Sherpa Allen

**Sherpa Allen** Spiritual meditation guide

**Sherpa Allen** is a relaxation guru from the San Gabriel Valley. Allen ran a special immersive meditation experience at the annual festival Electric Mesa. He's a spiritual man with a unique ritual to get him through a personal vow he's taken. His first appearance was in the Season Two episode "Why Is Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Eating Carbs?". He is portrayed by actor Andrew Patrick Walston.

## History

In 2016, **Sherpa Allen** was at the Electric Mesa festival leading a group of participants in a sensory bath. Allen had the audio system playing calming music to set the mood along with a bubble making machine to enhance the at atmosphere. As the meditation went on one of the participants named Valencia Perez complained about her companion Rebecca Bunch inviting negative thoughts. Allen stepped in and quickly smoothed over the situation before moving on. However, a more pressing crisis ensued when the speakers short circuited. Allen tried to calm everyone and asked if anyone had a didgeridoo resulting in a number of hands being raised.

Sherpa Allen made a call to Aloha Tech Center and was told an employee would be dispatched. A thankful Sherpa Allen was there to greet him when he arrived declaring the event needed its music. He introduced himself as Josh Chan and soon repaired the audio earning himself cheers from the attendees. Afterwards Sherpa Allen helped Josh load some of his equipment onto his van. Josh told Allen he was glad he came as he got a reminder of how complicated women were and that he should enjoy being single. Allen told Josh he understands as he's abstained from sex for decades and also orgasms internally. He told Josh to be well and that for some reason his equipment smelled delicious ("Why Is Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Eating Carbs?").

Statue of Liberty keychain

**Statue of Liberty keychain** Paula's gift to Rebecca
Owned by: Rebecca Bunch — First Appearance: "Josh's Girlfriend is Really Cool!"

The **Statue of Liberty keychain** is a gift Paula Proctor gave to Rebecca Bunch not long after they met. It was a well meaning but not so subtle reference to Rebecca's former home. Surprisingly the trinket would end up meaning a lot to Rebecca who thought of it as a symbol of her friendship with Paula. She kept the token of affection close even when the two had a brief falling out. It was first seen in the Season One episode "Josh's Girlfriend is Really Cool!".

## History

### Season One

In her first year in West Covina Rebecca became best friends with Paula. They bonded over Rebecca's romantic pursuit of Josh Chan which Paula pledged to help her with. Paula was excited by this endeavor and bought Rebecca a **Statue of Liberty keychain** while she was at the car wash. She brought the item to work along with strawberry donuts Rebecca liked. When she presented her friend the keychain Rebecca was underwhelmed. She did appreciate the gesture though and Paula insisted she attach it to her keys immediately. Rebecca complied wanting to appease her friend but it made Paula realize she created an awkward situation. She confessed she always wanted a daughter to spoil but instead has two sons that are horrible ("Josh's Girlfriend is Really Cool!").

### Season Two

In her second year in West Covina, Rebecca had a falling out with Paula just as her friend was dealing with an abortion, going to law school and her husband Scott cheating on her. Rebecca volunteered to help out by taking take care of Paula's son Tommy. Things went bad when she took Tommy to a bar and lost him. Rebecca was shocked when she found Paula and Tommy at the Proctor residence. After Tommy covered for her Josh unexpectedly showed up declaring his love for Rebecca but she rejected him since Paula needed her. She confessed to Paula what really happened and gave back the Statue of Liberty keychain feeling she didn't deserve it. Paula assured her it was okay and that by not going with Josh she more than proved her friendship ("Who Is Josh's Soup Fairy?").

Rabbi Shari

**Rabbi Shari** Rebecca Bunch's former Rabbi

**Rabbi Shari** is a spiritual leader of a synagogue in Scarsdale who knew Rebecca Bunch since she was a child. When Rebecca was an adult Shari oversaw her cousins Bar Mitzvah. While she was there she also imparted some insightful advice to Rebecca who took it to heart . Her first appearance was in the Season Two episode "Will Scarsdale Like Josh's Shayna Punim?". She is portrayed by veteran Broadway star actress Patti LuPone.

