We had #BachelorNation favorite Kendall Long join us in the LA studio to cover some lighter topics (What do you ask someone on a first date to see if you vibe?) to the much heavier (How do you let someone you love go when your future plans don't align?). She opens up about her relationship with Joe -- meeting in Paradise, choosing where to live, trusting him on Dancing With the Stars, and the painful breakup they just went through, largely due to where they wanted to live. We also share our listeners' first date questions (and answer them ourselves), and recap more of our Australian adventures including the best hotels to take nudes in and Rayna's man mission. We hope you enjoy! Follow Kendall on Instagram at @KeyKendall88, and check out her podcast Down to Date. Follow us @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley @AshHess, and Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg.

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 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.

We're deep diving into another cute manipulative behavior in relationships: Gaslighting! We discuss how to recognize it, how to address it, if it can be fixed, and even the origination of the term. Also on the episode: Netflix recs, Ashley's secret podcast past, Rayna's new live show request, being friends with exes, condom storage, and more. And we're wrapping it up with a sweet and spicy round of How I Knew It Was Real. We hope you enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg, and Ashley @AshHess.

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! Follow Connor on Instagram @ManTalks and check out his website for more.

In the first bonus episode of the decade, we're answering the questions we get asked the most -- how did you become friends and start the podcast? (Even if you know our origin story, we're sharing never-before-told details on this one). We're opening up about where we were in our lives when our paths crossed, how we knew the friendship was real, the creation of GGE, going into business with someone, our "this is it" moments, and more (Ashley's favorite food, Rayna's alleged speech impediment, etc).
