    Who would win in a fight - Animal Kingdom

    Who would win in a fight - Animal Kingdom

    Who's really king of the jungle? Who owns the Sahara? Are penguins vicious enough to take on a lion? Well, no, but with Jake's brother David, we had a great time debating who would reign supreme in the animal kingdom among 16 other unique creatures. We also learn way too much about Gorilla anatomy...

    Did you have a favorite animal growing up? Did they make the bracket? Could they be our champion?

    Top Inventions (recent history)

    Top Inventions (recent history)

    We're surrounded by some of the most incredible inventions ever conceived. Think you could live without any of them? That's what we debated with guest Jones in this week's episode of the Bracket Buddies. We also argue about the future for other people's children because based on this episode, we're definitely not having kids if we can help it!

    The Hunger Games with Action Movie Characters

    The Hunger Games with Action Movie Characters

    Cheesy one liners, unnecessary explosions, and testosterone for days, and no I'm not just describing our panel this week... No, this week we've pit 16 Action Movie Characters against each other, but rather than just let them go at it we thought it would be fun to throw them into a scenario that even John McClane isn't prepared for - The Hunger Games!

    That's right, with guest Chris, we debate who's combination of hand-to-hand fighting skills, expertise with weapons, and ability to adapt gives them the best chance to walk away from the over the top explosion that is this week's bracket challenge.

    Who would win in a fight - Harry Potter Characters

    Sure, people duel in Harry Potter all the time, but what if we made a real tournament out of it, with no rules? Well that is exactly what we did this week as we present the first annual 16 Wizard Cup Challenge for the Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore Trophy (doesn't quite roll off the tongue like the Stanley Cup but whatever).

    We're joined by one of our favorite guests Brady, and thanks to your feedback we've done away with the nomination segment, which means more time can be devoted to mindless debates!

    To see who we narrowed the field down to, please check out our bracket on Twitter @Bracketbuddies, and if you'd like to tell us who you think would win, or if you'd like us to bracketize one of your favorite topics, send us an email at bracketbuddies@gmail.com.

Star Wars Final Four March Madness Style

I enjoyed Ashton and his boys podcast tremendously despite the fact that I probably disagreed with everything they said however well done with good banter and joviality which is ok because the show is about opinions. I like the fact that Ashton is so passionate about the film that he said “love” like a thousand times, but if I hear him say “ I loves thar that” again I would love to light saber him. As a generation X I find it entertaining to listen to I assume generation millennium take on our beloved show, and our difference in opinion is probably generational which is why this podcasts is great because it allows us older generation X to hear younger generation thought. I like to have this intellectual discussion listened by my 12 years old nephew so if profanity , however well timed , can be deleted I would appreciate it. Ashton and his crew is great. I look forward to more broadcast and was very pleasantly surprise to find another podcast to listen to that is not sports fantasy based. Five stars.
