When guys are really close friends, they’re like brothers. That’s why guys sometimes call their friends bros. When you bro down, it means you spend quality time with your bros.
Some guys like to bro down by playing music together or watching sports. Other guys do activities like fishing or poker with their bros. But there is no better way to bro down than a bachelor party.
A bachelor party is a party for a man who is about to get married. He enjoys one last night of single life with his friends. Bachelor parties are often in bars. Some guys even travel to other cities, like Las Vegas, for bachelor parties.
Jason is getting married soon, so it’s time for his bachelor party. He has chosen an unusual place for the event…an arcade. Watch as his friends arrive and prepare to bro down.

Jeff: So, uh, is Jason here yet?
Dale: Nope. Nope. Nope. Not yet.
Jeff: Huh. This is where he’s having his bachelor party, huh?
Dale: Uh-huh.
Jeff: Seems like it should be somewhere a little wilder. Maybe like Vegas, a bar…
Dale: No way, man. It’s a great place to bro down!
Jeff: Well…
Mason: No, sweetie, you’re the sweetest. No you are.
Jeff: Alright, look, the bachelor party is your last crazy night as a single man. There aren’t even any chicks here.
Mason: Did you say something about no girls? It’s OK if my girlfriend comes, right?
Jeff: Are you crazy?
Dale: It’s a bachelor party! No girlfriends, just the bros.
Mason: Sweetie? I’m gonna call you back. OK. Kisses. Guys, what the heck? I can totally bro down with my lady on my arm.
Jeff: No, you can’t. By definition, broing down is about spending time with your friends. Your male friends. You can talk about women…
Dale: Oh! And we can flirt with those women.
Mason: I don’t need to though. I got my girlfriend. I’d rather have her here.
Dale: You know what? His girlfriend is imaginary anyway.
Mason: About as imaginary as this!
Jason: What up? You guys ready to bro down?
Dale: Yes, yes, yes!
Jason: Let’s go!
Dale: Bro down!
Dale: It looks like you’re having fun in there.
Jason: Yeah, man. You got really into that game!
Jeff: Hey, I’m just really happy for you. Glad we got to bro down one last time before you get married.
Jason: Or the first time, but you know… Hey, where’s Mason? Oh, bro, come on. Bro!
Mason: What?

Jeff and Dale arrive early for Jason’s bachelor party. Jeff is surprised that Jason is having his party at an arcade. Guys often have bachelor parties at bars. But Dale thinks the arcade is a good place to bro down. He thinks it will be fun to hang out with the guys there.
Mason is talking on the phone to his girlfriend when he arrives. He asks if it’s OK if she comes to the party. Jeff explains that a bachelor party is just for the male friends of a guy who is about to get married. Dale says it’s OK because Mason’s girlfriend isn’t real anyway.
This upsets Mason and just as he is about to hit Dale, Jason arrives and they all go inside. Everyone has a good time playing games. Even Jeff gets into it. But by the end of the night, Mason is on the phone with his girlfriend again.
Have you ever been to a bachelor (or a bachelorette) party? Where was it?
