Girls Gotta Eat (Dear Media)

Let's dive into one of the great joys of being a woman: Birth control! We are joined by Dr. Sarah Hill, evolutionary psychologist and author of the book This is Your Brain on Birth Control, to discuss our menstrual cycles and all the ways we are affected by birth control. We're getting an education in all things hormones, PMS, sex drive, the way we pick partners when we're on birth control vs. off, whether birth control affects fertility, how to choose what's best for your body, and more. Before Sarah joins us, we're discussing female-led proposals and how soon to program someone into your phone. Enjoy!

We are so honored to welcome back renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel to discuss a variety of topics for both people in relationships and those looking for love. She speaks on the challenge of meeting people today and gives advice for how single people can reframe dating (especially first dates). Moving onto relationships, we discuss how in every relationship someone needs more security and someone needs more freedom, how reactions in relationships are like a figure 8 and how to manage conflicts better, the theory of fundamental attribution error and thinking we are more complex than our partners, when we are most attracted to our partners and why, and the four things you can do in a relationship to keep the desire thriving. Before Esther joins us, we talk about guys having bad fashion on vacations, Rayna’s surgery, Ashley’s pregnancy prevention, and the stark difference in how we do laundry. We also answer a listener’s email about meeting a great guy right before moving and what she should do. Enjoy!

We are SO excited to be joined by our favorite influencer couple (and new friends) Alex Madison and Jon Bouffard! We’re talking about everything – how they met and started dating, creating content together, why they’re not friends with many influencers, and how sex can solve your problems. Then they open up about the loss of their unborn child – how they changed their minds from being childfree to even wanting children, being open about the pregnancy and the loss on social media, the grieving process and how they supported each other, and how they are feeling about having children now. And then we dive into some juicy listener questions – a woman wanting her husband to take HER last name, and overstepping in-laws. Before Alex and Jon join us, we’re talking about the wildest thing that happened at our last live show, and the age-old debate of keeping or deleting pictures of an ex on Instagram. Enjoy!

We have hilarious comedian and friend Ali Kolbert in the studio with us (and Azul) discussing coming out, her standup journey, her relationship, having kids, why she thought Ashley was bi, and more. She opens up about growing up while figuring out her sexuality, and shares the captivating story of her and her girlfriend (who never dated women before Ali), which truly had us on the edge of our seats. Then we're diving into the conversation of having children when one partner is sure and one isn't.

It's the long overdue, much-needed episode on narcissists with a true expert -- clinical psychologist, professor of psychology, and best-selling author Dr. Ramani Durvasula. We are discussing what a narcissist actually is, why people are attracted to them, what dating one looks like, what to do/how to leave if you're dating one, and the effect dating a narcissist can have on you. Dr. Ramani also breaks down the differences between narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths, and we hit her with burning questions like "What happens when two narcissists date?" and "Are we all a little bit narcissistic?" Before she joins us, we catch up on Ashley's ghosting situation, and a trash DM Rayna received. Hope you enjoy!

We are so excited to be joined by author and influencer Eli Rallo (also known as “Gen Z’s Carrie Bradshaw”) for a discussion on navigating dating, friendship, happiness, and career in your 20s. Eli shares how she got her start on TikTok and leveraged the success into a book deal, and gives advice for how to stay authentic to yourself and block out the haters. Then we discuss how she was able to stop dating only for validation and really find herself, and then find love. And she shares her rules for approaching dating so it’s more fun/less pressure, why you should try people out in different settings, and the astrological signs that are most likely to plan an amazing date, cry during sex, ghost you, and more.

If there's one person who can speak on anxiety, depression, and panic with such humor, insight, and personal experience, it's Kelsey Darragh. We're so glad she joined us to discuss her mental health journey from therapy to misdiagnoses to meds to social situations to panic attacks. She shares what has worked for her, how to manage anxiety in a relationship (when you're the person with it or the partner trying to help), why and how she quit drinking, and more. And before Kelsey joins us, we're unpacking why guys turn down booty calls and/or friends with benefits situations. Enjoy!

