-Single dad just dOiNg HiS bEsT (Love ya, pumpkin t*ts!)
-Douchebag with a heart of gold
-Douchebag that stays a douchebag (Bonus points if it's played by Matthew Lillard)
-A ridiculously inappropriate romantic relationship (um, may I suggest listening to our "Never Been Kissed" recap?) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/never-been-kissed-w-christine-biancavilla/id1570702948?i=1000550199486

Also, Gabrielle Union.
You forgot the biggest thing ever: a Jeep Wrangler!
