Who is ready to have their heart stomped out?! I have my friends and Youtubers, Zachary Patton Garcia and Alastair Patton Garcia, with me to head to Boston for some steamy sex, tune melts, getting a little too vulnerable, and then leaving as quickly as possible. And then we head down to the club to break some hearts even further but hey, at least there's bisexual lighting! Also, we get our introduction to a true queen, Rose Landry!

Once again, I am sorry for the barking in the last 20 minutes or so. My baby was not doing well when we recorded these last few episodes and hated being alone so he barked constantly. I cut as much of it as I could without taking away too much from the conversation. I appreciate y'all hanging in there with me while he was being loud.

Hi!

I am back with Adam and Andi (Triple A status this time) to take a trip to the Big Apple and have some very gross looking smoothies! What a gem this episode is. We get to add Maria and Elena to the Girls Protecting the Gays Committee. We get a nice break from the horrible communication we have seen previously, as these two are just open and honest from jump. Also, shout out to Kip's dad for being the actual best ever?

This is the longest episode WAWLT has ever put out so, buckle up!

*Oh! And I apologize for the screaming cat in the background... My pets apparently have a lot to say about Heated Rivalry and are desperate to be involved in these recordings.

I am back with a brand new set of cohosts!! This episode I have Jeremy, Susan, and Aliza joining me to dive into flirty text montages, a sex scene far too tender to be casual, the emotional terror that is the Sochi Olympics, panic attacks in award show bathrooms, and crying in Vegas... again.

So sorry for my elderly dog barking like mad from around minute 13 to around minute 40. You can only hear it when I talk and I tried to cut as much out as I could. He is seventeen and usually my partner is home to sit with him while I record but unfortunately for the first hour of this recording that was not an option.

Here is the link to Ilya's perspective on Vegas from Rachel's website that is heavily referenced in the episode.

Follow Jeremy!

Follow Aliza!

Oh, hello there.

Welcome to our Heated Rivalry Discussions! This episode I have Ian Carlos Crawford and Chelsea King visiting Canada with me to meet our soulmate, head to the draft, form a rivalry, and then (naturally) start fucking.

[[Update: My tv is very old and I watched this episode on a friend's very nice new tv and was like omg, that is for sure NOT suite that Hayden is wearing. There's like a patterned stitch across the back that is not visible on my terrible tv. But it is still a nice outfit!]]

Find Ian and all his things here.

Find Chelsea here.

Hi!

Here’s a really old recording I did with Alyssa continuing the comics! It was SO LOVELY to hear her voice again on the pod.🥹 (Note: this was recorded so long ago that we use the wrong pronouns for Darcy. They hadn’t canonically changed their pronouns yet. I am sorry about that!!)

There’s a lot of background noise in this one and I am sorry for that, as well. It was clearly summer. There’s mowers going and kids yelling. And Alyssa moved near a fire station so we struggled with that too. BUT I hope you enjoy heading to Paris with the squad, watching the teachers flirt, learning Nick can speak French, and of course- Hickeys! Also, unfortunately we start to dig into Charlie’s struggles and start to discuss his disordered eating. So, it gets a bit heavy for a minute.

OH HI!! I have missed you so and I am so glad to be back!

I have Sabrina with me to wrap up season three with our overall thoughts, favorite scenes, and reading out your emails! Adam was unable to join us but he sent in his thoughts so you will get to hear him in this episode, as well! There is a weird clipping every now and then thanks to my internet connection the day we recorded this over zoom. My apologies for those moments!

I am leaving the schedule just a bit open here in the beginning, as I am about to head out to London for a week. I didn't want to delay the pod return any longer though, so I am moving forward with putting this one out on time! Thank you all for hanging in here with me while I took the much needed long break for the summer. I appreciate you all!! I hope you enjoy two hours of us gabbing season three!

HI.

After scheduling conflicts and a week long sickness, I present to you OUR FINAL episode on Heartstopper the show?! I sobbed writing a little message for the top of this episode and had to just read it word for word to keep from sobbing on mic. lololol

We are diving into Uni trips, buying sex supplies, the summer fete, and boyfriend sleepovers. This might be one of the longest eps we have released but with it being the final show discussion, I figured the length would be welcomed! I also included the book watch I forgot to add in the last episode. And obviously, you will hear the final book watch of the season with Kate! Big thank you to Kate for helping us out with that segment this season and for being so truly on top of the book count and analysis for this series!

I also want to thank you all for being here and going on this journey with me. Talking about this show that means so much to us all with so many of you has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and I have loved every second of it. I hope you enjoy this episode and I look forward to continuing on with the graphic novels while we wait for the film!!

Hi!

Adam and I are back to discuss the PENULTIMATE EPISODE of season three on this the three year anniversary of season one. What is time, actually? (HAPPY HEARTSTOPPER MOVIE ANNOUNCEMENT DAY TO YOU ALL AS WELL!!!!!)

We get some really bad sex education followed by some really great representation of healthy sexual exploration. Our hearts swell watching Tao, Naomi, and Felix help to put Elle back together after the fall out of the interview. Harry graces us with his punchable presence one last time. And the amount of forehead touches we get in this one actually murders me. (I am typing this from beyond the grave. Ghost Sarah says hello to you all.)

Here is the Adolescence discussion Adam put out on his podcast.

Hi!

We are back to catch up with Adam and hear all of his thoughts for Winter and Body before we dive back into the last two episodes together. We also read out some comments and emails and discuss the lovely insight you all shared with us.

Note: The outro says we will be back in 2 weeks with "Together" BUT I actually have so much going on this upcoming week that I am thinking I am going to have to push it one week. This will be the first episode of our s3 coverage that won't air on it's intended date. So I will take it as a win that we made it to the final two episodes before the schedule fell apart this time! 🤪

Anyway, enjoy!! Thanks for listening and writing in to us and for supporting us and being so lovely all the dang time! Big love to you all! 💙