And we're wrapping it up with a sweet and spicy round of How I Knew It Was Real. We hope you enjoy!

We love this episode so much, we kept it long and promise it's worth every second. We interviewed Ross Asdourian, author of Broken Bananah -- his (painfully) true story of breaking his penis. He answers all of our burning questions from how it happened to its effect on his life now (ie. is he getting more ass than ever?). And then we dive into a whole bunch of weird sex topics a lot of people are scared to discuss (spoiler alert: squirters and dirty talk are on the menu). We hope you love it, laugh a lot, and never have to deal with a broken bananah.

We are so excited to sit down with entrepreneur/speaker/overall inspirational human Sahil Bloom to talk about love, life, career, and unhinged male behavior. He shares how he spent so many years having negative self-talk and seeking external validation, and how he overcame his insecurities and found his identity. He also shares why extremes of self-help advice don’t work and his realistic “ABC system” to achieve your goals. And we talk about relationships – his #1 tip for long-lasting partnership, the secret to how he and his wife have made it work so long, why who you choose to partner with is so important, where to find the people who embody what you’re looking for, and how male insecurity is the root of all bad behavior. Before Sahil joins us, it’s a circus of storytelling – a hilarious/embarrassing incident that happened to Rayna right before recording, our new vibrator debut, power ranking of guys who have stayed with Rayna, and Ashley’s anniversary. Enjoy!

Are you riding the bench while someone else is getting playing time? Is he bread crumbing you? Or is it just a good old-fashioned ghost?

We have the one-and-only Asa Akira, award-winning adult film star and director, join us to discuss a whole (hole?) range of topics from how she got started in porn, to whether her on-screen orgasms are real, to blowjobs, anal, squirting, b-hole bleaching, and more.

We’re discussing the controversial topic of dating a friend’s ex (or someone they dated casually or even just slept with). We’re breaking down all the different scenarios, what counts as “girl code,”  a recent situation between us, our listeners’ thoughts, and how to talk to a friend about dating their past flame. Then we’re diving into some spicy listener emails about a friendship-ending situation and a man dating his friend’s ex-wife. Before we get into the topic, we debut our 2024 campaign t-shirts, chat about Ashley’s wedding planning (the guest list has been made), and Rayna shares HUGE NEWS! Enjoy!

If you’ve ever experienced the nightmare of sending a nude to the wrong person (or just have the fear inside of you), you’re not alone. We’re chatting all about nudes gone wrong – sending to the wrong person (family included), uploading to social media, accidental airdrops, and more. We’re also giving tips on how to avoid these incidents, and on the other (aka toxic) side, purposely using the “oops wrong person” as a power play in a situationship. Before we go full send on nudes, we’re talking about our multiple Halloween costumes and unpacking a shocking birthday cake incident. Enjoy!

We're talking about friends of the opposite sex -- addressing the age-old question "Can men and women just be friends?", discussing what healthy, platonic relationships look like, and deep diving on JEALOUSY.  We're breaking down being jealous/skeptical of a partner's friendships (from both sides) and how to handle it, from the self-talk to distinguishing the difference between innocent and suspicious behavior to deciding if someone's jealousy is a dealbreaker. And we're sharing our listeners' "mutual friend zone" behaviors with their besties. Plus, we recap the season premiere of The Bachelorette (well, mainly Dale Moss), give a surprising cinnamon broom update, and share our feelings on guys' hand size. Hope you enjoy!

We are so excited to have one of our friends and fellow Instagrammers on this episode  -- Jeremy Jacobowitz of the incredible food porn account @BrunchBoys. We dig into his personal life (per usual) and discuss all kinds of dating/sex related topics like the best kind of DM slides, "accidental anal" (still not convinced that's a thing though...), and the significance of the THIRD DATE. Jeremy also opens up about his fascinating weight loss story, and what it's like as a formerly overweight person to be surrounded by food all day every day. And to open the episode, we share our latest dating "strategy" which involves zero effort. Cheers! Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast and follow Jeremy at @BrunchBoys.

