Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over how to finish their podcast about the scandalous lives of the Upper East Side exactly three years (!) after it first started. This week, the duo come full circle, revisiting the pilot and discussing season 6 episode 10 of The CW's Gossip Girl, entitled "New York, I Love You XOXO." A+A debate their favorite episodes, pun titles, guest stars, parties and music moments. How did our spiraled path bring us here? What would our reunion shows look like? Where do we stand on Dan's Game of Thrones winning move? Is Aaron Serena? Is Nate the biggest tragedy of the show? How many Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants quotes can Andy fit in before the end? How many guys that your bride-to-be has had sex with do you want at your wedding? Where did the dogs go? Do we have any answers? Do any of us? It's been a scandalous journey and thanks so much for joining us. We love you. Just remember every time you walk away or run away you take a piece of Gossip Guys with you there. Here's to the next crazy adventure. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over the PENULTIMATE episode of Gossip Girl, entitled "The Revengers." We're circling the wagons to prepare for the end in the "Empire Strikes Back" middle installment of the three-part finish line. We eulogize (AGAIN/FINALLY) Bart Bass, cast the characters as Avengers, rap about Nate and The Captain, check in with our long lost Fantasy teams, and play our last round of "Never Have I Ever." Sniff. It's emotional stuff. We also bring back one of the central arguments of the show: Do people really change? But wait, there's more. Do you have to cross the line to know where the line is? Does a moral compass (Rufus) that no one listens to really exist? What's next for Aaron and Andy? We seek answers to these questions, and so much more. This week, the "Charade" is coming to an end. Or has it just begun? XOXO. Brought to you by TV Time.

This week, A+A discuss Dan's Machiavellian plan, to win "the game," plot Aaron's growing roots, dish on Georgina as mentor figure and try to tell the truth about Serena. Is Serena an object in the game or running it? Where do Aaron's shipping allegiances lie? Is Dan doing all this for the life or for the girl? Are we witnessing almost good writing? Is it too late for Nate? If "there's no winning without Serena," what does that mean? We seek answers and discover more questions along the way. Brought to you by TV Time. XOXO.

We seek the answers to these questions, and more. XOXO. Brought to you by TV Time.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season six episode six of The CW's Gossip Girl, entitled "Where the Vile Things Are." This week in honor of Maurice Sendak we begin with a fairy tale authored by Hans Christian Aaronson -- "The Three Queens." From there, it's pure UES shit show, as Andy rewrites the Dan and Serena comeback tour. But are we ready for Dan and Serena? What can get us there? Can you come back from cooking the books? How unnecessary is Chuck's father storyline? Why doesn't Serena model for B? Can Rufus be ruined AGAIN? Where do YOU hide your oil deals? The Congo or The Roommate? Why are you hiding, Danielle Steel? Is Andy the only one who remembers Bex? All these answers and more come at you this week, as we ride the creepy vespa of love. XOXO. Brought to you by TV Time.

Andy's Quotes ventures into the book from which the episode title comes from, Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady. How gross is this show? Have Lily and Serena had sex with everyone? Is there a better term than horse show? Is Andy the only one left who wants to go camping? Aaron prefers a mansion in the woods.

Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 4, episode 3 of The CW's Gossip Girl, entitled "The Undergraduates." This week, the pair bring on Twitter Winner Jessica (@jmy143) to discuss Gossip Girl Clue and Monopoly, and visit with Dr. Elvis (@elviskaboom) to discuss roommate problems. In addition, we answer the important questions: Are Betty & Veronica the next Blair & Serena? Do we HAVE to watch Eva get ruined? How awful was the Diaper Dan subplot? Is Lily back to being good? And what is Aaron's dream retirement spot? These answers, and more this week. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 4, episode 2 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Double Identity." This week, Double-A takes a trip to the Oscars and talks La La Land, sandwiches, dreams, and Serena's choice of pastries: Dan and Nate. Vanessa makes us sad, The Plaid Boys (Dan and Nate) make us stupid, and Chuck and Blair make us frustrated. Aaron continues his guide to Falling in Love, and we ask: What does Blair really want? Would she be happy with a Prince? XOXO.

SUPER SIZE EPISODE! Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over the final two episodes of season 3 of The CW's "Gossip Girl." This week, the J-Apocalypse arrives and none of us will ever be the same. Elvis Kunesh (@elviskunesh) of the Tom Hanksgiving Podcast (@tomhankspod) joins to host some trivia, as we say goodbye to the mercurial, tornado shitstorm scared little girl that is Jenny Humphrey with some Chuck/Jenny fanfic. Is William's scheme the best on the show? Do we love Chuck's Affair to Remember play for Blair? What are our thoughts on Dan's hairy chest? Is Georgina REALLY pregnant? Have we seen the last of Nate the Great? Has Andy forgotten everything from the show? IS CHUCK DEAD? Where do we go from here? Those answers and more are here for you. Until next season, XOXO.

This week, A-squared are joined by "Bizaardvark" actress Jenny Stumme (@jennystumme) and dialogue coach Laura James (@alaurajames). The quartet Bing Cancer, discuss dating age gaps, want Blair to level up and become the Ray Donovan fixer of the Upper East Side and start the Headband Club. Does Serena have the Robin Hood of vaginas -- robs the intellectual rich (Dan), gives to the intellectual poor (Nate)? Does Brooklyn bring out the worst in people? Can we see Blair and Chuck murder each other? Does a dialogue coach approve of Ed Westwick's accent? Should we all get high and watch "Fifty Shades of Grey"? Why is Little J a bad Big Bad? How old is Chuck in penis years? Why is Serena so quick to kick Rufus out of her family? Does Andy hate anything more than ordering fruit at a restaurant? These answers and more coming at you this week. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 19 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Dr. Estrangeloved." This week, the gentlemen are joined by the wonderful Jamie Stephens (@jamielaur) of Questionable Viewing Habits (@QVH_podcast) and Oreo Improv. She wants to kill the emasculating Lily, the wet blanket Rufus and the hypocrite Vanessa, and isn't shy about how she'd do it, as the gang talks Chuck choosing his sense of self over Blair, William Baldwin's lying sack of shit William Van der Woodsen, fatwas and Dark Jenny's lack of intelligence. Who would win in a murder off on Friends? Can we forgive Chuck? Does Aaron champion alcoholism as a life choice? Have you ever wished you lived on the Upper East Side? And why are Dan and Vanessa so awful for each other? These answers are more are HERE on the Upper East Side and beyond. XOXO.
