    Episode 6 - Michelle (Mike’s mom) - "I Used to Microwave Caterpillars"

    Michelle, the woman who raised Mike Appy and still somehow calls him fun, joins the boys with a spritz in hand. She finds out live on air that her son used to microwave caterpillars, blames his father, compares it to stoning a woman, and reminds everyone she worked from 13 to 64, so Social Security is hers.

Alex reads a photo of Mike's late dad through his eyes alone, and Michelle and Mike open up about his last year and the big talk in the hospital that turned into college football. Plus her first year in the gym, the early change of life nobody warned her about, and why she is scared of house cats and chickens. Rapid fire, a villa in Greece, a marriage proposal to the Beast, Mike's dinner chair mystery, the Cyprus connection, and the fake TSA arrest Alex pulled on Mike. Guest: Michelle.

    Bailey, the don't be a p***y guy of the timeline, joins the boys from Indiana.

    Episode 3 - Kristeen vs. The Boys

    Kristeen is back, fresh from the Texas Takeover weekend where she met the whole timeline in person and found out Mike is a sweetheart online and a dick in real life. Website: https://www.definitelybadadvice.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DefinitelyBadAdviceSponsored by Genesis. Use code DBA at checkout: https://takegenesis.com/DBA The boys roast Alexander's man purse, try to get Mike into a tailored tracksuit (he agrees, for the show only), and settle whether it is syrup or syrup. Michael explains why a suit is the only thing that would make Mike actually hurt somebody. Then Mike puts the questions to his own wife: a pregnancy craving of mac and cheese, peas and boiled Oscar Mayer hot dogs, her cartoon crush, and why her husband would still drive a 2005 Civic with a billion dollars. Plus two flashbacks to a boys-only show, where the same questions went very badly. Also: the lobby ambush on Mike, the flight that dropped 10,000 feet, and three months to make a Ukrainian waitress smile. Guest: Kristeen, back for her second visit. Definitely Bad Advice.

    Episode 2 - Ian vs. Stumpy - The Leg He Lost, the Laughs He Kept

    Ian was an Army medic with 10th Mountain Division. Ninety days into his deployment to Afghanistan, he stepped on an IED and came home without his right leg. Website: https://www.definitelybadadvice.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DefinitelyBadAdviceSponsored by Genesis. Use code DBA at checkout: https://takegenesis.com/DBA The three of us spent the opening roasting him before he even logged on. He flipped the whole thing back on us with one question nobody saw coming. Then he told the story properly: the lieutenant he patched up three weeks earlier, the day it happened to him, the tourniquets, the ambush on the helicopter, and the one image from that day he still laughs about. Also: why his wife stays off the internet, the P90X years, teaching his 14 year old son to squat, the leg that charges like a phone, and why beans do not belong in chili. Definitely Bad Advice.

    Episode 1 - Waffles vs. Pancakes - Hold The Salt Please, I'm in a Rush

    Michael went to a famous pancake house in Myrtle Beach, ordered pancakes over waffles, and ate them plain because asking for syrup would have taken too long. Website: https://www.definitelybadadvice.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DefinitelyBadAdviceSponsored by Genesis. Use code DBA at checkout: https://takegenesis.com/DBA This is the episode where he explains that decision, and it gets worse for him every time he speaks. Along the way it emerges that the VA has him officially rated for loss of smell, which retroactively invalidates every food opinion he has ever had. Also: why you say crab and not crabs, and what happens when you get that wrong at the beach. Definitely Bad Advice. Gym, food, fitness and regret, with Alexander Walton, Mike Appy and Michael Joseph.
