Getting Tipsy with... Protecting Our Children, Independent Women, and Lee Pace

On this episode, since we last cheers'd, Danielle made her way to Oakland for a full day with Dami. The stops included Brazilian food at Paulista Café, a park hang with our four boys that turned into a mini Sandlot game, Soccer Shots in Montclair, and treats from the Starter Bakery stand, Colonial Donuts for the kids and the best cold brew ever. We somehow still had energy left for the Hot Wheels Glow & Fire Monster Truck show. After we recapped our weekend, we jumped into the news portion of the ep and discussed Trump officially removing Kamala’s Secret Service protection, a Social Security whistleblower being fired, the closure of Alligator Alcatraz, and the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting, which leads into our discussion of the right to bear arms and if we need to follow other countries lead on getting rid of that. On the lighter side, we unpack the article “Stop Looking For The Perfect Woman And Become A Better Man” and even Danielle blowing Damiana's mind by sharing the fun fact about Tom Hanks being an Oakland A’s peanut vendor in the 70's. And of course, we end the ep with our TV and movie recaps: Love Island Reunion, Friends With Benefits, Platonic Season 2, Summer I Turned Pretty Episode 8, Love Life, Lisa Frankenstein, Foundation, Peacemaker, Love Is Blind UK, and Freaky Tales. Grab a drink, get the news, and come hang with us.LINKS TO THE THINGS: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN8BXtgjWMt/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/DN8JO6fjmcR/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/politics/social-security-whistleblower-resigns-involuntarily https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/us/alligator-alcatraz-shutdown-florida-financial-loss https://www.instagram.com/p/DN3b3QDXDB0/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/DN36kJiCdS9/?img_index=3&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/p/DN1VfM1UtYj/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.positive.news/society/good-news-stories-from-week-35-of-2025/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNyNfFI0MeC/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDDqpCtJP8
