The Bro-C Podcast

Deep into the second season, like a pizza guy in a young Julie Cooper-Nichol, and the Bros are hitting their stride. In this pair of episodes the Bros discuss serious topics like how much loyalty you owe blood relatives, cool bars for teens, going gay for Rebecca De Mornay, and less serious topics like shoplifting and teenage gigolos. Why can't these adults operate a VCR? Will Carter let Sandy hold the TV remote? Watchout for our next episode because it might just be a review of 1983's Risky Business. Yes, you should watch/rewatch Risky Business.

Like a 2017 diss track, the Bro0C is going back to back (to back) with three episodes. Two of which are all time classics: upside down kiss and trespassing in the mall. Covered in this ep: The US bros explain to the kiwi bro that yes, guns really are that common; we discuss who our favorite wet teenagers are, and witness Ryan almost do a hate crime (punch a lesbian). Oh! And Julie does a porno!

It's another Christmakuh miracle! Well it would be if Jon posted this a month ago. The Bros are back in town and they've brought a friend. In this very very sexy episode we discuss how hot terrorism is, going gay to piss of your parents, and how thinking about you ex's sexlife can spark Gamergate. Oh and two episodes of The OC, of course.

We recorded this about a year ago but no way I want the apocalypse to happen and I have an unedited podcast sitting on my desktop.Follow the bros on Twitter:Jon - @heyjonandersonTyler - @tylertreeseAlex - @ALFighter27

Recorded in November 2018, it's honestly one of our funniest episodes ever. As always, the bros explore their own sexuality through discussing the romantic lives of Ocean County teenagers and their parents.

I'm kind of jealous of the other "Bro C" podcasts who maintained like a regular schedule or whatever, but they probably don't kink shame like we do. Shoutout to you if you're still paying attention.  Episode description from TV Guide: "The Cohens' 20th wedding anniversary turns into a date that will live in infamy after they catch Ryan and Lindsey in a compromising position and Seth sneaking out of the house to meet Alex. Twice. While grounded. But neither of these crimes compare to what the boys pull when Sandy and Kristen try to steal one night to toast their marriage. Meanwhile, Summer fails to impress Zach's mother, and Julie drives the final nail in Marissa's fling with D.J."

The boys are back in town and they're asking the tough questions, like what happened in 2005? And does Francis leave his glasses on when he "makes love?" For real though, this is just a back door pilot for Jon and Tyler's new Kanye podcast. Episode description from TV Guide:"Marissa lets loose on her folks after learning of their affair---and how Jimmy plans to end it; Caleb wins back his freedom in court, but remains a loser in Kirsten's eyes; Ryan and Lindsey try to figure out if the Cohen family ties apply to them; and Seth's “bad boy” phase nearly sinks Summer and Zach's romance."Get two weeks of Hulu for free!Follow the bros on Twitter:Jon - @heyjonandersonTyler - @tylertreeseAlex - @ALFighter27

It's a mothercucking Chrismukkah miracle. Holy crap folks, we've got a goddamned banger of an ep on our hands. Sure it's been a while since we've recorded, but your boys have chemistry and they've got the formula for excitement. Like every episode, we talk about marital fidelity, bad dad Jimmy, legal advice, and arts & crafts.Episode description from TV Guide:"Summer comes to the rescue after the guest list for Seth's Chrismukkah gathering triggers a chain of events at the Cohen compound that dashes everyone's spirits. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Julie struggle to keep their newfound, uh, respect, for each another under wraps. Or at least between the sheets."Get two weeks of Hulu for free!Follow the bros on Twitter:Jon - @heyjonandersonTyler - @tylertreeseAlex - @ALFighter27

Seth gets punched and it's glorious.

I don't remember what this episode is about.

Jon's wife shows up and that doesn't deter us at all. The boys (shockingly) fawn over the new ladies of The O.C., while Kadie Anderson gives them what for. A raucous time is had by all.

While Seth and Ryan go back to school, The Bro-C boys get gay in record time. Who are you shipping? Alex chooses Jon and Sandy in a hot dad-on-dad crossover. Alex chooses DJ for himself. Tyler is volcel.

While everyone agrees that maybe a single season would have been sufficient, these idiots are back and so is Australia's number one sexport, Nato Johnston. That was a portmanteau of "sex" and "export." Topics not discussed include anime, booby anime mouse pads, and anime podcasts. We try a new direction with this hot ASMR trend. Jon is bad at whispering.

