Girls Gotta Eat

It’s our highly anticipated pelvic pain episode and we are so happy to be joined by Dr. Sonia Bahlani to discuss the topic. We talk about causes and conditions of pelvic pain, what’s physical vs. mental, and when to seek medical attention. And we deep dive into the sexual aspect of it (why penetrative sex hurts, difficulty orgasming, best positions, lube, exercises, etc.) and answer burning questions like “Are tight pussies really a thing?” and “Are kegels necessary?” Before Sonia joins us, we’re talking about shower habits/debates (again), sharing a ridiculous moment from a recent road trip, and answering the question “How many rebound hookups is too many?” Enjoy!

If you’re sexually curious, this episode is for you. We have Ana Kirova, the CEO and co-creator of the dating app Feeld, join us to talk about exploring non-monogamy and your sexual preferences and desires. We chat about how the pandemic changed people’s mindsets about relationships, how to start exploring a more alternative sexual/dating lifestyle as a single person or with your partner, attitudes about monogamy in different cultures, how to talk to your partner about opening up your relationship, and managing jealousy. And we also discuss the different sexual preferences on the app (there are 20 you can identify with) and defining some, such as hetero-flexible. Before Ana joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s secret trip to the art gallery and why Ashley got so much attention in the airport, plus we break down the biggest issue with guys’ nudes, New Haven pizza, and the Love is Blind reunion.

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!

One of our most popular guests – behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author Logan Ury – is back for another incredible conversation.

Logan breaks down why vulnerability is the primary thing that makes people feel close to you and how to open up more on dates, and we also discuss her experience living on a commune with her partner and all their friends, and the importance of OSOs (other significant others). Before Logan joins us, we’re catching up  on Rayna’s hot new neighbor and Ashley’s nail journey, and we’re sharing our feelings about officially moving from NYC to LA. Plus, we have recs. Enjoy!

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.

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. 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!
