I have to tell you, I’m a 73 yr old veteran and boring white lesbian with a cat and a new knee replacement. I absolutely love Leanne, I love hearing the clean humor…and she just cracks me up and now I’m going to be hooked on LeeAnn.

[@phlipperbrooks129]

I gotta tell ya ... your first sentence has gotta be the funniest comment I've ever read on here. 😂

[@maryannekendall3344]

I am a 58 year old widow with two teens. The interviewer here Is so right. You are talking about things that some of us, who feel invisible, identify with. I love your comedy. You make me feel understood and I can laugh about it. Love ya!

[@lauracwhitney]

I am a 77 year old mom and Grandma from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York State. I am already a very happy critter. Leanne’s wonderful humor makes me even happier!

[@kbop4928]

This episode was chicken soup for the soul. As a 29 yr old stay at home mom of toddlers , I needed this so bad.❤

[@bm421]

Focus on your kids and family and not Hollywood. You got this girl!

[@cheyennecarver9648]

Why don't you try to get comedian Gabriel Iglesias on he is so funny. I love Leanne I watch her all was and Gabriel aka fluffy

[@kelseyferro]

I don’t care who you are. Mrs. Morgan is an absolute pleasure. Her presence is magical and I love that her daughter is her makeup artist!

[@debbiewood3819]

...makeup artist,.....that couldn't be more perfect!!!

[@marylane3372]

Keep it in the family!

[@susichristianson3395]

The “LeeAnnes” Show has been so enjoyable, so real, so honest. Love how you talk about everything Southern.

[@shilohsimage2537]

Okay I have been sitting here eating up this whole thing and now I gotta stop a minute and say LADIES, and especially Leanne Morgan, you are HEALING people by sharing your stories the way you do. People are getting healed of shame, of the grumpies, of feeling alone and misunderstood, ignored and overwhelmed. You are seriously doing a holy, beautiful thing and I am SO grateful you kept on believing in the dream and that you keep going to share it. I could write you both a mini novel I just love you both. When we all get to heaven I'll find you and we can laugh together. Seriously, OH SO well done. Keep on! With love from a wife and Mama in Michigan who thinks she's funny (me) and keeps on plugging away at life too. :)

[@victoriaryanlpcpc8075]

You are wonderful, Leanne!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@vickyshultz357]

I.❤ Leeanne and can't wai/ for.the book..Le!none please narrate for Audible ❤🎉😂😅

[@vickyshultz357]

I can't type...sorry 49:44 49:44

[@shawn_anigans]

Leanne is so funny, and her humor is so wholesome. I love that I can watch an interview/special of hers with my kid in earshot and without worrying about her saying or any vulgarity.

[@pamelawood7200]

Leanne! I have watched your dry bar special over and over and over and never ever noticed your “nodule”! 😂

[@holliekent3610]

Me too!!! Drybar is how I found her! Love her! She is SO Yummy!

[@ErwinSays]

We all need a friend like these women. This was healing.

[@debrajones6677]

I love Leanne Morgan! I discovered her several months ago! She is an incredible inspiration to me! Because as crazy as it sounds I am a crisis Chaplain & I felt the Lord leading me in being a stand-up comedian years ago. I wrkd for Chick-Fil-a as a dinning room hostess and “entertained” the customers by telling them funny (clean) jokes & actual funny true stories of my life. I loved it! And I was making plans on going into assisted living homes & nursing homes & then the big Pandemic hit! So I had to put my “calling” of being a comedian on hold. But now I am seriously reconsidering allowing the Lord to help me get this dream to become a real reality! So Leanne has really inspired me to go for it! And I am older than Leanne. There is healing in laughter! And I’m all about making people laugh so healing will begin in their lives! Thank you Leanne for your inspiration & encouragement! I hope to meet her one day! 🖐️😊❤️

[@the1law969]

This is the best ever. The raw vulnerability and authenticity of both Leannes. It's like they are sitting in our living room like our best friends. I love that Leanne Morgan is so open about her faith and her life. How can you not love this woman?

