270: Painful Truths? Ft. Joshua Bassett
5/28/20261 hr 28 min
Two Hot Takes host, Morgan, is joined by guest co-host Joshua Taylor Bassett! Josh just released his first memoir, Rookie, where he shares some vulnerable truths. So it's perfect timing for him to shed some light on if these Reddit stories were a bit too honest or if the truth, however painful, was necessary. From a fiancé that gets a matching tattoo with his girl best friend, to an open mic night gone wrong, to an OP who finds a journal where her husband trashes her, and more! Need your takes on these ones!

This episode is brought to you by Vuori. You know what's tough? Finding clothes that can keep up with you all day. Vuori gets it. That's why everything they make sits in that sweet spot of comfort and style. It's not overly gym-y. It's more like pieces that move with you, but you could still wear anywhere and feel really good in them. The clothes from Vuori have actually inspired me to start working out again. They make me feel so comfortable and empowered. Get 20% off your first purchase at vuori.com/hottakes, and discover the versatility of Vuori clothing. That's V-U-O-R-I.com/hottakes. Exclusions apply. Visit the website for full terms and conditions. This episode is brought to you by Barilla. Great nights are in the details, the hot take that has the group chat blowing up, the internet drama that has you immediately picking a side, and the pasta that has you chasing that last bite. That's Al Bronzo by Barilla. It's crafted with textured ridges that grip and hold onto sauce so you get rich flavor in every bite. That moment you go back to swipe the clean plate, it's called scarpetta, the art of savoring that sauce. Al Bronzo by Barilla, the pasta that does scarpetta. Look for the red bag. Here we go.
