Taylor Tomlinson's fourth Netflix special, 'Prodigal Daughter,' was set to release February 24th, the same week as Part 2 of Bridgerton.
Taylor Tomlinson describes gut feelings as a calm, grounded knowing, distinct from anxiety's panicked reaction — a distinction she learned through years of therapy.
Taylor Tomlinson spent years in therapy working on her suspicion that an ex was cheating — only to later be told he had been seeing sex workers the whole time.
Taylor Tomlinson once confronted a boyfriend about a suspicious wristband found in his car, only to realize it was her own wristband that neither of them remembered.
A woman found a hidden camera stashed in a biscuit tin under her kitchen sink, containing pairs of photos of her stuff — keys, coat, purse — with no update ever posted. Taylor sees romantic obsession; Morgan sees a true crime doc waiting to happen. The darkest theory: he's photographing her things so he can move them for a guest and put them back in exactly the right spot.
A couples therapist assigned both partners an unsent letter exercise. The fiancé came home early, read his partner's letter addressed to his mother, declared it 'character assassination,' and demanded she apologize to his mom in person. Taylor's diagnosis: he went looking because he was ashamed of what he wrote about her.
A person built a secret room behind a flush-mount bookcase in their apartment before meeting their partner, then kept it secret for 8 months of cohabitation. When they finally revealed it, their fiancée was furious. Taylor's take: you should have never told her. Morgan's take: I'm scared there was a whole room I didn't know about.
A 23-year-old man found a pregnancy test at his parents' house, assumed it was his girlfriend's, and publicly confronted her at a New Year's party before proposing because he was 'stepping up.' The test was his mother's. Taylor clocked it immediately; Morgan's mind went straight to side chick.
Taylor Tomlinson described how years of jealousy and catastrophizing in relationships taught her to distinguish gut feelings — which feel calm and grounded — from anxiety, which feels like panic. She only got there after being wrong enough times, and sometimes devastatingly right.
Taylor Tomlinson worked through years of suspicion about an ex in therapy, convinced she was wrong to doubt him. Years later he told her he had been seeing sex workers the entire time. Her reaction: pure relief at being validated, not anger.
A husband locked his 6-months-pregnant wife outside for 25 minutes in the cold — while their toddler twins cried inside — to punish her for taking the kids out in the snow against his wishes. He opened the door smiling. Both Morgan and Taylor were alarmed, with Taylor wondering if he had a brain tumor.
A 31-year-old wife created fake Facebook and Instagram profiles in her husband's name, friended 30 of his exes and former flings, tried to dig up relationship dirt, then denied it, accused him of running the accounts, and deleted all evidence when caught. He's asking Reddit if it's time to leave.
Taylor Tomlinson explained that she was once deeply jealous and negative, jumping to conclusions in ways that destroyed relationships. She was wrong often enough that she actively tried to give people the benefit of the doubt — and being around a younger sibling who is generous and empathetic has helped rewire her default reactions.
Morgan Absher shared that fans regularly approach her at live shows to say Two Hot Takes helped them recognize patterns in their own bad relationships and leave. She also revealed she messages Reddit posters from her personal account and has sent strangers birthday cakes after being moved by their stories.
Taylor Tomlinson's position on the secret room story flipped entirely based on the poster's gender: if it's a woman, it's a charming childhood fantasy; if it's a man, it's suspicious practice for bigger lies. Morgan, meanwhile, was just creeped out either way.
A man surprised his escape-room-obsessed fiancée by having her 'kidnapped' and thrown into a moving van. She escaped into a Dave Buster's, dropped her phone, screamed at him to run, and the cops showed up within 2 minutes. He still didn't understand what he did wrong.
