It's our first live episode! We were invited to participate in the weekly Salonathon at Beauty Bar Chicago!, curated by First Floor Theater! It's good to have friends! The shenanigans include: A dude passes out after getting invited to a spontaneous drunken threesome! So close... A question about Nice Guys™. Why do they turn out to be horny assholes? Is nothing sacred? A gay dude asks how he can best act as a sexual ambassador for his straight brethren. [some kind of joke about "filling" a "position"] Are you a Chicagoan who would like to see the podcast live? Let us know at (773) 234-BROS!