In the spirit of Halloween, we're telling our very own HORROR STORIES about what happens on the scariest night of the year (but even scarier -- the next morning). We also chat about what's been happening in our love lives lately (creeps and ghosts everywhere), then dive into a convo about shame and regret and how to move past that self-loathing feeling when you've done something regretful. And we end this "just us girls" episode with a VERY special "Is This Weird?" Enjoy! Follow along on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, and check our website for upcoming show dates and merchandise.

We're talking about the D with our friend/hilarious comedian Dylan Palladino  -- dick pics and sexy videos (including tips), performance anxiety and what women can do when it happens, guys who just want to fuck and why. We're also chatting about roasting your partner (hot or not?), if you can make a closed-off guy commit, hot dirty talk to try, and playing a round of "I Knew He Was a Fuckboy When...". Plus we catch up on Ashley's hot doormen, work through an issue in our friendship, and discuss Rayna's dad listening to last week's x-rated episode. Hope you enjoy!

Our good friend Alyssa Amoroso (aka Publyssity) joins us this week to spill the tea on her relationship, the trip that changed her dating trajectory, and so much more. The main theme of the episode is how shifting your energy can lead to big changes in your life, and we discuss her current relationship from how they met (she offers some insightful dating app advice) to the recent “DTR” to how people treat her now that she’s coupled up (and the mixed feelings she has on it). We also chat about her move to LA, why she got rid of her therapist (and the positive impact it had), and making the decision to stop letting insecurities hold you back. Before Alyssa joins us, we’re sharing some Thanksgiving Eve hookup stories; Ashley has a big life/body update, and we’re now taking dating applications for Rayna. Enjoy!

We got one of our favorite comedians, the inimitable and uncensored Andrew Schulz, to sit down with us, spill about his relationship (which he rarely does), and debate why women love murder. We also chat about DM slides, why men are getting better at pleasing women, butt stuff, double standards of plastic surgery, the current state/future of comedy, and more. Plus, Rayna shares her latest (and proven) pickup line, while Ashley is still in the thick of wedding season. We hope you enjoy!

You may be an expert on softboys, have no idea what one is, or think you know but you don't (spoiler alert: it's not just a sensitive guy); but whatever your softboy knowledge status is, we're here to break down these dudes who are infiltrating modern dating. We're defining and discussing, plus sharing our listeners' experiences with them. Before we break it down, we're chatting about the guys we met in Texas, and at the end of the episode, we're answering two hilarious listener emails about a confusing post-hookup leave-behind and masturbating to your co-workers. Enjoy the first (and probably last) episode recorded from the car!

FINALLY we're doing a real pet episode (no shade to our previous "pet episode"). We have veterinarian-to-the-stars Dr. Lisa Lippman and hilarious comic Richie Redding (the couple behind the podcast We Don't Deserve Dogs) join us to tell their very interesting relationship story (meeting on Tinder, one party being sober, many months of dating other people, etc.), and discuss all your burning pet questions. We cover when to get a pet together, who keeps it when you break up, dogs watching during sex, hating someone's pet voice, and more.  And we review a recent documentary about a very famous cat person (spoiler alert: Taylor Swift).

We're discussing a hallmark of dating and arguably one of the most preferred ways to find someone -- set ups. We're covering it from all angles, from setting up your friends, to getting your friends/family members to set you up, to all the dos and dont's, plus sharing our own stories and some truly wild tales from our listeners. And before we dive into our topic, we're recapping our recent double date, hotel life, and the Love is Blind 2 finale. Enjoy!

Coming to you from LA, we are joined by the hilarious Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein of Stiff Socks podcast. We’re having an extra uncensored discussion about dick size, the “unique” ways guys masturbate, and porn watching habits. Then they “mansplain” the reasons guys: Watch your Instagram stories after they ghost you, talk about future plans when they don’t want a relationship, always resurface (sometimes after years and years), continue to DM/text you when you don’t respond, and more. Before the guys join us, we’re talking about the routines we already have in LA, Rayna’s hot tub goal, and Ashley’s shocking outdoor shower. Enjoy!

