What’s the Verdict? with Nick Reit and Jess Jones

 “Bottoms up, and the Devil laughs”! Your Critics (Nick and Jess) and their choices (Selling Sunset, Bridgerton, Grammys, and more) are IN. They may not know all the words to Harry’s new bop, but they DO know that celebrities are boring now, Jack Harlow is approachable, and A24 producing the Marcel the Shell movie is the right move. Can Nick and Jess find a cure for interacting with their phones in their sleep? Does Awards Season fashion matter anymore? How does ‘As It Was’ actually go?!

 Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry…Caroline Dunn? Yes, she is BACK and more grateful than ever! Caroline updates Nick and Jess on her comedy journey since moving to New York City, the Bushwick stand-up scene, and if it’s worse to be Officecore or Friendscore in 2022. Since she debuted Approach the Bench last time she was here, Caroline ushers in a brand new WTV game (Warning: STORYTIME involved)!!! If you’ve been contemplating switching baristas or want to know what’s inside Caroline’s gratitude journal, then this is the episode for you!

Well, Judgies…don’t say we never gave you anything, “loOoOsers”! A very tired Jess and a very sick Nick put their courtussy into this episode as they speculate the track list for Harry’s House (“Upstairs Bathroom”...summer bop?), take you through their slow viewing of Inventing Anna in real time, and celebrate Charli XCX’s crash into mainstream pop. The Tits have us wanting to try everything, and Tats prove that some exclusions apply.

The pod finally gets its long-awaited soul cleanse! Jess and Nick are joined by multi-disciplinary artist, Libby Rounds, to talk about Lady Gaga’s star chart (and maybe what it means to be a Virgo rising), the skin of a honeydew, and all things spiritual! After sharing their experiences with yoga, and the cult of a studio they encountered along with it (#FindTheFounder), Libby finally helps Nick and Jess let go of their monkeypaw fears…and maybe manifests them a Shamrock Shake? For more artistic and yoga news from Libby, follow them @linty4000 on Instagram!

BREAKING NEWS: Sydney Sweeney “Did a thing”! Nick is a Whitney Rose Sun, Meredith Marks Moon, Heather Gay rising!  How I Met Your Father got a 20 episode Season 2 pickup and Jess will be watching! And a Harry Styles EXCLUSIVE moment right here on the pod! Your hosts know it, and so do you, “The only way forward/ahead is through”, so join us as we power through our Anna Delvey impressions, speculate the SFX of RuPaul’s magic chocolate bar, and tell angry ASMR bread stories. If there really is a MulTATverse, we’re so glad you’ve joined us in this world, Judgies.

This episode is a re-release of an iconique What’s the Verdict episode. It’s a chill girls’ hangout in the courtroom this week….but SOMEONE is in the mood to start a fight?! Nick and Jess both take a stab at Approach the Bench...as well as Olivia Rodrigo’s “deja vu” (Girls, it’s just “Cruel Summer” Lite!). Producer Brian hops into the chat to discuss messy (like, soooo so messy) burgers, everyone thinks of something earth-shattering to ask before the shutdown of Yahoo Answers, and the highly controversial semantics are debated when it comes to the “mason jar aesthetic”. You can cut the tension in the room with a KNIFE/foam roller when it’s time for Tits and Tats. Does a runny egg belong on a burger? Am I perganart? WHO starts the first ever What’s the Verdict fight?! Listen to find out, and follow us on social at @theverdictpod/subscribe for more messy fun!

All aboard the struggle bus! Nick is coming back down to Earth after ~levitating~ all night long at the Dua Lipa concert, and he spares no detail about the experience. Jess reviews the new hit play, “Our Life” by Lexi Howard, and Nick claims the title of Ultimate Jacob Elordi Stan (if you didn’t watch and enjoy all three Kissing Booth movies, you’re out of the running…sorry). Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion predictions are made, and the women are ranked in order of the girls who get it. The Tits provide great insight on a new music artist and a classic food, while Tats leave everyone asking, “Why is it all connected?” (Manifest 8:28). Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, and follow us on Instagram and Twitter @theverdictpod for more Tits, Tats, and Tangents!

“Enough people in the Zoom to fill the Nile!” Jess and Nick dissect what it’s like to have a tweet go viral. Then, Producer Brian makes his Season 2 debut, and the crew is joined by Brian’s physiologist-future-surgeon-roommate-girlfriend, Eva, and Jess’ former co-worker-turned-lover, Sean, to give Nick some tips. Can podcasting get in the way of a relationship? Is dinner and a movie or coffee the better first date? Why is there so much polarization around the pet name “babe”? Competition gets more heated than the Superbowl as Nick pits his favorite couple friends against each other in a series of games! The Tits will have you seeing double and Tats will leave you questioning time as we know it. Eva and Sean don’t have social media, so please be OUR Valentines and follow us @theverdictpod on Instagram/Twitter, and listen everywhere, instead!

 *Lisa Barlow voice* JudgieEeEeEs, we’re back! After a restorative break, Nick and Jess announce court is back in session with some major fun…and major monkey-pawing. In 2022, Jess is all about toxic positivity and Nick is feeling, which is the first step to making something happen. Then, it’s time to catch up on everything that has hit every screen since we’ve been away: Search Party! Emily In Paris! Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! Spencer! How I Met Your Father! Love, Victor! Euphoria! The Tits give teachers and newspaper-reading fathers their flowers, and the Tats pose a fair question to the girlies of Google Docs and Instagram stories: why? We’re thrilled to be back, Judgies - in fact, we have “never, EVER been happier”! Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get podcasts, follow us @theverdictpod on Insta/Twitter, and stay tuned for more major fun! 

It’s been a looong year, and Nick and Jess are IN PERSON to recap all of it! Before Omg Icon took over NYC, Diana the Musical was taking the world by storm, and the What’s the Verdict hosts were lucky enough to see it together! Then, a looong year in review! The year 2021 has been a year of Tits, Tats, Fruits, Vegetables, Peace, Trust, Monkey-Paws, and Manifestations, and we send all our love and thanks to our guests, Producer Brian, and the Judgies for coming along on this wild ride of a first season! Be on the lookout for season two, starting February 2022, and if you miss us in the meantime, follow us @theverdictpod on Instagram and Twitter and go back and like, subscribe, and listen to anything from season one, streaming everywhere now!
