Hello, Dad here… I am reading all the love you guys are passing along to Morgan and our family.. I’ve decided and recommend it to Morgan for the benefit of our ecological world of global warming. Starting immediately once a week she will need to profess her love and appreciation to Justin so you guys can cry and cry and cry productively to capture all those tears in that water to solve the water crisis and, drought conditions. Lots of love to all of you for we share each other’s lives. Love dad Aka: FKS
Ahahahahahaha awwwwww 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 such a wholesome way to save the planet
Our favorite woman in STEM, Morgan, for singlehandedly trying to stop the water shortage one episode at a time 🤣
We love you Jerry❤❤❤
xcuz u!!!!!!!!! i was not prepared for this MY GOD!!!!!!!!
😭😭😭😭
crying with morgan thanking justin for buying her setup and helping her along the way🥺🥺 such a sweet and encouraging couple
I know we only see what’s online but you can just tell how genuine they are with each other. It’s such a good example of what a non-toxic and supportive relationship should look like 😭
Hysterical 😭
Omg me too 🥹
This! I feel encouraged from this episode
I’m pretty sure I was crying as much as she was 😭😭😭
“You just said you weren’t going to cry”
“Yeah I know, I lied”
🤣 I felt that
The fact her husband laughed at the plunger comment KILLS me ☠️☠️☠️
Story 1 - Unless there was major, intensive therapy for and improvement by the dad, I’d be leaving him. Any parent that looks at their child, especially an infant, as a sexual or romantic opponent has deep seeded issues that should have been taken care of before they started having unprotected sex. I’d be scared if my partner said shit like that, I’d be terrified my child would be abused in the future, especially once they start going through puberty.
Absolutely! after having your first child there's a huge difference between general resentment due to lack of attention from your partner and resentment because you see your newborn son as a romantic rival, he literally sees his wife as nothing but a sexual object and can't even separate that when she's caring for their shared child, totally sick
*deep seated. And I completely agree. He could easily kill the baby because he sees the baby as a sexual or romantic rival! Disgusting and terrifying!
Yeah it would be an immediate divorce for me.
Yes, severely disturbing and shows a distinct lack of paternal connection. I'm petty and would have going to his mother (my MIL) and told her exactly what he said.
This!!! It also blows my mind that no one talked about her going, "you know I have to take care of the baby first" with seemingly no thought of... You know... The baby's dad actually helping to take care of him? It's just treated like it's automatically the mom's responsibility to take care of their child AND her husband. It's so gross and all the more reason for her to leave him. Better off doing it alone than with a selfish, creepy asshole who makes it even harder for you.
I CRIED when Morgan was telling Justin how much she appreciates him. There’s nothing like an active supportive partner. Not just saying “babe you got this !” But actively HELPING! That was really a beautiful moment ❤
That was so sweet! 😭
1st Lauren Story: For non birthing parents it’s considered Antenatal and postnatal depression. In case anyone would like to look more into this. 💗
Very interesting. I have been getting really tired of them calling it “postpartum” depression for people who have never even been pregnant, or maybe can’t ever get pregnant at all (such as the father of the child). I totally get what they’re trying to raise awareness of, but using the term postpartum for someone who has not birthed a child seems dismissive of what someone who has given birth goes through. It’s a huge life change for everyone involved, I agree. But the physical changes you go through to have a baby are not the same as what you go through when a baby is brought into the house.
@@Rachel-xg7hs Yes, its important to be able to talk about these differences to be able to offer the best help for both birthing and non-birthing parents and caregivers.
ew
No it's not. antenatal also called prenatal and postnatal depression are still the birthing person issue, however it can also affect the non birthing person too.
Antenatal/prenatal (they mean the exact same thing) means before giving birth, postnatal means after birth and mean the exact same as pre and post partum and refer to the birthing person.
In the UK we use the term prenatal, antenatal ( I don't think antenatal is used much now but when I was younger pregnancy care, classes etc where called antenatal care, antenatal classes etc) and postnatal, in the USA they use the term pre and post partum.
Antenatal, postnatal and prenatal means exactly the same as pre partum and post partum. It can also be called perinatal too, perinatal is the more longer term, whereas postnatal is immediately after, perinatal means more in the longer term
But the terms antenatal, post natal and prenatal just means the same as prepartum and postpartum and whatever ten used can affect both the birthing person or the non birthing person.
