News & What We Choose

by Danielle and Dami

Season 1

Getting Tipsy with... Jake Moody, Charlie Kirk, and The Runarounds

On this episode, Danielle sips on some Waterloo while Dami enjoys a Little Beast. Danielle teases the theme of this year’s Halloween photos, shares her experience starting School of Rock, and Dami opens up about where her head’s been lately — with the state of the country seemingly up in flames. In What The Fuck Trump News: the Supreme Court moves to legalize racial profiling, Trump expresses that domestic violence against women shouldn’t be a crime, and questions swirl about whether he suffered a stroke (allegedly). We also cover Jake Moody’s long-awaited departure from the 49ers, Charlie Kirk being shot in Utah, and the now infamous Epstein Birthday Book featuring Trump’s disturbing little doodle. For some good news to sip on, a Kentucky nurse revives a drunk raccoon found in a dumpster — with CPR. Plus, we share a heartfelt shoutout to Steve Buscemi and reflect on our own memories of September 11th. And of course, we wrap up with what we’ve been watching: The Runarounds, Wednesday Season 2 (part 2), Platonic Season 2, The Summer I Turned Pretty Episode 10, Trick r Treat, With Love, Megan, A Walk in the Clouds, and Upload.

Getting Tipsy with... Cardi B, 90's Heartthrobs, and our 30th Episode!

On our 30th episode, we discuss decorating for Halloween and Dami's week of solo parenting before popping over to a new week of What The Fuck Trump News. Epstein survivors rallied in Washington demanding justice as Trump dismissed the case as a “Democrat hoax.” He even had war planes fly over the rally — despite it being a no-fly zone. Plus, new polls show Gavin Newsom would beat Trump by 8 points if an election were to be held today. Over in pop culture, we dive into Cardi B’s court case (and all of the hilarious memes), this seasons stacked Dancing with the Stars cast, and White Lotus heading to France for Season 4. For some good news, we highlight a Florida community project: Mr. Bill and the Children's Table @childrenstablebronsonfl, a robogoat, @fdny honoring late firefighter for his daughter's wedding and some heroic teenagers that saved two dogs from a burning house. And of course, we get into everything we watched: The Bear Season 4, Platonic Season 2, The Summer I Turned Pretty Episode 9 recap, McBee Dynasty finale, Love Life Season 2, and a full lineup of Halloween classics: Hocus Pocus, Casper, The Faculty, Phantom of the Opera, and Halloweentown. Dami recaps Upload Season 4, Cruel Intentions (the movie), and The Idea of You before they both discuss the sad ending to The Map That Leads To You. Shoutout Mr. Fantasy. Dami's sipping on a Cool it coco Margarita while Danielle enjoys a delicious Monterra Merlot. What are you waiting for?

Getting Tipsy with... Protecting Our Children, Independent Women, and Lee Pace

On this episode, since we last cheers'd, Danielle made her way to Oakland for a full day with Dami. The stops included Brazilian food at Paulista Café, a park hang with our four boys that turned into a mini Sandlot game, Soccer Shots in Montclair, and treats from the Starter Bakery stand, Colonial Donuts for the kids and the best cold brew ever. We somehow still had energy left for the Hot Wheels Glow & Fire Monster Truck show. After we recapped our weekend, we jumped into the news portion of the ep and discussed Trump officially removing Kamala’s Secret Service protection, a Social Security whistleblower being fired, the closure of Alligator Alcatraz, and the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting, which leads into our discussion of the right to bear arms and if we need to follow other countries lead on getting rid of that. On the lighter side, we unpack the article “Stop Looking For The Perfect Woman And Become A Better Man” and even Danielle blowing Damiana's mind by sharing the fun fact about Tom Hanks being an Oakland A’s peanut vendor in the 70's. And of course, we end the ep with our TV and movie recaps: Love Island Reunion, Friends With Benefits, Platonic Season 2, Summer I Turned Pretty Episode 8, Love Life, Lisa Frankenstein, Foundation, Peacemaker, Love Is Blind UK, and Freaky Tales. Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.

Getting Tipsy with... Team Conrad, Disney, and Sketchy Ice Cream Trucks

On this hilarious episode, we discuss all the latest Trump News — from Gavin Newsom’s social media manager serving clapbacks in Trump fashion, to lawmakers passing his redistricting plan, the “Election Rigging Response Act” fight, Trump threatening to cancel the 2028 election, and (of course) him wanting to ban mail-in voting even though his administration used it themselves in 2020. We also dive into Target’s CEO stepping down amid boycotts, sketchy late-night ice cream trucks tied to missing kids (straight out of that Charmed episode), the Coldplay CEO blowing $250k on OnlyFans, and the great debate: do you pronounce the L in almond? For good vibes, we’re sipping on sweet stories like Oklahoma teens getting cheered on for kissing their moms goodbye at school and the U.S. murder rate dropping across America. And of course, we have to talk about the episode 7 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, the god-awful series finale of And Just Like That, throwback movies, Dami finally finishing The Hunting Wives, a little Chris Hemsworth, and why Disney decides to kill off parents or separate children from eachother.

