Is it possible to really compromise in a relationship, or is “compromise” just code for “change”? The Bros discuss the compromise versus change question, how (and when) to set expectations, and whether you can tell if someone is being selfish in this episode of the Bros Roundtable.

The Bros are:

• Sterling Matthews, big banker
• Gary Supermacho (not Andre Rison), works on cars
• Ray Huff, motorcross champ
• McBroerson, artist
• Rambro Skeeter

Pop culture reference:

• “It Must’ve Been Love” by Roxette, not Amy Grant

Music: Wilco, “A Shot in the Arm (Remix),” Summerteeth

We continue along the vague theme of giving someone another chance versus giving up. The Bros start off discussing global affairs, courtesy of an Onion article, and then we delve into the weighty issues of compatibility and successful (and horribly unsuccessful) pickup lines. Gary tries to turn the BRT into a public service announcement, and McBroerson continues to prove why he’s not getting invited to future tapings. Bonus: It’s under 10 minutes!

The Bros are:

• Ray Huff, motorcross champ
• Sterling Matthews, banker (no adjective this week)
• Bro McBroerson, artist extraordinaire
• Gary Supermacho, really really into cars
• Rambro Skeeter, just cool

Pop culture reference:

• “Japan pledges to halt production of weirdo porn that makes people puke.” The Onion.

Coming up, on a very special Bros Roundtable: The Bros serenade the BRT listeners and give the deets on when you should give up on them.

In the second episode of the Bros Roundtable, the bros talk about the right answer to “how many guys have you slept with?”, turn-offs, when they hate PDA, and the difference between beer breath and bad breath. Also, one of the newest additions goes off about having to talk to his ex when they were living together.

The bros:

• Sterling Matthews, big banker
• Ray Huff, motorcross champion
• McBroerson, artist extraordinaire
• Gary Supermacho, works on cars
• Rambro Skeeter [no known profession]

Coming up in the next two (or maybe three) BRTs: The bros discuss international affairs and continue the talk on when to give up and when to give someone another chance, including the tell-tale sign that although a guy is canceling plans, he’s still interested in you.

What’s the appeal of Playboy? (Apparently, it’s like looking at a unicorn.) Who is Gusto? What’s the right answer to the question “How many girls have you slept with”? And how can a girl be a good wing woman to her friends?

We discussed all that and more at the first Bros Roundtable podcast, where real dudes answer girls’ questions about dating and relationships. Unfortunately, we all had too much beer and ended up cracking ourselves up for about half of it. The podcast is about 16 minutes (edited down from about 50). Enjoy!

Meet the bros:

• Ray Huff, motorcross champion
• Gary Supermacho, works on cars
• John Duff, “his brother”
• Sterling Matthews, big banker
