S2E11 - The Magnificent Archibalds17 Nov 202502:03:54

Order up those diner french fries cuz it's another Upper East Side Thanksgiving, y'all! Dinner will be served at... 4am because we have a LOT of things to cover before we can even start fryin' the bird! If you have notes on Blair's pie recipe, you can keep that to yourself because she is not here for your little games. Speaking of games, will Serena WIN the "prize" that is Aaron Rose, beloved IKEA artist extraordinaire? Somebody get out the van der Woodsen dossiers and tell Bart what the hell is going on here. It's THANKSGIVING!

It is the 20th anniversary of Bass Industries. Time sure does fly when you are an evil billionaire and abysmal father! It's Blair's birthday and she's about to meet her mom's new boyfriend. Let's hope he's going to be the present she is hoping for, but we won't hold our breath. Meanwhile, Serena is on the world's worst scavenger hunt, while Dan is suddenly a noted New York journalist.

Blair and Jenny's final battle is here, Upper East Siders, and it's a problematic doozy!

S1E15 - Desperately Seeking Serena12 Sep 202301:18:22

It's SAT time for our favorite private school crew! While Dan chooses to read every SAT prep book known to man, Blair copes with her stress by leaning on her 'ol bullying ways. Serena wants to do well, but with Georgina in town we're not so sure how that's gonna work out for our favorite bad girl gone good. Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Jenny continues to be the worst person on the planet, but at least she likes hot dogs. Other noteworthy things: a hot new couple (according to Talea) and an important life lesson that nothing good ever comes from attending a Flo Rida concert.

Put on those boots with the fur, Upper East Siders! We are desperately waiting for you to listen to this one.

Team Blair or Team Jenny? You've gotta decide, Upper East Siders! Mark the date and time because Jenny has pushed our buttons so much in this episode that we may, for the very first time, empathize with Rufus' POV. Shocking, we know...

S1E13 - The Thin Line Between Chuck & Nate19 Jul 202301:20:06

Rumors are lighting up the hallways of our favorite private school for girls and (gasp!) a few of our favorite friendships may not survive it. What does survive is decades-long misogyny and slut-shaming! Gen Z — you can bring back the 00s style, but we beg of you to let this part stay in the archives.

If we were you, our first response would be to listen to this episode on a lovely, clear blue day! #IYKYK

It's the van der Woodsen-Bass family shindig in which they will be debuting as a "close family" to the outside world. However, we know that inside, things are... a little complicated to say the least. Bring your warm, fuzzy family memories and PLEASE don't forget your underwear!

What person, real or imagined, living or dead, would you most like to have dinner with? We'll wait. In the meantime, let's take the Amtrak down to ol' New Haven, Connecticut with our prep school pals. Unfortunately, the S & B beef crosses state lines at a very inconvenient time. Nate predictably scopes out the women of Yale, while Chuck scopes out the weird children of the corn (finance bro sons) of Yale. Dan is as neurotic and unprepared as ever. Will our Constance-St. Jude's kids really WOW the dean during this trip? We don't know. You'll have to ask Shirley, the cat queen.

As the great David Bowie once sang: "Fashion! Turn to the left. Fashion! Turn to the right." It's fashion week in New York City, baby! Blair's got a big job to do backstage at the Eleanor Waldorf show while Serena bucks tradition for her moment on the catwalk of all places. We have a new, hot designer on the prowl and it's our very own Little J. The unlikely pairing of Dan and Chuck are hanging out like multiple times? Also, Lily has a thing for rat paintings. Hurry up and press play on this episode before it's deemed so last season.

Dan and Serena are moving towards an amicable friend zone, but that doesn't stop them from staring at each other while in the arms of another on the dance floor. In other dance floor news: Samantha.

In just one episode, this lady's actions got the Constance-St. Jude's Parent Council schlepping to the school on a Saturday (think about the cancelled dinner reservations, says Lily), Handsome Dan being sent away to the French countryside to be raised by that homewrecker Roman, and cell phones banned on campus. Can you believe this?! We sure can't. Text us on our contraband flip phone 'cuz we gotta take this lady down ASAP.

