This week on an all-new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and current comedy writers Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani are talking about something that uncles have been commenting on for decades - economic migration. We've all heard them, things like "Why do they live like this in such filth", or "they're talking away all the local jobs", to the old classic "they've come here now, crime will go up, there goes the neighborhood"

Ofcourse, most of this is either rubbish, or needs far more context. Click through to find out more...

This week, on all new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and current comedy writers Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani are tackling yet another Uncle pet peeve, WHY THESE YOUTHS ALWAYS HAVE THEIR FACES IN THEIR PHONES?

There's a grain of truth there, but then for young people, their mobile phones, and by extension, the internet is a portal to knowledge, opinion, entertainment and romance. Maybe the uncles are just jealous, then?

On an all new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and current comedy writers Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani are asking politely, through gritted teeth, UNCLE, PLEASE SIT.

With the government receiving some criticism for their handling of the Covid -19 pandemic, and some state governments (cough UP cough) clamping down and intimidating sections of the media, Tushar and Joel talk about dissent in the time of pandemics. The uncle opinion is off course, "dissent is good and all, but is this the time to criticize the government?" The answer to that question is yes. Dissent is what keeps the citizen informed, breaks through the propaganda and fake news, and keeps the government on its toes. Click through to hear more.

On an all-new episode of Uncle, Please Sit, former journalists and current comedy writers Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani gear up to get more uncles to sit the F down. The myth they're talking about this week? The "merit"-ocracy. It seems like an obvious, common-sense idea, doesn't it?
A fair and equitable way to reward talent and aptitude? But scratch a few millimeters below the "surface of the "merit" and you begin to understand how its yet another way for the rich and privileged to hog all the opportunity, while maintaining the appearance of fairness and impartiality.
