## Resource

In this episode of THE Take with Jackson Burlison, I am joined by the host of Three’s a Crowd, Preston Vargas, to fill out our brackets for March Madness. It’s personally one of my favorite times of the year, so make sure to join in on the fun by joining my bracket pool. Link is below to fill out your bracket. Also, make sure to show some love to Mracks, who provides the intro and outro music for the show. Mracks just released a new album called Until Further Notice, which features 17 hip-hop songs. The link to the album is below as well. Enjoy the pod, everyone, and good luck filling out those brackets. #marchmadness #ncaabasketball #collegebasketball #ncaabracket #bracketchallenge #ncaa #basketball #sports #podcast Mracks new album: https://music.apple.com/us/album/until-further-notice/1879338653 Preston's channel: https://youtube.com/@threesacrowd-f8f?si=MFEW4ipNJ1OxNDLG Bracket Pool: https://fantasy.espn.com/tc/sharer?challengeId=277&from=espn&context=GROUP_INVITE&edition=espn-en&groupId=a55520df-2383-4c0a-8e8d-111885996eaf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetake_with_jb?igsh=MTdqN3lydWF6aXNocA== Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/takepodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetakewithjb?_r=1&_t=ZP-94jWUd69Uj8X: https://x.com/thetake_with_jb?s=21&t=GOYmGDDP0D3alQkBNLCGywTHE Take Articles: https://thetakewriting.wordpress.com/ YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/hMg5nU0ghh0
