  Speaker 2: admit to make an episode of Fandemonium. So to have
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a friend offer to write and host an episode, to

  Speaker 2: finished editing the episode. It was a joy to listen to.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It was a joy to experience from the outside. Especially

  Speaker 2: so much. So this was just such a joy. Ash

  Speaker 2: and Taylor, who have been holding down our reality TV
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: episodes annually. They were our gossip girl experts. Yes, I'm

  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: That This was the femme equivalent of that. And I

• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: What a great cocktail of beverages.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Love it. So tell me about your connection to Gossip Girl,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: our show for the day.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Um, I am vaguely aware that Gossip Girl exists. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: have used XOXO Gossip Girl as a sign-off for years.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: No context. I watched a solid amount in preparation for this.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: I could not be left out because this is such
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: a fun group. I watched so many summary videos. Generally,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: so many summary videos, I probably could have watched a
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: solid percentage of the show in the time it took
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: me to watch all of these summary videos, but oh boy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I think I have a vague awareness of most of
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: the major plot beats.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Hell yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, honey.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, honey, I don't know.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you do, because let me tell you,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: this show has goldmine after goldmine after goldmine. My relationship
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: to it is deep. It is long lasting. It is intimate.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I first started in college.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: It was my first like binge through because I had
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: a friend in college who was watching it. And most
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: of my friends are like shocked because I don't come
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: off as somebody who would love Gossip Girl maybe. But
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: let me tell you, I fucking love this show. The
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: writers are genius. They're brilliant. And it takes you on
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: a roller coaster ride every single episode. And then through
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: every season, I mean, it's endless. Your tummy is flipping, flipping, flipping, flipping.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: You cannot keep up with it. And yet you must
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: keep up with it. So I, I would, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: I watched it in college. I did a watch through
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: again during the pandemic. And now I don't, I started
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: to watch the summary videos and then I said, this
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: isn't cutting it. And I went and I have binged
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: like key episodes of the last six seasons over the
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: last two to three weeks.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And, and I'm a mother. I'm a, I'm a mother.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And the amount of time I.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Have dedicated to this for you all here today, it
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: shows real passion, grit, integrity, and, um, and, uh, a desire.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I love that so, so much.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Gosh, I'm so I'm very happy with this. Are you
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: feeling better, Audra? Oh, yes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I the only thing that I have in my head
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: is like the the like I said, the plot beats
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: and just that shot over the shoulder of someone binging cancer.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That's the only things that I have in my head.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite like aggressive product placements in the show.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: God they were really promoting cancer man.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'll wait.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Someone will tell me they just wanted everyone to use
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: bing oh yeah it was yeah it was a bing
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: advertisement and there was a like oh what medication is
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: this which they misspelled on the bottle And she was
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: binging cancer to see if it was a medication that
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: would be given to someone experiencing cancer.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I love a TV looking on the.
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: Internet at how they do their Boolean searches.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: She just, I almost said Googled in Bing. She just Googled.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: In Bing the word cancer.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I know what you mean.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And Bing was ready. Bing was ready to answer all
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of her questions. Alrighty, amazing. It sounds like we have
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a really great balance between vibes and knowledge on this team.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: But you will need some opponents. So welcome, on the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: other side, master of spiders, artist extraordinaire, and vibe curator, Ashwood. Hi.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And her teammate, Julia, which, in their own words, is
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: an X-Man with really bad power. Yeah. How we doing?
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: I'm doing good. I'm proud of myself for that. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: think it describes my neurodivergence really well.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I love that so much.
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I when you when you asked or I
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: was asked if I knew anything about Gossip.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Girl at first, I was like, no. And I was like, wait.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: And then it was just like, oh, wait, I was
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: in high school when this was happening and I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: watching it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So, no, in fact, I do. It's in there. A
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: sleeper agent. I activated a sleeper agent. Basically, it's like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about this in years, but it's there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Amazing. And Ash, how are we doing?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I think I'm doing all right. Let's, um, whenever you
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: asked me to do this several weeks ago, I was like, okay,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to have to do a rewatch because I
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: don't remember the last time I watched this. I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I'm similar to most, uh, who watched it maybe, uh,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: late teens, college era, um, watching this show.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Um, and then I probably watched it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Jen and I lived together for a period and I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: sure we watched it, uh, during that time because we
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: watched a lot of good stuff. Obviously this was on
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the list. Um, So then I started, you know, from
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: season one, we started watching. There are, I'm not shitting you,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: 25 episodes per season, except for season six, I think.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Or like somewhere around that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I think I made it until like midway season two
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: before I was like, oh my God, I'm going to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: have to listen to recaps because I do not have
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: enough time. And mind you, I committed to this in
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: a way that was listening to it as a podcast
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: while I was working every day because I was like,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I got to get through these episodes.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: And... I'm telling you guys, I really did try.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: And then because the recap, Jen did send us all
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: the same recap, didn't have a season six. So I
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: had to binge season six like yesterday because I was like,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I don't. finish that and i don't even think i
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: finished the last episode which i think i remember but
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: hopefully there's not a specific question about that because that's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: going to be a hard time um But yeah, I
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: also prepared by wearing my proper uniform. I see that
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: nobody else has their headbands on.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I was literally like, I have zero headbands at my house.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Otherwise it would be on my head. The only headband
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: I have. I sewed a fake plushy rat too, so
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: that I could pretend to be ratatouille. Um, and I
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: can't remove it because I keep putting it on my cat.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Like a rat is riding him like a cowboy. And
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: I just couldn't sacrifice that. I just, I could not
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: do so.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: That's more incredible. But I thought about it.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Priorities.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Makes sense.
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: But I appreciate your effort. Both in costume and in research.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Got that dog in you yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It's just it like somebody else said we're just very
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: passionate you know this is very this is an excellently
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: written show we enjoy it very much it's been a
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: wild ride the last several weeks and it's been fun
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: recapping to my co-worker who hasn't ever seen.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It whenever something crazy.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Happened it's been fun oh it's.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Always so fun to out of context just say a
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: sentence from this show and everyone be like uh-huh You're like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you just got.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: To be there.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: You just got to watch it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: We'll do a long-term prank where I convince someone I
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: know these people and it's just plot beat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Just like, yes.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: And then she came back and no one expected that
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: she was going to come back. Like we haven't seen
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: her in years.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Where has she been? Where has she been? She won't
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: tell us.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: She just won't tell us.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: That's essentially been my household with my husband, Derek. As
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: I've been watching it through, he'll be like, He started
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: to get sucked in. He now wants to do a
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: full episode by episode watch through.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I put Chris through that early on in the marriage.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And I was like, you have to do it. We
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: were like exchanging shows that we've watched. And I was like,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: we got to watch through it. And he was like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: by like season three, he was like, what is happening?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Buckle up. There's three more seasons.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: So.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I love that so much. Well, okay, teams, this speakeasy
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: isn't going to buy itself. So I'd like each pair
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: to come up with a Gossip Girl-themed team name, please.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And we're going to start with Taylor and Audra.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: Audra, for the first time in our entire lives, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: come to you with a name idea.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's happening. Okay, hang on.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: And now don't get too excited because I don't think
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Matt will let us use it as our team name
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: in production.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: It's too long.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'm Game Master.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: You're Matt.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: You can figure out the SEO. Oh, fantastic. Okay.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll see if Jen lets us use this. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: I wrote this down in early watch through. It's www.ihaterufushumphrey.gov.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Dot gov yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Dot gov dot gov dot gov is important it's the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: most important and why I rely on the dot gov
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: here is because as we all learned in elementary citation
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: courses if it ends in dot gov we can trust
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: it now let's release the current administration and and political
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: environment we all went to college 10 years ago it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: okay we were in college yes and gossip girl era
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: and so dark of implies you know a level of
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: authority and i needed to convey that because i feel
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: this so strongly so deeply i wrote this in season
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: two that's and at the end of season six which
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: i did finish at 2 a.m last night I can
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: confirm I still fucking hate Rufus Humphrey. So www.ihaterufushumphrey.gov is
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the first suggestion.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: And then the second suggestion, Jen, which will be easier
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: for you to manage, is Blair's bitches. Because I'd love
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: to be a bitch of Blair.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I like those. Those are so good.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Mine, I do think, I think mine are cheap shots,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: and I don't think they're going to win out against www.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah,..
