Not adding salt to your meals is wild
Factssss 😂
Most seasoning do have enough salt in them, I’d say it definitely depends on what you’re cooking & OP knew what the meal needed and he didn’t so he should’ve stfu 😂
@@cacklinggooseandco Lolol I was more referring to Morgan when she compensates for her potato chips by not adding salt when she cooks loll
@@Ssf_55when she said that I was like I’m not surprised
I haven’t even started the episode yet but this comment killed me
I’m so sorry but talking about adding salt to eggs like it’s a hack is so funny to me
Hahaha not a hack by any means. Just the one thing I’ll actually add salt to
hot sauce and catsup for me! Yum Yum gang!
Eggs without salt is sad. I will literally put salt in Mt hand and eat it if my mouthful of eggs has no salt.😊

HOLY SHIT. The bride story is 100% the best, juiciest store there has ever been on this podcast. I was beyond invested. I still am
Which story was that??
@@Imjustkendall the only bridal story in the episode. The one about the bride profiting from the bachelorette party
57:13
I`ve heard it everywhere, pretty sure I`ve even read it on Bored Panda. Such a crazy story. This is either one crazy ex bride who must now hugely regret her actions bc everyone knowing her has heard the whole story now or it´s the most 2024 marketing gag for a book or lifetime movie to come since op is already having an Instagram with updates and added a copyright and talks about writing a book
She sounds like an absolutely crazy entitled b****. I absolutely would not attend her wedding. That message she sent to the bridesmaids was insane. To twist it and say I decided to spend the money however I wanted instead of I did the right thing and paid you guys back is crazy
The husband picking his mom over is wife is wilddddd. I would be getting divorce papers started the next day
Same.
My husband told me he talked to a guy before, and he asked my husband if you were on a boat and you were wrecked and could only save your wife or your mother, who would you choose?
My husband said he wasn't sure (we were dating at the time)
And the guy answered the answer should be your wife. When you're married, you are meant to be one, and the Bible says you would separate from your parents. (We are Christian). My now husband took that to heart.
Having him act like this is RIDICULOUS, and what's worse is she's pregnant with his baby.
Picking his mom over his wife and kid's lives that might've been in danger.😳 He called her an hour later wtf an hour later?!
I don't even know why she's still married to him.
He said, “only my mom is allowed to lie to me”
FOR REAL!! SHE NEEDS TO DIVORCE HIM NOW.
Man if my partner said “get your friend to drive you and stay with you” I’d be writing THEIR name on the birth certificate lmao
Lmao fr
Story 5: Every time I thought it could not get worse it got progressively WORSE 😭 Op’s family and brother dodged a bullet!
story 3 - he literally had no reason on earth to call his mom instead of going straight home to get his pregnant wife, he could call her later... 😭 what about when anything happens to their kid?! is she going to cause a scene for every single thing? thats terrifying
Literally...also something doesn't add up...in theory...they BOTH were supposed to be at the hospital. So after 30 minutes and he didn't hear the emergency people screaming "SHE'S GOING INTO LABOR" he should have been concerned then and WELL BEFORE then
EXACTLYYY
Deadaaaaaaassssssssss
There are so many underlying issues with this story. His mother keeps ruining events because he enables her. If their child has an accident, he won't be there either. He made a decision to call his mother and tell her, knowing what could happen because he benefits from their dynamic. He left his potentially labouring high and dry without a second thought. Plus, how on Earth would she know it was a heart attack and not anxiety if she hadn't been seen by a Dr? My lovely mother-in-law would literally have a heart attack and not tell us for days if I was in labour. My husband would call his Dad, a friend of my MILs and an ambulance if that happened. He wouldn't abandon me in labour.
whats craziest to me is that she wouldnt have even had a "heart attack" if he didnt call her... like that alone boils my blood
Story 1 - if he so badly needed the dish without salt, he could’ve asked OP to set aside 1 or 2 portions for him without salt. There were no need for those antics.
Petty and spoiled as fuck. 😂
I find it funny that he added an additional soy sauce as if that's better? 😂
Yeah she explained exactly why and he deliberately didn’t get any because he knew best, even tho cooking isn’t his thing🙄. And he trusted her enough to cook, but because there were two times she may have over salted he forced everyone to have it how he likes? Idk, controlling people like that always start with the small things that you feel silly making a fuss about; and gradually get worse from there.
OMG THE SWAN ICE SCULPTURE BRIDE IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. Every time I hear a podcaster mention her there’s more and more craziness. The EARRINGS?! Wow.
