Hey Upper East Siders and all you scandal-loving listeners out there! Welcome back to the Non Judging Breakfast Pod, where the coffee is strong, the waffles are fresh, and the gossip is hotter than ever. Join Leif, your seasoned Gossip Girl veteran, and Steve, the newbie diving into the Upper East Side for the first time.
This week, we dive into Gossip Girl season 1, episode 17, titled “Woman on the Verge”. Original air date: May 12, 2008.
Join us as we dissect the drama, romance, and sometimes questionable fashion choices from this iconic 2007 series. We break down the intense moments with Serena, the non-judging breakfast club dynamics, and the shocking revelations that keep us on the edge of our seats. Plus, we discuss the deeper emotional moments, like Lily’s conflicting emotions and the unexpected alliances that form to take down Georgina.
The TWoP Bayliss recap reads: Spotted Lisa Loeb looking exactly the same way she always has, singing the song she's always sung and playing host to Rufus and Lily's reconciliation and boot knocking. That part was awesome because, of course, their sad Laura Ashley lunchbox purse love could only be reignited at the where-are-they-now party for the lame 90s bands. It also goes well with the storyline, which is straight out of Boy Meets World.

This week the guys break down Gossip Girl season 1, episode 14 titled “The Blair Bitch Project”. Original air date April 21st, 2008.
The TWoP episode description reads: Way too long previouslies, about which I am of two minds, because on the one hand it's nice to be reminded, I guess, but are we still pretending that recaps are for people who missed the previous episode or episodes? The longer the previouslies, the more likely it is that a new viewer is going to throw up her hands and say that this show is too hard. When the fact is, to understand this episode, you only have to know that Blair is a bitch and got totally boned, in a social context, and that Jenny is an idiot, and is asking to be destroyed. And to enjoy the episode, you need less than that: just eyes, a heart, and a love of bright colors. And, you know, best episode title possibly ever, so there's that too.
