I Yam What I Yam with Bronston Jones

Freeways, byways & direct detours were shut down. PG&E shut off power for 1000s of square miles, dozens of towns, millions of people and all those gas stations too.  Alex & Bron were always safe, but they ended up stuck in a 3 hour line for gas... So they did what comics do... they podcasted.
