Half of the podcast, i heard ten of times vagina and buthole but no real conversation. Try harder!

Was obsessed with the pod, Still check in weekly.. Still get excited for my Monday GGE session. Unfortunately…I continue to get disappointed weekly. I get it, ur NOT poor… I watch Bravo to get my weekly dose of “relatable” content. Seems like I’m not the only fan who’s bummed out weekly over hearing Ashley talk about how rich she is, sparkle eyes, fancy vacations and vibes. Get urself a reality show if that’s all you wanna bring to the table… feel like this is a break up cause I officially have the ICK over how the pod has changed.

Listen. These girls are entertaining. I don’t agree with all their opinions. They’re pretty woke which is dumb. But they’re just so likable I can’t help it I love to listen.

I used to love them! I even went to a live show. They just seem so out of touch with reality now and have gotten so political. I feel as if they put any and everyone down who doesn’t agree with their beliefs. Congrats on your success ladies! Unsubscribing

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.

Great guest ! Loved this podcast! #jasonforbachelor

My friend and I used to listen religiously and even went to live shows until they became so out of touch when they got to LA 😭 this podcast has helped me so much as a girl navigating her 20s, but I feel like my cooler older sisters are now so unrelatable. The episodes have turned into a ton of vibes only and live show marketing with stories about how lavish their lives are now because of the money they’re making. I’m so so happy for their success, but I just think they lost their touch.

Episodes are just one long ad now

🙌

I used to LOVE this pod and listen to it religiously but lately it feels like each episode is just one super long commercial. 20 minutes into the episode and I’ve already heard 5 ad reads I’m SO OVER IT. it’s ridiculous.

Rayna you are not a scientist, Ashley your style is awful. So rude and ugly inside and out. Never laugh at someone with a PhD. You could never do it. So ignorant and lack grace. Be grateful of all you have been given, you are on your way out.

This podcast has become so political, it is truly exhausting. I used to come to this podcast for a break from the real world but all they seem to want to discuss lately is their uneducated, one sided view of politics. It’s disgusting.

Absolutely insufferable. I simply cannot stand Ashley, I find her to give mean girl energy, obsessed with herself, and a try hard. Unsubscribing.

I love you gals!!! Love the pod! But hey, episode 308 was on super high speed!! I slowed it down so I could hear all the words lol

DO NOT LET YOUR DAUGHTERS LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY!!! I am SO extremely sad I can no longer listen to this podcast. It used to be my favorite. Unfortunately Ashley has repeatedly forced her liberal and nonsensical opinions ruin this podcast. Not only is she providing false information, but she is forcing her mindset upon thousands of young women, which will lead to these women making decisions with no real research being done. I am a girl in my late 20s who has taken upon myself to learn more about politics and the terrible things that will happen to this country if girls my age listen to people like Ashley. It is horrifying that Ashley is using her platform in a way that leaves no room for the right side of things and clearly shows she has not done any of her research (embarrassing for her!!). Poor Rayna is forced to agree with Ashley. I hope this podcast fails, just like Biden’s presidency. Would love to hear Candace Owen’s to put Ashley in her place.

Thank you guys so much for doing what you do! I enjoy supporting two women who love each other and their jobs. You guys have put me on so many people to follow and have helped me become aware of changes I’d like to make in my life, giving ideas of where to start. I’m super grateful because you’ve been a great tool in guiding me to experts I never knew existed that have helped me better commit to growth. I save episodes and use it to listen to during my work out. The show is hilarious and makes me sound like a dork laughing on the treadmill but it’s worth it.

