Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylrrmckmeredith) are bringing this exclusive holiday ep to the main feed—because it’s just too unhinged not to share! Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be trapped in a castle, but maybe kind of in love, accompanied by an evil organ played by Tim Curry, all whilst set against the backdrop of Christmas?! Then this straight to VHS classic is just for you! There’s nothing more that we love during the holidays than inanimate objects decking the halls, singing some songs that no one has heard of and Bernadette Peters being tasked to rule over them as the c*nty interior decorator tree topper.

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 22|| JENNICE THE MENACE Sep 28, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) finish out Season 3 of Gossip Girl with a bang! Truly this ep might be one of the greatest season finales of all time-move over Sopranos, these upper east side monsters are setting the bar HIGH! We’ve got cheating, we’ve got bebes being born, we’ve got every other character telling Jenny that she’s a nasty biotch and most importantly we get a betrayal of BLAIR AND CHUCK sized proportions. Serena touts a fedora she surely took from the one and only Jason Mraz and Georgina damn Sparks is back and the secret she reveals will shake y’all to your core. It’s all giving film noir, meet me at the top of the Empire State Building or I’ll f*ck off forever vibes! XOXO H & T

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) re-release one of our all time fave eps!|| They have LOTS to discuss of the pre-show kiki this week: from Celine Dion being a Muppet, the Duke leaving Bridgerton, to how we will never as cool as Billie Eilish and GG reboot looks--WE HAVE THOUGHTS. This week on the GG, we happily return to the halls of Constance. Not only are we slain by the return to school fashions--we meet AMANDA AKA LAURA-LEIGH from Vanderpump Rules and we are truly shook. We are also truly over this narrative of Serena and Dan trying to be friends, and she has no one to blame but herself for inviting him on a freaking 3 way date with Amanda?!--stop trying to make fetch happen y'all. Chuck is still lurking in the background like a Disney villain and or Sir Hiss from Robin Hood. Vanessa catches the Duchess in a seriously compromising position and her refusal to let B. Waldorf HANDLE IT ON HER OWN fills us with rage. And in a plot twist to all of us, we were into Serena's power mood during this episode! But DON'T YOU DARE THINK YOU CAN

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 21|| Caught between a Jenny and a hard place Sep 14, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are back babyyyy! We are chatting all things Vegas as Hannah recaps her most recent trip and Tyler pitches her theories about the GG OG REBOOT possibilities. But no time should be wasted (even though literally we kiki-ed for 20 minutes) as we dive in to a truly canon GG ep. This is OG GOSSIP GIRL at its finest people!—schemes, limos, FEDORAS—it truly has it all! And after sitting through several insufferable episodes of Serena gaslighting Fufus, daddy VDW finally gets run out of town. And now we are left wondering if this scheme had done enough to bring our favorite star crossed lovers, Blair and Chuck, back together again at the top of the Empire State Building. Will Chuck f*ck off forever?! Only the GG hands of time will tell! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 20|| don’t F*CK WITH FUFUS! Sep 07, 2023

This week hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) celebrate saying goodbye to the fickle mistress that is summer and hello to our fall candles! This ep sent us (namely Tyler) into a frenzy of hatred for S and her antics—we truly hated her more than in any other episode, except for when she tried to steal Yale from Blair! Daddy VDW has fully usurped fufus’ throne with the assistance of S but Chuck and Little J are maybe on to his scam?! Vanessa is taking an internship and Blair is going to COLUMBIA! Can’t wait to see this Baldwin get taken down. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 19|| oh you would B*TCH! Aug 31, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) share their TT finds, more classical music chats aka fantasia and the scary dinos, play when you know the words to the song and explain why wii avatars didn’t have joints. In GG LAND, little j is trying to cosplay S, Billie Baldwin steps in as daddy VDW and sounds like tr*mp —facts are facts. Meanwhile, Dan got rejected from the tisch dramatic writing program, yet still no one cares? But even we can admit, he does look yoked. Also, no one shows up to Blair’s bachelor brunch because Chuck has put a dating fatwa on her and Nate and s fight tell little j to TAKE A SEAT! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP 18|| HOW LONG DID YOU KNOW MY DADDY WAS IN PALM BEACH Aug 24, 2023

Also on the subject of B—what is Blair’s room where is her room WHO LIVES WHERE. Nate’s eyebrows looked amazing and tbh their relationship is built on lies and Carter baizen. AND YES WE KNOW THEY ARE PLANTING SEEDS ABOUT B AND HUMPHREY AND WE AREN’T HAPPY ABOUT IT. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 17|| inglorious basterds-the horrors persist but so do we Aug 17, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) start off with an unhinged intro to set us up for this damn unhinged ep! We chat RHONY aka our love for Jenna Lyons and Hannah’s run in with Schwartz but ON TO POSSIBLY MOST CHAOTIC ep of all time. Dans trying to write, he and Vanessa are both applying for the same writing program and we still don’t care. But the girl of the ep is the game of assassin that S planned for Nate’s bday which has little J TRYING IT with Serena’s man. And on the other side of the UES, everyone’s pushing Blair to buy a hideous free people adjacent dress and somehow she ends up being the only pawn that can check mate Chuck’s hotel from Jack. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 16|| Human House of Cards aka our eras era Aug 10, 2023

Back in the land of GG we are forced to witness EMPIRE STRIKES JACK—too much Jack and his mustache for our taste honestly. Chuck puts his theatre acting skills to the damn test this week as his mother? not mother? Elizabeth ruins his life at the hands of his dumb uncle Jack. And in the chaotic evil we never requested, Agnes is back to ruin Little J’s life in some very dark turn of events. Nate saves the day, Serena is still terrible at scheming and Blair has no friends—but might transfer to Columbia UNVERSITY?! t b d. XOXO H &T

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are lit UP this week and diving back into all things GG. Do we begin by going down a long winding road of reality TV? Like DUH. But more importantly sh*t is popping off on the UES—little J trying to lose her v card with waffles? Not if SERENA VDUBS has anything to say about it! Nate gets punched out?! Say it ain’t so y’all! Jack Bass has slithered back into the picture and is threading to ruin chucks entire existence? NO WE SAY NO-Get out of her ya skeeze! Things are heating up like Nate in that damn suit and the made up historical society dinner thing. XOXO H & T

Hannah gives us a smut journey update and her journey with Bridgerton Season 2. Tyler is on one about the Duggars and is gearing up for a Barbie/Birdcage summer. But most importantly this ep is truly keyed into our theatre kid and Lady Gaga inclined hearts and brains. Mean theatre kids lead by a guy we name Pritchaard ? CHECK! Serena in an affair that we never asked for? CHECK! Little J hanging out with a sketchy waffle? CHECK CHECK! And GG flexes in ways we could never have dreamed to really prove she was that girl in 2009 by having Mother GAGA perform Bad Romance DOWN! XOXO H & T

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) need to talk it alllll out.