Story 3: What kind of grandmother prioritizes herself over her grandchild? Her pretending to have a heart attack to prevent husband from going to pick up OP is bad enough but for her to do that when she thought OP was IN LABOR indicates a horrific level of enmeshment and control that borders on emotional incest. This MIL cannot stand to not be the most important person in her son's life and OP needs to contact divorce attorneys right now; Husband sounds just a few steps away from that one asshole on Reddit who let his mother assault his pregnant wife and then sided with his mother because MIL convinced him that he couldn't have fathered a girl.
The jealous kind. Sounds like something mine would do. And I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with a little girl she’s super jealous of so I wouldn’t be surprised if she did something 😅
It seems like these kinds of mothers start to act more "needy" and erratic once the son is starting a family. It reminds me of when a child acts up for attention after the new baby comes home.
Divorce
Story -3 my sister died, giving birth to her babies, and nobody ended up making it in the situation. There is no excuse for him to miss the birth of his children. In the sense of this is equally to me as serious has a heart attack because on my end, nobody would’ve ever predicted the outcome, but it happened.. it’s completely unjustified. How dare he not be there? He has no reason not to be there giving birth should not be put aside. It is a very serious thing happening to a woman’s body.
I'm so sorry for your family's loss, that must of been so hard.
It’s “877 CASH NOW” lmfao not “five now”
Gotta love Morgan for messing up not only sayings but not commercial jingles lol!
I KNOW. I love her but she cracks me up. 😂
Lmao! It’s to the point where I’ve never ONCE heard her get a saying right, and if she actually did one time I’d be shocked 😂
“If it isn’t true, then why do I believe it?” Btch the way I CACKLED 😭😭😭
Story 1: Stop cooking for BF. If he only wants dishes cooked his way, then he can cook for himself.
💯💯
Exactly, I usually salt my dishes and my bf don’t like salt in his food. But when I cook, he eat what I have he don’t control me and don’t let me salt, and when he cooks I let him cook to his liking and I just add my own soy sauce later, it really is just the mutual respect tbh
Amen
Period
Fascinating video, Let's stop taking relationship and family for granted. I have battled depression since my wife left me. I have tried all I can to make her see that I love her with everything I am made of but she has insisted on leaving. This has made me so empty, and I do not know what to do. I can barely function properly at work. I am frustrated and miserable. I really miss her.
I'm keen on meeting the counsellor you're talking about. What steps should I take?
Thank you for this information. I have just looked her up on Google. impressive.
Hang in there brother, you’re not alone. I too know this feeling and am also trying to work through it. I started going to church and that’s been helping me a lot, I saw the previous comment suggested a spiritual counselor that also seems like a solid way to go. Reach out to those around you if you need help
@@jasonx8771homie is a spam bot. You're very kind though.
Hang in there Mike of there is a way to change it it'll come of not there will be a lesson in the hurt . Life will bring whatever is for you
Salt, acid, fat, and heat are the four base components of cooking, sodium is an electrolyte, it’s what allows us to retain water. The danger with high sodium diets is that salt stiffens blood vessels, and this stiffening contributes to heart disease. This is a big problem in the US because of preservatives in food processing; if you’re cooking at home, using salt to taste is totally fine.
Also the name of one of my favorite cookbooks/series by Samin Nosrat! She’s amazing.
Yes!! This!! Also we can easily switch common table salt for sea or pink himalayan salt. Pink salt is not even salty 😅
As a medical professional thank you. I had someone ask me the other day how to eat no sugar at all?? I had to explain you need sugar, salt, and carbs to live. Society demonizes the food rather than the real issue.
@@mediocrebankai3114 I've had issues with non-diabetic hypoglycemia since childhood, and spoke to a doctor about it as an adult when I finally realized it wasn't normal to have to split my brought school lunches up throughout the day lol they helped me learn more about balancing meals and how carbs, salt, and proteins are always necessary for helping each other be properly processed in your body and keep energy up. When I hear people talk about no carb/sugar diets then talk about how sick they feel during it, or the "keto flu" I just want to face-palm 😅
Story 4: "religious delusions schizophrenia" is an actual clinical diagnose, and this guy is either the most arrogand and self important man on earth or he needs to go to a psychiatrist like yesterday
yup, more often than not if someone thinks they are a phrophet or a god etc, they are schizophrenic or have some other personality disorder
Was literally thinking about this. Reminded me of Jeanette McCurdy's book she had an ex who this happened to...
I was thinking this or how some people with bipolar when experiencing extreme manic episodes will start to shows signs like this as well. It’s the drastic change *so* quickly that’s really concerning. Especially with children in the home as well and already looking for a church space.