Guess I'm riding it...again! Join the boys and special guest Nato Johnston, as we look back at the crazy first season of the Bro-C.

An otherwise disappointing episode is brought to a close with emotional devastation, and also the boys talk about the first season finale of The O.C. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken this idiotic journey with us. Our schedule may be irregular, but our love for this joke that's lasted 27 episodes (with many more to come) is not. See you next season (also next week).

Buckle up for one of the best episodes of The O.C. and worst episodes of the Bro-C. Just kidding, those shows where Tyler stayed up for three days straight will always be our worst. We recorded this so long ago that it's hard to write a description, but let's assume topics include trucker hats, sex workers, and Oceans 11.

You know how Alex likes to spark some topical conversations? Well he sparked the fuck out of a topic and it burned this motherfucker to the ground. Holy shit, naked boys, sad boys, dogs, and condoms. 

Somebody check on Tyler, 'cause we have to say goodbye to our sweet baby boy. But Sad Boy Luke (SBL) is going to Portland with the hippies and the donuts and the gay dads. We also talk about emo-assed AIM away messages, Alex finally hops on the Gorgeous Guy Luke train (yeeeaaaaahhh), and some other stuff. Probably.

In this very focused episode, that is not offensive at all, the boys discuss religion. Maybe this is not the episode to introduce to your Jewish grandmother or gentile mother. Just saying.

Listen, I know we may overuse the term "certified banger," but if you ever believe us, now's the time. This episode is fucking incredible. There's a weird subplot where a bunch of kids save Hailey from her job teaching Jazzercize, but mostly we have incredible moments and an awesome performance by Paris Hilton. Oh but in the podcast who fucking knows. 

How am I supposed to write a fucking podcast description when the love of my life is getting on a goddamn plane to Pittsburgh!?!?! You know how I feel about Pittsburgh. And her hair just got good again. Whatever. This week the bros are joined by Harold "Hbomb" Price, who actually brought the three bros together in the first place on Hbomb & Friends, which is a very serious video game podcast where the guests have to talk about video games. Bye Anna. Fuck Seth Cohen, she's #notyourshield anymore, GamerGate.

Hey there. No episode this week (or last), but the bros talked video games last week so might as well put it out here. We'll be back with a Bro-C episode next week.

Bear with us we had a couple of weird audio issues that might've been the result of Jon trying to yell like a morning zoo host. Join us as we discuss what seems to be the Cohen family meeting their first person of color and a high school using prostitution as a charity fundraiser.

It's a Valentine's Day miracle! This episode is being published 13 years to the day after this episode of The O.C. takes place. Also Tyler got a mic stand, so I think this is a really high quality show. The boys talk about sex, betrayal, and how cool the Newport Beach denizens are for being poly. Francis fucks.

This one's a mess even by our standards. If you can make it through the intro, buckle in for a rocky conclusion the Oliver story arc and our last episode (for now) with Joey Takegami. Meanwhile, Julie Cooper starts to ponder statutory rape and Seth blows off the perfect woman.

I'll let you in on a little secret - we record these episodes three at a time, several weeks ahead of time. So sometimes it's hard to remember what we talked about. That didn't happen this time, as we waxed philosophical about the demise of Zelda Scott Fitzgerald, an honorary bro, Tyler's plan to be bewitched by a Wiccan, and of course, "Skadoosh." We're again joined by Kinda Funny's very funny Joey Takegami. Skadoosh.

Oliver takes a turn for the outright sinister and so do the bros. Well all the bros except for our first guest bro, Kinda Funny's Joey Takegami. Finally this show gets a little credibility as we welcome an actual Orange County resident. Anyway, Sandy gets drunk and buys a restaurant or something while the teenagers go to Palm Springs unsupervised. Luke looks good in golf clothes.

Frankly there's a bunch of nonsense about trying to buy drugs, but this episode is (once again) about how awesome Luke is. Oh and Sandy Cohen's constant perversion of the legal system.

The bros kick off 2004 with a bang by going to a very polite swingers party where Tyler gets paired with a less attractive partner, but does the right thing. The boys also explore intimacy issues.

Christmas and Chanukah are totally happening and that means one thing: the Bro-C bros have reassembled to talk about Chrismukkah and kissing each other. And Christmas traditions. And what would be in their starter packs they give to two girlfriends. And Alex talks about the time he dressed up in Wonder Woman lingerie and took a business ethics class. Also Jon says some pretty offensive things and Tyler takes meticulous notes. And they're still making jokes about cuckolding. Oh and Luke found out his dad is gay last week so he took this episode off.

