Petition for Alejandra to get some happy funny stories next time shes on lol she seems stressed
I agree; the last one I listen to again is the paranormal one 😂😂
Ehhhh life’s hard. Alejandra needs to toughen up, buttercup.
@@LLynneM??
@@LLynneM you seem lovely 🙄
@@LLynneM lol what a staggering lack of human empathy. You really typed out that response and felt ok hitting send? Big yikes.
With the open relationship one, he doesnt respect her or her sexuality. Hes worried shes going to leave him for another man because he believes thats real and a relationship with a woman isnt real. Hes not threatened by her sleeping with women because 1) hes fetishizing her and 2) he doesnt believe her attraction to woman is anything but physical. What a disgusting tool.
THIS. RIGHT HERE!!!
Also he was expecting for her to not enjoy the open relationship because “there’s no way someone else who want her since she wasn’t satisfying his needs.”
I think he's the type to also believe that men and women can't be friends bc he doesn't seem to even like women, he just likes what they provide for him, I just know he's not interested in his wife's hobbies either.
YUUUUP
He clearly thinks it’s better to think of her with a woman, probably because he thinks it’s hot. But “that’s MY woman! No man can touch MY PROPERTY!” type of mentality.
@@paninilist4678agreed. “She gave me all she could offer me” saying she was basically used up because she probably felt fine in the relationship without having constant sex. But he only wanted sex from her and tbh probably doesn’t even love her. Probably doesn’t even like her.
I’m a bisexual woman. The things that the husband in story 3 is saying, I’ve heard those many times before from men and it stems from the fact that they don’t think lesbian relationships/sex is meaningful. He only cares about her having sex when it’s with a man because he’s jealous, and I’d bet that he probably thinks her dating women is just something he can jerk off to at night. Disgusting
Yeah and they fetishize it, so they dont feel threatened by it which is very condescending and naive imo
Yeah I’m lesbian and I’ve had men think that I’m like someone to watch or think they can join as they think it’s hot when two women hook up but it’s not hot when your gf hooks up with a man
Not to mention the accusations of lying… if I had a nickel for every time a bisexual person was accused of some type of deception, I could solve world hunger. The biphobia was soooooo loud from that guy.
@@TheAdrift thissss. Everything said in this thread is so true and I’ve experienced it all before so many times by the time I was only 20
This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, he probably just wants a threesome but doesn’t want to initiate it, and hoped she’d find a girl. And when it didn’t work out, he tries to close the relationship because he got jealous, boo fucking hoo dude
As a Brazilian, I’d be PISSED if someone tried to change my family’s Feijoada recipe!
Feijoada feeds not only our stomach, but our hearts. It’s such a traditional meal, that’s just one of those things that brings us home with every bite 🫶🏼
(And if they are all in Brazil - even more disrespectful to the Mom’s family! Should know better)
and the son needs to get a reality check.
Also we usually do eat on Saturday because is a really heavy dish, I can't eat two days in a roll
It sounds like Wendy might not have even been Brazilian which is worse. She honestly sounds like one of those people with a White main character complex
If someone that married into the family dare to change my gramma feijoada, they would be unalived for the rest of the family
feijoada is SO HEAVY!!!! and there's no reason to be eating it two days in a row AT ALL. its a special meal. she was sooooo out of line and doesnt sound brazilian. so definitely very much wrong, you dont mess with someone like that 😭
Portuguese here and I share the sentiment.
Plus there are so many ways to bond with ppl and, as a chef you could give an input in soooo many things to make it even better without changing anything or “cancelling” someone’s identity and/or tradition.
Era um par de estalos e entrava juizo bem rápido naquela cabeça.
“Damn who killed him???”
Alejandra busting out laughing WAS ME 😅😅😅
"dayum bro, who killed him?" 🤣
Damn das crazy bruh who murked him tho
the story about the open marriage is like classic reddit. there are THOUSANDS of stories just like that where the man pressures the wife into an open marriage and then is mad when the wife is happy with someone else. men never learn. those stories are so satisfying. i'm surprised you haven't read one of these type of stories before haha.
10000%
They need to do a “Sooooo satisfying” episode
Men are all about them until we the woman get pleased with a better one 🍆
Just clicked on the video, and am SO EXCITED to hear this man learn through experience 🥴😂
This! Like a healthy, mature way to have handled these situations would be communication and compromise, but instead these guys wanna use more sex to solve everything. And then they get mad when they realize their wife is getting it as good (or often better) than they are.
Alejandra always makes me feel like a petty worm with her level headed reasonable comments and takes HAHAHAHA.
