Yes Like, Bru! Podcast
Three 40+ South African guys, all living in different countries recording their personal conversations and doing their best not to get cancelled before they get started.
Mostly we talk about the reality of being a South African living in South Africa and comparing it to the reality of being a South African living not in South Africa. And we also talk a lot about other things too.
Kev is in Ireland. Steve is in Los Angeles. Sash is in Johannesburg.

In this episode we’re discussing the recent controversy around the humane AI wearable and Marques Brownlee.
Are journalists responsible for the fate of a whole company based on one or two negative reviews? Or is it just that the company is shit and doesn’t deserve to continue business?
Has anyone else noticed that making friends as a man in 2024 has become harder and harder?
Steve lived in Los Angeles for two years and experienced the similar reality. Is it just because we were South African? Are men becoming more soft and less social? Or is it just that we are three unlikable people?
We’re discussing the UFC 300 events in this episode.
Reviews are not favourable, let’s just say that.
We also go into a little bit on the Tyson versus Paul bullshit fight that’s coming up.
Just three South African gauze trying the best to make a podcast that doesn’t offend anyone. We are one step closer to getting our sound sorted. Keep an eye on the next episodes.
This week we’re tackling the important question: what is South Africa’s best chocolate/sweet?
Conversation invariably boils down to how could South African chocolate is compared to the rest of the world, that includes Switzerland add the United States
This week the boys are discussing a topic they wish they’d rather never heard of: yachting.
It’s the practice of rich oil barons in Dubai basically trafficking pretty Instagram models looking for fame and fortune to do unsavoury things in international waters.
It seems that everywhere you turn these days, there’s a scam going on. And these days it’s happening more and more around the crypto space.
With Sam Bankman Fried in the news lately, and the Paul Bros constantly being called out for this scammy ways, who is the biggest scam artist in the world?
In this episode we discuss in the FTX scandal, Theranos and everything that the Paul brothers touch that turns to scam.
With all that’s going on with Andrew Tate at the moment, this week the boys (and Ros) are discussing whether or not Andrew Tate is a good or a bad thing for the world.
Probably one of our more serious conversations because invariably it boils down to how safe are our children online and what are they watching when they’re on social media?
The rugby World Cup kicks off this week and the boys explain to Steve how rugby works.
We also spend a bit of time discussing the difference between American sports and South African sports. Particularly American football, basketball, cricket, rugby and some others.
This week the boys are talking about all this hullabaloo about UFOs.
And once again the conversation moves onto how trustworthy news sources are. There are a bunch of suggestions about where to get your news from that are better than the mainstream media.
And of course from a recommendation perspective, our weekly suggestions on how to deal with societies biggest problems. This month we’re talking about public whippings and how this could solve all our problems.
This week the boys are reminiscing about one of their favourite TV shows of all time: Top Gear.
Discussion gets onto the Grand Tour and just some memories of some of our favourite jokes.
There is also some talk about South Africa’s newest racing league where you enter a car with your mates and just ride around a track for fun.
This week the boys are discussing the latest movies in 2023.
Barbie, Snow White (without the 7 Dwarves), and Oppenheimer.
What is it with movie studio's obsession with remaking old favourites and then just pumping the same stuff down our throats movie after movie?
Just like everyone else on earth, we all want Nate Diaz to take it. Also like everyone else, we're kinda sure that Jake Paul will probably take it. Life's unfair that way. But we make our predictions anyway.
Also we discuss South African white person sport's latest obsession, Padel or Paddle or however you spell it.
Steve explains to Kevin and Sasha the process of re-charging a Tesla electric car.
Turns out it’s not as difficult as you would think. Also, it’s not as convenient or easy as you might think.

Anybody who has already caught one of our episodes knows that there is no such thing as an expert opinion here. In fact, we have coined the term "Speculators" for our opinions. So much fun.
But seriously. If you haven't yet seen this presentation, it's well worth the watch. But the boys sum up the main points in this episode.

This week we are trying to understand this latest trend popping up in South African malls.
Apparently the youth are revolting. Also, they are mass organising using social media to meet up in South Africa shopping centres to cause havoc, irritate us geriatrics and just be a general nuisance to the public.
What is the Luh Twizzy trend?

Ever noticed how crap white people are at protesting? We have. And we discuss it in this episode.
Unless there is a Starbucks along the route, whities just don't show.
Steves noticed a massive change in his mood since he cut out listening to political bs in January. The guys discuss a study that explores what impact music has on humans and their thoughts.
This is some big brain conversation, especially for this group of guys.
Steve discusses his bucket list for the USA. Where he's travelling and why.
And you'd be surpised how widely recognized SA culture is in the States.
Sasha introduces Kevin and Steven to a level of intellectualism they’re not ready for. We are talking about Konstantin Kisin.
And then we discuss how exhausting it must be being a permanently offended human. All set off by our review of the latest Scooby Doo remake. Then we get into talking about female comedians and it all gets ugly.
It’s February, so just in time to discuss how everyone is giving up on their New Year’s resolutions.
Steve isn’t. He is doing the 75 Hard program and Kevin and Sasha give him a hard time about it.
Still, the biggest guns in the room or Sash’s
In this episode we are taking out the fearsome AI robot that has everyone chatting.
Kev has a great idea for a movie script.
We also delve into the world of crypto scams and rug pulling on followers.
A little bit of a mixed chat this week, but we get the work done.
All the top trending stories get a bit of attention. We talk about our OBVIOUS disappointment and shock finding out that the Liver King isn't natty! I mean...who could have known??
Steve has questions about the World Cup legitimacy. He watched the Netflix documentary.
New movies are worse than old movies. Fact. Especially the CGI
And we've found the one feature Netflix needs to add to ensure its survival. Cos we're algorithmed out!
This one is about the cost of living for South Africans who immigrate to another country like the USA or Ireland. It's expensive. Probably knew that already. Still, some interesting specifics shared by Steve and Kev that has Sash pretty baffled and grateful for living in South Africa.
Kevin has returned to South Africa for work and now Steve has a 66% chance of hosting this podcast on his own when Sasha and Kevin drop off due to bad signal and load shedding.
But we plough on and Kevin gives us his impressions of being back in South Africa, cost of living, security and just being around smiling happy people again.
People are using the Internet to spread hoaxes to further their cause. We were shocked!
If you are just as shocked as we were, this is an episode you can't miss.
We are discussing Internet hoaxes in this episode, particularly around the recent purchase of Twitter by Bond villain Elon Musk, the recent Darrell Brooks murder trial and the recent terror scare that happened in South Africa.
We're all old enough to remember the days of Hansie getting nabbed by the ICC or whoever it was and the huge scandal that was. But we didn't realise just how much cheating goes on in today's world of sport.
In this episode we discuss some of the most recent sport cheating scandals that have happened in the past few months.
Listen! We know that were not the first simpletons to take on the question of whether or not the media is a good or bad thing.
But we seriously, SERIOUSLY, think that we've come up with one of the best analogies and solutions to the dodgy medias practices in today's day and age.
Keen to hear what you think.
Probably about as good a representation of this podcast as you're going to get. Started off with excellent intentions. Slowly spiraled down into lost signals and an absent South African contingent due to load shedding and crappy SA infrastructure.
But we feel like we recovered quite nicely. Once the bitching about SA infrastructure was done, we flipped 180 and waxed lyrical about how lekker South Africa is. Oh! And Kev weighs in with an extremely valuable unpacking of what exactly it involves (some costs, some advice) to pack a container and emigrate from South Africa or return to SA.
