Losers With A Dream with Lisa Lampanelli

This week, the Losers discuss their FINAL topic: Happy Endings. It’s absolutely crucial to leave a job or a relationship - or even a podcast - before you resent it. This week, the Losers take their own advice and leave while everyone is still friends and the show is the quality you all deserve! Thank you, listeners, for making the past year simply amazing!!

This week, the Losers talk about the concept of celebrating our failures. On the surface, this seems like a contradiction of terms since failure has such a negative connotation. However, what if we started looking at the things we fail at as meant-to-be building blocks to what we’re actually supposed to do next? Seems like a better way to live and a more positive way to go through life. Listen to this week’s episode to find out how to spin your defeats into dividends.

This week, the Losers discuss the concept of Regret. Living with our past mistakes and the pain of things we did or didn’t try can make us wistful and even depressed. But is it possible that regret is actually a GOOD thing? Can it help us live better lives right now? And can the philosophy, “No regrets!,” be unhealthy and even damaging? Check out this week’s episode to find out. (We’d say “you won’t regret it!” but who knows? You just might!)

This week, the Losers discuss the concept of Delusion. We’ve all had moments when we’ve thought we were better or worse than we actually are, but when do relatively normal delusional thoughts tip over into an all-out condition? Whether it’s thinking you’re homely when you’re not (like Nick) or you’re convinced that selling out Madison Square Garden is in your future (like Beau), these thoughts all comes from the same place. How can delusion help, and how can it hurt? Listen and find out!

This week, the Losers discuss taking one step forward and two steps back. Whether it’s a promise we make to ourselves about meaningless sex, alcohol or White Castle cheeseburgers, every little step ahead seems to come with a side order of regression. Even though we’d like to believe we’ll never slide back into our old ways, sometimes the loving embrace of our vices is impossible to resist. But fear not! As the old adage goes: it’s about progress NOT perfection. And a little bit of self-forgiveness goes a long, long way.

In this special episode taped back in December 2021, the Losers discuss their very recent - and distant past - breakups and heartbreaks. All three of us have had our share of relationships that came to timely or untimely ends. So, this week, we finally put it all out on the table and ponder if the lessons learned are worth the loss.

This week, the Losers discuss adult bullying. We’re not talking about childhood playground bullying - we’re talking about the mean jabs we throw at loved ones and friends, and then play off as “just a joke.” We’ve all bullied as adults and we’ve all been on the receiving end of bullying and hurtful comments. Why do we do this as grown-ups - especially to the people we are closest to? And why should we stop? Listen to this episode - or we’ll see you a recess, bitch!

This week, the Losers discuss abstinence. Sex can be a huge distraction in our lives. It can keep us from achieving our goals if we let sexual desire run rampant. Have you ever felt that sex was running your life? Is sex not that big a deal to you? Either way, listen and learn now to keep it in your pants.

This week, the Losers discuss the concept of apologizing. Making amends and saying you’re in the wrong can be one humbling experience! Swallowing your pride and apologizing takes courage, but sometimes it’s the last thing we’re willing to do. Have you ever apologized without really meaning it? Does the idea of having to make amends freak you out? And when is it actually WRONG to apologize? Listen to this week’s episode and find out!

This week, the Losers discuss the concept of surrender. Letting go of results and giving up control is a crucial step towards experiencing peace. But contrary to popular belief, surrendering isn’t the same as just plain giving up. If you ever feel anxious or depressed because nothing you do seems to go the way you want it to, it might be time to surrender. Check out this week’s podcast and let go!

This week, the Losers discuss getting older and staying put. There’s nothing we love more than cancelling plans and staying home. However, have you ever cancelled plans and felt guilty? Do you find yourself going out only to realize you’re chasing something you don’t really desire? The Losers discuss when it’s best to stay home and when it’s necessary to socialize. Now stay home and listen!

This week, the Losers discuss emotional terrorism, the act of taking someone hostage and making them deal with our emotions. We’ve all done this in different ways and we often do it without thinking. Listen to this episode and find out how to take emotional hostages no more!

This week, the Losers discuss the fear of Intimacy. Opening your heart to true intimacy is a vulnerable and oftentimes scary experience. Have you ever closed yourself off to a relationship because you didn’t want to get hurt? Well, guess what? So have we! We have some ideas on what to do to quell this fear of being intimate. Check ‘em out!

This week, the Losers discuss Loneliness. Feeling lonely is a completely normal albeit unfortunate part of the human experience. But when does loneliness go too far and tip over into codependence? How do we combat loneliness and not run from it? And what is the feeling of loneliness trying to tell and teach us? The Losers tackle these questions and more head-on.