@@gameplaygirl3268it's still post partum because post partum refers to the time frame after birth and not a specific event only a birth giver would experience. Like semantics I get it but it's not wrong technically
When Jerry said “thank you for being part of my life and being a big part of it” I literally cried and love that Morgan not being phased by that means he reminders her and that she is used to hearing that 😭😭 don’t mind me crying instantly
for real like that must be so nice to have mann🥲
There's nothing like having a partner that believes in you and supports you, we love you Justin thank you for bringing Morgan into our lives and thank you Morgan for literally saving my sanity, I discovered your podcast after I had my baby in early 2021 and you were there with me with no sleep at 3-4 in the morning giving me something to focus on other than the crying and colic. Thank you Morgan for loaning your father out to the fatherless it means so much to us, can't wait for the next hundred, I'll be here probably still at 4 in the morning since my baby still isn't sleeping through the night lol ❤️ u guys
I am so happy you're here
This made me cry 🥺 I feel the same 💗
Morgan saying "lets dive in" gives the same feeling as shania twain saying "lets go girls"
Lots of people do Reddit reacts, particularly AITA, but few nail it like THT. With reoccurring and rotating co-hosts, there's always a variety of opinions. I particularly enjoy the dedication to telling the whole story. Lots of folks who just dabble in the format will only read/react to the original post. When they move on, I'm always like, "Wait, what about the comments? Did OP reply or clarify? I need updates!" Meanwhile, over here, Morgan will track down posts from alternate accounts in different subreddits and stitch together the remains of half-deleted threads. The effort is noticed and appreciated!
I'm so so appreciative if you noticing. I really try to give an all encompassing view of these stories. ugh I love you. Thanks for being here!!
@@TwoHotTakes Love you guys, too! Keep up the good work :)
I agree so much! No one compares to this podcast. Whenever I hear someone else try and do the AITA stories I always find myself wishing I was listening to this podcast instead

@@thunderglory6398 probably played in like ×2 speed lol
Or they skipped through the video
My hero
i’ve never commented before but i cried with Morgan’s words at the beginning. This podcast is such a safe space for me and i’m so happy for you and hope all your dreams come true!
Same! I just saw this after I commented for the first time
I cried too!!! She’s so sweet and genuine!!!
The inheritance story: OP comments were missing that I think applies a lot of context to the situation. The account has since been deleted but you can get the drift through the replies.
Sam was basically a glass child. OP and her husband focused on Emma their whole life because they considered her the one that has the most needs. The husband said he wanted it split 50/50 before he died. There was also a comment from OP about the dad giving Sam an eating disorder when she was younger and being emotionally abusive towards her. OP carried on that favoritism towards Emma by paying half of Emma’s rent and expenses her whole adult life.
There was a few comments by redditors saying Sam might also have ADHD but it presented itself differently through an ED and always working and trying to prove herself.
With that context I think this is more of a case of Sam feeling tossed aside again for her sister by her mom. It appears the parents were neglectful and possibly emotionally abusive towards Sam.
I usually am not someone to jump on the no contact train but I hope Sam goes no contact and go lives a happy life with the family and life she’s built for herself.
THANK YOU FOR 100 EPISODES! So glad I came across this channel and it really does feel like a community. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!
That makes things make a lot more sense. Without that context, I was 100000% NTA, because Sam is doing more than fine, she has no need for financial support. But if they have treated her that way the whole time....then yeah. Mom is the ah :(
@@victoriakelley664 exactly my thought process as well
Just to clarify, op did mention that emma did not get the care she needed through her childhood until her teens and they knew she had adhd then in oc, i think without the context fully this is truly a confusing one
Thanks for the added context this story really threw me through a loop 🥴
I'm a glass child myself. I understand where Sam is coming from. I would react the same. It's not a money issue, it's a behavior and communication issue from OP. My parents always had deep rooted issues and favoritism towards my brother stemming from my brother's twin passing away at birth.
My brother also have ADHD and only prioritize fun to "adult things". Never finished high school because he didn't want to. Switch jobs like it is a T-shirt. Indulge in drugs and alcool.
My parents are still giving him money monthly to cover expenses. Paid for 3 cars he ruined under 6 months each time. Endorsed debt for him which they ended up having to pay because he wasn't paying it and it was ruining their credit. He got my parent's house at a ridiculous price (250K$ under market value it's a not a high value house either). At one point he wanted to sell it to pay drug and consumer debt... 🤦♀️ They are compromising their retirement for his misbehaviors. It enrages me. They worked so hard for it and he's going to get it all and I know i'm not going to get any because there will be none left and not because they lived a good retirement.
In contrast, Im a CPA with a good income (not as much as Sam tho, I wished 😂). I also struggle with ADD but worked through it by finding a true passion in personnal finance and accounting helping families in need, not for profit organizations, friends and family.
Since I was "good" at school and I never had problems, my parents never paid attention to me. They were always gone to my brother's baseball or hockey games.
The only time they would, it's when my grades were bad (below A), they would "discipline" me.
