Ask Uncle Bobby

Bad advice for good people.

As heard on the B-Team Morning Show

Each weekday, some poor soul writes in for help. Uncle Bobby gives them the worst advice we can legally put on the air.

So once a year, we put on our solemn faces, pretend to care about toilets, then immediately go back to clogging them with bad decisions and Chipotle. It's not really a celebration—it’s more like a guilt trip with porcelain seating.
