SJ and Kay kick off 2026 by diving headfirst into the steamy world of hockey romance, fresh off SJ's binge of HBO's Heated Rivalry - the Critics' Choice-nominated adaptation of Rachel Reid's queer M/M powerhouse. Honorary Hockey Mom Kay gives a hockey crash course (complete with a brutal quiz on shifts, sticks, and glove-dropping consent), SJ talks beautifully cast leads like Connor Sherry and Hudson Williams, and both do real-talk on why the show's rosy romance clashes with hockey's zero-out NHL reality. From heart-melting on-ice proposals to critiques of locker-room homophobia (shoutout to trailblazer Brock McGillis), the gals talk why straight women love gay sports smut, recommend must-reads like Mile High by Liz Tomforde and The Deal by Elle Kennedy, and ponder hotter adaptations for curvy heroines, throuples, and beyond-hockey vibes (hello, pickleball and rowing?). Plus, a nod to why all sports are low-key homoerotic. Grab your "I Hope Both Teams Have Fun" sweatshirt for 45 minutes of cognitively offloading in a terrible world.

Join us as we ring in 2026 with a fierce boycott on body-shaming resolutions, trading gym guilt for feel-good intentions like starting a romance-smut book club, embarking on quirky micro-adventures in our own city, and treating ourselves to fancy coffees and airport snacks without apology. We play a Family Feud-style game guessing America's top resolutions which Kay was shockingly bad at, dish on branching into new literary genres, and wrap up holiday drama with a takedown of shame-y Elf on the Shelf parenting and a fact-checked tale of sneaky separate-bed sleepovers. It's all about fun, fabulous goals that celebrate joy over judgment. Grab your little treats, light your possibly-overpriced candles, and hit play for a positive start to the year!

In the chaotic glow of 2025's close, we reflect on pop culture that absolutely delivered in a year that aged us a decade: uncomfortable brotherly vibes in The White Lotus, steamy hockey romance in Heated Rivalry, and the ultimate female friendship glow-up in Wicked (shoutout to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo's interlaced fingers). We talk 2025 book news like Onyx Storm and Rebecca Yarros's boundary-holding brilliance, debate fantasy's sneaky progressivism amid self-pub smuts and tropes galore. We bop to Taylor Swift's joyful era, Sabrina Carpenter's energy, and rising pop girlie Adela. We mostly keep it light with music recs for millennial moms, book hauls from Ali Hazelwood to Emily Henry, and a dystopian Love Island twist in The Compound. But...we do dip into the depressing (Epstein files, weird "machine-gun lips" mentions, and disturbing JD Vance AAO3 fanfic) with a side of Satanic '80s history. Wrapping with wishlist hilarity: athletic heroines, Issa Rae for prez, elderly Love Is Blind sex ed, and bipartisan blowjob scandals. It's silly, smutty, supportive, and the perfect cognitive offload for good girls surviving the void, cheers to 2026!

In this festive installment of the Good Girls podcast, we dive into the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future through the lens of holiday hookups, awkward family stays, and libido-killing traditions. From thrill-seeking separate bedrooms at the in-laws to basement couches stained by teenage regrets, we talk emotionally unavailable exes, garlic-fueled redemption arcs, and the unreciprocated eagerness of youth. Fast-forward to present-day elf-on-the-shelf depravity ideas and future visions of nursing home tramp eras, all while sipping Irish coffee and pondering why Christmas stress tanks the sex drive. Perfect for anyone navigating in-law privacy (or lack thereof) this holiday season! Grab your headphones and laugh through the tinsel.

In a delightfully raunchy holiday episode of the Good Girls podcast, we dive into Christmas romance books, ranging from the delightfully cozy to the bizarre and questionable yet somehow also sexy. We sacrificed our sanity a little to read it all, ranging from the unsanitized candy cane insertion courtesy of a creepy mall Santa in Stuffed with Cole to the beastly bestiality vibes of Sir Krampus. We kick things off with somewhat horrifying Smutmas "would you rather" dilemmas (paddled by a horny Krampus or violated by a textured peppermint stick?). We choose our worst three and best three. We wrap things up with awards for the most audacious holiday props and candid chats on breeding kinks, reverse harems, and plus-size representation.

In this slightly unhinged episode, SJ and Kay dig into sex drive and why it’s a somewhat silly, misunderstood concept. They walk through more serious theories like the ABC model (not the Jackson 5), the motivation–incentive framework, and, of course, Emily Nagoski’s accelerators and brakes...but with some major detours into less scientific territory, including Brie from Desperate Housewives and Kay’s obsession with the Unwrap Me Christmas novella by Natalia Lourose. They challenge the idea that men are constantly thinking about sex, poke holes in evolutionary narratives that try to box desire by gender, and explore why so many women hit their sexual stride in their late 20s to 40s. The conversation veers into Santa smut, the cautionary tale of using a Christmas ornament as a DIY sex toy (please do not), and why masturbation might actually be a better indicator of libido than partnered sex. With their signature mix of humor, research, and chaos, the hosts may or may not leave you with a better understanding of sex drive. ..Only guarantee from listening is that you won't look a nutcracker ornament the same way again. Cheers!

We talk about women's porn preferences and champion that it's totally fine if porn's not your vibe. We debate on quick-hit horniness vs. slow-burn romance reads, and zero in on why mainstream porn often flops. Think Pornhub's assault of unrealistically enormous assets, black-and-orange overload, and demoralizing tropes like teary face shots and "breeding" boss fantasies that prioritize peenies over desire. Backed by 2024 stats that nearly 40% of users are women with a higher interest in lesbian scenes for their female-pleasure focus, we call out the site's gateway traps: bombastic thumbnails, floodlit aesthetics, and ads with peeny panic. But fear not, fellow seekers, we talk on the hotter sites tailored for us, from Bellesea's lingerie-lush lesbian and couple clips to Tushy's plot-driven foreplay, and Make Love Not Porn's authentic chemistry. We also talk on the why books are so great in this area, with us being able to create the scene in our heads instead of having less-than-great-visuals jammed at us. With a lot of honesty, this episode's a permission slip to curate your own climax— or opt out entirely. (NSFW alert: Explicit rants and a critique of Pornhub's main page videos.)

We take a nostalgic dive and revisit our gateway smut, from early crushes on Twilight's Edward to Harry Potter's fanfic-fueled Draco and Disney's anthropomorphic foxes. We debate book-to-movie fails, our shadow daddy love origins like Han Solo and Rhett Butler, and the allure of fairy tale retellings. Minotaur romantasies get some side-eye, though we will hold off fully knocking it until Kay tries it...coming for you, Morning Glory Milking Farm. Is K-Pop demon hunters the next gen's entry to fantasy romance? We wrap with a mid-read roast of Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Silver Flames...SJ has still not come around to Nesta but Kay remains a fan.