Please tell me why people refuse to acknowledge psychological diagnosis when they clearly see a psychological issue. As someone with a psychology degree who also wants to get her doctorate, I am baffled by how people can just easily pass by psychological issues and other people and themselves
Idk a lot about this but I’ve personally seen this happen when a person with bipolar disorder started abusing psychedelics. (To be clear by “abusing” I mean taking “heroic” doses every other day to every 4 days)
That story 5 IS WILDDDDD... THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE A MOVIE
take your own advice morgan! you don't listen to music and you don't use salt?? GIRL, BE NORMAL (joking, love you)
I am farrrr from normal 😆
story 1: when morgan started saying "i...personally...." and lauren goes "villianized", i DIED
Me too , I called it along with her lol
32:13 May I just add- she called him saying she was giving birth and after he disappeared for an HOUR he called saying the friend should take her to the hospital. He didn’t offer to call an ambulance when he saw he couldn’t make it, call her friend for her or anything. He assumed that for an hour his wife was in the process of giving birth all alone and didn’t do anything. If I for some reason couldn’t make it in time to take my partner to the hospital I am at least calling an ambulance, a trusted neighbor or a friend
Agreed... but he could have called an ambulance for his mother which would make much more sense. Things are only going to get worse when the baby is born.
@@sarahm9968 oh absolutely agree! I just meant that even if he was in a position where he couldn’t go for x reason he totally messed up by not making sure to have a plan b himself
He called his mom immediately when his wife was “in labor” but couldn’t immediately call his wife to tell her his mother was “having a heart attack”?? Wrong on so many levels.
salt doesn’t just add “saltiness” it brings out the flavors!!! you need the salt to taste the food and the spices you add
story 5: this is not the first time she's acted like this. she absolutely has taken other peoples money and burned it before, that's why this was everyone's last straw with her/they wouldn't save her this time.
The face that the bother still wanted to marry her. He better NOT call his family for financial help😅
Story 3: Divorce him. I know there is a reoccurring joke on Reddit and on this podcast for how quickly we jump to divorce, but in this case, I 100% think that the OP needs to divorce the husband. I am married to a man, who is a recovering mothers boy. And let me tell you, if they love you, and want to get better for you, they will. I now know that my husband has my back 100%, and because he stood up for me, and started holding boundaries with his mom, my relationship actually got better with my mother-in-law. We have a great relationship now, and are very friendly with each other.
The fact that her husband did not come running to her when he thought she was in labor, and now also knowing that her own mother passed away during childbirth….astounds me. I don’t know how you can come back from that. I don’t know how you can be OK being married to somebody who would choose their lying and attention seeking mother over your child and the mother of your child. I couldn’t imagine disrespecting myself and honestly disrespecting my child like that. Is he going to be there for your kid if Something Happens? Or is his mother going to continue to have fake emergency after fake emergency, and his kid will be put on the back burner?
Again, I couldn’t imagine disrespecting myself and my child that much. Because if this situation wasn’t a wake up call, I am telling you he is never going to get better. I really hope that she does consider reaching out to divorce lawyers and seeing what her options are. Because if she doesn’t, she is in for a decades long miserable marriage.
100% agreed + congrats on achieving the impossible (rehabbing a momma’s boy). TBH I thought riding a unicorn to meet Superman in the 1st row at a free Taylor Swift concert was more plausible, so kudos to u (both).
When Everyone Loves Raymond was a big hit, I could hardly watch it. I def couldn’t laugh. That was pretty much MY life at that time, except the Golden Child was my BIL, not my husband, + we (me + MIL) never had the occasional warm moments LOL.
Completely agree with everything you said. OP deserves better, and she's not going to get it with him.
I also think he doesn't want to be at the birth and is using his mom as an excuse because:
A) he didn't have to call his mom before picking up his wife,
B) there was no reason for him to ignore her calls when he was with his mom, and
C) He was way too quick to say he wasn't going to be there. Labor can take well over a day, especially for first time births. For him to just say he'd be tied up for the duration was a total cop out.
Lol you coward. People will divorce over stupid shit.
the update on story 3 literally made my jaw drop. how dare he leave OP alone, knowing that she has an extreme personal trauma related to childbirth.
Story 5 was a genuine saga.
Story 2, I learned the painfully awkward way at 18 not to make fun of people who can’t use chopsticks. I’m very good at it and ended up teasing someone who had mobility issues due to fetal alcohol syndrome. I will never make that mistake again.
I’m so sorry. Moments like that you carry with you forever. Yes lesson learned, and awful for saying that. But dealing with guilt is hard.
