We are so excited to welcome author/podcaster/Bachelor alum Nick Viall into the GGE studio for some real-talk dating advice. We discuss fuckboys vs. players, how to approach (and not approach) the DTR conversation, the step-by-step process for turning a situationship into a relationship, compatibility vs. chemistry (and what’s more important), why love at first sight isn’t real, and more. We also have Nick translate common things guys say ranging from “I can’t give you what you want” to “I want to lay low tonight.” Before he joins us, we break down the Barbie movie, Ashley’s passion for shopping malls, and Rayna’s date with you-know-who.

The Only Way to DTR (and Other Dating Advice) with Nick Viall

Why do guys just want to f*ck you once then stalk your Instagram forever? Should you ditch the apps and meet people in the wild? How do you get over a breakup when you feel like you're gonna die?

These are all topics discussed on Girls Gotta Eat -- a comedy podcast about dating, sex, and relationships co-hosted by Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg.

We are so excited to have Matthew Hussey back, fresh off the release of his amazing new book Love Life, to talk about raising your standards and finding love. He validates the stress (and often sadness) around finding a partner in the first place and why it’s hard to “just relax,” and then we discuss why you may need to fight against your own instincts when dating. Matthew breaks down how to raise your standards, recognize intention vs. attention, stop overvaluing the wrong people, and let go of “unhatched eggs.” He also opens about his marriage and how, at the beginning of the relationship, his wife lowered the stakes while raising the standard. Lastly, we discuss finding the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship. Before Matthew joins us, we’re talking about nudes, awkward customer service interactions, the plane window shade debate, and BOOTH BOYFRIENDS. Enjoy!

How to Stop Overvaluing People Who Undervalue You with Matthew Hussey

It's a hot one! Tyler Cameron is in the GGE studio and we are covering so much – his new construction gig and TV show, the truth about his OnlyFans, if he would ever be the Bachelor (and if he’s been asked), Kristin Cavallari and the Montana Boyz, Gigi Hadid and the Ramada, what he thinks about Tom Sandoval, and why he’s never brought a gift to a wedding. We also discuss his current relationship status, what he’s looking for in a partner, and how he views finances in a relationship. Before Tyler joins us, we’re recapping our Hawaii trip (and hellscape of a boat excursion), Ashley’s housewarming, and Rayna’s lie about her ex. Enjoy!

Tyler Cameron’s New Gig, Dream Girl, and OnlyFans

We’re talking about opposite sex friends when you’re in a relationship – if/when you’re justified in being suspicious, couples having the rule of “no one-on-one hangs,” the controversial “work wife,” changing your behavior when your close guy friend gets into a relationship, and more. We’re also dissecting two listener emails that got us heated. Before we dive in, we’re breaking down the recent Andrew Huberman scandal and sharing a hilarious laser hair removal story, plus why Rayna is the fun one on IG and the popular food Ashley hates.

It’s another episode about money, honey! We are so excited to be joined by Jason Tartick, author of the new book Talk Money to Me, to break down so many important money topics when it comes to relationships. We’re discussing financial infidelity (what it is and how many people commit it), why money issues affect your sex life, recognizing red flags, the truth about prenups, and more. He gives us some fun questions you can ask to learn more about a partner's financial personality, and also the 8 (more serious) things you need to know about someone before moving in with them. We even go over signs that someone is lying about money, and tips for approaching tough conversations in the best way. Before Jason joins us, we’re announcing our 2024 tour (!!!), answering a listeners’ question about her fiancé hijacking their registry, and Rayna shares a traumatic bathroom incident. Enjoy!