[@dianabass4827]

You ladies have a lot of sense. Thank you.

[@BarbaraBowenPhotography]

Definitely laughter is necessary for our mental health! Thank you to both of you ladies! LeeAnn, I loved your bit on generation X compared to having Home Depot parents. I grew up in the 70’s and you described my childhood to a T. We played outside with our friends all day, ran the neighborhood barefoot, drank from garden hoses, picked wild blackberries to snack on while outside, roamed the neighborhood and went to the candy store and never told my mom where we were. Built and jumped out of tree houses, played dodgeball and liked it! 😊. It made us more independent and developed our imaginations. Keep those stories coming! Luv both of you! 💕💕🌞🌞🙏

[@countryfrau8328]

Wow! Now I see what I've missed by not having friends! Ha! These are smart women and I don't want this podcast episode to ever end! Thank you. This is a gift!

[@BlazingNana]

I really loved watching this episode! Hearing you two Southern Bells reminded me of my Daddy, from Upper East Tennessee. Today would have been his 80th birthday. So thank you for making me feel home for a few hours!

[@denisehill1674]

My niece from Morristown , TN was up visiting. She told me she had a home grown treat for me. She pulled her cell phone out and played some stuff she had downloaded . It turned out to be a couple of Leanne's shows. I could not believe how funny she was. I had a stomach ache from cracking up. I became an instant fan. Her words are comical enough. Add her movements and facial expressions and she really sets you up for the greatest funniest time you ever experienced. I just love her.

[@mistyfreeze2973]

My 2 favorite "LeeAnn/Leanne's together, so enjoyable!!!

[@susancherry5203]

I discovered Leanne a while ago. She is hilarious. I'm not from the south but I love her. I watch her over and over!

[@hhon8938]

Omg I looooved Dry Bar - that’s how I found Leanne and absolutely fell in love with her!!! That comedy is just unbelievably funny and fabulous!! I thought she was so pretty and loved that she’s a wife and momma and raised her kiddos. I was like I want to be like Leanne when I grow up! 😂 goes to show we are our own worst critics.

[@megynpike3462]

YOU TWO LADIES are my HEROS!!! thank you for being so REAL!!

[@karencordova7088]

Both of these ladies need to have their own sitcom, together!

[@MommaLousKitchen]

I'd tune in for sure.

[@lisalamorey3453]

Absolutely!

[@sharonviera9036]

💯

[@janetpartyka5968]

Good for you for talking to a therapist, Leanne. I'm so proud of you!!

[@user-oc2mt8kf2j]

I loved listening to these two women.

[@reeritz1280]

I was born & raised in Nashville in the early 50's, married & moved to Ohio. When I 1st heard Leanne's accent, I immediately thought of home & my Aunt EdeeMae..a ringer. I'd love to see Dolly Parton with Leanne...their accents sound very similar to me.😊❤

[@judymurray191]

Yes…Tennessee!

[@tlcHI]

We need this lovely dou to get together on a weekly basis and chat it up!!!! So sweet, positive vibes, and classy farm women!!!!

[@j4d7s8]

Her Netflix special is so great, I loved it! ❤

[@beckyp5376]

She is too stinking cute! I could listen to the 2 of you talk all day!

[@lauracwhitney]

I agree! They are both so pretty and talented.

[@dannnunn4821]

My grannie (originally from Kentucky) always said true beauty comes from the inside. My adult years have proven her to be 100% accurate on all her teachings. You can have a supermodel with a scowling Karen face, and there is no beauty in that. Both of you ladies show a genuine warmth and beauty that is all too rare in this world today. Blessings to all!

[@foxibot]

Lol “my grandmama was in a house coat with a long phone cord, shooting crows off the line, lol, she was a good shot!”

[@janetpartyka5968]

God love your little daddy and praise the Lord that his aunt and uncle loved him so much that they raised him as their own. I'm glad he's doing better and that he realizes he had nothing to do with the problems his mom and dad had. NOTHING. Thank you Wife of the Party.

