Fun listen!
I really enjoy listening to both the full episode and the snack every week, I feel like these girls would be my friends! I love stories about Raynas dating life, their take on topics and really appreciate the way they don’t shy away from continued conversations on the state of the country which is SO important right now and I’m looking forward to all the wedding updates! But ladies for the love of God please figure out the mic issue. Half the time it sounds like you’re touching it, moving it, tapping your fingers on it who knows but it’s ruining my listening life 😂 otherwise keep up the good work!

The politics are wearing me out…
I still love the show overall, but I really wish Ashley would just start her own podcast for the politics or at least cut back on it? Idk. I somewhat understand political updates on The Snack, but lately it’s been ever.single.episode. I skip a lot of it but it’s still exhausting. I dislike Trump as much as the next person, but there’s a reason very few of the pods I subscribe to are political. Some of us listen to comedy/dating pods to escape anxiety inducing topics.

Long time listener first time reviewer
I’ve been a longtime fan of the show and love so many of the episodes. Just listened to the ep with Weezy and Mandii and it’s one of the best discussions so far imo. Loved it!!

Great as an outlet but out of touch from reality
If I am looking for a podcast to help me unwind and turn off my brain, this podcast is fantastic. I love the humor and dynamic of Rena and Ashley. However, when they address international or political topics, it really feels like they get their information from TikTok and stop there. As a woman who has spent 7+ years in the US military, and did not vote for trump, the way they speak about the military parades and the conflict with Iran, relating that to trump’s presidency, is so ignorant. I really hope you both realize how privileged you are and consider how things actually happen outside of just hating things trump does and supporting things he doesn’t.

Fav show
One of my fav podcasts, entertaining and funny! And appreciate not burying their heads in the sand on politics/current events, if you don’t like that discussion just skip the Snack that’s where they mostly discuss politics!

“I do think Joe Biden was a great president” ummmm WHAT. You’ve officially lost me they act absolutely CLUELESS talking about politics EDIT: raynas birthday episode becomes Ashley whining as always about politics

They’re like SATC
They’re like sex and the city. Used to be good but now they’re just cringe and way too liberal.

Used to be great, now it’s terrible!
Girls Gotta Eat used to be a lighthearted, hilarious escape that I genuinely looked forward to each week. The hosts had great chemistry, and the content around sex, dating, and relationships was both entertaining and relatable. But over the past year, the show has taken a sharp turn. Despite previously stating they wouldn't dive into politics, that’s become the dominant theme—often delivered with heavy bias and misinformation. What was once a comedy podcast has morphed into something unrecognizable, and frankly, it’s exhausting. I’m still holding out hope that they return to the format and tone that made the show special in the first place. Until then, I’ll be taking a break

Used to be a fan
This used to be my favorite podcast. I looked forward to listening every week. However, in the past two years it has gotten very one sided. They used to feel accessible and lift up all types of women, but they have no tolerance for anyone with a different point of view than them anymore. Hoping that it eventually goes back to how it used to be.

Don’t bother listening
I used to love listening to them two years ago but they have become insufferable.

Mourning what it used to be
I’ve been listening to GGE since the beginning. I even came across an old review I wrote raving about it—back when the show was in its prime.. funny, flirty, insightful, and focused on dating and sex with a refreshing, non-preachy tone. It was something you could genuinely recommend to anyone looking for relatable laughs and open, thoughtful conversations. Surprisingly, Rayna—who I once found a bit much—has become the one keeping the show afloat. She’s grown a lot, is self-aware, can joke about herself, and even when she’s opinionated, there’s a sense she respects that not everyone thinks like her, she holds a sense of humility and humor that still makes her likable, even when others may not agree with her. Growth - love it see it. Ashley, on the other hand, has become increasingly difficult to listen to. There’s an air of superiority and entitlement that bleeds through every episode. Despite often stating she’s against hate or bigotry, she regularly makes aggressive and hateful politically charged comments and rants that are dismissive, snide, and lacking in any nuanced understanding. While she claims to value tolerance and being against hate, her constant political jabs are insanely aggressive, one-sided, and usually pretty uninformed. It’s not about having an opinion—it’s about pushing it so hard that there’s no space for nuance, discussion, or, frankly, facts from both sides - not just her extreme liberal newsfeed on IG. The cognitive dissonance is *chef’s kiss*. Recently, she went on a rant about presidential pardons, calling the current president a criminal (who, small detail, hasn’t been convicted), but had zero issue with shady stuff from her side of the aisle. It was so biased and lacking in basic context that I had to laugh It’s not about politics; it’s about the lack of curiosity, nuance, or factual understanding.. It’s wild to hear someone demand openness and respect for others’ beliefs while actively mocking and dismissing half the population. What’s frustrating is that this used to be a show you could recommend to anyone—I’ve shared it with friends across the political spectrum, from hardcore liberals to staunch conservatives, and at this point, not a single one of them still listens. That speaks volumes. It’s honestly super sad because I’m not writing this long review to “attack” Ashley and the show. I genuinely miss what other used to be. I never missed an episode—it was genuinely part of my weekly routine. I’d love to keep supporting, but the emotionally charged, biased monologues have made it hard to listen. It’s tough to respect someone’s opinion when they come off so closed-minded and aggressive. For now, my fellow ex-GGE fans and I have moved on to podcasts like Candace Owens’, where the focus is on clarity, informed perspectives, and not forcing a personal or political agenda on pop culture and other topics.

