Welcome back to another episode of the Modern Apes Podcast with Tristan Bowling & Daniel Bridge-Gadd . It is time for another one of the more popular episodes we do here at TMA....Bracket Wars BABY!!! (And just in time for the 4th of July)
This time we are doing something that will likely hit close to home for our audience....BEER!
The boys break down a 32 brand beer March Madness style bracket, where there can be only one winner. Obviously Tristan is a Coors light fan through and through, while Daniel is a loyalist to the Anheuser-Busch company and the most popular beer in America(the world) Bud Light. Should make for an interesting battle where we really have no clue who will win.
Make sure to leave your thoughts on the on the Tournament. We would love to hear who you thought won, and if you disagree with any of the picks that we made, and why.
Then make sure to like, sub, and for the love of all that is holy....smash that notification button so you know when we drop.
