This week on Not A Damn Chance, hosts Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams are joined by the endlessly fascinating Duncan Trussell — comedian, podcaster, spiritual explorer, and co-creator of The Midnight Gospel. From lucid dreams to karmic loops, this one goes deep.
Duncan opens up about his path into comedy, including how a spiritual shift in his mom and a strange liberal arts school friend helped shape his worldview. He shares his early days answering phones at The Comedy Store (with zero plans to be a comic), and how a satanic puppet bit changed everything — including a fateful invite from Joe Rogan that would alter his life forever.
The guys discuss nihilism, dharma vs karma, lust vs love, destiny, and how hitting a wall isn’t failure—it’s a breakthrough in disguise. Duncan also reveals what he would really wish for if given a magic lamp. From Adventure Time to existential time loops, this episode is a mind-expanding trip. Hit play and return to yourself. Eternally.

This week on Not A Damn Chance, hosts Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams welcome Disney legend and actress Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens, Kim Possible). From childhood fame to reality TV survival, Christy brings the realest conversation we’ve had yet.

She opens up about her journey from middle-class Connecticut to Disney Channel stardom, how the industry fast-tracks childhoods, and the emotional (and financial) fallout many child actors face—including bitter ex-stars, manipulative stage parents, and the hard lessons of growing up on camera. They also discuss Millie Bobby Brown, Shia LaBeouf, the toxic cycle of family business, and how Christy literally fired her own mom.

Things get personal as Christy unpacks her time on Special Forces, being buried alive, facing brutal challenges, and the life-altering moment when she was shot in the face. She shares how that trauma reshaped her relationship with faith, humor, resilience, and sobriety. Plus, Phillip reveals his own child acting past, there's some Ren Faire chaos, sober holiday stories, P90X dads, TikTok conspiracies, they also cover going viral after trauma, as well as the importance of mentorships in the kitchen, on set, and in life.

It’s raw, it’s hilarious, and it’s real. Christy proves that no matter how hard life tries to break you, not quitting can be a superpower.