Spotted, Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 18 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Unblairable Lightness of Being." Where's Andy? Following Chair's breakup and a rough 2016, he's too distraught to podcast in 2017...until Dorota and Vanya's beautiful wedding and the prospect of a new love interest for Eric resurrects his spirit. Aaron thinks Chuck is getting his life back. Andy disagrees. Aaron is willing to whore out Andy for the success of the podcast. Andy disagrees. Aaron "Annie Hall"'s Andy and tries to teach him about life. Andy disagrees. Aaron gets philosophical: you can't step in the same pond twice. Finally, Andy agrees. If Andy and Aaron agree, is there hope for Chuck and Blair? Listen to this week's episode to find out, and discover even more disagreements. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron crying over season 3, episode 17 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Inglorious Bassterds." We knew the day would come when Chuck and Blair would break up, and it's finally here, and Gossip Guys will never be the same. Andy's broken and wonders if the show has finally gone too far -- he feels dirty and can't come to terms with what has happened. Aaron cries, but he's been here before. All the while, Hurricane Jenny is coming in the wake of this shitstorm, ready to ruin our lives once more. While Chuck and Blair will get back together, is this the end of Chair? Is all hope lost? This is the episode that most feels like 2016 as a year. Weep with us, hold us, and cry with us. Until next year. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 16 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Empire Strikes Jack." It's ROGUE ONE WEEK and we have a very special guest: Podfather Kevin T. Porter of Gilmore Guys (@KevinTPorter, @GilmoreGuysShow). Jack is back, along with all the uncomfortable connotations that come with it. Kevin talks the Gilmore Girls revival and brings his outside perspective to the Upper East Side and has some concerns. He doesn't get Chuck Bass (and is worried about the cultural ramifications), he likes Vanessa and bemoans the lack of diversity in the show and its lack of theme song. The trio also discuss Lady Gaga, the bell curve of attractiveness levels of TV parents on teen dramas, another laughable episode of "Serena Schemes," CBS sitcoms and if actors know the quality of the material they sign up for. That and so much more awaits you, Lonely Boys and Girls. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over season 3, episode 15 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Sixteen Year Old Virgin." Jack Bass is back and the J-Pocalypse is brewing, and the Upper East Side will never be the same. A+A answer all the tough questions this week: Is Jenny losing her V-card to Damien or Dirty Dancing? Are Rufus and Lily entering a Gone Girl situation? What the hell is up with Dan and Vanessa's zones? What's the rule on third dates? Those answers and more await you, Lonely Boys and Girls. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 14 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Lady Vanished." A+A welcome Anna and Neza from The Hara Club podcast (@theharaclub / http://haraclub.podbean.com/) to discuss ghosting, the good intentions of Serena, girls in guy's dress shirts, Damien's attractiveness or lack thereof and the horrors of Dan and Vanessa. Can you go back to being friends after being sexually intimate? Can Jenny be saved? Would Nate have prevented Dark Jenny? Is there more to Nate and Serena than pretty people sex? What the hell is going on with Chuck's (Not?) Mom? Have we had sex on rollercoasters? All these questions and more are answered on this week's rousing installment. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 13 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Hurt Locket." This week, A+A talk about Chuck's Mom, a phone call you don't want to miss, Rufus' possible affair with 24A, Jenny's super secret drug dealing coat and Nate and Serena as relationship leftovers. Are they the dregs, or supreme? Depends on your view of leftovers. Much more gossip to come. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 12 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Debarted." This week, A+A are joined by writer Elana Goldberg (@edawn2015, elanagoldberg.wordpress.com) to talk about the awful, horrible, no good, very bad Serena and Tripp relationship, the BART GHOST and join in on a steamy Serena/Tripp fanfiction. Andy finally admits that Bart Bass is dead, Aaron fears Andy will become Rufus, Elana defends her love of Lily Bass, and the trio discuss the difficulty of balancing love and work, why Serena doesn't deserve Nate, and try to cast Chuck's Mom. Get in that Empire State of Mind. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 11 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Treasure of Serena Madre." It's that time of year again on the Upper East Side: THANKSGIVING! Everyone is invited. After all, secrets come out during the holidays. This week, A+A sing Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say," talk about how Eric can never beat Jenny, whether or not Rufus has given up, being a politician's wife, and the rough transition from friends to sexual relations that Dan and Vanessa are undergoing. Two jackets. One letter. Welcome to one of Aaron's favorite episodes. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 10 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Last Days of the Disco Stick." This week, A+A welcome the only people that can overshadow Lady Gaga: Lizzie and Kat from the Beverly Hills 90210 and Law & Order: SVU themed The Blaze! Podcast (@90210blaze). The quartet talk about how 90210 made Gossip Girl possible and make connections between the two shows, the fallout of the infamous Dan-Vanessa-Olivia threesome, the fair use (or lack thereof) of NYU and meeting Josh Schwartz. In addition, Lizzie and Kat come armed with gossip about Connor Paolo and Leighton Meester's family life. But best of all, these four act out an erotic fanfiction retelling Dan's threesome. