What year is it?! How long has it been?! We honestly aren’t really sure, but what we do know is we are finally returning from our (slightly longer than planned) hiatus. Check out this bonus episode to hear some of our favorite moments from season one. Think of it as a teaser – since SEASON TWO is coming next month!
Welcome back to Brackets!
Due to work related travel and conflicting schedules, Brackets is going to be on a hiatus until March 2020. Check back in around then for new episodes!
With two brand new Bracketologists, we have a sampling of both local and cross country as Melanie McNulty and Kevin Renn jump into the madness. Join the fun as we discuss the dangers of being barefoot in the city, whether or not it’s ok to describe skin as “creamy,” and the bygone era of wondering how we got ourselves into our current situation.

‘Popeyes Chicken Sandwich’ vs ‘Baby Yoda Memes’

We know that baby’s-breath is a flower, there are plenty of other options to explore. For instance, what about literal baby’s breath and its physical capabilities? What if it was just the name of a cocktail? These questions and more are answered as veteran Bracketologist Sam Otter returns to discuss the merit of decorative vases, fighting with a shrunken version of The Rock, and how easy it is (for some people) to confuse mega church pastors.

The spooky season is here! To celebrate, Brackets is going out to the suggestion graveyard and digging up a few that were gone too soon in order to give them a second chance. That’s right, every contender in this episode’s bracket is a suggestion that didn’t make it out of the FIRST ROUND of its original bracket. Join Zach, Jared, and Adam as they give dead suggestions new life and try to find humor in those that were previously determined not good enough to win even once. Spooky.