Used to be a fan
This podcast was my favorite for a lot of years but after their quiet quitting episode I took a break. I came back a year later and have found the episodes to be increasingly focused on the girls’ accomplishments/wealth. It feels so out of touch with reality and with listeners, and is seriously lacking in the substance that used to make it great. I’m really sad because I used to love them but it’s just become really tough to listen to. They have some great guests and I’m not bothered by their political takes as a liberal woman, but am bothered by the poor job they do interviewing guests I’d love to hear from. I feel like they talk over guests and make it about themselves instead of letting the guest speak.

Too much filler/ads
I’ve listened for years and have loved it. Over the past year, it feels like I skip through half the show due to ads spread throughout. Too many ads and not enough substance lately.

The problem with racist white “liberals”
Two racist white women. Don’t give them your time or energy. This podcast is a reflection of wealthy white women who claim to be liberal while promoting whites supremacist values. I used to listen because I needed something easy and shallow as a break from work. It is too shallow… but the portrayed as thoughtful and liberal. They speak repeatedly about how much love Sex and the City and have modeled their lives after it- a show that was racist, fatphobic and problematic at its best when it came out in the 90s. They rarely have guests of color, and are unable to have a critique on themselves, their extremely privileged lives and interests. This show is honestly a racist trap. Only listen if you are seeking an anthropological study on wealthy and willfully ignorant white women who are unaware of the harm they cause and don’t seem to care.

Unsubscribing
They’ve made a point to mention something politically polarizing on every episode.. Unless a story drops on the wide scale cover up of Bidens decline - whom they tried to shame their audience into voting for - then there is no mention of politics at all :) Typical left wing echo chamber podcast. If you want to cover current events, cover all of the events? Its pretty hilarious coming from a show signed with Dear Media (lol) and hosted by girls who allowed their fans to be flashed by a pervert at a live show and then never acknowledged it. If you’re going to take a stance for one side or the other, you need to be consistent and not only when it benefits you. I’ve lost all respect for the hosts.

We get it. You hate men.
I used to love this show!, but lately it’s been taken over with politics and sexism.

Too much self promotion and ads including Trump supporting companies
Overall funny when it’s the actual show but the longest commercial breaks ever including now for their own new vibrator company, literally fast forwarding 30 sec over and over and over and still in ads. Some episodes have just been basically an informercial for the vibrators. Guests have also gone downhill recently. Also they claim to be liberal but still play Trump supporting skims commercials.

Has gotten too much…
The jokes hit. If it was humor and fun. Five stars all day. The political rhetoric has become overwhelming. They talk about being inclusive, but this latest guest did nothing but bash an entire gender and had the nerve to say, if it doesn’t apply to you, you know. As if to excuse saying something with such hate. What we need is to bring everyone together, not rip everyone even further apart. After well over a year of religious listening…sad to say, unsubscribe.

embarrassing
i’m unbothered by their political leanings as a liberal ex listener, but everything else about this podcast, its hosts, and its content is absolutely insufferable. they’re not relatable, and their utter lack of humbleness and humility is the only thing comical about this podcast. there are loads of quality, true sex and relationship centric podcasts you’ll enjoy far more than this one that deliver far better advice and banter.