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Com.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Which is how I would buzz in if that ever
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: needed to happen. So the ones that I had, because
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: it's Upper East Siders.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Lower West Bottoms was one of them because I was like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: what's the opposite of that?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Just other words.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Rise, Shine, Revive because that's just three different names of
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: vitamin waters.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. That's pretty funny.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Or refresh focus essential or whatever combination we thought was appropriate.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: But I just, I'm just so enamored with dot gov.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I would, if you made daily posts on that, I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: would be Google subscribe. Tell me when there's a new
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: entry on this website. Like, When we finish this, Taylor's
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: going to start a sub stack. And then for.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: Purposes of production in the game, we could shorten it
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: to www.gov and let the listener find out what we
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: care about.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And just remove all show context.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: From our team.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's what it's like anyway.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: Usually I have to listen to the episode to understand
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: some of the names.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: They make very little sense out of context.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, I love that so much. Ash and Julia,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: what do you got?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: I'd love to hear yours because they're probably not as
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: bad as mine.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Okay. I'm going to be honest.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I thought about a muse, but I did not think
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: about a name, but I was along the same lines, Taylor,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: except mine was Dan Humphrey sucks because Dan Humphrey sucks. Um,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: but you know, that's an obvious statement to use. Um,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: you know, we could probably find something.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know. There's just a lot. I don't, I
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: didn't think I can throw mine out there.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I can throw mine out there. I've got go piss girl.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Cause that's very relevant to my daily, like just language use. Um,
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: and then the other one I came up with was
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: Blake Waldorf salad.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: Um, that's hilarious i think you got one yeah brilliant
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: incredible okay so i heard both blake and blair at
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: the same time are we using her name.
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: We're using blair waldorf i heard blake waldorf i think
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: i said that and i was like did i.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Say that right it's an it's you know no it's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I want it to be Blair. I don't fucking care
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: about Blake Lively.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I think we're like mixing some people together, which is fun,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: but just want to make sure I have it right.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: And snaps for relevant team names, you know, on the rails,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: relevant team names. Proud of us for that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So just before we get into today's games, I've asked
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: each player to bring in a muse, something that inspires
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: them or something they love from this particular fandom. Gossip
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Girl is inspiring to me because it was one of
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the shows that my sister and I bonded over a
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: very long time ago when it was first coming out.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: She would burn episodes onto blank CDs for me about
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: four episodes at a time and feed them to me
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: because my mom didn't know I was watching the show.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: So I would watch them at night by myself and
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: then we would trade out and she would give me
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the next disc. That's so sweet. That was my early
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: memories of Gossip Girl.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: And how Gossip Girl, yeah, for it to be like
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: the layers, the meta layers there.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, what a delightful experience. Yeah, so good.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And I think I may still have some of the CDs,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: but they were all unmarked. So, like, they're just... I
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: don't know, like, if.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Incredible.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Russian roulette, baby. Silver CD.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, Ash, we're going to start with you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: So my muse for this particular situation here is all
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the characters that we never see again. So, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: we lose a little J. We don't see her again
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: for like a good portion. We lose Eric. We lose,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: you know, a Damien Delgarde.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: We lose.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: A whatever the Archibald's grouping.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Of political folk.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: And these are all really important storyline drivers at some
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: point in the series. And then they're just never seen again.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Which is crazy to me. So they're my muses, you know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: They get mentioned throughout the time, but they never get
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: seen again. And, you know, those are the real heroes here.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Unseen heroes.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: That's beautiful.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: In memoriam for their characters that disappear.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: Exactly, exactly.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Except for that one episode where they're like, Eric's in
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: the Hamptons. And you're like, is he? I don't know.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: You just keep saying where he's at. And we don't
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: hear anything else about him. But okay.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: The actor was so charismatic. He was great. He was great.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Hot.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Really early queer representation in media, too.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: So good.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Amazing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Fun fact about at least Taylor Momsen. She was starting
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: her band, The Pretty Reckless, at the time. and she
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: wanted to go do music. She was just like, I'm
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: kind of over it guys. And the producers were like,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: as long as you don't go and do other acting,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: you can, we'll keep your contract open and like, you
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: can come and guest spot, but you can go.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Do like your music thing. Um, so she was just
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: like ready to retire the, the little J pinky.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Um, yes a fun fact about that fun fact um
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: i grew up in southern california when you know van's
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: warp tour was like a big thing and i got
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: to see her band taylor momson's band play at warp
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: tour uh when i was like 15 years old love
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: that so well she was on that break so yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Very cool love that all right julia um so i
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: went to a private school for high school well.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: All of the before college school. And it was, we
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: had uniforms.
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: And so it was very, we were very influenced by
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: Gossip Girl, at least the popular kids were, because they started.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Wearing headbands and they have little bows.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: And I think it was the first time that I
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: was like, oh, I have an opinion on a fad
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: that I don't like.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And also I.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: Appreciate that it was like hot brunette girl representation. Cause
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: you know, like everyone's like blonde hair girls are.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Like the ones that you're supposed to go after. But
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I was just like undeniably Leighton Meester. So hot.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: And also I think an un unprocessed queer, uh, crush
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: that I had that I didn't realize because Penn Badgley
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: was there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And I liked him.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: But like, isn't that also a queer crush?
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: He can fit.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: He's for the girls.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I love that. All right, Taylor.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Thank you for, thank you so much for asking me
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: my muse. And I've thought about this clearly. It is
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Cyrus Rose. Cyrus Rose is Blair's stepfather.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: He comes in a.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Couple of seasons in.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: I think season two or three is when he comes in.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: And he is the only character that never gets mixed
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: up in a scheme.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Because, okay, so there's Cyrus and Dorota.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: And fandom talks about, like, they're kind of the two
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: who you would say have a good heart. But Dorota,
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: she does get mixed up in schemes. Cyrus, he does
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: not get mixed up in schemes. And what's most important
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: about Cyrus is he comes into the Waldorf household, two
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: very powerful women, Blair and Eleanor, and he brings emotional
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: safety and stability to these very powerful women. That then
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: you see Blair in the high school years, she was toxic.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: She was cruel to other people. As Blair gets out
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: of high school, she still schemes, but she does not
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: scheme to be cruel. She schemes to, like, further her
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: way and her agenda and the people whose interests she
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: aligns with.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: That.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: And I hate to give the man the credit, but
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: I do believe that a large portion of that can
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: be attributed to her mother more emotionally showing up for
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: her and having this stepfather present who's emotionally showing up
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: for her. Her mother, powerhouse businesswoman, she needed that emotional
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: grounding that short little Cyrus brought to the table.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: To allow her to still be that powerful.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Presence who could also be emotionally available and as you
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: see Blair becomes quite the young woman she grows into
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: somebody of some character and it's because of Cyrus Rose
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: and Eleanor Waldorf um and.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: That's why I love that so much The only scheme
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: that he is like a hair involved with is when Blair,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: or no Blair, Serena thinks she got married to Armie Hammer.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: And he's like, no, I'm a lawyer. You didn't. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: that was like, but it was like, it's not even
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: a scheme. It's not even a scheme. He was just
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: doing good research for her.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: And he was just being a lawyer.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: He was just helping out a teenager who was dumb
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: enough to think that she got married when she didn't
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: sign any documents or like remember saying I do. That's
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: one of my notes on my hot takes is that
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: that shows how truly stupid Serena was that she thought
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: she was actually married to this guy. But I'm glad
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: Cyrus could walk her off the ledge.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: And last but not least, Audra.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: As someone who didn't have necessarily a connection with to
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Gossip Girl I realized after a meme that I have
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: always had a connection to Gossip Girl and it was