This week, the Losers discuss the controversial concept of Manifesting. Have you ever told yourself, “If you can dream it, you can do it?” and STILL been disappointed with the results? Well, we think we know why. Manifesting might be mostly bullshit, but as in most piles of turd, there might just be a kernel of truth. We try to unearth that nugget in this week’s episode!

This week, the Losers talk about asking for help. Why the hell is it so difficult to admit we need help? Most of us never want to acknowledge to ourselves, much less to others, that we don’t know how to do something. Whether it’s getting sober or dealing with depression, it’s tough to ask for help - but ultimately it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Listen and hear why.

This week, the Losers discuss fear of loss. Whether it’s the case of a loved one, a situation, or an object, fear of losing something can stop us from being vulnerable and completely opening ourselves up to opportunities and even love. Have you ever created distance from a person or a goal because you were afraid you couldn’t handle if they disappeared? And what’s the difference between putting up an impenetrable wall and a healthy boundary? We have some answers on this week’s episode!

This week, the Losers discuss self-centeredness. It’s easy to get caught up in our own shit, but this can make the people around us feel unseen. Need to remember to ask a friend how they’re doing - or about anything that DOESN’T have to do with you? Us too! Listen to get some laughs and  insight on how to break free of this natural - but douche-y pattern.

This week, the Losers discuss self-sabotage, that little habit we have of subconsciously or . purposefully ruining a relationship, job opportunity or something else that’s important to us. Do we self-sabotage in order to be the victim of our own story, and what is the difference between self-sabotage and an accidental happening? Thinking about stopping this cycle? Listen to this week’s episode to hear how.

This week, the Losers talk about the deadly sin of envy, particularly envy of those we don’t think deserve what they have. We have a feeling we’re not the only ones who feel envious of someone we feel is less awesome than us. So check out this week’s episode to hear how to get out of this toxic habit.

This week, the Losers try to figure out why nothing’s ever enough. Whether it’s money, food, or accomplishments, the things we use to fill the hole never seem to satisfy us. So why do we keep binging and hoarding? Check out this week’s episode to find out how to stop this vicious cycle.

This week, the Losers discuss boundaries. Setting and honoring boundaries can be the difference between having healthy relationships and completely dysfunctional ones. Do you know when you’ve crossed a friend’s boundary? Do you let people know when they’ve crossed yours? The Losers dig deep this week on this heartfelt episode.

This week, the Losers discuss staying too long at the party. Whether it’s a relationship, a career or an actual party, sometimes we stay too long out of fear of what’s on the other side. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener…but it usually is.

This week on Losers with a Dream, we discuss lying. There are the lies we tell ourselves, the lies we tell others, and the lies we eventually end up believing. Big or small, we cover them all. Speaking of which, does Beau lie about reading books? Does Nick lie to his dad about his whereabouts? Does Lisa lie about actually liking Beau and Nick ?! Listen to find out!

This week, the Losers talk about the concept of daring to suck at something. Whether it’s trying something for the first time or the 10th time, why do we keep coming back and how do we know when to quit? And why are we willing to suck at something, even if it takes YEARS to be successful or good at it? If you’ve been listening for a while, you know the Losers suck at PLENTY of things. Listen to this week’s episode and find out why, how and if they keep going when the going is rough AF.

This week, the Losers ask themselves the question, “Does Misery Really Love Company?”. Sure, misery is WAY more fun when we can drag someone down with us, but is it the best way to get through the pain? And when we find ourselves being miserable, how do we get out of that cycle? We’re all miserable sometimes - Lord knows, Beau and Nick make Lisa miserable on a daily basis - but YOU won’t be miserable after listening to this episode!

This week, the Losers discuss judgment. We’re all quick to judge people - especially because sometimes it’s just f*in’ fun! But it ain’t so much fun when we turn that judgment onto ourselves. WHY do we do it? And how can we stop? The only thing we know for sure is that YOU will be judged if you don’t listen!

This week, the Losers discuss feelings. Our feelings change constantly and not always for the better. What do we do to avoid feelings? When is it okay to feel feelings, and when is it too damned much? Do Beau and Nick feel each other? Does Lisa have a feeling she needs new co-hosts? Listen to this episode of the podcast, and find out!

This week, the Losers talk about the stories we tell ourselves. Words are powerful and the things we’ve told ourselves - truths OR lies - can impact the ways we live and the way we feel about ourselves. Is Nick dumb? Is Beau unattractive? Is Lisa superior in every way? Listen and out!
