On this episode of The Damaged Ones Podcast, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altand dive into the weird, messy world of mashup songs—yeah, those Frankenstein tracks that somehow work way too well. We talk about the ones that hit us hardest, whether it’s because they’re hilarious, oddly emotional, or just plain chaotic. Expect dark humor, way too much honesty, and a few guilty-pleasure confessions along the way!

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest things holding us back: fear. Whether it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or that little voice whispering imposter syndrome, we all deal with it. We break down what fear really is, how it sneaks into our daily lives, and what small, consistent steps we can take to push past it and start moving forward. Along the way, we take a trip down memory lane with some Lock Haven college stories, mix in a fun Would You Rather segment, and wrap it all up with what’s coming and what to do look forward to next week!

Ever feel like you just want to scream at the top of your lungs? Welcome to the Men’s Primal Scream episode — where we talk about the pressure to keep it all bottled up because “that’s what men are supposed to do.” We’ll get into the everyday struggles that make you want to explode, and why letting it out might be exactly what we need.

Plus, we dive into relationships — specifically, getting women to think a little more logically instead of purely emotionally (yep, we’re going there). Along the way, Mike Garcia and Sarah Atland bond over their love for animals… and as a bonus, Mike goes off on a hilarious rant about how much he hated sharing toys with his siblings.

Dark humor. Real talk. Comedy you probably shouldn’t play at work — it’s all here!!!

This one’s gonna sting for some people. We’re talking Sydney Sweeney catching heat just for being hot in an American Eagle ad, Shannon Sharpe getting the boot from ESPN (and yeah, it might have something to do with not keeping things in check), and John Cena making his fiancée sign a 75-page contract before marriage. Plus, the Coldplay Cam fallout and what that says about modern dating. From jealousy to fake outrage to why most men, and Mike Garcia seems scared of marriage — it’s all connected. Let’s talk about why “They” are always mad... and what’s really going on underneath.

Turning things around a bit for I, Mike Garcia & Sarah Altand, we decided to search and reflect upon reddit stories on Am I the Asshole (AITA). Anything from weddings, to relationships, to situations that you can relate to or be on the lookout for in some way. Plus, we give tribute to our recent stars that recently passed away, Hulk Hogan, Ozzy Osbourne, etc. Plus, our returning segment of Would You Rather?

So a lot goes on in one's private life. Bad dates, crazy hookup stories, and a Kiss Cam that goes wrong at a Coldplay concert. Mike Garcia & Sarah Altand discuss the crazy story that's hitting news everywhere and goes into why this is actually a bigger floodgate than ever in corporate job places. The reality is, cheating in public should never be a thing. Plus, Mike goes into an awkward situation where he almost hooked up with a woman that "kinda" used him as a microphone. Full of laughs and things to think about, you don't want to miss it. As always, don't forget to like, subscribe, share and download the podcast! Tune in next week as we dive into reddit stories for the AITA (Am I the Asshole?) section.

You've heard it here folks, I, Mike Garcia will be turning 35 next Tuesday, which means there are more immediate goals I need to make for myself. And a few covers some life goals that needs to happen. Anywhere along the lines of getting a new tattoo, which Sarah Altand explains well in detail, getting, or at least, working with fun exotic animals, getting a dash cam, or just be more aware of life choices. This is the age of millennials, now is the time to get shit done! All that plus our returning segment of Would You Rather, and much more right here on the podcast!

There are passionate people, there are those that do go overboard from time to time, then there are the ones that take it to the EXTREME! Whether it is people on social media, like the Trans person, Lilly “Tino” Contino, being a predator to record in women's bathrooms, the unnecessary debate on Apple vs. Android phones, both rage & race-baiters and so much more. Then again, we can become extremists ourselves, especially when it comes to animals, or the one commonality we all have a need for, which is money. Mike Garcia & Sarah Altand dives into all of it and more, plus the returning segment of "Would You Rather?" As always, don't forget to Like, Subscribe, Download and Share the podcast!
