This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii welcomes Tammie Merheb-Chavez, host of the Hollyweird Paranormal Podcast, for a deep dive into the strange, spooky, and unexplained. From Pennsylvania’s haunted history to ghost hunts in Gettysburg and the infamous Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, Tammie shares her wildest encounters—including hearing phantom children running the halls at 4 a.m. Meanwhile, Danii admits to chickening out on a haunted hotel stay (relatable).

Tammie also talks about her work with the hit show Ghost Adventures, her time exploring Lilydale—the psychic town in New York—along with paranormal “smells” (aka clairolfaction), exorcisms, and how possession really works. They get into Ouija Boards, the legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren, and even Matt Rife buying Annabelle. It’s ghost stories, history, and just the right amount of weird.

This week, Danii kicks off Spooky Season with guest Heather Shields—and things get equal parts creepy and cozy. We talk about how the Dammit Danii Podcast started, finding a studio space (because Danii’s apartment wouldn't cut it), and why neither of us are built for DnD. Heather confesses her new Matcha addiction, getting into NYU but not being able to afford it, and what it’s like to have never seen a winter.

From there, we dive headfirst into the spooky stuff—end of life care, death education, pets and spirituality, lingering spirits, Reiki healing, sound baths, and the wild ride that is hot yoga. We unpack Eugene Thacker’s In The Dust of This Planet, and how horror helps us make sense of big scary themes. Plus, Heather shares her experience auditioning for the new Conjuring: Last Rites film and names her all-time favorite horror movie. A perfect mix of laughs, scares, and spirit talk to kick off October.

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii sits down with Rebecca Sue Watson for a trip through southern culture, blonde hair, white pickups, embroidery, and of course—college football. Roll Tide. They talk about the way people speak in the south, how communication hits different, and why future generations will never understand how cool clubbing used to be. From raising her daughters (affectionately nicknamed Joe Dirt and Joe Pesci), to being Taco Bell Soul Sisters with Danii, Rebecca brings stories that bounce from music tastes and early 2000s nostalgia, to TLC’s chokehold on us all with Honey Boo Boo, Sister Wives, and Toddlers & Tiaras. They swap strip club retirement timelines, golf cart hacks (yes, a quarter will do it), and what it’s like taking her family to Disneyland while raising a child with autism. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a little chaotic. A classic episode of the Dammit Danii Podcast.

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii is joined by none other than Mallory Lewis—and yes, Lamb Chop herself makes an appearance! From sneaking snacks into the Emmy Awards to breaking down her pre-show do’s and don’ts, Mallory shares how to prep for the stage, recover from slip-ups with a smile, and keep the magic alive while carrying on her mother’s legendary Lamb Chop legacy. And yes, Danii finally gets to talk to the childhood idol that lived rent-free in all our heads.

The conversation takes a wild ride through children’s programming (hi, Kermit), politics, and the importance of heroes being on the right side of history. Mallory talks about being all out of ****s to give, why she left the U.S. for Portugal, and the lifestyle changes that come from surrounding yourself with the right people and choosing happiness. It’s nostalgic, hilarious, and inspiring—with a side of ventriloquism you didn’t know you needed.

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii is joined by comedian Learnmore—golden buzzer winner on America’s Got Talent, Steve Harvey Spotlight champ, and Savanna Pan African Award winner. From Zimbabwe to Pittsburgh, Learnmore brings stories, culture shock, and a whole lot of laughs.

We’re talking favorite Starbucks orders (and Learnmore’s discovery of his “inner white woman”), his first Fourth of July party, and the bizarre food spectrum—from eating baboon in Zimbabwe to the grossest thing he’s ever had in America. Danii teaches him the sacred white woman language of chachkies, knick knacks, and labubus, while Learnmore tries to call Terry Crews live on the show. Mix in some true crime talk, a dash of ridiculousness, and you’ve got a classic Dammit Danii ride—equal parts unhinged and unforgettable.