Join our friends as they anxiously await to hear who is in and who is out. Eh, who are we kidding? Only Dan and Blair are anxious about getting in. Serena is anxious about making a decision about anything at every turn of her life. Unfortunately, she has a new favorite teacher who, for some reason, started at Constance halfway through the school year? Spoiler alert: We (Talea and Maria) hate this lady. In other news, Chuck and Lily finally team up to defeat that pest from Australia, Uncle Jack.

And, finally, we present to you a word without context: LUFUS. Now, if you'll excuse us, we would like to get back to reading our favorite book, Opera for Dummies

It's time for the reading of Bart's will, Upper East Siders! Are you in, or are you sending your legal representation in your place? Chuck's a little more himself in this episode, but the bar is in hell on this, so take that with a grain of salt. Uncle Jack is ELATED that his brother is dead so he can move away from Down Under and make Manhattan his new home. Jack is so devious that he will even use Blair's love for Chuck against her and make her a pawn in his sick game!

Dan continues to avoid Serena so he doesn't end up telling her that they share a sibling, which is proving to be tough on their new relationship. Meanwhile, Eric has a boyfriend and Jenny third wheels constantly, much to Eric's chagrin. In Boston, Rufus continues to beat down the door of every adoption agency to find his 19-year-old son, whose adoption was closed. And at brunch, we ask the age-old question: Can you reserve eclairs??

["Amazing Grace" tune] "Chuck once was lost, but now he's found". Chuck may be found, but he's as lost as ever. He's unable to walk 95% of the time, he's doing drugs on school property, his Uncle Jack is here, AND when he can walk, it's happening on the side of a rooftop. It's bad news bears for our grieving boy billionaire, Upper East Siders.

Meanwhile, Dan & Serena are back together... again, while Aaron is crying on a beach somewhere in Buenos Aires with a cease and desist from Ikea in hand and no high school girlfriend. Blair is trying to replace her out-of-control minions with the Colonizer Club, while Jenny is trying to save Nelly Yuki from death by minions. And now a word from our "sponsor", Pinkberry!

Bart has died. *starts playing "Taps"* 

However, those billions o' bucks are still alive and they're paying for Andrew Tyler's retainer and comfort food (NOT tuna towers) for hundreds of his closest friends. Lily really should send a thank-you letter to the editor, but she won't. She's too busy slapping her dead husband's son as he struggles with the loss of a parent again.

Please join us as we try to understand why Serena is the A-story in an episode about Chuck and his grief. Thank god for Blair and Nate.

Clear your calendars, Upper East Siders. We're heading to the theater! We have front row seats to the calamity that is the students of Constance Billard-St. Jude's ruining up-and-coming director, Julian's, vision of "The Age of Innocence". This would have never happened with Mary Jane Watson at the helm. Meanwhile, Ms. Carr continues to infuriate us, Rufus, and NOW even Dan. Some good news: we are pretty sure Vanessa's documentary about this hilarious process will get her into Cannes. Let's see if she can get tickets for us and a few of our closest friends (aka y'all).

S2E19 - The Grandfather13 May 202601:50:16

Blair's crashout is still underway, Upper East Siders. It's very entertaining to watch our very own B shed her uptight skin just a little bit, but it begs the question, Where the heck is her mother?

In other news, the van der Bilt's family reunion weekend is happening and Nate is convinced by Vanessa, Dan, and his cousin, Tripp, to attend. Grandfather finally has Nate back in his manipulative little paws again and tries to all of a sudden pretend like he is proud of him and didn't just spend half the year allowing him to live in a home without electricity and heat. SMDH. Now we pose the question: Would you choose Pierogi Tour 2009 or an internship at the NYC mayor's office? Seriously, please answer this. Nate can't make any decisions. 

In even MORE important news, Lily has slept with both Trent Reznor and Slash. Also, MAUREEN is here. Legendary all around.