Honestly an episode spent about Oliva/H. duff/ Lizzie M. being on Jimmy Fallon is not something we can really care about. Grand papa William vandy-b is back and everyone is tripping over Tripp’s campaign, headquartered at Chuck’s hotel. Blair’s edit this season is giving desperation and it’s not a good look on her. But GASP! Tripp rescues someone from the river?! BUT THE GUY WAS A PLANT?! And who the f*ck set him up and WHO THE F*CK IS DAMN BRANDEIS?! And Jenni may or may not have Covid in this ep. XOXO H & T

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are back and trust a damn thing that the Tom’s say! This ep gave us everything we needed—old timey editing, moonshine and wayyyy too many 1920’s adjacent costumes. Chuck and Blair plotting? Serena working a real damn job? SO MANY DAMN FEDORAS?! We love to see it all including Olivia and her steamy Knight of the Vampire round table film. Dan’s bugging about Olivia’s ex, S gets fired like 5 times and Jenny IS NOT IT. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 3, EP. 6 || LALALA for life Apr 20, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith tackle the most pressing topics— OKOKOK vs LALALA girlies and we are both obvs LALALA, Tyler had a staycation and Hannah had a morning from hell in SLC. This episode was FINE, MID as the kids say. The best part was the look queen B turned in her All About Eve Dream sequence—other than that, we could have done without the nonsense of the will they won’t they over this damn TOAST at the parents weekend dinner. S plays poker, Dan can’t cook chicken, B is vicious and Lizzie M./H. Duff/Olivia is back. Also Carter is going to work on an oil rig because in this world, anything is plausible. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP. 5|| EAT MY A**! Apr 13, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are coming in HOT! We catch up on all things culture and truthfully this episode was a bit of bore after last weeks intro of one H. Duff! We go back into the will they won’t they of Fufus and Lily and a wildly quick turn around time for a botanic garden wedding. There was a lot of Bree/Nate drama, which wasn’t really our bag BUT Blair pulls out one of her greatest looks EVER at Lilys wedding and we are truly grateful for that. Lots of Serena having to geaux and lots of Carter looking moody, all while Georgina Sparks is a true agent of chaos! XOXO H & T

DUFF 2. T. BANKS 3. literally Tory Burch we think?! Seeing Lizzie McGuire fit in amongst the co-eds is truly a sight to BEHOLD. B and Chuck get their groove back, S doesn’t WANT TO GEAUX TO BROWN, and Little J takes her place as the queen of Constance—thick eyeliner and all. Will sad boy Dan and H. Duff be a thing? Hey now, hey now this is what dreams are made of! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 3, EP 3|| WE GOTTA GEAUX TO AN AUCTION Mar 30, 2023

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) come together one last time as an ode to the GG reboot—a series of fashion, chaos and confusion. But first can we get the deserved flowers for 101 Dalmatians the cartoon classic?! ITS SERVING CAMP AND CHAOS and we love to see it. In the world of GG camp and chaos—we will miss Luna and Monet, we will miss doing our impression of Audrey and yes, we will even miss le basket, Kate Keller herself. TBH seeing her be brought to justice in an Italian restaurant was the highlight of 2023 so far. So strap in one last time for this nonsense—at least we get a met ball and we go to Italy! That was chic AF and pretty much our dream life, to kiki over stunning Italian food. XOXO H & T

This ep is filled with lots of looks, lots of renaissance lute music and the elaborate entrance of Rex Huntington (probs the III or VI). Obie is a sad artist, Audrey is a great girlfriend and Max can apparently bake. Monet and Luna AKA MONA share what looks like an amazing day at the spa. And we would like to be instantly transported to this stunning AF Ralph Lauren cafe. JC is chicer than ever in a full place of off duty celeb as she dodges santacon with Zoya, with Obie as uber driver. We also write a musical that nobody asked for. XOXO H & T

Hosts (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) give you what everyones been asking for—our 2021 Spotify wrapped deets! JK no one asked and Spotify read us for filth. In all seriousness there is TW for this ep—as this weeks GG ep deals explicitly with sexual assault. And kids, it’s not great/-we still wanna bring the Lols but this is a hard one to get through. Luckily, MONET AND LUNA ARE BACK, giving us maybe one of the best one liners of the series. On a series of unhinged tangents, we share experiences with reditt —and how gritty the philly flyers mascott is reditt in muppet form. In Bravo news, Helena is Yolanda Hadid and heather is back on RHOC and is the grounding force that show needs. And in the twist we all saw coming, wendymertylagatha darling has gone to the dark side —we thought she was friend, when in-fact she was foe. XOXO H & T

We begin by giving our personal turkey day recaps and much love to the legend Stephen Sondheim. In this ep, JC served lewk after LEWK OKAY—we are unworthy of these fashions. A highlight and standout, saskia and her dog MICHAEL CAIN steal the show for Tyler as she confuses every name of every actor on Absolutely Fabulous. Also—we may or may not have written a GG musical? SHOULD WE WRITE A GG MUSICAL? Meanwhile, sweet Zoya deserves so much better, max tries to parent trap his dads, and WHO TF is jamiejordannathan even? Honestly would have loved to have had a seat at this thanksgiving of chaos. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2, ep. 25 || its finally the finale we all deserve--graduation tassel time! Oct 26, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) sit down to discuss the Season 2 finale AKA the day that Serena Van Der Woodsens graduation tassel made the world stand still. Things of note: this is a Jojo Siwa Stan podcast and we literally take a break so Tyler can purchase a holiday Nap Dress. Back to the ep--the race for the next queen of Constance is on—and little J is vying for the crown. THE SERENA HAIR TASSEL moment of our nightmares has ARRIVED and we are demanding answers. We get a torturous back and forth between Chuck and B and its infuriating! Meanwhile, GG is running wild and S decides to lead the charge to bring her down. We get a Rufus Star Wars joke and we get a Tudor history lesson from B as she bestows the Queen B crown on Little J in a bathroom with misplaced beaded curtains. And Lily finally gets the understated proposal from Rufus that she’s always wanted as this episode leaves us screaming as we get B and Chuck union via dreamy gifts and those three little words we've been waiting two seasons for!

