The Outcast Podcast – Blog Recap: Tribute to Griff Gotti, Branding Blunders, Leaked War Plans & Sweet 16 Madness
Episode Date: [Insert This Week’s Date]

This week on The Outcast Podcast, the crew came in hot with a blend of heart, humor, and “how the hell did that happen?” moments. We covered it all—remembering a fallen friend, roasting brands that missed the mark, uncovering a national security oopsie, and diving into Sweet 16 bracket madness.

A Tribute to Griff Gotti
We kicked off the show with a moment of remembrance for our brother Griff Gotti, who passed away on this day back in 2020. Griff was more than just a friend—he was family. A real one. His voice, his energy, his laughter, and his stories are still with us, living rent-free in our hearts and in the studio. Whether you knew him from the booth or the block, you knew Griff was one of one. We shared some classic Griff stories, laughed, reflected, and honored the legacy he left behind. Rest easy, Gotti. You’ll never be forgotten.

When Brands Miss the Mark
From awkward slogans to full-blown marketing disasters, we took a hilarious ride through the land of branding mishaps. You’d think billion-dollar companies would have a few more filters before putting stuff out in the world, but apparently not. We broke down everything from laundry detergent with a name that sounds like a villain, to fast food items no one asked for (looking at you, pickled donut burger). The crew voted on which branding faceplant was the worst—and funniest.

Oops… You’re in the War Room
In a real-life case of “Reply All Gone Wrong”, a journalist recently found themselves accidentally added to a military group chat that contained war plans. Yes—actual war plans. We’re talking troop movements, tactical objectives, the whole playbook. We unpacked how something this wild even happens in 2025, and what it says about our national security protocols. Spoiler: Memphis doesn’t trust group chats anymore.

Sweet 16 Bracket Chaos
March Madness is in full effect, and so is the bracket beef. We broke down this year’s Sweet 16 matchups, highlighted the biggest upsets so far, and roasted each other’s busted brackets. Tom Kat, as usual, thinks he’s got it all figured out. Ramo's bracket is still somehow alive. Gentry’s might as well be a napkin. The crew also weighed in on who’s looking Final Four-ready and who’s about to choke under the pressure.

This episode had everything: love, laughs, leaks, and layups. From honoring Griff Gotti to clowning on corporate fails and debating bracketology, The Outcast Podcast brought you another week of unfiltered truth and unpredictable fun.
