BiD: Break it Down • Gilmore Girls

Original Air Date: May 3, 2005 BiD Recording Date: February 15, 2025 On those National Geographic shows, people are so sweaty after a mating ritual. You two are powder dry. It’s Logry time! B&D unpack this immediate relationship and all its expectations by elders, plus hostess gifts. Danny admits his dancing blind spots and fills Briana in on Paper Moon , while she fondly recalls the janet . e...

Original Air Date: April 26, 2005 BiD Recording Date: February 8, 2025 That’s nanny! You know nanny. That makes me sad that you don’t remember nanny, she always liked you. B&D check in about Lauren Graham’s new role on The Z Suite and mull over their own generation somewhere between LG and the Z. They applaud this ep’s multi-lingual and chest hair representation, explore early-in-a-relationshi...

Original Air Date: April 19, 2005 BiD Recording Date: January 31, 2025 Once I sprained my pecs lifting a bird bath and they were no good to me ever again…got a big heavy ball here, how are your pecs? Hello hello hello to Stephen, an instant super-scholar of Stars Hollow! And goodbye to Dean, who disappears with such a disappointing whimper. B&D&S re-visit TP, may misuse “pigeon hole,” and...

Original Air Date: March 8, 2005 BiD Recording Date: January 18, 2025 Say that again slower, and with your pants off. Briana doesn’t like any of the women in this episode, despite entering her Top Era. Danny has entered his Less-Obese Era, and the only female (boxer) he’s not digging here is Logan. What DO B&D like? Shrinking , Rice-a-Roni, and Romantic Nausea. Pop Tart Pause: Ice Cream with P...

Original Air Date: March 1, 2005 BiD Recording Date: January 11, 2025 Yeah, Jessica Simpson and Donna from 90210. Spring (break) is coming early: Rory’s haira, flowers for Lola, and a thawing out between Luke & Lorelai. B&D mull over Washer/Drier Privilege, acknowledging outbursts, holding out for sex, and various A Star is Born s. Pop Tart Pause: Burnt Toast

Original Air Date: February 22, 2005 BiD Recording Date: January 5, 2025 Good man. Lesbian mother would be proud. Like Lorelai, B&D are two “women of a certain age.” This ep has things that bother Briana but shouldn’t, but at least it also has a fragmented connection to 90’s classics Only You and Before Sunrise . Danny is floored by Kirk’s leading lady/child and Rory’s insanely large window. P...

Original Air Date: February 1, 2005 BiD Recording Date: December 27, 2024 When a lady gives birth, she becomes woman AND a mother. Nearly 20 years after this Emmy-worthy ep aired, the impact and the dread of it all still resonate with B&D. They explore the delicate & daring act of being vulnerable with someone new, and morning re-realizations about relationship deaths. All this plus Rory’s...

Original Air Date: February 8, 2005 BiD Recording Date: December 17, 2024 You and me, we’re done.                                 B&D are far from done, but we’ve reached 100 episodes! And 1,000 downloads! As Rory TDR and proves she’s DTF, and Lorelai showcases a perfect sexy-wink and lavender dress, we float down Moon River and celebrate our genus-ness. Whether everyone Gknows it or not. Pop...

Original Air Date: February 1, 2005 BiD Recording Date: December 16, 2024 Sexual harassment is bad. No one touch anyone in any funny places unless specifically asked. Moving on. For B&D, “coming home” means San Francisco. Going to bed early. Rory’s curly hair. Frivolous humor era. As they give reverence to the SFSU pub, shoeless homes, bad haircuts and the danger of vow renewals, the spirit of...

Original Air Date: January 25, 2005 BiD Recording Date: December 6, 2024 You know who just snipped at my ear? Jack I don’t care. Moments after encountering Michel in real life, Briana and tsunami-survivor Danny reject snow and praise Walmart TV reunions. They explore less-fun skinny people, the gross expression “make love,” and coffee colorism. Listen until the end for the ABCs of B&D! Pop Tar...

Original Air Date: November 30, 2004 BiD Recording Date: December 1, 2024 People that you meet there will stay with you for the rest of your life. B&D find this ep immensely relatable - from the historian journaling, to the dad anniversaries, to falling asleep with the TV on! As Marty comes into his own (scarf included) and Richard puts Logan in his place, Briana’s type expands from shorties t...

Original Air Date: November 16, 2004 BiD Recording Date: November 25, 2024 You’re a lovely girl. As Danny says hello to 43, Rory barely remembers saying goodbye to Dean. B&D mull over nonsensical notes, flirting/fucking for food, salad-tossing origins, Casual Love Interest Privilege, and Homie HT. Who is this?! Pop Tart Pause : Bell Peppers

Original Air Date: November 9, 2004 BiD Recording Date: November 15, 2024 I smell meat. Is there meat? Briana introduces her favorite Kelsey Grammer-loving/Ross-shopping pal Julia not just to the BiD, but to Gilmore girls . While she isn’t an instant fan, the Emerson alum does appreciate an implied Yale Gang Bang. The ladies reveal a work connection to one of Rory’s suitors, Danny lights up at the...

