He’s a 10, but he tries to force you to bite into an orange

“i have lots of guy friends, and i hear the way they talk about women” ?? sounds like they shouldn’t be your friends then...? lmao

Eating the orange with the peel isn’t the weird part, it’s the fact that they were mad at her for not eating it the way they wanted. Like having an orange eating tradition every week is really cute, but why would they get legitimately upset at her for not biting into it? She still wanted to eat the orange with them and join in on the tradition. So why were they offended for something so minuscule? The fact that her boyfriend was upset afterwards instead of making fun shows it wasn’t a joke

Olivia seems like the type of person who would bully me and then say “omg bestie it’s just a joke!!”

I respectfully disagree with the way Olivia judges neurodivergent people.

I usually just listen on Spotify but I came here to see what other people thought of the episode and from what I can see most people are thinking the same thing as I am This has to be my least favourite episode so far, Olivia was very dismissive and unkind in her answers I don’t think she was a good fit for the podcast at all

Not a fan of Olivia’s takes.. I feel like everything said was super surface level and her explaining that the kids should come first for wives and that they need support because “they’ll be handling all of the kid stuff” was weird

If the boyfriend in that orange story cares about that SO MUCH he should probably just ask his next girlfriend how she eats oranges from the start lmao

Just found out the “Logan” she’s talking about is Logan Paul… explains a lot tbh💀💀

I get that Olivia is 22 but… I’m 22 as well and her thinking about men is a mindset I used to have at 19. A lot of work for her is needed to gain more understanding of how complicated this world is. Nothing is white or black, sometimes things are grey. Arguing with the person to the point of breaking up and then asking them to stay the next day… very not healthy. Very draining. I recommend therapy when it comes to not trusting in relationships, it helped me.

I never comment but seeing other comments say the same thing is a relief. it’s very obvious that this guest is being very dismissive and is quick to consider anything and everyone “weird” if she doesn’t agree with it. Some people really do need mental help, but quickly saying it because you simply don’t agree with their actions without considering other possible explanations is dismissive. No other guest has been this quick to judge. But from other episodes, I can tell Morgan is much more empathetic and is careful not to quickly judge. I understand it’s hard to disagree with a guest!

I’m all for hearing new perspectives and opinions but Olivia’s is not one of them. So full of entitlement, privilege, self centeredness, and overall bully vibe. There’s a clear lack of empathy and she just seems toxic. She’s not a good person to be around and you could see the negative impact she has on Morgan. I get Morgan is always trying to be nice to her guests and make them feel comfortable, but she’s indulging in that negativity. E.g. with the orange story. Usually Morgan would be the first to suggest maybe there’s a cultural difference or something. But no just straight up agreeing that it’s weird and wrong. Olivia just isn’t a good co host. No valuable opinions, is very pessimistic, and doesn’t even bother to step outside of her bubble to see stories from different lenses. She might be experienced in life but that does not equate to maturity. Her exposure to life comes from a very privileged background for sure

The story with the newlywed wife who overheard the husband's conversation about her looks is so heartbreaking 😭 if I overheard that, I would feel so horrible.

I love two hot takes so much, almost every episode I learn something new and theres always an effort to be kind and understanding with regard to the stories. For me, this girl is just too jaded/ maybe immature to take a logical and empathetic approach to her reactions of the stories which is usually portrayed in the podcast. IDK maybe I'm too old for this episode, but F logan paul lol

This episode was hard to get through... I usually listen to them every Thursday while I work but it's almost been a week and I'm still trying to get through it. Morgan, we love you girl but this guest was a nightmare. I'm all for getting a fresh perspective but I've gotta say, I much prefer your usual co-hosts (Justin, Alejandra and Lauren)

“I have lots of guy friends and I hear the way they talk about women.” You do in fact get to choose who you surround yourself with you know…. 🤔 then proceeds to say she has a couple guys on the side that she keeps around but won’t date YET bc they’re too nice…. Then continues to have the audacity to talk about how “foul” men are and how badly they treat women. Huh????

