SHRINKAGE EPISODE #7 June 10th, 2026

Barstool Sports Presents Trinkage. This show is made for an adult audience. This show may contain sexually orientated content. Lesson on discretion is advised. Sweet!

Can we handle your problems on the call or are we just shrinking under the pressure?

This week on Shrinkage, Danny, Mikey, and Doitche risk it all and test out live-to-tape calls. You dialed in, and things immediately went off the rails into the absolute depths of relationship trauma, petty grievances, and neighborhood survival.

We are tackling the heavy hitters, the deeply toxic, and the downright hilarious:
-The Toxic Escape Plan: How to avoid your toxic ex and actually escape a bad relationship.
-Divorce Court: Diving deep into the legal (and emotional) warfare of splitting up.
Calls today include
-Sidewalk Rage: Why do people walk so phenomenally slow on the sidewalk?!

-Co-Parenting Nightmares: Dealing with unbearable baby mommas and baby daddys without losing your mind.

-The Friendship Minefield: What to do when your friend hooks up with that someone, and how to spot a manipulating friend.

-Humboldt Park Chronicles: The real-life hardships and wild stories of being a security guard in Humboldt Park.

-Delusional Confidence: A caller checks in with ultimate confidence... but they might just be entirely delusional.

PLUS: Mikey officially has beef. He goes on a hilarious rant attacking another show for stealing "Grind My Gears" without giving him his proper flowers.

There is so much packed into this episode, you just have to hit play.

Pull up a chair and grab your clippers—it’s getting real in the studio this week. MikeyBets and Danny Conrad are back behind the mics, taking your calls and diving deep into the messy overlap of personal grooming and personal drama.

This week, the phone lines stayed hot as we tackled the ultimate "quarter-life crisis" move: cutting your own hair. Whether you’re looking for a fresh start or just trying to save twenty bucks, Danny and Mikey debate the fine line between a sharp DIY fade and a total disaster. Speaking of hair (or the lack thereof), we get into the psychology of going bald. Is it better to fight the receding tide or just embrace the chrome?

Inside This Week’s Call-In’s:

• The Chrome Dome Chronicles: Mikey and Danny’s guide to losing your hair with dignity.

• Toxic Ties: Real talk on identifying red flags before they become a lifestyle.

• The Great Divide: A candid, unfiltered look at the differing perspectives between men and women when it comes to dating, communication, and "the little things."
