B
Ask, tell, Confess.
A
Hello friends. Hello places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away and I'll be okay. Well, I'm not big. Oh, social crisis. Hello, guys. How are you? I flared my knot. Chach. You got one in the shoot, buddy. Hey, you were mad at me earlier. Yeah, you got one in the shoot, honey. You got one.
B
He said you were fluffy on me. I'm fluffing on you.
A
All right, who's ready to kick it off?
B
Okay, I got one. This is from Ari. It's a confession and an ask. Me and my soon to be husband, we went separated before committing at the end of last year. I may or may not have seen an ex in that time, but I am now pregnant. I've only let my man come close to the possibility. The timing is so scary, but I'm positive it's my now fiance is just a scary thought. How do you tell your future husband when you weren't together, you were with someone else around conception. That's rough. That's not something I would ever have to sit them down. Yeah, I feel like you're first off, you need to do that now. Yeah, let's not wait till any closer. That's rough.
A
You're going to have to give a comment. I don't have anything nice to say, so I'm not going to say anything at all. And I'm not judging. I just feel like when it comes to babies and like being pregnant, you don't ever lead somebody on because that is one, it's life changing to be able to have a baby.
B
Yes.
A
And two, to make somebody believe that a child is not theirs, I think is probably one of the scummiest things you could do to somebody. So if she's really asking for help, it's a she, right?
B
Yes.
A
Okay, so if she's really asking for help, then you need to come clean and be honest now.
B
Now, like, do not wait another second.
A
I mean, it's still going to break his heart. Whoever the daddy isn't, it's still going to break his heart.
B
But I would, I would sit him down, talk to him and then definitely get a paternity test.
A
Yeah, sure. And you never know, it could be his, but at least the truth is out and you don't want that to.
B
Happen later on you're going to have.
A
That guilt with you. I just wish women like, what if men did that to women? Like, you know, like in a, just a fake world, what if men could have children and we're leading women on to believe that babies were theirs? Like that's just fucked up. And I'm, listen, I'm girl power all the way. But that is just a fucked up.
B
Situation with all this new like DNA testing and stuff. The amount of families I've personally witness be ripped apart because of it. And it's like, yeah, I mean, you.
A
Don'T want that baby being born into chaos too. You're just literally passing around generational trauma to your child when you could break it before they're even born.
B
Well, also like health problems like later on down the line he could think, you know, like, I'm fine and healthy if this guy's healthy, but it's not really his dad. So like, you know. Yep, exactly.
A
That's so like the parents that wait until kids get DNA tests on like my ancest ancestry and they find out.
B
That the parents to a friend of mine, she found out that her two older sisters are her mom and dad's and apparently the mom cheated later on. So she's the baby of the family. Yeah, not even. She's not. I wasn't her dad and she didn't find out Till we were in our late 20s.
A
So wrong. My dad didn't think I was his. He made me do Ancestry dot com. He's the one who made me get on it. No, Bill Carter came to Nashville and made me get on and made me do a DNA test thing with him.
B
Not know this.
A
Yes.
B
I did not know this.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. I didn't tell you guys, but that's.
B
When he found out, like, like all his history too, Right? Okay.
A
So he made me. And I think he made my little sister do it too. I'm not positive, but he for sure made me do it. Yeah.
B
How can you deny that you are literally your father?
A
Oh, I know.
B
You and your mom, like, when I was finally able to, like, you know, spend time with you and your mom together and then you and your dad together. It's crazy to me how DNA actually works. There are things. Because it's like, you don't spend a lot of time. Like, you're not super close. Close with your parents at the time. And, like, they are, you know, coming into your life, and you're like, you haven't been in your mom's life. Yeah. And you do things that are so.
A
Similar, just like her. Yeah.
B
It's crazy. No.
A
DNA is insane. That's why I can't wait till we have a baby, so I can just watch a little me running around.
B
Oh. Oh, yeah, you. It's like looking in a mirror. Sometimes Olivia says stuff and I'm like. It's so infuriating. You guys are literally.