Warning: This episode may turn you on. We're chatting with dominatrix and educator Colette Pervette about how to embrace your erotic desires and approach/execute BDSM, kinks, fantasies, role playing, and more in your relationship (trust us, it's not as intimidating as you may think). We discuss everything from pegging to threesomes, and Colette also walks us through her typical experiences as a domme. Before she joins us, we share our and our listeners' safe words (you might get some inspo), Rayna admits to getting clickbaited, and Ashley continues to be a nosy neighbor. Enjoy!

People are always like "Whatever, it's just social media" and we're like "Is it tho......?" (eye roll emoji) In this day and age, social media does play a part in relationships, and we dive deep into these topics in a #NoFilter episode with our first male guest -- @KrispyShorts of @FuckJerry. He's attractive, successful, insightful, has a legit romance story to share, and we hit him with some real questions during our new game "Mansplaining." We think you're going to like this threesome.

We're talkin' bout bodies with the inspirational (and obnoxiously beautiful) plus-size cover model Hunter McGrady -- everything from being considered "big" at 114 pounds to learning how to love your body to divulging the work we've had done (Ashley reveals something she's never discussed before). We dive into Hunter's wide/hilarious array of taste in men, her love story with her (much older) husband, and being a stepmom, and we also catch up on the craziness that happened in Boston and men lying about their stats on the apps. Hope you enjoy!

Chances are, you either have a “one that got away,” ARE the one that got away, or have dated someone who is still hung up on the one that got away. We’re talking about it all – why we have this person, why men tend to have them more than women, how to get over them, and why it’s good if you DON’T have one. We’re also sharing our personal experiences with it, and the reasons our listeners say they aren’t over that ex. Before we get into the topic, we’re discussing the question “Should you tell your partner about your past flings?” Plus, we’re giving thanks, revealing who’s the better Thanksgiving cook, and sharing advice for handling family with opposing politics/values over the holidays. Enjoy!

We're discussing the motivation to change your partner, what's healthy and what's not, what you should and shouldn't try to change (everything from clothing to bedding to career goals to emotional stability), and the unfortunate reality of changing someone for the better and them leaving you. We're sharing our experiences as well as our listeners, and also catching up on Ashley's new addition, Rayna's latest phone sexcapade, plus TV recs. Hope you enjoy!

We are kicking off the year with a very enlightening conversation with Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. We discuss these seven “sins” and the (wrong) notion we’ve been fed that a “good woman” is not supposed to indulge them, and why it’s so much easier to damage a woman's reputation than a man’s.  We chat about embracing pride, using your envy to figure out what you want in life, owning your lustfulness, and why anger is a positive emotion. We also talk about the nonstop policing and judging of women’s bodies, why we punish ourselves for being “gluttonous,”  and how we can learn to accept our bodies. There is so much ground covered, but above all –  the importance of women supporting each other in the name of world domination.

Before Elise joins us, we’re doing a quick Christmas/appetizer contest recap, sharing our goals for 2024, as well as some  from our audience, and announcing the official slogan for the year. Enjoy!

Can you spot a cheater? In this episode, Rayna and Ashley take you through a step-by-step identification process for 2018. The ladies discuss how to spot a cheater before you even get involved, and also how to appropriately stalk your man if you suspect he's messing around (spoiler alert: females usually aren't wrong.) They also share their cheat stories, and play another hilarious game of Red Light Green Light with their followers.

We know you love friendship episodes, so it’s time for another one! We’re discussing friendship love bombing (what it looks like, why people do it, and the ways our listeners have experienced it) and friendship one-night-stands (what they are, how to navigate them, and if you can make a one-night-stand into a real friendship). We’re also talking about the number of friends the average person has/can handle, and how we categorize our friendships. Before we get into the topic, we’re chatting about why you’re not supposed to sit on the toilet too long, Ashley’s email inbox behavior vs. Rayna’s, and the popular sport we hate. Enjoy!

We also catch up on Rayna's DM doctor, Ashley's young man friend, and Rayna quizzes Ashley on how kinky she is in the bedroom (the results might surprise you).

