January Content :)
🕑 Added 2025-01-16 22:37:46 +0000 UTCJust wanted to update you all! Now that I got the episode for 200 sorted I have time to record and get January content rolling for you.
Are there any stories you want us to tackle? Any themes we should get into? The purposefully petty idea Justin came up with in this week's episode excites me, but let me know your thoughts! We also have one more group tea for the Unhinged tier in January so be on the look out for that! Tarot was so fun (Thank you Martina!!), but we're diving into Reddit stories and sharing.

I posted my story on the THT subreddit about my father’s adoption story and him finding his birth mom. I think a theme of adoption or found families would and could be beneficial and potentially help others in similar situations, positive or negative. Here’s the post https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoHotTakes/s/ULuzmXRzaP
Two Hot Takes
have reached out to both before :(
Marcella Casarella
You should do a reacting to confessions on Reddit
Elise
I would love an episode of just updates from previous stories or another episode with two perspectives of the same story. Also if you can I think it would be super fun if you could get Brittany Broski on for an episode or Sarah Baska!!
Amelia Olson
Final fall out from the holidays? I also loved Justin’s idea as well!
Olivia Gray
Maybe something with crazy New Year’s resolutions gone wrong? Or something with resolutions. Always hard for me to keep going with them, so I feel like it could be motivating 😂
Ana Glazier
Updates from previous stories!!
Sewer Piggy
idk if this would be good for the podcast but i think the sub "regretful parents" is super interesting
Mary
For a Valentine's day episode would you be interested in doing a singles/bad first date/dating horror stories
Nora Lathan-Long
Came here to say the same!!
Eline
I would love an episode that only focus on updates for previous stories! :-D
Ella Wild
Purposely petty
Sara Tressler
I know you mentioned a true crime theme down the line!! Maybe a r/ let’s not meet Episode (even before Halloween for us true crime girlies) or a collab with morbid!!! A huge fan of the show and so appreciative for the whole two hot takes crew!!!
Shayla Roseborough
What about weaponized incompetence vs purposely petty/justified asshole? They’re kind of similar, but with different intentions!!!
Sara
I think a quick recap with the title of the original story and podcast episode would be very helpful for most of us who want updates to prior stories and good enough information for new listeners to a story.
Emma Frey
What about a weaponized incompetence theme? That ending one in ep 200 feels a little like that too 👀
Lorin Booth
I’d love an episode dedicated to updates on old stories!
Shai
That one looong story about a guy cheating with his bff, that turns out is his step sis and he's the father of her 3 kids
April Ames-Harrison
I know y’all have done an episode that was animal themed before, but I would love another animal themed episode! 🥰
Olivia
I think it would be cool to do an episode around work stories. There's a lot of potential for unhinged-ness there... hooking up with co- workers? Crazy karens? Asshole bosses?!
Kelly McKinley
How about “Justifiable Asshole” too?
Alexys Coleman
Love me some updates and family drama lol!!
Shakiya Trammel
I’m so ready for updates for the stories we’re invested in
Emma Bartnick
I would love a theme that is focused around college issues! I think a lot of listeners are in this era of life and struggling with weird roomies, professors, new towns, etc
Rhiannon
I know I already commented but I had another idea. I think it would be so cool to have an animated guest appearance. Similar to how Hot Ones does it. Not sure how it would work out logically but I think some sort of art theme with someone experienced in art would be cool! Maybe the artist could animate themselves into it to make it look like they’re sitting next to you.😂
Jessica
I found this story a little while back that took me on a roller coaster! If you ever do a theme like "That Escalated Quickly", this would be a great one to use! :) I'll link the OP's account since there's multiple updates: https://www.reddit.com/user/OddDot5178/submitted/
Alisha
Maybe include the clip of you reading the original story? I feel like actually reading them doesn’t take too long
Elizabeth Harrelson
I love updates. some friendship stories would be cool too
Michael
oh, I had figured distancing herself from the show was better for her job prospects.. Not even sure where I got that idea. I did not realize it was taking a personal toll. I am curious... was the toll due to the stories themselves and having to think about and discuss them? Or was it fan interactions she felt obligated to respond to? And finding that too time consuming and draining? You don't need to get too detailed. You don't need even need to provide an answer. It's ok if the question is too intrusive and you don't want to say anymore. I liked her presence on the show. Whether I agree or disagree with a view, I always thought she put a lot of thought into her responses. Both Lauren and Alejandra... I like their sincerity and thoughtful responses.
Piper
Tell her we love her!!
Michael
My hot take... I think you could get away with a brief summary (they were cliff notes in my day!), maybe a link to the original episode in the description, then people could get a twofer... an excuse for a double episode by watching the original and then coming back to the current episode with the update.
Two Hot Takes
We chatted a bit about it this past weekend and she's just so much happier offline. The podcast really took a toll on her mental health :/ I don't think she'll ever be back BUT I shall always keep trying
Two Hot Takes
We get a little of that in the ep 200! That story through me for a loop lol
Two Hot Takes
My minions haha you got me laughing. Thanks to some amazing Patreon fam I have a doc with stories and if they have an update or not. Shall have to put my assistant on it. Question though: when I do a updates ep like that.. is it good enough if I give a spark notes of the original or what helps best understand the story?
Vanessa
I would love an all updated episode or “professionally petty” Theme!!
Michael
I am always interested in updates. Every time you read a story and there is no update, I die a little inside. I want you to go back to the beginning! Any stories that ended with no updates, but have been updated since you recorded the episode. Look, I don't read reddit. I barely know it exists. I come to you and your minions to feed my desire for outrage, shock, and schadenfreude. Feed me! and, thank you. thank you for the thousands of stories of entertainment you and your minions have provided. I look forward to thursdays and this is like the only patreon to which I regularly sub.

This story- I have a child with allergies and I don’t think I’d handle it as well as op https://www.reddit.com/r/BORUpdates/comments/1g2uhdo/aita_for_throwing_my_pregnant_sils_groceries_away/?rdt=54924
Yesenia Cardenas
i’m not sure if this would be a but tricky to plan, but i think a ‘this didn’t age well’ theme would be really cool! like one where the story has updates that are like extra shocking or contradicting as compared to the original story post. :)
Quinn Tribolet
When will you do the Two sides to every story episode again! Love that one!!
Rhiannon
Morgan you HAVE to do a pet theme with your ponies!
Erin
I always thought it would be fun if you did an episode where you read the title and have your guest guess if OP will be in the right or wrong before you read the whole story. This would probably work best with AITAH posts. I feel like a lot of times the title can be a bait and switch so it could just be a fun little guessing game you play before getting the whole context!
Hanna
If it's possible I would love one episode with the theme that the spouse of op or the one op is writing about found the post and responden.
Leudin Dominguez
Honestly idk if I’m just in a chaotic mood or what, but I want stories that leave me feeling shook, lost for words, turning heads, and messed up and then psychoanalyze it as the pseudo-therapist friend that I am. 😂😂 Also super excited for the upcoming group tea!^_^
Piper
I’d love to see Alejandra on another episode!!
Mads Robinson
Oh yes. Absolutely. I love petty revenge shit 😂
Mads Robinson
Can you do some in law stories? I am STRUGGLING with some horrible in law drama (I am completely no contact with all of my in laws, and yet they still try to contact me 🫠) I would love to hear some opinions on MIL and SIL drama !!!
Riley
LOVE the purposefully petty idea
