264: Step on a Rake!

4/16/20262 hr 3 min

Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Michaela! When people just really make you mad or frustrated, "step on a rake" is way nicer than a lot of the other obscenities we can say! We needed multiple rakes for these ones - from an OP whose BF looked at an old video of her disgustingly, to a workplace app gone wrong, to a young woman whose getting improper education on her body, to a handywoman doing some petty revenge these are all bringing the heat. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

  1. Morgan Absher· Host0:00

    Today, you guys, I have a bottle of water here. My goal is to get at least halfway through it by the end of this episode.

  2. Michaela· Host0:05

    Yay.

  3. Morgan Absher· Host0:07

    That's my goal.

  4. Michaela· Host0:07

    Not the best start.

  5. Morgan Absher· Host0:09

    [laughs] Well, 'cause I haven't opened it.

  6. Michaela· Host0:11

    Yeah.

  7. Morgan Absher· Host0:12

    [laughs] It's gonna be fine.

  8. Michaela· Host0:15

    Okay.

  9. Morgan Absher· Host0:15

    It's gonna be really good.

  10. Michaela· Host0:16

    I'm excited.

  11. Morgan Absher· Host0:17

    I've had my caffeine today, 'cause I love a good coffee. I'm ready to go. I've got a really, what feels like it's gonna be a really good theme.

  12. Michaela· Host0:26

    I'm excited.

  13. Morgan Absher· Host0:28

    It's kind of all across the board. We've got relationships, a little work stuff, friendship stuff, kind of a good mix, but it's all of these stories that are just like, oh, go step on a rake.

  14. Michaela· Host0:40

    Right.

  15. Morgan Absher· Host0:41

    Like kick rocks, eat dirt.

  16. Michaela· Host0:44

    Step on a rake.

  17. Morgan Absher· Host0:45

    Step on a rake. And I, I want that to be more of a thing, because, like, it's not really culturally appropriate a lot of times to be like, "Go fuck yourself." You know what I mean?

  18. Michaela· Host0:55

    Totally.

  19. Morgan Absher· Host0:56

    Uh, but like, "Just go step on a rake. Get out of here, you little rugrat."

  20. Michaela· Host1:01

    I feel like it's also a good saying because it actually shows the level of harm I want to come to that person. Like- Yes ... like I want it to be something that isn't long-lasting.

  21. Morgan Absher· Host1:11

    Yeah.

  22. Michaela· Host1:11

    But I do want them to like, you know, be like, "Ow."

  23. Morgan Absher· Host1:15

    Feel a little bit of a sharp sting.

  24. Michaela· Host1:16

    Yeah.

  25. Morgan Absher· Host1:17

    And I think that's a great analogy, 'cause a lot of times I hear these stories and I'm like, "Oh, I just wish, I wish that he would get, meh." And it's like, okay, though that's a little aggressive, but a rake is that happy medium of like- Yeah ... it's better