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 9 of The CW’s “Gossip Girl,” entitled “They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?” HAPPY HALLOWEEN/COTILLION EVERYONE! This week, Dan has a threesome and the universe might be coming to an end as A&A discuss the consequences of carnal desires, the unwritten rules and harsh realities of threesomes, the moronic decisions of Serena and Aaron's OK Cupid "game." While Andy still believes in the good of humanity, a (sober) Aaron is breaking him down, because Tripp is headed toward a scandal and Eric has now become Dirty E. The Upper East Side is forever unclean. But at least it's a fashion award bonanza, with Dark Jenny 2.0 looking like a Queen. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 8 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Grandfather Part II." The rancorous duo welcome Kay (@KayRight) from The Seriously Grey's Podcast (@tsgpodcast) and Karly from the Talking Shondaland podcast (@talkingshonda) and Core Temp Arts podcast network (coretemparts.com). This exquisite quartet discuss Jimmy Fallon's sex appeal, Madonna's sex book, the sexy game of Scrabble and the elusively named Brandeis. They try to make sense of Dan being Gossip Girl and come up with several theories (multiple personality disorder! Dan is also A!), while showering love on the delightful Dorota. For this rare Nate-centric episode (alt title: Manchurian Candinate), it's election time in the Upper East Side, and we thankfully ignore any connection to our current one, and instead focus on the murky political depths we find during the election of future NY congressman Tripp Van der Bilt. Is he corruptible? Is everyone? Would Blair be the Queen without Dorota? Is season 3 peak Gossip Girl? Are we done with Blair and Serena's friendship? Can we instead get Dawn of Jenny: Blair v. Serena? All these questions and more are answered this week. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 7 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "How to Succeed in Bassness." 50TH EPISODE ALERT and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This week the acrimonious duo bicker about the nature of power and how it's crack for Not-So-Little J, how Dan has become George Costanza and wonder if domesticity is the end of Rufus Humphrey as we know it. The Guys give stock tips and wonder if Netflix can possibly keep up their spending, and attempt to answer the question: What do Chuck and Blair need from each other? All that and more this week. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 6 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Enough About Eve." This week, writer/improviser/headband enthusiast Anna Halligan (@AnnamalHalligan) joins for a very hungry episode of the pod, where we talk #foodmoves while dating, boxed water and dollop on some Serena hate, alongside a dramatic rendition of a Serena and Carter Baizen fanfiction. We meet Gina Torres as Vanessa's awful mother, and feel bad for Jessica Sczhor. Who is the patient zero of herpes on the show? Is Dan's idiocy all a cover to avoid suspicion of being Gossip Girl? How boring would an Eric spinoff show be? Could Carter handle manual labor? Have you ever dreamt in the Gossip Girl world? Answers to these questions, and more, await. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 5 of The CW's Gossip Girl, entitled "Rufus Getting Married." This week, Rufus and Lily finally get married, but it's no cake walk as evidenced by our "Welcome Back, Kotter" themed fanfiction. A-squared discuss why everyone "loves" Serena, 2009 netbooks, Aaron's dream of an Upper East Side Apocalypse and Andy's predictions about Georgina and Carter. Aaron's cautiously optimistic about Rufus and Lily's nuptials, which is saying a lot since this is the third time he's seen the show. Add in a bunch of life lessons you should ignore, and you have another jam-packed week of GG. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3, episode 4 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Dan De Fleurette." This week, the rambunctious bros welcome the ladies of The Shipping Room (@ShippingRoomPod), Tamar (@writertqb) and Christine (@ChrissyMarie47), and the quarrelsome quartet discuss Peak Humphrey hotness, Peak Crawford, Peak Chuck hair and the result is Peak Gossip Guys and a mini installment of "The Nipping Room." But wait, there's more: they discuss the dangers of road head, the arrival of Hilary Duff, the guest star turn by Tyra Banks and Christine's surprising lack of lust for the cast. Blair continues to embarrass herself, and we're tired of it. Dan tells everybody everything, but no one tells Dan their real name. Is Rufus helping with Serena? Could he have done more? Aaron defends Lily while no one else is having it. Is Gossip Girl's New York smaller than Stars Hollow? When will Andy start hating this show? Is Dan celebrity catnip? Was Vanessa used improperly or should she never have been added to the show? Why does Aaron hate Sutton Foster? Answers to these questions and more are coming, along with some startling realizations. Forgetting your wallet when you go to a coffee shop IS a move, guys. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron discussing season 3, episode 3 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Lost Boy." A+A welcome the illustrious Neely (@neelykins) of ItStartsWithCoffee.com to the show, who has a unique relationship to the show. The trio discuss Chuck's all-in move, Dan/Georgina, the Josh Hartnett classic "40 Days and 40 Nights," the similarities between "Beverly Hills 90210" and GG, walk of shames, pregnancy scares, playing Truth or Dare and the collective desire for a Carter Baizen spinoff series (Get Carter/Agent Carter). Where does Rufus rank among the great TV Dads? Who's the lost boy? Was Aaron the only one who watched Gossip Girl in its entirety when it aired? How does baseball and football connect to Gossip Girl? These answers and more await you, Upper East Siders. XOXO.

