The International Bromance unflinchingly tackles any issue with their collective three decades of trial and error experience out in the real world and a couple of late night shifts screenprinting in their underwear just trying to get things done. They know where you've been, understand your struggles firsthand, and have boldly come back to help lead the way through life's difficulties to the greener pastures that await. Mix in some humor, a brand new baby, and some hard hitting advice to make up the next installment of an episode geared entirely towards taking you to the next level of being a creative professional, Breaking News.
