Episode notes
Episode 22 kicks off with an important debate: Is eating pizza four times in one week… artistic?
After breaking down “artisan” pizza (and how to actually pronounce it), the cousins pivot into a surprisingly real conversation about AI and creativity—including whether AI is ruining art or just changing how it’s used.
Then things go completely off the rails.
Michael introduces a March Madness bracket challenge, forcing Madison—who openly admits he has zero basketball knowledge—to fill out a full tournament bracket live.
What follows:
- Picks based on state size, vibes, and religion
- Questionable logic about Samoans and basketball
- A championship prediction that may or may not age horribly
- And a serious discussion about whether a perfect bracket is basically impossible (it is)
From there, the episode spirals into:
- Bird feeder engineering (and squirrel sabotage strategies)
- DIY backyard projects vs. actual motivation
- Rising gas prices and global shipping concerns
- And why winning a billion-dollar bracket might still not be worth it
It’s chaotic, it’s unpredictable, and it might be the most confident guesswork you’ve ever heard.
