    50. The Best Life Advice Came From The Golden Girls

    Send us Fan Mail Maybe the best life advice didn’t come from a therapist, a self-help book, or some TikTok guru. Maybe it came from The Golden Girls. This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin revisit one of the most iconic shows of their generation—and discover that underneath all those one-liners was some surprisingly great advice about getting older, friendship, loneliness, anger, loss, and actually enjoying the life you have. First up: You’re getting older. Get over it. Instead of obsessing over wrinkles, aches, weight, or whether anyone is still looking at you, what if getting older means finally knowing who you are—and realizing you don’t have nearly as much to prove?  Then there’s friendship. Could a real-life Golden Girls living arrangement actually be the answer to loneliness as we age? Katy and Justin talk about chosen family, decades-long friendships, and why having people around you may become even more important later in life.  And then Sophia delivers perhaps the best analogy ever for holding onto anger: it’s like shredded wheat stuck under your dentures. Let it sit there long enough and eventually it’s going to hurt you more than anyone else. That leads to a surprisingly serious conversation about resentment, emotional baggage, and learning to deal with anger before it takes over your life.  Finally, one of The Golden Girls’ most emotional moments leads to a simple lesson about friendship: don’t just show up for someone’s worst moments. Show up for their life.  Funny, nostalgic, occasionally inappropriate—and somehow still relevant decades later. Maybe The Golden Girls really did have life figured out.

    49. Can You Ever Go Back? Boycotts, Bad Reviews & One Grocery Store Meltdown

    Send us Fan Mail You swore you’d NEVER go back. Then you realized… you actually really like the place. 😬 This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin ask: When you boycott a business, do you actually have to stick with it? It starts with a dog groomer, a disastrous haircut and a bad Google review. Then there’s a man willing to give up his favorite Thai restaurant over $6 worth of spilled soup. And eventually, Justin confesses what happened at the grocery store when an elderly customer slowed down the self-checkout line. Katy’s verdict? 🏆 Ahole of the Year.** But underneath the ridiculousness is a real question: Are you actually standing up for your values—or are you just holding a grudge? We talk boycotts, bad reviews, Chick-fil-A, Amazon, self-checkout rage, empathy, and why sometimes being right isn’t nearly as important as we think it is. 🎙️ Wrong Way Forward — where bad advice goes to die. 📧 wrongwayforwardpodcast@gmail.com 📱 720-251-4450 Like, subscribe and follow us wherever you get your podcasts. #WrongWayForward #Boycott #BadAdvice #Petty #Grudges #Podcast #FunnyPodcast #LifeAdvice #CustomerService

    48. ONE Thing You Should Do Today (Before You Die).

    Send us Fan Mail What if your obituary became the blueprint for how you live today? This week on Wrong Way Forward, we sit down with Mary McGreevy, creator of the wildly popular Tips From Dead People (450,000+ followers), to explore one of the most unexpected sources of life advice: obituaries. After reading thousands of obituaries, Mary has discovered that the people remembered most fondly aren't necessarily the richest, smartest, or most accomplished—they're the ones who made people feel something. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss:  Why most obituaries get it completely wrong  What people actually remember after you're gone  The biggest regrets people leave behind  Why your obituary shouldn't read like a résumé  How thinking about death can help you live a fuller, happier life today It's funny, surprisingly uplifting, deeply moving, and guaranteed to make you think differently about what really matters. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    47. Are We Alone?

    Send us Fan Mail 👽 Are we alone in the universe... or are we just too arrogant to think otherwise? This week on Wrong Way Forward, Justin and Katy tackle one of their strangest—and surprisingly deepest—conversations yet. After surviving a disappointing alien blockbuster, the discussion turns into something much bigger: 🛸 Do you believe extraterrestrial life exists?  🛸 What would you ask an alien?  🛸 Could the discovery of intelligent life change religion?  🛸 Are curiosity and open-mindedness the real "right way forward?"  🛸 Why do humans assume aliens would look—or think—anything like us? Along the way, they roast Hollywood, debate UFO disclosures, question humanity's place in the universe, and ask whether we're simply too small-minded to imagine what's really out there. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this episode will definitely get you thinking. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. 📧 wrongwayforwardpodcast@gmail.com 📱 Text us: (720) 251-4450 Follow Wrong Way Forward on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn for new episodes every Thursday.

    45. The Dinner Party Dilemma Nobody Wants to Talk About

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when someone who's been sober for a year wants to host a dinner party... but doesn't want a stocked bar? This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin dive into a New York Times advice column that says recovering alcoholics simply shouldn't serve alcohol. Is that really the only option? From BYOB dinner parties and mocktail bars to "beverage captains," dry weddings, and one unforgettable U-Haul-turned-open-bar story, they explore whether there's a better, more realistic approach to balancing sobriety with hospitality. They also share stories about college drinking culture, why Gen Z is drinking less, the challenge of being the only sober person at a party, and why communication—not shame—is probably the best way forward. As always, they roast bad advice... and try to find a better answer. 📱 Follow Wrong Way Forward  YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts  TikTok, Instagram, Facebook & LinkedIn 💬 Text the show: 720-251-4450 📧 Email: wrongwayforwardpodcast@gmail.com New episodes every Thursday. Because the only thing worse than taking bad advice... is giving it.

    43. Stretching... My Patience and Other Gym Meltdowns

    Send us Fan Mail Your yoga class starts late. The Pilates class turns into a coffee chat. The guy at the gym is taking conference calls on speaker. When did wellness become everyone else's problem? This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin are joined by Katy's sister, Anne Elizabeth, to tackle one of life's most underrated sources of rage: terrible gym etiquette. From yoga instructors who never start on time, to Pilates classmates who won't stop talking, to repeat offenders who ignore "no cell phone" policies, the trio debates where the real problem lies. Is it the rude people? The businesses that refuse to enforce their own rules? Or are we the problem for letting it ruin our workout? They also wrestle with the toughest question of all: When do you speak up... and when do you just breathe through it? If you've ever left a workout more stressed than when you arrived, this episode is for you.