We told you. We freaking told you. We told you Luke is awesome and actually has an interesting story arc. The producers of The OC handle some sensitive subject matter with surprising sensitivity. Which is more than we can say for Alex, Jon, and Tyler, who spend the better part of an hour ragging on a (hopefully) long forgotten internet hate campaign while making cuckolding jokes.

This week on the Bro-C, the bros discuss if their show is actually just a super long episode of H-Bomb and Friends and/or just the dumbest joke gone awry. We also go off on a tangent where Jon shows the other bros how to lifehack ramen. Meanwhile, in Orange County, the A plot sees Ryan & Marissa stealing a car (has he learned nothing from the Cohens?) and the B plot has #GamerGate organizer, Seth, miraculously juggling two women at Thanksgiving dinner. The B, C, and D plots feature adults. The E plot of Kirsten getting wasted is really worth the price of admission.

This week, we bro out with the bros on The Bro-C… or do we? Which love triangle do the bros best mimic? Is it Kirsten-Sandy-Rachel? Seth-Summer-Anna? Jimmy-Julie-Caleb? Nope, no love triangle, only a love rectangle with the boys and Chip. Anyway, the ocean is like, super vast and endless, man. What is life?

This episode is all about Anna, I think. Actually, we record these up to two weeks in advance and I'm pretty sure it's all about Anna. Oh! It's also about paying tribute to (and kind of ripping off) The Karate Kid and some really dumb misunderstandings. And Anna. Did we mention Anna? She's in this episode a lot.

The Summer's over and it's time to go back to school. OR go to rehab. The kids hatch a terrible plan, Ryan skips out on an important test, and Marissa's parents continue to be terrible. On the upside, Luke again redeems himself.

Summer's step-mom dispatches her step-daughter to retrieve opiates and barbiturates from Mexico, Seth skips Comic-Con, the bros defend Hostess Ding Dongs and Marissa drinks to forget. In the B and C plots, Sandy get's a new job and Jimmy Cooper continues to be an absolute shitbag. Episode description from Hulu: "Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer drive to Tijuana, Mexico, where Marissa makes a potentially fatal decision; Sandy entertains a job offer; Jimmy draws Kirsten into a compromising position."

Things get weird as we discuss hooking up with Hot Pseudo-Grandma-Adjace and how Ryan mysteriously sensed a disturbance in the force which was actually Luke and Marissa confirming their love for one another by making "the beast with two backs." Frankly I gross myself out. Anyway, Summer also kisses Seth and the bros wade through some technical difficulties to bring you our longest episode yet! BEST VALUE!

After taking a look at the top films and news stories from this week in 2003, we take a deep dive into this week's episode, which again has two meanings! Ryan gets a part-time job, has a date with Marissa, and then someone gets shot. But we go to more crazy parties and eat beautiful grilled cheese sandwiches, so it's all good! Episode description from Hulu: "Seth is eager to attend a party in Ryan's old neighborhood; Ryan finally works up the courage to ask Marissa out on a date."

Shit really hits the fan as Alex is welcomed into the family with open arms while Tyler makes his debut into central Pennsylvania society. Unfortunately, Jon has been running a less-than-optimal Ponzi scheme and the whole party comes to a crushing halt. Speaking of crushes, the bros discuss who their "O.C." crushes are and it's purely coincidental that we met Anna this week.

Welcome once again to The Bro-C, bitch! Do you like plastic fork violence? How about sloppy moms? If you answered yes to either of those, you've come to the right place. If you answered yes to both then you're in store for something really damn special.

Welcome back to the Bro-C, bitch! I meant bitch in an affectionate way! Hey where are you going? Anyway, our intrepid bros return this week to discus some The O.C. social justice news before dissecting this week's episode, "The Model Home." I think the title has like a double or triple meaning. | Write in at letters@thebro-c.com | Episode description from CW Seed: "With nowhere left to go, Ryan sets up shop in a cozy vacant model home"

Welcome to the Bro-C, friends! Can you believe it's been thirteen years (to the day) since The O.C. premiered on FOX? What better way to celebrate this cultural milestone than by joining bros Jon, Alex, and Tyler for the inaugural episode of The O.C. rewatch podcast by bros, for everyone. In this episode we go over our personal backgrounds with The O.C. and reminisce about where we were with our lives when the show premiered in August of 2003, before recapping and reacting to the pilot episode.