And we OFC chat about our own proms in honor of this super special episode and celebrate how Hannah was crowned PROM QUEEN just like queen B! Aside from the prom glamour of it all--this episode left some things to be desired and we wish we got more of a prom moment without the vintage lily Brittany Snow B-plot. Ceci is back as the ultimate agent of terror, Chuck insures that Blair has the best prom ever—including having her dream dress commissioned from an atelier in Paris and we are GAGGED. And B breaks up with Nate and we can’t wait for this season 2 finale! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2, ep. 23 || that's a Carrie Underwood song, not a life choice Oct 12, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) tackle the hottest of topics this week: including but limited to, who our fav cartoon mice are, which cartoons have BDE, the cast VPR creating their own Coachella rave tent and in a truly tragic turn of events--Tyler finds out and reacts in real time about Zac Efron getting fillers. Also this your friendly reminder that mercury is in retrograde and its time for self care and to nest up witches! In GG news, we are ready for the return of the reboot—BRING IT BACK! Georgina spends this week as a weird martian who realizes Christian camp can’t outweigh her love of revenge and malice. Lily continues to field calls for “the caterer”--like who TF is this caterer and what event are we constantly planning..more importantly can we get an invite? Fufus is in a full place of Scrooge on Christmas morning about potentially proposing to lily. Apparently Gabriel isn’t culpable and poppy Lipton heir to the tea fortune is the thief behind this scandal! All in all, S should have left the scheming to queen B and king Chuck, but like DUH. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 22|| the B*TCH IS BACK Oct 05, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) kiki about Hannah’s harrowing travel tails, our thoughts on the Britney doc, and Charlie puth vs Alan menken on our IG stories. In this romp of an ep, we humbly welcome back the wicked witch of the Upper East Side—lady Georgina Sparks. Rufus is lit about antiques, Nate tries to bribe B with a Murray hill apartment and Chuck plays basketball in a truly shocking velour track suit/ascot amidst some seriously sexy scheming with B. Meanwhile, Gabriel is trying to get everyone to invest in his pyramid scheme and still doesn’t know what genre he is in.

Luckily, daddy Cyrus Rose is back and is the MVP of this ep by hosting a chaotic but ultimately chic Passover supper. S is back from Spain and maybe got married?! and we need to know whether or not this b*tch can go on a trip without needing a litigator. Unrelated, but related-- WTF is going on with poppy Lipton, heir to the tea dynasty? Grandpapa William makes a deal with B about Nate's future and Dan is bringing back the fashions of cater water with a vengeance. And will Gabriel ever understand the assignment? TBD XOXO H & T

We also chat met gala, vma's, our affinity for leftovers and are excited to celebrate our Podcast anniversary! As for the GG of it all—after this weeks My Super Sweet Sixteen installment, we have questions: like when do all of these UES teens get up in the morning to be able to have a full brunch spread prior to first period? Also when did Poppy Lipton, heir to the Lipton tea fortune, get that angular bob?? Whether we like it or not, Ms. Lipton is back and making S question her entire existence. Little J is hoping for a low key 16th, featuring chili and boardgames, but we obviously know the Van Der Woodsens couldn’t possibly abide that. So Serena Carpe's that Diem and throws Little J a sweet sixteen extravaganza with nary a bowl of chili in sight. Nate and B share a snow covered Central Park kiss, only after initially dismissing her by kissing her like a fur baby on her teeny nose?! And Chuck cosplays as Hugh Hefner which surprises no one. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2 || ep. 19 || chapped lips sink ships Sep 14, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are on a rollercoaster ride in this weeks ep, set amidst a Vanderbilt/Archibald family reunion and a Blair Waldorf that is set on burning it all to the ground. We first give our takes on which American Girl Dolls were the b*tchiest and on the new Cinderella movie--and we would like to reiterate that the ONLY acceptable Cinderella version is the Wonderful World of Disney's Cinderella, starring legends and icons Brandy and Whitney Houston. WE SAID WHAT WE SAID. This ep also had us questioning the collared shirt of it all from the Vanderbilts, how our feet would hold up as the Flinstones and how the Jetsons were chic as f*ck. Blair pulls a Jax Taylor in Hawaii and steals some glasses, S threatens Carter B. with some info about 'what happened in Santorini', we ride hard again for Sir Hiss from Robin Hood, and we give you our Les Miserable impressions that truly no one has ever asked for. XOXO H & T

STEPS OF THE MET || Raven @mainlybravo is the icon, the legend, the Blair Waldorf of our dreams Sep 10, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are joined on the Met Steps by podcast superstar and bravo/reality TV IG legend Raven (@mainlybravo)!

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2, ep. 18 || f*cking in prop storage to Deathcab for Cutie IS NOT IT Sep 07, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) recap their weeks which include a Wisconsin staycay trip to HOUSE ON THE ROCK and a luxurious stay at Holiday Inn Express, which truly revived Tyler's soul. Also we need Bethenny Frankel's Trunchbull from Matilda energy to revive RHONY. ALSO also, the Louvre is overrated--we said WHAT WE SAID. This episode however, truly made our high school theatre kid hearts sing and we go on a full spring down theatre memory lane. The Constance/St. Judes production is just a fever dream of opulence: we get quotes from Shakespeare, Uta Hagen, Edith Wharton, straight off the runway couture costuming and terrible British dialects. We would also like to take the time to welcome the 'TOASTER OVEN' (Rachel Carr) and the 'DOILY' (mysterious Elle) to our menagerie of inanimate character objects/nicknames--they've entered the chat. And what in the twisted Upper East Side version of Haedes is going to happen with B and Carter Baizen?! TBD Y'all-- XOXO H & T.

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2, epsidode 17 || I AM PETTY, I AM RAGE Aug 31, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) start off chatting all things past Halloween costumes of yore: spoiler alert--unsurprisingly, Hannah won and Tyler dressed up as Bellatrix Lestrange 3 separate times. Returning back to the OG series, it feels like we are Dorothy returning from OZ and Kansas is the Upper East Side we have been craving. And truly we have never been happier to see a thumbnail of Lonely Boy Dan looking bewildered while holding a coffee. WE MISSED IT ALL, and maybe most of all, hearing S tell people she has TO GEAUX. Unfortunately, Rachel Carr is back for another episode and all of this eerily lines up with some of the storylines that left off in the reboot! Needless to say, our RAGE-L (Rachel rage) is out of control this episode and we will make no apologies--SHE IS BEAUTY SHE IS GRACE, WE ARE PETTY WE ARE RAGE. Some other stuff happens, but most notably Chuck has been driven to madness and is in a full place of Dangerous Liaisons. Are we happy to be back on the OG UES? DUH XOXO H & T.

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || SEASON 1, ep 6 || FENTI IS FOREVER Aug 24, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) return to cover the mid-season finale of the GG reboot! Maybe our fav episode to date, this one is action packed. But before we dive in, we give you the info that truly matters: Hannah’s couple costume idea for us is bananas in pajams, bama rush TikTok vibes and the rush of it all and our sex and the city thoughts. Now on with the ‘sode: this week Audrey is spiraling about Kiki, Aki is trying desperately to be supportive and max Wolfe shoes up in a cable knit sweater to create the hottest thrupple of all freaking time. Meanwhile, the basket is as baskety as ever and we meet Helena, obies mom who is basically the feather duster from beauty and the beast—and if we have said it once, we will say it again—lumiere is a hottie, plus he’s a literal candle which is undeniably hot. Speaking of Obie—NOBLE O he is not, but he HOT AF he is. It’s truly a lot to take in, and left us looking forward to even more UES drama later this fall. XOXO H & T