## History

In 2016 **Rabbi Shari** officiated over Rebecca Bunch's cousin Skyler's Bar Mitzvah. Skyler's mother Ellen invited her many relatives and acquaintances which included his aunt Naomi Bunch, her daughter Rebecca who brought her boyfriend Josh Chan. Also invited was a longtime family friend Audra Levine and her husband David. Skyler performed the Kiddish in which he read from the Torah a passage involving menstruation and lepers. This was the same one his cousin Stewy recited where he talked about his sister's cotex. Afterwards Rabbi Shari and everyone else went to a celebration held at a fancy Scarsdale dining hall. Shari caught up with Rebecca and asked her if she found a Temple in California to attend.

She was unfazed when Rebecca told her it wasn't a priority since she didn't believe in God. In response Shari simply complimented Rebecca for always questioning which was true to the spirit of her faith. Sometime later, Rabbi Shari announced to the party goers that a Hora was to be performed in honor of Skyler. Everyone enthusiastically participated except for Rebecca who didn't take part as she was in a bad mood *(♫ Remember That We Suffered ♫)*. This was noticed by Rabbi Shari who sought Rebecca out afterwards. Shari found her alone on the steps sulking and asked what was the matter. Rebecca replied that she wanted Josh to see how miserable things were here but instead he was having fun.

Rebecca hoped to show Josh that everyone here was as depressed as she believed misery was coded into Jewish people's DNA. Shari told Rebecca she alone is responsible for her own happiness. If she doesn’t like her religion, family, friends and hometown it means she actually hates herself. Rebecca had hoped being with Josh would make her happy but Rabbi Shari pointed out that's a lot to put on just one person to fix her problems. She added that idea of such a happy ending is just fantasy. After returning to West Covina, California Rebecca took Rabbi Shari's advice to heart and brought it up at her therapist at her next session ("Will Scarsdale Like Josh's Shayna Punim?").

## History

In 2016, Rebecca Bunch went to the Mall's **movie theater** to see the movie "The Cancer Crew" by herself. Rebecca devoured a bucket of popcorn as she tearfully watched a story of a group of friends dealing with one of them having cancer. Once outside the theater she saw similar close knit social circles congregating. Feeling down that she didn't have any friends herself she ruefully sang a song *(♫ I Have Friends (reprise) ♫)*. While walking away from the theater she spotted Josh Chan with his girlfriend Valencia Perez alongside his friends Hector, Josh Wilson and Greg Serrano. They had just left the theater themselves and were sitting down at nearby benches to duscuss the movie they just saw ("I'm Going to the Beach with Josh and His Friends!").

*I don't mean like in my heart.*

*I mean physically*
*You've been tearing me up*
*it's D-Day in my lady parts!*

*But as I'm begging for more*
*writhing around on the floor*
*I feel something deep inside*
*I never felt before!*

*Oh my God I think I like you!*
*Oh my God I think I like you!*

*It's scary but you send me*
*back on my heels!*

'*Cuz while I'm getting spanked*
*I can't ignore the feels!*

*But I say no, no, no!*
*This is just about sex!*
*And no, no, no!*
*Don't be such a girl Becs!*
*But then I feel the*
*oxytocin creeping back to my brain*
*and all I can do is sing it again...*

*Oh my God I think I like you!*

*Why can't I just focus on*
*getting a pounding, on the*
*business going on in my thighs?*
*But as my body's getting ruined,*
*like really trashed,*
*I only want to look in your eyes.*

*But then I'm upside down*
*next to my kitchen sink*
*and suddenly it's like*
*Oh my God I think...*
*I like you.*
*Oh my God I think*
*I like you.*

*My feelings get stronger*
*every day.*
*I'm like a little girl,*
*not in a role-playing way!*
*Are there condoms that can prevent*
*these feelings?*
*Is there spermicidal lubricant that can kill*
*the fluttering in my heart?*
*Is there an IUD*
*that can stop the image of*
*you and me*
*getting married on the hillside*
*surrounded by Ducks*
*and then we get into a rowboat...*

*OH MY GOD!*

*I think I like you.*

*Oh my God*
*I think I like you.*

*But I say no, no, no!*
*No, no no!*
*No, no, no!*
*No, no, no!*

For the last time I boned...

