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 19 · Today's Letter

By the time they called, I had rewritten my resignation letter in my head and replayed every meeting from the past month. It was about the parking lot. How do I stop doing this to myself every time someone sends me "got a sec?"

Dreading Got A Sec Pings
Spiraling in the Parking Lot

Want to hear what Bobby actually told them?

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

You throw on the socks-and-sandals, the taped-up glasses, the pocket protector—whatever flavor of awkward you can stomach—and pretend you’re doing it ironically, which is adorable. The real tradition is watching people discover there’s a thin, fragile line between costume and autobiography. Don’t worry, we’re not here to judge… we’re here to take notes.
