We all know women are the FBI when it comes to dating, and we are diving in deep with the hosts of The Dating Detectives podcast – private investigator Mackenzie Fultz and comedian Hanna Anderson. We discuss how to catch liars, cheaters, catfishes, and DOGfishes, how to find someone online, the number one red flag when newly dating someone, why you can never trust a photo, "Are we dating the same guy?" Facebook groups, and when to be suspicious if a guy tells you his ex was crazy or he's cheated in the past. We also discuss the day-to-day of being a PI and how to become one (for Ashley), and we break down two unsolved dating mysteries – one wild listener submission and one mind-boggling experience a male friend of ours had. Before our guests join us, we're talking about cheap guys, farting in front of your partner, and a dining experience we keep having that would only happen in LA. Enjoy!  Check out The Dating Detectives podcast.

We are thrilled to have journalist/author/podcaster Liz Plank join us to discuss the state of men, dating, and the country. We talk about masculinity and feminism, and the illuminating research about what type of society benefits both genders the most. We dive into dating and mating – which careers are the best and worst to date (ie. actors vs. athletes), what to do when you know your "type" is wrong for you, why women should be pickier when selecting a partner, and the decision of having kids. Lastly, we talk about the state of the world and Liz's impactful advice for coping in these unprecedented times, and end answering some boy problems from our listeners ranging from "the sex is good but he's boring" to "I don't want to change my last name." Before Liz joins us, we dive into an email from a listener who doesn't know if she should confront her best friend about her relationship, and we debate the sentiment "Drunk words are sober thoughts." Enjoy! Follow Liz on Instagram @feministabulous and listen to her podcast Boy Problems.  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

It's a friendship episode, and we're focusing on feeling left out, whether it's being excluded from a group, feeling distance from a bestie, friends you introduced becoming closer, or not being part of someone's wedding when you expected to be. We chat about the pain of these experiences and how to navigate them, and break down listener emails and whether the friendships are salvageable. We're also discussing if a trio of best friends can ever work, whether or not to invite someone to your wedding, clout chasing friends, and toxic mom groups. Before we get into the topic, Ashley announces her honeymoon destination, Rayna finds out she was unintentionally luring in her exes on Facebook, and we discuss the wildest dating app photos we've ever seen.

This episode is truly a game changer for anyone struggling with work stress, work life balance, or honestly, just having a job in general (so, everyone?) We are welcoming back psychologist and bestselling author Guy Winch to tell us how not to let work run (and ruin) your life. We discuss how to actually turn off after work, boundaries when you work from home, a ritual for curing the Sunday Scaries and not dreading Monday morning, learning how to appreciate your job (but also, when you should quit), and tips for vacationing better including his "triple dip" theory. We also discuss work stress in a relationship, including the effects on your sex life and how not to absorb your partner's work stress. Before Guy joins us, we have a celebratory (and awkward) moment for our 8-year anniversary, and we're recapping Rayna's tour kickoff and frigid trip to Florida. Enjoy! Follow Guy on Instagram @guywinch and get his new book Mind Over Grind.  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg. Visit girlsgottaeat.com for more.
