jer Staes and Fletcher Sharpe get into the latest happenings in Southeast Michigan. As we approach the end of the year, we reflect on resolutions, goals, and unexpected developments in the city. Our first story revolves around General Motors' bold announcement to demolish Detroit's iconic Renaissance Center if public funding isn't secured for its renovation plans with Dan Gilbert's Bedrock. The proposal faces skepticism from lawmakers and pushback from local architects and preservationists. Jer and Fletcher debate whether this threat is a bluff and discuss the potential impacts on Detroit's skyline. More reported info on the Freep: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2024/12/01/gm-tear-down-rencen-towers-subsidies-rejected/76658555007/  Next, changes at Stellantis as CEO Carlos Tavares steps down following a challenging year for the auto giant. The company, formed from the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler, faces significant financial challenges and a search for a new leader. The discussion touches on the future of iconic brands like Jeep and Chrysler and the evolving automotive market. Why did they let Chrysler lose their swagger? The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory on Belle Isle is set to reopen on December 4th. This historic gem, designed by George Mason and Albert Kahn, has been a beloved part of Detroit since 1904. We get into its rich history and the excitement surrounding its reopening. In sports, the Detroit Lions bolster their defense by signing former All Pro safety Jamal Adams. Despite recent injuries, Adams' versatility is seen as a valuable addition to the team. Fletcher Sharpe provides insights into what this means for the Lions' defense. Finally, we turn our attention to the Detroit Pistons. Despite a 9-13 record, the team is showing promise. Fletcher highlights the impact of players like Cade Cunningham and Malik Beasley, as well as the positive changes under new coaching. There's hope for a playoff push as the Pistons continue to develop and grow. Daily Detroit shares what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit every single day on our podcast and newsletter.

They share amusing anecdotes about foreign sports broadcasts, highlighting the unique passion and energy that different languages bring to the games. The conversation then shifts to some concerning local news. Stellantis is laying off up to 2,450 workers at their Warren truck plant, reducing shifts and discontinuing the Ram 1500 Classic. Jer and Fletcher discuss the broader implications for the local economy and the challenges facing Stellantis, including their lack of investment in R&D and declining sales across multiple brands.

Happy Friday! Today - a busy show.  A local man held prisoner by Russia was freed as part of a swap. We discuss. We get into a question some of you had about whether Detroit should bid for a future Olympics - and get into if that's something we even want to go for? Plus, some listeners weren't happy with an earlier episode where Fletcher Sharpe had strong feelings about Hulk Hogan. FYI. Devon also has strong feelings. Plus how media and audiences need to not just include voices of color, but allow them to bring their experience.  Finally, we end talking about the great brick debate in Corktown. A plan to redo Michigan Avenue in one of Detroit's oldest sections of town has caused some strong feelings - and we get into multiple sides of the discussion and where folks stand.  Yes, our cover art is AI generated nonsense, asking if what it might look like if Detroit held the Olympics. It's Friday, after all. 

On today's show with Fletcher Sharpe.... We talk Michiganders and Michigan-connected people to watch at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Fletcher shares his excitement for the games, particularly the cultural celebrations and the significance of medals to athletes from smaller countries.

Hulk Hogan) at the Detroit Lions training camp. This segment explores the mixed reactions from fans and the implications of Hogan's controversial past. Fletcher provides a nuanced perspective on the situation, questioning the appropriateness of Hogan's presence given his history. The discussion then shifts to the Detroit Lions' upcoming season, specifically focusing on kicker Jake Bates, who is stepping up due to Michael Badgley's injury.

Today we're talking about three stories around town with Fletcher Sharpe. First up, news that the old Belle Isle Zoo (technically, the Children's Zoo for a time) will be razed and turned into natural habitat. Both of us remember going to that place when it was a thing, we share our memories and a movie that was shot there. Second, the Belle Isle slide is returning this summer, says the Michigan DNR. Is riding the Giant Slide at Belle Isle your real "I'm a Detroiter" baptism? (We're of course joking, kinda?) And finally, with the rise of the WNBA - we're feeling like Detroit is on the sidelines and wax poetic about the Detroit Shock and their legacy here, and how they should be brought back, especially with the rise of the women's game.
