• Behind the scenes stories from 2018 worlds
• Which apparatuses are the stupidest and least stupidedest
• Forcing Morgan to try to come up with the names of MAG skills
• Heath's gymnastics idols, and his decision to be out publicly on the internet
• Embarrassing fan tales about the time Morgan met Aliya Mustafina
• The story behind Morgan's new floor routine, and if there are any other secret upgrades she can reveal to us
• The deal with Morgan's crazy elbow and her most recent surgery
• The Morgiboo Book Club – what are we reading this month?