She’s sitting here giving her amazing grown up advice as I’m lighting the torches and sharpening the pitchforks
Lmaooooo
She makes me feel seen 😅
Please make the Devil’s Advocate episode a trio one. Both Lauren and Alejandra plays devils advocate
Omg yesss
Yes, this x1000
It could be a fun game, no matter how horrible the title sounds, they have to play the devil's advocate and defend the person, then they can tear them apart in the reaction part.
Open relationship story- “she had given all that she had to offer” YIKES. sounds like they should just divorce
37:37 I had the joy of watching a friend in high school realize she was a lesbian. She said “Why are there so many pretty girls?! I’m straight but the least attractive girl in the room is always prettier than the most attractive guy.” And she stopped, thought about what she just said, sat in silence for about 30 seconds before saying “I think I might like girls” 😂😂😂
Omg I loved when Alejandra said “if you choose violence don’t be surprised when violence chooses you” soooo true!!!!
husbands/partners who beg for an open relationship and then when the other gets more tail than them, they get mad… ENDLESSLY love these stories. Slay queen
Huge agree as a child of divorced parents: sometimes divorce is the best thing for the situation! Sure it's sad, but it can be an enormous blessing in the long run.
also huge agree as a child who wished their parents divorced lol! kids notice unhappy parents and see how much they don't like eachother. i hate parents thinking kids will be better off with both parents in the house.
I agree I was a child of divorce but my parents got remarried again and let me tell you it was hell for me especially since I was the only kid left at home. Needless to say I have trauma
I’m gonna push back on this idea a little :/
My best friend’s parents got divorce amicably when he was 5 and he still resents them to this day (he’s 30) about it, always saying “why couldn’t they stayed together for me?” I get that some kids would rather have their parents divorced than fighting all the time, but it’s not a rule (nor is it a rule that you should stay married for the kids). It’s more of a complicated issue without solution, I would say
@@mohamedaminehadji6415 I had the same situation though at that age and I can reflect and see that I’m very lucky that they divorced. I even ended up with two new amazing parental figures in my life. If sucked to live out of a suitcase essentially. But I am very glad my parents didn’t try to stay together because I would have grown up with an example of toxicity as “love” rather than understanding that we must fight for ourselves and the things we really deserve in a relationship. I hope your friend is able to kind of reframe his thoughts as such.
Child of divorce here! While I think divorce was definitely the best option, it was a very painful and destructive process for both my brother and I. I think it's great when divorce benefits people, but I think it's really important to be considerate of those who have been harmed by it. Additionally, for many people, the harmful family dynamics don't stop with divorce.
as a Brazilian listener i would never expect a story where Morgan and Alejandra try to pronounce "feijoada"
hehe and of course I butchered it
Right???? Hahaha
Right? It was a jumpscare for real lol
Eu tive que escutar de novo pra entender que era feijoada KKKKKKKKK
Né!? 😂
"I'm not saying he deserved it. All I'm saying is God's timing is always right" HA! Alejandra, you're an angel. No shame in saying what everyone was thinking.
Men love an open relationship until they get possessive of their partner because their partner finds someone who treats them like a person 🙄
i would loveeee if you guys did another scary story episode, since it’s been a while. like creepyencounters or letsnotmeet, etc. ik you usually do them around halloween but i just love them lol
I mean it’s about halfway to Halloween hehe
It's Halloween all year for me I'm always up for something spooky
@@user-lr7dk7mt2w literally me
OP of the first story: It is NOT respecting someones choices/feelings when you treat them differently because of it.... I am sooo glad glad with the first comment that Morgan pointed out from Reddit, that is what I immediately felt as well!
Yes! Like ok if OP also chose to have NO ONE meet the baby it would be fine but they are just being petty to the sister in law and brother. The SIL wanting to not have people around her newborn at first is completely valid
THIS 100%
It's super petty. And still well within her rights lol SIL will be just fine.
We don’t hate the guest episodes simply because they are guests, it’s because for 90% of the guests your too scared to voice your own opinion, making it boring, especially when the guest says an unhinged and horrible take and you don’t want to go against them. That’s why we like Drew, her sister and Fannita because you were comfortable enough to voice your opinion even if it’s different from theirs.
Yeah I was really surprised that she took it like we HATED so much of guest eps. I loved them all until those two episodes came out and she just went silent with her opinions and that cult episode.. those guests really could hurt some religious community with them calling everything cultish. You don't vibe with them then you shouldn't do the episodes with them. No one forces them do the collaboration.
