Chapter 1: What should we leave behind in 2024?
no we're like the three chip the chipmunks the christmas chipmunks see it works that i'm in the middle because balance out the blues oh my god you're so good we gotta get you in the studio with justin start making some actual music a chipmunk christmas album i could i could sing chipmunk see with a filter i'd be so down to sing and i think me with a filter would be good
Oh, my God. What could we like? We could sing like, Mary, did you know? I heard the like Pentatonix version of that song recently. I was like, OK, this goes hard. This goes hard. No, it's good.
Are we ready, friends? Yes.
Yes.
OK. I'm really nervous for this episode. Why, queen? Well, well, this is the last Too Hot Takes episode of 2024.

Chapter 2: How should I handle my mother-in-law's disrespect?
Forever.
I know. I know. I kind of paused there a little bit and I'm like, it's actually the last one.
It's kind of like when One Direction was like, we're taking an indefinite pause.
Is that how they worded it?
Something like that.
I was never a direction or something.
Yeah, it's always the language of like, it keeps you hoping.
Yeah.
But then you just kind of know it's never going to happen again.

Chapter 3: What should I do if my boyfriend cheated?
Yeah, which is the silent generation.
So the silent was getting it all. Silent was going crazy. Imagine that time.
Yeah, well, and I think even now, I'm forgetting the stat because it's been a while since I've heard it, but like STDs in nursing homes are rampant. Oh. Rampant. They do be banging. They're going out with a boom.
Good for them. And what else should they do? Podcasting.
Yeah.
I'm going to go...
Mobile rig. The rig just like rolls in, has two chairs on it, two mics. It's got a ramp. Sit down, grandma.
You can walk up with a walker or a chair. I think that's my goal, 2025.
Oh my God. I would love like a video episode of you reading two outtake stories to like a panel of grandmothers. Say less. Say less. Say less. It's beautiful to me.

Chapter 4: How do I cope with embarrassing moments in relationships?
Let's dive in.
Okay, up first, this is coming from our very own Two Hot Takes subreddit, 21 hours old, titled, Am I the asshole for getting upset with my mother-in-law for calling my son by the wrong name because she likes it?
This diva.
My son is four months old. My husband and I absolutely love his name. However, my mother in law recently started calling him a girl's version of his name because she likes the name. Mother in law does not live near us. So at least it isn't to his face. My husband has told her to not call him that because not only is it not his name, but it's typically a girl's name.
We just received Christmas gifts in the mail from mother-in-law with the girl's name and a smiley face written on his gift. Am I the asshole for being upset about this? Should we just let it go?
I just think if parents have strong rules about how they want to raise their kids, all of the other people should respect that. I would love to know what the names are so that I could be like, all right, like it's really that crazy. Like Marty and calling him Mart. I don't know. Yeah. Or Marta.
Mart. Hey, Mart.
That was just closest top of my head.
But like, I totally agree. It's like... Alex, Alexa.

Chapter 5: What to do if your partner is overly controlling?
well it's like i don't know how much effect in the long run it would actually have on your child but if you want to set i'd be fucked up i'd be like grandma doesn't know my name yeah but you pick up nicknames like you get nicknames in middle school from and you don't choose them and it just happens and it's like imagine your parents went and hunted down everyone it's like you need to call them blah blah and just i don't know i get it because it's
Within the family.
Yeah.
And it's so direct to where it's being written on a card and on a gift. Where it's kind of like message not received. I'm going to keep doing this and I don't care. Then you got to start setting the boundary.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my name is Michaela and some of my friends call me Mitch, which is like kind of a boy's name. But I also think it's cute. I don't think it would have given me a complex growing up. But I think like what's important is if parents say we don't want them watching this episode.
tv rating or we don't want them blah blah i think that the external or whatever family should respect that especially yeah if they've said it and they mean it movies is a big one and like food grandparents will fight like if they're like we really don't want her having two whole chocolate cakes and and snickers and mountain dew like let's give her an apple maybe some carrots and Then a cookie.
And grandma's like, you're not going to tell me how to babysit when I'm watching my grandkid. It's like, yeah.
Grandparents do that with dogs real bad.
Oh my God.

Chapter 6: How do I support a friend going through a breakup?
That's what I was thinking.
This story a little bit's giving Bach from Wicked.
Bok. Bok, bok, bok, bok, bok, bok, bok. Me and Bok.
No one saw the remix? I did see. I actually did see that today.
It's like a dubstep remix.
And the actress kind of like dancing to it. I didn't see that. Oh, she posted it. She was like, what the hell shirt?
Marissa? Yeah.
Who you met?
She's so fucking cool. Sorry, sorry. How can we make every episode about Wicked?

Chapter 7: What are the signs of an abusive relationship?
So it's like, that's an extra nail in the coffin there. I just scheduled an appointment to see my doctor. I have awful contamination OCD too. So this whole situation makes my skin crawl zero out of 10. And there is like, I looked at Opie's account. There is a post history talking about like a metaphobia. Oh my God.
Wow. Yeah.
So like,
It's time to look forward. Put the blinders on. Pass is in the past.
2025 is going to be amazing. 2025, leaving this dude behind.
It's going to be your year, baby.
But I understand like the difficulty in immediately separating from that person. I think it sounds a lot easier in theory to be like, oh, yeah, someone she don't even got someone else pregnant. Obviously, I'm immediately leaving. I have more self-respect than that. And like, yeah, in the ideal world, when you're a little bit separated from the situation, you will.
And you'll feel better later on that you did that. But when you're in the moment and that's your best friend, like that is so hard to emotionally detach all of those crossing.
It's the worst. It's like the worst feeling.

Chapter 8: How can I forgive and move on from past mistakes?
bombarding someone and controlling them and, like, humiliating them and belittling them. Like, that doesn't fix whatever you're saying is the problem in your head.
Yeah.
Insane. Someone does point out the comment, like, point three, do all the cooking and cleaning for a month. One of these things is not like the other.
He's just like, sneak that in there.
All the others make sense, but this one... Sleep in the spare room until he wants me back in bed with him. This last one is not okay. It's like putting a dog in its crate. And you're not even supposed to put dogs in their crates as punishment. Crates should be a safe space. So it's like, get out of here. Go sleep in the spare room. It's like, until I want you. Like...
This is a person, not a yo-yo. Insane.
People who actually get cheated on aren't even reacting this meanly. Right.
I'm just... I'm blown away. I'm not seeing any comments from OP, but someone does point out something interesting about... Throughout all of this, OP never mentioned that this kind of behavior was abnormal for him. Being upset and betrayed is one thing. Screaming at her every night and taking advantage of her guilt is totally different. Sounds like he's lashing out trying to punish her.
They need therapy, says the next comment. next comment down he's trying to figure out how to work it to his advantage he can get out of cooking and cleaning forever well you have to make it up to me so for the rest of our lives you have to do all the cooking and cleaning without complaint because you flashed my friends that one threw me for a loop says the next comment yeah it's just so weird okay
