LeeAnn is the purest soul on this planet. Her friendship with Whitney is inspiring. I love these two so much! 😭

[@laurenclark1304]

This is BY FAR the best version of Whitney I've ever seen! She seems so much more centered and it seems like becoming a mother is a role she always needed. Good for her! Keep up the mommy energy - it looks great on you! :)

[@samantha-lz7bk]

I love how calm and relaxed Whitney is with LeeAnn and the friendship between these three. LeeAnn is the sister we all need.

[@skygrrl195]

I think every young woman should have a friend like LeeAnn. She is the most self-aware person and it is inspiring to hear how she is able to navigate her crazy life, take care of herself, and help others by always trying to help/teach/guide. Her ability to self-reflect and to step outside herself to look at the whole picture is amazing! Thank you LeeAnn for always being unapologetically and authentically you!

[@ronniepeels7468]

Fake?

[@CraigSmith-qq3sr]

LeeAnn is a national treasure. Dealing with the Machine is got to be like working 5 jobs.😮😊😊😊

[@je__.]

ila : "make it 10 jobs" 😂😂

[@kshinokevin]

5-10 jobs: now, that's what I call multi-tasking...

[@apersonwiththoughts]

LeeAnn, you are the mom I never had and always wanted. So loving but unwavering in your values. And you do WORK for your relationships which shows me how much you value them. Your family is deeply lucky to have you.

[@magnoliamoonbloom6473]

I'm a parent of 6(ages 15-5) and I get so much out of this podcast. I usually end up with tears streaming down my face, but so many useful life/parenting/relationship tips. I love LeAnn and Bert's relationship and the relationship they have with thier children. Congratulations on 300 epidodes!! Keep em coming!!

[@jenburns8177]

Leeann is the only human that makes Whitney chill enough to be around

[@stephh1823]

As a long time "fan" of Whitney, the calmer and more secure transformation makes this fucked up world less fucked up. Her and LeeAnn + a fat suit= me. I loved this real, honest and vulnerable conversation of women my age that have been through shit and want to do better.

[@jaredpiper5173]

People that understand themselves and what they want is the most attractive thing I've ever seen.

[@clevermissfox]

I love these two ladies, so so excited for whitney to have a Bebe. Any day now the announcement should come!

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Every young person in a relationship needs to listen to you two! So wise!

[@saravtt]

I’m 7 weeks pregnant right now and I felt the same way about being a mom. I was so scared, always second guessing and doubting myself and thought I’d suck. But God really made it happen and I’m so excited.

[@jacquelinelindenau7881]

What a beautiful podcast. This was a very moving conversation.

[@Danaa.k1103]

This was such an insightful and wonderful conversation from top to bottom. Everyone should give it a listen when they have a moment. Love, love, love!

[@Heyitsdes1]

This is such an important podcast for interpersonal relationships! Whitney goes off on the specific things I needed to hear to help me in my relationship. Thank you. Also, I’m “guessing” she is def a Virgo. I know she is 😂 I can relate my dear.

[@Chococat_Ariana]

The whole talk about being triggered by vagueness is such a catharsis for me as I too share this trigger. This podcast has so many gold nuggets, I related and learned a lot from it. Thank you LeeAnn and Whitney 🙏🙏🙏 thank you thank you thank you 💟💟💟

[@keighleamartin8688]

I love watching friends compliment and praise each other 😊

[@whitneygrace395]

Holy shit. This whole podcast is so nessary in this hectic world. I haven't felt so interested and inspired by two women on a podcast in a long time.

[@jxstified7558]

Im a 26 year old guy and I liked this podcast episode a lot.

[@Michael_robertson]

Congrats on 300th episode.

[@saravtt]

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a podcast more in my entire life. Wow. Almost every single topic I was like “me too!!”

[@Vault4ce4680]

I have an almost instinctual sense of love for LeAnn. It's so intriguing to me that I have such a strong affinity for someone I've never met or spoken with. Her energy is amazing! I wish I had a Leann in my circle ❤️

[@cajuniky]

I have been enjoying Whitney's content so much lately, and this podcast epidose is just chef's kiss 👌 Will def be checking out more episodes 😊❤

[@jeanking6662]

I love all of the dynamics between you all. Whitney & Bert, LeeAnn & Whitney, Bert & LeeAnn,it all works. Sincere conversation anong friends. And Whitney, I agree that I like most comedians like I lot a lot of different cuisines. Some may not be for me but most I will give a chance with an open mind or pallet.

[@UnderArmour002]

Whitney will make a fine mother i just know it, She's just so down to earth.

[@lawrencepietrangeloiv2582]

Whitney is in the right on the apology thing. If my wife made a mistake but with the intention was her trying to help, I may get upset she did the thing but she wouldn’t owe me an apology. I’d just have a discussion with her on what happened and how to avoid that kind of mistake in the future, but that I appreciate her looking out for me. Because, whatever the damage from the mistake, in most cases, it will be much more short-lived than the benefit gained by having someone who is looking out for your best interest when you don’t need to ask them to. My wife and I often forget to handle our own lives sometimes because we are busy looking out for each other and trying to make each other’s lives easier.