THIS. She didn't read the comments and made assumptions on why we don't like those episodes and that's kinda upsetting. Specifically the episode with the nonbinary person, she continuously agreed with them and some of those takes were AWFUL
i think the shared sentiment in the comments could be boiled down to rooting for her to stand her ground. i always value morgan’s thoughts so i’d love to hear them! i enjoy when differing opinions pop up, and with the diverse list of guests it’d be interesting to hear both opinions. especially considering how layered some of the stories are. that being said, sometimes it’s difficult to disagree with people you get along with but don’t know well. morgan likely wants maintain relationships with her guests, and sometimes at early stages of friendship it can be difficult to disagree on certain things publicly.
though, sometimes morgan switches so fast it doesn’t really make sense. if she changes her opinion before the guest has explained their opinion on the different parts of the story. i’d love to see morgan + guests dig into their respective views. friendly debate!
Agreed. I’m I noticing how much her “normal” guest either don’t even ask her opinion after giving theirs. Or how Morgan kinda just agrees and doesn’t really give her true initial reaction. The very first episode I watched was the one with drew and it’s just such a different tone with other guests.
i think Chris Klemens and Spencer were good guests too
For story 3, I also have a weird vibe that he wanted the open relationship for a kinky/sexual purpose. The length he went on about his gf being bisexual and even stated that because of her lack of dates with women he is questioning if she is bisexual. The overall story is her being with a man and maybe it is the "dating other men hurts his ego" thing, but it just seemed like a really weird thing for him to emphasize it in his post and tell her to date a woman or he closes the marriage. And let's not breeze past the fact that he wanted a threesome before the open marriage as well.
MORGAN!! The new studio looks soooo good I’m obsessed with those chairs!!!
YESSSSS 🤩🥰🔥
I need to figure out what brand they are and where she got them!! My daughter would love one of those white plush chairs in her room
Wayfair :) boucle chair
Right? I'm living this shelves. Never been to California? Is this typical decor/architecture?
Morgan! The colorful sofa and chair you sit on is my total vibe... Please can I know who makes that design? Or did you get them and do the colorful decor yourself? Obsessed... Love all of your set ups. And I LOVE YOUR PODCAST! Between you deis and drew plus father knows... I'm good for life.. ❤
As a Brazilian, I totally knew the mom in the story 5 was talking about feijoada before she said so.
ETA: if this story happened in Brazil, they probably can't have feijoada for 2 days in a row without getting really sick. December in Brazil is summer and already too hot. Feijoada was made to be a heavy meal you eat once and gets you with a lot of energy and not needing to eat as heavily for a good while. And considering Brazilian's (and other Latin countries') parties, it's not only a matter of going to a place to eat and having one meal. When we have those parties, we eat a LOT and multiple times. It's not simple as "I'll have one plate and ~maybe~ seconds", it's more of a "I'll eat at *least* 3 plates bc I can".
And, as a Latina, don't mess with mom's meals, specially a family recipe.
Messing with a Latinas Moms recipes is by far a huge no-no! If you don’t respect her just say that but messing with a family recipe, especially acting like she doesn’t know what she’s doing?? The mom handled that better than I would’ve.
@@cheyennecolin5546 Right??!! A slap in the face would hurt less
Yes!! Feijoada isn't just the "stew", it's a whole feast, just like thanksgiving for americans. We need the rice, the farofa, the vinagrete, the mandioca, the fruits! And yes, it's required to eat at least three plates, because it's so good
@@dudacanever5440 I mean, if you eat less than that you're sick or the food is not good at all
We missed ALEJANDRA!!! :) my two fave guests are Lauren and Alejandra always a good episode with one of them!
Yes!! They’re also my favorites!
Same!
To Alejandra’s point about divorce: I’m also a child of divorce, and my parents don’t get along, but I’ve always said that I’m so happy they got divorced. The dysfunctional situation would’ve been so much worse if they’d been stuck in the same house with it lmao

Thank you bc she’s pushing it with the amount of ads lol
I am of the opinion that you can cheat on your partner if they cheat on you as a revenge - though I wouldn’t do it - but staying in the relationship just because of your kids is shitty; your kids are not stupid, they’re going to realize something is off at some point. And if she actually cares about the person that she’s dating, eventually it will be impossible for her to continue the ruse and it will fall apart anyway, perhaps even worse bc she’s been there longer.
Exactly!!! Kids know when someone is lying! They have that intuition, and while they may not be able to fully verbalize it, they eventually will understand why they felt uneasy about something. Because most kids can sense it.