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: mentioned earlier but my muse is the go piss girl
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: meme even before I realized that that was from Gossip
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Girl that that image was the Gossip Girl image oh
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: boy I was out there saying go piss girl Oh,
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: I have such a, I say this phrase daily. I
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: have purchased a stained glass pattern to make a faux
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: stained glass for my bathroom.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: That is, go piss girl.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: The final, the thing that I am intending to create.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, that's amazing. Is this thing.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Beautiful.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: She will send it in the chat.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I will send it in the chat or I will
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: get real close to this camera.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You got this.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: No, that's cool.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I love it so much.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: And like just the coloration on it with like the red,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: like this is a backstabby, it is a backstabby show.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Let's be so let's. And I think that that's a
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: hot take. To say that this is a backstabbing.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: You're so right. You're off the team. Off the team.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: But that stained glass piece of art, it will be
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: with me. It is going to be an heirloom unto
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: my house.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I love that so much. I remember.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: You saying go piss girl a lot. And I was like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think she knows. No, I just like to
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: tell people to go piss. Oh, I just, I just
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: think that that's a experience. I wanted to be a
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: part of validating. Um, cause I know that it can,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I know that it can be like, Oh no, I
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: have to leave the conversation. And we're like, no, we're
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: going to be here for you when you get back.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Go piss girl. Hi.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So much love. I love all of that so much.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I love this show, even though it's so toxic and,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: is all of the things that we've said. It's just
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: so artful in that particular time, and I love it
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: so much. All right, teams, let's call the car and
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: go to round one. Round one is called Beauty and
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the Feast, a feast of trivia questions. We'll be doing
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a sampling of different types of trivia questions. That's all
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: that is. Also, all of the game titles... Um, one
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: of my favorite fun facts about gossip girl is every
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: single episode title is a play on a movie title. Um,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: so I have pulled relevant titles that have the episodes
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: have nothing to do with the game, but the, the
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: words reference the game, there's connections. Um, so the first
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: question type that we'll be doing is a three out
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: of five list. So I will present each team with
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a list of five things, um, under a specific topic.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Where three are correct and two are fake.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Guess one wrong and you'll be shut out of the
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: list and you will get a point for each correct answer.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: So I will list out the five things and give
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: you your category. You can give them to me one
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: at a time and I will tell you if they
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: are correct or not. If it's correct, you get a point.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: You keep moving. If it's wrong, you get shut out
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: of the list and you can keep any previous points
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: that you collected during the game. Make sense? Yes. We
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: are going to start with Julia and Ash. Your list
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: is centered on guest stars. Specifically, people that held a
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: different character name. So the other team is going to
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: be cameos. So remember these are people that held an
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: actual character role. They were not themselves.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: To be clear.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: So your list is Lauren Conrad, Sebastian Stan, Adam Brody,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Aaron Tveit, Kristen Ritter.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: What was the fourth one? Aaron Tveit. Everyone says his
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: last name a little different. I don't know this person.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: I know Sebastian Stan.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can we lock in Sebastian Stan? Yes, you can,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and that is correct. One point there.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I was really hoping that... I feel like... No, I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: can't say it because it might come back. Um, okay. Uh,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it would like, how could Adam Brody not be in it?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Is my thought.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: I just don't remember him being in it. And then because, Oh,
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: go ahead. No, no, go for it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: I feel like also Kristen Ritter makes sense as well.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: Cause of like Veronica Mars time, they had to overlap
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: and it was the CW.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I think Kristen Ritter, but I don't think Adam Brody.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's go with Kristen Ritter.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: That is correct. Yes! She was in one episode, the
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: failed pilot of the younger Vanderwoodson sisters. She played the
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: older sister. Oh, yes. Okay, yeah.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: And then who was the first person on the list?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Lauren Conrad.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: I think Lauren Conrad appeared as herself.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I, she can't act.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no. I think they made a reference
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: to her as herself. Um, well, okay. Which names do
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: we still have?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: So left on the list is Lauren Conrad, Adam Brody,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: and Aaron Tveit.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: How do you spell that last name?
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: T E V I T T.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: And it's Aaron with two A's.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: This is a person I.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Do not know.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: I don't. I'm going to be honest.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be really bad at a game that's
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: asking me about people's names because I don't know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Let's go for.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I'm usually good at this.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know Aaron. I don't know Aaron.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: So, if you're pretty confident that Adam Brody did not appear,
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: I say we go for this Aaron fellow.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: That sounds great.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't... I won't be mad if you're wrong.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: No, but see, I don't want to say that because now,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: because I'm pretty sure it's the same writers.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure the shows have the same writers.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: So it's possible that Aaron Brody was in this show,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: but I do not remember him being mentioned in the
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: recap videos.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: That I watched.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: What are we going to do? Let's just go for
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: this Aaron guy.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, that sounds great.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: That's a great answer because Aaron Tveit is Trip Vanderbilt.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank God.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: He is Nate's cousin.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And add a protein.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I'm just happy I recognized who Trip Vanderbilt was.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I would know the character, but I didn't
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: know what his name was.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: Adam Brody is such a good gem there, Jen, because
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: it's who Leighton Meester Blair is married to now.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: And he looks so much like Dan.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Especially back then. That's why I did Lauren and Adam,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: because both were like with the hills and all of
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the things and him being around and then the Leighton.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: But you did not... Fall for any of my tricks,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: so you get the full three points from that first question.
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: I'm glad that you didn't make up an actor.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: No, all of the names are real, so if you
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: don't recognize them, they are real people. You just don't
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: know them. Audrey, you're good.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: If you showed me a picture, it'd be helpful. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: All right, so as I said, for our second team, www.IHateRufusHumphrey.gov.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Your list will be cameos, so famous people that played
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: themselves in the show.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Your list is Karlie Kloss, Lady Gaga, Bethany Frankel, Gigi Hadid,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: and Cyndi Lauper.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: Okay, let's knock off Lady Gaga. We know for sure
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: she did it. She did a performance of Poker Face.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: Love.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: So Lady Gaga, good.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: I have like auditory remembrance issues, so I don't remember
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: any of the other names.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: But we're locking in Lady Gaga in order to acquire
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: our point.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: And you have acquired said point. She did a poker face.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I had to lock in that point.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Which is so tough because it's happening in the background
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: of a Dan Humphrey conversation and it's just rude. It's
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: just rude. What a flex.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: What a flex of that production team to bring on
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: Lady Gaga when she's taken off and she's just in
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: the background. There's also a Florence and the Machine. So
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: if one of those names is Florence and the Machine, Audra,
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: or the, no, okay.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: It's Gigi Hadid, Carly Kloss, Cindy Lauper. And Bethany Frankel.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Bethany Frankel.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: So I think Carly Kloss would make sense to me,
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: but I don't remember.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I think she would make sense.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: I have no memory of any of these from my
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: summary research. But Karlie Kloss would make sense because I
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: think she was she was social lighting at the time.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: And wasn't okay because wasn't a Kushner in one of them.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And then I think she married a Kushner.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: And so I'm down for Karlie Kloss. Let's lock in
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: Karlie Kloss. I think it's a solid, solid guess here.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: And it is correct. She was just Socialite in the
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: back of a party. She might have had a word
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: or a line, but she was just part of the
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: fodder of socialite New York culture.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: So then I think, Audra, that Bethany Frankel probably makes
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: sense because she's been a socialite for a long time
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: and she's got all those businesses and directly in this
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: Target demographic, but I don't know when she started running her, like,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: when did the skinny candy bar thing that she did?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: That was, like, that was when I was in college. Okay,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I think Bethany Frankel. I think maybe Bethany Frankel.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go for that.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: I trust that because the amount of product placement, this was, like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: product placement central.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: They would be so open to that type of cameo.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's re-in for it. We're
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: locking that in? Yeah.