I think morgan and other people are jumping the gun here by equating it to people with disabilities. OP never said he had a disability
Yeah, he def would have mentioned it if he was disabled. The point is that pointing out someone not using chopsticks and making fun of it isn’t classy either way. You shouldn’t have to know that a person has a diagnosis to just mind your business lmao. The ~studied abroad syndrome~ stuff adds to why the lady seemed super annoying and condescending.
There’s lots of reasons why someone can’t do something or can’t do it the “normal way.” It’s good you learned and grew from that experience. The world will be a better place if people respected others and left some things unsaid.
*S3:Mommy Dearest -* What’s most baffling is how OP’s “husband” can’t admit that his wife was forced to prove that his mother would sabotage her labor, and when she did, and he let her, he said OP was just as bad as his mother. Why? Becuz she was right? *Gimme his number.*
I HATE that so many women don’t know -who- what they’re with until they’re pregnant. This scenario could be a HORROR movie premise. Nightmare.
Morgan, whilst what you’re doing with your amazing podcast is absolutely enough; I think it is so admirable for you to have continued your OT registration.
I hope you’re so proud of yourself for creating a space where you can offer these insightful and educated takes and also one where you remain in touch with the majority of listeners.
As a fellow health care gal, I have so much respect for you 🤍
As another healthcare worker, and someone who has fallen on hard times at several points in life, I fully encourage ANYONE who went to school and holds a license to NEVER let it lapse. You never know when you’ll need a backup plan, extra income, etc. Plus you worked SO hard to get it, you deserve to always have it. I’m so glad Morgan is maintaining her OT license, and I hope she continues to do so ❤
The way my jaw dropped at the “final” update of story 5.
OW
MY
GOD!
WOW the 5th story will officially go down in THT history
Story 3: DIVORCE immediately. This man will continue to prioritize his mother over not only you, but your child. And for him to say he felt like he was being gaslit and manipulated while he was gaslighting and manipulating OP was gross. His mother needs to let her son live his own life, but it seems like she will always be competing with OP to be his priority.
To be fair, and kind of the point Lauren made, most people would feel entrapped in a relationship like that with their mom. Obviously most people have a huge sense of care and obligation towards their parent, especially if this behavior from the MIL has persisted his entire life. He absolutely has a right to feel manipulated, because that is what’s happening, but unfortunately he’s still wrong because overall he’s being manipulated more so by his mom and not his wife. I think it’s fast and easy to call people gross when you’re only hearing the perspective of the person they wronged, but it doesn’t help people break down and analyze these intense family dynamics.
Salt is life.
Agreed. But not msg 😂 so unnecessary
@AzothDee that's not true, from a culinary standpoint msg is crucial to the specific flavor of some dishes. As long as you aren't over using it msg shouldn't be villainized just like salt shouldn't be.
Salt used to be expensive 😂
Saaame. I buy sea salt because I want to feel it crunch btwn my teeth like ice cubes 😆😆
Fr why else would they make those bumper stickers and shirts that say "Salt Life" 😂
The chopsticks thing is crazy. Let people eat how they wanna eat. It's not a CRIME to not use chopsticks with Asian foods.
WAIT!!! Story 5- did anyone else see on TikTok that a prominent surgeon recently had his prominent social media manager leave on alleged weird terms…? Hmm
Assuming you can't/don't wanna say the names of them, is this also happening anywhere on insta/CZcams/Twitter so that I can go there and get info on what you're talking about? Tiktok is banned in my country.
I honestly didn’t think the story was real but knowing this part makes me really question it lol
I’m still listening now. But I don’t think it’s Santina involved in the story. I think she left because it went public and didn’t want to deal with the fallout managing Dr. Miami’s socials because she has her own brand to worry about
@@oliviawittman2877 I 100% agree. This was definitely not a real story. It makes absolutely no sense about the surgeon paying for her boobs but not the AirBNB? He'd risk his licenses know they can track the funds for the surgery within the same hospital but not pay the AirBNB which wouldn't have been tracked? Yeah right. And the wife just "happened' to see his "patient" during a consultation? When was the last time a doctors spouse popped IN THE ROOM with the patient to see them or hallway? 😂
@@ndlamont01well it’s not an ethics violation to not take money for a surgery that you perform…. He probably just had to pay the facility fee to the hospital to book the OR.
I love how Morgan ALWAYS reads the stories with full conviction of the OP even if she disagrees.
STORY 5 HOLY SHIT. IF THIS IS TRUE- OHMYGOD 😭😭😭😭 THE WAY IT KEPT GETTING WORSE. THE TWISTS AND TURNS?? OP WE NEED A 3 PART DOCUMENTARY ON THIS
Reesa Teesa style!