And at the same time, my brother would come back with D's and they would congratulate him.
As a kid i never understood why and I resented them.
Now that I am a mom, I do understand why. Loosing a child must have been a traumatic experience but it doesnt excuse their behavior.
I'm more angry towards my brother now because I know he knowingly takes advantage of it (i.e. he would use his brother's death in arguments to make my parents shut up) and it breaks my heart.
Sorry I rambled for so long just to say I think OP is an AH 😂 I feel I am a Sam. The forgotten child. The one they brag about to their friends to make them look good but never acknowledge.
Like Morgan always says, I think I need therapy 😂
Morgan crying always makes me tear up, but when she started crying thanking Justin and talking about how he helped her set this all up during one of her darkest time, I actually cried, too. Happy you two have each other. Definitely #RelationshipGoals.
yup just here crying at work! same girl, same
New favourite dad quote "If being a dick is yourself, don't be yourself then." 😂
Is this really 2 1/2 hours???? I can’t freaking wait! HAPPY 100 episodes Two Hot Takes. I love y’all sm! And this truly is something I look forward to weekly!
Omg I didn’t notice until I read this comment. I’m so happy 🥹🤗🤗🤗
I didn't notice either until I saw this. Ahhh! I was already excited to listen, now I'm soo hyped! Yayy movie 😁
I loveeeee the long vids/podcasts!!!
Although I could listen to them all the time!
Lauren, you did A👏🏻MA👏🏻ZING👏🏻 as a host! Your reading was on point, so don't be too hard on yourself, you did incredible!
!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! 😄😄😄

@@selma8337 awww and you're gorgeous, thank you, you just made my day 😁.
Story 2 - I’ve had breast reduction surgery, so I have had both large and small boobs. When Morgan said “I’d rather have small boobs, but maybe the grass is greener,” I would NEVER go back to having big boobs. The discomfort and pain is NOT worth the aesthetic. Small boobs for life!!!
And I wouldn't trade my big boobs for anything, love people doing what's right for them!!
I also want to get breast reduction surgery. It really hurts your back, neck. And also, I was always uncomfortable to be sexualized by my boobs and butt.
I would love to wear button shirts normally too so🤷🏻♀️🤣
The title for a space themed episode could be something like, “Drama that is out of this world”😂
Story one, I could never trust this person ever again. To even suggest that the mother sexually assault her own child because he didn’t get the partner’s immediate attention is absolutely disgusting and a huge red flag, worthy of considering even being in the relationship. I would never leave my child alone with him.
34:42 stop this got me crying 😭😭😭 I love how supportive he is and motivating her 🥹😭❤️
we all need a justin :((
I NEED Lauren to know that my favorite moment from her is her reaction to the story about the woman whose future husband told her about his family tradition where she opens her legs up for his dad to show she’s “pure.” Her gasp and taken aback-ness and “WHAT?!” makes me cackle EVERY time I relisten to that episode 😂 love ya Lauren and Morgan ❤
Omg I forgot about that story hahahaha that was one of the more wild ones for sure 😂😭
@@Lauren-ib3ok AAAAAAA the queen replies!!! Thanks so much this made my day!!! 💗💗💗
What episode is that?
@@user.9189 It is “Where do we go from here?” at around 46:44 😊
@@ericabeauchamp3157 TYSM ❤❤
First story that Lauren read, I've been there. My son's Bio dad used to tell me he HAD to cheat on me because "I didn't take care of him anymore and I put the baby first"
The craziest thing is that the women agreed that I shouldn't be putting my newborn above my husband......these were mother's in their 40s! I got the hell outta that situation
Edit: there were a million more reasons I cut ties. I don't want anyone to think I cut a child's father out for reasons that may have been resolved.
Girl, cheating is a good enough reason to leave! What a psycho! Good for you being a wonderful mom and putting your baby first!
morgan, your little sob on “taught me how to edit” made me burst out laughing not gonna lie 😅 you’re just so cute
I remember the episode where it was Morgan, Justin and Lauren and Lauren talked about hating reading in public after sth happened at school, and Morgan straight up passed her the laptop and she was shocked “You will have me read a story right after I talked how I hate being popcorned?” 🥺 (Lauren, don't remember the episode) 😂
😂😂 yes
For Alejandra’s first story… ADD is no longer it’s own diagnosis, it falls under the umbrella of ADHD, very similar to the autism spectrum in how they no longer diagnosis Asperger’s. Congratulations on 100 episodes (belatedly). I’ve been binge listening to your show for the past few months and don’t know what I will do when I have to wait every week for an episode like everyone else 🤣 keep on keeping on, this is hands down my favorite podcast!
