Girls Gotta Eat

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! Watch Jared's new special "37 & Single" on Netflix, follow him on Instagram @jaredfreid, and visit his website for tour dates and more.

We're so happy to welcome back bestselling author Mark Manson to give more life advice that doesn't suck. We're discussing the truth about happiness – that there is no "formula" for it, why "getting rid" of your problems isn't the answer, and recognizing delusional positivity. In terms of relationships, we talk about how you and your partner's strengths and weaknesses counterbalance each other, how conflict strengthens a healthy relationship, and what you can be doing right now to improve your dating life. Mark also turns the tables on us and asks how the podcast has changed our dating life, and he shares his own wild cheating story, which leads us to our final discussion about post traumatic growth (how a lot of people end up thriving after a traumatic incident). Before Mark joins us, we talk about more changes in Rayna's life (hint: porn and pedicures), Ashley's DMV journey, and how we got in trouble in high school. We also spill some tea on someone Rayna ran into and who texted Ashley. Enjoy!

We have a lot to unpack! Ashley turned 40 and is in a relationship, and Rayna reads fiction now and can't stop being naked. We recap the best trip of our lives from the laughs to the luxury to the perineum sunning, and also discuss aging and being confident in your looks/body. Then we drag And Just Like That (again), hype Colleen Hoover (again), and deep dive on a listener question – should you date the person you have a better sexual or emotional connection with? 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 are honored to have clinical psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik of Showtime's acclaimed show Couples Therapy join us to talk about conflict within a relationship. We discuss first of all the importance of having differences in a relationship, then get into how to better understand your partner during a fight, what is a fight vs. a discussion and who gets to say, and determining if the conflict is about the actual content or just the delivery. We also discuss what to do when you're having the same conflict over and over (examples include: household responsibilities, infidelity, having children), the concept of "never go to bed angry," managing your anger, and apologizing. Before Dr. Orna joins us, we're catching up on Rayna's hot neighbor and art gallery crush, Ashley's nails and new car, and announcing new tour dates. Enjoy!

This week's episode is about something near and dear to our hearts, careers, and dating lives: Voices. We are joined by actress/screenwriter/voiceover icon Lake Bell to speak on all things voices – why our voice sounds different in our head vs. listening back, regional accents and stigmas, what our voices say about us, why we're attracted to certain voices, and changing your voice to be more appealing/get something you want/be taken more seriously. And we're discussing the Sexy Baby voice – what it is, how it became a thing, who's known for it, and our feelings on it. Before Lake joins us, we're recapping our latest travels, sharing the most fun thing we've ever done at a wedding, and popping off about drag show bans. Enjoy!

It's our 5-year anniversary episode (!!!) and we're covering a lot of ground – sharing what we've learned over the last half-decade, gushing over our audience, and answering the questions you have about past hookups, our LA move, best/worst/drunkest guests, and much more (YES we are finally spilling the tea on the male escort interview that never aired and why). Then we're moving into the friendship conversation – the importance and power of the relationships we have with our girlfriends, why and how we should celebrate friends' accomplishments other than marriages and babies, and friendship meet-cutes (with some tips for making friends). We're also (randomly) discussing our bad behavior as kids, why we hate a traditional baby/wedding shower, Ashley's hydration journey update, Rayna's water quirk, and an astounding/amazing listener message about butt stuff and having kids.

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.

We're talking about everything BUT sex this week, and how to spice it up in the bedroom sans penetration. We deep dive on kissing (what makes a good makeout, bad kissers, how and when to make the first move), then cover everything from sexy massages to hand jobs to lingerie, and share listener tips and "foreplay gone wrong" stories. Before the foreplay, we're discussing an unprecedented text Rayna sent to a guy, Ashley's wildest Covid test, and what to do (and say) when guys won't leave you alone. Enjoy!

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!

We are honored to be joined again by psychotherapist and bestselling author Lori Gottlieb to discuss a topic so many can relate to: The mother daughter relationship. Lori expertly and compassionately walks us through how to navigate a strained relationship with a mother (or parent) if you have resentment about your childhood/their parenting, feel like they are critical or competitive with you, are lacking boundaries or the tools to express your feelings to them, or just want a better relationship in general. We are also discussing our relationships with our moms; and before we jump into the topic, we're opening up (maybe too much) about some body stuff, unpacking a spooky situation, and recapping Selling the OC. Enjoy! Follow Lori on Instagram @lorigottlieb_author, check out her podcast Dear Therapists, and visit her website for more.

As the 10th anniversary of dating apps approaches, we're answering the question: What are we even doing here? We're joined once again by GGE fave, Jared Freid, to get inside the male mind when it comes to the apps (Why are guys on them? Why do they pen pal? How do you know if a guy only wants to fuck?), discuss the love and hate for them, and how to best approach the swiping experience. We're also reporting our audience poll results for how many people are actually on the apps and succeeding, and giving tips for how to get from app-to-date and best opening lines. And we recap why Ashley officially deleted Hinge and the dream guy Rayna met in the wild. Enjoy! Follow Jared on Instagram @JaredFreid and check out his podcasts U Up? and The JTrain Podcast.

If you've ever been ghosted or gaslit by someone who wasn't deserving of your energy in the first place, this episode is for you. We're discussing how we allow people we're dating (or barely dating) to make us feel anxiety and self-doubt, why we shouldn't, and how to reframe these situations. We're sharing our experiences and our listeners' answers to "I knew I was too good for them when", and before we get into the topic, we're joking about our travel quirks/differences, discussing a hot guy pet peeve, and sharing the names we almost had.
