In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa is joined by actress Roberta Wallach from the play, “The People Versus Lenny Bruce” (off-Broadway, 5/7-6/28, @LennyBrucePlay ) to talk about what “freedom of speech” actually means—onstage, online, and in your everyday life. The two get into why saying whatever you want doesn’t mean you won’t face consequences, how comedy has always pushed the envelope (and sometimes torn it open), and why intention vs. impact is where things can get messy. With Celia, they tackle listener questions about using offensive language in group chats, whether your parents get a free pass to be outdated, and if calling your mother-in-law the c-word is ever worth it (spoiler: probably not!). If you’ve ever wondered where the line actually is—or if there even IS a line—this episode breaks down the difference between being honest, being funny, and just being an asshole.

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!