Doggy Dog:
Did somebody say boned?

I’m the Doggy Dog...
Wagging my tail...
Sniffing some...
Key to the City

**Key to the City** Award given to Rebecca Bunch (and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend")
Owned by: Aline Brosh McKenna — First Appearance: "Josh is Going to Hawaii!"

## History

### Season One

In 2016 the law firm of Whitefeather & Associates filed a class action lawsuit against Greater City Water. The claim was that the company was involved in illegal activities which affected residents of West Covina. Star attorney Rebecca Bunch was the lead in the case but despite her best efforts was unable to convince the judge her evidence was reliable. The lawsuit was dismissed but it got the attention of a metro city reporter. Thanks to some illegally obtained GCW emails he wrote a story and exposed the truth. The scandal got national attention and Rebecca was heralded as a hero. The City council and mayor of West Covina decided to award her with a **Key To The City**.

The mayor personally went to Whitefeather & Associates to tell Rebecca who, due to financial problems she was having, seemed unenthused by the honor. A ceremony was scheduled to be held in the park with numerous press and a large crowd in attendance. Rebecca ended up being late for the event and when she finally arrived she seemed miserable and noticeably distracted. Nevertheless, she took the stage and the mayor awarded her with the Key To The City as the photographers on hand took pictures. Rebecca was handed the microphone to give a speech but could only manage to say a few words. She then unexpectedly ran off with the key as the audience looked on confused and her friend Paula Proctor cheered her on ("Josh is Going to Hawaii!")

### Season Two

The Key to the City was eventually hung up in Rebecca's office framed and located on the wall behind her desk.

* **Appearances**:
	+ "Where Is Josh's Friend?": The key can be seen as Paula helps Rebecca track down Greg on the computer.
	+ "When Will Josh See How Cool I Am?": The key can be seen when Paula tells Rebecca she's going to law school.
	+ "When Do I Get to Spend Time With Josh?": Rebecca gets kicked out of her office and carries the key to her new cubicle next to Paula. The key can also clearly be seen towards the end of George’s musical number when the camera zooms in on him.

Room Temperature

**Room Temperature** *Recurring theme: Metafiction*
First Appearance: ""I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!""

**Room Temperature** was Rebecca Bunch's favorite boy band when she was just a girl. It was a group made up of four multiethnic young males that was popular at the time. Rebecca was such a fan that's she hosted a Room Temperature PPV party at her house. The party led to a very traumatic moment in her life which haunts her to this day. The first appearance of the band was in the Season One episode "I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!".

## History

When Rebecca Bunch was twelve and living in Scarsdale she was a huge fan of a four piece boy band **Room Temperature**. When she learned a live performance was being presented on PPV Rebecca decided to host a party around the event. She gave out invitations to everyone at school but on the day of the concert only three classmates showed up. Nevertheless, Rebecca was excited and hung a miniature poster of the Boy band next to the television. Her guests were less than enthusiastic about the concert and Rebecca made a joke about their tepid response. They only reacted after they overheard her parents Naomi and Silas Bunch arguing in the next room. Silas mocked his wife by saying she couldn't throw a decent party for Rebecca and her loser friends.

Naomi yelled at him to call his whore and ask her how she would make the party better. Rebecca unsuccessfully tried to cover up her parents domestic spat by saying they were rehearsing for a play. Her father abruptly left the adjoining room and was about to leave when he spotted Rebecca. He walked over, kissed her on her forehead and wished her good luck before leaving the house for good. She and her guests witnessed her mother yell after Silas. With the Room Temperature PPV now completely forgotten about, Rebecca tearfully pleaded with her classmates to keep what just happened to themselves. Many he years later Rebecca was an adult living in West Covina and recounted this story to her friend Paula Proctor.