Story 4: this is a lot more serious than OP realizes. I saw a few patients that had this specific delusion working in an inpatient psych ward. He doesn’t need an ultimatum, he needs anti-psychotics. One patient I remember clearly was even able to convince other patients that they should worship and pray to him. After a couple of weeks on antipsychotic meds, the delusions went away. He was a really pleasant person. I hope he’s doing okay now, this was a few years ago.
Honestly, it's safer to leave now before it escalates. Forget waiting for ultimatums. People who take themselves this seriously may see this as an opportunity for "punishment for rebelling."
I couldn't even sleep next to this guy and feel safe.
My aunt was married to a man who had a psychosis issue. At one point he believed my aunt and cousin were devils and needed to die. He was hospitalized, received treatment, and was stable afterwards for decades. My aunt died of cancer and he remarried to a very "crunchy" woman who preferred oils over medical care. So he stopped his medication. He beheaded her a few months later. I couldn't understand my aunt staying with him after his initial psychotic break. Given the ultimate outcome with the second wife, I'd agree with the advice people have been posting that she needs to demand treatment and protect her family.
@@h8a1c3 😱
For story 5, I’d be petty and have the party dine and ditch on the bride. Get the most expensive foods, apps, wines. Then leave her to deal with the bill.
My first thought was definitely not going but I think the best choice would be to go on the bachelorette trip & ruin it for her every chance I got. I guarantee she gets away with stuff like this a lot.
Story 5 - I’m lovingggg the length of the story and all the updates!! You should do more stories that are lengthier and juicy!!!
Story 3, instead of calling that a test, call it an emergency drill that proved he is the worst person to ensure his wife and child's safety and life. This is not a small issue. He should go down the list of people this woman may need to advocate for her in a medical emergency. If she trusts this man in an emergency, she is screwed, tell him to waddle off.
Why did story 3 tell husband she lied? She should have said it was a “false alarm” (an actually common thing). Make him feel like the a-hole he is
Morgan’s response for story 3 was awesome. Man if this happening didn’t open his eyes nothing will
I need Charlotte Dobre to be a guest on here please please please Morgan!!!!! Pleeeeaasseee
YES!!!! it would be such a good episode
Yes!!! Would love to see that collaboration!!
Yes that would be amazing!!!
i was thinking the same thing omgg!!! we need an ep w our petty potato queen
this has been mentioned before, and Morgan has said that she has reached out to Charlotte but not got a response, but someone else mentioned that Charlotte is quite private and doesn't always pick up on collab requests. Personally I have not seen Charlotte collab with anyone else but do agree she would be great on this podcast, but think you need to leave these comments on Charlotte's page :)
We even got bonus update at the end. Great episode. OP won’t end up going down for defamation I’m pretty sure for it to count as legal defamation it has to be a LIE that causes direct financial or social loss. So long as she was truthful in her story, she’ll be fine ☮️
It's wild that in the 3rd, OP's husband calls his mum when his wife is in labour, but does not call his wife to let her know what's going on
I literally lost
My god damn shit for number 5. I have never heard something so twisty, so juicy, so amazing in my entire life. I NEEEEEEED.
As someone who has had breast augmentation, I can’t believe that that bride expected to have a bachelorette while we’re covering from it. I know some people feel perfectly fine after their surgery. I however, did not do well for the very first week. Not because of any complications, but simply because it was surgery. She didn’t expect to have an actual bachelorette. She expected everyone to show up and take care of her so that she wouldn’t have to do anything during recovery. She sounds absolutely nuts!
How did the wife get the address? She probably accessed patient records either on her own or with the help of this doctor’s staff. This is JUICY AF
It is easier than you think to find someone. Ugh I can’t stand cheaters.
Wasn't the Airbnb the Drs parents old house.
5: Oh man, would I have loved to be a fly on the wall when the bride explained all this to her fiancé. I imagine it went like 😫 "BAAABE, you know this wedding has made me a little crazyy."
"BABEEEE the wedding made me stressed so much so I committed a crime and stole from people...also I'm cheating on you...bit that's because I'm sTrEsSeD"
@@hayamirin6795 🥺 "Before I say anything, I think we all can admit we've said and done some things we didn't mean while planning for this wedding." 👉👈
So for story 2, I get where you guys are coming from. I’m autistic and things like speaking, learning how to tie my own shoes, nail clipping etc. took me so long just to figure out in life. I actually had to go to OT for a little while because of it. And there were people like this, who essentially said I shouldn’t belong because I didn’t know how to do these things.
