Yeah, that’s right. It’s Griffin friggen Newman. He’s one of #TheTwoFriends, he’s a Blank Check co-host, he’s starring in The Tick, and boy was he a loser in love. Just like Rebecca! This week, Rebecca has burdened Griffin with one of her most important crushes to date, BRENNAN. He really fucked her up and this episode is basically why she started this podcast. Griffin is talking about EMILY (second Emily of the show!) and the many questionable decisions made around his love for her. These are some straight up origin stories, and it’s a middle school ep so you KNOW it’s drama. Confessions, exiling, humiliation, cinematic scenes, gossip, evil boys, emotional scarring- this one's got it all. Ever wondered why Griffin and Rebecca are this way?? Find out!!

Could it be? The titular David Sims of Blank Check with Griffin and DAVID? Yes bitch it is!! This week, David is being a real sport and handling Rebecca’s rage fueled trip down memory lane as she talks about high school musician/internet crush, JOSHUA, and former best friend JO. She’s literally so mad and is ready for chaos. David, on the other hand, is talking about his childhood crush on HANNAH, his good friend who honestly sounds so cool. There’s talk of growing up in London, bold 11-year-old moves, internet cafes, manipulation, heartbreak, crush-transference, and being REAL. Fakers beware.

Oh my gosh. THE hilarious and glam and incredible Catherine Cohen on THIS podcast?? Truly a dream. This week Rebecca is living that New York lifestyle on the pod thanks to the generous folks of Forever Dog Studios. In this weird, extremely horny, extremely gross, extremely GOOD ep, Rebecca is talking about 4th grade crush DAVID. She’s reading some emails that are truly some of the most wild shit ever, and maybe evidence that she brought “daddy” into the ether?? Catherine (with her full life) is talking about a whole mess of crushes, including a high school crush who dated her best friend. Messy!! But that’s how we like it. PLUS: porn, cybersex, sexual awakenings, and more sex stuff. Happy Thanksgiving friends, this one is NSFF (that’s “not safe for families”)

This week Rebecca might miss flirting? She’s all over the place but thankfully her wonderful guest, David Anthony (AV Club, Noisey, lots more), is there to provide some support. David is talking about his high school coworker crush, REBECCA, which is a hilarious coincidence. Or is it? (It is). This crush story is full of truly cinematic melodrama, and podcast host Rebecca is living for it. She’s talking about ALEX, a dumb hot bassist connected to future integral episodes. Don’t miss the origin story!! There’s hella making out, a bummer of a summer, annoying punk shit, violence (???), incredible teen jams, a bad date, and one of the most intense things said to anyone EVER.

On this special day, hangout with Rebecca as she performs dramatic readings of some real horny/emo teen poems, listens to My Chemical Romance, and yells at herself. It will have you laughing, cringing, and asking “Why is she doing this?”

This week Rebecca feels like a new woman and is amped up to talk about RANDY, her 15 year old crush who she went on actual dates with!! She’s joined by the totally wonderful Kennon McKinney who tells the story of JARED, the gorgeous god-like volleyball man. Can you be gay and be a Christian? What’s the true story of Rebecca’s first kiss? Was it Kennon’s fault that Serena Williams lost a tennis game? Are we okay?
