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 29 · Today's Letter

Dear Uncle Bobby,

My company just rolled out a new culture initiative where we’re supposed to bring our whole self to work. At Monday stand-up, everyone has to share a personal story, and we have to post a photo in the team channel of what fuels us. I like my coworkers, but I just want to do my job, get paid, and go home without turning my life into office content. Does that make me a bad employee?

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

National Hermit Day

National Hermit Day is that glorious little speed bump on the calendar where we stop pretending humans are “social creatures” and admit most of us are one group chat away from moving into a cave. It’s a holiday for shutting the blinds like you’re hiding from debt collectors, ignoring every notification like it’s a telemarketer with a pulse, and treating solitude like a paid vacation you don’t have to post about. No parades. No mandatory cheer. Just you, your snacks, and the sweet sound of nobody needing anything from you for once. Consider it a public service announcement: disappear on purpose today, so you don’t do it accidentally later.
