Local billionaire Dan Gilbert has joined a bid with the Ricketts family (of Chicago Cubs fame) for the storied Chelsea FC.

It's one of the most important teams in the world, not just among soccer fans.

We talk about why this is such a big deal - and Fletcher has thoughts on if he should get it and why.

Then, there's something worrying us as we recap the Memphis 901 FC match, look ahead to the U.S. Open Cup game against Michigan Stars and then this weekend on the road against Atlanta United 2. We also talk about how to solve it.

If you've shopped or dined at small businesses in Detroit, it's very possible you're familiar with a Hatch Detroit alumni.

This annual program supporting brick and mortar businesses is one of my favorites because it not only awards money, but the tools, to succeed.

And, there's a component where even if you're not starting your own thing, you can vote on who goes through to the finals to get started.

My guest is Vittoria Katanski from Hatch Detroit.
