It’s always fascinating when someone thinks they’re the smartest person in the room…while showing absolutely zero curiosity about anyone else in it. Like, imagine dismissing entire interests, subcultures, or ways of thinking as “low intelligence” just because they’re not your thing. Meanwhile, those “low-brow” pursuits have layers, context, and meaning…
When you read a headline like “Celibacy Taught Me I’m Too Clever to Find Love,” what are you expecting? An introspective breakdown of how someone uses wit to keep people at arm’s length, or a long-winded circle jerk about how women are dumb and *gasp* don’t automatically know who David…
Have you ever met someone with a punchable face…and even more punchable opinions? In this episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell endure the pain of hearing from a man who claims celibacy taught him that he’s “too smart to find love,” and though he comes close, he never actually considers…
Toxic masculinity limits men in every part of life, including pleasure. On the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell, @DrNerdLove, and and Step (they/them) from Cute Little Fkers talk about why so many adult toys for 🍆 havers are still trapped in this idea that everything has to look “manly” to…
Color, fun, joy, and yes, finding pleasure through adult toys are all important parts of fighting fascism. Especially when those toys are made with queer and trans folks in mind and designed to be accessible for all kinds of bodies. Don’t believe us? Tune into the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod…
Gender good. Gender neutral. Gender evil. Gender chaotic. Which one are you? 😈 On the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are joined by Step, founder of Cute Little Fkers and certified embodiment of gender chaos, to talk about why “gender neutral” so often means bland, gray, and stripped…
There have been a lot of advancements in the adult toy industry over the last ten years, so why are toys for men and AMAB folks still stuck in the dark ages? In this episode of Do As We Say, Not As They Did, Dr. Liz Powell and Harris O’Malley…
Men keep searching for the “cheat code” to being more attractive, and then they completely ignore those answers when they’re not complicated enough??? So here you go: @DrNerdLove and @DrLizPowell foolproof, no BS ways to be more attractive: ⏩ Learn how to dance ⏩ Learn how to cook Bam! You’re…
If @DrNerdLove has to suffer about learning through looksmaxxing…then @DrLizPowell has to suffer too. And unfortunately for you? That means we’re not suffering alone. 😉 Because as ridiculous as these dudes can sound, this mindset is getting more mainstream by the day, and it doesn’t always show up as “I’m…
Have you ever found someone attractive…and then they opened their mouth? 🥲 The second you start talking about the ratios of your face and getting into the phrenology of it all, you’ve lost us. Talk about a mood killer. @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove really don’t care to hear about your face…
@DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove are fully in favor of people feeling their best. Get the haircut, wear the outfit, do the skincare routine. If it helps you feel confident enough to actually connect with other people? Incredible. No notes! But looksmaxxing isn’t really about confidence. It’s about performing manliness and suffering…
Looksmaxxing promises a simple solution: get hotter, get laid. So why are so many men following it…and still miserable? In this episode of Do As We Say, Not As They Did, Harris O’Malley and Dr. Liz Powell explore the ugly, uglier, and ugliest sides of the looksmaxxing incel communities that,…
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…