I feel really weird about the "you have something wrong with your brain if you like to collect things" -.-

I feel like olivia would’ve bullied me in high school

This episode felt like hearing the hearing the high school mean girls talk crap about everyone in the middle of a lesson. I am a huge two hot takes fan and I couldn’t finish the episode because of the vibe.

I really wasn’t a fan of this guest. I’m only halfway through and wondering if I can finish the episode. In the same breath as saying she doesn’t trust men (completely fair) she immediately goes into her toxic way of dating breaking up but then making up the next day and stringing them along. Then later saying the Dad should put the Wife first over the kids because as the Mom she’ll be taking care of the kids more??? Internalized misogyny much. Like what the actual F…..

On the story where the boyfriend had a crush on his girlfriend's best friend before they started dating: I agree with top comment. Stuff like that just happens and crushes don't mean much. He found her attractive but then he got to know OP and fell for her as a whole person. How she looks, how she acts, who she is. He's never tried it with the best friend so I really think that although he might have got close to them because of the best friend, he really genuinely fell for OP. His friends are assholes for telling her like that but I don't think the boyfriend is and neither is OP. She has a right to be hurt and it's fair to lose some trust from it but work on it and build a stronger more secure relationship from it. If he's given you no reason not to trust him before, then trust him now. Honestly, his story adds up, his friends were exaggerating because they were taking the piss out of him

Morgan, you know we love you. And as someone who is watching the video and not just hearing the audio I think you might also have realized what a mistake this guest was by the end of the first story. I don’t wish ill to this girl, but I think she needs to explore the world a bit more. Hang out with more empathetic people. And grow as a human. I sincerely hope she looks back at this in 10 years, and cringes, but is a better human at that point.

I was super excited to see that Olivia was a guest but after listening... OOF who hurt her?! I totally get being frustrated w the stuff guys say or do but her saying that she's planning to be a divorcee by a certain age is just wild. You create your own reality my friend lol

I truly love this show and 99% of the hosts that Morgan works with, and I understand that it's hard work - but please no more hosts like Olivia. She lacks any kind of subtlety when she hears about something, it's only "he's crazy" or "she's insane", there's absolutely no grey area or empathy for a side she disagrees with. And if she's not heard of it before it feels like she's unwilling to engage at all, to maybe consider why someone might do something. Then again, based on how she doesn't want a healthy relationship because it's not song material... it checks out. Still, this was a struggle to get through, especially after the amazingly insightful therapists, or even just the experienced adults like Justin or Alejandra.

The dude wanting to produce a baby the 'traditional' way with his wife's sister... The traditional way is not exactly 'easy' and could very likely take MULTIPLE tries. I have a feeling he is just into the sister. Gross.

that bf that collects things sounds neurodivergent and like he hyperfixates on niche things to collect so her saying somethings wrong with his brain isnt wrong but definitely not the right way to put that. im autistic myself and i also collect "weird" things. admittedly, he should definitely stick to non-perishables, but neurodivergency is tough and throwing away a hyperfixation isnt the move. they should have talked about it long before it started to smell bad.

So I never knew who Olivia was until watching this episode, and immediately I don’t like her. She’s that typical mean girl in school/work that clouds the whole room with ugly negativity. She’s not funny she’s just rude.

bro olivia is kinda mean "you have something wrong in your brain" and "you should get that checked out" especially the "nobody should be dating him" comment to a clearly neurodivergent guy... middle school mean girl behavior. maybe i'm just sensitive but the vibes are off

Damn, I get that the guest is basically a child but she didn't have any empathy whatsoever. The yogurt story... I barely finished this episode.

Constructive criticism: I feel like the podcast was getting soooo goooood with the professional guests and I love the regular guests too but this dialogue feels like a step backwards in terms of having a positive impact.

Love Morgan and love Two Hot Takes but I cannot finish this episode. 😖 I'm glad to see in the comments I'm not alone in my feelings. It just felt off.