1:18:06 Fair isn’t always equal. The division is equitable and this is an important lesson to all. As a teacher I make accommodations to students and some receive more time, do less problems, may have different consequences, etc. It is important to understand for everyone to have fair access, some will receive more than others. But that “more” just allows them to have fair and equitable access.
I felt the same way! Reminded me of my disability accommodations in college and uni. Also THANK YOU for being a teacher!!!
Damn!! Morgan thanking Justin really turn on the waterfalls over here 😭
Just few months ago I was dealing with addiction, depression, and many more drug-induced issues and this podcast always calmed me down, helped me fall asleep made me forget about my problems for a little while. You have no idea how much you've helped and healed me during one of the most difficult times which sometimes felt like the end. I love this podcast, Morgan and all the co-hosts, I'll forever be grateful❤
I'm so grateful we crossed paths. So happy to hear you're doing so much better. Ugh you got me over here crying.
Fellow depressed addict here. Stay strong and I'm so proud of you for fighting the good fight 💖
I’m 21 F from NZ- Watching this while working from home, like I have with the other 99 episodes since you started. Since you started, you have successfully advised me out of a VERY toxic, abusive relationship and lifestyle into a happy and healthy one; just through reinforcing what is and isn’t okay through hot takes. I’m the last of 7 children, and am the ONLY ONE who has been able to establish healthy boundaries and a loving relationship with our parents. I study psychology now and work for the government (was working at a gas station before). I have good friends now, and I love myself and my life. This is mostly thanks to you guys, you’re the healthy insight I never had, and now I can be that for others. I love you all 💘
I am so so happy for you!! Thank you for being here and supporting us so much.
1:44:56 when my last boyfriend of 5 years dumped me over FaceTime, Deadass the first words out of my mouth was “What a fucking waste”. I’m proud of that one 😂
This friend group and Morgan and Justin's relationship is the fucking standard this should just be how people are caring understanding always willing to say something and always willing to listen 😭❤️🥰
Alejandra's story 1: My sister has severe ADHD and so far, we don't even know if she will ever be able to have a proper job. If me and her were in a similar financial position, I would without a doubt agree and give her the 70% inheritance.
Me and my brother both have adhd. He can’t hold down a job to save his life, neither could I until my diagnosis and I had to put a lot of work into developing coping strategies and working with my brain rather than against it. I’d honestly be so pissed if I was then essentially punished for doing better than him because he would rather rely on handouts than put any effort into helping himself
I dont think Emma has severe ADHD. I mean it is very noticeable and would've been diagnosed much sooner, unless the parents were neglectful and didnt care enough to get a proper diagnosis.
Also, I am around the same age as Emma and my friend is 29. She was diagnosed with severe ADHD at age 8.
With proper treatment and support she was able to graduate higher secondary school and have the option to go to university.
Being diagnosed as teen is late, but if you put in the work, the kid can still thrive academically.
I think it's totally on the parents here and Sam shouldnt suffer for it. On that note I agree with @Chelsea Hayllar .
i also have ADHD but i got really lucky, and while it does make my life hell, it i wasn’t detectable to anyone except my dad and I and my ex girlfriends mom, and the professional that diagnosed me. well everyone except the professional thought I was autistic, and my ADHD has impacted my social interactions more than my education and working. I’m in high school, and i’m able to take AP classes with 4 hours of homework a night each. I can pay attention and fully dedicate to my work at a volunteer kitchen where we cook and clean. For me, I have the “attention deficit” more than the hyperactivity, and the ADHD block is the worst issue I have. I got diagnosed at 16, and it’s a lot easier to learn this stuff in your teen years or childhood. I found the right medication, and it keeps me hyperfocused on tasks to the point where I don’t eat because I can’t put the work down. And all of this was pure chance. Of people who suffer from ADHD, I got really lucky in the healthcare, family support, socioeconomic background, and other brain chemistry (severe anxiety that forces me to complete my work even when I haven’t slept in days) that somehow led me to be able to live normally for a try hard high school kid. i also only have to worry about forgetting homework rather than forgetting to pay bills and things so I have less stress, and i’m in a better state than most while Im learning about my brain. i got so lucky and it’s NOT fair. we need to improve our systems to adapt to non neurotypicals. It’s not that ADHD people can’t hold jobs like they should, it’s that jobs need to be more ADHD friendly, and friendly to other disorders. more research needs to be done about neurological disorders, specifically research on brains that aren’t of 5 year old boys.
@@blandcoffeeamv4107women are notoriously underdiagnosed for adhd, because often the symptoms differ. also, even ten years ago there was a lot less awareness on adhd.
