New episode of GirlDad is here and we're all in on March Madness! 🏀

Dad and I filled out our brackets together for both the men's and women's tournaments - and had so much fun we made it the whole episode. We dig into the history of March Madness (it started with an Illinois high school official in 1939!), break down our picks, debate mascots (the St. Louis Billikens are incredible), and somehow predicted a Cinderella upset an hour before news broke that made it even more likely.

Want to play along? We've set up the GirlDad Challenge for both tournaments. Fill out your bracket and see if you can beat us. Fair warning: we have no idea what we're doing, so the bar is low.

Let's see who knows nothing the best!