A
Oh, you and Liv are twins.
B
Yes. A thousand percent. She is me. So funny.
A
Yeah.
B
Oh, the things. She's loki. Me too.
A
Yeah.
B
Swear these two get together and she's like, tell it to the judge sister so much. She's. She's like, making that age turn. Right now we're going from eight to nine, and that's such a monumental time. Eight to nine is like, she's no longer a child. And she's, like, becoming not a teenager by any means. Between tween and we are talking about boys and, you know, all those kind of things, and it makes me.
A
Oh, just wait.
B
No, I get the prequel of my child's life through you.
A
When they hit 13, they become the demonic devils. And they don't come back. No, they don't come back ever.
B
They're never cute and little ever again.
A
No, it's. I. I think the saddest thing I've ever realized with Raisin Bailey was. She was the. I mean, Bailey's always been A little sassy trooper, you know? Like, that's just been her personality from the get. But she was so sweet and just so loving. And then 13 comes around, and you're like, who the are you, Hormones? Oh, my. She's getting better now that she's 17. I feel like 13 to 17 is the most brutal years. And then she's gonna go away to college, so I'm just like, you know what? Go. Me and Tasha will be there. We're going to the frat parties. Can't wait. You know, like, hey, Haley, too. Let's go. Oh, we're going. I already told Jay. I'm like, I'm gonna be Stifler's mom. Okay, don't play. I'm gonna be the White Claws. I'm ready. We're gone.
B
Bringing the White Claws.
A
I got them. Let's go. I'm so ready.
B
Lord.
A

This one says, I once worked at a Taco Bell and I always get to my shift a little earlier to do my hair and whatnot. And I thought I was alone. Turns out that there was a woman in there as well. I startled by the tapping of a credit card on the back of the toilet seat. Turns out she was doing coke in the bathroom because my boss at the time found residue. Of all places you choose to do coke on a dirty toilet seat. That's the most blown up bathroom in fast food. Saying you choose the Taco Bell toilet to do early in the morning. Get at well, what if she did night shift?
A
I don't know how people do cocaine and function. That's the crazy thing. I've. I've snorted cocaine off plenty of bathroom stalls, so I can't be a hater with that. I've even crushed up. I've even crushed up. Who knows? I've even crushed up Lora Tabs and snorted them off of the back of toilets in, like, clubs. Okay, so. I know, I know. Trust me. Why do you think I'm such a germaphobe now? I saw a video of me the other day rubbing some Vegas performers. Like, you know how they have performers on, like, downtown? I'm, like, rubbing this guy's stomach and then I kiss his cheek. And I was like. I was like, how did I do that? Like, who are you? Like, I would never. Now.
B
God, she doesn't even shake people's hands.
A
My problem is, is how do people do cocaine and then want to funk and function? I can't do it. Cocaine just without alcohol makes me want to sit in a corner and rock back and forth and shit my pants. It doesn't feel good. Have you ever done cocaine?
B
No.
A
Hey, Mimi. Have you? Yes. No. Maybe so.
B
No.
A
No. Yeah, I've done it and it's fucking terrible. I don't like it. Cocaine's fucking gross. I can't do it. And I don't know how people do it unless I'm completely shit face. Then I can take a bumper because.
B
I was going to feel like that. That's a different feeling. Yeah, like bump a roof ski.
A
Yeah, yeah, but I'm serious. Like, anybody who's sober doing cocaine, like, bro, just take a diet pill. You might feel better.
B
I don't know.
A
Cocaine, just the drain. It burns your nose, it makes your teeth numb. Like, no, thank you.
B
Doesn't sound like a fun time.
A
Yeah. And then people gotta use that bathroom, too. God, that's a little kid.
B
Get over.
A
I will not touch anything in a public bathroom. I will hover over the toilet. Toilet. I won't do it at all. What is happening over there?
B
Mom brain. She goes, imagine a little kid just walking on. I was like, yeah, yeah.
