Host Sam Demboski sits down with a different guest each week as they share stories of their biggest mistakes, failures, and personal struggles. We may not have solutions, but... at least we know what NOT to do.
Cameron talks about being the "Nice Guy" and its repercussions (or lack thereof) and learning the social ropes. Plus, he comes up with the best episode title we never used. A Lifetime Original movie.
Sam relinquishes her usual duties to guest host Kayla and shares her own story of destroyed friendship, mental illness and suicide, failing to let go, and--everyone's favorite holiday--World Mental Health Day 2016.
Gary was in a band, and now he isn't. He talks about when working with others stops working, his own musical development, and staring off into the distance...
Sophie dives deep into the effects of divorce and family conflict, death, guilt, depression, suicide, and one involuntary psychiatric hold. And soup. And pizza. And Linda.
Jay discusses codependency, burning bridges (and friendships), the importance of being alone, and why it's probably just best to have a mop with you at all times.
Cailey talks about the convergence of drug use, depression, and body image as a teenager, we definitively state that making a bad choice doesn't make you a bad person, and I'm skipping this third joke bit to state that again. That's what this podcast is all about. Also, Here's What You Don't Do will be on hiatus for the month of June: new episodes return on July 3rd!
In Erica's own words, "This is a beautiful coming of age tale about hives, about love of celebrities, about freaking out... It's a goodie." Innocence, jobs, and allergies are all won and lost; there's a Q&A session, a bonus secret, and Rob says we probably won't get sued.
David takes us on a journey of anti-self-discovery, learning to not care about caring about not caring, and references.
Anthony starts us off with an escape to Las Vegas and the problem with running from your problems, we cover the dangers of written communication, drugs, drinks, and dependency, and there's a rooster. Content Warning: this episode contains a brief discussion of suicide and suicidal threats.
Kristine talks about living with and managing PTSD, all the stuff they don't tell you in the movies, and we meet Charles the pickle man.
Amanda addresses the development and (spoiler) end of a toxic friendship, red flags, catfishing, and the Lyte Funkie Ones.
Mentally ill addict comedians unite! John talks about the path to addiction, getting clean, mental health, coping strategies, and the butter to our bread: comedy.
Katie calls in to share the pitfalls of online dating, offline meetings, and dowsing for ghosts.
Nathan takes us to Los Angeles and back again, minus a Hollywood dream and a tooth.
Grace shares her experiences with cocaine addiction and rehab and the unforeseen hazards of sugar-free candy.
Kayla talks about bisexuality, discovering polyamory, and f*cking stuff up all the time.
Ruth discusses family ties, the fantasy bond, and the right time for honesty... and Wolverine.
Producer and audio engineer Rob shares the don'ts and more don'ts of creating a podcast, Sam makes promises she'll never keep, and nothing breaks. Curious about Rob's podcast past? Get a feel for Mouth Feels on Stitcher and iTunes.
