We had to wait until the tourney started to be able to see everyone's brackets so this is as last minute as it gets! Everyone had some interesting picks so it should be fun to see who rode the lightning the best!

My friend Alex comes on the show to give some good insight and obscure player references around the tournament and first day of play.

Here's some links referenced in the show:

As I previously discovered, there is an autofill feature on ESPN's brackets and they have 4 autofill options. This episode I explore the autofill options! 

If you want to join my group and fill out your own brackets or just check mine out follow the instructions or link below!

To kick off March Madness coverage and fun here on the Rambling Viking I have started a bracket challenge group on ESPN where I filled out live on the show my "RIDE THE LIGHTNING" bracket, which basically means I did no extra research and went with my gut instincts on the selections. The invitation is open to everyone who listens or friends of listeners to join the group and do their own RIDE THE LIGHTNING brackets to see who can ride it the best! I am going to cover each round and see how the ride the lightning brackets panned out and if you just want to see my bracket join the group too! It's on ESPN so go pull up their bracket challenge! Fill out your bracket before listening to this episode if you can!

you know what this is about

Today is a doozie. I cover some whacky news that, yes, is real and ridiculous on every level. The Meat of the show is my argument that apologizing to the cancel culture mob does nothing good for you or the culture at large because it's only giving them more power and guess what, you still get cancelled!

Baseball Team Suspended  

Lady asked to wear mask in drive thru

Super Straight

The Bachelor Cancellation

Gina Carano Sunday Special

Jane Doe on Megyn Kelly

Mumford and Sons Member

Whole Foods Family Kicked out for disabled daughter not wearing mask

It's been a while, so let's just chat

I took some notes of random thoughts and things I saw this last week and I'm going to run through them Rapidly in this episode.

Connor and I reflect on our predictions we made way back in September regarding the recently nameless Washington Football Team and how having no name but team can translate into success.

I found this gem on reddit representing how politics is silly and hypocritical, in a funny way!