A
That's what you have to think.
B
Well, I will say, you guys, I used to be a big, like, last stall user because the stalls were bigger and I was bigger, you know?
A
Okay. Different has less germs.
B
Well, yes, I did learn that on Tyra Banks one time. Yeah. Did you guys see that? Yeah, so. But I saw an EMT one time, like, make a tick tock that says, I've found more dead people in a handicap stall of anything. Because that's where they go to do drugs. Because it has the child thing. Nope. I never changed my child on one of those ever. I would never in a million years put my child on one of those things. They said that's where they find the most amount of drugs. And the most amount of OD'd people. Well, that and, like, you remember when it was talking about the, like, the giant things of toilet paper they would clean off. They would clean off their needles in it.
A
Yeah. So that's disgusting. I'm never gonna use a public restroom.
B
No.
A
Ever again.
B
No. No one talks about losing weight in the things you can do. I can sit in, like, booths. Really good at restaurants now. I can use stalls in bathrooms comfortably. It's crazy the amount of things you get to do. Like when you make a big body transformation.
A
Yeah. That's how I'm discovering with my husband. He's loving it. He's little skinny roll.
B
Every time I see him.
A
Yeah.
B
The other day when he came running out, I was like, he makes me look huge.
A
Not me realizing I've been settling for uncomfortable bras and underwear my whole life. Skims has changed that. Zero digging, zero rolling. Feels like a second skin. I literally forget I'm wearing it. If you're tired of choosing between cute and comfy, this is your sign. Let's be real. I used to hate bras and underwear. Bras dug in, straps slid down. Underwear rolled or showed through my clothes. I didn't realize how uncomfortable I was until I tried so much Skims. The fits Everybody T shirt bra changed the game for me. It's soft, seamless, gives the perfect lift, and I literally forget I'm wearing it. No digging, no adjusting. It just fits. And the fits everybody thong obsessed. It's invisible under everything, stays in place, and feels like you're wearing nothing. I reach for skims because it's the one brand that's most comfy and cute. It solved problems I didn't even realize could be fixed. And yes, I'd 1000% recommend it to anybody. You guys already know I'm a skims girl for life.

Jewel Baby has a question for Bunny. How was your BBL recovery experience? Any pain or discomfort? I'm also a skinny girl like you. I'm not skinny baby. I'm 163 pounds right now. So I was wondering where they got the fat to make your booty big. Lol. I got my boobs done 2 years ago which wasn't too bad. Contemplating a BBL. I was wondering your experience because I'm scared and it will be painful. Well, hold on. When I got my boobs done, I went out to dinner right afterwards. Like that's how minimal of a surgery it was. When I got so I didn't get a full on bbl. I got fat transfer to the top of my ass so I didn't get like the full bbl. I've always had a big ass but it started to like kind of flatten out on top. So they took it from my my lower back actually and my stomach area. And it was the worst thing I've ever gone through in my life. It took probably about six months to heal. Six months to a year to heal. And I almost passed out because I had so much fluid leaking out of me. I woke up out of that surgery with the highest blood pressure I've ever had. My heart rate was in like the 200s. I remember looking at my doctor and asking him if I was gonna die because it was so bad. My dad came to visit me a couple weeks after I had the surgery and I tried to go eat dinner with him and I just had fluid just pouring out of me to the the point where I thought I was gonna faint. It's really uncomfortable. It's not. It's actually a really scary surgery to have. You can actually die from having a BBL. And my high school weight was 140 pounds. I've always been like a thicker girl. And I appreciate you saying I'm skinny. Everybody's body holds weight differently, but I've always been like a thicker girl. And since having my bbl, it is so hard to keep weight off. I literally have to lift weights four to five times a week. I. I eat so strict and so clean. Granted, yes, I'll have cheat meals here and there, but the majority of the time I eat really, really healthy. And I'm still £160. Granted, a lot of it's muscle now because of how much I work out, but my normal range is about 155 to 160. And it's so hard. Like, your body completely changes. It changes the whole chemistry of your body. Whereas before I was kind of like lanky and like barely had any hips on me, now I have childbearing hips. Like, I literally am so against bbls and I don't think anybody should get them well.
