In this episode from 2025, Lisa revisits who owes who an apology—and why we’re all overthinking it. After Lisa spirals for a full week over whether she offended a student (who, it turns out, was completely UNoffended), the crew breaks down the difference between accountability and straight-up codependency. Along with Celia and Nick, Lisa gets into why over-apologizing can be just as annoying as never apologizing; how “I’m not confrontational” is usually just fear in disguise; and why most of the tension you feel with other people is probably something you just made up in your head. Plus, the crew answers listener questions about workplace awkwardness, backhanded compliments from family, and what to do when you can’t stop replaying a conversation. If you’ve ever drafted a fake apology, assumed someone secretly hates you, or said “sorry” five times in a row for no reason, this episode might be the reality check you need.

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!