I used to love this show but had to stop listening because the politics were over the top. This is supposed to be a fun show not an ad for a specific political party…

I’m hoping maybe if I’m not taking the number of stars down maybe this review will be taken with more open ears. Have always loved this podcast, yes ads can be long but people gotta pay the bills, and it’s nice to hear the likes of Esther Perel and Andrew Huberman talking to people I feel like I can relate to. I have always admired the way you address social issues. Even though this isn’t a political podcast I appreciate the way you know your reach and use it to address social issues. Cut to today and your insistence for Biden and I feel the need to say something. First, I get it, lesser of two evils I know without a doubt BUT Joe Biden is actively funding a genocide. Just like you said people coming for abortion don’t actually care about those kids lives, can you stand for women’s rights if that stance doesn’t extend to women everywhere. Like all the innocent women and children ( and men whose lives are also important) who are dying through the war crimes of their occupiers? I understand you could flip the coin and say it’s not your responsibility to say anything, but you spoke out about Israel. I’m not here to condemn you for that there was only so much information and I understand not wanting civilians to die, but to not say ANYTHING after witnessing what has unfolded is wildly disappointing. Have you only stood for black and brown women in the past because it served your brand? Do Arab lives not hold the same weight to you? I’ve never felt let down by a personality I follow but I think I had learned to expect better from you two.

this is such a great podcast!! Easy listening and makes me laugh out loud … I started listening during Covid and it felt like I was listening to/hanging out with all my college and adult good friends! Thought most of them would come back after Covid ended, but yeah, not so much and thanks for being there for all your listeners and for making me believe I have my friends again!! I really wanna hang out with you girls … as I’m sure all your 28,000 listeners do as well! Let’s have a party!!! Honestly, your podcast has helped me get through a pretty rough two years and even laugh my way though my insomnia!! So I’m paying it forward. Oh - and - where to we donate/ monthly or at random times with💰💰 to your podcast ?? I just tried to do that for about 15 minutes and then gave up and decide to review instead! Oh, and I bought a bunch of merch from your store!!!! More colors for the snacks sweatshirts but make them hoodies or maybe some long sleeved polos like from the late 80s?please please! Katie

“Conservatives want poverty” 🥴 Not interested in hearing Ashley’s idiotic political commentary over the next year.

I thought you were “grown ups” Yet your guests are aimed at 20 somethings. So disappointing. It’s like listening to 2 immature giddy girls who are just entering adulthood for the first time. Meanwhile your near from that time in your lives. Would LOVE some grown up conversations that revolve around dating after divorce or being single and dating in 30s-50s. Moroever, It’s like you have only one “setting” or one “tool” in your toolbox. The crude, overtly sexually explicit commentary, is not always the answer. I’m far from a prude, but You need to be able to adjust accordingly. It’s very tough to offend Chelsea handler, yet… YOU DID!!!! You never even try to read the room!!! You should! The best conversation you had was with Nick Vial. Likely because he’s a grown up who doesn’t try to act like a child. You followed his lead and it was great! Kristen Cavalerri is a great example. She’s overt but manages to also reel it in and be an adult as well. It will come in handy and you’ll appeal to a much wider audience. Also, if Ashley isn’t the boss, stop letting her behave as though she is. ✌️

Audio is so much better having the microphone on a stand instead of moving them around all the time. It sounds like a professional podcast now.

Loved the episode about birth control!!! So much good information!!

I found this podcast late and would binge the episodes. The last year or so the episodes have been rough to get through. I’ve found myself skipping 40 percent of each episode due to the in-depth ads and promotion of their company.

Title has little to nothing to do with content. They’re annoying with their back and forth and their voices don’t help.

Used to love this pod. No longer relatable.

I used to love this pod 4 year ago. But they got so mean and judgy. I stopped listening once they started the sex toy company. Every episode felt like an ad and they started to act like they were super famous. Anyway they came up on my FYB on TikTok and I thought I would give it another try to see if they improved over the past couple years. And that is a hard NOPE! They are so much worse. Superficial and out of touch.

