Awkward Uncles PodCast

Happy Halloween! Uncle Joey and Unky Chris are back for episode 29 of the Awkward Uncles Podcast, where they explain life poorly.This week:

• Weekly updates: Hockey wins and a humbling loss, darker evenings, and Joey's trip to Utah for his sister's windy mountainside wedding. He also took a boat tour of the Great Salt Lake, which averages only about 4.5 feet deep, and the guys talk about sea monkeys and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
• What's Annoying Me: The guys are annoyed by the NHL trade-request drama, including Kucherov's contract standoff with the Lightning. They also cover the Larkin situation in Detroit.
• Trivia: Can you name the top ten scorers in Lightning history? Chris takes a swing at it.
• Uncle's Court: Joey presides over these questions. Can your spouse eat half your food? Is it okay to sneak food home from a buffet? Is it okay to root against your favorite team for fantasy football? Should you expect discounts from friends who own businesses?
• Fun fact and Would You Rather: The first fully painted goalie mask appeared on Halloween 1970, and it was bright orange like a pumpkin. Then come pillow habits, towel rules, bears and a very awkward gender reveal question.
• Rules or Petty: Six-pack etiquette, parking in front of someone's house, and telling chronically late friends the wrong start time.
• Top Five Horror Movies: Candyman, Shaun of the Dead, Scream, Saw, Friday the 13th, The Blair Witch Project, The Exorcist and the Halloween series all come up. Spoiler: Halloween 4 gets a big finish.
• Dad jokes: Plus a bonus Halloween round of groaners.

Tell us your top five horror movies and send in your best dad jokes.

Travel stories, bad hotel beds, and brutally honest takes on bikes, brand names, and other people’s kids collide in this episode of the Awkward Uncles. Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris are back in two separate states and somehow still manage to turn a weekly catch-up into a nonstop debate about real life, ridiculous etiquette, and the small annoyances that drive everyone a little crazy. Chris kicks things off with a full weekend update from Florida, including five games, three practices, a walk-a-thon that raised over $11,000 for All Children’s Hospital, and a wild win on terrible ice that had even the ref slipping around. Joey checks in from Utah, where a wedding trip turns into sightseeing, In-N-Out, the Utah Capitol, Olympic Park, and a reminder that Park City might just be one of the prettiest places on earth. You'll hear them roast cyclists in full gear, rank the misery of hotel beds, and work through a fresh round of Uncle’s Court - where the verdicts get messy fast. Store-brand vs. name-brand foods, whether you can tell a stranger’s kid they suck, the ethics of tossing trash into a neighbor’s bin, and the social crimes of saying “no offense” all get put on trial.Then it gets even better. They trade random trivia, revisit chaotic travel memories, compare the best places to go back to, and close with the kind of dad jokes that are so bad they loop back around to being funny. If you like blunt opinions, nostalgic music talk, and two unfiltered uncles trying to explain life poorly, this one’s for you.Perfect for listeners who want comedy, sibling-style banter, road trip energy, and zero polished takes - just honest, hilarious conversation that keeps moving from the first minute to the last.

Florida camping chaos, a brutal hockey loss, and a savage takedown of celebrity endorsements collide in this episode. Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris swap stories about a Halloween adventure at Disney’s Fort Wilderness, then get into high school hockey, the Lightning’s early-season form, the Rays’ playoff run, and whether baseball is actually entertaining—or just background noise with snacks.The conversation veers into celebrity ads, overpriced electricity, school bus communication failures, and why people over thirty shouldn’t treat their birthday like a national holiday. The guys also deliver “Uncle’s Court” rulings on baby compliments, lingering after the restaurant bill, and hiding big purchases from your spouse, before settling into a lively showdown over hockey and sports mascots.Expect unfiltered sports talk, family stories, ridiculous debates, and dad jokes that land exactly as badly as you want them to.

Awkward Uncles episode 26 is packed with the kind of unfiltered, sideways-mind conversation that turns everyday annoyances into a full-on debate. If you’ve ever been irritated by bad parking, over-the-top promposals, or people who ruin a restaurant with a screaming kid, this one is for you.Uncle Chris kicks things off with a personal story about his unexpected guest spot on Paul Porter’s radio show for the Tampa Bay Lightning arena voice legend’s 30th anniversary, including the family connection that goes all the way back to “Bingo Bob,” old Lightning access, and the opening days of the Ice Palace. From there, Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris spiral into what’s annoying them most right now - political ads, terrible hat selections at Lightning games, and the absolute chaos of people cutting through the aisle at hockey games while play is still live.We break down a full round of Uncle’s Court, where Joey makes the case for parking behavior, promposals, and the worst fast food fries, while Chris delivers the verdicts with no mercy. Then the show shifts into a rapid-fire set of “normal things” nobody should overthink - from Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving to using a car horn, talking to neighbors, drinking coffee, sneezing etiquette, and whether you should ever microwave fish at work.You’ll also get trivia, Lightning player number stories, a top five countdown of the worst movie remakes, and a closing stretch of dad jokes that includes a perfect punchline from a rabbi typo and a lighter fluid gag that lands exactly how you’d expect.Awkward Uncles is made for anyone who loves sports talk, nostalgia, pop culture arguments, ridiculous hypothetical courtroom rulings, and two guys who can turn the smallest pet peeve into a full episode. If you want a fast, funny, fiercely opinionated listen, hit play.