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, no. Damn it, Jessica! It fell through my hole.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Was it Cindy?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: It sure was. Cyrus gets, basically rents out Cindy Lauper's
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: concert for Eleanor as a present. And Cindy Lauper herself
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: is in the episode.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like in season five, isn't it? It's like
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: something I watched earlier this week.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, Audra, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Don't you dare. Hey, don't you dare be sorry. Bethany
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: Frankel was a New York housewife.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: It makes sense. I literally Googled New York City housewife
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and then was like, what was the name? And I
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: don't know any of them. And I was like, what
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: is the name that I recognize? And I was like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Bethany Frankel.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: She was one of the younger ones at the time. Yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: it was very of the time.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Don't you dare be sorry, Gossip Girl. Okay, we will
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: soldier through this together, you and me. Yes, you got this.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: All right, so your second question type is guessing who
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: said an iconic quote from the show. If you know
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: the answer outright after I say it, I will give
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: you two points. If you don't know it, I will
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: give you a multiple choice list. And then if you
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: guess right from the multiple choice, you will get a point.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, so do we get to throw out a guess
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: before guessing?
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: The multiple choice? Yes.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: So we get like a free guess? Yeah, you get
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: a free guess. Oh, okay. Like from once I say it,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: you can guess. And then if it's wrong or like
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: you don't know and you have no start, then I'll
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: give you the list. And then it's up to if
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: you can pick from the list.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Beautiful.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: So for this game, we're going to keep going with
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Julia and Ash first. So the iconic line is, I'm
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: not a stop along the way.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a destination.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: It's got to be.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: A lady, right?
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: It's going to either be Blair or Serena.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Stop along the way.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Mark, maybe it could be Vanessa.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: It could be Vanessa.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: That would be my I hate dot gov.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: It would be I hate Vanessa Abrams dot gov.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: She's also the worst. She's truly the worst.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Truly the worst.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Got a guess? You can also say I don't want
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: to guess if you don't want to.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: Let's just do a guess.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: I guess we can. Let's guess Vanessa.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're guessing Vanessa.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: It is not Vanessa. Okay, let's hear that.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: As if Vanessa.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: Vanessa would never have confidence to say that.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: And I.
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: That's so sad because that seems like the exact thing.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: She'd need to say. It would really help her confidence.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, but I would.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: Say there is an argument for whenever she's manipulative and
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: all of that. She says some out-of-pocket shit that Scaredy
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Cat Vanessa would not usually.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: When she's around some side characters, she gets a little
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: bit of confidence.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: You got Georgina in the mix, all that's off.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, so here's your multiple choice. A, Serena, B, Blair,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: or C, Chuck?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Could it be Chuck?
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not a stop along the way, I'm a destination.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I think it could be Chuck. I'm not gonna put
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: too much, don't put too much weight in what I'm saying.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Whatever you're feeling is- No, I think, because I had
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: said it's either Serena or Blair originally.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: Not a so-and-so destination.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's got to be a stupid ass
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Serena thing that she says.
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: It does sound like a line that they would give Serena.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm going to go Serena.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Serena. It is Blair. Damn it. To Chuck. But really,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: it's one that like any of the women, I feel
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: like I wanted it distinctly vague, but like any of
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: those women would throw that line out there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have even brought Vanessa up.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah and they write certain things for her especially in
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: the later seasons that like yeah it's incredibly out of
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: pocket and you're like what like her character development is
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: weird all right team i hate rufus your line is
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: you can tell jesus that the bitch is back oh is.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Go is this i'm throwing it out there Something happens
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: and Serena returns to her mean girl ways. Because there's
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: a time when Serena was trying to be a good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: And then something occurs and then she's like, no, I'm
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: in charge of this now.
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: And usurps Blair. So I want to praise your creative thinking.
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's that. I think it has to
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: do with Georgina because Georgina was the Jesus lover. So
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: I don't know if Georgina was the one who said
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: it or if it was like somebody too.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: I do think Georgina makes sense though because another large
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: plot point is they tried to take down those people
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: who took them down with the Ponzi scheme and then
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: it didn't work and it backfired and then Georgina went
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: bad again.
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: To go and defeat them.
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: And so if she's a Jesus character who went bad.
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: But she's telling someone that you can tell Jesus the
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: bitch is back. And I think that it's somebody talking
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: to Georgina because she talks to Jesus, like making fun
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: of her relationship with Jesus. But I might be going
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: too far down this thought. It could be Gossip Girl
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: says it. You can tell Jesus that the bitch is
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: back talking about Georgina.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Okay. It could be. That tracks. We can guess it,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: then we can get the three.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I was, that's what I was, we
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: can just eliminate Georgina. Do you want to? Yeah, because
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: we can guess it, and if it's wrong, then we
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: get a three.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: Or we can.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Let's start with Georgina.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Let's start with Georgina.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Georgina. That is correct.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Oh!
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: She's talking on the phone to Blair, and Blair goes, Well,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: what would Jesus say about that?
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: And she said, you can tell Jesus that the bitch
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: is back.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, damn.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: God, do I need to watch this show for Georgina?
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: No, literally.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: You should just look up the episodes that Georgina is
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: in and then just watch those ones.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just watch her storyline.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Michelle Strattenberg as Georgina is just... Like, God-tier acting.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Michelle Strattenberg as a villain.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Is so good. She has such a sweet face.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Her hair is so shiny.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: And she's hot, and she has the eyebrows, the Georgina eyebrow,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: and you're like, ah. All right, so our last question
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: is guessing who a Gossip Girl blast is about. So
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: this is going to be specifically from the narration of
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Gossip Girl, and it is about a character, right? Again,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: if you know the question, when I say it, if
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: you know the answer outright, I'll give you two points,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: and if you don't, I have a multiple choice list
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: for you. In this case, I will say blank, where
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: a name is. There may be other names in it,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: but you are just trying to solve for blank. Okay?
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: We're starting with Ash and Julia again.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: The quote is, Nate thought he and blank were thick
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: as thieves. Turns out blank's a thief, and Nate's just thick.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: My first thought would be Chuck, but is there anyone
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: else that, like, aside from his romantic relationships, he would
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: be thick with?
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: It's going to, yeah. Can you read it one more time? Yeah.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Nate thought he and blank were thick as thieves. Turns
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: out blank's a thief and Nate's just thick. Did someone
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: steal from him?
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Yes. I don't think it's Chuck. I think it's going
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: to be somebody else.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: And it's going to be, let me think of all
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: the thievery that happens.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I think it might be Serena. She steals stuff.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, yes.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: It feels like it could be like an Ivy Dickens
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: or something stupid. Like one of the late characters that
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: doesn't really matter. But also Jen wouldn't make it that hard.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: So maybe I'm thinking too hard about that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Were he and Eric cool? I don't think they were
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: ever in a scene together.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: No.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Don't help them. I'm sorry.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Okay, I'm going to make a guess. Is
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: it Dan?
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: Remember that time when they were, like, friends, but then
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: I feel like Dan could have stolen something from him.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like Serena or something.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. That's so true.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go with Dan.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Dan is correct.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: Nice. Woo!
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Woo!
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: Good job.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: That was harsh. The line is, Nate thought he and
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Humphrey were thick as thieves. Turns out Humphrey's a thief
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: and Nate's just thick. It's one of my favorite Gossip
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Girl lines. It's really good. It's so good.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Amazing. Incredible work.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you. Good job, Ash.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the deductive skills. That's what I was like, I
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: think we can get there. All right, and then for
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: I Hate Rufus, your quote is, don't worry, blank, the
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: sun will come out tomorrow, even though your boyfriend did today.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Who has a gay boyfriend? Oh no.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, Lair. Don't worry, S. Give me just a
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: second to go into the recesses.
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: Because it was mentioned, I'm going to fill the air
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: while you access your mind palace. It was mentioned earlier
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: that Eric might have been good for representation. So that
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: would be a touch point of something. But like, cause
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: Eric and little J.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Good job. We're using our vocabulary. We're close at one point.
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: This is, and I, and I want to affirm you,
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: you're completely on the wrong, on the wrong path.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Amazing.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: And so I'm, I'm filling air.
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: It might not be about somebody being gay, but, Can
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: you read me the quote again?
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, blank. The sun will come out tomorrow, even
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: though your boyfriend did today.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And remember, you're just guessing, and then I can give
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: you a list.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: I don't know if S is too obvious, but I
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: would guess that it's something S.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, S, Serena.