I’ve been a fan since 2018 shortly after they began this podcast. I’ve been to shows, purchased merch, and shared episodes on my ig stories. Israel has been terrorizing Palestine for decades. Shortly after a small group of extremists attacked isreal on October 7th (death toll of about 1,000) Rayna speak on episode about how she’s so sad for Israelis because she’s Jewish. Goes on and on about it. Briefly says she doesn’t want violence upon anyone but her empathy was with isreal alone and chose to speak only after October 7th. Since that day, every single week their has been more devastation in Palestine that isreal has ever experienced. 30,000 Palestinian deaths. Refugee camps and hospitals bombed. Have either of these two said ANYTHING about it? No. Yet last week they both cried about their fancy studio getting water damage? They have become pathetic, entitled, self-obsessed, and claim to be progressive, so caring about others, racial issues, etc to gain approval. Very disappointed and disgusted. I used to actually look up to them.

I’ve been listening to you guys for years! You guys talking about going out in sweats gave me so much confidence to just run out in my spandex and hoodie. I went he to dress up and while listening to your last episode I totally changed my mind and I’m rocking the sweats. I’ve learned so many life tips and feel like I’ve literally become a better person after listening to you guys for so long!

I was a religious GGE listener but these past few months it’s become really hard to listen to. I’m appalled by the degrading ableist language these women allow and Ashley couldn’t be more annoying lately - her attitude toward Rayna is so mean girl-esque and she needs to get over herself (what 40 year old calls their partner a nickname like “Sparkle Eyes”?). Rayna should start her own podcast without Ashley - she’s the only reason I sometimes still listen.

Long time listener here! As a long time fan of both Rayna and Ashley, as well as mystic Michaela, I just loved this Collab!,

If you manage to get through the initial 30-40 mins on intro advertisements for their company and sponsors what awaits you is some poorly researched interview with recycled content. Don’t bother- there are much better podcasts to listen to nowadays.

After the first 40 minutes of giggling nonsense, this episode was spot on. Because yes! Denver is full of non-committal Peter Pan’s!!

Love Rayna and Ashley and everything they do to make women feel seen, supported, and understood! My only critical feedback is on the ads — there are so so many, like at least 20% of the total episode run time is ads. I totally get that ads are needed to keep this content free, but dislike how they seamlessly flow from their conversation into an ad. I wish they had music or something to cleanly separate the ads from the content so they are easier to skip. There’s also only 5-6 regular advertisers so I don’t need to hear about Buffy sheets or Athletic Greens every week. SKIP

If you want dating advice from a 40 year old woman who acts like she’s 20 then this podcast is for you

I was an OG fan from the beginning and even turned people onto GGE. I loved how relatable it was for women in their 20s-30s that it truly felt like you were getting advise from an older sister. Unfortunately for the past year or so it seems like this podcast has evolved away from that. Not sure if these girls are trying to lean into being cali-influencer girls but the authenticity just doesn't seem there anymore. In between them talking about how much money they have, the girl friends they have, what an amazing life and how proud they are of what they built, its just too much gloating for me-especially when its EVERY EPISODE. I do love the majority of their guests but many times it seems like they have a good point but say it over and over again in different fonts for 15/20 minutes. The interview process can def be cleaned up and more direct. There also seems to be a lack of maturity and often times vibes of them being mean girls expressing their opinion without any regard to their audience or platform. Hopefully this podcast makes some changes bc it really was something I looked forward to weekly :/

I love listening to the intros and seeing into Ashley and Rayna’s lives. They make you realize they are just 2 normal girls who have the same struggles we all do 😅. They give great advice and provide insight on all topics that we as women encounter. Love this podcast and listen religiously!

How do you both talk for a living but never have anything of substance to say?? If you want to feel dumber after listening, this podcast is for you.

These women are delusional and entitled. Their podcast is literally all fake adds and laughing at one another… they’re the only ones laughing cause nothing is even remotely funny about them minus their style… which is almost worse than their podcast

1) Ashley is a terrible friend to Rayna in how she talks about her 2) they cant handle any type of constructive criticism 3) forget how to interview and instead it’s just Ashely talking about herself 4) Ashley absolutely 1000% cannot shut up about her boyfriend. We get it, you’re in a relationship, we couldn’t tell at all *eyeroll* - seriously, you aren’t in 8th grade. You don’t need to make your entire life revolve around your bf. If my friends did that, or i did that, we’d have a long discussion bc a man IS NOT your identity and that’s what it feels like. I used to really enjoy this show but it went down hill immediately when sPaRkLe EyEs came into the picture.there’s been a lot of problematic stuff recently (r-word, BRAGGING about getting out of multiple duis, etc). I hope Rayna has an exit plan because she has true talent and I’d rather head more from her if she ever branched out on her own. Oh, and outside the blow gel, vibes only is trash. Invest in a higher quality product and you’ll thank yourself later.

