We Need to Break Up Podcast

Relationships are difficult and ending them can be even harder. Break-ups suck! I think we could all use a little more practice. I know I could. That's why I'm going to break up with everyone. We Need to Break Up is a serialized, interview podcast about one man's quest to overcome his fear of confrontation and end his long-term relationship with his girlfriend Elaine. With help from his therapist Dr. Lauren Dice, Justin will be breaking up with new people every month as practice for ending his romantic relationship. It's going to be awkward. It's going to be difficult. It might even be painful. But maybe we'll learn something? I hope so. Oh and don't tell Elaine. That would be bad. Thanks.

  1. EPISODE 1

    The Beginning with Dr. Lauren Dice

    This is the beginning! Episode One. Wow. And seeing as this was all her idea, I thought it would be appropriate to kick off the show by interviewing my therapist, Dr. Lauren Dice. We talk a lot about her methods and her plans for my therapy. I climb a ladder. We invoke the name of Thor, the God of Thunder. Dr. Dice drinks a lot of tea. A lot happens. But I'm excited to begin my journey. I hope you're excited too. Enjoy! We Need to Break Up is a serialized, interview podcast about my quest to overcome my fear of confrontation and break up with my long-term girlfriend Elaine. With help from my therapist Dr. Lauren Dice, I will be breaking up with new people every month as practice for ending my romantic relationship. It's going to be awkward. It's going to be difficult. It might even be painful. But maybe we'll learn something? I hope so. Got a break-up story you would like to share? Send it to me at weneedtobreakuppodcast@gmail.com and I'll read it on the show! Dr. Dice may even throw her two cents in. Oh and don't tell Elaine. That would be bad. Thanks.

    Breaking Up With My Trash Collector

    Episode two! This is a big episode. My first break-up. Wow. It wasn't easy choosing who would be first but I eventually settled on possibly the most low-stakes relationship I had: my trash collector. Or, as he refers to himself, a "Refuse Expert." This one doesn't go QUITE as I expected. Gibbs is a funny guy with a lot of not-so-funny problems and I wasn't proud of adding one to the list. And as you'll hear, Gibbs wasn't so proud either. Special thanks to Richie Warmkessel for the emotional support through this break-up.

    Breaking Up With My Wawa Cashier

    Episode three! Wow. In this episode I break up with Denise, my Wawa Cashier. Since I started going to this particular WaWa, Denise has always greeted me with a cup of coffee and a smile. Whether it's her cheerful disposition, her Heart t-shirt or her smelly feet, she always leaves a memorable impression. Which is why this was so difficult. I mean, do you know how hard it is to find a good Wawa these days? Pretty hard! Special thanks to Erica Sylvester for the emotional support through this break-up.

    Breaking Up With My Deli Guy

    Welcome to Episode 006! Hope everyone is enjoying Summer so far. Decided to kick off mine by breaking up with Brent, my Deli Guy. Brent works at the Wegmans I frequent and cuts all of my meats and cheeses. My sandwich game has been on point for a number years because of Brent. So this sucks for obvious reasons.
