Today, we answer a listener question that we got from more than a dozen of you.. What is an Unc? We've referenced the Unc on the show.

But what does it mean to be an Unc, beyond the AAVE or slang definition you can find online? 

Norris Howard shares his experience growing up in a Detroit neighborhood and the role Uncs play in the black community, from how to spot an Unc to some fun typical things and more.

If YOU are an Unc and wanna come on the show, let us know!

Also, we have a few suggestions on some places to go around Juneteenth this weekend and results of our Better Made Chip bag color poll.