So I understand the point you were trying to make. People may have different reasons for wanting to do things a certain way, or even have reasons to NEED to do things a certain way. We shouldn’t be villainizing them for doing these things because they aren’t able to do them. People like OP’s friend are why autistic people struggle so much with mental health and why they feel like they don’t fit it. And this leads to them wanting to….you get the gist.
So I’m very glad I have the friends and family I do, because they are either are autistic, or they know what it’s like living or being around a person with it(because of me).
So thanks for going into OT Morgan. It’s great to know that you were helping people that really needed it, and coming from someone who has being in a situation of needing to go, it’s so awesome and inspiring.
People who use this logic for excluding people should also think that every child with a tutor should just give up... However, I'm sure this reasoning only suits them when it's not their kid or some specific group they don't like.
We all need help at some point, and these people are not excluded from this unless they are some immaculate star being lol.
also autistic and had a hard time tying my shoes, holding a pencil, etc
Story 2: I'm Chinese and I would never scoff at someone for not knowing how to use chopsticks. It's not easy if you didn't grow up using them. The wife's friend sounds miserable. and I think what the OP did was hilarious.
I love how Morgan checks in with all of us now while we're driving & cleaning
The no salt thing is madness 😂
This episode is definitely one of the best you’ve done.
All the stories were great but that bride story… that’s going to be hard to top 😅
Thank you for all the effort you put into these!
Story 3: I'm concerned for when the child actually arrives because how many times is he going to leave his child at like school because his mommy needs him. Or how many events is he going to miss out on because of his mother. This is a classic mommy's boy, he is always going to prioritize his mom even over his wife and child. I typically don't cheer for divorce for majority of these reddit stories however in this case I think a divorce may be warranted given how many times he is willing to throw his wife on the back burner for his mother's every need. I highly doubt the husband will set boundaries and will continue this behavior so divorce and full custody for the child 100%.
For me I didn’t care about the fact that his mum allegedly had an emergency so he had to go, what I cannot fathom is the fact that after half an hr, she called & no response, after an hr he asks can you get your friend to take you? (Which lets not forget is sth they (all) argued about before when she voiced her concerns).. Like hello? so you ignored her for an hour (or maybe an hr & half if OP meant an hour after her call) when you clearly told her you’re on your way? Which she obviously did not consider calling the friend coz she was waiting for him coz he said HE’S ON HIS WAY?
@@soya9287 100%!!!!! all around this husband clearly doesn't care about anyone else other than his mommy.
This bridezilla is giving Anna Delvey/ Sorokin 😂
Ive clicked so fast....been needing this episode for the day I had
SAME
Factsssss just clicked on here to see if they posted 🫡
SAME :(
me tooooo ugh I was WATCHINGGGG my homepage waiting for it
girl ME. TOO.
Currently 31 weeks pregnant with a little girl my MIL is super jealous about. She makes everything about her, even Mother’s Day she wants Hubs to be with her all day etc and my son’s birth she was cussing me out for not letting her be in the room because her son was going through so much that day (???)….everything. She wants/needs to be the number one woman in his life. Even refuses to buy anything off the registry I made because I ‘don’t know what baby actually needs’ like it’s not our second child 😂 Interested to see what she will do with this one 😅
Omg keep us updated
I had a stepmother who used to fake seizures all the time. One night, she came in the front door from smoking. It was just us. She "fell into a seizure" and just laid on the floor. Having seen her ACTUAL seizures, she was just laying there for a attention, chewing her tongue. No movement. I did nothing. She got up minutes later grumpy I did t give her attention. Hypochondriac. She died after leaving us and becoming homeless.
Damn... we went from her faking a seizure to her leaving, becoming homeless and passing away.
I'm sorry.
Story number 3 - Divorce babe, divorce. He will never support you and your needs.
@@gigglelifeaway2607 don't be. She was abusive and her karma got her in the end
39:27 I almost started sobbing, MIL is diabolical, and I hope OP gets everything she needs🥺
OH MY GODDDD😭 I didn’t think it’s could get sadder but it did
Story 1, I’ve been on all sides of this. I prefer not to salt my food if possible because my grandma and mom are diabetic so they’re extremely sensitive to the taste of salt. I’d rather each person just salt to taste, though not all dishes can handle that, so sometimes I do separate portions. I’ve also had people cook for me that really do over season and it makes me sick. Buuuut I also can’t stand when someone tries to control or hover when I’m cooking. There was a way for both OP and boyfriend to handle this better.
Yeah, I don't put all the blame on the BF. He wasn't stopping OP from adding more salt, he just didn't want to hand it to her because he thought it was a mistake to put it in. So he wasn't blocking her from it, he just wasn't helping her do it either.
