Today, we're taking a rare break from college football and dropping a long, off-topic episode to the feed. It's been nine years after <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/the-solid-verbal-college-football/secret-garbage-bracket-3-16-2017">the original Secret Garbage Bracket</a> debuted, and we're bringing it back with an expanded 18-item field, two play-in games, and a fresh batch of submissions from the Verballerhood. The premise is the same as it was in 2017: take things that everyone seems to like, things that carry a high approval rating and rarely get questioned, and make the case that they're actually, secretly, kind of garbage. This year's bracket covers a wide range of things from modern life, from everyday conveniences and travel staples to entire cultural institutions and lifestyle choices. There are heated debates, a few philosophical tangents, and at least one matchup that spiraled into something neither of us expected.