Andy loves how college looks on Dan, Aaron teaches Andy the meaning of "Bridge and Tunnel," and many more secrets of life are revealed. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 3 episode 1 of The CW's Gossip Girl, entitled "Reversals of Fortune." Andy knows who Gossip Girl is. NOW WHAT? A LOT MORE Andy predictions: when will Chuck and Blair break up? When will Dark Jenny reappear? A&A also discuss what Dan as Gossip Girl means for the show, looking for reasons for it to make sense and why he would become GG. The bickering duo talk roleplaying (as in the sexy kind), honeymoon phases in relationships, Rufus going soft, Chuck and Blair's reindeer games, the world's worst ship in Vanessa and Scott, Nate's newest fling Bree Buckley (JoAnna Garcia) and judge Vanessa's judginess. What would the show look like if Georgina were a regular? Does Carter really care about Serena? Do we care about Serena? Who's winning the show right now? Unlike other shows, was the transition to college good for Gossip Girl? A+A answer these questions and more in their return from the #SummerofSerena. XOXO.
Spotted, the working version of Andy and Aaron arguing over life's greatest mysteries with returning special guests Agata (@echo_mint) and Katie McCuen (@katiemccuen) in a drinking version of Never Have I Ever. If there's an episode that will win us an Emmy, this isn't it. Remember listeners: drink responsibly. This week Andy learns the truth about Gossip Girl. Everyone gets embarrassed: Andy about not making out in movie theaters, Katie about her high school prom and Legend of Tarzan, Aaron about his dark secret and Agata for witnessing it all. The quartet talks avoiding ex's, crushing on a friend's significant other, Aaron's OK Cupid game, Katie's lack of game, Andy's mystery roommate, UnReal and Taylor Kitsch's career in a very therapeutic episode for all involved. XOXO, Gossip Guys.

What are the parallels between Serena and Krista? Who do you take: Sebastian Stan or Aaron Tveit? This episode delivers answers to all these and more. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about the new Chace Crawford & Aaron Tveit baseball comedy "Undrafted." A+A play "Fantasy Gossip Girl," predicting who will have the best career from now on.

They talk father and sons, the best sport for sports movies and supporting independent film. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
[MINISODE] Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over Woody Allen's "Café Society" as the #SummerofSerena continues. Following "The Shallows," the dreaming duo bicker over Blake Lively's range, her career, what's next for the star and Jewish delis. The duo tackle the big questions: Blake Lively or Kristen Stewart?

[SEASON FINALE] Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 25 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Goodbye Gossip Girl." This week the belligerent duo bicker about graduation, how waffles and "waffling" is the show's central metaphor, who Gossip Girl really is, Lily and Rufus' forthcoming nuptials, Nate Archibland, Brooklyn Dan becoming Upper East Side Dan, the year-end awards, Blair and Jenny's relationship and the passing of the Queen baton and compare GG to Game of Thrones. Why did it take Chuck so long to say the three words? What's going to happen in Fiji with Serena and Carter? What's happening in season 3? Did Nate make a huge mistake choosing backpacking/Vanessa over a gig at the Mayor's office? Is Lily and Rufus' long lost son Scott a psycho stalker murderer? Are we all Gossip Girl? There's a lot to unpack as we look ahead to season 3, and this is the episode where Aaron finally admits his feelings for Andy. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 24 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Valley Girls." This week, the loud-mouthed duo bring in Tamar Barbash (@writertqb) of The Shipping Room Podcast (@ShippingRoomPod) to discuss her deep-seated hatred of Jenny and the would-be backdoor pilot which introduced the world to the lovely Brittany Snow as Lily and the wonderful Krysten Ritter as Lily's sister Carol. The trio bicker about the efficacy of the back door pilot, the parallels between Lily and Serena and Lily and Cece, Blair and Serena's bullshit friendship (but are they sisters?), Serena's questionable jail logic, the fate of the Minions after high school, the easiest ballot stuffing ever, prom experiences and an all-time moment in Chair (and shipping) history. When do flawed characters become TOO flawed and unwatchable? Does Chuck HAVE to say the 3 words out loud? How awful is April Fool's Day? Why is Gwen Stefani in this episode?

"The Shallows" pits Blake against a deadly shark off the shore of a "secret beach," where all hell predictably breaks loose. The toothsome duo debate Blake Lively's career post-Gossip Girl, and position her against the other cast, while talking sharks, Steven Seagull, Ryan Reynolds, sunscreen and how everyone should go see this movie. The Summer of Serena continues with Woody Allen's "Cafe Society" on July 15th. Stay tuned. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 23 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Wrath of Con." Guess what guys?! Aaron is hard/tumescent/engorged. Why, you ask/cringe? You can tell Jesus the bitch is back. The splendiferous duo bicker about the essentials: Star Trek, Sex or Scheming, using money to solve your problems, Rufus and Lily reliving the same fight for 20 years and Poppy Lifton's poppetry. A&A offer parental wisdom, applaud Jenny for keeping her nose clean and welcome back the non-judgy Breakfast Club for the end of another GG season. They also wonder who Nate's #1 is, and if anyone has Nate as their #1 on the show? Poor Nate. Who likes food and sex? That and more this week. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over season 2, episode 22 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." This week A+A welcome Andy's college friend and food photographer Kaitlyn McQuaid (@kmcquaid on Instagram) to the program to discuss her many gripes about the Upper East Side. Kaitlyn started watching the show BECAUSE of the podcast, and then binged it because they weren't going fast enough. The result has left her with mixed feelings about our favorite characters. The trio discuss toe rings, Serena and Gabriel (Armie Hammer), Gabriel's luscious locks, another dose of Rufus sadness and example of Brooklyn being gullible, Blair and Serena's one-sided friendship and Vanessa's college plans. Are secrets Dan's viagra? What is up with Chuck's sports wear and where can we buy his outfits? What are Poppy Lifton's motivations with this con? Does Gossip Girl's addiction to conflict hurt the show? These three kids try to get to the bottom of these mysteries, while Aaron auditions for a summer fling, Law & Order: SVU gets some serious love, Daddy and Mommy issues are broken down and Kaitlyn is still bitter about not getting the lead in a high school play. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 21 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Seder Anything." This week, the duo argue over what Harry Potter houses the cast would be sorted into, Jenny's Cinderella metaphor, the awkward and awfulness that is Chuck and Jenny, STD's in the Upper East Side, Dan's catering job, and whether or not Aaron is a millennial. Andy couldn't get into NYU, Aaron threw his retainer in the trash, Rufus is oblivious and it all comes back to Winter Soldier when these two rank the power wattage of the show's guest stars Aaron Tveit, Armie Hammer and Sebastian Stan against the main ensemble. In addition, we get another tease into why Aaron was expelled, get pumped for Blake Lively in "The Shallows," Andy's "Georgy" sense is tingling and the show becomes a Dawson's Creek podcast for a solid ten minutes. Are Dorota and Vanya part of a syndicate? What are Gabriel and Poppy Lifton up to? What's the next stop for Rufus? Who's more easily manipulated: Nate or Serena? Answers to these questions and more dominate "Seder Anything." XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 20 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Remains of the J." This week, the vociferous duo welcome writer and GG super fan Kristin Craik (@kristincognito) to the show to discuss Little J's Sweet Sixteen, Chuck and Vanessa's canoodling and the lack of chemistry between Nate and Blair. Kristin isn't the only one showing up this week: ARMIE HAMMER arrives on the Upper East Side as the mysterious Gabriel, because it's that time of season for Serena's haunted past to come to roost. Dan gets a fan and Andy is the only one sympathizes with Team D and Team Vanessa this week. The trio pitch "Pink Eye Investigations," a Gossip Girl murder mystery show with Chuck Bass as a PI, discuss how annoying Serena is this episode and reminisce about bonding with roommates over Gossip Girl. Is Poppy Lifton another more even-keeled Georgina/Agnes? Would you rather have a rager, a chili & sloppy joe board game night or a soiree? Why can't Rufus just take the money? These questions and more are answered. Also, Bart's dead. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 19 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Grandfather." Carter Baizen returns! So does Andy's favorite awful Rufus love interest Bex (Jill Flint)! The acerbic duo bicker over Godfather 3, this New Bad Blair, Nate and Vanessa, Nate and Blair, "the chase," Carter's bold hand on the thigh move, the Vanderbilt's and the problems with money. What does Chuck really want? Is Dan or Vanessa better suited for the Upper East Side? When will Dan realize that he's ensconced in the Upper East Side? How sad is it when you don't remember family vacations? Does Aaron really have a wolf guy? Would Andy choose legacy over love? Who's manipinating Nate in this episode? WHO IS NATE?! The GG attempt to answer these questions and more this week, but one thing is clear: everyone needs to go to the Ostroff center, including your faithful co-hosts. #WheresEric. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2 episode 18 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Age of Dissonance." The boys welcome actress-improviser Elyssa Phillips (@elyssamp, elyssaphillips.com) to the pod. She's watched the show over 7 times all the way through and worked as a Gossip Girl tour guide in New York, and is NOT a fan of the Humphrey clan. Elyssa and Aaron don't mince their words this week, as the trio discuss hooking up offstage, the continuing annoyance of Dan and Serena and how DEAD Bart Bass is. BREAKING NEWS: Vanessa is Aaron's favorite character this week, a first in podcast history. In addition, the male version of Georgina Sparks, Carter Baizen (another C.B.) returns to the Upper East Side to ruin lives and have sex with Blair. The trio act out Dan and Serena fanfiction and talk all the important issues. Like, how many is too many candles? Is Jenny the world's worst note giver? Would you have sex with Nelly Yuki in a fat suit? Can you have ENOUGH Dawson's Creek references? Does anyone have a worst taste in men than Serena? When's Georgina coming back? Is Dorota Gossip Girl? Is Andy basically Dan? When will Blair get better? How tired are we of Yale? SOO many questions. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2 episode 17 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Carrnal Knowledge." This week the duo rip Harold Waldorf a new asshole, praise Nelly Yuki, ponder if Chuck is ready for a Secret Society and whether or not they want to be Ms. Carr'd (since when is Dan a wanted man?). Aaron takes a surprising side: he's all Team Dan this episode, whereas Andy is uncomfortable about the whole thing. They discuss cheating, sex and the never-ending back and forth between Dan/Serena and Rufus/Lily. Love shouldn't be so hard, guys. We talk about the loves of our lives, dirty talk, work flirts and celebrate the absence of raccoon eyes on Taylor Momsen. How many references can Andy make to Dawson's Creek? What are the dirtiest things we'd allow Ms. Carr to do to us? Warning: this episode gets lewd, but take this helpful advice from Hustler: "Relax. It's just sex." The boys discuss how damaging "Gossip Girl" and other teen dramas are for your real-life relationships and wonder how powerful Blair would be without Dorota. All this and more this week on Gossip Guys. