Need a full episode of Egypt breaking down retirement, investing, etc.

[@moniquehoyer-allen8235]

I love these podcasts for all the realness. I've been married 16 years and it is encouraging to see how others work through situations.

[@adolphusparrish9963]

I'm glad GOD brought this couple back together Happy Happy ❤

[@kwmonters1]

This was the most enjoyable podcast yet because of this realistic and hilariously honest mature couple. They shared so much to grow on. Love them😅😍

[@AllThingsSoul]

I'm a retired 911 Fire Dispatcher so I understand the trauma that builds inside the body and mind, taking call after call. Like he said, it's different today. Even dispatchers are immediately sent to a de-briefing to help with the mental trauma after being involved in a heavy call. This was a very needed conversation. Thank you Egypt and Mike!

[@DeeX7201]

I love it when Mike push thru and say, "naw I'm asking this question". Good job Mike!

[@lpage282]

Great Podcast! Married 15 years, no kids, separated 2 1/2 yrs. We’re still best of friends he’s always been here for me. There’s hope. 🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank you guys…Love it! I❤😂

[@jelliffcrystal]

Great show. As a guy married 31 years and feeling like a room mate sometimes this show was helpful.

[@tinieblaize]

THANK FOR YOUR SERVICE GARY!!! As an Army veteran who was deployed I definitely understand how what we experience becomes who you are. Not been able to comprehend what you're mentally going through is tough on not only you but your loved ones as well. I appreciate the realness and vulnerability. This was the best interview so far!

[@aprilshorty4094]

I finally caught another live but after this I'm going to sleep lol. Them not being public figures made this episode even better and I laughed so hard 😂😊❤

[@AmberCaprie]

I love how Mike makes sure y'all are covered legally before you share your gems. He's making sure he protects the bag 😂

[@hair399]

This was a GREAT interview!!!!!! Loved the transparency and real grown ass conversation. Kudos to Mike & Egypt for recognizing the value of the experience & wisdom Sharrarne & Gary had to share.

[@andreamiller9748]

It's great they were able to find their way back to each other!

[@frankieharrison356]

This episode was so real and vulnerable 🔥🔥🔥 and they had so many great nuggets of real life. Keep up the good work Egypt and Mike 🥰🥰🥰

[@andreanegron8451]

My favorite thus far! Wholesome and transparency at its best. Beautiful and great couple and story. Egypt and Mike asked the right questions too😅🏃‍♀️💨😂! Keep up the great work.

[@tranvday7]

I have been married for 32 and together 40 and we have 2 daughters. It takes commitment and God in the midst as head.

[@526vet]

I love this open honest conversation. ❤

[@jessyjonas4988]

Wow May the Lord continue to bless Our police officers, fire fighters, EMTs, and other paramedics Thanks to all

[@EgyptSherrodOfficial]

Indeed bless and keep them

[@christinebryant8354]

I heard someone say you plan for the wedding & not for the long haul of the marriage. I love their honesty about what happened in their marriage & I’m glad you’ll discover each other again.

[@ericabell2756]

Really love this episode! I am 2 months away from my 2 year wedding anniversary. And this helped me out being still in the “honey moon phase”. I love counseling. And this gives me a lot to keep an open mind to. That growing apart as you change is really what stuck out to me. And I want me and my husband to grow together! Thank u for being so open and transparent. These are the convos ppl shy away from. But newlyweds need to hear it

[@f72mos26]

Real conversation, thank you E & M and special guests. Sharrarne dishing out truths of evollution and growth.❤

[@dprince2773]

This was a very good episode. I love the realness and honestly about being married.

[@cleaningcrew6657]

LOVE! LOVE! This couple. What a stretch they've been on. Bravo!

[@amazing0714]

I really wanted her to give her Husband a Hug.. He loves his wife. He does not seem selfish.

[@ladyjayderam]

It's very sad that they separated while he was taking care of his mother alone😔 Gary seems like a very kind introvert. His wife compliments him well being an extrovert, confident and brutally honest 😊

[@carriehaouse1617]

Love this episode you guys kept it one hundred grown folk conversation

[@tammiewing9215]

Egypt & Mike my husband and I truly enjoy this podcast I’ve told several friends about it. We enjoyed hearing this story it reminded us of ourselves a lot Thank y’all for sharing

I am hollering! Really appreciate this honest exchange 👏🏾👏🏾

[@andreaprice6717]

What beautiful spirits you all are. Delightful couple the Morton's are (as are Egypt & Mike). I love how they let each other speak as well. Thanks for keepin' it real. We're all human after all. If we're fortunate, we ALL need a little Ben Gay occasionally as we age. Health issues come up, life comes up, what a great story of working together for a common goal. Thank you for all the honesty.

[@crystalstephenson8511]

Another REAL and RAW look into marriage, guys u are choosing the best guest, thank you.

