Getting Chatty with... Off Campus, McBee Dynasty, and Trump

🎙️ 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!

Getting Chatty with... Love Island, House of the Dragon, and Off Campus (again)

Grab a seat, get the news, and come hang with us! In this episode of News & What We Choose, we are catching up on everything from movie and swim playdates to Dami’s massive travels through London, Dublin, and India. We’re also diving into an all-news rapid-fire roundup covering the latest wild headlines from the White House lawn (UFC & reflecting pool drama), Jeff Bezos' data center water statement, the Texas Bible mandated curriculum, and those viral social media moments from Jenny Mollen, Emrata, and JD Vance that you simply cannot unsee. But let’s be real, we have a lot to catch-up on since it's been a month. Our collective watch list is completely packed. We finally wrap-up Summer House, dive into McBee Dynasty, Ponies, and unpack the season 2 finale of Your Friends & Neighbors. We also break down Every Year After, season 2 of Four Seasons, One Piece, Widows Bay, Dami's first venture into Off Campus, and Wuthering Heights. Plus, we're talking Love Island, and the need to fast-forward through those gnarly challenges. We wrap up our screen time with the binge-worthy Not Suitable For Work, the heartbreaking rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle, Dami's SHOCKING first time watching The Bodyguard, and Tom Holland’s guest spot on The Good Hang. 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! Hit play and come hang with us while we recap it all.

Getting Chatty with… The Boys, Love Thy Nader, and Guy Fieri

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.