In this episode of Awkward Uncles, Joey and Chris catch up on youth hockey, Disney mishaps, home projects, car repairs, and the pain of being a Tampa sports fan. They vent about local weather personalities, debate everyday etiquette in Uncle’s Court, trade trivia and strange “make you think” questions, and count down the top five times they’d travel to—from dinosaurs and biblical history to the ’50s, early ’90s, and iconic sports moments. Plus: plenty of dad jokes to close it out.

Sports heartbreak, terrible songs, and a few debates that get way too real - Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris are back with another round of awkward honesty, and this one has plenty to argue about. If you love sports, hate bad restaurant etiquette, or enjoy hearing two people roast the world with zero filter, this episode is for you.Weekly updates kick things off with hockey wins, big hits, youth sports growth, and a packed weekend of football, including USF, Ole Miss, LSU, the Bucs, and the never-ending emotional damage that comes with being a fan. Then the conversation turns to what is actually annoying everyone right now - from sports streaming delays and ESPN’s weird timing to the madness of live-game spoilers, overpriced contracts, and why sports keep breaking your heart anyway.You’ll also get a full round of Uncle’s Court, where the uncles rule on the biggest everyday offenses:

• showing up late to a sit-down restaurant near closing time
• splitting the check evenly when everyone ordered different things
• sending the dreaded question mark text
• dropping by unannounced
• standing in front of the fridge like it holds the meaning of life

Then it’s into trivia, including Nick Saban’s Alabama titles, the College Football Playoff’s expansion, and a listener-submitted hockey question that tests just how deep the rink knowledge goes. After that, the episode shifts into Chris or Joe and Unpopular Opinions, where the guys reveal who’s more likely to say the wrong thing, wander off, give terrible advice, or turn an opinion into a full personality trait.The back half is pure nostalgia and judgment: a Top 5 songs you hate or skip list that takes aim at overplayed classics, obnoxious pop, and a few tracks that have somehow survived way too long. The episode wraps with dad jokes, more banter, and the kind of unfiltered chemistry that makes this show exactly what it is.Perfect for anyone who loves sports talk, petty debates, and a good laugh at life’s most annoying little problems.

Publix is overrated, baths are gross, and if you hand Chris your phone, he will absolutely swipe through it. The Awkward Uncles Episode 23 is packed with the kind of brutally honest, highly relatable chaos that makes this show so fun to binge—from hockey-season frustration and NFL trivia to 9/11 nostalgia, unwritten social rules, and a top-five Adam Sandler quote showdown.Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris kick things off with their weekly updates, including the realities of new high school hockey roles, unpredictable ice time, and the patience it takes when teams are still figuring themselves out. Then the annoyance list gets heated fast: Chris unloads on Publix, Joey vents about endless school and hockey emails, and both of them lean all the way into the daily irritations that somehow feel universal.You’ll also get a full round of Uncle’s Court, where Joey presides over the great debates of modern life: socks in bed, ketchup on steak, and whether you should wake someone up when they’re snoring. From there, the guys introduce a new “Unwritten Rules” game and break down the invisible social contracts everyone pretends to understand—how long to wait before calling back, whether “make yourself at home” really means raid the fridge, and what happens when someone shows you a photo on their phone and forgets to lock the screen.Then the episode shifts into a surprisingly fun nostalgia trip. The uncles mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by looking at the pop culture and technology that have appeared since then—from the iPod and Xbox to Netflix, Google, Facebook, MySpace, Spotify, Uber, Shrek, and more. If you like the weirdly satisfying feeling of realizing how fast time has moved, this segment will hit you right in the memory bank.To close it out, Joey and Chris battle through their favorite Adam Sandler lines, then finish with a fresh batch of terrible dad jokes that are exactly as bad—and as funny—as you’d hope. It’s the perfect listen if you like sports talk, dumb arguments, pop-culture nostalgia, and two friends turning everyday annoyances into entertainment.Uncle Joey brings the hot takes, sports opinions, and courtroom rulings. Uncle Chris brings the pushback, the stories, and the unfiltered honesty that keeps every segment moving.
