BiD: Break it Down • Gilmore Girls

Original Air Date: September 26, 2006 BiD Recording Date: September 14, 2025 I can scare the stupid out of you, but the lazy runs deep. B&D kick off the final season and notice that  the Palladino-less, CW-moved Gilmore girls is totally…the same show we’ve always loved! Danny recounts his racquetball history, Briana praises the sexiness of Cartagena, and they both explore “I don’t wanna talk a...

Original Air Date: May 9, 2006 BiD Recording Date: August 30, 2025 Only you can make you wait. B&D welcome Simone back for their silver 25th anniversary and this semen-al season finale. They explore “buskers,” decades-old fashion through a 9 year old’s eyes, and cutting a guy off when necessary. Melaura Linney is a high, Rory’s botched Fatal Attraction quote is a low, and constant female apolo...

Original Air Date: May 2, 2006 BiD Recording Date: August 18, 2025 I love when you give me your pickle. Hop in the car and join B&D for a smorgasbord of hot-button topics: Driving Miss Daisy ’s scandalous Oscar history, blonde on Bri, Danny’s disability, Nicole Kidman’s beauty, full beards, decades-long baby gaps, the spelling of cum, generic packaging, men called “bois,” and weed being danger...

Original Air Date: April 25, 2006 BiD Recording Date: August 10, 2025 I feel like I’m 15 again. Jackson is SO getting under my bra tonight. B&D welcome real-life mother-daughter duo Holly & Hattie into the medically inaccurate world of Gilmore girls ! They fit right in with mom grievances, fashion judgment, and insight into teenage girls. But Holly’s ride-or-die mentality makes her an Anna...

Original Air Date: April 18, 2006 BiD Recording Date: August 2, 2025 Lorelai Gilmore, disappointing mothers since 1968. This episode inspires so many trips down memory Lane: Clueless vocabulary, Jessica’s controversial Lumina nomination, Kelcey’s wedding gays, dick assessments over the years, walking oneself down the aisle… Kimchi-lover Briana is highly aware of Korean slander here, while tenured...

Original Air Date: April 11, 2006 BiD Recording Date: July 27, 2025 Luke’s the only one who knows how to rub it to get it  working again. Hi Felicia! She’s back to groan at the passive aggressiveness of our girls, and to defend Emily. While Luke and Rory both travel “cross country,” B&D&F discuss April’s spectrum schoolmates, pain vs. discomfort, the mistreatment of Lane’s wedding dress, a...

Original Air Date: April 4, 2006 BiD Recording Date: July 22, 2025 You could’ve hooked up with a hot chick in rhinestone buttons? Who was it, Sheila E?! At 22, Logan was faithful “for the first time ever!” At twice his age, B’day Girl Briana has almost all of her teeth. She and Swag Danny  explore gay sock drawers, Friends home jingles, and Antonio Sabato Jr. This one’s for  Mrs. Kim - she’s Mr. e...

Original Air Date: February 28, 2006 BiD Recording Date: July 15, 2025 I’m sick of people touching my stuff! No Melissa McCarthy in this Bridesmaids -centric episode?! Thank goodness 14-timer Briana is *perspicacious* about that topic. She and Danny explore Rory & Logan’s “on a break” quandary, Lorelai & Christopher’s our-brilliant-daughter foreplay, and unexpected TV veteran Abigail Spenc...

Original Air Date: February 14, 2006 BiD Recording Date: July 7, 2025 See, this is why I hesitate asking people about their social lives… Although Rory and Luke are acting INSANE , B&D find value in this episode - and in Valentine’s Day beyond romance. They explore the spectrum of performing/existing as a young adult, and applaud the intimacy of just sitting & talking in bed. Now get lost,...

Original Air Date: February 7, 2006 BiD Recording Date: June 28, 2025 He’s a cool guy - great apartment, funny… He’s taken, Chris . Briana never gets travel tummy trauma, and Danny never shuts up about Mariah Carey and Oscars past. They also babble about college clothes, hot/hunky parents, and wrap dresses. How the hell do you pronounce WEIL?! Pop Tart Pause : Rolls

Original Air Date: January 31 , 2006 BiD Recording Date: June 10, 2025 And that’s how we do it at the Daily NEWS! The chocolate water B&D barely sip is sending them down all kinds of tangents, from Billy Joel to Toni Braxton to Meryl Streep. Briana especially hates Rory in this ep, Danny has read Kelly Bishop’s memoirs, and they both praise that ending sequence as an all-timer. Pop Tart Pause:...

Original Air Date: January 17, 2006 BiD Recording Date: May 31, 2025 Welcome to the SH, bitch! There are some Sexiest Men Alive B&D would both fuck, only one would fuck, and plenty that neither would fuck. Listen to find out who’s in which category - plus conversation on frequent names, board of advisors, and fucking Anna’s stupid dialogue. Pop Tart Pause: Donuts

Original Air Date: January 10, 2006 BiD Recording Date: May 25, 2025 If you need some love, get a hooker. If you’re having a bad day, find a ledge or a way to deal. B&D establish their Steam Status and renew their hatred for Anna and love for Mrs. Kim in this foreskin-heavy ep. Briana owns her all-colors-friendly skin tone and Danny pays respect to JLo’s “protection haircut.” All this plus Ton...

