Who brought the whoopee cushion? A 4-year-old has a question about being bad and DLTU welcomes our first live guest: astrologer extraordinaire Isabel Wilder! Also: the time Mandy and Christopher Walken fled an audition.

Don’t Listen to Us is an advice show for advice-skeptics and wisdom-lovers, hosted by Mandy Patinkin, Kathryn Grody, and their son Gideon. Legendary actor Mandy (The Princess Bride, Homeland, Criminal Minds) is the consummate entertainer who shoots from the hip, stage actress Kathryn is the thoughtful connector who sees all the nuance, and Gideon is the brave soul keeping them on track (or at least trying). Together, Mandy and Kathryn have 40+ years of marriage, 140+ years of life experience, and a series of viral social media posts where Gideon interviews them and watches both chaos and wisdom ensue.

They don’t always agree on what advice to give—in fact, they rarely do. But they draw from their highs and lows as artists, parents, lovers, and humans, to give their unique take on real dilemmas submitted by you -- the listeners. Hang out with this family and you’ll walk away with insights you didn’t expect, stories you’ll want to repeat, and comfort knowing that you’re not alone in figuring out how to survive this fakakta world.

Astrology, Farts, and Mistakes We Made

If you move somewhere new and hate it… do you stick it out or start over? Mandy and Kathryn have very different answers. In this episode, they get into moving regret, how to decide whether to stay or leave, and the emotional reality of starting over in a new place. Also: creative and surprising ways to cope with grief, the rituals that keep people we’ve lost close, and Kathryn reveals her secret, longstanding hatred of jokes. Mandy and Kathryn’s guest is Carla Fernandez, author of Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life After Loss.

Should You Stay or Leave When You Hate Where You Live?

Ever wonder what your pet actually thinks of you? We sit down with an Animal Communicator and Pet Psychic who reads Becky, our dog. Let’s just say, we may never look at Becky the same way again! Plus, Mandy’s surprising story of when he was offered The Princess Bride. Oh, and what we really (maybe) would’ve done if acting didn’t work out.

Please note - We record these episodes in advance so we don’t always get to respond in real time to what’s going on in the world.
