  • After great anticipation, Charlie is joined by his brothers Andy, Bill, and John for the final installment of the Berens sibling podcast episodes. In this quasi-family therapy/podcast session, the brothers unpack childhood trauma, air out some dirty laundry, and reminisce about being outnumbered 2 to 1 by their eight sisters growing up. Coming prepared with heartfelt apologies, each brother says sorry to one another, with some ending in long-awaited resolutions, and others ending with wounds being reopened.

    I'm the oldest of 12, and I just love these episodes with your siblings. So relatable. Big families are so much fun as you all get older, and the age gaps start to feel smaller. Funny thing, my dad is a veterinarian, so he is our medical advice guy, too. 😂 And I feel very blessed to have my mom to turn to for parenting advice, she is pretty brilliant. On top of raising 12 kids, she also studied child development in school, so she has some really good insight. My husband and I recently had #6 and bought a 15 passenger van. It was so nostalgic. Anyway, love the podcast, keep up the good work!

    My first watch of the podcast - Very entertaining!! Dick and Molly did something right! Loved the apologies and the dynamics of this 21st century brotherly love. Would love to hear some Sunday morning stories of getting the Berens kids to Mass. I grew up in a big family in the 60’s and 70’s and I’m amazed at how my parents pulled it off and how we survived 😂💖

    I have enjoyed the Berens girls podcasts parts 1 and 2 and now am enjoying listening to the Berens boys. I love Charlie's videos and his humor as a stand up comedian and his poking gentle fun at his Wisconsin roots! I am an only child who grew up in a ( small at the time) town in Northern Illinois and have friends who moved from that small town to an even smaller town about an hour west of Madison - I spent a lot of my teenage years visiting them. So, I can relate to a lot of the Wisconsin references and humor.
    My question is - what is the age difference between all 12 siblings ( one year apart, two years apart, etc down the line)