Getting Tipsy with... Taylor Swift, Gavin Newsom, and Star Wars

On this non-alc episode, we discuss Gavin Newsom being a badass with his threat to DJT (and now he's out for blood), Oakland's Mayor Barbara Lee and Trump's thread to send the National Guard to Oakland, and the laughable announcement that RFK Jr. wants to run against JD Vance in the 2028 election. We also take a moment to talk about a few hilarious stories from our youth of nudist colonies and waking up on Bart after Lovefest (oh, to be young again). We question whether or not we'd be down to microchip our hand so we can stop lugging keys and wallets around, how AI is successfully designing antibiotics and a shoutout to two amazing young women who did some pretty phenomenal things! We obviously had to chat about Taylor Swift being on the New Heights podcast (clips were everywhere) and Danielle happily sacrificed the 2 hours to watch the ep and has lots to share. Lastly, we discuss all of the things we watched: Something Borrowed, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Platonic Season 2, Summer I Turned Pretty, McBee Dynasty, Surface Season 2, Alias Grace, Gilded Age Finale, and Dami's continued attempt to get through The Hunting Wives.

Getting Tipsy with... Aliens, Adam Sandler, and Breast Milk Ice Cream

On this episode, we dig into Trump cutting $200 million from the Office of Violence Against Women, Republicans openly admitting they’d still back him even if he was implicated in Epstein’s sex crimes, and his quiet removal of parts of the Constitution from Congress’ website. And… is his mental health slipping? Allegedly. We also dive into Breast Milk Ice Cream (yep, that’s going to be a thing) and whether aliens are plotting a hostile takeover this November. Plus, the silver lining from the tragic Parkland shooting and the inspiring story of an autistic man who became Cambridge’s youngest Black professor. Lastly, we cover ALL of the things we watched (there was a lot) -- the new season of Wednesday, the cancellation of And Just Like That, and Happy Gilmore 2 to name a few.

Getting Tipsy with... The Hunting Wives, Trump's Lies, and the World's Richest Women

Trump says he wants to pardon Diddy, we break down five lies he told about inflation, plus the GOP’s new scheme to rig the 2026 election, we chat about the obvious lunatic who runs the White House social media accounts. Real question, do you believe Epstein is alive? We discuss the outrageous bill that could let pesticide companies dodge cancer lawsuits, and before we jump into some lighter news, we review the most INSANE video of the fair ride that splits in half mid-air! We also talk about the world’s richest woman doing something amazing. We break down The Hunting Wives on Netflix, dive into Echo Valley on Apple TV+, revisit Center Stage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and chat about Danielle finally starting Gilded Age. Now that it seems And Just Like That... is getting good, it's been announced that it is coming to an end this season. We also recap The Buccaneers Season 2, Episode 7, Ginny & Georgia, and Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix and The Summer I Turned Pretty. Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.

Getting Tipsy with... South Park, Stephen Colbert, and Buccaneers (Part Deux)

On this episode, we’re recapping the week with the Justice Dept confirming Trump is in the Epstein files, giant anti-Trump billboards lighting up Times Square, the J6 Shaman turning on his daddy, and Trump allegedly helping cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — while threatening every comedian with a mic. Free speech, ever heard of her? In other news, women Uber drivers can finally opt for women-only passengers starting next month, and we dive into bed with Trump and Satan (literally) on the newest episode of South Park. But it’s not all doom and gloom — we’re sippin’ on some good news with Jaden Smith’s “I Love You” restaurant feeding the homeless for free! And of course, we recap everything we watched: Danielle binged all 14 episodes of The Buccaneers so we could fully unpack the insane and shocking Season 2, Ep 6!! It’s another week of hate-watching And Just Like That, Dami catches up on Ginny & Georgia, Danielle rewatches New York Minute (a true Mary Kate & Ashley classic), and Dami surprises with a new fave: Delicious in Dungeon, a fantasy anime on Netflix.

Getting Tipsy with... Ghost Hunting, Buccaneers, and the Coldplay Couple

On this episode, we dive into the absolute chaos surrounding the Epstein files — one moment they “don’t exist,” and the next, Congress is voting on whether to protect their release. We’ve got updates on minors getting taken to Alligator Alcatraz, Trump’s smoking gun birthday letter to Epstein, and the suspiciously timed distractions the administration is rolling out. Then, we get into AI world domination (coming to you in 2037?), the Annabelle doll allegedly taking out its handler, and Jax Taylor "leaving" The Valley — sure, Jan. Plus, the Coldplay affair that's got everyone talking. Lastly, we cover everything we watched this week — the good, the bad, and the truly unhinged.

Getting Tipsy with... Conspiracies, Catastrophes, and The Gilded Age

In this episode, we unpack the mystery of the disappearing Epstein list (that supposedly doesn’t exist… sure, DOJan) and how the case is now closed. We talk about Trump deflecting and his complete absence — along with the National Guard — during the devastating Texas flooding. We shout out the brave people who stepped up to rescue others in the affected areas and cover the heartbreaking updates from Camp Mystic involving the campers and director. Then, we shift to what we have been watching this week: Love Island (including Cierra being sent home and a conversation about casual racism), The Bear, the 90210 (2008) reboot, The Gilded Age, The Buccaneers, and Danielle’s theory — shared by many — that season 3 of And Just Like That… might be written by AI (because how else does the same dad die twice?).