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 16 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "You've Got Yale!" This week features a very special guest: actress Emma Demar (@emmadayledemar), who played A FRIGGIN' MINION. Meet Elise Wells from season 1. Emma talks working with Taylor Momsen and what it was like to be Jenny's best friend, crushing on Ed Westwick, the unique set life on "Gossip Girl," and the wonderful forward nature of Leighton Meester. The trio talk opera, the nice Lily/Chuck relationship, hating Asher, haircuts, the introduction of Rachel Carr, "stepcest" and the complete unredeemability of Blair Waldorf. We learn the differences between "pulling an Emma" and "pulling an Aaron" and that even on set, nobody understood where Vanessa came from. On a more serious note, Emma also shares her experiences with anorexia nervosa, the misconceptions of eating disorders, the pressures of TV and gave advice to those out there suffering from ED. Please check out her incredibly insightful blog (http://edoneds.blogspot.com/) for more information.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2, episode 15 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Gone with the Will." The explicit duo are disappointed with Chuck Bass this week, are shipping Dan and Nate and wonder why the hell Dan has to tell Vanessa EVERYTHING. It never ends well. This week, A+A argue about tuna sandwiches, Nate/Vanessa, if third time's the charm for Dan and Serena, Dark Nelly Yuki (AKA The Duke), selfish Rufus and kissing in the rain. If Dan and Serena aren't forever, what's the point of all this? Why can't Blair and Chuck run a business together? If Rufus can't save himself, how can he save another kid? Is Jenny the world's worst third wheel? Why does Aaron want to be an Episode 7 Luke Skywalker level hermit? All the answers are here, along with Part 2 of A+A's rousing/insane Rufus and Lily fanfiction reading. This episode is not sponsored by Hebrew National. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about season 2, episode 14 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "In the Realm of the Basses." This week, the angry duo welcome "Bizaardvark" and "Adi Shankar's Gods and Secrets" actress and wholesome Iowa lady Jenny Stumme (@jennystumme) to the podcast. The avid GG fan and USC alum reveals her Josh Schwartz connection, talks about dating con men and her love of Chair. The trio discuss Little J returning to school (finally), wearing seatbelts in limos, Aaron's phobia of traveling with significant others, hash, and a heaping portion of incest. "It's a boy" is not only a reality for Rufus, but it should be his next hit single. Could you date someone whose Mother/Father had a kid with YOUR Mother/Father? That's the dilemma facing Dan and Serena and us all. We welcome the POS Jack Bass to the show. Is his brand of smarmy fun to watch? Is Nelly Yuki the Keyser Soze of "Gossip Girl"? Would you rather be overdressed or underdressed to a party? Can Aaron be any more wrong about 'Daredevil'? Could Dark Jenny take down ANYONE on the show, including Blair? Are we safe from Agnes? Are we ever safe on the Upper East Side? Tune in for the answers, our Minion rankings and a tawdry production of a Eric and Jenny fanfiction. XOXO.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2 episode 13 of The CW's seminal series "Gossip Girl," entitled "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?" The duo announce Chuck Bass' candidacy for Presidency and the Republican nominee over Donald Trump. Bart's dead, but Andy isn't buying it in this special love and death episode, with a funeral and a wedding. Aaron condones murder and serenades Serena, while Andy comes to grips with the fact that Aaron Rose is his Vanessa. The duo discuss why CeCe always wins, and why this is the episode where Chuck wins everyone over. Forever. Which is what Blair and Chuck are, if they could get out of each other's way. In darkness, there is light. Or something like that. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2 episode 12 of The CW's seminal series "Gossip Girl," entitled "It's a Wonderful Lie." This week, the duo welcomes Andy's sister Robin Greene (@robin_greene on Instagram) to the fold for some juicy family gossip. Brooklyn-based Robin offers a behind the scenes scoop about Taylor Momsen's photo shoot with Maxim, and shares her Penn Badgley Bushwick experience. Rest assured, Dan sympathy runs in the family (#TeamBrooklyn). It's almost Christmas on the Upper East side, which means it's Dan and Serena's sex-iversary and apparently time for group dates with exes and another bout of nervous penis. Which begs all kinds of questions. Can you remain friends with your exes? Can you be a good person AND successful or do you have to choose? Are the limo drivers the undercover Gossip Girl syndicate? Are they Pretty and Reckless or Pretty Reckless? The trio answer these tough questions and discuss the world's worst love triangle (Jenny/Nate/Vanessa), piercings, parties gone wrong, Aaron's "Working Girls" fanfic about Serena's boobs, launch the "Where's Eric?" marketing campaign and much more. This episode is (not) sponsored by Dylan's Candy Bar. xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about episode 29 of The CW's seminal teen drama "Gossip Girl," entitled "The Magnificent Archibalds." Happy Thanksgiving, but, waitaminute...are the Archibalds really magnificent? Have they ever been? Probably not. Someone who is magnificent is Cyrus Rose, something A+A can agree on. The angry duo talk about the merciful end of "The Captain" storyline and hopefully a new beginning for Nate, Bart's surveillance, Andy's growing hatred for Aaron Rose, the unholy carnage that is Jenny Humphrey and poor Rufus, and whether we can get behind Nate and Vanessa as a couple. Spoiler alert: Aaron will never get behind anything Vanessa does. xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over season 2 episode 10 of The CW's seminal series "Gossip Girl," entitled "Bonfire of the Vanity." This week, the fellas welcome former CW employee, self-professed Dan lover, and current country singer Sarah Louie Kegan (@sarahlouiekegan), who worked on GG from season 3 to the end in "Current Programming," focusing on continuity. Whenever Jenny teleports from Manhattan to Brooklyn with no rhyme or reason, we now know who to blame. We also know who to blame for one of the most insightful and Gossip-filled episodes of the show, as S regales us with stories of Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford and Taylor Momsen from the set and beyond, and telling us who's the nicest. S&A&A