the fact that this is another one of morgan's 3am uploads....BABE PLEASE REST
No fr
Isn't this her dad's podcast? Or does she actually do the uploading and editing for him?
@@AshANDLeeWyeah she does it all bless her. I think Justin does it sometimes when she’s burnt out bless her ❤
Some people work best at night tho.
Bahaha Justin edits half of these with me. This was one of his 3am uploads 😂
I DIED crying at the elephant part 😂 love ya Jerry!
i know that the acknowledgment at the beginning of the video wasn’t directed towards Australia at all (because people don’t often know what’s going on here). anyway we recently had a vote to change the constitution so that indigenous australians would be recognised and have a voice in parliament (an advisory board for indigenous people so that they could have a say on matters that affect them in government). majority of australia voted no. there is a lot of mourning going on here for indigenous australians, so although it was directed towards us, it still meant something ❤
wth? this is saddening what's wrong with people? why would the majority vote no? i swear to god for some reason lately i feel like i've seen so many white australian people online behaving like such typical white american republicans, very racist, misogynistic, etc. is this the reality in australia? i thought people there were more open since so many different cultures and ethnicities live there
To the girl who struggles with with saying sorry, it IS a skill so here are some tips from a teacher who often is the first to teach this skill to young children: 1. Be sincere 2. Be specific about what you’re sorry for 3. Show that you understand why this behavior hurt them 4. Express what your going to do to make up for it/ask them what they’d like you to do 5. Listen to any further concerns from them without getting defensive It may help to write the apology down first, and practice with small apologies that are less emotional. Example: I’m SO SORRY I ate all the takeout leftovers. I see now that you were looking forward to eating them, and are feeling disappointed and hungry. Can I heat up something from the freezer or pick you up some more leftovers later?
Thank you!!! I have the same struggle as this person (to the point where I was wondering if I had forgot I had submitted something 😂). But it’s not as easy as “just do it.” Years of trauma and not being listened to doesn’t just go away and let you apologize when you’re quite literally having a trauma response.
Watching Morgan PROPERLY open a bottle of champagne has really emotionally recharged me on my lunch break today. Thanks!
Up taking care of my new baby boy & we get a fresh podcast 🥹 Thankyou for pulling me through these late nights & early mornings. Not all heros wear capes, some wear pattern socks 🧦🧦
For the person with apology issues. I would try writing down your apology and then either read it to him or try the first time apologizing with him in the room but keep your eyes closed so its like he is not there. Honestly its not the apologizing that may not be the issue... it may be the fear of his reaction.
For me, it’s both… I’m not sure for the writer but for me, it’s not being able to apologize during my childhood, it not being taken seriously, not getting apologies from others and their reactions. It’s just all bad 😅
Morgan and Justin having the glass that has each other's name is just so cute
I loved watching Morgan’s reaction to her father in story 2 of him explaining that if you don’t fix the problem it becomes a “crusty layer”! And his following analogy 😂😂
Story 5: Sometimes losing a large amount of weight can create NEW insecurities due to loose skin, body dysmorphia, etc. I had gastric sleeve surgery and almost felt more insecure after I had lost so much weight bc I looked like a melted candle. The fact that they BOTH lost a lot of weight shows that they have similar struggles and insecurities they could probably relate on. I think sitting down and discussing where the discomfort is stemming from, becoming accustomed and comfortable with each other’s bodies and just working on being comfortable naked together and expressing your love and admiration for each other’s physical vessel is extremely important. Sex and intimacy stems from your mindset a lot of the time and getting in your head can be a huge setback. Best of luck and I hope you guys are able to move forward with a beautiful and refreshed sex life ❤️
Thank you guys for acknowledging what’s going on in the world ! ❤️& Giving us a light hearted feeling because it does get hard sometimes, not everyone has the privilege of having an easy going life! ❤️👨🏽🌎❤️
Jerry enormous laugh was awesome!!!
Love when a new vid is posted 18 mins before I have to get ready for work 😊 podcast to do my makeup to! 🩷
Morgan, your laugh makes me happy lol. It’s full and genuine and I love it 😭❤️
I seriously really enjoy that you guys post Monday mornings!!❤
My husband and I will be together officially 10 years on Halloween. Married 4 yrs and have 2 boys-- 2yrs and 3 yrs old. Never underestimate the power of receiving a random card (blank with just a random message). Hearing how much he appreciates me.... It's my favorite. Whenever I see a sweet card at the store, I'll grab it. Since losing my mom recently, he has really become my rock. Picking up my slack in the parenting department... Just everything. Ill write in a card how much I love and appreciate him. Then I'll put it in his lunch pail to see randomly during lunch. It's my favorite thing to do (I can express myself better through writing). It's really the little things ....
