Girls Gotta Eat

Andrew Collin, comedian and frequent co-host on tour and social media, joins for quickfire pop culture takes. They gossip about Zendaya and Tom Holland, unpack the Jim Carrey clone conspiracy, react to Benny Blanco’s viral moment, and debate Sofia Franklyn’s memoir and Love Story’s Carolyn Bessette portrayal. Plus TV casting news, viral installations, and hockey on SNL.

Liz Plank, award-winning journalist and bestselling author who studies gender and masculinity, explores why modern masculinity matters. Conversations cover which careers make appealing partners, when your “type” might be wrong for you, why pickiness can protect women, decisions about having kids, and how to cope with societal anxiety.

They unpack the viral story of Punch the monkey and what it reveals about primate behavior. They celebrate Alysa Liu’s triumphant skating moment and discuss confidence in women athletes. They react to both U.S. hockey wins and the fallout that followed. They recap Love Is Blind’s dramatic turns, focusing on surprising villainy and messy relationships. They review the America’s Next Top Model documentary and industry exploitation themes.

They dig into the sting of being left out and why friendship breakups can feel uniquely painful. Conversations tackle trio dynamics, friends growing closer after introductions, and whether someone deserves a wedding invite. They also weigh in on clout-chasing pals, toxic mom groups, and how to confront exclusion kindly.

Back for another life changing discussion, we have therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab to talk about healthy dependency in relationships – what it is, what's the difference from unhealthy dependency/codependency, and how to achieve it. We discuss how to not lose yourself in a relationship, dating someone who's enmeshed with their family, why our attachment styles aren't fixed and how we show up differently with different people, and the problem with hyper independence. We also discuss friendship enmeshment and when one friend needs space, accommodating friends' boundaries without losing them (and when you might need to cut someone off), navigating your best friend getting into a relationship, and how to understand different peoples' communication styles. We even touch on parenting and codependency with children. Before Nedra joins us, we analyze some wrong number texts Rayna has been receiving, and answer the question 'Can a morning person be with a non-morning person?' Enjoy! Follow Nedra on Instagram at @nedratawwab and preorder her new book The Balancing Act (out February 10). Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.