Original Air Date: November 2, 2004 BiD Recording Date: November 9, 2024 Well, I’ll bring ‘dick’ up on the internet and see what comes up. It’s a good thing Briana is “credible,” because she nearly loses all credibility for never linking this semen-al episode to Titanic . Meanwhile, Danny links Logan to Ellen and resuscitates “In Da Club.” You don’t need to be young to “jump”! Pop Tart Pause: Pota...

Original Air Date: October 26, 2004 BiD Recording Date: October 30, 2024 We’re close, like…friends. Our Gilmore girls become procedural super heroes! B&D fire off their typical strong opinions about Chicago, leaving headlights on, Doyle’s destiny, Logan’s hair, men in cowboy hats, GG’s “aging,” last name addressing, and shoeless moviegoers. What an ACE episode! Pop Tart Pause: Iced Tea

Original Air Date: October 19, 2004 BiD Recording Date: October 25, 2024 I tried to work in a suicide but my schedule wouldn’t allow it. Briana has embraced LA life and once again is BiD-ing from her car. Meanwhile, Danny champions the depth of an old Hanson ‘bop. There’s still time to specify the appropriate usage of “mom” and “grandma,” establish a new privilege (LAP), and catch up on our corres...

Original Air Date: October 12, 2004 BiD Recording Date: October 21, 2024 Cribs, baby, watch it. B&D pay their respects to and appreciation for Jordin Sparks, tomatoes, and B’s legendary early-00’s truck. Lane taking risks and Sookie hamming it up as a politician’s wife? Yes please! “Bookbag” and “No comment”? Never. Pop Tart Pause: Cucumber

Original Air Date: October 5, 2004 BiD Recording Date: October 13, 2024 Lorelai, this thing we’re doing here, me and you… I just want you to know I’m in. I am all in. Today, at House of Pies, Briana officially comes out as a LD: Logan Defender. Meanwhile, Luke/Scott P confirm their own HCP and LBFP. B&D continue to explore the season 5 shift, her various Lumina homes, Mariah’s messages to “Fra...

Original Air Date: September 28, 2004 BiD Recording Date: October 6, 2024 I don’t know how long I can keep these Randy European men off me! For this gossipy episode, B&D check in on the pronunciation of certain words, Emily’s actual wealth status, and the light speed direct travel beam from Rome to Stars Hollow. This BiD is dedicated to the autumnal selections at Trader Joe’s, and Dame Maggie...

Original Air Date: September 21, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 29, 2024 Well buy me a boa and drive me to Reno cuz I’m open for business! Season 5, what a time to be alive! B&D explore the heightened cinematography, best & worst in some of our beloved characters, and what kissing does/doesn’t actually mean. Also: Ms. Patty’s is the ultimate sex spot, and kids are dumb. 👍🏽 Pop Tart P...

Original Air Date: May 18, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 21, 2024 Tom, I’m loving you like a two-dollar whore. At last: the game-changing, series-shifting season 4 finale that originally aired on the day of a legendary B&D photo shoot!  They explore the hard-hitting topics of then and now: Lorelai’s handwriting and physical comedy, safety (not) being an objective, Dean’s wildly low voice,...

Original Air Date: May 11, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 20, 2024 Why, am I gettin’ you hot? B&D are back together in person to reflect on vacating the dorms and not sharing negatives. Now in our DGAF 40’s, we proudly declare that we wish Jess(ica)’s hair was less womanly, Dean’s didn’t look like something circumcised, and strippers weren’t so hairless and slippery. We dedicate this episo...

Original Air Date: May 4, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 14, 2024 I rarely listen to anything anybody says, so… Things we endorse: men at bars with a book, local libraries, texting yourself, friends who haven’t had sex yet. Things we don’t: JD Vance, “gay” wheat decor, Jess’s hair. B&D: if you don’t want our kibbetts, don’t listen! Pop Tart Pause: Nutter Butters

Original Air Date: April 27, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 11, 2024 You’re not fat, grandma. Well thank you, Lorelai. She was close. B&D are always here for general pop culture: Spice Girls, Matchbox 20, Jack & Angie’s Oscar-winning performances, cheesecake on the floor. But they also have personal tidbits to share - including ones about stamps, noisy masturbating neighbors, and the s...

Original Air Date: April 20, 2004 BiD Recording Date: September 1, 2024 Her car looks just like Barbie’s! Listen…not every episode can be a winner.  But this one allowed Briana to spotlight some of her fave vocab words, and Danny to become a city birth year teacher. Summer camp, mushroom mullets, and My So-Called Life are also discussed before Dean’s INSANE run out of that alley. Pop Tart Pause: H...
