Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Justin! This week we have a random assortment of stories that beg the question of did they react too hard? Overall though it just felt chaotic.. which was much needed after such a difficult week. We're thinking of everyone in our THT family right now, and wishing you health, wellness, and happiness.

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-hosts Justin and Michaela! Our very last episode of the year, so it felt fitting to give air time to the things we are leaving behind in the new year. For example.. A partner that punishes you with domestic labour at home after a fight or a future MIL that thinks her son is babying his fiancé by just being loving.. 2025 aint got time for that!

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Bailey Sarian! This week's episode has us diving into stories where we question if the affected parties will be "making up." Whether it's a friend asking OP to not wear makeup around her husband, a wife who has a peculiar hobby, or a relationship in shambles over ice cream.. We will see if they can get through these issues. Luckily we have the true crime makeup queen herself here to help shed light and a little bit of hope!

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Michaela Okland! After seeing wicked a few times Michaela helped craft this week's theme.. genuinely self-absorbed? Meaning, are the people in these stories only thinking about themselves or is there something else going on? How else can you explain a husband wanting his wife to have a c-section or someone's partner trying to have them sell their inheritance?! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
