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.

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. Grab a drink and tune in!

Grab a seat, get the news, and come hang with us! Danielle and Dami recap their joint camping trip and Danielle shares the details of her PNW road trip for her boys' birthday, Dami was also prepping to head to Vegas with her family this weekend.

We also dive into the devastatingly sad Nolan Wells 4th of July news and ongoing investigation. We chat about that viral Mitch McConnell photo. 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!). Meanwhile, Dami shares her thoughts on Widow’s Bay on Apple TV, Voicemails for Isabelle on Netflix, and how she is still trucking along watching Euphoria on HBO before sharing her review on Project Hail Mary!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️ We are back with a brand-new short episode. We dive into the non-existent turnout at the Trump State Fair, the Supreme Court denying Trump's appeal and forcing the $5 million payment to E. Jean Carroll, shocking bragging of potential N*zi paraphernalia at the White House, and a major, celebratory win for birthright citizenship.

We shift gears to what we've been watching the last week. Danielle breaks down the latest McBee Dynasty episode and Steve Jr.'s wild requirements, the peak drama of Love Island Movie Night, and episode 2 of House of the Dragon Season 3. She's also serving up pure summer nostalgia with throwbacks themed to Dami and Danielle's upcoming camping weekend: The Sandlot, Camp Nowhere, and The Great Outdoors. Meanwhile, Dami wrapped up Four Seasons on Netflix, Widows Bay on Apple TV+, and almost finished the last episode of Off Campus.

Head over to our Instagram and tell us what we need to be watching!

Finally, we recap two massive, highly anticipated releases: the House of the Dragon Season 3 premiere and Toy Story 5, which doubled as a major milestone for Dami’s boys’ very first movie theater experience!

Want to know a secret? Or just more about us? 🤫 In this episode, we’re putting the news aside for the week and doing a deep dive into our wildest stories, unfiltered history, and a few things you definitely don't know about us yet. Plus, we’re wrapping it all up by pulling a couple of tarot cards to see exactly what this summer has in store.

Grab a seat, get the news, and come hang with us as we catch up on everything since we last cheers’d. This week, Danielle shares her ultimate reset and her first experience with cupping therapy, while Dami fills us in on his new life as a suburban farmer.

We’re diving deep into the headlines with some "What The Fuck Trump News," covering the years-long timeline needed to replenish US weapon stockpiles and Newsom’s move to tax 100% any money taken from the J6 slush fund. In "What We Choose," we discuss the three-year prison sentence for Matthew Perry’s assistant (seems light), followed by a trip to "Conspiracy Corner" to investigate the viral theory that Guy Fieri never actually swallows the food he tastes.

For a bit of good news, we’re sippin’ on the recent cloning of wild yaks in China, which sparks a debate on whether we should finally bring back the dinosaurs.

To wrap things up, we break down everything we’ve been watching lately. Danielle takes us to the Bravo Corner to vent about Amanda’s lack of an apology in the Summer House reunion part one, the Southern Hospitality finale, and In the City, Love Thy Nader, and why she couldn’t even finish the first episode of the "overproduced garbage" that was Calabasas Confidential. They both discuss Your Friends & Neighbors before recapping everything Dami watched: Eat Pray Love, Love Death + Robots, the season two premiere of Four Seasons, and the intense series finale of The Boys. She also shares why she couldn't get into The Crash.
