Girls Gotta Eat

This one may ruffle some (male) feathers, but that’s par for the course with Professor Chesko – award-winning communications professor, podcaster, husband, father, and feminist. We talk with him about the manosphere and why men taking advice from other men is such a problem. We’re chatting about why (some) men have it all wrong when it comes to women and money, men pursuing women when they don’t actually understand or respect women, and men who only date super young women and why. Chesko tells us about his haters and why they call him a “pick me,” but also how he’s been able to have productive conversations with some of them in the DMs. We are also going off about all the ridiculous stuff that’s considered “gay” in those toxic corners of the Internet, and then we break down some bad behaviors like ghosting, breadcrumbing, and other red flags. Before our guest joins us, Rayna shares two crazy things that happened to her before and on a flight, and Ashley’s bachelorettes are beginning. Enjoy!  Follow Professor

We have wild and hilarious comedian/podcaster Ian Fidance join us to talk about everything from butt plugs to friend fights. We open with trading some drunk Delaware stories (and how Ian is sober now), then we talk about a porn star he’s dating, coming out as bisexual (and why he doesn’t exactly relate to that label), misconceptions about bisexuality, and why people project their judgements on others’ lifestyles. We chat about his best friendship with his podcast cohost Jordan, and he shares a story about them fighting on the streets of New York…then we share our own. We also discuss how everyone seems to be so freaky nowadays (but are they really?), and we break down an insane listener question about her fiancé going to Vegas for his bachelor party. Before Ian joins us, we’re talking about why dinner dates are the worst dates (just hear us out), the animal encounters we’ve been having at our houses, and Ashley announces her special taping.

Therapy is in session! We have incredible therapist and author Lori Gottlieb join us for a third time to discuss sibling relationships and dynamics – competitiveness and jealousy in adult siblings (especially around milestones), growing up with totally different experiences in the home, favoritism from parents, and even estrangement. And we dive into the hot topic of not liking/not getting along with a sibling’s partner and how to navigate these situations and approach tough conversations. Before Lori joins us, Rayna has a dating update only true GGE fans will understand, and Ashley had an unexpected encounter at a gay bar (plus, catch us in Denver this weekend).

Harry Jowsey is here and he’s not holding back! We have the reality TV star and podcaster join us for a wild conversation about everything from having threesomes with friends (does it make it awkward afterward?) to what he’s looking for in a partner (or is he not looking at all?) to why he’s faked orgasms before (yes guys do it, too). He defends his fuckboy reputation and offers advice to the ladies for how not to get love bombed, and we find out what he actually knows about women’s bodies, from what we like in bed to what an IUD is for. And then we break down two juicy listener emails and decide whether the guys in question are boyfriend material. Before Harry joins us, we’re offering advice for a tough situation submitted from a listener – her partner made plans to propose (still hasn’t) and she’s struggling with staying in the relationship. Enjoy!  Follow Harry on Instagram at @harryjowsey and listen to his podcast Boyfriend Material.  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayn

Strap in for a wild ride with Weezy WTF and Mandii B, hosts of Decisions Decisions podcast and authors of their debut book No Holes Barred, as we discuss all things sexual exploration. We talk about open relationships – what “cheating together” means, jealousy as a turn-on, and what people don’t understand about being open/polyamorous. We also discuss threesomes, cucking (and light cucking by way of telling your partner about other sexual experiences), being a side chick, drunk sex, and on the deeper side, settling for toxic relationships and getting out of threatening situations with men. And we ask them a burning question – “Are you actually friends?” Before Mandii and Weezy join us, we’re talking about hooking up at work and sharing our past experiences, previewing our upcoming European trip, and we have an Azul update (don’t worry, he’s fine).
