Get ready for another episode packed with updates, wild news, and all our latest watches!

Since we last cheers'd, we catch up on our goings-on over the past week. Their kids are both back in school, but that doesn't mean a lot of fun wasn't had. Danielle and her boys have been baking monster cookies, hosting game nights with Jenga-master Wy, surviving the heat wave with a crafting weekend, and taking their 6th visit to Spirit Halloween—and it's not even September yet! Dami also shares her son surviving a painful splinter that almost sent them to urgent care.

After catching up, we dive into the report that Trump had flags lowered to half-staff for Dolly Parton despite his history of defunding programs she supported. We also unpack all the wild developments in the Lindsay Clancy trial—from freelance writer Brittany Ramano being dropped by Vanity Fair after her controversial courtroom behavior, to defense attorney Kevin Reddington bringing to light that investigators primarily relied on statements from her husband, Patrick. Additionally, we cover the controversy surrounding the Callaway DV commercial and Costco pulling their products, an evil Cat in the Hat terrorizing Ireland, and the heavy news of the passings of iconic stars Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

Finally, for what we watched: Danielle continued her Vampire Diaries rewatch alongside spooky movie night picks like Goosebumps, The Descendants, and Zombies, as well as cautiously introducing her boys to Are You Afraid of the Dark? Dami has been tuning into Lanterns, checking out the first episode of My Brilliant Career on Netflix, enjoying Ted Lasso, finishing Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, and starting All That Life Can Afford by Emily Everett.
