Girls Gotta Eat

We're getting wild with our friends (and newly engaged couple) Lauren Riihimaki (aka @LaurDIY) and Jeremy Lewis of Wild ‘Til 9 podcast. We chat about the roller coaster of their dating origin story, Lauren's surprising opening line, trust and privacy, how to feel about your partner's sexual past/hoe phase, and tips for making a relationship work when you live, work, and play together. We also discuss why men tend to drift apart from their friends when they get into relationships when women don't. Before our guests join us, we're talking about knowing when to say yes to a trip and when to say no, and unpacking the "Are we dating the same guy?" Facebook groups. 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. Hope you enjoy and THANK YOU for five wonderful years! Follow us @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg. Visit our website for tour dates, merchandise, and more.

It’s our long-awaited episode all about anal (and other butt stuff) with Dr. Evan Goldstein, nationally renowned anal surgeon and founder/CEO of Bespoke Surgical. Dr. Evan explains the inner workings of our butts and the anal orgasm, and gives a step-by-step process for preparing your body/booty for anal sex. We’re also answering those burning questions about poop, positions, eating ass, and more, and he shares the craziest things he’s had to remove from someone’s butt. Before the doctor comes in, we’re recapping our first earthquake, introducing the newest addition to the GGE team, and discussing the concept of “planned happenstance” in dating. Bottoms up!

We are so honored to have Jay Shetty join us to talk about love – how to realistically look at love, the three ways you should prepare yourself to find it, and keeping it once you have it. We’re also discussing the misconceptions we’ve been conditioned to believe, the importance of self-love and non-romantic love, what the “list” we have for our perfect partner should and shouldn’t look like, how to structure your social calendar when you’re in a relationship, and more. Before Jay joins us, we’re catching up on Ashley’s knee injury, Rayna’s houseguest, and knives as self-defense (lol). Enjoy!

It’s an episode dedicated to something we all (or most of us) have done and aren’t proud of – sabotaging a relationship. We discuss all the ways people sabotage relationships, the reasons we do it, and how to stop, plus we’re sharing our experiences and the saboteur behavior our listeners opened up to us about. Before we get into the topic, we’re breaking down the correlation between chicken wings and blowjobs and recapping another week in LA (spoiler alert: Rayna tripped again, Ashley had to walk out of a workout class).

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!

We’re breaking down what experts and our listeners are expecting for 2023, from conscious swiping to skinny kings to “death of the dinner date," and more.

It's finally here -- the long-awaited mama's boy episode! We brought in marriage and family therapist Whitney Goodman to break down the mother-son dynamic and how the "mama's boy" forms, how it can look when you're dating/married to one, the different levels of impact it has on your relationship, how to approach the situation, what NOT to do and say, and more. We're also sharing our own experiences, our listeners' top mama's boy concerns, and a hilarious/ridiculous story submission that blew our minds. Before Whitney joins us, we're talking about Rayna's recent hookup, Ashley's face procedure, and the two types of people watching The White Lotus. Enjoy!