Also, he's right that others can add more to their food if they want, but he can't take it out of his once she puts it in.
Lastly, I like salt and use it all the time, but using salt, MSG, and soy sauce all in the same dish sounds like overkill to me.
The lady with the “medical emergency” triggerrrrsss me!!!! My Exs mom was just like that! She would have constant “panic attacks” when he’d leave the house to take me on a date or if we planned a getaway. I hated her and she was the reason I broke up with him. These women need therapy please.
Story 3: The second I heard "cause fights between me and THEM" immediately no
Oh my God, I've been waiting all day!!!..
Sweeter than listening at work is being able to listen while you're chilling at home ready for the weekend. ❤🎉
Story 5. With the famous plastic surgeon 🤔🤔 Is that why Santina left?
My thoughts exactly, this could hurt her professional image if it came out
I was looking for this comment. The timing would make sense
I went to tiktok to look up OP and RIGHT under the OP page was in fact a few tiktoks of that surgeon & Santana😂 💁♀️ is it a coincidence 🤷♀️ I don’t think so💀
Yeah but Santina wasn’t engaged? Right?
santina wasn't engaged! but because she's a PR/social media manager for dr. miami... its a good career choice for her to leave before it comes out, and she wont be left to do the cover-up on it
Morgan, it was nice hearing you talk about you debating on maintaining your license & your continued ed. I'm currently in a 2nd career & have really struggled on whether to keep my license as well, but I'm going strong.
I really went back and forth but seems like it’s always nice to have it as a backup. Glad you’re keeping yours going too!
@@TwoHotTakesas long as you can afford and have time for the classes it seems wise to keep up on it. Whether it is a need, or a love for the field, the opportunity to pick it up again is valuable.
I can't believe you finally read that bridezilla story! That one was INSANE. I had heard it in another podcast but you guys actually had that final update (7) and WOW.
Story 5: I needed a trigger warning for that bride squad text, I was not prepared. Yep, this girl's definitely an influencer and definitely the kind who would scam people to get her "perfect wedding" Aka the worst kind 💀
I left 3 comments now lmao.. but just wanna say Lauren is my favorite reoccurring cohost/guest💟
I love you so much!
Not the free advertising with the JG Wentworth jingle plug Morgan 🤣 Lmao
Story 4: I’m only part way through the story but this sounds like religious delusion/psychosis and he needs medical help 😭
the way my jaw was on the floor my god. The tiktoks are making so much more sense now
LOVE episodes with just you & Lauren! You guys compliment each other so well ❤
I’ve seen this craaazzzyyy Mellon bride story covered on a couple podcasts/ videos so far but not the last update 👀 sooo thankful for Morgan’s due diligence ❤️❤️
Story 2: I’m white, and I’ve been made fun of for using chopsticks to eat certain things, like Cheetos (a commenter in the story mentioned “messy snacks” and I’m telling you this is the life-hack if you can use them) or spaghetti. I learned how to use them at 6-no special reason or deep lore, it was just that my parents took me to a Chinese restaurant for the first time and I followed the instructions on the package 😅
This also reminded me of a video I saw when an Asian guy in Italy was using chopsticks to eat spaghetti, and a rude-ass waiter brought a fork over to their table and STUCK IT IN THE SPAGHETTI and started twirling it around. Unbelievable. If someone came up behind me-BEHIND me!-and stuck a random utensil in my food, I wouldn’t even know what to do. Howzabout we all agree to stop making fun of people for the ways that they get food in their mouths? Yes, let’s all just be normal!
Chopsticks and hot Cheetos make me feel like a real classy lady.
2 seconds after it’s posted but IM HERE AND READY 😂❤️
You can buy lower sodium food. I only eat low sodium potato chips.
You know cans of soup has about 1000 mg of sodium which is crazy. Alot of premade foods have a crazy amount of salt.
Bravo, Morgan. Fabulous episode. I have been hounding my friends to start listening all morning because of story 5. 🎉🎉🎉
I watch your videos during my longer drives and your drive check-in made me smile haha thank you! 🙏🏼
YAY i have been waiting all day!!!
Salt is a flavor enhancer - balance is the goal. If someone like this guy doesn’t like salt all he had to do was ask her to set some aside for him unsalted or make a separate amount for him etc etc there’s so many ways to just ask for what you want rather than trying to force everyone to have it that way.
Story 3: the husband is acting like ambulances don't exist. I know they're expensive in America but if you think someone is having a heart attack don't you call them an ambulance?! Especially as he wasn't even there, he had to drive over & THEN drive his mother to the hospital.