Some love stories are crazier than others, and we have comedian (and friend) Casey Balsham on this episode to share her wild ride. It involves nearly a decade, a cross-country move, standup comedy, free hot dogs, and finally, a proposal. We're discussing falling for your friend and how to know if they feel the same, living/pooping together in a small space as a new couple, the frustration of not being engaged, fertility struggles, and more. We're also introducing a new segment about our listeners' near-death experiences, and catching up on a crazy NYE. We hope you enjoy!

This episode is an instant fave -- we have men's coach and founder of ManTalks Connor Beaton join us to explore the male psyche and explain everything from why men won't commit to why they send unsolicited dick pics. We dive into those burning questions: Can you change a man?, Can you trick a man into being with you?, Why is he into filthy porn but will only do me missionary?, Why do they sit on the toilet for so long?, and more. We hope you find this conversation as impactful as we did!

Everyone talks about manifesting, but do they actually know how to do it? We’re so excited to have manifestation expert and 2x bestselling author Roxie Nafousi walk us through the seven steps of manifesting to get what you want in your romantic life, career, friendships, finances, and more. In addition to the actionable steps, we also discuss overcoming tests from the universe (*cough* like your ex reappearing), the importance of gratitude (but why it’s not always the answer), and handling jealousy (both when you feel it and when others are projecting it onto you). Before Roxie joins us, we recap Rayna’s bicoastal birthday parties, our trip with Bill Greenberg, and the new guy in Ashley’s life. Enjoy!

Ever wonder what you're doing "wrong" (read: against your own best interest) in dating? We are breaking it down in this eye-opening episode with behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author Logan Ury. We're discussing the three types of unrealistic daters and how to combat the tendencies that are working against you, how to pick a long-term partner, if you're too picky or not picky enough, and what you should/shouldn't compromise on. We're also discussing best practices for the apps, a scientific strategy for meeting people IRL, and why you should (almost) always go on a second date. Before Logan joins us, we're chatting about breakup season still being in full effect, scaring your friends/partners, fresh recs, and more. Enjoy!

We are so excited we got to sit down with Justin McLeod, the founder of Hinge, and bombard him with all our dating app questions -- how is Hinge different, what does the future of dating hold, what makes a good profile, what pics should be canceled, how should you open a convo, and so much more. Justin also shares his rom-com-worthy love story, and what Hinge is doing to help us single folk find love stories of our own (thank God). And we wrap up with listeners submissions of the good, the bad, and the ugliest dating app opening lines. Enjoy! Follow Girls Gotta Eat on Instagram at @GirlsGottaEatPodcast.

Settle in for three women unpacking a wide range of body-related topics. We are joined by writer/founder of Slutever Karley Sciortino and she so graciously explains pee fetishes (we had a lot to learn) and her stint as an amateur dominatrix. Then we're chatting about dating women and why we have "phases" of different types of partners, guys not wanting to go down on you, sex parties, and lastly, why we fake orgasms (and should stop). Before Karley joins us, we're talking about Rayna's breast reduction and an accidental sext Ashley received. Hope you enjoy!

Fire up your phone, it’s an app episode! We’re talking about getting on the apps (the energy to put out and headspace to be in when you’re looking for someone, getting back out there after a breakup and the type of people to look for) and getting OFF the apps (when to pause or delete your account, talking to someone you’re dating about their app status, and more). We’re also discussing whether you’d match with your current partner on an app, and Rayna’s elite Hinge prompt answer. Before we get into the topic, we’re sharing the full update on Rusty (IYKYK), and recapping our Europe trip with a shocking thing Ashley found out about Rayna, plus revealing our new Vibes Only products. Enjoy!

We are so excited to welcome author/podcaster/Bachelor alum Nick Viall into the GGE studio for some real-talk dating advice. We discuss fuckboys vs. players, how to approach (and not approach) the DTR conversation, the step-by-step process for turning a situationship into a relationship, compatibility vs. chemistry (and what’s more important), why love at first sight isn’t real, and more. We also have Nick translate common things guys say ranging from “I can’t give you what you want” to “I want to lay low tonight.” Before he joins us, we break down the Barbie movie, Ashley’s passion for shopping malls, and Rayna’s date with you-know-who.