Yeah this is way too black and white for me, especially after all those therapist guests

This episode was hard to watch. Morgan, I love you girl and this podcast is amazing normally but you have to grow a spine with your guests. Especially when your guests are mocking people with possible mental disabilities, hating on whole genders and therefore making your audience feel like shit. I honestly wanted to cry when listening to Olivia mock the yoghurt guy, having been struggling with OCD behaviour and ADHD myself. I am sure this can't be easy on you either, remember that we only want the best for you and your podcast. Please for our and your own sake honey, no more being quiet, because saying nothing is sign that you agree with them and their hateful opinions.

"I don't trust men" "I can't ever trust men" "I would start a fight everyday " She's a whole red flag

I really think the shower socks one was a lie and just a run off of the poop stick story

It’s always good to hear different perspectives when it comes to these stories but this episode was…yikes. The amount of ableism and sexism coming from Oliva was astonishing to me. Like, I get she’s hurt from being cheated on and she’s young but the amount of negativity from her was honestly super annoying lol. Yes we love women supporting women, but can we not generalize all men to “all men are horny manipulative assholes”? I’m not gonna blame Morgan here since I understand that mirroring peoples personalities can be an issue (guilty lol 😭) but I genuinely hope Morgan can learn to have her own opinions and not be so much of a “yes man” when guests come on in the future. The podcast isn’t named “one hot take”.

this episode was such a letdown, olivias takes are shallow and superficial, she gives off high school mean girl vibes and just didnt give any value to the episode for me

the bf that collects yogurt may have a hyper fixation however it is definitely mixed in with hoarding. filling two rooms of over 2000 yogurt and having no space in your fridge for actual food, not being able to deal with throwing something away when it creates an unsafe environment (can attract pests, bugs, harmful mold etc) is all extreme behavior, goes beyond a neurodivergent hyperfixation and absolutely screams hoarding disorder, even if it’s organized. Hyperfixations can be intense but this sounds like hoarding/OCD behavior on top of any neurodivergent diagnosis he may or may not have. There are safe ways to have hyperfixations and collections but this is hoarding when it is out of control and becoming unsafe. I also think it’s more than just about crossing the girlfriend’s boundaries, even if he lived alone this would be unsafe and extreme for him to be doing with perishables.

I typically love the episodes but this one was just disappointing to me. Olivia seems very immature and like she wasn’t actually interested in being there. Her takes had little to no insight and were very surface level. I will admit I have no idea who she is so maybe I’m missing something on why she was invited on the show but I’m very confused on why she was there. Most of the other guests have made sense but this one was a miss, causing Morgan to carry the whole thing

I was genuinely shocked when I found out that Olivia is 22… she clearly has the emotionally intelligence of a young teen. She was extremely cold, obnoxious, shallow, and just annoying. I couldn’t even get through half this episode.

Missed hearing more from Morgan this week. I feel like she had a lot to say but didn’t out of politeness. Maybe another hot “re-takes” ep in the future!!

The boyfriend in the story kind of sounds like me… I don’t collect food, but i tend to hyper fixate on things and when I find something a like, I become hooked for a bit until I get tired of it and move on to the next. There’s nothing “wrong” with him. It could be autism, or adhd, or who knows, maybe he just likes to collect things. Those comments were really rude. He’s not undateable or a nut job.

particularly superficial vibes in this episode

I’m here from spotify. I usually love this podcast but I decided to turn it off and read some comments to see if anyone was thinking what I am and yeah, some people are. Morgan, this episode was pretty fucking bad. I understand matching people’s energy but this was not the person to do it with. Im going to sit this episode out.

I know it’s probably good for your views, but I prefer episodes with your bf/friends. I guess it’s nicer because we “know” them

I love this podcast and I get so excited when a full episode drops, but it was so hard to make it through this one. Olivia somehow made everything about herself and would go on 5 minute tangents that weren’t related to the story at all - she seemed to just want to talk about herself a lot. And she lacked nuance in her answers and didn’t try to have a back and forth about any of the posts. This guest was definitely one of the most immature I’ve seen. I wish Morgan would stick to her friends instead of trying to get “famous” guests. I’d rather them have real, intellectual, thought out answers to the posts instead of taking a hard stance right from the start. And the tangents. I just can’t. I was waiting for her to stop talking so we could get to the next post. I’m sorry Morgan, you’re the best, but this episode wasn’t it.