This week, Danii sits down with producer, director, and philanthropist Christian Alan to dive into the wild, unpredictable world of film and TV. Christian shares the story behind his business, Believe You Are The Best Studios, and his passion for creating while juggling marketing work. From a day in the life of Court TV—where making “juicy” stories even juicier is part of the job—to the moment he played a gigolo on Court TV, it’s safe to say Christian’s career path has been anything but ordinary.They talk about his work in film, including a project produced by past guest Becca Brazil, plus what it’s like dabbling in acting, filming in San Francisco, and swapping set stories. Christian also opens up about getting engaged, planning his wedding, and why he thinks the film industry could use more life coaches and therapy for better production environments. Oh—and we get into the important role intimacy coordinators play on set. This one is a peek behind the camera, you won't want to miss.You can follow Christian at the link below!

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii is joined by the multi-talented Shyra—artist, model, and professional dancer—to talk music, movement, and manifesting the life you want. They dive into her new single Fire, her favorite things about L.A., and how working with legends like John Singleton (and soon, Travis Payne ) has shaped her creative journey.Shyra breaks down the music-writing process, getting vulnerable in the studio, and why trusting yourself is part of the gig. Danii brings back the eternal paw-sniffing debate (she will never let this go), and Shyra shares her love of fitness, Coachella stories (Ty Dolla $ign cameos included), and why she ditched the vision board for a vision book. There’s talk of red carpet heel drama, motivational Mondays, and her top 3 fitness tips for anyone looking to level up. It’s inspiring, real, and just the right amount of weird—classic Dammit Danii.Check out Shyra's Music Video Fire:

This week, Danii hops into a funeral limo (yes, not a hearse—we learn the difference) with Adam from Grave Line Tours for a ride through LA’s most haunted, horrifying, and historically cursed corners. Adam dishes on the immersive, true crime meets Los Angeles experience his tour offers.

They dig into the lineup of Grave Line’s most infamous offerings—from the Black Dahlia Tour, which retraces the final haunting steps of Elizabeth Short, to Death Becomes Her, where tragedy lurks in seedy lots, haunted hotels, and Beverly Hills mansions. There’s the Gangster Paradise Tour, packed with twisted LA mafia lore, and the Westside Gory Tour, which maps the disturbing overlap between the Menendez brothers and OJ Simpson.

They also chat about what makes a tour click, what happens when one flops, and how to pivot while staying true to the ethics of storytelling around real crime. The convo spirals into true crime fascination, the ghostly legacy of the Annabelle doll, the cultural trauma of the Manson Family murders, and whether labooboos are this generation’s new pop culture monster, like the Raggedy Ann dolls. Toss in the terror of getting locked in a funeral limo, and you’ve got a conversation that’s spooky, smart, and peak Dammit Danii.

This week, Danii’s back in the Santa Monica studio with special guest Allan Chan from the metal band anathemma—and the mastermind behind the Dammit Danii theme music! They dive into the double life of being a headbanging musician and a teacher, including the awkward/funny chaos of students showing up at your shows and Allan performing in front of his entire school. There’s band origin stories, thrash vs. hardcore talk, and the emotional weight of starting a new project after your first band ends.

They talk about the perfect time slot to hit the stage, insane travel stories, and the fine art of balancing a day job with a dream. Danii momentarily retires her dog paw sniffing campaign to ask the real question—has Allan ever sniffed his parrot Lola’s feet? Oh, and we talk about Allan’s Boot Era after not one, but two gnarly concert injuries (yep, the second fall is on YouTube). It’s metal, weird, and weirdly inspiring—just how we like it.

The Dammit Danii Podcast is back—and what better way to relaunch than with returning guest and chaos connoisseur Shay! Danii and Shay catch up on all things love and wedding bells, including Shay’s recent engagement and the adorable move her fiancé pulled by sneaking Danii into the surprise party. From first-date anxiety spirals to hot takes on how wedding money shouldn’t come with strings attached, it’s a full-on bride-brain deep dive.Shay spills behind-the-scenes bridal shop tea, the girls talk about a dorky Star Wars-themed wedding (yes, there were lightsabers), and they dig into the hard-hitting questions like: What does your choice of dog say about you? Why do we try so hard to impress our partner’s dog? And why the hell does Danii keep sniffing dog paws?! It’s sentimental, a little feral, and very on-brand. Welcome back to Dammit Danii.
