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.

November 10 · Today's Letter

Dear Uncle Bobby,

My manager asked me to make a Friday leadership slide about our team’s biggest wins this year. The project is late, the budget got cut twice, and the numbers we have make the whole thing look worse, not better. I was told to focus on momentum and not get stuck on negatives. Do I polish the story or say this is not a success yet?

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

National Chaos Never Dies Day

National Chaos Never Dies Day is that annual reminder that order is just a rumor people tell themselves so they can sleep. You don’t celebrate it so much as you acknowledge it—like a dent in your car or your cousin’s third “fresh start”—and then you go about your business pretending you’re in charge. The vibe is simple: embrace the dropped plans, the wrong turns, the spilled coffee, and the group text that somehow becomes a legal matter. Light a candle if you want, but chaos doesn’t need your permission, and it sure doesn’t RSVP.
