    Georgia vs Alabama, Braves Playoff Loss, and Dad's Hatred of Chocolate Chips

    On this episode we start with another one of Dad's Food Laws of the Universe, and that is nothing is allowed in brownies except nuts. Nate says otherwise. So we do a blind taste test to see how Dad reacts to brownies with what Dad calls "horrors" in them. Then we talk the Braves disappointing loss to what was a great season before going to the Alabama vs. Georgia game this weekend, including a great take from DawgNation's Brandon Adams. Dad tells a story of riding in a car with Coach Mark Richt for two hours where he got the full story on Georgia's crushing loss to Alabama in the 2012 SEC Championship Game. Then we make our picks for ten games this weekend and talk about the lack of upsets this year. This is a public episode.
