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.

October 14 · Today's Letter

Dear Uncle Bobby,

My mom calls me because "the internet is gone." It's the TV on the wrong input. An hour later my teenager needs me to fix the Wi-Fi, approve a download, and explain why they can't put a credit card on the game console. I'm 51, I'm on call around the clock for both ends of the family, and nobody ever says thank you. How do I get out of being the family help desk?

Trapped Between Input And Wifi
Unpaid Tier One Support

Want to hear what Bobby actually told them?

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

National Curves Day

National Curves Day is that special little speed bump on the calendar where we pretend the world needed a reminder that people come in shapes, and the only straight line involved is the one you’re not supposed to say out loud. It’s a celebration of curves—bodies, roads, life choices—anything that refuses to behave like a ruler and a spreadsheet. The official vibe is “confidence,” the unofficial vibe is “every brand within fifty miles trying to sell you self-love at a 20% markup.” We’re not here to argue with it; we’re here to watch what people do with it when they think nobody’s keeping score.