[@Tonaj3]

I love you Lee Ann. I literally wrote down some things you said to hang them up. I’d love to read a book you wrote or even follow a daily guided planner!

[@kayleenvanderhorst]

I’m so glad I found this podcast! Sending you love and positivity! ❤❤

[@tammyelliott8460]

Love, love, love this show. Hurray to you both. I had a stay at home mom , but I knew that my folks were equals. Dad came home each week and handed over that check because he knew he could trust her to cover all the bills and feed and cloth all five of us. Me and my two older brothers were three very lucky Michigan kids. Oh and for all fifty years my folks were married she never bounced a check. And she was by his side (as were we all , and our spouses) till the day he died. I'm saying God bless you both for just being women and being so real. Thank you.

[@DagGror]

I always know I can find a funny and comforting conversation at the WOTP podcast. Thanks, LeeAnn!

[@sonyaromero5186]

I remember when LeeAnn and Bert did that personality test on Bert's podcast and how it explained how they are such a good fit and work! Can y'all repost it here? I'd love to revisit and contact that guy to do an analysis on my relationship.

[@je__.]

i think his name is jair rodriguez and its still up there on bertcast, just watched it couple months ago.. * i just looked it up, yup its betrcast episode #262

[@scottyrae4415]

Whitney looks adorable pregnant 😊

[@ilichramirezhomesteambroke7398]

If it's hysterical, it's historical!!! LOVES IT!

[@mistiemerritt6376]

I feel like im Trauma Bonding with you ladies in todays episode. I swear i never realized that the reason I ALWAYS run when things get tough. You're making me realize that i need to go back and focus on my childhood and past. Thank you so much 🙏🙏 You have no idea how much you are helping so many people by just relating and not feeling alone ❤❤❤

[@Haapanen91]

This is one of the greatest conversations ive heard in a while.

[@Michael_robertson]

Love, love, love the outfit Leeann. Love the green, love the fit. Kudos.

[@kimberlydlapp3441]

You have a terrific podcast! This is the first one and I'm hooked❤ There were wonderful things mentioned I wish more people shared in common with you guys. Bert's bracelet is probably Lepidolite

[@woodstockwitch]

Omg, I love you both so much!!! So nice to hear my own experience described, so validating. And I love how relaxed Whitney is as a guest, learning along with you, thank you for your honesty ❤

[@juniperbordeaux5988]

This was absolutely wonderful, thank you so much!

[@MubinNoor]

Loved this conversation so much! Such a calm, informative yet equally entertaining conversation. I knew bits and pieces of bert through whitney and she has spoken so highly of him and leeann always, and has always expressed such admiration for them. It was such an absolute pleasure getting to know both of them better, one of the best podcasts I've listened to a long time and I'm saying that being an avid listener to whitney's podcast, lol. Love whitney, looking forward to going back and watching more episodes.

[@WalmartMichealAfton]

Thank you Lee Ann and your guest Whitney. It's was just what I needed. Take care

[@juditcsefalvai2143]

LeeAnn, no idea how I just found this - but I love your directness and honesty ❤

[@wickedladybug]

I needed to hear this so much!!! ❤ Thank you ladies!!!!

[@je__.]

yesss.... been waiting for this episode to happen, finally! one of my favourite persons in the bussiness 😂😂❤

[@stephaniemaryon7348]

Couples therapy is to learn how to communicate together better, to set expectations, to create safe spaces for each other, to become more connected, to learn to be more empathetic, to really understand your partner, you feel like a team, you'll work together better

[@Usernamesaredumb666]

Love this version of Whitney so much 💕

[@sheefree]

This is so cute, I'm about to watch and enjoy, thanks you guys ❤😊

[@Marie_Jane]

Wish you weren’t coughing and could have had more input!! Loved this. You are a saint and an inspiration. Thank you for your service. I love your advice and hope you keep giving

[@bkakes4629]

You look great, Whitney!! So happy for you!!! You're going to be such a great mom!! I don't know you, obviously, but you have such an awareness and intention about you. You're going to rock this parenting thing!

[@seanscallen4901]

Wow, the sore winners part was genius. Very cool for her to point that out.

[@leonardinghram8060]

I enjoy you both down to earth commutative sharing yourself TY

[@mistiemerritt6376]

Damn i wish LeeAnn was my therapist. She is so good!!!

[@lav7161]

I only heard of LeeAnn before never seen her talk but after listening to her it feels like she's in full denial. She's holding onto hope and is willing to mold her life around Bert.

[@jasminerojas1204]

Loved this ep so much!!! ❤

[@jessicalynn1111]

Great podcast! Really enjoyed these topics. I love that Whitney is wearing a cross. Praise Jesus.💙

[@saravtt]

My husband and I do that game plan thing allllll the time. Always gotta be on the same page

[@ari-tw5vx]

This is very helpful and healing. ❤

[@findmeintime]

A truly perfect podcast

[@bori1986]

God I love Whitney

[@mccarraa]

I learned so much and haven't finished watched the podcast. They should do a weekly podcast

[@victoriaappelhans5787]

OMG… the sleep apnea. I’ve been saying the same thing for YEARS. People never use to use them and lived till 90 Now everyone needs them?!

