The boys are back in their respective studios to break down the 2021 March Madness Bracket! I can't believe it's been 2 years since we've had a March Madness and I hope we never have to skip a year again.

Timestamps:
West Bracket: 15:15ish
East Bracket: 23:30ish
South Bracket: 31:00ish
Midwest Bracket: 40:00ish
10 team parlay: somewhere around 52:20

Thanks for listening!

As promised during our first episode back, we have cobbled together 16 of the best casual dining restaurant chains for a bracket! No self-serve or buffets, they must have a wait staff, nothing 24-hour and the basic criteria: if it was late at night and you had to stop for food and these were the only 2 options, which would you choose?

A rough timestamp:
Mel-s Drive In vs Hooters (8:00)
BWW vs Bennigans (18:00)
Olive Garden vs Red Lobster (25:00)
Red Robin vs PF Changs (31:00)
TGIFridays vs Applebee's (37:00)
BJs vs Outback Steakhouse (45:00)
Chevy's vs Cheesecake Factory (51:00)
Islands vs Chili's (58:00)
FF and Finals (104:00ish)

To be honest, those timestamps are such guesses. If anybody mentions this line at all I'll keep track of them better during the next pod.

Thanks for listening!

Hello, it's us. We are back for one of our favorite pods to do - the Super Bowl pod! As had been tradition in the past, we went over an hour so time breaks below if you want to jump around:

0:00-10:00ish - SB plans, favorite SB food, we shoot the shit.
10:00-32ish - Intern Eric drop his 3 favorite NarrativEs going into the Super Bowl, do yourself a favor and listen to some RayJ songs first
32:00-58ish - We each break down our 3 favorite props for the game handing out bronze/silver/golds in order of confidence.
58-The End - who doesn't love a good outro.

Thanks for listening, or just clicking the Play button and letting it run, and we'll see you soon for our fast-casual restaurant bracket!

After a 2 year hiatus, the Fired Up pod is back! Using a similar structure to our most recent pods we broke down 8 different potential 'pod topics' and argued our way down to a single topic that will be the first full-length 16-team bracket for us to breakdown in February. Please excuse as we dust off the rust.

First round matchups:
Fast Casual Restaurants vs Serial Killers (10:00ish - no idea)
Theme Park Things vs Cartoons (16:50 maybe?)
TV Game Shows vs Cults (23:00 or thereabouts)
Big Mouth Characters vs Drinking Games (27:00)

Excited to be back and next up is our Fired Up Super Bowl pod next week!