[@cynthiajagneaux3949]

As a southerner from Louisiana, We love our life here & love each other. You two are such an inspiration for women!

[@lauracwhitney]

I recently discovered Leanne’s podcasts and I am so happy to be a fan. At the end of each of her. Ideas, I say “ Thank you!” to this gifted and beautiful young lady.

[@BonnChnd]

These ladies are warriors! Thank you for your stories. Leanne, I love you girl ♥️

[@hannahk1150]

I relate so much to the visiting great grandparents and aunts and uncles. It really does make a difference in the way you look at people and life.

[@lisachilders4200]

It is hard to make me laugh but Leanne Morgan makes me cry laughing 😂 I just LOVED your Netflix special 🌹 Big hug from Alabama ❤

[@Hvley]

I recently found out about Leanne Morgan because she started to pop up on my tik tok feed. She is so funny I totally love her humor I wanna see more of her!!!

[@user-ge2mp5kn3m]

Love Leanne. Truly amazing how she takes everyday life and turns it into clean comedy...GENIUS.

[@ShawntayThomasina]

Leanne Morgan brings me so much joy!

[@Ultra-Collector]

She’s absolutely brilliant! We adore her!🖤

[@1cosmocat]

What a wonderful find ,watched from start to finish.

[@lynnwilliams8295]

My older sister lives in East TN and Miss Morgan reminds me so much of her and the ladies in her friend group. Great people in the south.

[@marylane3372]

I remember running a trot line when I was younger. I had no idea that snakes tried to eat the fish on the hooks. My instinct told me to drop it. My Dad was mad that we had to go back to the plastic milk carton to pick the line back up.

[@kayleoutlaw5267]

y’all made me cry 3 different times during this podcast and I didn’t expect that at all. Y’all are exactly what my little soul needed today ❤️

[@ErwinSays]

This is just the best. Love both of these ladies!!!

[@josifw]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode - was like listening to my aunts and cousins talking! Literally covering every topic under the sun in 2.5 hrs.

[@clevermissfox]

Precious precious ladies, I adore these women. It makes me ache for a mama like these two. I haven’t heard this ladies comedy but I am a fan already. Thank you for having leanne on, LeAnn

[@SammyCamilleKyle]

I am a 34 year old man and it has always been my dream to be an actor and comedian. I have always believed it was meant for me. Like Leanne said when she would see her idols she would think “I’m gonna be like them” and just didn’t know how or when. That’s how I feel. I recently have become close to God and see how he has always had his hand on me. He is guiding me and I’ve surrendered. His timing is perfect

[@mrpapakc]

go for it, Sammy, what do you have 9lose?!?!?

[@donnaspence7052]

Absolutely love Leanne….The truth is real !

[@triciacoffey]

This single mom, to 5 of my kids, got a lot out of this conversation... appreciate what you are putting out; this was the first video of yours I've seen.

[@HawtDawgWadder]

Man, you two would have a lovely podcast together. To get more advice and life experience from two warm and loving mamas would be wonderful! I could listen to you both talk for days!

[@debodeeful]

Oh Leanne, Lost my Dad and then my husband suddenly just 10 mos apart between Nov 2015 to Sept 2016,. You and Anjelah Johnson-Reyes comedy have been the balm that remind me how blessed I was to have been married 32.4 yrs to my soulmate and birthed 6 babies, two whom are safe in their Daddy's arms. Keep up the awesome entertainment. Its therapy to many of us, who love remembering what it was like to be married to the love of their life with all the little quirks and laughter .❤

[@jilldaltonnyc7545]

What a darling podcast. I love the two Leanne's. I'm from the South and an army brat, so I can relate. I also did stand-up comedy for four and a half years after my divorce in NYC. And I'm here to tell you that's a hard road to hoe. I had to stop because I wasn't making any money, and my credit card was full. I went back to acting because at least it paid! I'm so happy Leanne is getting rewarded for all her hard work, huge heart, and tremendous talent. Big congrats to you both and Bert too.