Definitely didn’t think FKS would be giving me advice about going to adult stores and websites today but here we are 😂😂 so true though. The awkwardness is real but it’s only because sexuality is still such a taboo thing! I’m glad that’s changing though 👏👏
Story 3: I understand where you’re coming from with the difficulty in admitting your faults and apologizing face to face. Pride is a crazy thing. I’m a perfectionist and hate admitting my wrongs, pride can get the best of me, but it’s such a necessary step in communication that you have to practice. The moment of owning up to your wrongs and apologizing sincerely will get easier as you practice it. It will strengthen your relationship and it will prove that you are trying. There is no way around it, it’s something you must face and become comfortable with and I fully believe you are capable of it. I had to do the same as it was a big problem in my relationship as well and as soon as I practiced owning up to my faults and taking accountability, my partner was extremely grateful and it made a huge difference. Best of luck ❤️
Jerry oh my goodness hahahaha the elephant part just absolutely killed me
i needed the unhinged jokes in the last story omg😂😂😂 thank you for always being here for us and giving a laugh when needed🥹
Oh hellll yeah! Fresh off of work , perfect way to wind down
Story 2: if this was a year and a half ago i would swear to god that my mother wrote that. My dad left his 20 year 6 figure job to move us to a more farmy/nature filled part lf the state. He struggled for over a year to find a different job since he didnt feel ready to retire. He fell into a deep depression and started picking up bad habits during that time. My mom was even trying to look for work, but couldn't find anything either. Now he's got a job that he enjoys and is much happier, healthier and has been seeing a therapist. All in all everything has turned out fine for the 3 of us.
I've never been this early!! ❤ you guys are awesome
I replayed the part where Jerry and Morgan where dying laughing to figure out what he was going to say. Put on subtitles and up to my ear. Damn!
I went to Tokyo Valentino last March! was definitely my favorite adult store I’ve been to!
I am obsessed with s’mores too. My all time favorite dessert
Love the ATL shoutout! We love Tokyo!
I can kind of relate with story #3, my family never dealed with conflict, we would just ignore it and act like everything was ok so it has been very difficult for me to open up to my bf. Im getting better at it because hes always open and honest with me. Its hard but as long as op is trying little by little i hope they can work it out. With story #4, i also loved being single lol so i stayed single for my 20s, i just enjoyed life and dated around (nothing serious) and finally met the person i want to be with at 31.
"he looked like he just came off an episode of Saturday Night Live." hahaha!
Haha omg when you guys started talking about Tokyo Valentino, I remembered there's one by where I live😂 glad there's a random THT connection nearby
26:14 for story 3 - when I have to discuss something uncomfortable/get important boundaries or feelings across, I cannot find the words vocally, but I can email/text suuuuuch clear and respectful things. And I talked to a therapist about this, and they told me that is me going non-verbal. Most of us (especially neurodivergent kings and queens) take the term nonverbal very literally. But it more so means you can't articulate what to say verbally. Not that if you were given pen and paper, or a phone that you wouldn't be able to in written word. This helped me have so much more patience with myself, and helped my relationships for them to understand this is just how my brain works. And hearing this story made me think of myself. I shut down with tense situations. I have gotten much better with apologies. But that took time and learning about myself. Also I am by no means suggesting there isn't people out there who literally cannot speak. There is of course the literal definition of nonverbal too lol.
I’m too early for this. 🤞🏽🤞🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
the last story brought a huge smile to my face thinking about how nervous i was for my first kiss at 15, i’m now 25. we completely missed each others mouths and i was mortified LOL. it gets better D! also fun fact, bonobos are also bisexual!
Here from spooky dark 😢😂scared shitless jokes aside love all of you guys videos
😂😂😂Jerry and the trunk
Story #3 This was me. I felt like you were describing me and how I used to handle conflict. I'm 32 now and married, so I've had some practicing to do. My husband says I'm very eloquent whenever I write what I'm thinking and I think that helped me even if I wasn't sending the apology, to just write it down. Maybe you can try with writing it down and reading it to him, get that apology muscle going..? IDK hope that helps :)
5:31 thank you for the prayers and thoughts. Sending love from Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏🏻
MEGAN... What's your favorite gummy and for Jerry did you see if the carpet issue was covered by your home ins.? Water issues are not fun.
