Girls Gotta Eat

It's just us this week, and we have a lot to talk about. We're recapping the election from the CNN zaddies to election night charcuterie to our experiences on announcement day and our hopes for the future. We're also chatting about conflict with family/friends surrounding politics and some tips for managing, especially as the holidays near. And of course we wouldn't let you down with our regularly scheduled programming -- we both had WTF moments with dudes over the weekend, but we're sharing an optimistic outlook for the dating landscape going forward. AND we're serving up a hilarious segment of That Took a Turn, and recapping the wild outcome of The Bachelorette. Enjoy!

You might want to take notes on this one because we covered A LOT of ground with the hilarious and insightful Nina Parker of E's Nightly Pop and Dating #NoFilter. We're discussing tips and knowledge for dating better -- first impressions (and why they don't matter), do's and dont's for dates, body language, compliments, RED ASS FLAGS, effective bios and opening lines on dating apps, and more. But we're also diving deeper and chatting about Nina's career journey, healing after a breakup, knowing yourself and what you want, and the importance of shooting your shot (especially in 2020). And we share how we're feeling about the upcoming election. We hope you enjoy! Follow Nina on Instagram @MzGossipGirl and watch Dating #NoFilter on E! returning 11/18.

We're joined by intimacy expert (and relationship counselor to the stars) Michaela Boehm, and she's educating us on achieving intimacy first with yourself then with a partner, how to keep the passion alive in a long-term relationship, going from "go mode" to "flow mode" in the bedroom, the problem with fancy anniversary dinners, tantric sex, and more. We're also answering the question, "If the sex is bad at the beginning, is there any hope?" and getting real about determining if someone is a long-term match for you. We're also discussing our ideal living situations with a partner (Ashley's is...unique), and Rayna reflects on a significant anniversary and how it has affected her life today. We hope you enjoy!

We're talking about friends of the opposite sex -- addressing the age-old question "Can men and women just be friends?", discussing what healthy, platonic relationships look like, and deep diving on JEALOUSY. We're breaking down being jealous/skeptical of a partner's friendships (from both sides) and how to handle it, from the self-talk to distinguishing the difference between innocent and suspicious behavior to deciding if someone's jealousy is a dealbreaker. And we're sharing our listeners' "mutual friend zone" behaviors with their besties. Plus, we recap the season premiere of The Bachelorette (well, mainly Dale Moss), give a surprising cinnamon broom update, and share our feelings on guys' hand size. Hope you enjoy!

We have a hot and hilarious one for you this week with comedian Usama Siddiquee. We're discussing his life growing up Muslim and sheltered then finding his way sexually in college, and how he views religion now. We're also chatting about open relationships, pursuing a passion that doesn't align with your parents' expectations, the sexiest home decor, sleeping with people "at work", and why (some) men don't like funny women. And we have Usama "manalyze" some listener questions like why do guys DM instead of text and can you come back from getting too drunk on a first date, PLUS we're giving a juicy update on Rayna's Cleveland man-fan.