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: Your boyfriend came out and it's probably like a scheme
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: or something. I'm not remembering what a situation might be,
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: but they might've come out. It might've been like one
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: trip because there weren't a ton of like gay stories
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: of people coming out. Eric was gay and he just
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: was kind of gay and his boyfriend was Jonathan.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: So he didn't have a- you.
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: Know, like it wasn't a huge storyline and then drama.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: Would you feel okay about us locking in Serena knowing
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: that it's like kind of 40, 50% chance that it's her.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: And then we go to the list.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: I was going to say little J and I couldn't
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: remember if that was really what she was referred to as.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: So 40% is incredible.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: Serena.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Is not Serena.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Okay. Give us the list. So your list is A, Vanessa, B, Jenny, C, Georgina.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, blank. the sun will come out tomorrow, even
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: though your boyfriend did today.
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: Okay, so it could be, don't worry, little J, the
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: sun will come out tomorrow. Did her and Eric pretend
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: to be, I'm like looking at Ash to see if
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: she gives me any micro-expressions.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: I know the answer.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: I know you do.
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: I can feel your energy through the computer. And so
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to read you.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: Cause I know they were, I know that they were
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: close and then she broke him out of the facility
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: that he was.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: In the mental health facility.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: So it's little, little J Georgina.
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: And then who was the last time Vanessa, Vanessa, it
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: could be Vanessa, uh, it definitely could be Vanessa too. Audra,
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: I want to, I want to follow your gut on
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: this because you're spiritually, you're spiritually aligned to gossip girl.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: That's all I am. I can bring the spiritual alignment. Um,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: you know what?
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: Let's, let's go for it. We got, I think we
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: got lucky on our early one. So let's do little
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: J Jenny.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Are we doing Jenny? That is correct. I knew it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: It is not with Eric. Yeah, it's not. It is
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: around an Eric storyline. So this is when they were besties.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: She was dating someone from a different school. It was
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: when she was trying to get notoriety and she was
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: kissing a guy on the street. And he came out
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: as gay and he was actually dating Eric at the time.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: So Eric was like, Jenny, don't date him. He's not
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: being real with you. And then it became a whole
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: thing and she kind of bearded from a little bit.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: And then there was a big fight between Eric and Jenny.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I must have missed this whole crazy.
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: I remind you, I am a mother and I jumped
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: through seasons and episodes.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: So I must have missed. I am a mother.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: You are a mother and you are a mother.
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Those were both true statements about you.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: And I will say it was probably not a high
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: priority storyline.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: If you looked up like, where are the major plot points?
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: That was like, season one or two early on and
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: it was a B like maybe like a D plot
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: to what was happening at the time with the main cast.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: It was the storyline right before I jumped to watching recaps.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: Like I'm not going to make it through this.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to be fresh.
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: I was going to say, I think like in the
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: last year I watched like season one through two at least.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: And so it was like something about this.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I know something.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: So much. Well, that is the end of round one.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: If only I could call Chuck to hire someone to
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: do the math for me, but I did it myself. Um,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: and somehow across multiple point value changes, um, You both
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: landed on five points coming.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Out of round one.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: Amazing.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: Up next is round two, and we'll see you after
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: this break. Welcome back to round two. Round two is
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: called All the Pretty Sources. The messages that are sent
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: to Gossip Girl that she reports on are truly wild
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: and often nonsensical. In this game, each team will embody
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: a Gossip Girl source, or as she calls them, her eyes.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: In turns, we will first roll a die to decide
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: which two characters the message will be about.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: So I have a list of eight characters.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to roll a d8 twice to decide what
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: two characters are going to be involved in this message
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: that you're sending off to Gossip Girl. And then we
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: will spin the wheel for a general plot point.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: Incredible.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: That the message will be about. The plot points are
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: real things from the show, but they are completely disconnected
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: from who actually experienced them, so this is all new
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: stories that you're creating. But I wanted to just highlight
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: some of the random shit that this show throws at us.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: The catch? We're doing this in fan fickle style, which
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: means that as you're saying the message, you'll be volleying
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: back and forth with one word each. So, for example...
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: If I rolled on the table and rolled Serena and
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Nate and then spun the wheel and got ghosted by
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: a crush, I'll go over the options here in a moment,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I could write about how Serena was sitting alone at
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: butter waiting for Nate to show up, but he never did.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe add some color that she was crying or kicked
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: out for holding the table for too long.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: So essentially, I would go back and forth with my
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: partner and.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: Say, I saw Serena.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: At.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: Butter. Waiting. For.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Nate.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: He.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Didn't.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: Show.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Up.
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: For. Two.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Whole.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: Days.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: So that is will be the style of going back
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: and forth. Points will be awarded for cohesiveness of story.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Make the sentence at least vaguely make sense when you're
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: saying it. mention of your character and plot point that
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: you rolled for or spun for, and then flavor added
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: to make it juicy enough for Gossip Girl to report
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: on it. So waiting for two days at a restaurant,
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: that's a long time.
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: But we don't get to discuss what it is beforehand.
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: We just have to go straight.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Correct. So the only thing that you and your team
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: will know is the two people that you're talking about
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: and generally what happened to those two people. And then
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: you will. Make it up as we go. The characters
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: that will be rolled for are Serena, Blair, Chuck, Nate, Dan, Jenny,
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: the older years, Vanessa, and Georgina.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: And so lots of the main cast.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: And then your plot points are secret love child, pregnancy
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: with baby daddy confusion, sleeping with your college professor, party
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: crash guerrilla fashion show, Sold your friend's mom's dress. Ghosted
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: by a crush. Unserious political espionage. And doing literally anything
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: to get into a secret society. So again, you won't
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: have to remember those things. We will spin for them.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: I will say the full thing. When you roll the die,
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: I will tell you who equates to that number.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: You will keep going, and when I feel like it's
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: either hit a comedic peak or that we're just rambling,
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: I will say and send instead of fancy. Got it.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Because you're sending a message.
• 56:05
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: Clever. Clever.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: I really worked hard on that one. Okay, so for
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: a switch up, we'll have Taylor and Audra go first.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: So Taylor, on your side, I'm going to have you
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: roll that D8.
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: Twice.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: And tell me both numbers. Okay.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: My D8 has a little ducky in it.
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: Okay. Four.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: Four. Six. Okay.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: You have Nate and Jenny. So you are a anonymous
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: bystander writing to Gossip Girl.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: About these people.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: So you are neither the people that you rolled or
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Gossip Girl. You are just like a gossip wanting to
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: spread shit. And then you rolled Nate and Jenny. So
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: that is who you saw doing or experiencing the thing
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: that Audra's about to spin for. Wait, sorry.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Both Nate and Jenny should be involved in this story.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: So Nate and Jenny's name should be mentioned, but they
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: can be in any way that it happens.
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: Cool.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: You have to be the stopper. Oh, I have to
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: be the stopper as well. I'm not looking. I was
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: going to say, close your eyes.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: Okay. The one at the top was baby daddy. Okay, cool.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: So there is a pregnancy and there is baby daddy confusion.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Who's the dad? Mamma Mia. We don't know. Mamma Mia
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: or Blair in the later seasons when she's not sure
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: if her baby is Chuck or the princess.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Ooh, there's a prince.
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: Louie. Yeah, so nothing to do with Blair or Louie
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: or the actual thing that happened. It is just a
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: plot point that Nate and Jenny are navigating in some way.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: And then you will take turns saying a word to
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: create the thing.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: And whoever wants to start.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: We've got this.
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: Just saw Nate and Dorota discussing birth control because little
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: J has Nate questioning if he her baby daddy and
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: maybe eric should throw her shower at chuck's hotel because
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: he believes he knows who the real Baby.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Daddy.
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: Is.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: And sent. That was rough.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: No, we got everywhere we needed to go.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: You got everywhere you needed to go.
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: You have no idea how nonsensical these things get.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: That made sense.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Somehow. Okay, I'm going to hold point totals until
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: the other team has a chance to go. So, Ash,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: you will roll the D8 twice and tell me what
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: numbers you get.
