Where's the beef? The beef is everywhere, it seems. This is an episode where Norris Howard and Devon O'Reilly rule the show. And it's an episode about beefs. And proposed changes to marijuana policy - and we talk about the possible impact, and what might actually make more money. .  The rundown: 01:03 - Devon wants to know more about the beef between Kendrick and Drake. Norris obliges. 07:13 - Then we get into the beef between Comcast / Xfinity and Bally Sports, where viewers are losers in a season where the Detroit Tigers aren't bad. Major sports that aren't football are losing momentum, in part, because they're so hard to watch.  15:25 - Is "sports" now just American football? And this is the fastest growing sport for viewership among younger adults.  20:27 - Proposed rule changes around marijuana may impact the overall business, which is huge in volume in Michigan but low on margin. Is the real key to making money consumption lounges? Feedback - dailydetroit -at- gmail.com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211. Would love to hear from you.
