34. Your Hair or Your Package? Has Looksmaxing Gone Too Far?

36. Sh!tting Yourself for Enlightenment. What is Ibogaine?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530650/fan_mail/new] This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin dive headfirst into the wild world of psychedelic healing drugs — from ayahuasca and ibogaine to ketamine and MDMA therapy. Inspired by a New York Times story about a journalist traveling to Mexico for a 12-hour ibogaine trip, the two debate whether these mind-altering experiences are the right way forward… or just a really expensive way to hallucinate while vomiting into a bucket. Katy is fascinated by the idea of unlocking trauma, healing PTSD, and discovering an “unmarred” version of yourself. Justin? He’s mostly concerned about seeing demons, losing control, and publicly pooping himself in front of strangers. The conversation spirals into Aaron Rodgers, celebrity breakdowns, Britney Spears, ketamine therapy, bad vacation priorities, and the terrifying possibility that psychedelics might actually work. Would you try a drug that could completely change your life… if it also came with a 12-hour hallucination, heart monitors, and possible diarrhea?

35. The Most Infuriating of ALL Human Behavior: Line Cutting

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530650/fan_mail/new] This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin absolutely lose their minds over one of society’s greatest crimes: cutting in line. From airport chaos to airplane aisle vultures to people who think “community norms” don’t apply to them, the duo dives into why basic manners seem to be disappearing in real time — and why line-cutting somehow feels like a full-blown attack on democracy. Then things spiral into celebrity bad behavior, including: • Katy Perry’s increasingly chaotic reputation • The billionaire takeover of the Met Gala • Jeff Bezos backlash and Lauren Sánchez discourse • Why nobody wants tech bros on the red carpet • Whether space tourism is inspiring… or just rich people cosplay Also discussed: wheelchair line ethics, airport rage, Nicole Kidman never aging, “boob shelf” fashion, people standing up before the plane lands, and why Justin is apparently always one public inconvenience away from committing a felony. As always, Wrong Way Forward asks the important question: Are people getting ruder… or are we just finally noticing? Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

34. Your Hair or Your Package? Has Looksmaxing Gone Too Far?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530650/fan_mail/new] This week on Wrong Way Forward, Justin and Katy dive headfirst into one of the internet’s most disturbing trends: “looksmaxing.” From jaw-breaking “beauty hacks” to influencers asking strangers “would you sex me,” the duo breaks down how far people are willing to go for attention—and whether it’s confidence… or complete delusion. They unpack the rise of viral figure “Clavicular,” whose extreme content has earned millions of followers—and landed him in the hospital. Is this self-improvement, or a dangerous spiral fueled by social media validation? And more importantly… why are people rewarding it? But it’s not all chaos. In a sharp turn, they spotlight a brilliant young physicist being called “the next Einstein,” proving not everyone is chasing fame the wrong way. 🔥 Brutal honesty, hilarious takes, and a debate you won’t forget:  Is looking better actually making us worse? 🎧 Watch, laugh, and question everything—only on Wrong Way Forward. 📲 New episodes every Thursday.

33. Dying Moms, Bad Bosses, and Rat Boys

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530650/fan_mail/new] Bad advice meets brutal reality in this week’s episode of Wrong Way Forward. A longtime employee’s mother is dying… and her boss still wants the meetings. Is this heartless corporate nonsense—or a failure of communication on both sides? Justin and Katy break down one of the most uncomfortable advice columns out there and ask the question nobody wants to answer: where does empathy end and accountability begin? From newsroom chaos (yes, including being sent to cover a single snowflake on Christmas Eve) to the art of “contracting” your work relationships before things fall apart, this episode is a masterclass in what happens when expectations are never clearly set. And because we can’t help ourselves—Timothée Chalamet enters the chat, takes a swing at ballet and opera, and somehow becomes the villain of the arts community overnight. It’s messy. It’s funny. It’s a little too real. New episodes drop every Thursday.

32. From Helpful to Hateful: When Reviews Go Too Far

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2530650/fan_mail/new] This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin dive into something we all do—but rarely think about: leaving reviews. Are reviews actually helpful… or are they just emotional drive-bys from people having a bad day? From choosing hotels, doctors, and even dog trainers based on star ratings to questioning whether we’ve lost the ability to think for ourselves, this episode explores how reviews are quietly shaping our decisions—and our reputations.  Katy and Justin break down: *  Why only the happiest (or angriest) people leave reviews  *  When a bad review is justified… and when it’s just petty revenge  *  The hidden risk: businesses reviewing YOU back  *  And how one bad experience can spiral into a public takedown  Plus, they read their own reviews—good, bad, and slightly unhinged—and debate what actually makes a review helpful versus harmful. The bigger question:  Are reviews giving us better information… or just louder opinions? And before you hit “submit” on that next 1-star rant—  you might want to think twice.
