UncommonTakes

The UCW Tower gets tall baby. Adam kicks off the episode with a trip to Fiji, then Jimmy can’t contain his awe about giraffes, Katherine tries to gross out the team with exotic foods, and Piers brings it home with the tale of an epic culinary fake out, The Shed at Dulwich. We were all famished at the end of this one fam! Spectacular! Please rate, review, and subscribe!

The UCW Shiver gets spicy. Piers leads the charge with a discussion of what should happen to people who disregard COVID rules, Katherine continues to find ways that New Zealand is better than Australia, Jimmy tries reverse psychology by praising New Zealand, and Adam executes a demonstration segment during which the team casts a new woke James Bond movie. What a ride!

The UCW Cackle gets educational this week with Jimmy leading a lesson on the difference between Marmite and Vegemite, Piers offering up a film-worthy tale of how Zimbabwe was included in Google Maps, Adam presenting a two truth and a lies segment about laws from around the world that includes the self-safety tip don’t drive wearing flip-flops, and Katherine providing an uplifting tail of human perseverance, the story of the small pox vaccine. How do they do it every week? Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

The UCW Destruction strikes again! Piers explains why no one in Churchill, Manitoba locks their doors, Jimmy triggers Katherine’s fear of snakes during a story of how an Australian brown snake made a man in Queensland speed to the hospital, Katherine recovers to lead an epic Unsub-Prime Minister segment about the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, and Adam closes strong pitting William Shatner against Sir Ian McKellen at poker and drag car racing. None shall pass in this episode!

The UCW Business gets right down to business when a discussion about Australia and Cameroon leads to a passionate debate about Bailey’s Irish Cream. Katherine reveals her crush on famed British thespian Benedict Cumberbatch. Jimmy talks Loch Ness legends and we learn Piers' middle names (that's right, names). Finally, Piers finds a way to do a segment on King John of Robinhood fame without talking about Robinhood. How? Listen and find out. Every week the team breaks new uncharted territory. Oh boy, listener, you are in for a tasty treat this week!

The UCW Quiver returns to its roots with an epic England or New England segment during which the team confuses parrots and pirates, a Head-to-Head Legends segment that pits Nelson Mandela versus Mahatma Gandhi at charades, Katherine asks where the Aussie and Canadian accent come from, and Jimmy educates the team on the Legend of King Arthur. Wow! Also, no important historical figures alive or dead were forced to play charades in the making of this episode.

The UCW Cete gets the giggles as they cope with the uncomfortable subject of incest amongst royal families, diamonds on Uranus, unicorns, and strange laws in Trinidad and Tobago. Full of call-backs, cloisters, and Piers saying Uranus as many times as humanly possible, this ep is epic!

The UCW Shrewdness kicks of the quarter-century episode by educating listeners on what not to do in Zambia, pivots to a discussion of the impact on Druids from the COVID-related closing of Stonehenge on the Summer Solstice, learns about a very disturbing type of ice cream sold in India, and closes stronger than ever with a tense discussion about how spelling was decided and why there are eight thousands ways to say aluminum or aluminium or whatever…Enjoy ye faithful! Praise Merlin.

The UCW Clowder kicks it off with Piers educating us on crazy world records like most tattoos, longest hair, and most body piercings (spoiler alert – it’s too many). Then Adam takes us into a memorable (aren’t they all?) two truths and a lie segment about disgraced Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson (he puts the ‘roid in android). Katherine starts the second half by taking charge with another fun filled sub prime minister segment in which she shows a complete lack of understanding of the parliamentary system as she discusses Canada’s only female prime minister Kim Campbell. We close strong (as always) with Jimmy’s google adventures as he explains cities versus towns, roasting versus baking, and frozen yogurt versus ice cream versus gelato.

This week the UCW Caravan does a salt water deep dive into crocodiles, Katherine tries to avoid a repeat of her previous list debacle while presenting the best places to be born, Adam doesn’t correct Jimmy when he refers to darts legend Phil Taylor as the Shifty Cobbler instead of the Crafty Potter, and Piers narrowly avoids a meltdown while searching for the word “travel agent” when discussing Operation Fury, the invasion of Grenada in 1983. Can it get any better than this? Probably.
