Shrink This! with Lisa Lampanelli
Lisa Lampanelli is back… and she’s got opinions. Comedy's former Queen of Mean may not be a licensed therapist, but that’s never stopped her from dishing out advice. So, after years of roasting celebs (and herself), the retired insult comic has decided it's time for her to help you shrink your problems, roast your bad decisions, and help you get your act together. Each week, Lisa and her unpaid sidekick comedian Nick Scopoletti read letters from real people with real issues—mental health, body image, friendship, family, and why you’re still texting that loser. Every episode of "Shrink This!" is full of unfiltered wisdom, inappropriate jokes, a whole lotta heart, and ZERO B.S. Just when you thought counseling and straight talk had to be 100% serious, turns out it doesn't!
Episodes
In this week's episode, Lisa unpacks the art of delusion: why we lie to ourselves, believe our own hype, and double down even when the facts say "no thanks." She and Nick talk blind ambition, ego, and the fine line between confidence and full-blown fantasy. Listener letters include a woman who thinks she's the next big thing, and a middle-aged man who wants to dive into acting--but hey, a dream is a dream, right? And sometimes deni...
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 ...
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 scrol...
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 apo...
n this episode, Lisa dives into the concept of geographic sobriety: the concept that getting the hell away fixes what ails ya. People run everywhere from Tucson to Timbuktu to avoid their family, their ex, and their internal angst. But does a location change truly help or is the old saying, “Wherever you go, there you are” actually the case? Lisa and Nick read letters from a listener who left her entire family behind to...
In another characteristically honest episode, Lisa goes off about the art of being alone, and whether it’s self-care, emotional shutdown, or just an excuse to avoid people. She and Nick unpack their complicated relationships with downtime, social guilt, and why it takes catching the flu to finally take a break. Then the duo reads letters from a “Real Housewives”-obsessed homebody and a single New Yorker who's tryi...
In the Shrink This! premiere, Lisa Lampanelli dives headfirst into the big stuff– literally. She opens up about her own lifelong battle with body image, food obsession, weight loss surgery, and why she's officially over doing things "the hard way.” With help from her sidekick Nick, Lisa reads letters from listeners struggling with emotional eating, body acceptance, and that nagging feeling of being stuck&helli...
