Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!
This week, our guest is a long-time friend of the show: Author and former Detroit Free Press beat writer Keith Gave.
Keith returns to discuss all things Detroit Red Wings, including the late-season collapse that sent the franchise back into the draft lottery for a ninth consecutive year, team captain Dylan Larkin voicing his disappointment regarding the organization not making a major moveat the trade deadline, GM Steve Yzerman's response to Larkin in what was a somewhat contentious end-of-season press conference, the current state of the NHL playoffs and reminices about his days as the Wings beat writer.
We also discuss the Detroit Pistons' hard-fought six-game first-round playoff loss to the New York Knicks and the Detroit Tigers' red-hot opening month, entering May with the best record in the AL (22-13, .629) and top run differential (+63) in all of MLB.
We also play Greg's Birthday Game and name our respective Jerk of the Week.
Programming note: Al is in northern Michigan working with limited bandwidth, so this week's podcast upload is the raw, unedited audio.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