STEPS OF THE MET || Paris Nicholson, who's the hottest of them all Aug 13, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are joined by TikTok icon and agent of hilarity, Paris Nicholson (@parisnicholson) for the inaugural bonus episode of STEPS OF THE MET. Each bonus episode, we will be joined by a super special guest on 'the steps of the met' to have an all things GG kiki! This week, Paris gives us all his GG opinions, insights and takes us through his iconic TOP 5 HOTTEST LIST of the original GG and reboot cast. It's hot, it's the moment NOW COME ON NOW. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || SEASON 1, ep. 5 || BJ's during passing period is not the vibe Aug 10, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckemeredith) are ready for all the spooky vibes of this weeks Halloween/ Hulaween episode! And honestly this is our fav ep of the reboot to date: it gives us high goof troop factor, fall vibes, a moment of couples costume confusion, drama etc etc. But most importantly we FINALLY get a cameo from the original cast and it comes in the form of the iconic, the chic, the stunning legend that is Nelly Yuki and we ARE SLAIN. Thank you GG universe for answering our manifestations of this cameo--we are truly blessed. There is of course a rollercoaster of nonsense with a smattering of totally inappropriate conduct that left us still wanting more but hopeful for the story lines that are currently brewing. And again, as always, Monet and Luna are IT. PERIOD. THE END. Fingers crossed they let us sit at their perfectly situated lunch table some day. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT||season 1, ep. 4|| CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING Aug 03, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) return to another reboot episode of chaos and impeccable styling. And y'all we were not ready for this version of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, we were not ready for this 58 minute loop of a runaway Space Mountain--a cyclone of insanity if you will. Some moments of levity include: discussing our 'siren song' TV shows that lull us into a sweet sleep, how traveling makes us into dehydrated salt boxes, how Caeleb Dressel won our eyeballs and hearts even if he would be too tall to fit into our Shire Hobbit homes. And it's officially a month away from the best time of the year--HOT GIRL FALL IS UPON US! But truly, without teeny Tom Riddle AKA Milo Sparks in a tiny track suit with a wee teacup, this episode would never have survived. He gave us the 'goof troop factor' we have been craving! The soundtrack this week? FIRE. Monet and Luna slaying every scene they are in and every look they serve? ICONIC. Would we have made it onto the guest list for Z and JC's soiree? TBD. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || SEASON 1, ep 3|| a f*ckboy in sheep's clothing Jul 29, 2021

Hosts Hannah brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are not feeling the diabolical and dramatic dealings of this weeks installment of the GG reboot. Prior to the drama of the ep, we talk all things Olympics, why Simone Biles is the hero we don't deserve and we are slightly indifferent to Bravo at the moment. Getting to the entree of the picnic, we are not buying this fruit salad mashup of plot lines that we are presented with this week. All we are asking for is a perfectly toasted smore of drama and goofiness and we don't think thats asking too much! Despite some disappointments, this weeks stars are clearly Monet and Luna who are the chicest and wittiest of the entire Constance crew. And thank the Upper East Side heavens, DONNA MURPHY shows up to bring some major star power! We mostly walk away with questions: namely will there be a season 2, are pasta tours a thing and can Luna give us makeovers a la Cluess? We remain hopeful that the theatrics of this weeks episode are setting up a full on opera level of insanity for next weeks ep. Will we ever be hip enough to sit on the met steps with queens of constance? I mean, probs not but that's one secret we'll never tell. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || season 1, ep. 2 || I DONT LIKE YOU and this is a bad date Jul 20, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are back and ready for all of drama and fashions in the second episode of the reboot! Our pre-show kiki this week consists of our excitement over Hannah's BIRTHDAY WEEK, musical theatre references and how YZMA is the most underrated Disney villain of all time. And moving into the this weeks reboot ep, we find ourselves fully immersed in high drama, high fashions and the highest bidder as we come together for the schools fundraiser. It's also parent teacher conferences and the teachers are totally bugging because of their elite student's parental units invading their space. We also can say with complete confidence that Kate Basket Keller sounds slightly like Sean Connery--we have no regrets, we said what we said. We meet Audrey's mom Kiki played by the I C O N I C Laura Benanti, as things between Audrey and Aki leave us with LOTS of questions. Meanwhile Max Wolfe of Wall Street is crushing on the hot teacher and will forever be the Chuck Bass of this reboot. And all of the hype surrounding NOBLE O? WE AREN'T BUYING WHAT YOU'RE SELLING OBIE...well we might, but we aren't sure yet! Will the Basket be able to keep up with the social pressures being the one true voice of GG? TBD on if this basket will hold up. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || SEASON 1, PILOT|| super rich kids don't f*ck with baskets Jul 13, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are here to kick off the pilot episode of the GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT! Y'all when we say we were foaming at the mouth to do our first reboot recap, we cannot tell a lie. Truly a sexy rollercoaster from start to finish and we loved confirming some of our aforementioned predictions--I.E. Kate BASKET Keller is indeed a basket and probably rides hard Vera Bradley. The Font? The sexiest font we have ever seen. The lighting and set decoration? Truly unmatched. THE SOUNDTRACK? Nothing has ever been better. The sh*t that was talked on shopping at Zara? Shook us to our cores. We show up for the for the coolest, chicest and most exclusive group of friends and we stay for all of the throwbacks to the original GG. Honestly we CANNOT WAIT for the next ep and to see our favorite and sexiest city shine like the Big Apple star that she is--NYC is essentially her own character and we love getting to bask in her beauty. What will become of the newly formed rivalry between JC and Z? That's one secret we'll never tell--XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2 || ep. 16 || meet me in 15 minutes or I’ll f*ck off forever! Jul 06, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are back in their last season 2 recap episode before the reboot starts! We give you all the pre-show kiki content you never knew you needed: how theatre is actually an Olympic sport and Simone Biles is the GOAT, truly an icon; summer is mismarketed and we are ready for HOT GIRL FALL YALL; and most importantly we discuss Hannah’s polarizing decision about hating Gilmore Girls. This episode was truly at Operatic heights of drama as Yale begins sending out acceptance letters to the coeds of Constance and St. Judes. And as the admissions results role in, B goes on a war path. Unfortunately, amongst all of the high notes, we are forced to endure the entrance of a one Ms. Rachel Carr—and we aren’t impressed. We are not buying this Miss Iowa act and she is not to be trusted! Things between Lily and Rufus are heating up and lonely boy and S are trying to figure things out, and I guess we couldn't care less. Things we DO care about: why the f*ck is Shirley (the deans assistant) actually mrs. doubtfire? ALSO we LIVE a lily/chuck alliance! FYI--Vanessa and Nate are the hottest couple of the show we don’t make the rules. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 2, ep. 15 || ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY… or something like that Jun 29, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) start this weeks pre-show kiki with hot topics including: post-pandemic fomo, Hannah’s TikTok journey and the Taylor Swift RED re-release. This weeks ep is like being on a rollercoaster on a daily installment of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. When the episode starts, we are attending the reading of Bart’s will—Chuck is in a full place of a stepbrother from GOT and all we wanna know is WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN JACK AND BLAIR?! And as all we can do is wonder what really went down between them that mysterious night on NYE, Jack is lurking like a ghost bust in Haunted Mansion as the battle to claim the empire begins. However dramatic and sad as this episode is, there are some bright spots: Chuck looks like a CEO snack, the evil stepsisters are at it again and THE TEENY SERENA MINIONS ARE BACK and cuter than ever as we take an unexpected but timely trip to Dylan’s Candy Bar! Who will win the title of this quest for the throne? That’s one secret that’s left to unfold. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || SEASON 2, ep. 14 ||it’s a new year, but you’re still tacky & I hate you Jun 22, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are excited dish everything about this thrilling ep, but first share their thoughts on bachelorette and RHOC casting shakeups! We also compare our fav American Girl Dolls which felt very important at the time. Unfortunately this ep brings with it, the entrance of Jack Bass aka Jack Black who is honestly so tacky, and we hate him. Meanwhile back at Constance, Nellie and Little J are back and we love to see it. What we don’t love, is how Penelope and the mean girls have major evil step sister energy this week. We also love the resurgence of the victrola!! And we have to give it up to little j for taking on the evil stepsisters of the met—and yeah this ep was basically just an excuse for us to do our Cinderella impressions, thanks for asking. BUT LAST AND CERTAINLY NOT LEAST: S has dumbed Aaron/rumples! The tyrannical run of this wizard, sorcerer goblin is finally over! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL REBOOT || TRAILER || something’s different in the best way Jun 18, 2021

