Really, Bro?

Have you ever wondered why bros don’t talk about family issues, depression, or heartbreak? We did too. So we’re gonna try something crazy--two bros talking about emotional issues where everyone can hear...we know, spicyyyyyyy. Listen in for real talk from two real bros, and an insane amount of bro puns (#brosbeforeshows, #broledgeispower, #ebrotional, #goingthroughthebrotions… oh yeah, we’re just getting started). Really, bro? Yeah bro, really.

Brought to you by Evan Kanji and Sammy Potter out of KZSU 90.1 Stanford. Want to talk to us? DM us on Instagram @reallybropod!
