Girls Gotta Eat

How about a great love story to brighten our souls in these dark days, huh? We're excited to be joined by one of our favorite, been-following-for-years #CoupleGoals -- Arielle Vandenberg and Matt Cutshall. They share how they went from best friends to fiancés, what it's like to work with your partner, why they rarely fight (but also a fight they had recently), tips for couples (and everyone) for staying sane during this time, and more. We're also sharing the funniest/most ridiculous fights our listeners have had with their significant others while being quarantined, and catching up on our latest masturbation mishaps. We hope you enjoy and stay safe! Follow Arielle on Instagram @Arielle and Matt @MattCutshall, and check out their podcast Riled Up.

We finally have our long-awaited guest from Netflix's Love Is Blind -- Kelly Chase!

AND we're introducing another hilarious pandemic-related segment about the depths of the Internet we've all reached during quarantine. Enjoy and stay the f*ck home!

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?).

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 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'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.

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.
