About this episode

Ask, Tell, Confess is back and this week we’re getting into the red flags y’all saw, ignored, and somehow still said, “Yeah, but he’s hot.” Bunnie, Meme, and Hailee kick things off with a wild L. A. cop bar story, some Del Taco drive-thru scheming, and why a pretty face will have you out here making decisions you know d*mn well you shouldn’t be making. Then the gang gets into your confessions, and baby… some of y’all really put up with some sh*t. We’re talking mattress-on-the-floor men, crusty yellow pillows, secret girlfriends, cheating boyfriends, validation smashes, and dating app disasters with enough red flags to fill a whole parade. At some point, we gotta stop calling it “potential” and call it what it is. If the red flags are waving, believe them. Raise your standards, trust your gut, and stop letting somebody being fine make you lose all common sense. Want to be part of the next Ask, Tell, Confess?