"The peel actually contains more fibre and Vitamin C than the flesh of the fruit," Thornton-Wood said. "It also contains the polyphenols which are linked to prevention of many chronic diseases such as diabetes” Like I get that it’s weird and his reaction was a bit much, but comparing it to a fetish??????? Bit much

THT is literally one of my favourite podcasts. However, the guest of this week was not it. Her commentary came off as immature and superficial to say the least. Previous guests from recent episodes have been amazing though. I guess all guests can't be relatable to everyone. Still looking forward to next weeks episode.

The baking story makes me laugh. I love that chick and she totally did that in a good way but nothing to hurt anyone. I also like that Pete didn’t put down his wife and stood by her by having a laugh. W couple

Olivia deserves better friends tbh They couldn't control themselves enough to not get too wasted to make her set? WTF

It didn’t sound like her losing weight was intentional. She deserves someone who recognizes her beauty and makes her feel beautiful.

I love this podcast and I don’t comment nearly enough to reflect what I enjoy about it. That said, I think as a non-white with non-western heritage, hearing the way you both were ready to dismiss certain habits and behaviors as bizarre and mental really just comes off as really western and American especially. People groups across the board have differences that outsiders are not used to. Same for how you approach neurodivergence, though I know Morgan is not necessarily neurotypical. Given the direction the pod has been taking with talking to pros and more mature people, this was kind of jarring. I was entertained especially because of the lighthearted and informal mess of this, but many experiences doesn’t necessarily make someone mature, and immaturity can lead someone to say unintentionally alienating things.

Plz no more guests like this that don’t really have any input at all

on the orange story: I take issue with this because it comes down to a form of consent. She politely declined and they still pressured and judged her for it. Her declining to do something when the consequences of not doing it are harmless should not be the cause of a major fight. Even if the family were correct in how they ate their oranges and the girlfriend was the weird one, she is still not obligated to eat them.

Her: How did you get these illegal yogurts? Him: Don’t change the subject.

Just got to the part where she is talking about how men are toxic and then she lines out her toxic dating behaviors and let me just say😯 the double standard

The cake pop switch is hilarious!! Because the family's behavior deserved this switch up.

Oof, I think I like the podcast better when Adults are talking. I would have loved it had Morgan spoken more instead of just agreeing with everything a guest says. She argues with Justin and the regualr girls no prob haha

Making fun of lisps and disability symptoms (third story) isn’t funny in 2022. The vibes in this one was off to me, I just didn’t like this guest as she seems super out of touch with regular people. I would prefer people who are in touch with society on something where you are talking about relationships, lives, etc. lol. I still love the show, just not this one.

I don’t think Olivia can add value as a guest here, too superficial and too obnoxious… you can go with more of a chill vibe just as good with the usual guests 😊

Love the stories but the guest was not it :( She seemed like she wasn't into it the whole time which kinda dulled the mood. Idk maybe its her first podcast but a bit more energy from her would've been cool. At least Morgan carried the show

This episode was an experience to avoid, I’ll wait for the next episode !

Why would you bring someone so mean on here 😕 kinda disappointed. I like when you bring on guests who can actually be thoughtful and expound on the stories and the thoughts they have rather than it being so one note. I get you want a different take but atleast have the person giving it actually have a deeper thought process on their takes than the shallow ones given here. I don't even agree with some of the previous episode takes with other guests but they atleast were able to explain themselves more clearly than this person who seems like they don't want to be here and gives off mean girl attitude. Oh well, guess I just won't finish this episode.