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: Two.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Did you just roll two twice?
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: Three times.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: How many characters?
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: Okay, I'm getting.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: Another dice because I'm not even shitting you another two.
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know what's happening.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: It's a weird loaded dice. Like that's not even productive.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: It's not even a nat one.
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: Okay, six. Okay. That was crazy.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: That's wild.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: Jenny again with Blair. And then you are both spinner
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: and stopper on that.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so sorry. I just made it hit the mic.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: It's all good. You know, it's all good. Okay.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Is it spinning?
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: It is. I'm going to call that the light green.
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: It's light green.
• 59:53
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: So you were ghost. Someone was ghosted by a crush.
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: So you have Blair. Jenny, ghosted by a crush.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Whoever wants to start.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: Just saw Lil' J at Butter sitting alongside Blair.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: Who was weeping, period.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: Um, Lil' J was holding Blair's phone and laughing loudly,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: but then Chuck Was.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Seen.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Walking.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: Away.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: From.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: The. Restaurant.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: Who.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Knows.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: What.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Went.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: Down.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: Apparently.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: Blair. Had.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: Been.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Waiting.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: For.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Hours.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: Until. She. Called.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: Lil J.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: Period.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: Instant.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: Love that.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: Two unlikely friends that would not have that happen. Love that.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: Both teams hit mentioning your people. I think the unlikely
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: grouping of Nate, Dorota, and Chuck, and Eric all making
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: a baby shower, top tier. That would happen. And everyone
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: would be invited to the baby shower for some reason.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Because everyone is invited to everything.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: Like Damien would be there for some reason?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Just everyone.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: Everyone.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to give that five points. I think
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: that you hit all of the pieces that were asked,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: and it was coherent, and I could see that story
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: playing out. For our other team, it sounded a little
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: like the example, so I'm going to dock only one
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: point for that. So I'm going to give the other
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: team four points on that, because I do enjoy a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: weeping at a restaurant and a walking away sad man.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: I will note that Not that I'm praising the other team,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: but I will say Julia's tone and inflection was very
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 7: Gossip Girl.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 8: Even though technically we're not Gossip Girl, but yeah, I
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 8: just wanted to sound like her.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: Hillary. Yeah.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 9: Oh, wait.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say things that I know. So hard to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: It's because I know so little, I want to be like,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 8: I know this!
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: And I can't because it could be relevant later. But Julia, Julia, honey,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you're wrong.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was incorrect.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: But I also don't think we should tell them because
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: it might be something that we need to talk about later.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: So divisive. But we're on separate teams, Ash, and you
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: and I are the ones.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, my God.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: I know who it is now.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 5: I'm just conspiring. It's fine.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Conspiracy. No, but was... But she was in it, right? Yeah,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: she was.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: Well, she was in it, but it's Kristen Bell who
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: does the voiceover.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Kristen Bell.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: And then plays herself later as Gossip Girl in the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: end because they wanted to be meta. Anyways, that is
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: the end of the round. Grab your yogurt and meet
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: me on the steps for the scores. The steps. The
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: met steps. So that round, though close in score, did
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: pool I Hate Rufus Humphrey one point ahead at ten points,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: and Blair Waldorf's salad is on nine. Round three is next,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: and we're going to aggressively insert an ad here, just
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: like the Guitar Hero ads in the show. Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: There were Guitar Hero ads?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: In, like, one of the first season, I remember them
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 6: playing Guitar Hero. Yeah, at Blair's birthday party. Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: And Serena's, like, shredding on a plastic guitar. Yeah.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were really trying to make it sexy. I
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: don't know if it worked.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Round three is called Where the Vile Things Are. or
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: as others call them, YouTube comments. Each team will be
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: given a set of comments for a specific scene in
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: the show. The comments will get increasingly more specific. Guess
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: the scene. On the first comment, you get three points.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: The second, two points. And the third, one point. If
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: by the end you cannot guess, I will give you
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: a chance to guess One character who is in the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: scene for a half point. Yes, Matt, I'm doing half points.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Piss hog.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Break the game.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: Break the game.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Fight against the patriarchy. Break the game.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Kick him out. Kick him out. Amazing. Um, so I'm
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: going to switch up who starts. So we'll go back
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: to Julia and Ash as our, as our first team
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: to go. Um, like I said, all of these comments
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: under the same scene. So I'm going to say it. Yeah.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: If you can guess the scene off of it, that
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: will be the highest amount of points.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: We'll get more and more specific as we go.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: And can I guess every time? Or like, if I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: guess on the first comment, am I done?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: You can guess every time, but you will only make
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: the point if it's correct. If it's correct. Okay.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: First comment. The awkwardness between everyone, the revelations, the confrontations,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: the insults, all the dirty looks.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, this is a classic gossip roll scene.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 8: Okay that's helpful class so what's a classic gossip girl.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: Okay i'm gonna say um it's a thanksgiving scene and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: one of the thanksgivings yeah where they're because there's always
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: a weird mashup of people who are there for no
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: reason and there's always something crazy going on i am.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Gonna have you have to like get real specific on
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: like because there's lots of overarching like up That's the
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: same as like a party scene. It's like there's a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: million of those. So try and get a little bit
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: more specific in the episode.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: There's one I feel like where there's like Eleanor's there
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: and I don't know, one of those ones. How am
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: I supposed to be specific about these guys? I don't
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: remember any of them specifically.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the only one I remember, did it come out that....
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: I don't remember Serena's mom's name, but that she and
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 8: Rufus had dated previously.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Did that happen during?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. So when they're all in the loft in Brooklyn.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: That specific one.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Not that episode.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: Dang.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: Sick. Okay. Next one.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: This scene was actually written so well. All the tensions
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: were fully fleshed. And it truly shows the power of
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: the writers that every single fight slash storyline was memorable
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: as each character left the table. OK, so you're probably
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: right that it's like dinner or I think gathering.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: I would like to go with the one where I
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: think Jenny is there and Vanessa.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: I think it's another loft one. Yeah.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: Another like thanksgiving dinner situation because i remember like everyone
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: leaving the table angry because of something that happened can
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: i do that is that specific enough.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: If you could give me like one of the fights
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: or storylines because that could still be three other thanksgiving
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: episodes you are on the right track with thanksgiving yeah.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Um i think maybe the one where Vanessa or Jenny,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: they're like fighting about Nate.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: Is that a Thanksgiving episode?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's in the same one you've already mentioned.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Fuck.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: They were doing that season one?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know if that was season one.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 8: The one that I remember I thought was season one
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: was like, I imagine that that was season one because
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 8: that's when it came out that Mrs.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: Vanderwoods and Mr. Humphrey were together.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've had to change. Was that the same one?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I thought that was the season one one.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 8: So how could season one Ginny and Vanessa be fighting
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 8: over Nate?
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: So that could have been a different one.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Okay.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: Got it. I can take that one.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the one.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: Let's do that. Okay.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: That was probably like season two or something.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: It's not the season one more.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: It's definitely not that one, but let's go.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: This is like a straight quote from the, the, the scene.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: So you'll, you will need to give me like, again,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: another plot point or something that like specifies it like.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Where it's at.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Your sweet potatoes are bland.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: And Oh, that was said by Eric to Jenny. Um,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: they were in a fight. I wonder if that was
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: the same fight about the boyfriend, but yeah, it was
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Eric to Jenny.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: So that was okay.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: I was describing the one where everybody left mad, but
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: I couldn't think of anything else about it.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: It wasn't at the loft. So I'm going to give
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: you the point for that. It's the one where they're
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: at the Vanderwoods and Rufus Humphrey house. Like it's a
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: different place.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: They're not in Brooklyn.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: They're in the city. But it's the what you say
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving episode where everyone is fighting and they all slowly
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: leave the table. And as each one leaves the table,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: it's the what you say.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: OK, see, I could like picture them all leaving, but
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: I didn't know. I couldn't like actually remember what was
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: happening in that episode.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: I just knew that everyone was pissed.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone was very pissed at that scene.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: And that's appropriate to most episodes of Gossip Girl.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: I don't necessarily know exactly what's happening, but most people
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: are pissed.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 5: Very true. Okay. We got a point?
