    Bracket 06: States of the United States of America (with Barbara Young and Greg Young)

    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?

    Bracket 05 - LOST Characters (with Barm, Sean Davis, Cam Siemer, Jack Stovold, Sam Stovold, & Nate Tapp)

    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! On this podcast, a bunch of my friends joined me for the largest Great Bracket Racket panel yet to talk about some characters from LOST. There were so many people engaged in the conversation that we had to do a smaller bracket, which of course means a LOT of characters were left out. Bruh there are just so many characters in this show. But once we get rollin', the LOST nostalgia just keeps coming. We had to go back, and then we DID go back! WE WENT BACK! Come back with us! And we'll see you in another life, brotha! Email me at thegreatbracketracket@gmail.com And tell me who you think should've won each round. Or rank the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. Or like whatever man.

    Bracket 04: Disneyland Rides (with Brian Rudloff and Jacalyn Young)

    You ever get stuck on the Haunted Mansion? So has almost everyone who has ridden that ride. It stops a lot. If only there was a podcast about Disneyland rides you could listen to while you’re waiting for it to get moving again. Well, my friends, that very specific and bizarre prayer has been answered: a Great Bracket about Disneyland rides! SoCal natives Jacalyn & Rudy (aka Brian, from Marvel Star Wars Explorers) join in to discuss a bunch of our favorites, from Space Mountain to Peter Pan’s Flight to Rise of the Resistance. So hold onto your seats, ‘cuz this here’s the wildest ‘cast in the wilderness!

    Bracket 03: The Wire Characters (with Eric Ambler and Geoff Clarke)

    What the f**k did I do??? Well, I did a podcast about The Wire characters with Eric and Geoff! It's a special super sized bracket because there is just TOO MUCH to talk about when it comes to The Wire, and these three pals were more than up to the task. 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-ups. Who comes out on top? Just listen to find out. And don't forget to pick up some WMDs!

    Bracket 02: Eminem Songs (with Sam and Jack Stovold)

    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 "Which would you rather walk down the aisle to at your wedding?" and "Which song would you rather use to set the mood for sexy times?" It gets raucous (or should I saw Rawkus), and these three old pals couldn't be happier talking about this frequently horrifying songwriter. So grab your Slim Shady LP and get ready, cuz this shit's about to get heavy! Don't even worry if there's vomit on your sweater already.