also talk Aaron Rose's creepy sex lairs, kissing, homeschooling and the introduction of a fan favorite character: Wallace Shawn's Cyrus! NOT ENOUGH?! The trio also share vomiting stories, compare Bart Bass to Robert Durst, Agnes with the Joker, and wish Serena would put on some pants in this special Blair 18th birthday extravaganza episode. "Screw Grace Kelly. I'm gonna scheme." xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about Season 2 Episode 9 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," "There Might Be Blood." There's definitely blood in the water this week, as everybody's in DANger of being too lonely. Andy dreams of a Pacey and Tim Riggans sandwich. Aaron remembers Surge and Jerry Springer, while worrying about the emptiness of reboots. Do we want Nate and Jenny to happen? Do Nate and Jenny want Nate and Jenny to happen? Who IS Serena really? She's Two-Face, that's who, and blinded by scarves, because Aaron Rose is the worst fucking character. What's wrong with Blair? WHY IS IT YALE OR NOTHING FOR EVERYBODY? Is Dark Jenny good TV? Can there be a Middle Jenny? Does an artist have to be unhappy to succeed? Has Aaron ever done Gossip Girl roleplay in the bedroom? A&A answer these questions and more in an episode that also FINALLY addresses sports apparel etiquette, a long-awaited topic from Gossip Guys. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over the Season 2 Episode 8 episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Pret-a-Poor-J." A&A welcome their first MALE guest to the show with Trends with Benefits podcast (twb.cool) co-host July Diaz (@julygdiaz). This week is an experiment: A+A pop July's "Gossip Girl" cherry, as THIS is the first and only episode of the show that July has ever watched. The trio discuss the awkward situation that is watching GG with your family, the arrival of Willa Holland's Agnes (or Georgina 0.7), the neverending cycle (nice advice-judgy-life ruiner-great apology) of Dan (he's Groundhog Day), Aaron Rose (the next Carter Baizen) and Law & Order: SVU crossover creepy serial killer Max. Is Nate good for Jenny? Is anything good for Jenny? What does Rufus do? Why can't Chuck and Blair just say those 3 words? That and a whole lot of vulgar guy talk this week. #SchemeandChill with us. xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about The CW's seminal soap opera, "Gossip Girl." This week, A&A discuss the season 2 episode "Chuck in Real Life," and disagree about Nate and Dan's budding relationship (#Nan #Date), Chuck and Vanessa's brief "thing," sibling secrets, family dinners, Blair and Chuck's bet, and whether or not Bart Bass might actually not be an evil tyrant. Dan pretends to be Nate and we pretend to be loving to one another in this "Full House" wholesome episode...that's also oozing sex. Unsurprisingly, Andy takes the Dark Jenny/X-Men/Dark Phoenix parallel too far. Also included: a deleted scene between Eric and Bart, and pitches for a Roaring Twenties spinoff and a Brooklyn Bass spinoff. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about The CW's "Gossip Girl" season 2 episode "New Haven Can Wait," with special returning guest Agata (@echo_mint). A&A&A discuss trying on younger people clothes, the Nate/Dan "friendship," Bart Bass marriage scenarios, whether it's possible to ever trust Jenny and if Serena's "good girl" image is really just a facade. We pick controversial sides in the Blair vs. Serena debate, Andy continues to find reasons to sympathize with Dan and the trio get nostalgic over the college application process. We also attempt to answer a few indelible questions: Why hasn't Rufus started a Waffle truck? Can Jenny be successful without going full on Dark Jenny? Could Gossip Girl ever leave New York? Why does Rufus let Jenny be homeschooled, following Vanessa's horrible example? If Vanessa is a disease, Gossip Guys is the cure. Tune in for some intellectual stimu-Nate-ion. xoxo.
Spotted, Aaron and Andy arguing over Episode 23 of The CW's "Gossip Girl," "The Serena Also Rises." Summer is FINALLY OVER THANK THE LORD, which means it's Fashion Week, so A&A yell at each other about clothes, Dan's stupid writing, Poppy Lifton's socialite lifestyle, Blair's selfish machinations, Bart's secrets, and the visage of a new, badass Queen in town: Serena. Also: is Eleanor Waldorf incapable of making a good dress on her own? Is this the worst side of Blair? Can Jenny be successful without resorting to Dark Jenny? Your annoying co-hosts stumble upon these answers and more, as the seeds of a return for everyone's least favorite bad girl are planted in this episode. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about Dick Move Dan, Queen S, "Amanda" and Step-cest in season 2 episode "The Ex-Files" of The CW's "Gossip Girl," just in time for the return of the actual "X-Files." A&A welcome actress, Chair lover and Vanessa identifier Katie McCuen (@katiemccuen) to the 'cast for a discussion about how Chace Crawford should've been in 50 Shades of Grey, Dan's band MOTHXR, high school cliques, Lily's bullshit, Harry Dean Stanton and the show's stellar costume design. What's the best role to play in "Gossip Girl"? Don't be a third wheel and find out by tuning in. XOXO, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing Dan and Serena to death in the season 2 episode of "Gossip Girl," "The Dark Night." It'll drive you to drink scotch at 9 in the morning like a certain member of the Bass family who TOTALLY HAS NERVOUS PENIS. A+A drive us all to drink when they argue about sex (way too much), incest and whether Dan and Serena have a good enough reason to break up (who cares at this point?). We laud the New and Improved Jenny Humphrey, who is the Batman of this episode, and the hero the Upper East Side deserves. Dan's probably the Joker. xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about whether The CW's "Gossip Girl" season 2 episode "Never Been Marcused" is any good. The duo argue about whether Mrs. Archibald should be held accountable for her actions like a normal human, Rufus' newest dish (gnocchi) and if he should be on tour or not, Nate's disturbing (and depressing) lack of phone contacts, and if you can ever go back after your first break up. A&A attempt to psychoanalyze the clap trap that is Dan and Serena, and can't make sense of it. AT ALL. xoxo, Gossip Guys.
