Red flag, green flag, or beige flag?

This week, Sierra and Michael-Thomas discuss the pettiest red flags imaginable—from people who only communicate through Snapchat to workplaces that insist "we're a family here." They also explore friendship green flags, authenticity, long-term relationships, and the small habits that make us question everything.

It's a funny, lighthearted conversation about the quirks, preferences, and behaviors we all secretly judge.
