The internet: “Here’s an ad for Viagra ☺️” Also, the internet: “Whoa, whoa, whoa… a trans person wearing clothes?? Absolutely not.” The double standard is exhausting, and that censorship disproportionately targets trans folks and people with bodies that aren’t uber-thin. And yeah, that shapes how people express themselves, how visible…
Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do for your partner is to leave. If you’re constantly uncomfortable with your partner’s identity or wishing for things to go back to how they used to be, that’s not something you can “wait out.” 😒 And it’s not fair to ask them…
Is it still “support” if you’re trying to change how your partner expresses and explores their gender? In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell are joined by the talented Rae Hill, a nonbinary advocate, educator, designer, and founder of @origamicustoms. Together, they read two Reddit posts about gender exploration,…
What do Heated Rivalry, Sinners, and K-Pop Demon Hunters have in common? They’re all pieces of media that our corporate overlords didn’t think would succeed, and didn’t put a lot of resources behind. You know what else they have in common? They’re completely earnest and made by people who gave…
Yes, Heated Rivalry is hot. Yes, the show is now an integral part of @DrLizPowellpersonality. But why does everyone on the show have to look dehydrated and starving? 🥲 A full breakdown of the show wouldn’t be complete without addressing the gasoline it threw on the thin-pocalypse happening right now.…
If no one else will say it, we will: A lot of men don’t have friends. They have coworkers, people that they can grab a beer and watch the game with. But when they’re struggling or hurting? It’s crickets. And that is a big part of why we have a…
You watched Heated Rivalry…and now you want more shows that explore vulnerable “man feelings?” 👀 Same. Because there’s not a lot of media where men, especially traditionally masculine men, are having real, meaningful conversation about their feelings. So where do you go next? @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are breaking down other…
Repeat after me: Women are not responsible for fixing the male loneliness epidemic. Men need real friendships with other men. Full stop. That means talking about your feelings, letting yourself be known, and being vulnerable with your friends. Heated Rivalry (and yes, Harris, Shoresy) show what that can look like,…
Has a TV show ever completely changed how you think about relationships? In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are talking about Heated Rivalry, the breakout HBO series that’s not only making waves with fans, but also with pro athletes who’ve found the courage to come out because of…
If you’re a follower of the Do As We Say podcast, then you know that we’re going to tell you to be yourself! Even if that person is a little weird, or a little polarizing, that’s just going to make it so much easier for you to find the people…
People are messy and quirky, and dating is no different! If something is important to you, let your potential partner know upfront, because it might just mean that you’re not a good fit. Let’s make 2026 a year where we all stop trying to force a connection! 🧩 In Ep…
Romantic relationships are great (hello, we’re a dating podcast!), but your partner can’t be your therapist, best friend, mom, maid, and emotional dumping ground. In Ep 6 of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove bring some tough love, especially for our cis straight dude listeners (we still love you, promise). If you’re…
PSA: If you’re ashamed to be seen in public with a partner because of how your friends, or even total strangers, might react, then you shouldn’t be dating them. 📣 You might want to start with some internal work, like adjusting what attractive means to you! In fact, it’s easier…
Your dating profile is the first opportunity for folks to learn about you and decide if they want to get to know you better, because who goes out to meet new people anymore? 😉 If you’re turning to AI to write your profile, or staying vague to avoid offending people,…
If you date straight men, you know how many “are you a creep (or worse)” tests you have to run between the first message and the first date, and one of the biggest is figuring out if they can take a no. And if you are a straight dude, be…
How detailed do you get in your dating app profile? In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove kick things off with a look at r/AskWomenNoCensor, where a man asks women what they want. To no one’s surprise, men were quick to jump in with their opinions. Harris and Dr.…
Professional =/= good. Sometimes, professionals are good at the performance, or the fantasy, but not the real thing. Like you wouldn’t watch the Fast and Furious to teach yourself how to drive, right? (Please say no!) Adult films are a performance, not reality, and they’re probably even less real than…
Being as palatable as possible to the broadest group of people is B-O-R-I-N-G. Yes, being your full, weird, and juicy self might mean that some folks won’t like you, but the ones who do? Well, they’ll really like you! 🍑 So why are @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove talking about being the…
Just because you’re seeing it on the silver screen (or the X-rated one) doesn’t mean it’s real. When actors pull off their shirts to show off their shredded abs, that’s just as much a fantasy as being a superhero who can fly. Looking like that takes a combo of dehydration,…
Wait, wait, wait, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are talking about WHAT in Ep 5 of @DoAsWeSayPod?! Did your ears deceive you? 👂 Nope. You heard correctly. Dr. Liz and Harris explore the community of men who are dedicated to increasing their load size, and the somewhat questionable ways and reasons they…
Have you ever cared about the amount of someone’s…ahem…ejaculation? In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod , @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell talk about the men who really, really care about shooting ropes like Spider-Man. That’s right. They’re talking about nutmaxxers. Fueled by the fantasies of porn and a desire for self-optimization, these men…
If you can’t trust someone, you can’t build a relationship with them. You just can’t. And look, @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell get it. It’s never been easier to cheat. The only way to 100% guarantee your partner isn’t cheating is to handcuff yourself to them and never sleep. Beyond that, you…
Can you remember the time before everything was content? Even if you are as big a nerd as @DrNerdLove and have been racking up that screen time since 1995, there was still a big difference between being online and content. You weren’t posting your lunch or a new outfit or…
Think about a time you had a no-good, very bad, horrible day. Maybe you snapped at someone, but you definitely weren’t your best self. Now imagine that moment got filmed, posted online, and seen by millions of people, who all had something to say. Can you imagine that one moment…