Paula at the time was trying to convince her to throw a house party. Paula believed it was the only way Rebecca could get spend time with her ex-boyfriend Josh Chan whom she was trying to win back. After being convinced *(♫ Face Your Fears ♫)*, Rebecca threw the party but again wound up with a handful of guests. She had flashbacks to her childhood and worried Josh would leave just like her father did upon seeing such a pathetic gathering. Her fears were unfounded as Josh was not only understanding of the situation but also helped improve the festivities. When Paula arrived with more guests the party turned out great and Rebecca imagined Josh performing as a four piece boy band *(♫ A Boy Band Made Up of Four Joshes ♫)* ("I Hope Josh Comes to My Party!").
Josh's grandmother's ring

**Josh's grandmother's ring**
Owned by: Tita Myrna, Josh Chan — First Appearance: "Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!"

**Josh's grandmother's ring** is a Chan family heirloom which had long been in the possession of Tita Myrna. She bestowed it to Josh in the hopes it would incentivize him to finally propose to his girlfriend of fifteen years Valencia Perez. However, it had the opposite effect and became part of the reason why things ended badly between Valencia and Josh. The ring was first seen in the Season One episode "Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!".

## History

In April 2016, Josh's sister Jayma finally got married to Phillip Epstein her boyfriend for the last seven years. While at the wedding reception, Josh contemplated his own future with Valencia while he also struggled with his confusing feelings for his ex-girlfriend Rebecca Bunch. His Aunt Myrna sensed his conflict and talked to him about it. Myrna told him she could help him with his problem and presented to him a family heirloom. It was **Josh's grandmother's ring** and Myrna believed it would look perfect on Valencia whenever he was ready to propose. Josh was appreciative of the gesture until he saw Myrna exchange a glance with Valencia. He realized he was being manipulated and asked Myrna if Valencia put her up to this.

Josh confronted his girlfriend about what she did and Valencia explained she knew Myrna had the ring and wanted to get it before Josh's cousin Ruby did. Josh was angry that Valencia couldn't trust him to get an engagement ring himself as he had told her earlier he was going to shop for one but needed a little time. Valencia was just as upset pointing out that for fifteen years she had patiently waited for him. She got his grandmothers ring because a part of her believed he would never propose. Valencia at first pleaded and then demanded they get engaged immediately. Josh refused feeling that this was yet another example of her not listening to him. Valencia then told Josh she'd had enough of his indecisiveness and broke up with him ("Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!").

Our Twisted Fate

**Our Twisted Fate**
**Performer(s)**: The Pretzels (Adam Schlesinger) — **First Appearance**: "I'm On My Own Path"
**Written by**: Adam Schlesinger, Rachel Bloom, Jack Dolgen, & Alden Derck — **Genre**: Mid-to-Late '60s Folk

"**Our Twisted Fate**" is a performance imagined by Rebecca Bunch involving singing stop-motion animated pretzels. In it the snacks get salty about Rebecca's constant use of them as in symbols in her life. It debuted in the Season Four Episode "I'm On My Own Path."

## Song and lyrics

```

```
Pretzels:
We are merely pretzels
That is all we are
This woman's obsession with us
Is frankly quite bizarre

We used to simply be
A starchy snack that people ate
But, now, we are a symbol
Such is our twisted fate

We've been smothered in the mustard
Of her quest for happiness
There's a lot of pressure on us
This we must confess

We didn't ask to be in charge
Of someone's mental state
Just let us be some happy carbs
Spare us this twisted fate

We've been a-salted by her yearning
To make her life a cogent tale
Sure, it's nice to be kneaded
But, now, the whole thing's getting stale

Oh, can't some soft and chewy pretzels
Finally get relief
We are hurtin' from the burden
Of being someone's life motif

She should switch to pizza bagels
If it's not too late
It's the yeast that she could do
To save us from this twisted fate
