From Celebrities to Crushes: They All Rejected Us
About this episode
Rejection happens to everyone, but that doesn’t make it any less awkward, humbling, or downright hilarious in hindsight. In this episode of The Really Very Crunchy Podcast, Emily and Jason share their funniest and most cringe-worthy rejection stories, from celebrity “no’s” that left our inbox feeling lonely, to job applications that went absolutely nowhere, to those relationship rejections we swore we’d never talk about (until now).
