We’re diving into that gray area of infidelity and discussing strip clubs, lap dances, happy endings, emotional affairs, Only Fans, and porn. We’re sharing results from 30K+ listeners polled, and the wide range of feelings people have about all of these occurrences in their relationship. Before we get into the topic, we’re announcing a new member of the family (!!!), chatting about our preferred couple behavior at a party, and discussing the new season of Love is Blind. Enjoy!

It's another episode about moneeey, and this time, we are joined by financial journalist and best-selling author Nicole Lapin to chat about money and dating – what someone’s money style says about what kind of partner they’ll be, red flags to look for on a date, how to approach awkward conversations about finances, handling salary disparity with your partner when it comes to rent, vacations, etc., and more. Plus, we’re also tackling money issues with friends (like that one friend who never pays you back and why you shouldn’t go in debt for someone’s wedding). Before Nicole joins us, we are sharing our (and our listeners') wildest cheap date stories, debating another theory about breakup season, and chatting about how friendships change over time. Enjoy!

We sat down with our new friend (and fellow podcaster) Jade Iovine for a raw and vulnerable conversation about mental health. Jade opens up about her depression and anxiety, coming out of her rock bottom, her journey with (and feelings surrounding) medication, and being in a relationship when you have mental illness and your partner doesn't. We also discuss the damaging effects of social media and how to stop letting comparison steal your joy, and Jade introduces us to the concept of reparenting and shares how it's been changing her life. Before she joins us, we're circling back to the foreplay discussion and answering the questions "Can you change a bad kisser?" and "What qualifies as eating ass?" Enjoy!

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.

We're talking about the trend of "quiet quitting," and if you don't know what that is -- don't worry, we're breaking it down and sharing our feelings. We discuss our careers, millennials vs. Gen Z, and give tips for having a career you love (if that's what you want). Also Rayna recaps her (second) breast reduction, and Ashley shares a date story and the best text response when someone from your past hits you up. Plus, we have TV and book recs. Enjoy!

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.
