Getting Chatty about... the Lindsay Clancy Case, Halloween, and DC Lanterns

We’re back with another episode, catching up on everything that’s happened since we last cheers’d! We chat about our own lives filled with movie nights, swim lessons, back-to-school shopping, Spirit Halloween visits, Ladder workouts, enjoying San Francisco nights, and kicking off Fall with all things pumpkin spice. In this week’s "What The Fuck Trump News," we take it back to 2017 with Trump's Inaugural address sounding like the exact same speech from the Bee Movie. We then pay our respects to Hayden Panettiere, discuss the awful statement released by her estranged mother, react to the massive Penn State cocaine bust, and give an update on the Lindsay Clancy case—including the judge’s abrupt halt to the trial leaving the jury dismissed with a warning "not to speculate," and how the prosecution may have inadvertently helped the defense. On a brighter note, our "Good news we’re sippin’" highlights the inspiring Maja Kristin and her generous donation to teachers in Marin County. Finally, in "What We Watched," Danielle continues her Vampire Diaries rewatch, in honor of Hayden Panettiere watches Scream 4, ticks away at the Halloween Collection on Disney+, and breaks down the new Sons of Anarchy show announcement, while Dami tunes into House of Stassi, the new Lanterns show on Disney+, and still trucking along with Euphoria. Take a seat, get the news, and come hang with us.

Getting Chatty about... the Clancy Trial, The Shards, and the House of the Dragon finale

We kick things off by sharing what we’ve been up to since our last cheers—from Danielle's kid-free night out at an Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy, Halloween decorating, and movie nights, to Dami navigating work, upcoming school events, and whipping up some spicy apples. Then, we dive into the wild cycle of news in our segment What The Fuck Trump News, covering the official announcement of the "Patriot Games" youth sports contest and Karoline Leavitt stepping down. In What We Choose, we get into the heavy stuff and current events, including declining national test scores, dwindling oil stockpiles, the tragic news of another school shooting in Georgia, the Clancy Trial, and men protesting the Tate brothers' incarceration. We also fall down the Conspiracy Corner rabbit hole to talk about the White House fembot theories. Finally, we break down everything we watched this week! We dissect the House of the Dragon Season 3 finale, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Beetlejuice, Halloweentown, The Shards (Hulu/FX), The Vampire Diaries rewatch, Until Dawn (Netflix), House of Stassi, Silo, Ted Lasso, and Roofman.

Getting Chatty about… Sterling Point, Perez Hilton, and Ted Lasso

Grab a seat, get the news, and come hang with us! In this week's trending news headlines, movies, and TV, we’re talking about the lack of media surrounding Capital One closing 300 Trump accounts over money laundering and the final birthright citizenship order. We're also shouting out Governor Newsom for dispatching California firefighters to battle Oregon blazes, California’s new DROP law letting residents delete data, and the viral and scary Perez Hilton TikTok livestream. We’re also talking hot pop culture drops like the wild trailer for Wicker, taking romantasy to an absolute extreme, and Ms. Rachel standing her ground and giving zero fucks. We also take a trip to Conspiracy Corner, talking about data centers secretly powering underground cities and draining our water supply... what do you think?! We then dive into our watch list: House of the Dragon Season 3, The Devil’s Mouth, The Drama, Phantom of the Opera, Furious, Scream Queens rewatch, Sterling Point, McBee Dynasty, The Dink, Ted Lasso Season 4, and Obsession (which leads into a horror chat and the movie scenes that have stuck with us -- talking about you Hereditary and Misommar, thanks a lot Ari Aster). 🎙️✨🔥 #HouseOfTheDragon #Romantasy #TedLasso #MsRachel #ConspiracyTheory Instagram: @news.wwc Danielle IG: @danielledene Dami IG: @damiana.pierce

Getting Chatty about... Devil Wears Prada 2, House of Stassi, and Obsession

In our latest episode, after we give an update on the goings on of our lives, we dive headfirst into everything from tech terrors (is Terminator our future?!) to pop culture news! We tackle the alarming reports of AI companies destroying rare books, another rogue AI agent escaping, Flock camera glitches, and the newly released journals of Dr. Fauci (alongside nurses sharing their raw pandemic experiences). We also honor the incredible legacy of the real-life Rosie the Riveter following her passing at age 100. We look into the latest news surrounding Jared Leto, and also catch up on global updates. We then get into our recaps of Devil Wears Prada 2 and House of the Dragon (adios Ser Criston Cole), plus we cover Silo Season 3, One Piece (safe to say Dami was not a fan!), the PHENOMENAL House of Stassi season, Along for the Ride (sup long haired Garrett Graham), Mary Beth's Galaxy Brain HILARIOUS stand-up special, Obsession by proxy (thank you Dylan is in Trouble), and Danielle (and Wyatt's) coverage of last weekend's Warped Tour live stream -- Sunday faves: MxPx and Story of the Year.

Getting Chatty about... House of the Dragon, Warped Tour, and Widow’s Bay

We’re back with a fresh recap of everything we’ve been up to, what’s going on in the news, and of course, what we’ve been watching! Since our last cheers, Danielle has officially dove head first into spooky season, while Dami floated around Vegas and tackled swim lessons. In What the Fuck Trump News, we touch on his lovely "deal with it" statement about the data centers, what we should be using AI on and shouting out some pretty amazing women: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Melanie Perkins. We also talk about the insanity of Bryan Johnson, sadness out of Berlin's Pride Festival, and the administration defunding the sex-education program. On our screens, we both tuned into House of the Dragon and continued with Widows Bay. Dami’s been trying to get back into Palm Royale Season 2 and giving Silo an honest shot (a whole 10 seconds of it!) plus sharing her anime Frieren, rec. Danielle went on a massive watch marathon: finishing Elle (can't wait for Season 2!), crying through Project Hail Mary, getting shocked by A Toxic Love Story documentary, checking out the children's murder mystery Sheep Detectives, catching the Warped Tour live stream (which takes us on a trip down memory lane and the first concerts we went to), and revisited throwbacks like It Takes Two, Richie Rich, Mamma Mia, The Lost Boys, Easy A, Hocus Pocus 2, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

We also talk all about the fecal lettuce Cyclospora parasite outbreak (have you been eating salads still?). In "What We Watched," we talk about The McBee Dynasty on Peacock, which sparked a massive conversation about whether you'd ever hand over a portion of your business to a stranger (our opinions: absolutely not). We also celebrate the Love Island finale now that Brinity won! Plus, we dive into Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You on Netflix, Elle on Amazon Prime, The Five Star Weekend on Peacock, and Hocus Pocus marking 33 years since its release (33?! Rude!).