My podcast BFFs
Rayna and Ashley are kind, empathetic, hilarious, and genuine. They have excellent guests, give great advice, and keep me entertained from start to finish. They are the girl gang I wish I had IRL. It took me awhile to get into GGE, but now I’m obsessed. Not knowing the hosts initially, I was put off by all the chatter at the start of the episodes, but now I love it! If this is you, give it time or skip ahead about 30 min to the main part of the episode. Eventually you will probably also stop skipping like I did ;)

Love them BUT
Love them so much! They are so hilarious & their content is super relatable. But please figure out how to edit your podcasts!! There’s no reason in 2025 (have been listening since 2022) why you can’t splice the commercial with the interview! Like the fact that you were interviewing Esther Perel. And then told her to stop talking so you could promote Buffy is disrespectful and, honestly, unprofessional. You’re not new at the podcasting game anymore. And you can hire people to do this!

Loved it before they got rich
These ladies truly got me through the pandemic, so incredible to listen to and I hope to go to one of their crazy and exciting live shows one day! It’s just getting hard to listen to. I’m so happy that y’all are so successful, it’s amazing, but the podcast itself just seems like a brag fest instead of what it was meant for, a whole hour of bragging and then 30 Minutes of what the show is actually about. I miss the old show. You have lost touch with your audience and possibly even reality. I doubt they even pay attention to their reviews. How to live your best rich life? Seriously? Do you even read the reviews? Morbid does and they changed and are getting great reviews again but you don’t really seem to care about your audience anymore, the people who got you to where you are. The Italy story had most of us disgusted. Have you even listened to yourselves? Out of touch. Update: I cannot believe you’re actually supporting those women going to “space” rich ladies paying for something people work their entire lives for.

No longer a weekly listener
I used to really love this show, but I don’t think I align with it anymore. I will come back to it to see if the episodes seem interesting and relevant, but I don’t think I can be a weekly listener anymore. The main episode topics discussed are almost about nothing and just talking in circles. The snack is not a value add for me. The topics covered are either incredibly niche and uninteresting or outdated news. Lastly, I really cannot get over the MICROPHONE SOUNDS. This is just a pet peeve of mine. This is a very well established show, there should not be any mic sounds.

Way too political
I used to love this podcast but I simply cannot bear to listen to them anymore, if you aren’t listening to the millionth ad in one single episode, you’re being demonized if you aren’t a raging liberal (yes, because we should trust someone who speaks about giving bl*wjobs in front of their dad and rants about Instagram followers at 40 that they are pushing out logical, fact based information about politics.) this pod used to be so great but stuffing politics into an hour and a half of rambling smutty nonsense isn’t a good business strategy. Those who favor politics could never bear to listen to the rest of the content, and those who came for the entertaining, mindless smut can’t stand to listen to an hour of political shaming. Listen to your listeners.

Trump won
It’s hard to realize the truth but, some where in your life you need to stop we so don’t care about you ideologic and you’re goggles but good luck your hate is your truth!!!
amri45
Funny but very political
I don’t want to bash them. I think they’re both funny. But I CANT with all the political talk. I understand wanting to use your platform to speak on things you feel, but how about you give your listeners a warning that your whole pod that day will be about your political views.

Rayna's laugh!!
Her laugh just makes whatever comes out of Ashley's mouth that much funnier. Love it 💗

Fun podcast
I like the guests they have on the show. The show could be improved overall by having more specific examples of things they talk about sometimes.

Wish they’d keep the politics out
Making ppl sound like devil because they don’t agree w you politically is not cute and hard to listen to regardless of wether I agree or not. Have to fast forward past the intro sometimes because of how negative you are towards ppl that don’t have the same opinion as you. Also not a fan of the endless self promotion of their other company. Turning whole episodes into ads instead of how it used to be. But the parts w the guests are great.

Listen to Snark Bait and it’ll tell you all you need to know, friends. I tried, I really did/-probably way longer than I should have. Wish I could give zero stars but this unfortunate review will have to do.

Can't do it anymore
Absolutely insufferable episode about telling lies to your partner and Ashley saying OVER AND OVER how her relationship is perfect and she NEVER lies to ~*sPaRkLe EyEs*~ They are immature, out of touch, and insufferable.