BONUS! hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are going rogue with a surprise bonus Friday ep, recapping the official reboot trailer! And it’s A MOOD, it’s a VIBE, it’s a MOOD YALL! The cast is stacked with characters boasting the coolest cool kid names we could dream up and KRISTEN BELL IS BACK BABY! There is a truly stunning HBO level of chicness at work here. And we are thrilled to see something that is CW canon being elevated to an HBO level of eleganza. The fashions, the hidden XO details—we live for it all and are gagged by the specificity! Will we get OG cameos?! Who’s to say..only time will tell and we can’t wait to see what secrets are revealed! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || season 2, ep 13|| amidst high tragedy, comes high fashion Jun 15, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) have a siesta key catch-up to start of this weeks kiki! And things take a tragic turn this week as we learn that Bart has died!? As Lily grieves, she meets up with Rufus and Ceci is not having any of it. Much to our delight we are immersed in full autumnal/spooky vibes, creating the perfect backdrop for incredibly chic funeral OOTDs. Chuck is completely unhinged after barts passing, and Blair finally says those 3 WORDS, 8 LETTERS! And our girl S is caught between rumples the riddler and lonely boy—and settles on a holiday in Buenos Aires with the wizard, over books in Brooklyn. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 12|| BUCKLE YOUR BIRKINS, ITS GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE! Jun 08, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are so pumped this week, because we finally have a premiere date for the GG REBOOT!! JULY 8TH YALL! A lot happened last week that needs must be discussed: the Cruella premiere, the Friends Reunion and our thoughts on this season of RHOB. In the land of the Upper East Side, it's time for the Snowflake Ball! This week, Little J has some major BDE while S and D have some sexual tension and we are actually interested for once. We must admit that in this ep, we have to give it up to S--BREAKING NEWS we were team Serena this week! Unfortunately, Rumples ex Lexi comes into the mix and threatens to ruin it all. Meanwhile B and Chuck attempt to set each other up with doppelgänger dates as part of a bet, which results in a steamy dance between them, and we love to see it. Tensions are also growing high between Bart and Lily that end in a truly unthinkable way at the end of this weeks ep. And ultimately it all comes back to Charlie Puth--it all circles back to Charlie. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 11 || IT'S THANKSGIVING BABYYY! Jun 01, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are ready to settle down to our fav holiday meal and episode of the season! We start out our kiki by giving you all the tea on our prom dress journeys and Olivia Rodrigo dropping the album of the freaking year and how its truly Olivia's world and we are just living in it. This week, Eric is back and we are THRILLED because he is truly the Sonja Morgan energy healer of the series. We are also given an onslaught of amazing cameos including but not limited to: THE MANNEQUIN AND THE CAPTAIN IN A JAX TAYLOR VPR SEASON 1 SWEATER. And things only continue to go downhill for Nate from there. Meanwhile S needs to get out of the real life horror riddle film that is Rumples--like LEAVE/GO like you always do! She also gives us a ketchup and mustard ensemble that will haunt us till the end of time. We also reveal our plans for the afterlife--being the cats from Aristocats and living in Paris. And this somehow takes us to a place of titanic and we aren't mad about it. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 10|| I AM GRACE KELLY, GRACE KELLY IS ME May 25, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) buckle up for another roller coaster ride of an episode. First off--THE HUMPHREYS NEED HELP. Sneaky old lonely boy is digging for dirt on Bart Bass as a means to get his letter of rec for Yale. And as Dan stoops to conquer, little J is doing her best to make it work with chaotic Agnes, which only could end one way--utter destruction and devastation. Meanwhile in the land of the Upper East Side, it's B's 18th birthday! HBD B! but TBH we weren't feeling her party, and she truly deserves more. Luckily the script writers made all of our Clueless dreams come true by introducing MR. HALL as Eleanor's new boyfriend! And while B is super underwhelmed, we are quite literally overjoyed by this Wallace Shawn sighting. But amidst all this juicy drama, we are forced once again to return to the land of sorcery and riddles by Rumples/Aaron and we have had enough. S spends most of the episode trying to leave every scene she's in and then accepts an offer from Rumples to go to a puppet show in the park. Excuse me--do we want to go to a puppet show with a master of trickery, nonsense and middles (map riddles)?! ITS A HARD NO FROM US. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep 9|| he gave you a ring pop when you were 6, MOVE ON! May 18, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are forced to suffer through another episode filled with Rumpelstiltskin AKA Aaron and his caterpillar riddles. In our pre-show chat we discuss Julia Child, the RHONY premiere and how we would have zero chill meeting our celebrity crushes. Needless to say, we are not buying this totally unrealistic flirtation betwixt Serena and Rumples. We are not here for this riddles nor his unclear skinny scarves--ENOUGH! Meanwhile, Little J is in a full place of the mice from Cinderella trying to make her chaotic pop up fashion show with Agnes happen. S volunteers B to babysit as way to help her get into Yale, but little Emma has other plans--she has her sights set on losing her V Card and Blair is dragged along for the ride. Lonely Boy is giving us big Billy Zane energy throughout this entire episode, especially when he confronts Nate about the GG post where he was kissing Little J! By the end, we were ready to get off this big thunder mountain of an episode and go grab a park snack. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2|| ep. 8|| IM BORED, YOU RUINED MY PANTS May 11, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) have many many exciting things to discuss this week in our pre-show kiki y'all! Topics include but aren't limited to: A GENERAL PREMIER DATE FOR THE GG REBOOT (JULY), Summerhouse reunion, RHOA reunion, the TikTok teaser of Housewives Allstars, and how the Big Shot with Bethany is pure chaos--like we are about to have panic attacks but we are having a great time. As we open this ep, Little J is now in a full place of Betsy Johnson punk and we don't know how we feel about this near overnight transformation. Agnes is quite literally THE WORST--we all have a friend who wants to burn it all down, and her name is Agnes. Eleanor is decidedly a mix between Miss Hannigan from Annie and Madame Medusa from the Disney classic, The Rescuers. TBH, honestly we were so insulted by the writers trying to force us to buy into the attraction between S and Aaron--1800NO-ONE-CARES. The neck scarf of it all in this episode is truly too much but the best part of this ep for us was us creating our million dollar idea for BABES ON ICE--which is truly just hot guys iceskating. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 7|| dangerous liaisons of Bass and Waldorf May 04, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) reminisce this week about the still slightly drunk brunch shifts of yore, pop album nostalgia, the leaked alternative GG opening credits and connect over a deeply inspirational quote by the ICONIC Kelly Cutrone. As we dive back into this weeks ep we find ourselves yet again turned on by fall foliage. But Bart Bass is Back and is trying to establish some 'family rules' and S is not having it. Also can we talk about how Serena's wardrobe has major SUR energy from season 1 of VPR? Things of note this week include: how Eric truly is the Yoda of all of this Upper East Side nonsense, how its super hot to be addressed by your last name, tights are not pants and we chat all things Captain Barbosa and other unlikely celebrity crushes. TBH the writers were truly out to lunch on this episode--it was sexy and horrible all at the same time. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep 6|| trouble in the land of Ivy Leagues Apr 27, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are happily transported to a place of Yale in October, living out all of our cottage core fantasies. We begin in a full place of our Chicago accent journey through the eyes of Chicago improv bros and how the Windy City will always hold a special place in our hearts. However, the plot line of this ep truly sends us to full place of rage and fury with all of its Serena nonsense. While we are off to the Ivy League races, things are still rocky between B and S and the race for who will be the queen of Yale IS ON. Dan heads to New Haven in his sad brown OOTD to impress the Ivy League elite but gets into a full farce of stolen identity antics with Nate once he arrives. And to no ones surprise, Chuck is only their for the secret society of it all and goes head to head with the HBIC (head bro in charge) of the Skull and Bones bros. Will we ever forgive S for these missteps? That's one secret we'll never tell. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 2, ep. 5|| CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE LITTLE J Apr 20, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are spending the week celebrating a true NYC staple--the one and only FASHION WEEK BABYYY! Join us as we dream of days of staring at clothing we can't afford, drinking overpriced cocktails and somehow being Blair Waldorf's cronies so we can get in on all of the drama. Not only are we BLESSED with another Tinsley Mortimer cameo, we see Michael Kors--a true icon of the times. We would also like to know who Marc Jacobs pissed off in the script writing department, because he's ruthlessly dragged several times throughout this ep. And who in the fresh hell is this Poppy "Lipton" character? We obvs assumed she was heir to Lipton tea fortune, which honestly checks out for the insanity of the GG universe. In addition to the drama of Fashion Week, we spend time with Dan who is still trying to write a short story (STOP TRYING TO MAKE SHORT STORIES HAPPEN DAN) and poor man's Michael Douglas is maybe gonna help him--TBH we don't really know because we probably were looking at our phones during that part. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, ep. 4 || caught between a C*CK AND A HARD PLACE Apr 13, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) have LOTS to discuss of the pre-show kiki this week: from Celine Dion being a Muppet, the Duke leaving Bridgerton, to how we will never as cool as Billie Eilish and GG reboot looks--WE HAVE THOUGHTS. This week on the GG, we happily return to the halls of Constance. Not only are we slain by the return to school fashions--we meet AMANDA AKA LAURA-LEIGH from Vanderpump Rules and we are truly shook. We are also truly over this narrative of Serena and Dan trying to be friends, and she has no one to blame but herself for inviting him on a freaking 3 way date with Amanda?!--stop trying to make fetch happen y'all. Chuck is still lurking in the background like a Disney villain and or Sir Hiss from Robin Hood. Vanessa catches the Duchess in a seriously compromising position and her refusal to let B. Waldorf HANDLE IT ON HER OWN fills us with rage. And in a plot twist to all of us, we were into Serena's power mood during this episode! But DON'T YOU DARE THINK YOU CAN DETHRONE OUR QUEEN B. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL ||SEASON 2, ep. 3 || Chuck Bass is a Disney villain, we don't make the rules Apr 06, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are ready to break down the third ep of the season 'THE DARK KNIGHT'--the ep not the acclaimed and seriously amazing film. Our pre-show kiki includes but is not limited to our love of old timey movie voices, how much we hate board games and how improv might not be our thing. During the recap we go in on little J and her screaming antics, more misuse of silk fabric by the wardrobe department and how the writers are truly gaslighting us into liking Chuck Bass. Also we are sorry, not sorry to say that we could quite literally care less about what is going on with S and D--and does anyone actually even know what they are fighting about it?! Needless to say this ep makes us feel like we are OFF TO THE RACES. This week, come for the COUNTLESS disney references and stay for the Usher, Joey Fatone and The Rock cameo mentions. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 2, ep. 2|| more Manhattan and less macaroni kisses please Mar 30, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) are back in the Hamptons aesthetic of their dreams for the second ep of the season! Don't get us wrong, we love our summer vibe of the Hamptons, but we aren't mad about the return of the crew to the chic sidewalks of the Upper East Side. And while the notion of returning to the halls of Constance THRILLS us, an entire episode centered around the KISSING SOUNDS of S and D is truly a nightmare. Seriously, how dare the GG writers subject us to this for 43 minutes? Luckily sprinkled throughout this nonsense, there's more publicity for the JITNEY, Blair turning out looks and some major drama with Nate and the HIGHLY ANTICIPATED return of the Mannequin! Chuck also challenges Lord Marcus to a game of squash which is beyond our sports game comprehension, but any story line that has Mr. Bass scheming in the name of winning Blair's affection is one we are obvs interested in. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 2, episode 1|| WE ARE BACK B*TCHES! Mar 23, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith) ARE BACK FOR SEASON TWO AND READY FOR ALL THE SCANDAL. Good thing our first GG ep of the season takes us to the dreamy and ever so steamy world of The Hamptons. No, we have never been--Yes, we are waiting for our invitation from a cast member of RHONY to their sensible back yard bash. Nevertheless summer is in full swing: Nate has his eyes set on someone V V unavailable, B is coming back from Europe early?!, Chuck is scheming and S is looking sad in a studded coverup and literally no one is surprised. This ep not only has one of the MOST ICONIC LINES OF THE ENTIRE SERIES, but it is packed with stunning B. Waldorf ensembles-- unfortunately that beauty is nearly overshadowed by the ill-fitting linen suit of it all from nearly every guy in this freaking cast. So put on your fav floral ensemble, grab your favorite iced latte and lets pretend we are live, laugh and loving our way through The Hamptons at the underproduced Vitamin Water White Party-- who will stop by for a cameo? That's one secret we'll never tell XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep. 18 || much ado about the season one finale Jan 19, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE||big disney energy) wrap up the inaugural and arguably incredibly iconic season of GOSSIP GIRL. As was the way with the entire defining first season, this ep is a messy montage of Serena leaving Dan, Chuck being chuck and B being the baddest B on the Upper East Side. Also it's Lily's wedding day and things are truly chaotic, yet through this chaos we are graced with the juiciest pay back of Georgina at the hands of Blair and we agree that revenge is truly so so sweet. Not only are forced to see some harrowing floral fashion choices at Lily's wedding, but we are subjected to an affront on our senses by Serenas accessories and subjected to the back and forth nonsense with Dan. And as all good things must come to an end, this GG sends us off with a vague cliffhanger, shots of bridges and a sensible XOXO--and we truly love to see it. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| SEASON 1, EP. 17 || Georgina Sparks is pure evil Jan 12, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) are still stuck in a Georgina tornado that we, and the entire Upper East Side, can't escape. Not to worry--we start off with the sensible chat we know and love: we give skin care recs, THE RETURN OF SATC, Bridgerton news (no one is surprised) and all of our upcoming TV excitement. Luckily in this ep Rufus finally gets his moment in the sun, sharing moments with LISA FREAKING LOEB YALL.--not to mention sharing several moments with Lily--and we LOVE to see it. And yet the rest of the episode is filled with cringe worthy moments (except for Nate looking hotter by the minute): Serena is in a bad state and possibly murdered someone, it's Lily's rehearsal dinner?? and Dan blows off his dad for 'SARAH'. Despite Georgina and her nonsense, the entire crew bands together in the name of Serena and more importantly their hatred for Georgina--watch out G, this Scooby Doo adjacent band of rich misfits are as loyal as they come and are heading to the borrow of Brooklyn to bring you down. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL||season 1, ep. 16|| the fall from the top is a long way down Little J Jan 05, 2021