The pandemic completely changed our day-to-day lives, but what about our sex lives? We're discussing how the last year affected couples and singles, and what the fuck the future of sex, dating, and relationships will look like. Our guest is Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Jessica Pels, and we're unpacking data gathered by an incredible study by the Kinsey Institute in partnership with Cosmo and Esquire (spoiler alert: pleasure is the priority). We're also sharing our listeners' sex/dating outlooks, chatting about bikini waxes vs. sugaring, and our TV recs take a turn. Hope you enjoy!

We wanted to do a pet episode so we brought in comedian/dog walker Andrew Collin, and things went completely off the rails in the best way. We discuss pets and guys who are too obsessed with their dogs, along with a lot of NSFW topics. This episode is not for the easily offended and should probably be enjoyed in private where you can snort-laugh freely. Enjoy! 

Follow Andrew on Instagram @AndrewTCollin, catch him on Sirius XM's You Up with Nikki Glaser every Wednesday, and check out his podcast Happy Never After. Follow Girls Gotta Eat on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast.

With all the dating advice/rules/list/etc taking over our online landscape, we couldn’t help but wonder…have we gone too far? We’re so excited to cover the concept of overcorrecting when it comes to dating, inspired by the viral list “Places Women Refuse to Go On a First Date” (we have a lot to say!) and from all the content we see and consume every day. We discuss how some of the information out there could actually be harming your dating life and possibility of finding love, but how you can filter it and make it work for you. Before we get into the topic, we talk about guys on bikes (ick or not?), Rayna's comical texting with her mom about Thanksgiving, something that killed the mood for Ashley like never before, the show Naked Attraction, AND our new Vibes Only products (including a vibrator that will give you the best orgasm of your life). Enjoy!

When should you define the relationship? Are breaks ever a good idea? And what should you be focusing on instead of landing a man? We brought in our friend, fellow podcaster, and dating guru Lindsey Metselaar from We Met at Acme podcast to offer her no-bullshit outlook on all these important topics, and loved what she had to say. We also introduce a new game -- What Would You Do? Enjoy! Follow Lindsey on Instagram @LindzMetz and @WeMetAtAcme.

We have another free therapy session with a favorite return guest -- psychologist, author, and speaker Guy Winch! On this episode, we're breaking down complaining from all angles, including the problem with not voicing your complaints to your partner, to how much complaining is too much in a relationship. We're also discussing the most effective way to complain both in relationships and in general life situations (like with a retailer or landlord), how to deal with chronic complainers (whether they're your partner, friend, or parent), and friendships defined by complaining. Plus, we cover how to complain in a funny way and sexual complaints (separate topics lol). Before Guy joins us, we're catching up on one of Rayna's former prospects back in the mix and Ashley's body still being fucked up. Enjoy!

AND we have an extra special former guest join us to catch up on testicles, his new relationship, and play a round of Psycho or Power Move. We hope you enjoy!

It was an honor to discuss the legalities of marriage and divorce with truly the best of the best -- attorney Laura Wasser. She explains the importance of knowing the laws of your state before getting married, and educates us on prenuptial agreements, from how they work to whether or not you need one. We're also discussing postnuptial agreements, annulments, how to be more informed about the finances in your relationship, and the advice she gives anyone considering or going through a divorce. Before Laura joins us, we give tips for nudes (again) and have a ridiculous conversation/debate about masturbating on planes. Hope you enjoy!

The Lord has returned! Our most recurring guest Jared Freid (comedian, podcaster, ick whisperer) joins us to talk about THE ICK. We define what the ick is (and what it isn’t), break down icks vs. turnoffs, share our own icks and Jared’s favorites from around the world, discuss ick appropriation and if icks have gone too far, and Jared explains down why guys don’t get the ick. We also talk about Extension-gate, the main difference between “bad dates” in NYC vs. LA, and airline loyalty, and then we have one of the most awkward moments in Girls Gotta Eat history. Before Jared joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s Italy trip and our latest thoughts on solo travel, debate which pizza chain is best, and Ashley shares the psychotic thing she did to her brother’s Barbie when they were kids. AND we have tons of TV and book recs. Enjoy!