[@chanreka]

Amazingly honest conversation! Thank you truly enjoyed 💟

[@robinowens2851]

Fabulous, as always!!!! Love it!!!!

[@MrsPriss-SanettaHead]

Loved,loved,loved this podcast. The Mortons covered so many things that can sabotage a marriage. Thanks for keeping it 100!

I love the honesty ❤

[@makulayekeson5753]

[@yesenialaw5706]

Love you two and everyone you have had has been amazing. This one here was the best. They were open and honest and so truthful. You cannot take real love in a real relationship. Thank you for doing this and much success.

[@VMT913]

Mike is a trip! Lol

[@andreaprice6717]

Yes! Seems like both he and Egypt really dig to the information that I learn the most from. Love it, them and their guests.

[@ginaadams-white4357]

😂😂😂 @ cramps because it happens even when you are in shape. We all grown. Talk that talk😂😂. I love ya'll

[@superlove.6797]

I believe God is a must because he will keep everything together where it belongs but you have to want it

[@BukolaRY_TV]

One of your best shows...... I like them.

[@familyofprofitabletraders9563]

Egpt thanks for the gems🙏🏾! Im 29 and ready and excited to implement better financial decisions.

[@chrissypacheco9635]

This was a great conversation. I think this was the funniest episode, yet. For sure! They were hilarious. Lots of great topics discussed. But for sure, the children do put a lot of stress on a woman.

[@MamaMama-bx2ln]

This was my first episode and it was such a gold one 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you to the Morton’s for your honesty and vulnerability.

[@TYD827]

Love all episodes BUT especially lovvvvedddd this episode bc of the realness. Like the old saying goes, "You'll catch more flies with honey."😊

[@VMT913]

I have truly enjoyed each podcast so far! Love Egypt & Mike. Wonderful guests and great advice/info!

[@carolynlong8701]

Love this podcast ❤so much great information and the couples always have something good to share 😊thank you so much.

[@melaninrx]

This was the best one yet!!! BJs and Ben Gay baby lol. Thanks you guys for another amazing episode.

[@EgyptSherrodOfficial]

Riiiight! 🤣

[@teridavis5050]

Listening to your significant other is vitally important. Being the primary/solely caregiver for your children is exhausting. Lastly, being on the same level sexually should be automatic. No one wants to have to drag it out you. Keeping it slim and sexy is where its at on a daily basis. I’m in total agreement with Mrs. Morton. On a side note I think when Mr. Morton accepted the separation, he walked into another level of confidence. Which, is extremely attractive. Additionally, I think the sexy texting is what’s up. Another great podcast.

[@carolynlong8701]

This was great interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@annetteanderson1015]

[@tracybadon4023]

How did you get your brows like that?

[@andreawatkins7145]

Egypt please state the fund that you referred to that guarantees a minimum income? I’ve tried to Google it and can’t find it..

[@EgyptSherrodOfficial]

Its called a GMIB which stands for Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Fund.

[@andrea48103]

@Egypt Sherrod Thank you so much for responding..tell Mike to stop interrupting ...that point was super important! Lol...your podcast is great..keep up the great work!!

[@tammylowman1876]

[@meekyw.4010]

6:55 She's gorgeous! 57 years old where at? 28:59 Egypt that's a lot to ask a Spouse, she's right to be honest about how much she can consumed. She's his Wife she's not a professional Therapist. I loved Mike during the BJ talk, he was so professional and took the conversation very seriously while Egypt was falling out!

[@andreaprice6717]

LOL Egypt had the look of, "WHAT is happening HERE?!?!!?!" Great discussion among mature adults about real life - the things that actually DO happen but are rarely talked about.

[@tracybadon4023]

You are a beautiful couple ❤

[@aj7009]

The Real Deal 👍

[@keyt4218]

I watched this episode. Why didn't they file for divorce during those 8 years of separation?

[@ladyjayderam]

Gary wasn't complimenting her and he was depressed then his mom fell ill. She wasn't feeling appreciated. Gary lived in the basement for a year. Thereafter she was dating. One day Gary left North Carolina to spend time with their 2 daughters and when she saw him wearing a nice suit and smelling good she decided to give their marriage another try only if Gary was receptive to going to counseling.

[@ladyjayderam]

😮@ 43:35 🔔@ 43:43 - 45:03 Earlier highlights: I don't feel he will ever be completely healed (major trauma)🙏🏾 @ 22:50 - 23:25 @ 24:15 his voice always lowers when he mentions it😔 even though he later reveals some relatives helped him take care of his mother💔 @ 25:10 @ 35:00 -35:40 @ 35:42 - 35:50😅😂 I thought the same thing fluffy?😒 Not a compliment for a man

[@babd7176]

I didn't know that Egypt is a Philly Girl.

[@trishhawks2987]

I think that counseling is still hard for men and women but mostly men of all races

[@Blue77Blue]

The mother is the primary
