Getting Tipsy with... Jimmy Kimmel, Josh Hartnett, and The Summer I Turned Pretty Finale 20.09.2025

In other news, JD Vance fills in for Charlie Kirk on his po...

On our 30th episode, we discuss decorating for Halloween and Dami's week of solo parenting before popping over to a new week of What The Fuck Trump News.

On this episode, we’re recapping the week with the Justice Dept confirming Trump is in the Epstein files, giant anti-Trump billboards lighting up Times Square, the J6 Shaman turning on his daddy, and Trump allegedly helping cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — while threatening every comedian with a mic.

Getting Tipsy with... Ghost Hunting, Buccaneers, and the Coldplay Couple 19.07.2025

We’ve got updates on minors getting taken to Alligator Alcatraz , Trump’s smoking gun birthday letter to Epstein, and the suspiciously timed distractions the administration is rolling out. Then, we get into AI world do...

Getting Tipsy with... Conspiracies, Catastrophes, and The Gilded Age 10.07.2025

In this episode, we unpack the mystery of the disappearing Epstein list (that supposedly doesn’t exist… sure, DOJan) and how the case is now closed.