Used to love
I was an avid listener to this podcast for years, even went to a live show in 2019. From repeatedly hosting terrible white men, to insulting certain groups of people, they’ve really made a turn for the worst. That’s to say the least!
TaberStockstill
Nothing that hasn’t already been said
The incessant political rants on a DATING and SEX podcast has become unbearable. The way Rayna sexually exploits herself also comes off so disgusting and desperate, she needs major therapy. And the hundreds of negative Ashley comments on here speak for themselves. I used to love this pod for years but just can’t do it anymore.

Been listening since the beginning
I feel like I’ve grown up with these girls. I love that they talk lifestyle, politics, as well as sex and dating. The podcast has evolved as we have :)

Please stop giving a microphone to men who don’t like women
Content has not matured with the hosts. I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning and it’s just bad. They also consistently interview barely concealed misogynists and never give them any push back. After this recent episode with Ricky whoever I think I’m officially out.

Can’t can’t
I kept trying. I used to be a huge fan agreeing with a lot of other reviews I’m seeing as far as mean, girl, energy, and insufferable. Putting this pod on the back burner.

The Snack 🤍
Fell in love with this podcast before the pandemic, fell off for a little while, and came back because of the snack. With so much insanity going on in the United States right now, it feels so good to listen to the snack episodes and disassociate from the news/world for a while. Thanks you two!

Yikes
Extremely out of touch and hypocritical. The last guest (Ricky) was insufferable and the textbook definition of a narcissist.

Used to be great. Still love Rayna.
I’ve been a listener for 6 years. This used to be my number one favorite podcast to listen to each week. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years it’s become hard to listen to. The incessant talk about politics is exhausting. Ashley turns every single topic into spouting off about it. Even going to the lengths of saying that she hopes Elon Musk DIES in the most recent episode. I don’t care where anyone stands politically, that is so inappropriate and low class. I used to really respect this podcast, but Ashley has made it insufferable now between her politics talk and making it seem like she’s superior to everyone now that she has a little bit of fame. I still love Rayna and wish I could tolerate the show just to hear her but unfortunately I won’t be supporting this podcast anymore.

Can Ashley’s stand up shows be anything but gross sex jokes. Not funny and desperate.

Stopped listening
Don’t want to hear politics on a comedy gossip show. So off putting.

Lost me @ a live show
I was a GGE listener for yearsssss since the OG times but after going to a live show I haven't been able to listen to them again. There was stripping and fake sex talks that were staged. I agree with them politically but I come here for light gossip and sex talks not for their analysis on politics. The podcast has changed.

Not everything has to be political Ashley!!
Why does Rayna trying to make her home and lifestyle HEALTHY turn into a political issue?? Ashley constantly acting like she is morally superior bc she’s a democrat is laughable and SUCH a turn off. The jokes on religion are offensive and TIRED. Oh and like everyone else - if you chose to go into business with dear media knowing what messaging they promote and stand by politically and morally, you have no ground to stand on when you try to tell your listeners to not date or be friends with someone who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. Hypocrites!!

Thank you!
I just listened to an old episode about the ups and downs (mostly downs) of hooking up with a friend, and Ashley and Rayna sharing their experiences with it helped me so much. Their stories made me realize I wasn’t alone in what I was feeling and, as always, made me laugh too. Thanks guys!

Too political
Been listening for years. I used to look forward to listening every Monday (and now Thursdays) and now I find myself not wanting to listen because of the political comments. Regardless of what side they are commenting, the comments turn me off to wanting to click play-which is a shame because they do bring on valuable guests.

Brain washed girlies will complain about anything
EDIT: I stand by what I say below - but Ashley and Rayna… you need a new network. OG: Y’all will listen and give praise when Ashley and Rayna spill their guts about life’s most intimate moments - but their political views are where you draw the line? Grow up. Sharing your political views with the masses is equally, if not more, vulnerable than talking about sex, especially in today’s devise, quick-to-cancel climate. (liberals aren’t the only guilty party ;) And given that the new administration’s political agenda LITERALLY has women’s rights regarding sex/choice on the chopping block, there really is no argument that their beliefs aren’t relevant to the shows genre. IT’S A SEX AND DATING PODCAST FOR WOMEN. Not much has changed topic-wise since the show started. If you’re arguing otherwise, maybe you’re the one who needs to take a good look inward and see what’s different. Ashley and Rayna, keep doing what you’re doing. Huge fan of the weekly show and your guests/topics - plus love the addition of the Snack. Can’t wait to see ya in-person soon!
