Girls on Guys is a dating and relationship horror stories podcast hosted by comedians Nina Tarr and Liam Cullagh. Each episode features a different broad aka female guest, who does their best to steer Liam away from the embarrassing mistakes he (and most men) make by sharing their own strange encounters with the male species.
In this week’s episode, comedian Christina Catherine Martinez joins the show to discuss long distance relationships. Where you can find emotionally available people. How to know when you’re over-reacting. The Madonna–whore complex and it’s follies. And having a positive attitude toward menstruation butttttt there’s DEFINITELY a line.
