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?

Who hates when all the goody-goodies team up and fight together to take out a common enemy? Who wishes that superheroes would just go toe to toe with one another? Who loves Injustice??

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!

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.

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!

EMERGENCY POD!!! In the wake of all of this division over the latest Star Wars film, we felt we had to debate the topic our way to see if there was any merit to the complaints we're hearing. Is The Last Jedi an abomination? Is it a breath of fresh air? Is it better than Attack of the Clones? We debate this and more with our emergency guest Brad. The reasonings were so passionate that we had to break it up into two parts! Part one is just the first round, which right off the bat gave us some tough match-ups. Hope you enjoy!

This is what this podcast is all about- debating the ridiculous, like who would win in a fight amongst Disney characters who are normally known for their singing? Does Cinderella stand a chance against the pipes (and muscles) of Hercules? We debate this and more with this week's guest Ashley.