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) are thrust once again into the darkness that is the Upper East Side and all of its terrifying Drama. Little J and B's feuding continues and Little J's boyfriend has a secret he's hoping to keep with her by his side. S is in so far over her head with the insanity of Georgina's antics that we are truly shaken to our cores with her admittance of something so terrible that the cliff hanger of this episode is NEXT LEVEL. We additionally chat all things quarantine NYE, Downton Abbey (because why not y'all) and to no one's surprise, somehow draw comparisons between this episode and several brilliant Disney characters. Most notably, the shock and awe we have regarding the mention of a former RHONY cast member can be felt from coast to coast--only comparably to how horrified we are when Georgie's manipulative master plan to blackmail S takes yet another harrowing turn. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep. 15|| don't mess the B whose name starts with a G Dec 29, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) get into the GEORGINA OF IT ALL YALL. As if Blair Waldorf wasn't perfectly terrifying enough, Georgina Sparks rolls back into town leaving everyone, even a one Charles Bass, absolutely terrified. In addition to our normal tangents we go in on BRIDGERTON, aka Gossip Girl + Jane Austen, for like a sensible half hour and have no regrets. I mean can we talk about DAME JULIE ANDREWS?! Also to be clear--this is a Duke of Hastings stan pod. In this GG ep, Little J wanders aimlessly looking for 'A King' and meets a dog walker that she brutally rebuffs only to realize he's LOADED--we have questions, namely what is even happening here and why do we care? We discuss our standardized testing study styles, how Rufus just wants to eat comfort food with his kids, and how Blair needs to leave Nelly alone. Most harrowing is how Georgina and her schemes that bring the new Serena back to her life and the parties of yore. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL||season 1, ep. 14|| THE BLAIR B*TCH PROJECT is a harrowing tale, and we shan't turn away Dec 22, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) are ready to see our B back on her throne and this episode doesn't disappoint. We obviously and unnecessarily discuss all things non-GG: including our issues with Adam the prince in beauty in the beast, our favorite floor cleaning scents, our Breakfast at Tiffanys journeys and how we are grateful for our later in life glow ups. We move on to the vital topic GG and noted that Nate looked hot AF, questioned why little J suddenly queen B and are reminded that trying to fit in with mean rich girls is a truly unsustainable lifestyle. MOREVER-- this ep is TRULY cringe! But we can't look away as GG warns us for the 100th time never EVER come for Blair Waldorf. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep 13|| no one will ever, EVER dethrone our Queen Dec 15, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational by Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckcmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) give you the attempted dethroning of our QUEEN B--but also give you our hot takes on Wallace and Gromit, how animals in Disney films will always tell you who the villains are and how RHOSL make us want more embellishments in our wardrobe. Also ICYMI--Tyler loves James Van Der Beek and is a Dawson Stan. AND YET, we have questions: why are we forced to endure this Rufus and gallery girl story line amidst this Constance pregnancy scare? We don't know. How is it that Serena literally leaves dan as soon as she arrives at any location where he is? We don't know. How does Little J EVER think she will get away with coming for QUEEN Blair Waldorf? NO ONE KNOWS. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| Season 1, ep. 12|| SCHOOL OF LIES OKAY Dec 08, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) recap this weeks GG ep about a secret pool party gone terribly wrong! Things of note and importance, Hannah gives us the Nick Cage and Tea Leoni impressions we never knew we needed, we gush about how we long to share our holiday spaces with each other, how FALL walks so that the holidays can RUN and how we make far too many theatre jokes but have no regrets. We see Mr. Chuck Bass back to his old nonsense--his hair flip is gone and so is empathy and dignity, Vanessa is making a documentary and everyone is nearly expelled because of the whereabouts of a certain skeleton key. Honestly we have never gone to and or participated in a sweet pool party like this one and we are ok with that--because TBH we don't want to be a part of your chicken match or wear any tankinis. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep. 11 || the holidays are here AND/OR lies that GG told me Dec 01, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) get festive AF as we dive into the Christmas ep of GG! it might be Thanksgiving week for H & T but its a full on holiday extravaganza in the world of the Upper East Side. How blessed are we to receive an a-cappella rendition of Santa Baby, led by Little J and her iconic heal pop? How blessed are we to witness this strange hodge podge of the Constance Bizarre? How blessed are we to witness a Waldorf Christmas? YALL this ep is full of Christmas miracles--namely the first appearance of Roman AKA Antoine from EMILY IN PARIS. It's also filled with disappointments NAMELY that our fathers never bought us chateaus in France. We also ask the hard hitting questions—not limited to, is there a greater gift than the gift of a spray tan gift card? We think not. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep 10--its DEBUTANTE BALL TIME BABY! Nov 24, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) sit down, light a seasonal candle and buckle up to discuss all things debutante ball! Things of note: our nxivm doc journey and its big theatre kid energy, current season of The Crown and our dialect exploration and our initial thoughts on RHOSLC. More importantly, it's DEBUTANTE TIME BABY, and honestly Blairs been training her entire life for this moment and we love this for her. Join us as we cover the complexities of Lily's stunning coiffure and Serenas mess of a hair style trajectory, HOW PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SHOWING UP WHEN THEY'RE NOT INVITED PLACES and how Little J will always choose the upper east side lofty life every time over Brooklyn. Also Carter Baizen IS BACK and Chuck has major Mr. Big-lurking-in-a-limo energy and exits the episode in a turtle neck and trench coat--bound for the airport! What's to come? That's one secret we'll never tell. XOXO H & T

