Description

In this hilarious and brutally honest episode of The Truth Hurts Show, Brian and Makan sit down with the sharp and unfiltered Drea Renee to unpack the highs and horrific lows of modern dating in Los Angeles. From her meticulous FaceTime vetting system to the date that ended in a mugshot reveal (yes, really), Drea shares raw dating stories that will have you laughing, cringing, and rethinking your Hinge strategy.

They explore dating apps, ghosting etiquette, red flag checklists, and why “too perfect” might be the biggest warning sign of all. Drea also gives a peak behind the curtain of her podcast “Hey Babe, Can We Talk?” and opens up about what it really takes to navigate love with trauma, emotional intelligence, and authenticity.

This episode is a MUST for anyone who’s ever swiped right and lived to regret it.
