Revamped review, 1 year later
This is hands-down one of my favourite podcasts. I knew religion could make me cry... but crying from laughter is THE BEST. I have a dozen episodes or so saved for when I’m having a down day and am always excited for new episodes. My daughter and I noticed there are a number of uncleisms that sneaked into our everyday speech (is it WEASEL gross? will always be a fave, as well as ‘I’m as sad as 2 dry ducks’).
Thank you guys for making our grey days in Lux a lot brighter. Yes, the Duchy. No, not part of Germany. Love you all... esp Uncle Doug’s bursts of laughter.
Putting the ‘uncle’ into ‘avuncular'
Ok, so I know that doesn’t quite work, but it illustrates just the type of thing to expect with this podcast. Mark, Dan
The Best
Voices of humour, compassion, integrity and intelligence in a world sometimes sadly deficient in those qualities. Long live the Uncles!
