  • The One With The $3000 Manicure
    Jun 10 2025

    This week on Don't Make It Weird, we're sipping on gin & juice (thanks Snoop), discussing whether Daniel’s hands are bisexual, and playing a brand new game—Book Title or Bullshit! Dina drops some spicy updates on Ryan Reynolds, and Sean gets tricked into trying melon-flavored regret. We also talk about LitRPGs, self-pub Patreon domination, and how a simple manicure nearly destroyed Dina's finances.

    In This Episode:

    • Taste test: Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre’s Gin & Juice cocktails
    • Shower Thought: Are all hands bisexual?
    • Dina’s TikTok Conspiracy Corner: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and shady PR spins
    • Game Segment: Book Title or Bullshit (you won’t believe what’s real)
    • Writing Updates: Harlequin confusion, chaotic murder mysteries, and line edits
    • LitRPG breakdown: What it is, how it's making people 6 figures a month on Patreon
    • Dina’s $3,000 Manicure: An absolute meltdown at a nail salon
    • Cringey Copulation: The praying mantis strikes again

  • The One With Line Dancing & Blow
    Jun 3 2025

    From princess flasks to TikTok conspiracies and stolen rocks, this episode is absolute chaos in the best way.

    • Drinking games & offhand chaos
    • Dina’s theory that Gen Z TikTok is AI-generated
    • A Neopets sponsorship pitch
    • The wildest “line dancing & blow” story you've never heard
    • Daniel & Dina try to become Synchronicity Sages in Mind Readers
    • Sean teaches Dina about the legendary meme “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”
    • And this week’s Cringey Copulation excerpt... is somehow worse than usual

  • The One Where We Have Issues Forever (feat. Anthony LaFauci & Stevie Wildcard)
    May 26 2025

    We’re BACK, weirdos! After a short hiatus, the Don’t Make It Weird crew returns with indie comic creators Stephen and Anthony, the brains (and butts) behind the hilarious and heartfelt series We Have Issues.

    This week’s episode is stacked with storytelling chaos, off-the-rails games, and more conspiracy than a TikTok rabbit hole. Featuring:

    🧼 Danq’s Shower Thoughts – Prepare for unsolicited wisdom, personal revelations, and a deeply uncomfortable energy.
    🧠 Dina’s TikTok Conspiracy Corner – Birds, billionaires, and bonkers theories that just might be true.
    🎭 DMIW ChatGPT Theater – AI-generated scenes performed live… with the dramatic flair of caffeinated weirdos. This week, it's the Breakup that Destroyed the World.
    🖊️ Interview with Stephen & Anthony – We dive into the origin and evolution of We Have Issues, the power of creative friendship, and what it’s like making comics with kids around.
    🫣 Cringey Copulation – One of the most awkward “romantic” scenes ever read aloud. You're welcome and we’re sorry (not sorry).
