Holy hell this is a hot one!! Not like sexy but just a very good episode of the podcast. This week Rebecca is joined by the seriously funny Brian Bennett to discuss the dreaded high school love triangle! Brian’s involves his First Love “Annie” (smart, churchgoing girl) and best friend “Hunter” (who is also sorta First Love). Rebecca must once again confront her life’s obvious patterns as she discusses Anna and her boyfriend Danny (very hot and nice). Rebecca and Brian get very real as they talk: being a side dish when you should be an entree, is self love having a crush on someone who is like you?, “The Gentleman’s Spot” (The G Spot), all boys catholic school, TWO crush sleepovers, can you ever ask a friend not to date your crush? Aaron Carter, when everything changed, and more !Sounds dramatic because it is ya dweeb! But in a good way.

Let’s Just Hide! with Robel AregaThis week we thought you deserved some R&R. That’s Rebecca & Robel, babyyy!!! The very funny and good Robel Arega, specifically. He’s telling Rebecca about a handful of middle school crushes, including MARIAH and LEXI- or should we say, “bella”. Rebecca is taking it to North Beach for her high school crush, JESSE- or should we say, nice basic white boy? Speaking of white boys, what’s the deal with them? Rebecca has questions. Valentine’s Day rejections, a failed love letter, needing validation, being “charming” but not dateable, when boys don’t have a crush on Rebecca are they just racist (no, but liiiiike), a magical week of band camp, not so subtle facebook posts, and more!

Oh my GAWD there’s a lot of “oh my gawd”s in this ep. This week Rebecca is joined by the lovely Emily Clouse (Reductress, The Onion) to talk about her crush on class clown BEN, who lingered from 8th grade through high school. Rebecca is talking about AJ, a dream boy straight out of the Z Boys, okay?? VERY hot, off the charts, rock and roll. They also talk early celeb crushes, including Justin Berfield aka Reese from Malcolm in the Middle and Nat Wolff from…The Naked Brothers Band. There’s a homecoming dance, a moment of true cowardice, first makeouts, Rebecca is doing Fine and definitely not Self Sabotaging, high school musical theater drama, not being worthy of a Hot, and, oh, ya'll wanted a twist?? Then listen!!Follow Emily on twitter at: @ emilyfclouseFollow Rebecca on twitter at: @ AlmondMilkHotelFollow Classroom Crush on twitter at: @ ClassroomCrush SONGS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: I’m With You - Avril Lavigne Everytime - Britney Spears Be Be Your Love - Rachael YamagataAlmost Lover - A Fine Frenzy

This week Rebecca is joined by the most prepared guest thus far, the hilarious Richie Owens (Please Make This)!! No shade to the other guests, we love you all and you are perfect. But like, Richie brought an outline and time stamps. He’s telling Rebecca all about his sophomore crush CARLY, and holy shit the stories!! There’s like, multiple scenes that could be the sole focus of an entire episode of this podcast, so we are very grateful and proud of this jam packed piece of content we are giving you. Rebecca is talking about ERIK, a middle school crush that was one of the first to force her to become the best friend instead of potential romantic figure. There’s so much to unpack and it’s ALL good. We got the whole rebranding your crush as a “sibling” when you feel rejected, playful ribbing as a form of immature sexual tension, bad movie watching body language, getting made fun of, a straight up RUMBLE for love, a beautiful slow dance, a preteen existential crisis, monumental moments at The Fair (be there, the fair!), why we’re so insecure, and so much more!

Clearly we’re obsessed with Clickhole because this week we have another amazing writer, Noah Prestwich on the show! We (me, Rebecca, writing this) love this episode for so many reasons so you just need to listen to it to find out WHY. Noah is telling Rebecca about a fifth grade crush experience that was integral in forming guilt-based anxiety, while Rebecca is talking about “HUNTER”, a guy in high school she thought was really hot and (spoiler alert) had sex with. Did Noah murder his fifth grade crush? Why did Rebecca make sexual moves instead of emotional connections? PLUS: shared checking impulses, Rebecca and Noah need to go to therapy, feeling deserving of a relationship, not knowing what is “normal” behavior, adolescent fashion, Rebecca feeling like Oprah, and all of the good things you’d ever want in a podcast and we feel confident in saying that.

AH!! This week Rebecca has fallen in love with another boy who has a girlfriend but MORE IMPORTANTLY, she is truly honored to have Grace Thomas (Clickhole, The Onion, good comedy you should see) on the show!! She’s telling Rebecca about a few integral high school crushes, including MAGGIE, the love letter writer, and GUS, the debate camp dream boy! Rebecca is talking about CAMILO, and she’s embarrassed by literally every word she ever sent to him. There’s a lot to get to: Peter Pan’s Jeremy Sumpter, realizing your queerness, relationship fears, backing away from a good thing, Watchmen, NOT talking about P*R BT*M, hot improv boys, literally so much we love it.