I actually like Olivia and enjoyed this episode she was funny and everyone has different perspectives. And also understand that she got cheated on recently she’s going to hate guys rn and also it’s hard to be your best self when u are really hurt inside and can hate life after that happens to u wish her the best ❤

I could be be completely wrong but number 3 (the collection one) sounds like it could be linked to OCPD, obsessive compulsive personality disorder, (not the same as OCD but more related to obsessions and compulsive issues with perfection and control. It has very commonly been linked to obsessive and compulsive tendencies to collect thing and hoarding.

Her saying the guy can't date if he has something going on in his brain is incredibly ableist, everyone deserves love no matter what's going on in your brain.

Morgan!!!!! I am at home in bed with covid. Couldn't wait for this episode to drop, but it was awful, or to be more exact , your guest was a nightmare. She shouldn't have been given the platform to spew that garbage. it went from bad to worse and I was hoping you would step up and put a stop to it, which you are totally capable of doing. Don't let people like this run the show... We keep coming back because we love you, and the majority of your guests! maybe spend a little time vetting them before they are let lose on the air.

Morgan for the love of god…not every weird quirk or habit is a fetish…

When you were talking about men’s luxe you had me so happy with myself until the very end when you just had to say “oh no bald guys though” Totally deflated me on that

I’ll be honest, I love THT and always look forward to episodes every Thursday. However, Olivia did not resonate with me in this episode. From the beginning of her take on the shower socks guy, I knew I wasn’t going to like her attitude. I get that she’s 22, but come on now. She seriously has some growing up to do.

Morgannnnn please stop calling everything odd a fetish it’s damaging to the fetish community

Idk I swear I usually love all guests and their takes but Olivia didn’t pass the vibe check. Kinda disappointing tbh.

I can totally relate to what Olivia said about when you have feelings for someone they become attractive to you. I've dated guys that none of my friends found attractive but yet I thought they were the hottest guy on earth, especially if they have a dope personality.

Poor Morgan...She was incredible really! She managed to be friendly and bubbly while not entering in Olivia's bullshit. I would have lost my shit personally.

For the yogurt story, I can see both sides to some extent. Me and my fiancé both have ADHD and he tends to hyper fixate on hobbies that can sometimes get out of hand or he will neglect an old hobby that gets cluttered. Me on the other hand grew up with hoarders and get overwhelmed with messes and clutter. The yogurt collection should have been talked about from the beginning (personally I would have brought it up as soon as I saw him put an open yogurt back in the fridge) but based on the story he already took it way too far and I can’t blame her for throwing it away.

yea hard no on this guest this time..didnt like her vibe at all..but i appreciate you trying to bring in new voices.

To eat the orange peel is not so weird. Where I live there are even edible lemons where you can eat it with the Peel. The only weird thing in this story was the family reaction and that they put so much pressure on her. Other than that no fetish etc. Just their way of eating this kind of fruit. And btw the most vitamins are in the peel

i absolutely had to come comment on this video. I was listening to this on my way to work from my podcast app but after the orange story, i HAD to come comment. so, I’m Hispanic and we have lots of “weird” habits and things out of culture. I know in Chinese/Asian cultures oranges are a cultural symbol. I know we don’t have much from reddit because the update was deleted but did you all ever consider it was a cultural thing rather than a “fetish” or just a cute tradition??

I did not like this guest... she was somewhat rude

For the story about the girl whos fiance had a crush on her bff: I dated my HUSBAND'S best friend for a year and a half before I started dating my husband Sometimes things just work out like that

on the orange story: the whole family WEIRD AS FUCK, but saying my family's oranges are better than all other oranges isn't weird, like my flatmates' (twins) family all used to hate olives until they moved into a place that has an olive grove and the whole family raves (not overly, if the topic comes up they'll be like they are amazing they wont like go on and on about it though) about their dads olives and will ask the parents to bring some down to them and i believe they sell the olive oil and locals love it. so their eating habits weird as fuck, but like thinking orange from x farm, in this case his parent's, is great and i'd never eat another because they can never compare isn't really culty, its just normal at least in rural/agricultural places.

