  • over their political nonsense

    I go back and forth between hate-listening and actually laughing because Reyna’s laugh is contagious. BUT at this point, I’m exhausted by how often they feel the need to remind everyone how liberal they are. We get it. It doesn’t need to be inserted into every other conversation.

    What makes it even more eye-roll-worthy is that they’re two white women who grew up upper-middle class but constantly position themselves as if they’re speaking for everyone. Then they’ll spend the next episode talking... more

  • Something to think about

    I’ve loved every single episode except Kristina Denton. Ladies, she made unverified negative and dismissive comments about physicians. Behavioral health and physicians should be working together. She also condemns women for not helping men through their issues, but doesn’t condemn men for not helping women through their issues. It should be a two-way street. While her work was wonderful, she herself, did not come off as mature, rather a “pick-me.” You can support men without putting down other p... more

  • Love your takes

    Don’t listen to the haters, we love you girls and everything you’ve built.

    For those of you who don’t want to hear about how the political climate is affecting women and minorities, then don’t listen. Some of us are dealing with the very real consequences to our bodies, autonomy and safety that this administration has created. If it inconveniences you or offends you to hear about the repercussions of something you voted for, maybe you should consider why it makes you so uncomfortable.

  • Bring back comedians

    I miss the chaotic/silly energy used to get from GGE. I just re-listened to the Andrew Collin/pet episode and Jared’s eps and my stomach hurt from laughing. You could still keep your love life private and bring on comedians, games like psycho/power move or listener emails, and give your funny take on them. I also loved the random stories more recently when Rayna left the cigarettes in the laundry 😂 I wanna hear more daily life stuff

  • What happened

    Can they go one podcast without making everything political? Ashley should just move out of the states if she hates it so much. You are not making a difference. The World Cup in particular how everything here is so fun right now - straight to negativity. It’s so embarrassing how she can’t go what seems like 10 minutes without talking about Trump.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If This Was Your Last Single Summer feat. Tunde Oyeneyin
Q: What advice would you give to someone pursuing a high-profile career and dating at the same time?
Set clear boundaries, communicate your priorities, and seek partners who support your ambitions and understand the public nature of your work.
If This Was Your Last Single Summer feat. Tunde Oyeneyin
Q: How did you stay motivated after the initial Peloton audition didn't go your way?
I focused on what I could control, kept showing up, and treated the setback as a learning moment, which ultimately helped me perform better the second time around.
What Men Are Thinking When They’re Dating feat. Niko Emanuilidis
Q: How should dating phases unfold from a first date to a committed relationship?
Phases should unfold over roughly 12 weeks, with dates spaced weekly early on, escalating intimacy gradually, and moving toward exclusivity around month and a half to two months depending on mutual signals and readiness.
What You Need to Know About Finding and Keeping Love with Jay Shetty (Re-Release)
Q: How can someone prepare themselves to be open to a healthy relationship?
Jay argues for internal work first—know your personality, values, and goals; build a strong foundation with self-love; and cultivate a life you love so you're not looking for someone to complete you. The conversation emphasizes check-ins with yourself and setting boundaries to protect your heart.
Mom Shaming, Crying Videos, and Not Giving a F*ck with Jackie Schimmel
Q: How do you deal with online criticism about your life choices?
