Girls Gotta Eat

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. Before Ali joins us, we're chatting about male height surgery (yes, it's a thing) and breaking down a cum cleanup debate. Enjoy!

We are joined by the brilliant Dr. Andrew Huberman and he's educating us on attachment theory and the science of love and desire. We're discussing how we develop our attachment style from childhood and how it affects our adult life and relationships, if/how it can change, our brains in different states (for example, when we're anxious and in love), power dynamics in a relationship, how to manage your anxiety in dating (and in everyday life), keeping the attraction and excitement alive in a relationship, and more.

Alternate title for this episode was "They Always Come Back" and we're talking about what to do when they do. We're laying out all the reasons why your ex will try to slip back into your life and how to assess their motivation and your feelings about it, then react (or not) accordingly. We're sharing a lot of own experiences, as well as our listeners' stories of the craziest ways exes have resurfaced. Before we get into the topic, we're circling back on short kings, discussing dick size, popping off about hotel mini bars, and recapping a hard launch situation that threw us for a loop. Enjoy!

Back by popular demand, we are welcoming men's coach Connor Beaton to bring us inside the male mind once again. We're discussing why men feel jaded by dating these days and the most common issues they're facing in relationships, then deep diving on conflict -- underlying reasons why your partner might be upset, how to understand him (and the situation) better in a fight, and more. And while we have Connor, we're asking him some burning questions including "Why do guys get heartbroken once when they're young then turn into fuckboys forever?" and "What do I do when my partner is insecure about my sexual past?" Before our guest joins us, we're celebrating Short King Spring. Enjoy! Follow Connor on Instagram @ManTalks and check out his podcast Man Talks.

It's another game changing conversation; we're taking an essential look at texting with Dr. Mimi Winsberg and discussing how this important form of communication relates to our compatibility and chemistry with someone and can even predict the fate of a relationship. Mimi walks us through the five texting languages, how texts can help you determine someone's personality type early on, toxic text traits, landmines to avoid when texting, emojis, response time, spotting liars, and more. Before Mimi joins us, we're spilling some tea on our families, recommending the shows we've been loving, and confessing what we literally don't care about lately. Enjoy!

We're breaking down weaponized incompetence, and how it hurts (mainly) women and ruins relationships. If you don't know what it is, you've probably experienced it in some way; and don't worry, we're defining it and discussing ways to spot it and stop it. We're sharing our stories and examples from our listeners, and recommending a life changing book for overwhelmed mothers (Fair Play by Eve Rodsky). Before diving into the topic, we're recapping the insane Bachelor finale, opening up about our buttholes, and reading a WILD Bumble exchange via Jenny Jones. Enjoy!

We're so happy to welcome podcaster/dancer/winemaker/Bachelor Nation legend Kaitlyn Bristowe, and she's getting just as refreshingly candid as we expected about her relationship, previous breakup, mental health, and more. We're chatting about dating someone more private (when you're not), how she and Jason got out of the friend zone, hormonal depression, nudes, period sex, and more. AND we were inspired to bring back Is This Weird? (you'll see why). Before Kaitlyn joins us, we are deep diving on the relationship "soft launch" -- what it means, how to do it, and our experiences.

It's a breakup episode for the books with one of our besties (more Rayna's friend) Emily Fedner! We chat briefly about Emily's awesome and inspirational food career before we get into her recent breakup and the ~journey~ from stunned and heartbroken to surviving and thriving. She opens up about being blindsided by her partner of 6+ years, the feelings she'd been having about the relationship before it happened, and how she overcame the debilitating heartbreak (spoiler alert: she's back on the dating scene and killing it). We think this story will resonate with so many, and we're so happy she shared her truth with the GGE family. Before Emily joins us, we're recapping our California sexcapades. Enjoy!

It's our 4-year anniversary episode and a long-awaited topic: BLOWJOBS! We're covering it all from tips and tricks to visualization techniques to spitting/swallowing, and we're reframing the whole experience in terms of "blowjobs" vs. "sucking dick" (which may lessen the anxiety for anyone with a blowbia).

We are so honored to be joined by the one-and-only Rachel Lindsay -- author, podcaster, media personality, attorney, and former Bachelorette. Rachel doesn't hold back as we discuss her sexual awakening after growing up in a strict, religious family, the challenges and outside judgements of her interracial relationship, her marriage being long-distance for a period of time (and how they kept it spicy), speaking out against the Bachelor franchise, and which Bachelor she wanted to sleep with but didn't.

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.

In our first solo episode of the year, we're diving deeper into a topic combo that's always relevant: Communication and conflict. We're covering romantic relationships, friendships, and even work situations while discussing the importance of speaking up when something bothers you, how to express yourself in a productive way, why your initial reaction isn't always how you really feel, and how to re-address something when you already reacted one way. Before we get into it, Rayna pops off about everything that's been happening in pop culture (ahem, Tristan Thompson), and Ashley shares an overdue date story.

She shares her story of sobriety and walks us through the process and self-reflection for people who want to examine their relationship with alcohol and explore quitting or cutting back (and yes, we're chatting about the fear of dating and socializing sober). We're also discussing why our brains aren't made for the social media world and why it's ok to not be positive all the time.

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).

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!

Oh yesss, we have an erotic and educational episode for y'all! We're so excited to chat with sex educator and author Dr. Justin Lehmiller about fantasies, fetishes, f*cking your friends, and more.

She's baaaack! We're so happy to be joined again by one of our favorite guests (and people overall) Katie Sturino. We pick up where we left off with her booty call turned husband, and are chatting about a topic we're so glad came up -- what you think you want in a future partner vs. what you actually want/need, and how to get there mentally. We're also chatting about body acceptance, pinpointing and cutting out negative influences, and dating when you're insecure about your body. And we bring back a beloved segment, Fuck My Phone, with embarrassing stories from Rayna and our listeners, catch up on a wild night Ashley had at the comedy club, and discuss unfollowing your friends' exes on Instagram.

It's episode 169 (!!) and we brought back one of our favorite and most impactful guests, psychotherapist and best-selling author Dr. Ian Kerner, for another important discussion about sex. This time around, we're discussing the "sex script" and some of the main issues that plague couples including lack of sex/sexual satisfaction in the relationship, mismatched sex drives, boredom in the bedroom, and more. And we're tackling topics applicable to everyone regarding foreplay (and getting the kind you want), orgasms (or lack thereof), oral sex, and communication. Plus, we catch up on our Florida trip.
