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 landlord stopped accepting checks and says rent has to be paid through an online portal now. The portal charges me even for a bank transfer, charges more for a card, and keeps nudging me to turn on autopay. The office calls it a convenience charge, but I do not see any free way to pay the rent I already owe. How do I push back without making trouble where I live?

Trapped By Rent Portal Fees

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Area Code Day

Area Code Day is that special little calendar accident where we all pretend three digits mean something deeper than “who raised you” and “how expensive your rent is.” It’s a holiday for flexing local pride without doing the messy part, like improving your town or learning your neighbor’s name. People rep their codes like family crests, arguing over boundaries drawn by phone companies and spite, then act shocked when nobody from outside cares. So light a candle for your digits, call somebody you’ve been avoiding, and remember: geography is temporary, but embarrassment is forever.