B
And that fat is already going away. Like, the girls who got the BBLS are now getting the lipo to remove the fat that they put in those places. That is a literal fad surgery.
A
Yeah, it is. And I know everybody's like, well, you got it done. And I'm like, absolutely. And that's why I can sit here and tell you, do not get a BBL. It is not worth it. 1. It makes your. Thankfully, my Dr. Doc Vegas shout out. Dr. Corsani in Vegas did such a phenomenal job on my body. Like when I tell you he did so good. But a lot of girls are very unfortunate and it disproportions their body. It doesn't look good. A lot of the time the girls asses don't match their legs.
B
They look like ants.
A
Yeah. They're shaped like wisdom teeth. Like, it's really bad. Yeah, that's what they call it. They say that they're shaped like teeth never hurt them. Yeah. And I'm not saying that to clown them, but that's what they say.
B
Yeah, I've never heard that. I heard the ant because Well, I, I only say ant because that was like a trend at one point. Like people were literally asking for their bodies to look like that.
A
So it's so bad. And I. I've seen another thing on Tick Tock where people are talking about BBL smells. My ass has never smelled. Ever. I don't know. I don't know if it's because the girls are getting their asses too big and they just can't keep up with it or like if it just smells because it is so big. But I've never had that problem. So that's the only thing I can agree on with. Like getting a BBL is like, if as long as you don't get too crazy, you don't have that problem. But yeah, definitely. I don't think it's worth it. I think it's a fat. I think natural bodies are so beautiful. That's why I had my implants removed. And I don't know, it's. I. We, as women, we always want what we don't have. And I get that. I understand that. But I promise you, and I preach this all the time. No, what you want in your 20s is not what you are going to want when you're 45. I promise you that. Packages by Expedia. You were made to be rechargeable. We were made to package flights, hotels.
B
And hammocks for less.
A
Expedia. Made to travel. So just if you're gonna get it done, research the doctor very well. Look at what his patients look like six months to a year after they get it done.
B
Yeah. You know, I was gonna say also see if you can do it in another way. Like, if you're wanting a bigger butt, you can work out bigger butt.
A
Like, absolutely.
B
You see, so many girls are like, this is what I started with versus this is what I have now. And that's more controlled, you know, like you were able to add muscle in places or lose in places. Like there are other options.
A
And absolutely at. Under no circumstances get shots in your ass. Do not do this. You can get. They have this thing where you can get shots in your ass now instead of, instead of doing a BBL or fat transfer. And these girls are getting like lumpy asses. And like, it's just so bad because filler, filler literally migrates. You don't know where that's going. There's blood vessels back there. Like, you just, you guys just have to be really, really careful. And. Yeah. So just know that if you do get a BBL, you will have an extra £20 on you, no matter what. It doesn't matter. And there's so many. Like, I am so fortunate because I've only had to have one fat transfer done and one high def vaser lipo. And I did this in 2015, so, I mean, 10 years ago I did this, and I've been able to maintain it. Most women have to do multiple surgeries because they do not have the. The, you know, they don't. They don't work out, they don't eat right. They think because they're skinny right now and like, the fat got taken out that they can get another one. And the more lipo you get done to your stomach, the more it jacks it up. Like, listen, I'm against plastic surgery even though I have had everything done. That is why I'm.
B
You're against. I was gonna say you're against it because you have a personal experience. Yeah. That's a completely different outlook than most people just never having it done and feeling some type of way about it.
A
Yeah, absolutely. So I. I was probably not what you wanted to hear, but if you are going to get any body work done, go to Doc Vegas in Las Vegas. Dr. Corsandi. He's hot. And he's just the sweetest soul ever.
B
So sweet.
A
You will love him, good human man. Like, just love him to death.
B
So, yeah, agree.
A