I have been that kid for 10z+ years and when my parents finally announced their divorce, I was just so angry and confused. It sucks. I was basically a couple therapist for 10 years.
Tbf she said they're all under 5 so I'm hoping she's waiting till they're at a more stable age I think as much as staying and cheating is bad it's a worse choice to rip these children's stability before they even know what it looks like either way it's a bad situation but i think the kids should be the first priority at the moment they shouldn't be paying for their parents stupidity
Exactly. All I kept thinking was that this is the story behind every person who says "growing up, my parents were constantly cheating on each other...". No one is happy. Young kids are extremely adaptable to change, since they don't fully know what is good/bad yet. For the sake of the kids they should leave each other so the kids can grow up around something better. Kids, especially this young, will adapt to the situation, so give them a better situation.
My grandparents actually did a couple switch. Like, they cheated on each other with each other's spouses and then married them. We still don't know who cheated first, but I imagine it went just like that second story 😅
Excuse my language. I didn't know how to explain the situation as short as possible
Wendy was offended her mother in law said she didn't want her help in the kitchen anymore. So she tried to one up her.
It was definitely a pissing match from the start. She tried to bend the recipe because chef's know best, apparently. Then she scheduled her dish the day after mom's, and got offended when people stuck with tradition and made mom the scapegoat. Started a pissing match, lost, then blamed mom. Typical.
funnily enough, while listening to this i have an ACTIVE cold sore all due to my parents allowing me to be held as an immunodeficient baby. I've had them since I was maybe a month old? And let me tell you, it absolutely obliterates your self confidence when they're active and they're literally so, so painful. DO NOT LET PEOPLE KISS YOUR BABIES, THEY WILL PAY FOR IT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!
when you feel the tingle of it coming use WITCH HAZEL literally everytime it itches ot u feel that tingle put the witch hzael where you know it'll come and it will stop it...i started getting em and they would get so not cute and now i put it and it still can get scabby but it wont develope and it wont get icky itll appear more like maybe u had a pimple or w.e....but you use a cotton pad to hold on the witch hzael on the tingly spot id do it like very hr at least and stop it from coming. hope this helps u!
THIS. I Am TERRIFIED to kiss my own eventual baby because of exactly this.
@@MsSammy1289 and with good reason! RSV and HSV-1 is nothing to toy with, and you're always better safe than sorry!
@@MsSammy1289 if you gave birth vaginally then they are nearly guaranteed to already have it.
Get the antiviral oral medication (here it's over the counter, you might need a prescription). My life used to be so hard before it, a cold sore could last weeks and immediately after it a new one would come. Now, the minute I feel itchiness, I take a pill and eat them for a day. I even take it preventively if I sleep badly or am stressed. I keep them in my bag. I haven't had a real cold sore for years. Of course I still avoid oral sex if I feel the slightest bit of an itch. But they are never so bad that it would show. A box costs about 10 euro.
Listening to the first story and so glad ya'll both pointed out all the people the OP had in her home and the hospital right after giving birth. I've never been pregnant and don't have kids, but it just sounds exhausting hosting all of these people right after giving birth.
It is! 😢
It is 😅 would’ve loved to have some space and not forced to have family over
It is. Especially when they overstay their visit.
It is, with my first I didn’t set any boundaries cause I didn’t think I would need them then I would go home and cry after family events. If you’re up to it it’s great but if you’re not it’s really not.
My first was a covid baby in March 2020 and i was sad about no visitors until we got there, it was a BLESSING. We just had our second baby in March and i said no visitors at the hospital and only a few close family at home when we were ready. I want to send flowers as apology to anyone I’ve ever visited at the hospital postpartum now lol it is not the time to host people
For story #4, the problem with “everything happens for a reason” is that in my experience, people have generally always followed it up with “it was god’s will”. And having that told to me every single moment, every single day, for weeks on end after my dad passed was a LOT. I think there’s a time and place for that phrase and people don’t want to recognize that. But that’s just me.
i hate when people say that because its not true. Sometimes things happen that are shit, and they are simply just shit.
For Alejandra on Karma:
Remember, it’s about the sum of your actions in this life, and past. We believe in reincarnation- so if you’ve been awful your last three lives, Karma will still come to get you in your 4th. I know that kinda seems like a tit for tat thing, but really it’s more so about balance. There is no good without bad, and there is no bad without good.
I'm guessing that happens when you where awful in your three past lives but you didn't get bad karma in any of them, so when you have your 4th life, even if your good, the karma catches you? Is that correct?
but that seems so victim blamey idk
@@elalala576 Never said it was a perfect system.
