This week on Bad Examples, the men are in the doghouse and nobody’s getting a treat.
Tray & J check back in on one of our favorite scandals. A few weeks ago, a caller told us how she kept casually walking past her neighbor’s house until he eventually left his wife for her. This week, we hear his side of the story and get his version of what really happened. We’ll let the Baddies decide if he needs to be neutered.

This week, Tray and J take you to the baddest place of all: the slammer. Our caller tells the story of addiction and what happens when you finally hit rock bottom. What starts with boosting, bad decisions, and a one way trip to county turns into one of the wildest stories we’ve heard yet, when a correctional officer and an inmate fall in love.
Along the way, you’ll get a survival guide for your next shoplifting charge and t...
This week, we’re joined by special guest and Jess’s crush Becky Hayter to break down the phenomenon: when straight girls go gay, why do they never go back? What starts as a conversation turns into a campaign to get Tracy to switch teams. But Jess and Becky quickly make Tracy the third wheel… and things go completely off the rails.
Will Tracy open her mind… or will Jess open her legs? Listen now.

The gang’s back together and it gets chaotic fast. Jessica spends most of the episode fighting for her life while Tracy and Alan keep making it worse.

A year into life with baby Cora, we sit down with Alan and Rachel to talk about what that year of parenthood really looks like.
Work-life balance, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and questionable sanity. No one has it figured out… not even our Baddie Daddie. But one thing Alan does know for sure… he’s not letting baby Cora anywhere near Aunties Tray & J unsupervised.

This week, we’re asking you to bring two things: tissues and a Budweiser. In this episode, Jessica shares the heartbreaking news that Denny’s dad, “Papi,” passed away unexpectedly.
This was not an easy episode to make, but it was an important one. We talk about the kind of love grandparents bring into a family, and what it feels like when that love is suddenly gone. We get into the conversations no one prepares you for: how...
What is the cost of being a good friend? This week, Tray & J are getting into how wedding culture has completely spiraled. From destination bachelorettes to mandatory glam, to dresses that cost more than your rent… where does it actually stop? Does being a bridesmaid mean you have to go broke? 💍💸

This week we hear from someone with a perspective you don’t hear very often… the “other woman.” A caller shares her experience knowingly dating a married man with a family and reveals the exact tactics he used to manipulate, lie, cheat, and keep his double life hidden. Tray & J are learning the playbook so we can all spot the red flags and run.

If your toes aren’t paying your rent… what are they even doing? This week we talk to a baddie who turned her pedicures into profit and gives us a step-by-step guide to cashing in on platforms like FeetFinder. Then we hear from a real foot worshipper about what buyers actually want… and he generously volunteers Tray’s piggies for “research.”
By the end of this episode, you’ll be doing some serious “sole” searching.

It’s official. Tray and J are UNCS. In her desperate attempt to score cool points, Jess gets humbled by our Gen Alpha callers. They break down their slang for us and then immediately ban us from saying any of it. Thanks to our little friends, we also picked up a new dialect: Italian brain rot. Plus, Kail calls in with her son Lincoln, who is so embarrassed by us he might just cancel the whole show.
Baddies… if you think you...
It all begins with Tracy’s date, which seemed perfectly normal… until he dropped a confession that stopped us in our tracks. But that was just the start. A baddie caller walks us through her real life nightmare about the boyfriend she trusted for years, only to uncover a betrayal with a twist none of us saw coming. By the end, even Jessica couldn’t hold back tears. Emotional support snacks are advised.

The baddies declare Valentine’s Day officially a girls-only holiday and to celebrate, they’re joined by intimacy expert Susan Bratton. Things quickly spiral when Susan labels Tracy a “sex slave.” Plus, Jessica ambushes Tracy and asks Susan to teach her how to “make love.” You’re welcome in advance.
Grab your wine, your group chat, or your vibrator and repeat after me: IF HE WANTED TO, HE WOULD!

Everything is fine. Except the guy hiding behind the shower curtain and the rat in the toilet. This week we’re talking irrational fears, phobias, and the things that make zero sense but still ruin our peace. If you weren’t worried about “piss hand” before you may be now. You’re welcome.

When do men know they’re in love?
We polled the guys and asked when they know they’re in love. Then we flipped it and asked women how they know a man is in love with them.
The answers were very different, proving yet again that dating is hard and we could all use a little help. Tray and J are here to lend a hand… just not for 45 minutes 😉
