News & What We Choose

Getting Chatty with… Mackenzie Shirilla, Anime, and Sydney Sweeney

After we catch up on all the latest goings on in our lives, we dive into the deep end with What The Fuck Trump News, discussing the J6er payouts, the shocking DOJ and IRS agreement regarding family audits, and the erasure of government data. In What We Choose, we’re questioning the sudden MahJong craze, warning you to delete those peace sign photos for your own security, and unpacking the heavy, conflicting rumors surrounding Hayden Panettiere’s book release. We even take a trip to the Conspiracy Corner to discuss those eerie bathroom purgatory dreams we apparently all share and the mysterious mask wearer spotted on Fox News, before cleansing the palate with some Good News about a heroic search and rescue otter. Finally, we wrap up with a massive What We Watched breakdown. Danielle watched A LOT: RHORI, Summer House finale, Southern Hospitality, In The City, Your Friends & Neighbors, the Margo’s Got Money Troubles finale, Veronica Mars rewatch, Off Campus again (with a side of reaction videos), Midnight in Paris, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Match Point, Rumor Has It, Girl Next Door, and both Legally Blondes. She also went down the rabbit hole of Mackenzie Shirilla with The Crash documentary, and her Mean Girl Murders, and Killer Cases episodes. Dami is still at it with Euphoria Season 3 (and she shares her thoughts on Sydney Sweeney), the emotional Margo’s Got Money Troubles finale, and Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen. Plus, we talk Love, Death & Robots, which sparked a full-on anime recommendation session. Which anime should Danielle and Dami be watching?!

Getting Chatty with... Off Campus, Spencer Pratt, and South Korea

In this week’s episode of News & What We Choose, we dissect the unsurprising mystery of the $59 million MAGA phone that never arrived (hello BBB), the President’s commentary regarding the American financial situation, and the controversial mothers.gov [http://mothers.gov] site. We also discuss the major update in the Alex Murdaugh case as his conviction is overturned (I'm sorry, WHAT NOW?!) and questioning the Spencer Pratt L.A. Mayoral race (keep reality stars out of the political office). For "Good News We’re Sippin’," we dive into the wild story of the $4 billion female fugitive (good for her), as well as the innovative eco-friendly ferries in South Korea designed to clean the water mid-commute. Finally, we wrap up with a massive TV rundown of everything we're currently watching: RHORI, Summer House, Southern Hospitality, Euphoria Season 3 (begrudgingly), Your Friends & Neighbors, Veronica Mars, The Mandalorian, Off Campus, The Paper, Daredevil, and The Punisher Special (shout out Punisher: War Zone). Grab a seat, get the news, and come hang with us!

Getting Tipsy with... Fourth Wing, Bravo Corner, and Hantavirus

We’re diving straight into our personal updates, from Danielle’s busy week of regattas, swim lessons, and early Mother’s Day surprises, to Dami’s emotional week involving the loss of her grandmother, a night at a comedy show, a trip to the zoo, and fifteen ingredient tacos. In our "What The Fuck Trump News" segment, we’re looking at the irony of Trump supporting the direct shipment of guns to homes just a week after his alleged assassination attempt. We also dig into Trump and RFK Jr. wanting to put a ban on antidepressants, specifically RFK Jr.’s push to "de-prescribe" psychiatric medications for children. In "What We Choose," we wrap up the Baldoni vs. Lively two-year feud. Plus, we’re talking about the mentally abusive Alpine Divorce increase happening. We then take a visit to Conspiracy Corner to discuss the rumor about a limited amount of oil left in America then shift to the recent buzz surrounding the Hantavirus. To balance out the heavy stuff, our "Good News We’re Sippin’" features Gavin Newsom’s launch of a free diaper program in California! Finally, we’re recapping everything we've been watching and reading. Danielle hits the Bravo Corner with RHORI, Summer House, the Ladies of London finale, and Southern Hospitality. We also discuss Imperfect Women, the latest disturbing episode of Euphoria, Your Friends & Neighbors, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, The Paper, a Veronica Mars rewatch, The Mandalorian, Beef Season 2, and Lords of Dogtown. Lastly, Dami finished A Court of Silver Flames and jumped into Fourth Wing. We then give our two cents on who should be casted in the Fourth Wing series, manifesting Sofia Carson and Lucien Laviscount for the leads!

Getting Tipsy with... Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Area 51 Earthquakes, and Beef Season 2

This week’s episode of the podcast is a wild ride through political scandals and the most unhinged moments on television. We break down the alleged shooting attempt at the correspondents' dinner and how the National Trust rejected Trump's demand for the White House ballroom. We also dive into why the MAGA community is currently feuding with Ben Stiller over a poorly timed tweet. In “What We Choose”, we get into the messy drama of the star of the McBee Dynasty and his abusive text leaks then discuss the heavy news of the Supreme Court gutting voting rights. We also make time for a little "Conspiracy Corner," questioning the 17 earthquakes that hit Area 51 this week. We share some "Good News We’re Sippin’" featuring a 6-year-old’s heartwarming shirt design and a wife living a secret double life—strictly for the sake of her own peace. Finally, we wrap things up with a massive breakdown of what we’ve been watching and reading. We are losing our minds over Beef Season 2—specifically that orange juice scene—and questioning the director’s "sick fantasies" in the new season of Euphoria, including that saran wrap scene. Danielle catches us up on the Bravo-verse with RHORI, Summer House, Ladies of London, and Southern Hospitality, plus Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2, Running Point Season 2, and the both talk about Margo’s Got Money Troubles which leads to the discussion of OnlyFans and s*x workers. We finish it up with Dami's recap of A Court of Silver Flames and Danielle gets down to business with The Trusted Advisor. We also discuss a future rebrand?! What are you waiting for? Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.

We also take a detour into Conspiracy Corner to investigate the mystery of "Tree Gate" before pivoting to some "Good News We’re Sippin’" and a heartwarming silent standing ovation that will absolutely restore your faith in the new generation of kids.
