Welcome to the bracket, episode 23. Today we are doing worst states. We do not have

co-le the McMahon today. We do not have Tommy Spokes either. We are joined by Spider because we're doing worst states. I don't know if there's anyone at Barstool better suited to go through it because out of all of us domestically, I think you've traveled the most out of maybe anyone that works at Barstool, right?

Probably one of them. Yeah, I've done a lot of travel to some obscure places. You know, that's the great thing of Barstool.

And that's why I think you'd be like a perfect person to get on this bracket. Let's just jump straight into it. But before we do, let's hear from our good friends over at Mac Weldon.

The new collection, the Atlas jogger, half-sip and full-sip jacket are all built for success, rain or shine with comfortable water resistant fabric. I wear Mac Weldon stuff all the time, literally wearing their shorts right now, crazy comfortable. And everyone didn't even get introduced to until they first sponsored us. And now it's like basically all I wear. It's so great. You can wear it basically like, doesn't need to be like if you're going out, you're going to work, you're going to this, you're going to that, you can be home slouching. It doesn't matter.

So help me God if people choose states like New York or New Jersey. Those aren't bad. Anyways, let's get to the first one.

Okay, let's get to the first one. We have the number 12 seed New York state where most of us are living right now at this second state that's very high in taxes.

You should put the pay a lot to live here. And I think it may be not be though, it's probably not going to end up being the worst state.

But we need to have a number one on here because the sake of the graphic people are going to go nuts about it. And number two, like it's probably one of the most overrated states.

Like everyone's like, oh, I want it. When I grow up, I want to move to New York City and live do this. And like it sucks. It's not really that great.

And going up against them is number five seed, New Jersey, New Jersey, awful roads, smells like shit.

I think the most dumping sites out of any state in the country, which is seemingly impossible.

I really bet traffic taxes like all this shit, not a great place to live. Steve, I know you're there right now.

But I mean, there's something there is a little bit of leniency. I think I have to give you a spider. We'll start with you. New York and New Jersey, which state do you think is worse?

Jersey's worse, Jersey's worse. And I'll tell you why because New York is better because it has it all going on. If New York City's not for you, you got Western New York, you got Buffalo, you got bills, football, etc.

Miss me with this whole narrative. Oh, technically the fucking giants and jets play in New Jersey, whatever. If that's what the small dub that you Jersey losers want sick. Like New York, we also got the city. We got upstate.

We got Western. They're different. Everything's going on here. There's everything between like big herb and metropolis and a lot of opportunity to quiet small farm towns.