@@blandcoffeeamv4107I would just like to offer a different perspective (8 months later lol). Most women do not get an accurate diagnosis until their late 30s or 40s (including severe ADHD) and this is often only because they have a child with the disorder. There is also a lot of new (desperately needed) research that woman may actually develop symptoms later in life comparative to men. Often this can lead to a total collapse for women who seemingly are high achieving, put together adults as responsibilities grow with age and their coping skills or lack thereof are tested. With that being said, woman with undiagnosed ADHD often have low esteem and operate from a place of learned helplessness coupled with minimal to no coping skills. So while I have a somewhat different perspective on this and a lot of empathy being one of these aforementioned women, I do think the best thing for Emma is as one commenter said to foster her independence. She is already at a disadvantage and that coupled with the low esteem, feelings of hopelessness and lack of coping skills is debilitating. Bottom line the medical research and healthcare communities need to do better. Either way I wish all of us the best in navigating our respective diagnoses and appreciate all the varying perspectives on this issue!
What a great structure to this episode. Giving everyone their own spotlight and letting them know how they have impacted the show and your life. So beautiful!
Sleeping on the couch story - OP just added an update, and there are SO MANY more red flags on the parents being controlling/abusive. He ended up take the wife and sisters on vacation away from the parents for the rest of their trip because of it. I hope he updates again just so we know the sisters are safe 😓
I have been trying to find the update and can't even find the original story! Its driving me nuts!!
Whenever my family hosted Christmas they didn’t split couples like these in-laws did. So stupid. Your married daughter does not magically turn into your little girl when she visits.
Omg I totally got teary eyed when Morgan talked about Justin! There’s nothing as amazing as having a partner be so supportive of your dreams. You’ve got a good one Morgan 🥰
i just moved to a new country all alone. making friends has been so hard for me, I am so introverted and generally shy. my family at home means everything to me, and my whole life is there. literally 5000 miles away. i started watching your videos one night when I was up until 3AM, struggling with jet lag and loneliness. I have been listening to one every day since. On my morning runs, when I eat, when I cook, walk to class or shop. Even if I don't agree with every take I have just enjoyed listening so much. Thank you so so much for putting these videos out. They have kept me company, especially in the moments when I miss my best friend, sister, or mom. They are an 8 hour time difference away from me, but you guys are here whenever! Keep kicking ass, thank you
I always find myself thinking of what I would say in reaction to these crazy stories, and its just so much fun for me. I literally cannot communicate how much you guys have done for me. Cheers from a US girl displaced in England. I am wishing you such a successful and blessed year
Thank you so so much for being here
@@haleyrowe5770 even tho its lonely (+ the weather depressing), think of it as an adventure that will 1 day end + when ppl find out younger u lived “abroad” they’ll be kinda of impressed + envious that u bit life in the arse.
Keep biting just don’t forget to brush ur teeth after.😊 Go see Scotland for me! I’m kind of impressed + def envious.
You thanking Justin hit home, I'm currently the Morgan you use to be lost, depressed and honestly your videos make my day it's the little joy I get, your voice is so so comforting 💕
It gets better
For the 1st story with Justin- so sad her fiancé’s family didn’t accommodate her food for the dinner that is supposed to celebrate HER engagement! I’m in a similar situation to her when it comes to food, and my fiancé’s family went above and beyond and made Thanksgiving dinner completely gluten free for the past couple years just to accommodate me. Definitely helps show me how lucky I have it
Ok, the story about the inheritance gets me…Emma is 32 & just finished high school, she didn’t get the help she needed so she’s probably going to struggle regardless of financial situation. As a parent, inheritance is to help your children, she’s just trying to take care of the child she’s worried can’t care for herself as easily. As a sister, I would be understanding if I was in this situation.
Fine, but this mom may not be dying for another 20 years, I just made another comment about how a tragedy can happen anytime to the other daughter, one of her kids could need long term care for life or herself can have something horrible happen and be unable to work. Just because she's well off now doesn't mean she's set for life.
The money should be 50/50 and Emma should get the house and car as stated and now she graduated she can work now also family stuff that is sentimental should be split equally
absolutely. i’m latina and was just telling my mom about this story because i thought the approach to this subject was rather... odd(?). my parents always taught me that money is a TOOL to live life;
there’s no reason why the daughter who has an extensive financial net and exponentially greater financial stability than her sister should be offended or hurt by not getting money (something she doesn’t need).
if the discussion was about personal belongings, family heirlooms and things of this sort (meaning: things that have emotional value) i’d definitely say that the split should be equal... but that’s not the case, the reality is money isn’t familial love, it is a means to get through life and the younger sister doesn’t need the money for anything other than to sooth her ego.