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, you did.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: Yay!
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: We got on that third one. It's so hard because
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: I was like, I need to do a Thanksgiving episode,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: but there is one in every single season, so it's like.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: Is it the one where Serena's recapping when she got
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: hit by a car and there was a pumpkin pie?
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Or was it when they were in the loft? Or
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: is it the french fries in the diner because something
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: always happens? Or with Bart. Or with Bart, yeah. There's
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: lots of them.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking it was until the last one.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: Love.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: Okay. Dang.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: Other team, are you ready for yours?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Your first comment is, I wish this friendship was highlighted
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: and given more room to grow. The side eyes Blair
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: and Jenny exchanged at the club is everything.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: They would have made a great team.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, the banishment, if the person was talking about
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: like the storyline, direct reaction to the storyline, then the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: banishment scene would make sense when Blair banishes Jenny out
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 7: of the city for sleeping with Chuck. I don't think
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 7: it's probably going to be this one, but we could
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 7: lock this one in to rule it out.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go for it. Because that's a big one.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: That's a huge, yeah. And it's like, they didn't give
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: that friendship enough time. She got banished.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: Right, right.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 7: And we later find out that Jenny was the one
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 7: who sent it in to Gossip Girl so that Blair
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: would banish her. Okay, that or it's when Blair picks her.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: As the queen. That was such a good episode.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: Okay, let's first do the banishment because it's like the
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: most obvious answer.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: It is not the banishment episode.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: Round two. I loved seeing the nuances and dynamic between
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: Blair and Jenny here. Seeing how Blair was slowly molding
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: her and prepping her, knowing that Jenny wanted into the group,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: then toying with her and ditching only to find out
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: Jenny ends up outplaying her and beating her at her
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: own game, leaving Blair impressed. It shows that Blair always
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: had the power, but Jenny was the one girl who
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: always had something up her sleeve.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 6: It's the thieving, the stealing a dress storyline.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: And then that's when she ends up giving her the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 7: blessing as the queen.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: And being like, oh, Jenny can hang. Yeah.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because like the whole episode, she's trying to help
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 7: them pick who takes over at Constance as the queen.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: And then is.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: That when she steals the dress too?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: And then at the end.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: It's the annual slumber party. I haven't seen a single
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: episode of the show. It's at the slumber, her annual,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: Blair's annual slumber party. And Serena's not invited, but little
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: Jay is invited. But then it turns out it's a
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: prank where they have her steal a dress and from
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: Blair's mom's store. And then, but then the cops come
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: to arrest her and she's like, no, I'm not stealing.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: I'm Blair Waldorf. Why would I have a key?
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Why do I have her key chain? That's what I think.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 7: She initially starts to gain Blair's respect, but that's at
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 7: the beginning of like their relationship. So I think that
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: the comment would make the most sense for it to
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 7: be coming more towards the end of the relationship when
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: Blair is like, Or when we know that the storyline is.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Unless it's a rewatcher. That's such a good point. That's
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: such a good point. That is hard.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: What do we want to do?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: What's luck in yours, Audra?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just have a good feeling about it. I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: have a good feeling about it.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: And you should, because that's the answer.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: I was like, dude, she's pulling out this random fucking knowledge.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: Their last one, which if you would have gone with
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: the other one, you would have kicked yourself, Taylor, was
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: Jenny was such a baby girl here. You can tell
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: she brings her Hello Kitty sleeping bag and her bunny slippers,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: and you can tell how she's losing her innocence.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I feel like it's the same.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Audra, fantastic job calling out the rewatch.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 5: Fantastic.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: So I was a Tumblr girly.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: I know a rewatch comment when I see one. OK,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: so this second round of comments is going to be
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: a little harder. Dig a little bit more deep in
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: the recesses of your brain. These ones are meant to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: stump you. There had to be something that stumped you.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, I want to just say that the other comments
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: we had were so vague. I mean, unless these are
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: as vague as that, I think we're at already that level.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: These ones, there's literal character names in there. Okay.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: There's character names in these.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: Okay. That is quite helpful.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: I almost just said this. I have the scene and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: then the comments. I remember what the scene is and
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: I almost just said this.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Read this you're so good for not doing.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: That yeah that's incredible scene oh no comments comments you're
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: reading the comments all right so harder.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: Faster.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Stronger. Harder, better, faster, stronger is what I.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: Got from that.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: Harder. I haven't been listening to romance novels. We're good.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: It's fine. It's fine.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: It's fine.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: You're correct.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: Julia and Ash, your second scene. The first comment. Anyone
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: else actually rooting for the bad guys in the fourth season?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: There's a part of me that's always glad to see
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: bad things happen to Snorina. To have little Jay's real
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: life band playing in the background as it happens is
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: just icing on the cake.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: What happens during fourth season?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: Shit.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: This was one of the seasons that I watched the
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: recap and I don't remember what happens here. I'm going
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: to guess that it is during Cotillion.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, I bet.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: Whenever Jay is queen and she like pisses everybody off.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: Let's do that.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: That's just always my when so-and-so pisses everybody off. I'm
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: going to go with that.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It is not cotillion.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is the second comment.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, this was my definite favorite scene in
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: all of Gossip Girl. The music went perfectly with it.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: The masks, the impersonations. I just thought it was perfectly executed.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: And although the show was going a bit weak later on,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: I loved seeing Jenny. It was really a reminiscence of
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: the perfectly done first two seasons.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I never get tired of the scene.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: Was there a masquerade ball?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, there was a masquerade ball where they were all
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: Serena's and there was a masquerade ball where Jenny was
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: like switched outfits with Serena.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: And there was a masquerade. I'm sure there was another one. Yeah.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: Um, Yeah, I'm gonna guess it's that masquerade ball where
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: I think it's Juliet, Jenny, and somebody else pretending to
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: be Serena to.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 5: Fuck with Dan and Nate.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: Is there consensus?
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: It is that scene. During that scene, it makes me
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: want to die, but the pretty necklace is on the background.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: That's so funny.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: One of the greatest regrets of my college career is
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: that We never orchestrated a masquerade.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 5: That could have been so much fun.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: And like, I feel like, Ash, you and I, as
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: like events coordinators at the campus, we probably could have
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 6: made that happen. But I think I think the prospect
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 6: of smooching would be too high for our school to
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: ever do. ever allow that to happen.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: Also, like, Eyes.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 8: Wide Shut is, like, kind of one of the things
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: you associate with, like, modern masquerade stuff, and so they'd
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 8: probably be like, we do not, that's not religiously cool.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: That's so true. That's satanic as hell.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: They would have never let us, unless we could have
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: gotten the theme right. In some way, like an event
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: theme in Masquerade.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Yes. Do like a spring fling. The theme is Masquerade.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: All of our sketches that we have to write are Masquerade.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: All right. Are we ready for the last scene?