This whole episode was just Alejandra not knowing common phrases or words 😂😂😂 “bless this mess” and “this isn’t an airport you don’t have to announce your departure”
I lost it when she said “you should put that on a shirt” like it’s not hanging in every southern mamas house 😂😂
@@Tay_hugsxkissesyes 😂
The gatekeeping tired reminds me of me and my kids father. I pretty much care for our daughter 24-7, but he works 13 hour days at least 6 days a week. I completely understand him being exhausted, and I would never take that away from him, as he respects the fact that I care for our daughter 24-7. We didn't always have this mutual respect, but this just reminded me of that.
As for story 2, I would have done it too. I was cheated on while pregnant and was told at 8.5 months pregnant that he wanted a divorce. She was married too. Her husband and I were like a support system for each other (they lived in our old hometown). But now that I am not emotionally devastated (this was 21 yrs ago), I can appreciate this petty revenge. I am not that kind of person that would actually do that, but I cheer on the woman that did. Lol. Karma is that my ex married that girl (who was his childhood friend) and she cheated on and divorced him too. LOL. I am now wonderfully, happily married to an amazing, loving husband and my daughter turned 21 on Monday. 🥰
Aww Morgan, so sorry about the thread people made 2 videos ago. Most of us have re-watched ALL episodes many times. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. We love all of you!!
I was on there and I feel bad bc like I love to revisit all other episodes... I just didn't like the griffin and the cult girls...
@@LoonyHalfBlood Same. I rewatch the podcast constantly but those 2 episodes are the only ones I skip.
also timestamp? I can't find it in the vid.
@@LoonyHalfBlood I also don’t like cult girls. Why Griffin tho? Just curious!
@NJC @TwoHotTakes
I second that! I am one of many who loves both the guest episodes and those with regulars. New perspectives can be very refreshing! I talk about pretty much all of them with my wife, lol, love seeing all the diversity.
"Put out good and good will come back", love that.
P.S.- Love the old studio setup, love the new studio setup too! That much beautiful white furniture would have no chance staying clean around me, lol

@@vixen205 he made a lot of weird comments in that video
For the A&B one; This is why I hate when people say, "You're too young to be tired." (typically its older people) I have Type 2 Narcolepsy, and even with meds, I still have bad days and feel really tired throughout the day. Some people that I've worked with, currently work with, and even cashiers at the store have said this to me. It puts me in a really bad mood for awhile. You never know what someone is going through.
Story 5 : Wendy got mad at her MIL for saying she didn’t want help anymore and she wanted to upstage her.
“I’m not saying he deserved it but god’s timing…” threw me!! 😂😂😂
Great episode. To be fair about some of the comments on previous guests episodes, I don’t think ppl are mad/disappointed at the guests responses more so Morgan’s responses. We can agree ppl have different opinions and still be friends. I think ppl would want Morgan to be more confident and comfortable with her responses when having new guest. It doesn’t always mean that she will agree with guest and I think that’s what ppl want to see. The same way how she sometimes doesn’t agree with Justin, Lauren, or Alejandra, we want the authenticity to be that way with guest as well.
Yess!! The “I want comfort, not a solution” thing is so true!! I will be telling my boyfriend something or venting and he will respond with “well why are you telling me what do you want me to do about it? I can’t do nothing about it” … like I don’t want you to do anything about it I just want to vent and get out my frustration
Right? Sometimes you just need someone to say “damn that really sucks” And then maybe go do something fun, like watch a movie and eat your favorite take-out food or something to take the edge off.
100% I actually saw this first on Married at First Sight phrased as “Sympathy or Solutions” and my husband and I implemented it right then and there and it’s wonderful.
I taught my dad this and it helped so much. He is 100% a problem solver and my sister was struggling with anxiety/depression and he didn’t know how to handle it. I sat him down and explained that he needs to ask her what she needs when she comes to him, because she doesn’t always need a problem solver. Sometimes having a shoulder to cry on is enough 🤷♀️
💯
Divorce sucks when you're poor. My dad just divorced my mom of 20 years and she took him for every penny. He's thousands in debt. But he didn't care. He only wanted custody of my younger brother, who's 16. There's 3 of us me and my older sister are already moved out it was only my brother and dad for a while and they at one point lived in a church basement with no where else to go.. but now that was a year ago my dad remarried last weekend and he's super happy and they have a home they share ❤️
My kiddo was born high-risk and we were specifically instructed to have NO visitors unless really necessary (help, etc). The amount of people who were ANGRY at me for not introducing/handing off my high-risk infant absolutely blew my mind. My village turned the second I made it clear that they couldn't interact with my baby right off the bat... the woman in the first story is deff the AH.