My attention seeking aunt tried this sort of thing once, trying to get my mother to drive hours to "help her". My mother just told her to call herself an ambulance if she genuinely thought she was dying. Though my mother added it sounded like food poisoning because that's what it was, which not surprising from my aunt. She gave every single family member food poisoning at different (often multiple) times.
Eek. Sounds like she might not wash her hands after using the bathroom (among other problems). 😅
Anyway, good for your mom to refuse being manipulated--and don't eat your aunt's cooking!
@@LaunchPadMcQuack4Hire no, it was more that she'd improperly store food & let it go bad but use it anyway. If egg-mayo had been open in the fridge for a week she'd STILL put it in a sandwich. Once I went to use some grated cheese & it was mouldy, I threw it out & she said I could have just used the non-mouldy bits 🤢
A salt anectode: I also went on a kick of trying not to add salt to things for the same reason. I admittedly already am sensitive to hot weather, but as summer entered full swing one day I felt like I was about to faint and my sister immediately pointed out that I had been neglecting my electrolyte needs and got me a pickle jar. She recognized that I was entering old disordered behavior and had been looking out for me. Moderation folks!! Your body needs salt!!
I was just looking for something to listen while drawing. Perfect timing!
Perfect timing I’m about to cook dinner and then pass out, eating of the food may or may not occur lol.
Congratulations Morgan! Being proud of being an OT is so valid.
It’s giving dr “nice beaches and dolphins”
@@hazellegaleasgirl delete this
Story 5 was crazy one of the best stories you have read in a while!
Omgosh, that bridesmaids story makes me think it’s ******(oops didn’t wait for the don’t speculate part at the end)because they had to travel and they can’t disclose the state they’re from👀 it’s gotta be 😅
I had never felt more foreign than listening to you two say you do not or barely use salt. My brain is blowned
I loved Lauren's humor in this episode, the alien pitchfork comment had me gagging from laughter 🔱👽.
😂😂
Morgan, my OT girl, thank you for pointing out that not everyone has the fine motor skills!!! My 2 year old has erbs palsy (still limited right arm mobility) and I’d be so hurt knowing someone would make fun of her for not being able to use chopsticks. Yes, there are other alternatives, but I love that you make this point
Story 2: I feel bad for laughing but this reminds me of when I went to a Japanese restaurant in Oxford. It was a small place so the hosts sat a couple of fellow American students at my table as I was finishing up. The students start talking about how they have no idea how to use the chopsticks. I look up and realize they haven't even broken the disposable wooden chopsticks apart yet. I ended up helping them out, though I'm sure I was laughing a little.
Yeah. Just FYI…that is NOT usual for Americans….I feel the need to take up for us on this one because we eat Chinese, Japanese, and Thai regularly (and I’m in a small town in The South…there are 3 Chinese, 2 Japanese, and a Thai Restaurant in a town of less than 40,000).
@@MountainPearlsI know, I’m an American (Japanese American but still)
Best episode yet!!!!! Love you both so much!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
The crazy MIL story. For one, he should have called ambulance for the mom. Not went to pick her up and take her in. There’s nothing he can do for his mom. But there is something he can do for his wife. He would be an active participant in that. Also, my child always comes before my other family members. If my child was being born, I’d be there no matter what. Would miss anything for the birth. This is divorce worthy for me. The husband will continue to put his mom above wife. Wife will be miserable until MIL dies.
We can speed up that process 😀
@@hayamirin6795 maybe OP will get lucky when she actually goes into labor lmao
@Alexa-qg8ev Do the reverse of the first story...start adding too much salt in the food 🫠
Oh yeah, we can all figure out that plastic surgeon pretty easily. The “can’t say the city” def gives it away! 🤯
Can you please tell me I am clueless 😅
I feel like it’s Florida huh? Lolol
No we can't, spill the beans as to your guess
I went to tiktok to look up OP and right under the OP page was in fact a few tiktoks of that surgeon😂 💁♀️ is it a coincidence 🤷♀️ I don’t think so💀
@@matchamamiyo.. they literally said pls don't mention
For the bride story I wonder if this has to do with a certain doctors social media manager & her recent departure from his office & all the TEA that hasn’t been spilled from that !!!
THISSSSS ❤ LMFAOOO I was thinking the same thing!!!!
I have been binging THT for the last few weeks. You are my fav podcast to listen to while I work. Nothing makes data analysis go by faster than some well read reddit stories! Lol
Yall are my favorite podcast combo ❤. Love you both!
I think this episode is gonna be one of the most memorable bc of the Bachelorette story. Can’t wait for the updates lol
Same but she said they will be on Patreon. I’m a little disappointed about that.
