Why Are We Like This?

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!
Follow Susan!

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.
