Bracket 06: States of the United States of America (with Barbara Young and Greg Young) 27.07.2025 1:09:37

Everything is going just great right now. We can all agree on that. That's why it felt like the PERFECT time to have my parents on to talk about their experience traveling around the country in an RV, and do some bracketeering along the way. Will we talk about YOUR state? Maybe! Will we talk about Canada? Oh, most definitely. But what state will come out on top? Who gives a shit?

Hoo boy remember LOST? Remember how everyone was so hype about it for a few years and then everyone got so mad about it? Boy do we!

From Bunk to Marlo to Clay Davis, the world of Baltimore is explored in depth here, with a wide variety of kooky questions and unpredictable match...

These brackets take time! But don't let the wait scare you. There is a second episode, and it's here! And there will be a third episode! And more! I hope... Sam and Jack join in to discuss a subject near and dear to all their hearts: the music of Marshall Mathers. It's a diverse set of songs, with some deep cuts and some big hits. And in classic bracket fashion, they're answering questions like "W...