(and, just to make sure i address this: IF something so grave happens that the youngest’s financial situation is as bad or worse than her sister’s, the mom can and should change the will. as it is currently - with the information presented- i’d say the older daughter should get 100% of the money)
The sister has probably been understanding her entire life, since Emma needed so much help. Siblings of children with disabilities often feel they have to excel and be perfect to maintain family stability, and now she’s being punished for that
My sister and brother are 14 and 18 years older than me respectively. They are very much well set in their lives, where as I (23 at the time of writing this), am struggling hard being a single mom and the economy at the moment. My moms will is divided up to benefit me more monetarily as she doesnt really have assets at the moment like cars and houses. So the money is split three ways, but I would get a tad bit more as of right now. My brother and sister are more than understanding, considering the vast differences in our lives at the moment. But I think they key difference is that my mom has expressed that once I am in a better and more secure situation financially and what not, that it would go back to being even! I def dont think it's a matter of picking favorites but just a mother truly trying to figure out the best situation for her kids she will be leaving behind.
Yay! Congratulations on 100!? Wooooot! Love you all!
Justin comes on.
Morgan “I’m not going to cry”
Morgan: starts to cry!
To Morgan’s credit, it was a really sweet moment to appreciate Justin and how much he has supported you.
Jerry always makes me smile! As a trans guy I really appreciate positive male role models that help shape my own sense of masculinity and adulthood and so I appreciate Jerry immensely. I would love to be a father someday but is unsure how that will manifest in my life (if ever), Jerry not only makes me confident I'll find parenthood rewarding but provides reassurance that it isn't just DNA that makes a family, Jerry's joy and stories about fatherhood make me excited to one day be a dad and to cherish whatever form my future family comes in (even if its just me and a whole bunch of adopted animals)
When I saw that time stamp and thumbnail, I knew I was in for a treat, no a meal, no a five course dinner. 2+ hours? Thank you for this gift two hot takes crew.
I just found this podcast 2 months ago and have been binging it since. Any free five minutes, whenever I’m in the car, cleaning, etc. I made it just in time to hear the 100th episode and I can’t believe how much this community has grown. I’m so proud of y’all!!
THE WHOLE GANG IS HERE!!!SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ALL FOR THE BIG DAY!!
For Alejandra's second story, I think OP should have responded to the "we're your parents and you can't change that" by sending pictures of the adoption papers and "yes, actually, I can."
Morgan is out here making my pregnant ass cry. Cheers to 100, guys!
Eeek and congrats to you
I found the THT podcast over the summer of 22, and I was in such a dark period of my life. I started living alone for the first time, and I was so lonely. When I found Morgan and the family, I could listen and feel like I was never alone. Thank you Morgan for all your hard work ❤️
When Morgan started crying as she thanked Justin 😭😭 really made me cry. This is the only podcast I’ve listened to every single episode ever. Thank you for creating this. It has been my comfort space since 2021🤍.
Can’t wait for another year!
For the sister's inheritance story, I get that it is unfair, but if I was doing as well as Sam is, I think I would want the best for my sister and I would approve of the difference in dividing assests. I would at least try to compromise with my mom. If you're doing so well, why not be ok with giving your sibling a leg up?
YES currently getting my cleaning supplies together to clean while I listen. Can’t believe it’s been 100 episodes, I’ve been here since the beginning and have seen every episode MULTIPLE times 😂 congratulations! 🎉 love the long episodes
I couldn’t help but cry too when Morgan started crying over Justin 😫🥺❤️ it’s crazy the darkest moments sometimes bring out the greatest things to come
Frickin Morgan why did you make me cry so much in the Justin intro? 😭😭😭
We love you guys so much, you deserve everything good that's happened to you, and much more to come.
I’m honestly surprised Morgan and Justin haven’t known each other their whole lives, they just make a great team.
Found you guys at ep6, spent my pregnancy listening to you. I’m crying to see how far we’ve all come with two hot takes 💚💚 I love you guys!! Btw my son is 4m I found you guys before I even got pregnant so I feel like part of the gang 🥲
Oh my goodness, How is 100 already?? I remember finding your youtube shorts back when there were only like 3 or 4 episodes. I’m proud of your growth, and the growth of your wonderful rotating co-hosts and guests (I don’t want to misspell their names, but I love all of them.) I think what’s great is even when we don’t agree with you, or when you disagree with each other, you are open to hearing the other’s opinions and learning new things that contribute to your growth as a person and host. Can’t wait to see where you go next!!
1:14:43 I'm 100% on the mom's side. The world isn't a meritocracy, and equality isn't about giving everyone the same, is about giving everyone what they need. If my parents one day decided to go and give my sis and I 50/50 each and I'm that well set in life and she's struggling, I would give a part of mine to her, if not the total, wtf.
