In science it's completely normal to wonder what would happen if you altered one variable or another – that's what you do when you test a hypothesis – but when it comes to the choices we make in our lives, there will always be unanswered questions. In this week's episode, both our storytellers share stories about their lives' fork-in-the-road moments. Part 1: As a child who loves biology and has Caribbean immigrant parents, Calvin Cato feels pressure to become a doctor. Part 2: Shane Hanlon can't help but compare his life choices to those of his hometown best friend. Calvin S. Cato got his comedic start with the Wesleyan University stand-up comedy troupe Punchline and then transferred his unique brand of humor to New York City in 2006. He has performed all across the United States and has even crossed the border into Canada. His television appearances include the Game Show Network, Oxygen's My Crazy Love, National Geographic's Brain Games, and an unaired pilot for Vice Media called Emergency Black Meeting. In 2017, Calvin was named one of Time Out New York's Queer Comics of Color to Watch Out For. His comedy has been featured in numerous festivals including San Francisco Sketchfest, Austin's Out of Bounds Comedy Festival, Brooklyn Pride, Gotham Storytelling Festival, FlameCon, and the Women in Comedy Festival. In addition, you may have heard him overshare on popular podcasts including Keith and The Girl, The Beige Philip Show, RISK!, Guys We F*cked, Las Culturistas, Tinder Tales or the video game themed podcast he co-produced called the Playable Characters Podcast (featured in AV Club and Splitsider). Most recently, Calvin was published in Kweendom, an anthology of essays by queer comedians and entertainers. Published in early 2021, the book is available on Amazon and other online book retailers.

Travis' interest in data science inspires him to launch what he calls "The Tinder Experiment." Ryan takes a financial literacy class so he can prove to the world that he is able to save. What will his professor have to say about his addiction to Crypto? The White Sox beat the Royals, but the best part of the game was JB and Lightfoot getting booed out of the stadium. Everyone knows by now Travis lives vicariously through Ryan's Robinhood account, but Ryan is now living vicariously through Travis with "Tinder Tales With Travis." @Tee_Platt@IAmRyanLacosse

What's poppin? I hope you guys had a great weekend (the Browns won, woo!!) Anyways let's start your Monday off right and talk about orgasms, specifically the female orgasm. I also went on another date with a guy I met from Tinder and it wasn't a total disaster so that is pretty cool. I cover a lot more in the pod, but to find out you have to listen :) I've been getting a lot of feedback recently and some of you want me to find a co-host. This podcast is still pretty new but I am not opposed to having a male counterpart. Here are the requirements: (dm me on insta: ssammimaee) Good sense of humor, can match my energy, most importantly: must be open to talking about their sex life, past experiences etc, In the area: I typically record on Sundays. I am not sure if anyone would be interested but I wouldn't mind having a guy come on the show to talk about certain topics so just slide right in to the dm's. As always, thanks for listening to One of the Bros, Sammi
Welcome to the first official episode of One of the Bros! Are you fucking pumped? Because I am. First off, thank you for all the kind words people messaged me, it truly means a lot that you guys want to listen. Today, were talking about Tinder. A dating app we all know and love (and sometimes hate). Is it the place where you find the person you are going to marry or a casual one night stand with Danny from Delt Sig? The world may never know...but in this episode we get into one of my first dates back home and how it went from me being on cloud nine to an epic failure. If you didn't download a dating app or hookup with your ex...what were you doing during quarantine? (just kidding...maybe). I'll save the juicy details for the episode. Thanks for listening to One of the Bros!!