Original Air Date: November 22, 2005 BiD Recording Date: May 18, 2025 Look at this, two sinks - I’m so decadent. B&D inquire, but do NOT get to the bottom of some significant mysteries: What happened with BK in 1983? Who has casual kabobs for lunch? Why does Lane like Zach?  All this plus Yackoff (is that Spanish for Jackoff?) and his Randall sister in another lively BiD! Pop Tart Pause: Rolls

Original Air Date: November 15, 2005 BiD Recording Date: May 10, 2025 I thought you’d be happy.  I am. I’m just sad at the same time. You never been with a woman before? What a tremendous intersection of Then & Now and This & That for Amy & Paul - uh, B&D! They connect Gg to This Is Us, Nobody Wants This, Million Dollar Baby, Bad Santa , and of course, two other 2005 gems: Six Feet...

Original Air Date: November 8, 2005 BiD Recording Date: May 3, 2025 Actually, I don’t like problems. I avoid them and I don’t like people pointing them out to me. It’s time to circumcise the wagon: Jess is back and Danny is…glad to see him?! Briana reminisces about her days of physical aggression in sports, while Danny has hot takes on magenta and theater/re. Madonna really was amazing! Pop Tart P...

Original Air Date: October 25, 2005 BiD Recording Date: April 27, 2025 Last year I was sleeping with the editor… …And this year I am! B&D recall their own 21st birthdays and, fittingly, go on a tangent about Adolescence . They find common ground in (lack of) holiday decorations and small sausages (!) in an episode chock full of intimacy, lovely Luke, and Rory’s Cousin. Pop Tart Pause: Chocolat...

Original Air Date:  October 18, 2005 BiD Recording Date: April 19, 2025 I’m beyond coffee. I’m fueled by my righteous indignation.  B&D are back to ponder about berkens, ironing and crusty bulges. Briana puts on her Inconsistency Police Hat once again, while Danny reveals a surprising testosterone history. Men, put your hand(s) on our heads when you kiss us! All dollhouses matter!  Pop Tart Pa...

Original Air Date: October 11, 2005 BiD Recording Date: April 12, 2025 ‘ Do you know her?’ I’m only her best friend, who the hell are you? B&D realize that life is complicated, okay? Between choosing how to refer to a significant other, when it’s okay to call someone “honey,” and all the California points of interest, there’s a lot to consider. Not to mention Danny’s tumultuous relationship wi...

Original Air Date: October 4, 2005 BiD Recording Date: April 5, 2025 You’re gonna be one of those old weird people who hoard empty film canisters and laundry measuring scoops. GONNA be? Snarcastic B&D are back to celebrate baseball butts, female friendships, Nick Offerman, talk show hosts as dramactresses, and peach hues. Of course they have some grievances too: Danny’s “Americano Takeaway” ab...

Original Air Date: September 27, 2005 BiD Recording Date: March 23, 2025 Right now, my ass is probably as good as it’s ever gonna get. Although they still have not had a proper PTP, B&D carry on with the same Class & Crass they’re known for. They explore sleeping naked, peaking over a decade ago, and some series-low bangs. Danny celebrates Coldplay and foreskinshadows some travel, while Br...

Original Air Date: September 20, 2005 BiD Recording Date: March 16, 2025 Come down here so I can kiss you. All of you.  B&D are back together in person, having a Mint March in LA. They work through Briana’s Mark mix-up, Danny’s blindness to womens’ face work, and Alphabetical Privilege. This BiD is unofficially sponsored by Manuka Honey. Pop Tart Pause: Junior Mints

Original Air Date: September 13, 2005 BiD Recording Date: March 9, 2025 She stays in the room until I’m completely done saying something. I need that. Is charm a masculine trait? Are dropouts more attractive than enrolled students? Why is Lorelai open to more kids now? How early do Richard and Emily go to bed?! These questions and more may or may not be answered as B&D kick off the penultimate...

Original Air Date: May 17, 2005 BiD Recording Date: February 28, 2025 Big hole! Big bat! Chatty Poet Briana can’t stop rhyming, or singing the praises of Rory’s hair and this never-better show. Name-brand-blind Danny reveals his go-to when he’s upset. We should’ve had a 10 lb. salami for this semen-al season finale! Pop Tart Pause: Bread and Water

Original Air Date: May 10, 2005 BiD Recording Date: February 21, 2025 Great datcha, this datcha. Here’s some tea on B: she’s not on birth control, she’s loving orange, she hates how dumb Lorelai is in this ep, and she’s always “down.” Here’s some D-tails: he doesn’t think all kids are cute, he respects an intimate leg-stroke, he rejects baby showers on the day the baby comes home, and he mispronou...
