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

2025-01-24 22:39:35 +0000 UTCI 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!!
Elise
2025-01-23 23:33:13 +0000 UTCFinal fall out from the holidays? I also loved Justin’s idea as well!
Amelia Olson
2025-01-22 02:07:40 +0000 UTCMaybe 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 😂

2025-01-20 18:53:19 +0000 UTCUpdates from previous stories!!
Ana Glazier
2025-01-20 16:49:07 +0000 UTCidk if this would be good for the podcast but i think the sub "regretful parents" is super interesting
Sewer Piggy
2025-01-20 16:48:13 +0000 UTCFor a Valentine's day episode would you be interested in doing a singles/bad first date/dating horror stories
Mary
2025-01-20 15:33:51 +0000 UTCCame here to say the same!!
Nora Lathan-Long
2025-01-20 07:46:41 +0000 UTCI would love an episode that only focus on updates for previous stories! :-D

2025-01-20 07:23:38 +0000 UTCPurposely petty
Ella Wild
2025-01-20 04:20:42 +0000 UTCI 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!!!
Sara Tressler
2025-01-20 00:59:17 +0000 UTCWhat about weaponized incompetence vs purposely petty/justified asshole? They’re kind of similar, but with different intentions!!!
Shayla Roseborough
2025-01-19 20:43:38 +0000 UTCI 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.
Sara
2025-01-19 15:50:33 +0000 UTCWhat about a weaponized incompetence theme? That ending one in ep 200 feels a little like that too 👀
Emma Frey
2025-01-19 02:14:18 +0000 UTCI’d love an episode dedicated to updates on old stories!
Lorin Booth
2025-01-19 00:35:03 +0000 UTCThat 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
Shai
2025-01-18 19:26:10 +0000 UTCI know y’all have done an episode that was animal themed before, but I would love another animal themed episode! 🥰
April Ames-Harrison
2025-01-17 23:47:54 +0000 UTCI 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?!
Olivia
2025-01-17 22:24:00 +0000 UTCHow about “Justifiable Asshole” too?
Kelly McKinley
2025-01-17 21:43:49 +0000 UTCLove me some updates and family drama lol!!
Alexys Coleman
2025-01-17 21:43:27 +0000 UTCI’m so ready for updates for the stories we’re invested in
Shakiya Trammel
2025-01-17 20:10:55 +0000 UTCI 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
Emma Bartnick
2025-01-17 16:43:51 +0000 UTCI 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.😂
Rhiannon
2025-01-17 16:05:21 +0000 UTCI 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/
Jessica
2025-01-17 05:34:54 +0000 UTCMaybe include the clip of you reading the original story? I feel like actually reading them doesn’t take too long
Alisha
2025-01-17 05:20:04 +0000 UTCI love updates. some friendship stories would be cool too
Elizabeth Harrelson
2025-01-17 03:00:47 +0000 UTCoh, 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.

2025-01-17 02:09:53 +0000 UTCTell her we love her!!
Piper
2025-01-17 02:04:26 +0000 UTCMy 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.
Michael
2025-01-17 02:00:48 +0000 UTCWe 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
2025-01-17 01:58:10 +0000 UTCWe get a little of that in the ep 200! That story through me for a loop lol
Two Hot Takes
2025-01-17 01:57:03 +0000 UTCMy 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?
Two Hot Takes
2025-01-17 01:56:32 +0000 UTCI would love an all updated episode or “professionally petty” Theme!!
Vanessa
2025-01-17 01:45:46 +0000 UTCI 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.

2025-01-17 01:08:51 +0000 UTCThis 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
Gem Hdz
2025-01-17 01:03:06 +0000 UTCi’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. :)
Yesenia Cardenas
2025-01-17 00:36:28 +0000 UTCWhen will you do the Two sides to every story episode again! Love that one!!
Quinn Tribolet
2025-01-17 00:08:36 +0000 UTCMorgan you HAVE to do a pet theme with your ponies!
Rhiannon
2025-01-16 23:13:41 +0000 UTCI 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!
Erin
2025-01-16 23:07:25 +0000 UTCIf 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.
Hanna
2025-01-16 23:01:19 +0000 UTCHonestly 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!^_^
Leudin Dominguez
2025-01-16 22:59:42 +0000 UTCI’d love to see Alejandra on another episode!!
Piper
2025-01-16 22:58:48 +0000 UTCOh yes. Absolutely. I love petty revenge shit 😂
Mads Robinson
2025-01-16 22:56:31 +0000 UTCCan 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 !!!
Mads Robinson
2025-01-16 22:55:07 +0000 UTCLOVE the purposefully petty idea
