    Getting Tipsy with... Frankenstein, Same-Sex Marriage, and Men

    On this episode, we discuss Danielle hitting a Gilmore Girls pop-up and Christmas shopping while Dami did family photos in Bodega Bay, Sunday coffee at Ain’t Normal Café and prepping for their Disneyland trip this weekend! We also get into marriage rates dropping (only 32% married by 30), Jon Stewart calling out Dems for folding with the Government Shutdown, the Supreme Court not touching same-sex marriage (eff you Kim Davis), that wild NYT “Did women ruin the workplace?” headline, and Walmart’s pro-nazi merch mess. Finally, What We Watched: from Frankenstein and Materialists to A Discovery of Witches, The Chair Company, and wrapping up our Fifty Shades rewatch. We also talk about It: Welcome to Derry, Alien Earth, Stranger Things, Gilmore Girls, and Halloween H20 (yes, after the season has passed, oops). Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us!

  2. Getting Tipsy with... Fifty Shades of Grey, Cancelled Flights, Erika Kirk and JD Vance

    8 NOV.

    Getting Tipsy with... Fifty Shades of Grey, Cancelled Flights, Erika Kirk and JD Vance

    On this episode, we discuss everything from the Halloween haps to the ongoing government shutdown chaos. After weekend recaps, we jump into What The Fuck Trump News. The Supreme Court temporarily halts the order requiring Trump to fully fund SNAP, delaying $4 billion in aid as the government shutdown grounds over a thousand flights. We also break down Trump’s 60 Minutes interview, Venezuela, and the headline-grabbing Halloween costumes. We dive into Prop 50’s passing, Trump’s “shadow president” Russ Vought, and the Millie Bobby Brown allegations against David Harbour leading into What We Watched, Danielle un-paused her Stranger Things rewatch, put a pin in Vampire Diaries to shift over to Gilmore Girls, and we had to talk about ep 2 of It: Welcome to Derry. Dami finished Nobody Wants This, watched Weapons, Love Is Blind Reunion, The Pitt, Runaway Bride, Only Murders, and things get spicy with Fifty Shades of Grey.

  3. Getting Tipsy with... Halloween, SNAP Benefits, David Harbour and Lily Allen

    30 OCT.

    Getting Tipsy with... Halloween, SNAP Benefits, David Harbour and Lily Allen

    On this Halloween-themed episode, we discuss the latest chaos in What The Fuck Trump News — from the mysterious bunker under the now-demolished east wing of the White House and Trump’s wild declaration that he doesn’t need Congress anymore, to him blaming Democrats for canceling SNAP benefits. In other news, we get into David Harbour and Lily Allen’s savage breakup timing (right before the Stranger Things press tour!) and her epic new album that puts Taylor Swift's lyrics to shame (butt plugs, lube, trojans, oh my!), and the house-cleaning robot that might just be our new best friend (or potential enemy). We’re also sippin’ on some good news with the Portland coffee shop raising over $86k to support folks losing SNAP benefits, and a Phoenix principal paying for students’ lunches out of his own pocket. Faith in humanity: partially restored (now, if only the administration could follow suit). And of course, we wrap up with What We Watched: Vampire Diaries, the premiere episode of It: Welcome to Derry, Alien Earth, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Nobody Wants This. Halloween vibes, political nightmares, and a few acts of kindness — it’s all in this week’s episode so Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us!

  4. Getting Tipsy with... the Louvre Heist, Demolishing the White House, and Kenny Loggins

    25 OCT.

    Getting Tipsy with... the Louvre Heist, Demolishing the White House, and Kenny Loggins

    On this episode, we discuss Trump’s latest fuckery from demolishing the East Wing of the White House to make space for his gold ballroom to calling off the federal deployment to San Francisco. Plus, Kenny Loggins is suing Trump for $900 million over the unauthorized use of his song in his post No Kings Day AI video. We also touch on the U.S. striking so-called “drug boats” in Latin America and the mysterious (and slightly hilarious) €88 million jewel heist at the Louvre. And in What We Watched, Danielle has paused her Stranger Things rewatch, restarted Vampire Diaries, and a dash of Christmas in spooky season with three rewatches of The Grinch. Danielle also touches on the latest Nobody Wants This season (spoiler alert... it's phenomenal!). Then Dami talks about the last ep of Love Is Blind then achieves her goal of finishing up forgotten shows: Peacemaker, Victoria Beckham, Foundation, Alien Earth, and continues along with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