Spotted, Andy and Arguing about the second season premiere of The CW's "Gossip Girl." It's summer time, and that means the Hamptons and mediocre storytelling for us to disagree about. A&A dissect Chair, Derena, and wearing white, while Andy reads some erotic fan fiction. Welcome back, upper east side. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about the Season 1 finale of The CW's "Gossip Girl." The not-so-dynamic duo go back and forth about Bill Shakespeare, Serena's "Power Girl" dress, the return of Little J, and the end of Andy's Dan-ial. A&D discuss the end of Serena & Dan, the blissful and heartbreaking origins of Chair, Lily's tragic obsession with marriage, and Andy's newfound leniency for Vanessa. They rank the characters, and bicker over already established shipping names. All good things must come to an end in "Much I Do About Nothing," as Andy and Aaron say goodbye...for now. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about Dan. Forever. Emotions come out in embarrassing amounts during this intimate penultimate episode of Season 1 of Gossip Guys, where the Guys analyze the seminal "Gossip Girl" episode "Woman on the Verge."Does Georgina ruin the show? Did Josh Schwartz and company ruin Dan Humphrey's character, or was he never any good to begin with? Saddle up with Rufus' Roadies as A&A talk Peak Blair, the origin of the non-judging Breakfast Club, the evolution of "Dipshit Dan," and that darned Shepard wedding. Does Andy still live in Dan-ial about the whole Danipulation thing? Listen to find out! xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about the good and bad of Dan Humphrey, nervous penises, "Nessa," Dark Jenny and the evil Georgina Sparks from The CW's "Gossip Girl." This week we welcome special guest Sandy Green, who tells us why women love Chuck Bass. We learn that Brooklyn is Gullible, the Humphrey's don't have friends, and come up with the massive crossover movie Minions: Civil War.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about the arrival of Georgina Sparks, whether people can ever really change, and if this is the best Vanessa Abrams has ever been in the fifteenth episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl," entitled "Desperately Seeking Serena." A&A feel bad for the collateral damage that is Nelly Yuki, bemoan how life is Rough-us for Rufus, praise this new Nate, even if he's caught giving one pump or two in Vanessa's infernal cafe. xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron having their first guest to discuss the 14th episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl." Welcome Agata of the podcast Trends with Benefits! The trio argue about the connotations that come with a truffle grilled cheese sandwich, the double standard for Nate and Blair, eating disorders and which minion is which before realizing that no one cares. Andy gets ganged up on while trying (and failing) to defend Dan, they all play fuck-marry-kill, get hungry for face cake, and hate on Jenny. But they all agree on one thing: none of them look as good without showering as Serena Van Der Woodsen. Scheming Blair always trumps mopey Blair in "Blair Bitch Project."
Spotted, Andy and Aaron taking sides in the Chuck and Nate debate, and more importantly, arguing about Dan nonstop, in the thirteenth episode of the first season of The CW's "Gossip Girl": "A Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron dressed for a POOL PARTY and only agreeing on one thing: Vanessa is a life ruiner succubus sent to make the entire (small) island of Manhattan miserable. Rufus and Lily bring Aaron to tears, and naive Andy remains steadfastly on Team Dan, fighting for the truth. There will always be another Queen B, but there will never be another Blair Waldorf in The CW's "Gossip Girl" episode "School Lies."
Spotted, Andy and Aaron spending Christmas yelling at each other over The CW's "Gossip Girl." Mr. Hedge Fund is the world's worst flirter, Allison's "art" is revealed to be a letter-sending prick named Alex, Andy admits his feelings for Chuck, Blair and Jenny each try a misguided attempt at "Parent Trap," while A&A pitch a spinoff show called "Bad Boy Models." Even the 9th most forgotten band of the 90s get Christmas cards in "Roman Holiday."
Spotted, Andy and Aaron gettin' formal for "Hi, Society" and arguing over who's the worst character on The CW's "Gossip Girl." Hungover Andy wants to cross-dress, High Aaron gets emotional over Rufus & Lily, while Blair and Chuck take turns "ManipiNate"-ing. We revel over a rare perfect Dan episode and a win for Brooklyn, yawn over Allison, cower at the OG of the Upper East Side CeCe Rhodes, and desperately want to punch Carter Baizen in his beautiful face. This episode is NOT sponsored by the Guggenheim, or by Chuck Bass' constipated scheming face. #smallisland #WheresEric?
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue about Thanksgiving, Eric's hair, and are faced with the ultimate question: Serena or pie? The answer might surprise you. Or it might not. A&A revel in Vanessa's absence, bungle a Dorota impression and start the world's first Humphrey Fantasy Football League, while pitching a Hey Arnold! and Gossip Girl crossover. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue about the homeless, potentially multiply cloned Hurricane Vanessa Abrams, shoulder nuzzling, the waffle thunder stealing Alison Humphrey, and the future success or lack thereof for ABC's (and Chace Crawford vehicle) Blood & Oil. Plus, the pair write Rufus' new single "Penetrate My Heart," and pitch a season finale whodunnit revolving around the last croissant in "Seventeen Candles." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue about Dan's virginity, teach Vanessa to knock, and do a mean Nate impression. Plus, Aaron wouldn't shut his phone off, as the Gossip Guys soak up all that dramz in "Victor/Victrola." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing about cocaine, waffles vs. croissants, teleporting Batman Jenny (and Robin Dan), and Vin Diesel comedies, while sharing their mutual hatred of Vanessa (who's the Oliver of GG).
Lessons learned: Every day is a Saturday on the Upper East Side. Gossiping hurts, guys. xoxo.
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over title puns, first dates, Truth or Dare and more, during "Dare Devil," the fifth episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron argue over Blood & Oil's prospects, hair product, cuban sandwiches and TCBY, while witnessing the weekly Re-Dan-ption during "Bad News Blair," the fourth episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron arguing over Ivy League schools and Prom, while analyzing the third episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron extolling the virtues of brunch, playing Never Have I Ever and analyzing the second episode of The CW's "Gossip Girl." xoxo
Spotted, Andy and Aaron re-introducing the world to The CW's classic teen drama "Gossip Girl" with a podcast revealing the universal truths of the Upper East Side. xoxo
