A Good, Bad and Ugly Advice Podcast Life's diverse problems require diverse solutions, so advice wunderkind Russell Bates and his rotating cohort of guest advisors strive to give listener submitted questions the options for any problem. Why limit yourself to the sensible, sincere and "smart" advice we give? Why be suffocated by the idiotically futile recommendations we provide? And why suppress the thoughts of the deepest, darkest, and dustiest corners of our brains? Why choose one of these when you can have ALL of them? So take what you can as we give you The Good, Bad and Ugly advice you deserve But in all reality, no advice should be taken from this comedy show just meant to help you laugh. Even the good advice should be taken with a Mediterranean grain of salt. But if you do take advice, just remember that RESULTS WILL VARY. You can send in questions to be read on the show along with any comments or suggestions at Resultswillvarypod@gmail.com You can follow us on Instagram @resultswillvarypod and you can find Russell @itsrussellbates Episodes are released every other Wednesday starting January 1st, 2025 PS: Russell here! Thank for even coming to this page to check it out. This is all produced, edited and promoted on my own as my little ramshackle labor of love. Of course I couldn't do it with my incredible guests who really have warmed my heart to even give this a shot. And thank you. Im not expecting anyone to listen to this but if you do, know that it means the world to me and I'm so grateful for you. But anyway, if you do listen I really hope you enjoy!

    Private Investigators Stakeout For Advice w/ Maddy Lanning & Sara Dirks

    Don't have the will to right a funny bio! Trust me this is a funny one but I know no one is here so It was fun for us. If you do listen, know that you mean a lot to me and help me keep moving on. It's been a rough time and this always brings a smile to my soul, as much as I neglect it sometime. All of the guests have also taken to the show in a way that warms my heart every time. This will still be in my life, but it's probably going down to once a month. I can very well go back to once every two weeks, I just have to find that wind for my sail again. Thank you so much to Sara Dirks and Maddy Lanning for coming on the show! They are the antithesis of why I love this show. So kind and extremely funny, for them to give it a try really makes me feel it's worth it. Find Sara @wilddirky on Insta and Maddy @laddymanning as well. You know the deal to follow the RWV stuff and support the show by however seem fit. Thank you for listening and I hope to see you again on November 5th!

    Rat Advice Panel w/Manu Padma & Heather Marie Vitale

    Hey everyone Russell here! I can't get out an episode this week because I have been stuck in the closet. I wanted still to get something out to you guys so I enlisted some of my rat friends, Lenny Catchatoli, Sam Rathaniel and Jeremy from THE Rat Hole to come and give some advice to their fellow rats. They eat plenty of grease pies, talk on humans, fall in love with cats and maybe spill a few of their secret and try to cover them with cheese. I really enjoy what they put out and I hope you do too. Alright, while you listen I'm gonna call the fire brigade. Find Results Will Vary @resultswillvarypod on Insta to keep up with the show and find all the links to listen to the show! Im also gonna start releasing video versions of these episodes on YouTube so go check those out with Linker.ee/Resultswillvarypod and please give us review or tell a friend! Im super excited for this new version of the pod so id love for you to have it as well :) Find Manu (Sam Rathaniel) @manupadma on Insta. She's not a performer but she is one of the best improvisers I've played with and I'm glad to call her a freind! Find Heather Marie (Jeremy From The Rat Hole) @originalhmv on Insta. She was one of my fav guests and she continued it in this one. She is so funny and so kind and it was a pleasure to work with her again! Next episode August 13th!

    First time guest Jeff Quintana (and Antonio Robinson) join our first ever returning guest Natalie Glade in getting super mad at me!

I'm so Glade the Natalie Glade is our first returning guest and ca't wait to bring her back. Jeff is so funny, so intense in his style and its a pleasure to watch him preform every time that it took me off guard when I got him on my show. His energy is contagious and I wanted to live up to it, aaannnnddd I think we did! Find him @thejeffquintana on Insta where he is also a Circuit Comedy friend Antonio Robinson is an a*****e extraordinaire. Find him @thepowerfulcomedy Thanks for listening!
