Episode 8 - Paradigm Shifts

Episode 8 - Paradigm Shifts

 

Recorded on: April 10th, 2019

 

 *Apologies in advance for some of the audio balance we didn't have our normal audio setups across the board so Chris was a little on the quiet side*

 

The full crew is back together this week to talk about a bigger picture, philosophical concept after a jarring week of "upsets." When do you abandon a sinking ship? When do you stay the course? We talk about managing stubbornness and what it takes for each of us to change our mind on a team and give a few examples. WE PHILOSOPHY NOW! After that longer opening discussion we dive into the finals and semifinals for the major regions as well as a brief discussion of some of the wildcard regions. Storytime with John, Chris' treasure trove of monopoly money, Bingo sheets, weird viral video references, Robots against Humans, Kal is a prophet for calling Auburn, and, OF COURSE, PICKS OF THE WEEK!