These girls are fun and funny to listen to, I love the chatty part of the show and the guests. I recommend this to a lot of women, of all ages, in my life. I think it is important to hear these women lifting women up on a regular basis. Yes. I did hear the one episode where there was an unacceptable “r” word, and I cringed. I don’t think that one instance is indicative of who GGE is. They have never claimed to be perfect, let them make a mistake.

I just read some a bunch of negative reviews and I just want to ask… are y’all ok??? There’s no need to be so mean and judgmental. The podcast has changed and evolved just as we change and evolve! Some episodes I skip and some are my favorites! I love the life updates and I feel fully invested in their lives and friendships. I would definitely recommend this podcast to girlies in their mid 20s and beyond. It’s an easy listen and comforting to have on.

I’d love to see as much passion in encouraging a guest not to use a derogatory term for the disabled as you show when talking about how rich you are and how amazing everything is in your lives… Just saying 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hosts used to be super relatable and now they’re far from it. Aside from the fact that the episodes contain a RIDICULOUS amount of ads, specifically for their own sex toy company it’s mostly just them rambling and laughing at themselves and their own inside jokes the average person wouldn’t find funny. It takes well over 30 mins for the podcast for “start” it feels repetitive and boring now when it does. The guests are also less interesting than they used to be. Also hate the fact that Ashley is just a mean girl bullying Rayna the whole time. It’s uncomfortable.

I can’t believe how awful this show has gotten. I used to use it for advice, motivation, and entertainment years ago. It’s unbearable to listen to now… finally unfollowing

I can’t decide which is more annoying - the podcast or the extended ads every 5 min

Man, I looked at the previous review I wrote years ago when I felt like they gave a voice to thirty something women navigating dating and child/free choices. Now the shows are awful it’s literally like an hour long ad

I was a listener from the beginning and loved it. But the show has changed, mostly because Ashley and Rayna have changed. I would not recommend this show if you want expert advice on anything or want to hear down to earth opinions/perspectives. If you love hearing about a 40 year old’s first boyfriend ever and how she degrades to her friend to her face, then this is the podcast for you!

It’s just dumb.

I guess the calling out of hateful language towards people with disabilities is just not a mainstream enough social issue for Ashley and Rayna to address publicly as it was not discussed in the most recent episode. This is extremely disappointing as l've admired your courage to address important social issues on your platform even though it's primarily about sex/dating. In 10 years when this issue is as mainstream as movements such as Black Lives Matter and lobt rights (EQUALLY important movements) then I guess you'll be on board. And if you don't think the protection of people with disabilities is as important and needed as these other movements then I suggest you educate yourselves on the historical and CONTINUED abuse and discrimination this community has faced in this country. This population often times cannot speak loudly enough for the masses to hear. Which is why what is said on large platforms like yours actually does matter. I understand your guest may not have understood what she was saying was "all that bad." But it is, and you've been told this and you've continued to ignore it. I don't even fully blame you and this podcast, as unfortunately this is how the majority of society still views this issue; as not that important. But if you're not willing to listen to the countless people who have pointed out your mistakes on last week's episode, then I'm not willing to listen to the show any longer. Don't get it twisted, I'm very aware you don't care about one random listener who has decided to no longer listen. Simply removing the word from last week's episode is not enough. Publicly apologizing and condemning this type of carelessness is what is truly needed in a situation like this. Words reflect thoughts and ideas. Thoughts and ideas dictate actions. And actions can either cause harm or help other people.