This episode is incredible. I love how Morgan and Alejandra’s friendship shines through. The way they have such different personalities and perspectives and love each other and giggle at stuff together it’s so cool to see.
Regarding the bisexual wife in the open marriage: I'm a Bisexual, seriously it's *hard* to find a woman to date in my area. It's rural upstate NY, and it seems like there are a lot of gold star lesbians who won't touch us, then there are the other various reasons in life for incompatibility in life that limit the dating pool. Men are more willing to date a Bisexual woman.
That being said, she's entirely in the right and needs to pursue Flowerman.
I laughed so hard at Alejandras reaction to the “3 kids under the age of 5”😂😂 the instant shock 😂🤣
To Morgan's question about leftovers:
I'm Hispanic and my family always sends us home with food and even buys us food to have us take home when we visit.
My husbands family is white and EVERYTIME his mom has an event, birthday, holiday, Super Bowl, etc she always sends everyone home with food and asks what we will eat and gives us what's left. Bless.
About coping strats and being supportive, a scene from one show I like, Avatar The Last Air Bender.
Sokka told Zuko about something devistating that happened. (not to spoil)
Zuko simply responds, "That's rough buddy." He meant it. Knowing there's not much he can say to make it better, but that he cares.
No matter when or how our opinions differ, I always appreciate the different sides that you guys bring! I mean... Two hot takes.. Its in the name, isnt it? lol
Just so y’all know, whoever said they hate guest stars don’t speak for all of us, while it can be a little nerve wracking cause we have no idea what the guest stars say, it is pretty great to have them on and hear it anyways, everyone’s hot take is valued. Also you have some great ones so don’t get discouraged!
For Alejandra's question "why do good things happen to bad people", In Hinduism and Buddhism and other faiths of mostly Indian origin, we believe in reincarnation. So the belief is that your karma will last for however many lifetimes -- it's not always instant or even traceable.
It's also not like one bad thing will definitively result in another bad thing. Maybe a series of bad actions will result in a large negative outcome. Or one very good action will result in a series of good things happening over a lifetime.
Point being, "why do good things happen to bad people" is a statement that confines you to one life, which isn't what the faiths who follow karma believe.
Love the show! great episode :)
“I guess I just see so many people like passing the babies around, like a…”
Me: hot potato
Alejandra: “Stanley cup”
Me: blunt

@@isacarral2736 mood 😂
I think karma is something you are not in control of. The reactions in Story 1-2 are more revenge I think
I really enjoy the guest episodes! People just happen to love the Alejandra/ Lauren and Justin episodes because it's calming to watch friends interact with each other.
Story 2: It bothers me that OP says she doesn't want her children growing up in two homes, but a moment later she says that she doesn't care if things blow up in her face and she'll enjoy getting together with her affair partner. You can't make the excuse that you don't want your kids to be in a split household, but you also don't care if your husband divorces you. To be clear, I'm not saying that she should stay with a cheating partner just to avoid a co-parenting situation, I'm just confused by what her priorities are here, because what she wrote isn't making complete sense.
i thought the same...like what?! she is just as much a loser as her hubby she selfish not thinking of her kids...this teaches them what to expect in a relationship instead of being mature and confronting him.
I think she was saying her ideal is to stay with her husband and keep sleeping with the other guy because she gets the best of both worlds, but if her husband were to find out and divorce her she wouldn’t be devastated cause she’s got her boyfriend.
@@Antibeautyguru I see what you’re saying. I thought it was just weird that the part about it “blowing up in her face” was an edit so I took it as her just saying it to try and shut up commenters who were telling her she’s being stupid. Either way, it’s just such a mess. Perhaps the other guy would stay with her if her marriage ended, but they started seeing each other as revenge, so they’re both just using each other for sexual thrills. It’s not actual loyalty or care for each other, just a way to get back at their spouses.
frankly i don’t even think they need to divorce. clearly BOTH of them enjoy cheating on eachother, just open up the marriage
@@jjanon2371 For sure a mess 😂
seriously, i would buy that ''bless this mess'' merch without questioning!
Yes! I got herpes when I was a toddler and it affected my social life. I've had people bully me through my teen years. Then when I was older and dating the men called me slutty and even my own husband threatened to divorce me over it, even though he knew I had it when we started dating. (I eventually divorced him not just for this reason)
Even my current boyfriend assumed that I got it from sleeping around and unfortunately that has a negative connotation.
