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.

July 11 · Today's Letter

Dear Uncle Bobby,

My team meetings are starting to get shorter — some of them are even ending early. Honestly, it’s throwing off my whole routine. I used to count on these painfully long marathons to avoid doing actual work. Any advice on how to stretch a simple 10-minute meeting into a multi-hour ordeal again?

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Actor's Day

Actor’s Day, also known as National Validate Me With Applause Day, is when we pause to honor the brave souls who pretend for a living and somehow get paid more than your local ER nurse. It’s a celebration of emotional range, fake crying, and the mystical ability to eat whatever you want and still look like a haunted mannequin. On this sacred occasion, we thank them for their service—mainly for teaching us how to monologue about trauma in a British accent. So light a candle, strike a pose, and remember: without actors, who would teach us how to feel our feelings on cue, then demand privacy from the paparazzi?