  5. Getting Tipsy with... Tarot Card Readings, No Kings Day #2, and Love is Blind

    18 OCT.

    Getting Tipsy with... Tarot Card Readings, No Kings Day #2, and Love is Blind

    On this week’s episode, we discuss everything from witchy nights to government chaos. Since we last cheers’d, Danielle recaps visiting Apple Hill, hosting a pumpkin painting party, and spending a magical evening of spells and card readings — which leads right into a virtual Tarot reading for Dami. In What The Fuck Trump News: the government shutdown drags on, No Kings Day #2 expected to draw an even bigger crowd, Trump tries to reel people in with Ozempic, and California’s very own Daddy Newsom announces $11 insulin for all starting January. Meanwhile, JD Vance excuses horrific Republican group leaked messages, and we talk about ICE’s horrifying behavior. In Other News: the First Amendment is literally packing up and leaving the Pentagon. But in Good News We’re Sippin’, one man thrifts all year to give kids free Halloween costumes, and a group of South Bay teens turn coffee waste into garden gold. Lastly, Danielle is in the middle of a Stranger Things rewatch but, at the demand of Dami, also attempted to give Persuasion a try (hard pass) and rounds out spooky season with Urban Legend, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Craft. Dami deep dives into Love Is Blind and The Pitt. Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang out with us!

  6. Getting Tipsy with... KPop Demon Hunters, Mr. Beast, Drake and Kendrick Lamar

    11 OCT.

    Getting Tipsy with... KPop Demon Hunters, Mr. Beast, Drake and Kendrick Lamar

    On this episode, The Dude (Dami) and Danielle discuss the news that the hostages are finally going to get released this weekend?! Let's hope this is true!! Plus, the government is still shut down but that doesn't stop Trump from accidentally posting a personal message meant for Pam Bondi on Truth Social. In pop culture, Drake’s defamation case over Kendrick’s diss track gets tossed, Chicago restaurants take a stand against ICE, and a judge’s home "mysteriously" burns down after ruling against Trump. But it’s not all chaos — we’ve got some good news: Buccaneers is coming back for Season 3 (thank god!), a school is replacing detention with hikes (other schools should take note), and 34 million pounds of ocean waste have been cleared... but where does it go? For what we watched this week, Danielle dove into 30 Days of Night, 27 Dresses, Bride Wars, Daybreakers, is in the midst of a Stranger Things rewatch, and also getting past the first few eps of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Meanwhile, Dami tuned into The Pitt, Love Is Blind, and Only Murders in the Building. Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.

  7. Getting Tipsy with... the Government Shutdown, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, and the 49ers

    4 OCT.

    Getting Tipsy with... the Government Shutdown, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, and the 49ers

    On this episode, we discuss the last two weeks of life, chaos, and headlines. Danielle’s been in full creative mode with painting, arts and crafts, and cozy movie nights with the boys. Meanwhile, Dami made her way to Santa Fe for the Skyway train, a Chile & Wine Festival, and Meow Wolf—all while being sick. We dive into Trump's war on Tylenol, Charlie Kirk’s N*zi-adjacent memorial, and Trump threatening to weaponize a government shutdown to target Democratic states. Jimmy Kimmel returns from his “indefinite” suspension with record-breaking numbers and Gavin Newsom as his first guest, Elon Musk’s father faces disturbing accusations, 1,200 detainees missing from Alligator Auschwitz, Diddy sentenced to only 4 years in prison, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban calling it quits after 19 years of marriage. On our sports corner, Danielle raves about the epic 49ers game and Mac Jones filling in for Brock Purdy. WHAT. A. GAME! We wrap the episode with everything we've been watching: Platonic Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist Practical MagicReady or NotUptown Girls Never Been Kissed The Morning ShowUpload Big Bang Theory Halloween EpisodesFright Night The Carrie DiariesAmerican Horror Story: Coven Only Murders in the building Aliens EarthHouse of Guinness With Love MeghanHaunted Hotel Peacemaker Wednesday The Great British Bake OffThe Pitt Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.

  8. Getting Tipsy with... Jimmy Kimmel, Josh Hartnett, and The Summer I Turned Pretty Finale

    20 SEPT.

    Getting Tipsy with... Jimmy Kimmel, Josh Hartnett, and The Summer I Turned Pretty Finale

    On this episode, we discuss the death of freedom of speech and Trump celebrating Jimmy Kimmel’s show being shut down indefinitely. Which then leads over to a chilling new bill that could block U.S. citizens from getting or renewing a passport if they participate in negative political speech, and Trump’s “can’t be mean to me” proclamation. In other news, JD Vance fills in for Charlie Kirk on his podcast, and October 14th is being pushed as “Charlie Kirk Day” — which also happens to fall on George Floyd’s birthday. And of course, we chat about all of things we watched this week: Platonic, The Summer I Turned Pretty finale, The Girlfriend, Trap, Gone Girl, Nobody Wants This, Before We Go, Friendship, A Family Affair, and a nostalgic rewatch of Whatever It Takes (which opens the floodgate of all of those early 2000's gems).