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: Taylor and Audra.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: Comment number one. Welcome to those who understood what type
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: of a party in the Hamptons, in quotes, it was.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, this is Damien Delgarde.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: This is when the.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 7: go back to upstate, well, the Hamptons, where I think it's,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 7: they're looking for Damien, this isn't season six where they're
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: trying to find Serena, is it? They're back, Okay.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: Hold on.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: They go back.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: There's a party.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 7: Blair and Dan are together looking for Serena. Damien Dalgard
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: is there and that's, or maybe it's Dan and Georgina
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: are looking for Serena and it's Damien Dalgard who tells them.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: There's a party in the Hamptons.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: No way. I know what you're talking about, but there
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: are so many things that could be this comment that like,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to like consider.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: Good luck.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah the only thing that i ever the the only
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: thought that i had was vitamin water white party because i.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: Was like is that the hamptons i have i'm too
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: you would have a white party in the hamptons yeah.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: I grew up to working class to even know what
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: the vibe of the hamptons would hypothetically.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: Be well i think it's like trying to say that
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 7: we know the secret purpose of this party in the
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 7: Hamptons and they're all hooking up or drugs or whatever.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 6: Georgina tries to get Serena to get back on drugs.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. Because that never even happens in
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: this show.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: But Dan.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 10: Sorry then the recaps i want oh you know what
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 10: you're i i'm so sorry you're probably right but um
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 10: okay could we guess could we guess the one where
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 10: they find damien delgarden he gives them information absolutely let's
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 10: do that that's a more reasonable thing okay because you've
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: seen this show Let's knock this off as like the
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 10: one that's going to keep sticking in my brain until
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: Jen tells me it's wrong.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 6: And this is the least likely comment for us to
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: get it right. And so just eliminating it, it'll be
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: the most helpful.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go for the thing that Taylor described.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: It's wrong. Very wrong. Yeah. Like wrong season wrong. I'm
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: not going to give you that.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: You don't get that.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: No, it's wrong.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: Comment number two. In this scene, every single detail is
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: just perfect. The reason why Nate and Serena kissed is
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: so good. And the fact that he smiled knowing what
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: she had in mind and continuing to kiss her is stunning.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: The music was perfect and the passion between them is obvious.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: This is one of the best scenes slash kisses in
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: the whole series.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: When Nate and Serena kiss? Nate and Serena kiss.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: in the very beginning when they're like dating and hooking
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 7: up or hooking up, then they kiss later on when
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 7: he is with.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: The Duchess. The one that's the actress from Twin Peaks.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: That sounds right.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 7: And Serena is helping Dan make her jealous.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: The show is so juicy.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: Do we want to lock that in?
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: We should really watch it.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: Sure, let's lock that in. Let's lock it in. Can
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: you say that one more time? So it's the party.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: I think it is a white party.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: And it's when Serena and Nate are.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: Fake dating to hide his affair with the Blair's lord,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 7: the lord that she dates, his step-mommy, who he's also fucking.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 7: But Nate Was hooking up with. And then she paid him.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: I can't remember this character's name.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: I think she's the duchess. She is the duchess.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: You're correct.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: This is that scene. And it is the vitamin white,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: the vitamin water. Oh my God.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: That's so funny.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 10: You got it on the first, like you were like
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 10: party in the Hamptons, the vitamin water white party.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: And I was like, yep, that's the one. That's hilarious.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: Can we just go back and remove all references to
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: me saying I haven't watched this show and just see
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: if anybody notices.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly it.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: And it's when the last comment is about Dan being
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: mad that he saw them kissing. And it's like, dude,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: you literally just spent your whole summer kissing girls. And
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: then he gets slapped and it's really satisfying. So that's
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 3: always good. Okay, that's the end of round three. Let's
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: download this epicness and.

• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: And vanessa would do that to you yeah.
• 1:24:09

  Speaker 3: All right, scores are at www.IHateRufusHumphrey.gov is on 14 points,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: and Blair Waldorf Salad is on 12 points. But it
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: can all change in the quickfire round. Before we get
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: to the quickfire round, let's talk about prizes. This episode's
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: star prize is all of the wonderfully old cell phones
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: in season one and two. The Motorola flip phones, the blackberries,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: the LG chocolates.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: Love.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: But our winning team will also receive being invited to
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: Little J's baby shower. So, you know, double whammy. Up
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: next is our crucial quickfire round, but first we must
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: play one final set of ads. Our quickfire round is
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: going to look a little different than it typically does
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: on a fandomonium with a game called Carnal Knowledge. In
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: this game, each team will have 90 seconds to communicate
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: a list of 10 items to their partner without saying
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: the word on the list. We have a timer here,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: so we will count down. It's going to be reflected
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: for you all, but I will keep the time and
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: give you some time calls. But essentially, it's going to
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: be taboo style. Here's your list. Try and get your
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: teammate to guess that word. You can move to the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: next one. If it feels like they're stuck, come back
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: kind of thing. You can pass and come back. So
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: it is going to be one list per team. We
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: will have Audra and Taylor go first. So who wants
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: to be the guesser? I'll send the list to whoever.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: Who wants to be the guesser and who wants to
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: be the describer? Do you have immediate preferences?
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling you're going to be better at guessing.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 6: Heck yeah. I, my one, the thing that I will
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: say is I don't have as much of a, I
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 6: don't know if I remember everybody's name or that type
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: of thing. So you may have to delve outside of
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 6: the realm of gossip girl to get me to say
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 6: some of these words, but I'm super.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: Down for it.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: These are lists of words vaguely related to the show.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: It can be as common as martini and as specific.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: as a place that they go to during the show.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: So it will be partly references, partly just things that
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: are relevant. So truly use any words you want to
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: to get them to say the thing. Yeah.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 7: And I just feel like I can throw a ton
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: of words at you, Audra, and you're going to find
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 7: what you need to find out of it.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Sift through it.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: I'm going to let that.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 7: that brain work of yours on double speed.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah all right have a couple sips of tea send
• 1:27:08

  Speaker 3: it to the right person confirm for me that you
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: received the text you will get a point for every
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: correct answer so it's points out of 10 because there's
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: 10 things on the list so if you get right
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: point and then we'll move on and i can get
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: whatever whatever order i want yeah it's just those 10
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: words okay all right are you ready Yes.

  Speaker 1: Okay.

• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: the describer?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 8: I would be very down to be the describer, but
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 8: also if that is something that you want to do,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 8: I am also cool to be guesser.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 5: No, I have anxiety either way, so I'll be the guesser.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 8: Cool, I have less anxiety about being the clue giver.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: And you all have 90 seconds. Do you feel good?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: sometimes people.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 5: Jesus camp? Yes.
• 1:30:46

  Speaker 8: lady of a certain religion.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: Bat mitzvah? Yeah.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: And then this was one of the things that Audra
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 8: said that was right about that one thing that she
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 8: didn't know was right immediately.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: It was a product that you drink.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, oh my gosh. Vitamin water?

• 1:32:21
  Speaker 4: Dan starts talking to this one girl who's new to Constance.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: and um the mean girls think that serena needs to
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 4: gain her power back so they do this nair cocktail

• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: it at people's hair But she was compensated by Chuck Bass.

  Speaker 5: That's true. Oh, that's right. Yes. It was a scheme.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 7: She was a scheme, but the Nair was not a
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 7: part of Chuck Bass's scheme, but she was a scheme
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 7: with like.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: like to plug? Anything you're doing right now?
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: Um, I am a person who continuously tries new avenues
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: of creating art. And so you can find that on
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: my Instagram, which I have now changed to make easier
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: to find.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: It's ash with three H's, wood with three O's.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: And you can see right now I'm trying to make
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 4: art every day because, you know, Inktober.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: And all of those challenges are happening.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 4: So I'm trying to make art in my current favorite medium,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: which is oil pastels.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 5: So. That's what I'm up to.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: Strong hyping up of Ash's art. Julia walked into our
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 6: house earlier today and said, pointed at an oil pastel
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 6: that Ash did and said, is that new?
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: I love that. So independent shout out.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: Heck yes, Ash would. We love. What about you, Taylor?
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: Anything you'd like to plug?
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 7: I also have an art profile on Instagram that I
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 7: get into ADHD bursts where I download Instagram and I
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 7: will post them of my art and then I delete
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 7: it again for my mental health. Studio THL is the
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: Instagram handle.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: Love, love.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 1: Absolutely gorgeous art.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 6: We had to take down because we were prepping for
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 6: getting the photos of our house and like making our
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 6: house as bland as possible. And so it was devastating
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: to take down photos. The painting that you made for us.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: And we were like, we can't.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: We can't.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 7: You want a naked body on your wall for your
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 7: house photos?
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: I really like painting naked bodies. As you should. Everyone
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: seems to do. They're everywhere in paintings.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 6: Honestly, maybe if we would have left it up, someone
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 6: would have put an offer in on our house.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: Then they would want the art.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: And we can't. You could just send them to Taylor.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: That's true. This one's mine.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 5: Ugh.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: Derek will come into my studio space and he says,