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE|big disney energy) deck their halls and pour a glass of mulled wine to unpack this loaded ep--the Thanksgiving episode! AKA 'Blair Waldorf Must Pie' . y’all it is PACKED with all the ingredients for an epically dramatic and chaotic turkey day: flashbacks, weird font choices, pilgrim chic attire, your BFF having a water fight with your BF, exes and current wives passing the mashed and FINDING OUT YOUR BF’S DAD DATED YOUR MOM. Package that all up and wrap it in a bow of ‘Friends adjacent football game’ by an unnamed NYC bridge and there you have it—a Macy’s day parade of a disaster that we love to see. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL || season 1, ep. 8--BLAIR WILL BE BLAIR WILL BE BLAIR YALL Nov 10, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE||big disney energy) are so excited to spend this week celebrating queen Blair's birthday. We chat all things Holiday plans--stuffing vs. dressing, our love affairs with cranberry sauce from a can and how freaking festive we both are. This ep has us questioning all the old and familiar GG standbys: why are S and D making out and why must we be forced to witness it, why does Vanessa always appear, why anyone thinks they should ever come for Blair and finally WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE HUMPHREYS AND THEIR WAFFLES YALL--DO THEY EVEN HAVE A WAFFLE MAKER BECAUSE WE HAVE YET TO SEE IT. It must also be noted: that while neither of us love a moment of PDA, we do subscribe to a sensible butt grab of our significant others, we miss New York WE MISS BARS and last CERTAINLY NOT LEAST--WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE THE GIRLFRIEND AND BEST FRIEND BE FRIENDS? And if you do try to make it happen don't you DARE do that over a game of guitar hero AND DONT YOU DARE make us be a part of it. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1. ep 7||the JUICY TUBE of it all y’all Nov 03, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown ) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE|big disney energy ) have finally arrived at the iconic VICTOR, VICTROLA episode and we couldn't be happier as we kick off one of the greatest TV romances of all time! We talk our holiday decor extravaganza plans, The Witch on HBO and our Anne Hathaway journeys. Of course we have questions: including but not limited to--why must S. bite her lip prior to each kiss with Lonely Boy? Why can't Vanessa learn to knock or CALL?! We also discuss our deep longing to return to a hotel bar for a cocktail, we give you an anatomy lesson (you're welcome) but most importantly who encourage ourselves and others to LIVE FROM A PLACE OF BLAIR: put a bow on it and make it pilgrim chic. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1, ep. 6|| masquerades always end up looking way more party city and way less Marie Antoinette Oct 27, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown ) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE|big disney energy ) are joined by friend of the pod and the incredibly iconic Clayton Joyner (@cajoyne)! This week on GG, we are thrust into the world of masquerades, and honestly they are not nearly as sexy or mysterious as they seem. We chat our individual nightgown journeys, why Serena is doing the bare minimum at all times, why Dan and Rufus have an affinity for sad brown suits and WE WILL NOT abide being called our last names by our love interests--we are not in gym class thank you very much! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL|| season 1. ep 5--truth, dare or despair y'all Oct 20, 2020

Hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE|| big disney energy) discuss the intricacies of EPISODE 5--truth or dare, or despair. In addition to obviously recapping critical plot points, we discuss our water intake journeys, Hannah shares her fantasy remake cast of CLUE, and we dish all of our sleepover dreams. In this ep. we see little J looking like a sloppy pioneer corporate in her school uni, dan wears a sad brown suit and Blair takes her high collar, French Revolution blouse game to an entirely different level. I mean it's not all about the fashion, but like when Serena tries to pair a heavily fringed and adorned bag with a Charlotte Russe-esque number to go on her super exciting date with lonely boy....we have questions. Just please, someone whisk us away into a pre-covid universe where we can have the chicest slumber party ever and go to bed by 9PM.

GOSSIP GIRL|| Season 1. ep 4--welcome to the LOST WEEKEND, where all roads lead back to fedoras Oct 13, 2020

Your hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE||big disney energy) dish on it all, GG related or otherwise: the phenomenon that is Emily in Paris, the KJP legacy and the insanity of it all, and how miserably we would fail at a high stakes poker game. There's also a new actor playing Eleanor Waldorf with no explanation and we love to see it, not to mention a photo shoot gone awry but MOST IMPORTANTLY we meet the one and only Carter Baizen aka SEBASTIAN STAN YALL. I mean sure, we have questions that include but aren't limited to--why in the name of the heavens is this show so heavy handed on the fedoras? why is dan always eating a snack on his fire escape? why can't Serena pretend to be a lion?--and we want answers ASAP. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL||season 1 ep.3--ITS IVY WEEK WITCHES Oct 06, 2020

Your hosts Hannah Brown (@hannahabrown host of Not Aspirational with Hannah Brown) and Tyler Meredith (@tylermckmeredith host of BDE||big disney energy) are thrust into the dull, rich and beautiful world that is known to the upper east side as IVY WEEK. I mean we honestly can in no way relate, but like the utter northeastern-ness of it all is something we love to see--a sensible Ralph Lauren dream that we want to never wake up from. TBH this ep starts off too high and sets the bar at a level that makes it impossible or the rest of this weeks story line to live up to. And that's all thanks to the iconic musical stylings of the one, the only, the incomparable: THE DUCHESS, FERGIE. The Constance girls acapella cover of GLAMOROUS is arguably one of the single best moments of the entire series. So perfect that it almost makes us forget the terrible floppy hat that S. wears at the end this ep---ALMOST, but not quite. XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL||S.1 EP2--is it a THREE WAY OR D-DAY? Sep 29, 2020

We chat the difficulties about shopping with others and how we are always looking to FEEL JOVANI, a wee dash of VPR pregnancies and gender reveals, your bravo favs pay us a visit, the difficulties of working in the THEATAAAH, how its still NOT ABOUT THE PASTA. But seriously--we are actually here to talk about GG and casually reference Shakespeare, green juice, how Dan has big Tyler Durden from Fight Club energy, how ordering water at a coffee shop is a power move, how Dan is QUIRKY-WE GET IT, MOVE ON! XOXO H & T

GOSSIP GIRL||SEASON 1. PILOT|| lets embark on this epic upper east side journey together Sep 22, 2020

Your hosts Hannah brown(@hannahabrown and host of Not Aspirational with Hannah brown) and Tyler Meredith(@tylermckmeredith and host of BDE||big disney energy) begin their GG journey with the 2007 Pilot episode and it is a JOURNEY. Like, dear CW we have questions: 1. How was this pilot approved for network TV? 2. HOW DARE THEY PUT BLAIR WALDORF IN A SENSIBLE PAIR OF FLATS? 3. Is this series just a montage of a one S. van der Woodsen staring off moodily at things? We want answers. You will also be gifted all the info you never wanted but maybe are excited to receive I.E. our autumnal aspirational decor, our longing for a structured school uniform and how we always were and always/forever will be TEAM BLAIR. xoxo H & T