The virus itself hasn't really caused any physical pain. It just looks a bit ugly... But the emotional pain is unbelievable. So much suffering because of a crusty, bump on my lip that I got when I was 3.
Is anyone else getting upset that Morgan is barley reading the comments off the original post now. Don't get me wrong I love the podcast but the reason I chose it over others is because most don't read comments off reddit and thats my favorite part 😭 some storys in resent videos we don't get ANY comments. I know they love having conversations about the post but please read more comments after
Sometimes I just forget awhhhh
the picasso pillow is so cute! Morgy can we get another Alejandra and Lauren trio episode?
I loveee Alejandra, she's so wise and sounds like a great friend to have.
Right!! She's so mature and elegant love her episodes
Dude Alejandra has and will always be my favorite cohost our perspective on things are very similar and I always find myself literally clapping to her responses😂😂 but also the fact that you can see the friendship through your communication especially when you guys don’t agree necessarily, I love the way you both interact with each other. It sets a very good example for any friendship !! 💕🥰
Morgan, do not get rid of the guest episodes. I LOVE our core repeat co-hosts. They're wonderful. But I think it keeps things fresh and changing to have guests. Plus they offer much needed outside opinions from people with different life experiences. Even with guests I don't enjoy or agree with, it's still worth the time to see how other people think about these things
I broke off a six year relationship that had mismatched libidos. We overall had a really great relationship, but he needed sex often to feel loved and I had/have essentially no libido. We tried for a long time to make it work, cause otherwise we were really matched, but I eventually ended it due to the libido problem. There were a couple of other issues, of course, but I knew I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life feeling guilty I didn’t want to have sex with my partner every day.
if a lot of bad things happen to me at once, i always think that it’s only happening so something really good can happen for me because i believe good and bad karma have to balance each other out
Sounds like the first woman was very, very salty about not being able to see her niece. "I respected her decisions!" so why are you treating her differently? She chose to not have ANYONE see her child for three months - everyone was treated the same. You're specifically choosing to single her out and let EVERYONE ELSE see your kid except for her and her husband.
Listen, I don’t always have the time to enjoy the podcast, but when I see Alejandra on, I will make the time. I always enjoy listening to her takes and personal stories. I also love the positive turn around she puts on things. “It’s been a shit week, but that just means there’s good around the corner.” I love that mentality! So, in short, you have at least one fan in your corner, Alejandra!
Omg Morgan! TRUE FANS ALWAYS WANT THE TEA!!! I crave the tea so definitely hand it over with FULL force😊😂
Story 6: I wouldn't have reacted that way, but B got what she needed. Now B will forever think twice before trying to one-up someone else.
As a brazilian, it cracked me up when I realized the 'mystery' dish was feijoada.. so cute how you pronounce it !! hehehe
.. and yes, it is pretty heavy to eat twice in a roll... It's a whole thing. you won't move for days after
For the story about the daughter-in-law making the same dish, she should have AT LEAST reached out to OP, and ask her HERSELF to be the one to do this year's dish, to get together with the family. But the idea of a new tradition is also great
I have been having terrible anxiety the last few weeks and listening to yalls podcast helps me feel so much better. Its just like talking with my best friends. You guys keep doing you! We love you guys!
To story number 2, I never understood when people say they don’t want their kids to grow up in seperate homes. My parents have divorsed and them moving to seperate houses was the best thing in that situation for me. It is not any better to live in a broken home where there are two parents who don’t love eatch other and fight all the time because of that. KIDS FEEL BETTER IF PARENTS FEEL BETTER, so if moving to seperate houses makes parents happier, it’s better for the kids.
Ps. I love both of your podcasts and have listened from the start. This brings me comfort, these help me sleep and I feel like I have learned lots of things about myself and about life by listening all of your oppinions and advice❤
Why is this episode pure chaos 😂, especially the intro before the stories
For story 6. I was a nanny 12-15 kids (was a group foster home for sibling groups and special needs) and i did it for 8-14 hours a day for $12 an hour. Never complained, never tried to one up people. I listened if someone had a bad day,week, or even month. Empathy is supposed to be a normal human emotion why is it so hard for some people understand
You guys might not have the most popular takes sometimes but I genuinely don’t think there’s any malice from y’all. Like you’re so kind and try to make sure you dont offend anyone, people just need to not take other peoples opinions or takes about non issues too seriously
I'm Brazilian and I think DIL had it coming. No one can beat a good family-traditional feijoada hahah
Also you can definitely eat it two days in a row, just eat lighter stuff during the rest of the day and maybe eat some side fruit with it ^^
In my Latino family, they would send you home with leftovers as soon as you're like "I can't finish my plate".
omg can we do an episode like the last question-friend drama? i feel like it’s kind of upbeat like some calm tea
Omg the ad room is DOPEEE
Yay Alejandra!!! Always so good to see you!