The first comment on Justin's second story is so absolutely wonderful. Great advice that covers the bases and explains the appropriate way to address the situation. I completely agree that the husband might gain feelings without even realizing until it is too late. It is wonderful that OP received so much help. I hope everything is ok with her and her husband.
WELL DONE! I started tearing up as soon as you started to speak. This is so amazing that you've made it to 100 episodes! You and all of your co-hosts have done an awesome job and should be so proud of the journey you've had so far. I'm always so excited for a new episode, your podcast is the best. Much love from your New Zealand fan xxx
justin is the GOAT - thanks for hooking up pod #1
1:34:22 morgan, you should read the book about Swedish death cleaning. its morbid but lovely.
My parents split a couple years ago and my father got married and he is exactly like the last story he wants us (my brothers) to accept his wife as our mom and she’s all for it. She is an evil woman who likes to get her way. On the other hand my moms bf always tells us that he doesn’t want to be our 2nd father only if we feel like he is, he would be totally fine with it. He doesn’t pressure us and always tells us that he just wants to be seen as someone we can count on and to see him as a friend which I totally like bc he lets us move and feel at our own pace.
I love how sweet you are all towards each other. I'll never stop watching and will support any podcasts or projects any of you guys have.
YESSSSS i’ve recently discovered this podcast and i’m just obsessed pretty much binge watched ur channel when i found you. so many stories have given me closure with you’re opinions and validation to some of the posts i’m able to relate to. ALSO HAPPY EPISODE 100!!!!!! so awesome justin’s starting his own podcast 🥂❤️🔥
The second story really hits home. Only one of my breasts wanted to grow. I had one pretty much flat one and the other one was severall sizes bigger. It affected my day to day life so much. I only had tops on that went almost all the way up to my neck. I went swimming in a bra and clothes. The way it affected my mental health and the way i always had to think when getting clothes. And the fear of not being accepted by the guy i liked. The woman who comments on her chest is so cruel. It probably took her alot of time to accept her body and be happy with the way she looks. Then for this other woman to try and tear her down! F*** her!!! She knows better then to comment on another womans breasts. The fact that she is able too be happy with her small chest is amazing! I wish i had someone like her to look up too when i was younger. This just makes me so mad. I ended up having surgery. To have two very different sizes is extremly inpractical lol. Noone should be bullied into having surgery. It is a choise that should be made by the person who had the body, and everyone else should shut up about it. I hope karma has come and bit the sister inlaw in the ass.
Since todays episode is about gratefulness, I wanted to say how grateful I am for y’all. I found two hot takes during one of the worst times of my life. I was in a toxic work environment and being able to hear y’all call stuff out when you see it was so comforting. It was also so amazing to get to zone out from real life and enjoy the feeling of community that comes with this show. It really hit me when Morgan said that this show started when she was struggling and this show came up on my feed when I was struggling.
two paths meant to cross
I've been waiting for this to watch specifically on RUclips, you know how hard it's been to not listen to the audio on Spotify?!? I'm pumped!!!
Congrats on the century episode Morgan, Lauren, and Alejandra!
happy 100 baby!!!! so happy to have come across this podcast last year - morgan, you're doing amazing sweetie!!! cant wait for a hundred more episodes 🧡✨
So sweet seeing her talking about each of the hosts with so much love!
I love Morgan so much she’s the sweetest person. The way she takes her time being thankful for everything and everyone 🤍
The way she says “I’m not gonna cry.” And then cries 🥺 the cutest 🥹🫶
CONGRATULATIONS TO 100 EPISODES! Thank you Morgan, and team for all of your time and effort. We really appreciate and love you for it! Sending love and hugs from Germany
You and Justin's relationship is SO SWEET to see! Get married already!!
omg the tears 🥺💗💗💗 Congratulations on 100 episodes!!! Here's to the new year full of great episodes and a lot of laughter! You guys have done amazing and I just love watching everyone's friendship on video, you can tell that this is a safe space to talk about sensitive topics and I just love it!! ❤
Morgan loving everyone and thanking everyone is so wholesome... not gonna lie I was crying with you when you were thanking Justin❤️❤️❤️
Love love love THT. Throughout the years, my friend circle has gotten smaller and listening to THT makes it feel like I’m talking/gossiping to friends. This podcast also introduced me to accept difference perspectives and be more open-minded, as well as put myself into check sometimes with my thoughts.
Two hot takes never disappoints! We appreciate you guys! Congrats on 100 episode:)
I truly cannot express how much I appreciate this show. When times have gotten hard, THT has been here to get me through. You deserve all the blessings headed your way💗
I can't believe that it's episode 100!!!! I've stuck with this channel for sooooo long but I'm so happy to be here! I don't consistently watch any other channels rn💕✌😊
Thank you all so much!!!!!!! You all are amazing and mean so much to us 🥹
We love your spirit and your empathy 🎉
Re: Justin’s second story. In therapy I learned to address an issue like that by saying, “When you do X, the story I make up is…” it’s not accusations, it’s being vulnerable about where you’re feeling insecure. I wouldn’t suggest banning him from their lives, but to just let him know how she is feeling, so he can be sensitive to it. Also therapy, if she hasn’t had it already.
