This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii sits down with Stacy Walker—LA-based choreographer, dancer, and movement artist—for a deep dive into dance, discipline, and surviving Hollywood without becoming too LA. Stacy talks about her podcast Full Out: The Real Travis and Stacy Podcast with legendary director/choreographer Travis Payne, and how the two first met as teenagers before going on to collaborate for decades.They get into first Botox experiences (because why not), how body standards for dancers have evolved over the years, and why today’s dance world is finally making space for all shapes and sizes. Stacy reflects on working at Disney World’s Pleasure Island and how it became her unofficial “dance college,” before landing her first Hollywood job in Michael Jackson’s “Ghosts” music video. From touring with Michael to prosthetic mishaps, the This Is It tour footage that became a documentary, and how music videos are consumed today, Stacy offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at an industry that’s changed dramatically.They also talk long nights on Coyote Ugly, working on Celebrity Skin with Courtney Love, how casting really works at that level, and why work ethic still matters more than anything. It’s an honest, insightful conversation about collaboration, creativity, and staying grounded in an industry that never stops moving.

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii and Chris are back with Coast to Almost and sit down with Dave Peters—aka Pittsburgh Dave—a barber, educator, and community leader who’s using his craft to make real change. A 2022 Indie Stylist of the Year and owner of Steel City Barber Lounge, Dave talks about choosing barbering as a career, why the industry demands constant learning, and how in a space like this you either adapt or get left behind.

Dave dives into the charity work closest to his heart, including partnering with Steelers Cam Heyward and programs like Suit Up for Success, where 31 high school seniors are given suits and guidance on career paths, and Get a Suit, Give a Suit, providing suits, haircuts, and professional headshots. They talk about the importance of putting young men on the right track, leading by example, and the responsibility that comes with being someone people look up to.

Of course, it’s not all serious—there’s talk of tooth pain and dental surgery being the absolute worst, Chris earning his title as the king of snacks, Dave’s beef with barber school versus mentorship, celebrity clients in his chair, and what it’s like attending the world’s largest barber expo. All that and more on this week's episode of the Dammit Danii Podcast!

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii sits down with professor, mythologist, and Rock of Love alum Samantha Weisberg for a conversation that blends academia, magic, and reality TV chaos. They dive into mythology, teaching, and Sammie’s lifelong fascination with ancient stories—how early books like The Witch of the North shaped her imagination, sparked an interest in witchcraft, the Kabbalah, and the deep connections between mythologies across cultures.

Samantha talks about East Coast life, moving to Salem, the power of manifestation, and how studying myth and magic has shaped who she is today. Of course, they go deep into her time on Rock of Love—from the audition process and the intense first day waiting in line watching contestants get cut, to choosing to be herself in front of Bret Michaels instead of playing a character. She opens up about wanting off the show, having most personal belongings taken away, being kept in the house except for dates, and how producers and camera crews prodded, poked, and antagonized situations for drama.

Sammie breaks down the infamous edit that made it look like she was yelling at Lacey, how fights were handled behind the scenes (including Rodeo stepping in), kissing Bret Michaels, and his secret exits from the house. They also talk about life after the show—being photographed in public, feeling constantly on edge, dating post-reality TV, and navigating life once the cameras stopped rolling.

It’s mythology, manifestation, and reality-TV realness all in one episode.

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii sits down with Jay Bradford, assistant to Jessi Draper from Mormon Housewives, and the conversation goes everywhere—in the best way. They swap Black Friday horror stories, chasing shoplifters, and Jay's background in the intense world of cheer before diving into what it’s really like living in Utah and growing up Mormon and gay. Jay opens up about stepping away from the church, mission trips at 18, and growing up around families connected to Three Wives, One Husband and Rockland Ranch.

They get into the behind-the-scenes world of Mormon Housewives, how Jay met Jessi, the infamous Fruity Pebbles scandal, and navigating life after internet chaos. From curating a life on social media to overcoming scandals, working at Dutch Bros while assisting a reality TV star, and adjusting to the culture shock of Los Angeles (including having a dog in the city), Jay shares what it’s like to suddenly gain a following—right down to landing a People Magazine interview.

It’s reality TV tea, real-life growth, and classic Dammit Danii chaos all rolled into one.

This week, Danii sits down with Trisha Rave—host of Tea With Trish and owner of Rave Beauty Bar—for a conversation that’s equal parts real, raw, and surprisingly comforting. They dive into the world of podcasting, from the magic of a great guest to the awkwardness when someone just isn’t clicking. They talk about how podcasting has become the new way people connect, and the responsibility hosts take on when it comes to protecting their guests, shaping the narrative, and deciding what tea is safe for the world… and what tea needs to stay off the record.

Danii opens up about what she misses most about Pennsylvania, while Trish shares stories from her first trip to Louisiana and the massive life shift of going from married to single after decades together. They explore choosing what’s right even when it breaks your heart, knowing you deserve happiness, and stepping boldly into a new era of your life—because sometimes your 30s are when things actually start.

They dig into the beast that is social media, the pressure to compare yourself, and Trish’s experience raising five kids while running a small business. And of course, they talk about healthier ways to cope with life’s chaos that don’t involve smoking or drinking (even when it’s tempting).

It’s honest, empowering, emotional, and full of those “same, girl” moments. A perfect episode to sip with your own cup of tea. Tune in!

This week, Danii sits down with Patience and Luis from the metal band Mortalis, and things get loud real fast. We kick things off with Danii confessing her very real fear of snakes before diving into all the wild injuries you’ll spot at metal shows. Patience talks about making her debut with the band, what it’s like stepping into a new era of Mortalis, and how the group learned to divide the work—performing and handling the behind-the-scenes chaos.

They get into how Mortalis found Patience, the magic of having someone fully focused on lyrics, and their shared dream of a Taco Bell sponsorship (because honestly… who wouldn’t?). We talk staying original instead of being “the next Metallica,” hyping each other up as bandmates, and why it’s crucial to keep growing both musically and professionally.

From business mindset to creative collaboration, this episode hits every note—metal, mayhem, and major motivation. Tune in and rock out with us!

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii kicks off the first episode of her new series “Coast to Almost” with comedian and podcaster Chris Hopper! Things get wild right out of the gate as they relive a show in Altoona where Chris literally jumped out of a cake and stripped for “Momma Sue” alongside local legend Al Tuna 🐟🎂

Chris spills about his trip to Italy — including a surprise run-in with Penguins star Kris Letang — while Danii swears she spotted David Spade, though Chris isn’t convinced. The two dive into their shared love for Grown Ups and classic Adam Sandler movies, the nightmare that is dealing with used car salesmen, and Danii’s airport drama in Dallas. Plus, Chris opens up about his new passion for raised box gardening, and Danii introduces him to the aesthetic chaos that is Grandmacore.

It’s comedy, chaos, and cake — Coast to Almost is off to a ridiculous start.