[@robinedwards8796]

I LOVE this conversation ☺

[@troymodin1682]

Leeann, Whitney is going to need to lean on you the next couple years. She will be a great mom, but can tell she will need/want your in put and guidance.

[@littylikelia]

This is phenomenal

[@nicolew231]

Both of you are amazing!

[@zarsinoe2467]

Bless you both 🩵🩵🙏🙏

[@danclanlynch]

...and then Bert hijacked the podcast. 🤣 God bless you, Bert.

[@natjudge138]

Also yes, us poors hate a sore winner. I love how much bert loves what he does (and i love that whitney nailed this on the head)

[@Katelyn.Eby1215]

This was lovely ❤😊 holy shit I did NOT KNOW Whitney was pregnant. Good for her!!!!! Thanks for sharing y'all!! Xoxo

[@andrewpanciotti5518]

The best part of this podcast is when Bert leaves

[@workstudy8118]

Wow this is such a great podcast

[@PedroSanchez-yb1mb]

Dad here. I'd drop everything just for a date with Whitney

[@clevermissfox]

You may have a chance, she does date non-celebs

[@vince8395]

You must have issues

[@kenclarke5966]

I nominate pedro Sanchez as a date for Whitney

[@distantkc]

Great job with Whitney.

[@lleok]

2 and a half hours!!! PERFCT!

[@Workingonit24]

The mount of times that men apologize for no reason and with out not actually being sorry is literally unquantifiable. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You are literally talking about something we do for you on a daily basis

[@amycrowe2139]

So I saw short chips of Bert a few years ago…. He was pretty funny but not my favorite at that point .. then I discovered Tom and thought his stuff about his mother was hilarious, then I stumbled into watching Christina P! Then I watched Leeann which is so amazing… then I go back watch Bert some more! Now I’m laughing and liking him a lot better all because of Leeann . Whitney is unbelievably awesome I basically only started watching these characters because of her!!! Thank you love y’all all🎉

[@johnjohn1586]

Did Bert give himself a one handed massage and just casually stroll back into the pod lmao

[@st.a.r_]

52:31 “What. Is. A. Value?”. ❤

[@Indigenouscreature79]

Love the show! ❤ godbless!

[@rebeccaanne8546]

I love Whitney

[@booksgurrsandpurrs]

Book Club suggestion: And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott. I loved this episode, there were so many nuggets of wisdom. ❤

[@Wiseeydude]

What a great podcast

[@maldunham6574]

Great episode. We even got a “massadge” and a “tu-ttoo” from Bert

[@HH-gv8mx]

I prefer Whitney’s calm centered energy that she has when she’s with LeAnne vs. the manic energy Nikki Glaser brings out.

[@jhall900]

Brent got quick out of that one when Whitney knew what she was doing and touched his arm.. he looked at leannn real quick 😂 true love #pregwhit

[@carynmartin6053]

❤beautiful set design🎉 and Leeann looks even more beautiful, both inside and out!🎉❤😊 Whitney is glowing with health and beauty, herself.❤She looks great pregnant 🤰 🎉😊

[@bellamia7987]

I feel like I don’t have to go to therapy I just watch LeeAnn.

[@natjudge138]

"It's like a fucking thriller video...people are just like LIMPING onto the plane..." 😂😂😂😂

[@marycallahan7795]

Bert always talking about other comics levels of success and how he measures up is sad. Sober Bert is the best version. 💫

[@kellykonoske91]

Wow! Berts view of Chrstians in general says a lot about his character!

[@SailorGreenTea]

Yay

[@Lalechera21]

Need more Whitney on

[@HighFeeline]

I’ve loved Leeann since AYG and will never stop. Whitney, so much Love to you and your Baby. Eat that Placenta Sis! Cheri Oteri said she would pretend she was in tv in her childhood. It’s not weird Lovely🌹.

[@felipeormazabalmoraga7955]

The fact that the Machine is married to Treetrunks is hilarious.

[@user-if8wh1lj1x]

Whitney looks fuckin gorgeous here, wow!

[@ryansarahbentley5217]

It took me YEARS to learn my wife wanted traditional home roles, while being a completely independent and successful woman in her own right. She had to tell me to be a bit of a dominating jerk to her sometimes. (Which at where I was, brought me to what would be center in authority and the traditional roles of husband and wife). When I see successful women when doing marriage counselling, one of the first things we ask is if they want traditional roles and how they’d want to define them when married. 9/10 guys are shocked to learn their baddy just wants to be something resembling a SAHM with a non-traditional career with a traditional husband role for their partner.

[@unstoppabledoris]

Good 1st hour

[@bekahfee3242]

Mommy Whitney is my favorite 🥲

[@gregvilla3837]

Whitney is overthinking and micromanaging her relationship men are simplistic and we are down with what ever