Congratulations 🎉on 100 🎉 loved this show since day 1!! Thanks for bringing these topics to light and diving in. Some are just silly but many are really helpful to hear broken down. Mental health is so important!
Girl I’m crying cause the beginning! I adore this show and I love everyone who is involved. You all help me through the silence or moments in which I need something to fill my little void. I love you all lots!
Please find an update for the first story. I literally gasped out loud at that shit
lol I was listening to this as I was doing homework and I froze in complete shock
HAPPY 100TH EPISODE THT!! I LOVE YOU ALL (ALL THE HOSTS N CO-HOSTS) AND CONGRATS!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIME AND ENERGY YOU SHARE WITH US THROUGH YOUR CONVOS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE EPISODES EVERY WEEK AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT MORE YOU WILL DO THIS YEAR! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TEARS AND LAUGHS
I suffer with anxiety/depression so your podcast has helped so much, you all are beautiful and amazing. Thank you to Justin for helping Morgan give us this and thank you Morgan for following your dreams ❤️
I love this podcast so much. You guys all give such thoughtful insight and advice and truly seem like the type of friends anyone would be lucky to have. I hope you all continue with this podcast forever!!!
So much love put into this podcast and it shows. We’re lucky to have y’all and appreciate all of your hard work!!!
It’s been so comforting to watch you guys grow❤ from the start of THT to father knows something and now Justin’s podcast:) thank you guys for giving us a space to feel relaxed and happy
I’ve been watching you guys for maybe 8-9 months and I’ve never commented before but….this is my FAVORITE episode so far. Good job guys 🙌 this podcast has the BEST crew and I love how whole hearted and genuine you all are. I listen every Thursday and this podcast helps me get through my work shift. Thank you ❤️
Thank you all so much for providing one of the best podcasts I've had the pleasure to listen to. Not only are you all entertaining, but I can tell you're good and kindhearted people. I appreciate all the hard work you do, Morgan. Here's to MANY MORE hot takes.
Morgan, i love how sweet you arr pushing those who dont want to read to do it anyways but in a very sweet and encouraging way. Thats a great quality to have. And im always crying too so sweet.
1:32:47 yeah I hate to think about my parents passing 🥲 my Dad (49) has told me a few times what he thinks he’s gonna put in his will and I love and appreciate his wanting us to know but also this convo makes me want to Scream 😭😅
WAIT CONGRATULATIONS HEHEHEHEH YAAAY! HAPPY HUNDRED! HERE SINCE EPISODE ONE AND GOING FOR FOREVER! YOU'VE SAVED ME IN WAYS I CAN'T BEGIN TO EXPLAIN! FAMILY AWAY FROM FAMILY! LOVE FROM INDIAAAA 🥹👼🤍
So listen, business idea. Take the best stories, make a Jerry playlist, have him read them, and let him go through any and all tangents he wants and give everyone dad advice by himself. I love when he reads the stories and his tangents. They would be the perfect body double podcast episodes for ADHD productivity purges
His own podcast @fatherknowssomething is pretty close to this :)
My goodness! I’ve been here since the start, im so proud of all of you and everything you’ve made and what you guys have accomplished!
This episode made my skin clear, im now free of all student debt.
Morgan, thank you so much for keeping me sane through 2022. Your show has always been a safe space for me that I could always go to and for a moment forget about the horrors that 2022 brought to my life. Wishing you and your loved ones all the best!
When you were crying thanking Justin for everything he’s done I was doing my makeup and started tearing up 😭😂 I had to suck in the tears lmao couldn’t ruin the look
Literally only one story in but I love Lauren's reading voice. Stoked for a long episode!
WOOO!!
@@Lauren-ib3ok 😄😄
Morgan, I am a 32 year old Minnesota born and raised work from home business owner and stepmom of four. I have been listening and watching your show on RUclips since the beginning and I cannot even explain to you how much joy it brings me!! I’m sure from your perspective it’s hard to wrap your head around who your listeners are. But we are real people who can relate to you and these stories very well! There is no other podcast that I listen to more while I am working at home on my couch. I get giddy when I see a new episode pop up every Thursday when I am done with my babysitting job. I have honestly worked this show into my life and I want you to know that your hard work has not gone unnoticed! You are all fantastic and one of my top choices for entertainment!! Thank you for all that you have done!!