Ugh, I absolutely LOATHE when people comment on someones weight even if the comment is in the positive. Unless the person losing weight brings up that they're happy about their weightloss it should never be brought up otherwise. I feel so badly for that new wife. :(

Morgan, you should probably have more insightful guests on the podcasts. It’s a bit insulting to listen to someone that has literally nothing meaningful to say. Not a big fan of Olivia on this one. Still love the show tho!

39:53 this comment 'I just can't ever believe men' is a little harsh. Not all men are liar's. Not all men are bad people

I didn’t enjoy this guest or their takes, I do think some of it was offensive as a neurodivergent and just generally empathetic person but I feel like people are being to hard on Morgan. If you’re a fan of this podcast you should know Morgan is a good, understanding person and it’s easy to get caught up in what someone else is saying out of social anxiety and not thinking about or realizing how it might come off or be offensive until later. So hope you don’t feel too bad Morgan, you have always seemed sweet and I trust that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Damn not Morgan standing by and accepting sexism on her podcast because she’s too scared to be confrontational and make her guest “uncomfortable”. Like if a man came on and said “all women are crazy” and “I don’t trust anything a woman says” this podcast wouldn’t have been posted lmao. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Can we please tell Olivia to not hang out with logan paul, you just can't hate men and think he's one of the good ones, like he's the worst

I really didn’t like Olivia on the podcast it was very arkward and she gave off very mean girl vibes and don’t care what Morgan had to say

i liked her personality and your dynamic, but i honestly feel like Olivia maybe wasn't the best guest to have on for a couple of these stories because she just doesn't know what she's talking about. and that's not to be rude or say that all of your guests must be professionals but there's a line of giving an unprofessional opinion and just being kinda downright mean. id love to see her on again, just maybe with a subject matter she knows more about. not trying to be disrespectful to either of you at all, im sorry if any of this comes off like that. edit: i tried being as nice as possible but yeah after reading recent comments i would have to agree that she just isn't a good co-host at all. i think the way she said nobody should ever date that one guy spoke VOLUMES on her outlook on life. she very clearly was the mean girl in highschool. i think before she's ready to be doing things like this she needs to learn how to empathize with someone who isn't a white cis neurotypical woman from america. i love this show and watch it all the time but i could barely get through this one. please do not have her on again especially if you'll be discussing stories that differ from her perspective because clearly she lacks the maturity to understand said perspectives.

Candied orange peels and using them in recipes has been around for a long time. And although most find it gross and bitter, as other commenters have stated, it does have a lot of health benefits

i’m begging you to add chapters!! i zone out and want to restart a story but it takes me awhile to find it

The guy that collects yogurt legit reminds me of one of my aunts and I almost forgot she did this until this video reminded me. She was obsessed with everything m&m, brand and candy. She had china cabinets full of m&ms (unopened containers, you can still see the plastic seal) and m&m merchandise and no one was ever allowed to touch them. I guarantee you they are still set up today the same way they have been the past 20+ years. At least it's m&ms and not yogurt lmao.

I thought Olivia sounds a bit immature until I learn that she is 22. Okay that makes perfect sense. I would say the same thing when I was her age. I'm sure she'll grow out of her 'men are trash' phase.

Not defending all gym bros but my fiance is a body builder and personal trainer and he and his co workers are quite litterally the most support, caring, self determined and disciplined people ive ever met. They make me comfortable as a bigger lady to go to the gym and support me when im not feeling comfortable in my own skin. But i totally agree, there are some trash ones at the gym aswell

I know plenty of men and when I say that I mean it a lot of men who are married, single, dating who are literally the best most gentle hearted and awesome guy. Not everyone is horrible 😅

these make me so happy i binge them like crazy

“I want you to be clean, and I want you to be nice” pretty much

I honestly had a hard time grasping the physical attraction to my husband at first because he was so different from my "type" but he was so perfect in every other way and 7 years later, it doesn't even matter. It definitely grows and changes, one of my friends told me that back then and I kept that in mind. Completely worth my own mental block I had to break down.

Omg I’m so glad that was the story it ended on because I was slowly getting filled with rage and then that one, where she gets back at her in-laws, was perfect
