Chapter 1: What are Morgan and Michaela discussing in 'Take the Trash Out'?

00:00 - 00:02 Michaela

Okay, you ready? I'm so ready. Yeah.

0

00:02 - 00:05 Morgan

Here we go. We've got our stress fruit.

0

00:07 - 00:10 Michaela

Yeah, if you can't see us, we have stress fruit in our hands. Stress fruit. We're squeezing it.

0

00:11 - 00:19 Morgan

It's so needed. I've bought like 10 of these things and I can't stop. There's so many different textures, objects.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Michaela

I like that it has these little points at the ends of it that you can kind of push in for the banana. Yeah.

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

I'm like, okay, here we go. Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm not ready. Actually, I'm not ready. I was stressed about these.

00:00 - 00:00 Michaela

Born ready to take the trash out. But I am nervous due to like your vibe about some of these stories about what I'm going to hear.

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

I know. You guys, buckle up. I feel like some of the titles alone are just like very, what? So I feel like we are all going to be a bit enraged today. And it's okay. You know?

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

yeah it's okay yeah it's not our drama we just have to remember that at the end of the day it's not our drama we just get to vicariously live through these people a little bit and it's the tea without it actually burning you whoa have you said that before no wow morgan maybe Friends, it's been 200 plus episodes. I'm not sure.

Chapter 2: Why does social media portrayal matter in relationships?

47:43 - 48:10 Michaela

it's people they know yeah it's family members who seem fine they seem very nice like to call to say that they seem fine because they were very nice is just such a naive thing to say like anybody can seem nice it's a murderer could seem nice yeah and they usually do like it's very easy all people who do these things yeah some might have an obviously rancid vibe but most people can make themselves appear very nice especially the ones who are really good at it yeah and

0

48:11 - 48:33 Michaela

I think it's also a good moment of him like talking to his son about what bad touches are and like I think it's that can get lost sometimes in conversations we have about like schools and stuff like that of people being like oh don't talk to my kids about that like don't tell them what that is I think it's really important for kids to know that I think it can really like

0

48:33 - 48:50 Michaela

help them out in situations to be armed with the information of what a good touch is and what a bad touch is even though they are very young and of course it's uncomfortable because you never want to like think that your child would be exposed to that in any way but it's a good conversation to have and I think that's

0

48:50 - 49:15 Morgan

also something to take from this story it absolutely needs to be had like this is why my brother and his wife have always talked with their kids like very openly about body parts they've never like yeah given body parts like names like oh you're cookie or things like that because that can actually hurt your kids in making sure they're safe against these kind of things yeah and obviously you have it in age-appropriate ways right yeah

0

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

But I'm also wondering, because OP does have a comment here, giving a little bit more detail about what the girlfriend knew. Because people are being like, she didn't know. You never told her. You never, like, and it's like, but he did. So he does provide that context and he goes, her and I have talked about my childhood prior to my first post.

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

She knows enough about my living conditions to know it was unsafe for any child. She knows my father is a violent alcoholic and she knows a lot about the crazy shit my mother pulled over the years. She knows my sister has a PTSD diagnosis and she knows my father touched her. This is everything she knew. And I honestly think that should have been enough. Her parents also know about most of this.

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

Yeah. And I'm wondering if because she thinks she has a son, if it's different.

00:00 - 00:00 Michaela

Absolutely.

00:00 - 00:00 Morgan

Like, would you leave a three-year-old, your little daughter there? And if the answer for that is no, you shouldn't leave a little boy there either. Because sick, twisted, despicable people... A lot of times don't give a fuck.
