SHRINKAGE: EPISODE #9: FIRST DATE HORROR STORIES/ WEIRDEST KINKS (June 24th, 2026)

Episode Description

Mikey Danny and Doitche are back at it again taking calls and causing chaos. Today's episode has the type of calls that lead us into so many Segways and stories we didn't know about each other. Welcome back to Shrinkage! We officially made it to Episode 9! Remember, this show is for entertainment purposes only and is absolutely not a replacement for therapy, medical advice, or professional help. In this episode, the guys dive into the brutal realities of the "Ozempic depression" and how losing the joy of late-night fridge raids can take a serious toll on your mood. Deutsch also breaks down his wild, terrifying, and ultimately heartbreaking stormchasing trip with White Sox Dave. From dealing with a dead car battery to getting way too close to a tornado and encountering injured farm animals, it was a day none of them will ever forget. Plus, we react to listener voicemails, including a first date horror story about an ambitious murder mystery party that went south when it was discovered the date couldn't read, and a friend looking for advice on why their dates always seem to crash and burn by the third meeting. Should we shame people for coming to work sick post-COVID? Is silence on a date actually a good thing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