I didn't comment on any videos. But the acknowledgment made me to. Thank you father! I know you're jewish and all but not standing with the zionist BS that's happening means alot. Thank you. I almost cried 😢. And Free Palestine. Always 🇵🇸
I like to throw down a blanket and pillows and pick up popcorn and theater candy at the grocery store to make a romantic movie night for my fiancé some times
Story 3: OP you've already recognised that you have a problem apologising in person. That is step one. Step 2 is telling your partner. If you love your partner and want to keep this relationship with a healthy balance, you have to talk to him. It won't be easy, it will feel hard, but trust me, you'll feel better. Your partner will understand if he truly loves you. I also recommend counselling.
What are the CBD gummies that recommend? 🥰
Love Island cups😂
I feel so bad when jerry wants to say something they just brush him off😭 let him speak lol… some people never heard of what sugar pile is, including me lol.
It’s GOTTTTA hurt to be Justin and hear Morgan had to get with someone else before she could realize she wanted to be with him lol
Story 2. Sometimes the job market is very who you know. Do you have friends or family in other areas of the country? Your husband’s applications may do better if he is referred by someone.
I open champagne by just using a kitchen towel over it, man handle that thing off 😂😂😂 so many men in my life have been absolutely shocked by the ease of which I open champagne bottles 😂 Little story, one of my best friends is a wedding day of coordinator, so I was helping her with this one wedding, the bride wanted us to fill the champagne flutes during the ceremony, well, the wedding and cocktail hour were in a literal cave! 😂 so I was crouching on the ground trying to muffle the sound of champagne bottles popping in my boobs 😂😂😂 and of course it was making me and my friend have the like Omg I want to crack up laughing but it would be totally inappropriate to do so kind of laugh 😂 the bride and the guests were such chill people so they found it hilarious also and the bride was like yea I guess I didn't think that through 😂
Never knew how alike I was to an elephant.
I love you guys. Why you’re not clear which side you are on? Be brave and talk about it! DONT BE NEUTRAL!!!!! Are you afraid of losing followers or something?????????????? FREEE PALESTINE🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
If you have listened to this podcast for a while den you would know they, atleast Jerry, probably don’t support the Palestinians. Sadly.
It’s giving pro-Israel lol
What if they have love for both? You can want peace and for two people such as the Palestinians and Israelis to coexist!
@@kristenhahahahah I’m not going to go into to much detail cause I don’t think it’s appropriate for this video. But you can’t expect someone to “co-exist” with their occupier.
@@rai2423 although I don’t agree with the Israeli government going about how they’ve been and hamas standing behind the Palestinians, I do think two people can live with one another. They have before and they can coexist. I don’t want to get into the history of Israel but it was always the Jewish people’s land, not that Arabs and Muslims cannot live there.
Not the chap lips 💀💀💀
I feel like a a good topic is crazy hygiene sorry I’m too lazy to go to the 2hottakez thingy.
Why when you KNOW...u KNOW...i knew right away my soulmate i had had bfs thats what teen uears are for then early 20s i met my boo middish 20s and 8 yrs later we inlove and goin strong...no paper needed we do wear rings tho!
Holly does not look ready
IM EARLY
Love the podcast, but man why does morgan have to CONSTANTLY bring up the fact that she initially rejected justin and went and slept with other people. Every time it gets brought up I just cringe... If my boyfriend announced something like that in front of god and everyone on a podcast weekly, I'd be pretty hurt.
So we talk about how drugs are bad, but we endorse porn that has the same affect on my brain as cocaine? Oh, ok
Your stance was a little too neutral. I understand that you’re Jewish, that doesn’t mean you can’t stand against the Israeli government performing literal ethnic cleansing and now a genocide of Palestinian people. I saw Morgan’s original post that she was standing with Israel. It seems like she’s maybe done more research now? But a neutral statement is standing with the oppressor. 🇵🇸
Wow didn’t know she posted that… so ignorant
I never ever posted anything along those lines. Dont put words in my mouth. Thanks.
@@Slipperycat123probably because I didn’t.
Tried to share some places to find resources, but YT deleted it :(
Anyone else feel bad for Justin somewhere around 37/29 mins 😏 🥲
A fun game to play in the bedroom is battle strip ⛴