[@Mzvandal]

I hope you can make your way back to comedy one day and have that card PAID!

[@maryellenanson2741]

hahah, you can hear LK's southern accent coming out stronger and stronger as she talks to LM. Love it!

[@sharonrichards7656]

The brain will do that!

[@jamesvickers7343]

I'm so proud to be southern after watching these two wonderful women!

[@roxannefebuary6823]

I can really relate to Leeanne Morgan. Shes so real.

[@PinkPosy1]

How did I miss this podcast for so long? Love Leanne and now love LeeAnn 😂

[@Nurse66]

I TOLD MY YOUNGER SISTER BY 16 YEARS THAT IS NOT AS BIG A DIFFERENCE NOW BECAUSE SHES 41 AND SHE LISTENS TO ME NOW AND REALISES THAT THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL IS INDEED A FREAKING TRAIN!!!! THAT WE SWITCH FROM MENSTRUAL PADS PRETTY DARN QUICK!!!! They are going to take our money!!!❤❤❤

[@pennynunn6979]

I could listen to the two of you, all day long! As another Southern gal (born in NC because my Daddy got a new job there as soon as my parents married in 1957, I was born in 1960) but raised here in Commerce GA since age 2.

[@BROWNEYEDGIRLWILEY]

I loved this. I can't believe I watched the entire thing. (I don't usually get to spend this much time watching anything). You two are fabulous. 🎉 keep cheering for strong women, (and Southern women). All the best as a 57 yr old woman, I see ya, I hear ya. ❤

[@jennifersheets5497]

I could listen to you both all night..

[@Irishredhead]

When Bert gets to much for me, I jump ship and watch his amazing wife, she such a sweetheart 🫶🏼

[@Ultra-Collector]

Is this his wife?

[@foxibot]

@@Ultra-Collector yeah.

[@SharonWallace-um1pf]

I grew up in Woodland Alabama..actually Newell...took piano lessons in Bowdon, Ga. Sweet Podcost. Enjoyed so much.

[@kathrynflanagan3272]

Leanne really enjoyed listening to u! You made so much sense! Thank u for your honesty!

[@tiatowery6409]

I just love Leanne Morgan.I wish I could see her live.She is the real deal.

[@jeanneromansky9359]

Really enjoy listening to these women. I feel inspired by their honesty

[@Valboy380]

I'm beyond words. I was so enthralled with you both. I couldn't stop listening not withstanding the emotions and connection you both shared. Beautiful all the way around. You're my favorite Leanne Morgan bar none. I just turned 65 and it's been rough this past year but you bring me such hope and joy. I'm Christian btw. Thank you from the bottom of my heart & soul. I mean that. 😢

[@user-hu9jn6xd2i]

This could have gone another 2 hours and I wouldn’t be mad!

[@terrylwamsteeker4394]

This was an amazing podcast!!! I've never had 2.5 hrs fly by so quickly & still leave me wanting more. They were so authentic and I loved that about them. Great job ladies. You made me see alot of things in my own life differently & I thank you so much for that! Take care & stay safe. Most of all laugh! 😂

[@tguzlas]

What a delight you two ladies are. Thank you for being such wonderful examples of ladies willing to take a risk and reinvent oneself. Bless you both.❤

What I like with Leanne’s style is that she tells the good & bad of her life and her timing can’t be beat. My male fav is Jim Gaffigan. He too talks abt his life and family.

You guys covered so much ground. Important ground. Real life on the ground. My husband called me once to read the junk mail to me. He said, "Seriously, do you think we should do this publishers clearing house." 😂😂😂

[@michelemurphy3541]

Wow…what a wonderful podcast. This was so soothing, happy, lovely, joyful, fulfilling, cathartic~Thank You both for the, well, wonderment. Thank you and sending love and admiration and gratitude for this fantastic heart to heart style podcast. My Soul needed this. ❤

[@shilohsimage2537]

p.s. You could call it a healing ministry, because there is healing to the bones that happens when we can laugh at all the stuff of life that is common to us all and drives us bonkers. ;)
