Gloria and Metal Blade Records founder & CEO Brian Slagel catches us up on Metallica’s Sphere residency, the A’s stadium built progress, Heavy Metal Museum and his busy calendar. Brian gets confused about the band Warning performance at the Sphere as a guest of Carín León [a Mexican singer-songwriter] on September 4th 2026… and YES we were correct they were there and it was AMAZING! Then we get deep into red flags: overhyped bands, gut instincts, bad influences, and how being late is a red flag for most people. Brian tells us how a text from Lars Ulrich tipped him off about Metallica at the Sphere way before anyone knew. We also talk the VMAs, the Grammys, and a possible Slipknot backlash. Grab a snack, put your feet up, and download now. This is one happy, rambling catch-up with a friend.

Ep 85 | Gloria and hypnotherapist Kimberly Friedmutter get into the fascinating and hilarious ways our subconscious communicates through body language, intuition, discomfort, attraction, and self-protection. They discuss the signs that can show up in dating, friendships, family relationships, and work, including body language, one-word replies, strange feelings you cannot quite explain, and the instinct to get out of a situation. But the conversation goes deeper: sometimes we create or exaggerate a red flag because we already want permission to leave. Sometimes the same behavior can be a red flag, green flag, or no flag depending on the person and the context. They also explore manipulation, abuse, outside perspective, and why protecting your time becomes more valuable with age. It is candid girlfriend talk with real relationship insight, funny stories, and plenty to think about. Download this episode and share it with your favorite girlfriend.

Poker face? Not here. Gabbing with Girlfriends Episode 84 features Carey Pickus, poker player, friend, and starter of a women's poker group, on what the game taught her about life: read people, take smart risks, and know when to fold. Hear why the guy in sunglasses and a hoodie at the casino makes her curious, how a 4 AM Las Vegas final table played out, and why she's happier playing fewer tournaments these days. Then the mood shifts as Carey shares her experience parenting a son who struggled with mental health, what she learned about control and acceptance, and how she keeps finding joy after his passing. Rounding it out is a warm chat about making new friends in midlife.

Ever wonder why we spot red flags in everyone else's relationships but somehow miss our own? On this episode of Gabbing with Girlfriends, host Gloria sits down with Christine Chiappetta for an unfiltered conversation about relationship red flags, trusting your gut, and the moment you finally say "enough is enough." Christine opens up about a narcissistic marriage, a wild and emotional adoption journey, and years of ignoring signs she now sees crystal clear in hindsight. They dig into codependency, Catholic guilt, gaslighting, and co-parenting with a difficult ex. They talk about intuition, boundaries, family dynamics, and the specific moment it finally clicked that things needed to change. This episode is honest and a bit of a wake-up call for anyone who tends to overthink their own gut feelings.

Grab your coffee and join Gloria and Gabi for another very honest, very relatable conversation on Gabbing with Girlfriends Podcast.

You know that feeling when someone suddenly gets really nice to you and you immediately think, “Okay… what do you want?” Yeah. That.

Gloria and Gabi Hughes are talking about red flags - the obvious ones, the sneaky ones, and the ones we somehow convince ourselves aren’t really a big deal. From dating and friendships to family drama and office politics, red flags can show up pretty much anywhere.

They talk about gut instinct, women’s intuition, gossip, people-pleasing, and why we sometimes see the warning signs perfectly clearly but still choose to ignore them.

And then there’s the ultimate red flag: the kind of excessive ass-kissing that makes you wonder what’s coming next.