Morgan I usually don’t comment but I just wanna say that theres lots of us who really appreciate every single episode whether it’s one of the regular co-hosts or a guest,, even if I don’t agree with some guests I do love that it keeps things new and interesting so keep going!!! Lots of love and support from the other side of the world (and as a fellow nd person thank you for keeping me company whilst doing chores and sleeping)
Morgan... I seriously love your podcast! It not only cracks me up! But it has helped me on so many other levels with life in general. I appreciate you and all your family ... I love everyone you have on the show. ❤
I laughed so hard at Morgan’s little legs dangling off the studio chair bc same girl 😂
you guys keep me entertained while I’m stuck at home after surgery!! loving this one so far
Morgan, you have great insights and I hope you stand up for them more! Having differing viewpoints is so important, and yours are valid! The convo about groceries and weaponized incompetence? It's not a small benign thing. Asking to make sure you're on the same page? Yes, fair. Guys are flaky and head in the clouds? That's on them to fix. I speak as a mom and a divorced woman who literally had her burden reduced when we became a single parent home. You can be kind without being "nice" to partners and family. Kind is beautiful, nice is a doormat
"Kind is beautiful, nice is a doormat" is soooo good!
Oh, FFS, the lady that gatekeeps tiredness triggered me sooooo much. It's the second time today I hear such shit and I already cried a couple hours from the realisation that one of my oldest friends actually resents me for not being a parent and "not having problems at all". Some parents should really check their high horses at the door. I get parenthood is hard as fck, but please don't blame me for your own decisions. It doesn't make you more worthy than me.
Love you Morgan!!! Thank you so much for your weekly posts! You make my week :))))
Before I start the video, I’d like to say that I believe karma is neither good or bad, but simply a lesson. Regardless of how “bad” it may seem, and how much of a good person you are, there’s always a lesson behind karma. Let’s see if my opinion changes after watching. Love you both ❤
My thoughts on karma remain the same, but I really did love this one!
“They f***d around and found out”😂😂
Great episode as always! I really do like the longer Reddit stories. I think it gives you guys more to build off of!
Always wonderful to see you two together! ❤
Just fully skipped out of work I was so excited to spend my lunch break listening to you ladies thank you for making my Thursday (inarguably the worst day) better every week
I recently found your page and binged alllll the episodes. I guess I’m all caught up and now have to listen piece meal EEK! 😂
The “everything happens for a reason” is absolutely a coping mechanism and definitely borders toxic positivity. Being unable to accept that bad things just happen sometimes and always digging for deeper meaning when there is none is a lot heavier on the heart than just accepting most things are out of your control so just do the best you can and love as much as possible along the way. Slowly falling into a “positive nihilism” mindset and my mental state has been improving so much. I’ve been able to focus on the right now instead of over analyzing the past and future. I’ve been able to make huge progress in my life and I am able to handle bad situations so much better because I no longer fall into the loop of “why? What did I do to deserve this? What is the universe telling me? What’s the bigger meaning/reason?” Things are what they are and I am doing my best to work with what I got, life’s been feeling lighter lately.
ETA: this is just my personal experience and not a judgment on those you live by the “everything happens for a reason” mindset. We’re all just trying our best to live in the way that makes the most sense for our own selves
I love morgan’s lil laugh at the end
Listening to this podcast honestly gives me a way to get away from all my problems in life and allows me to decompress all while laughing along.
Thank you so much for this episode Morgan. You have no idea how much I needed this episode today.
As someone who also has had sleep paralysis my whole life I found that if you focus on breathing a little faster it can wake you up. Then I give it a few minutes and go back to sleep. It isn't perfect but it has helped me in the past.
Morgan! You are seriously the only Podcast I listen to from beginning til the end. Would love to feature in one of your episode. Sending love!
idk but i absolutely love the tangents and lil story times. i just love hearing you guys have conversations, it’s just so relatable idk. thank you for this amazing episode!!!! 🤍
No good deed goes unpunished! I've learned this the hard way 😅
alejandra never heard the saying “bless this mess” lol she sounded like she thought you made that up 😭😭😭
Love this episode, you two are in such a great mood and I'm laughing out loud with you! X
