In another characteristically honest episode, Lisa unpacks the weird, squirmy discomfort of receiving a compliment-- and why some people would rather fake a seizure than say, "Thank you." She and Nick discuss the fine line between humility and self-loathing, the deeply rooted need to deflect praise, and why accepting kindness is somehow more stressful than death and public speaking. Listeners include one woman who panic every time someone says something nice to her, and another who wonders if she's fishing for validation or is just emotionally constipated.

In another characteristically unhinged episode, Lisa Lampanelli asks the hard-hitting question: when does a harmless hobby turn into a full-blown obsession? She and Nick take a look at the weird little fixations that help us survive modern life—whether it’s binge-watching “Cobra Kai,” collecting Fiestaware like your life depends on it, or gambling away your rent money on the couch while your girlfriend scrolls Instagram next to you.

Along the way, they read letters from listeners with obsessions that range from cute to “please seek help.” If you’ve ever found yourself crying over a Hallmark movie marathon or buying five versions of the same T-shirt because you “just need them,” this episode’s for you.

This week on “Shrink This!,” Lisa waxes poetic on the nuanced subject of apologies. After spiraling over a 19-year-old she may or may not have offended, she and Nick debate about saying “I’m sorry” waaaaaay too frequently. Then, Lisa makes the case that being “non-confrontational” is just a cute way of saying, “I’m a huge p*ssy!” Listen now unless you’re too busy apologizing for existing.
