Who am I?
We are True Story Bro Podcast where we discuss the latest happenings in ways you'd talk with your friends, with semi serious discussions and jokes along the way. We've always had these kinds of discussions that were thought provoking with many friends in our lives and this was a way to sort of have those kinds of discussions but on a larger format.
