One gentleman stood drink in hand with a classic white linen suit; the other with eccentric striped pants coupled with a old school screen tee. You can't get better than this. The picture was the perfect inspiration for Twitter to do its thang. What were these uncles talking about? The possibilities could be endless, and were for Twitter.
Uncle Frank(left) holding his drink like a professional Uncle.. He probably about to tell a story about something that happed in ‘78— T'Chillin (@MorrisChesthair) June 11, 2018
This picture just terribly explained to me how niggas in the league today wouldn’t survive back in the 70s n 80s— Chill (@FuckDetroit) June 11, 2018
Yeah, there definitely has to be an anecdote about the "good ol' days" in there. If you're an uncle and don't talk about the "much better" past (especially if that past involves some unbelievable story), you ain't real. Y'all know the stories. You never quite know if Uncle/Pops' wild story is half-truth, exaggerated fable or a bold-faced lie.
This my age group, lol. A BBQ, the Blues and some brown liquor can't be far. Come here Gurl did you brang yo mama?— Urban Pirate (@20roar) June 11, 2018
The three Bs can't be excluded: BBQ, blues and brown liquor. The uncle starter pack.
And while we talking purchases, how about those lotto numbers?

"Shiiiiiiidddddd, you talking crazy" that's all I hear right now. I'm done. This is tooooooooooo much!!— SoujournerDaTruth (@Bukalove04) June 11, 2018
Followed by a "I know that's right…" ???????????? pic.twitter.com/cXWvQUIrDq— Don Wright (@dcwrightphoto) June 12, 2018
Definitely gotta seal the sentence with, "I know that's right!" Because if you don't say that … is it really co-signed?

Clearly unc on the left is the only one fully equipped to handle the grill while drinking johnny walker red and dancing with Aunty to “Before I let go”— Kyrie Swerving (@AngryMtaWorker) June 12, 2018
Another user was sure the two men were comparing 'fits to see who was the most "sharp!"

Users also briefly engaged in a debate about the two men's names:
You gave him a name ???????????????? he looks like a Earl tho— Ranel Guy-Sherman (@RaeSoPettyy) June 12, 2018
Earl or Charles ????????— kyrell (@kyrelld16) June 12, 2018
Wille earl— Zay boogie ✨ (@dtxzaria) June 12, 2018
Willie and Earl, or is one of them named Willie Earl?
Could be either, to be honest.
Whatever they were discussing, we just want to make sure we get invited to whatever cookout they're grilling at!
Priorities.
