The Snack: Canceling Men vs. Women, Barbie Nightmare, and Hard Launch Goals

We have the dean of Daddy Academy himself, Niko Emanuilidis, back on GGE to spill all the tea on the male POV. We talk about low effort dating (does a coffee date mean he’s not interested?), why guys don’t confirm a date the day of, how long a dating break should last, and if you can win someone back once they’ve pulled away. Then we dive into the four phases of dating someone (essentially the first three months) and we LOVE this conversation and breakdown – how each phase should play out, what you should find out about a potential partner in each phase, how things change after sex, why and how men “vet backwards,” when to discuss being official, the difference between being exclusive and being boyfriend/girlfriend (we debate this one!), and the point at which you should call it if things aren’t clear. Before Niko joins us, Ashley reveals a regretful thing she did at the airport and Rayna headlined a sushi restaurant unintentionally. Enjoy!

We are joined by the one-and-only Jackie Schimmel of the Bitch Bible podcast for a candid, hilarious discussion not for the easily offended! We are talking about motherhood (why she doesn’t identify with being a “mama” and parenting on her own terms), how to not give a f*ck what strangers on the Internet think or say about you, her radical wellness journey and why we all need to be red lighting, and being with a genuinely kind partner when you always want to talk shit. We also discuss crying videos on social media and pop off about what’s pissing us off right now, from an insane micro-trend to the worst type of people in public. Before Jackie joins us, we answer an email from a listener wondering how long it takes attraction to grow, and we discuss how to improve your vocabulary. Enjoy!

We are discussing the viral article “I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me)” – what these relationships look like, why witnessing them on TV/social media is so triggering to people, and why women stay in these relationships and defend their partners’ behavior. We talk about triangulation (the “us against the world” mindset), signs you’re in a relationship like this, how to approach it with your partner, and when it’s time to break up. Then we dissect two listener emails – one from a woman whose partner never compliments her and another from a woman whose partner has been making her feel small in public. Before we get into the topic, we address the breakup rumors about us (!!!), when commenting on IG takes a turn, and the real reason people like spicy food.