You are cordially invited to Jenny's Super Sweet 16 Party! Wait, this is a birthday? We had no idea because Serena didn't tell us. Serena is trying to get herself back on the map by throwing a party for Jenny, as she's been too busy being a teenager (the horror!) while Poppy Lifton has been climbing the social ladder that S left behind. Meanwhile, there's trouble in paradise for Nate and Vanessa (RIP), much to Blair's excitement. As they say in 2009, you know how that ended up for 'ol Brad and Jennifer. Good luck, V! Long live Angelina (all according to Blair). Get out those board games and a bowl of Rufus' chili slop, Upper East Siders! This one is bound to be a rager.

S2E22 - Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes17 Jul 202602:12:12

Gabriel and Poppy are BACK on the Upper East Side to shake things up by taking advantage of a pathetic middle-aged former rockstar and a beautiful teenager who is not exactly known for her common sense skills. You know who does have common sense? Queen B! She's onto that shady southerner Gabriel and is on a mission to FIND HIS SECRETS. Dan's writing mentor would be so proud of her. In less important news, Nate and Chuck try to claim their territory with Blair (gross), Dan ain't gettin' into Yale (sad), and Georgina returns (ominous). And what the hell is butter, anyway?!

S2E21 - Seder Anything23 Jun 202601:37:00

Baruch Atah Ay Dios Mio! This episode is absolutely hilarious—we swear it! Serena is back from Espana, now a married teenager to a man who is at least 30 years old. Blair has, for some reason, given up on college altogether and her aspirations have pivoted to that of a junior committee member and a bridesmaid? Dan is a cater-waiter (and not a very good one). Nate is beefing (again) with the van der Bilt family. Jenny is beefing with Chuck (100% makes sense). Perhaps the rain in Spain does indeed stay mainly on the plain. Uncork the Rioja, Upper East Siders! It's time we take a siesta.

S2E23 - The Wrath of Con31 Jul 202602:12:10

Samantha James once said: "Forgiveness is more than saying sorry." Georgina, are you listening, girl? 'Cuz Samantha is right!!

G is back, and she is on an apology tour sponsored by Jesus. Blair won't accept her apologies, but she WILL accept her help in revenge conning that raggedy ol' Poppy and her geriatric-looking boyfriend! The Non-Judging Breakfast Club™ is back together and my god does it feel so good. Serena and Lily are at odds about how to deal with the Satellites O'er Africa scandal, and we know from history that this may not turn out very well...

In other news, Rufus plans to pop the question. Will Lily say yes a 5th time? Eh, who are we kidding. We don't really care.

S2E24 - Valley Girls18 Aug 202601:19:48

Put that Porsche top down, cuz we are cruising down a Malibu highway! It's 1983, y'all. For some reason, the penultimate episode of season 2 is primarily dedicated to finding out why Lily is the way she is. And, you guessed it, it's because she had shitty parents and no sense of stability in her formative years! Join us as we fully immerse ourselves in a cartoon version of the 80s and help us mourn the spinoff that never was. 

In the present: prison, prom, and princesses - oh my! Will S get out of jail? Will B be Prom Queen? Will C make us cry with his (gasp) generosity and support? You'll just have to hit play to get answers to these pressing questions. 

Editor's Note: We had some recording technical difficulties, but it didn't last very long. Sorry about that, Upper East Siders!

S2E25 - The Goodbye Gossip Girl28 Aug 202601:51:20

Vitamin C tried her darndest, but she could never have prepared us for THIS graduation. It's time we bid adieu to the Constance Billard-St. Jude Class of 2009. Serena declares war on Gossip Girl after she gifts all of our pals with superlatives that really weren't that bad? We're still confused as to why this, of all acts, is what sends Serena over the edge. 

Meanwhile, Chuck continues to run away from Blair's loving embrace. Our girl is tough, but how much more can she really take of this torture?! We know our hearts simply cannot do this much longer. In other news, Nate is just kind of there, but he is hot and Dan misses high school (allegedly). Go chill that bottle of Dom, Upper East Siders. '09 SO FINE forever, bayBEE!!!
