The Matt Walsh Show - Am I The A＊＊hole？ Matt Walsh Decides - Deleted Scenes

00:00:00.000 So today we're going to try something a little different. Again, I always like doing this

00:00:03.740 because as your theocratic fascist dictator, one of my duties is to listen to the people

00:00:09.240 and hear their problems and then judge them ruthlessly. Thankfully, Reddit's Am I the

00:00:14.820 a**hole forum provides us plenty of fuel for this a**hole fire. Take a listen.

00:00:21.560 Am I the a**hole for kicking my husband out of the delivery room? I, 23 female,

00:00:26.640 my husband, 24 male, just had our first baby. My husband was so excited and was super supportive

00:00:31.960 and caring throughout the pregnancy. The only thing is that he became slightly obsessed with

00:00:36.740 watching YouTube and TikTok videos of husbands pulling pranks on their wives while in labor.

00:00:42.900 I just got an idea for a different series of YouTube videos we have to do now. I didn't mind

00:00:46.260 at first, but then he started casually joking about doing things he saw in the videos saying it would

00:00:50.460 be funny. I clearly stated my distaste for them and asked him not to do anything like what he saw.

00:00:55.780 He agreed and continued to joke about it from time to time, but I brushed it off since I trusted him

00:01:00.420 and thought nothing would come of it. The day of the delivery came and I had been in labor for eight

00:01:04.560 hours. I had just finished another round of contractions when my husband let out the loudest

00:01:10.020 fart, turned to me and said, what the hell have you been eating? It smells disgusting. I immediately

00:01:15.920 recognized that as one of the pranks in the videos. Outraged at him, not honoring what I asked him not to

00:01:20.760 do. I demanded that he leave the room. He started to argue saying that it was just a joke, but I

00:01:27.480 insisted and luckily the nurse helped him get out. The nurse helped him, helped him leave. I went

00:01:32.780 through the last four hours of labor by myself since my family lives out of state and I'm not close to

00:01:36.700 my mother-in-law. After the delivery, I told the nurse he could come back into the room and he was

00:01:40.580 fuming. He started demanding that I tell him why I kicked him out. I calmly told him the reason,

00:01:44.960 but he was pissed. He hasn't talked to me in a week. His mom is taking his side saying that I was a

00:01:49.660 complete for kicking him out. Normally he will defend me from her, but this time he completely

00:01:53.540 agreed. I might be the because I know how much he was looking forward to being there for the birth

00:01:57.900 for our first kid and especially when he got to cut the cord, but I still kicked him out and I

00:02:03.080 refused to let him back in. The nurse asked a few times if I wanted him back in, but each time I said

00:02:07.900 no. So am I the for kicking my husband out after a stupid prank that he agreed not to do? First of all,

00:02:13.220 your husband is the a-hole purely because he spent weeks researching delivery room pranks and

00:02:19.300 that's the one he settles on? No offense, but you are a stupid a**hole. After weeks of watching all

00:02:26.080 these videos, which do sound really hilarious and I want to check some of that myself, but that's

00:02:31.380 what you end up doing? Just the best you could do after all that time and all that preparation? You

00:02:36.760 had weeks, man, and the best you could do was fart and blame it on your wife? Leaving that aside,

00:02:43.220 yeah, he's the a-hole. Because look, fellas, you antagonize your wife while she's giving birth

00:02:52.120 and you get what you get. I feel sorry for, you know, you about as much as I feel sorry for

00:03:00.780 somebody who gets eaten while wrestling a crocodile. It's like these are choices you make in life and

00:03:09.160 you live with the consequences. You knew what you were getting into. You knew the risks and you decided

00:03:15.260 to do it anyway. And besides, third thing, he's also kind of the a-hole for being upset about being

00:03:22.200 kicked out of the delivery room. I've been through this four times. I would have loved to get kicked

00:03:27.540 out. Who wants to be in the delivery room anyway? I know I'm one of the only guys who will say this

00:03:32.660 out loud, but I tell you right now, I'm not the only guy who feels this way. That I don't really, like

00:03:37.340 it's kind of gross and I don't feel a great need to be there. I shouldn't have gone in there. I wish

00:03:42.280 we could go back to the days where men hung out. This is what they used to do back in the old days,

00:03:46.080 okay? They had a smoking room in the hospital and you would sit there while the woman does all the 1.00

00:03:52.400 delivery stuff and you would just sit there, you'd read a newspaper and you'd smoke a cigar.

00:03:56.620 That's right. It's a baby. And then when the baby's born, you'd go into the room, you'd say

00:04:01.460 hello to the baby and you'd leave and you'd check back in about the time that they, you know,

00:04:06.400 graduate middle school. That's the way it should be. Okay. All right. Um, next one. Am I the a-hole

00:04:12.520 for wanting my son to get along with my boyfriend? Sean is my 13 year old child and I am a single

00:04:18.020 mother. Connor, my current boyfriend, of course his name is Connor, and I have been together for two

00:04:22.940 years. Sean has disliked Connor for as long as you can remember. He would go upstairs and ignore

00:04:27.660 Connor whenever he came to my place. Even though I let Connor drop Sean off at school, Sean has never

00:04:31.940 once expressed appreciation or bonded with Connor. Connor pretended to be unconcerned by his actions,

00:04:36.620 but I could tell he was hurt by all of it. I asked him why he despised Connor so much. He gave a list of

00:04:41.900 various reasons, some of which I seriously doubt. To begin with, he claims that when Connor dropped him

00:04:46.240 off at school a couple of times, he made derogatory remarks about his Asian friends, calling him a

00:04:51.380 little Kung Pao chicken, et cetera. It's not funny. Sean mentioned the time Connor didn't give his

00:04:58.940 guinea pig water. And when he and I were at the beach a year ago, he was house sitting for three

00:05:04.120 days. Sean also mentioned how Connor advised him to man up in a number of circumstances. I basically

00:05:09.720 told him straight up that I don't believe anything he's saying. I confronted Connor after that and he

00:05:13.440 denied all of it. So because Sean lied, I took away his gaming consoles as punishment. I also

00:05:18.180 lectured him about abusing Connor, who might be his new stepdad one day. Sean told his father,

00:05:23.580 my ex, what had happened. Now my ex is cursing at me for being unfair towards my son. Am I the a-hole?

00:05:29.080 Okay. Yeah, you're the a-hole. Look, I don't know your situation. I don't know why you aren't married to

00:05:36.340 Sean's dad. But what I do know is that what Sean wants, what all kids want, is for their parents to

00:05:43.000 live together in the same house and have a real intact family. Like they're real parents, both of

00:05:48.040 them. Like that's, that's what Sean wants. That's what your kid wants. And like, if you can't handle

00:05:51.620 that, grow the hell up. And if they can't have that for whatever reason, you can't blame them for being

00:05:56.100 upset or for not being especially fond of the runner up prize. Hey, Sean, your dad and I, you know,

00:06:03.940 you can't have a real dad, but here's Connor. Why don't you settle on that instead? And besides,

00:06:10.060 he's just your boyfriend. So Sean doesn't know if this guy will be actually a permanent fixture in

00:06:17.060 your life. Have you thought about that? How many, let me ask you, how many boyfriends have you had

00:06:22.260 since the father of your child? I'm guessing more than one. So how many times has Sean been expected

00:06:31.700 to develop a father-son relationship with the new guy in your life who just ends up getting,

00:06:36.500 you know, ends up out of the picture in a year or two anyway. You might have your hands full once

00:06:40.320 I'll pick up the control though. Have you ever thought about the fact that, that, that there's

00:06:43.100 this continual effect of abandonment that your son is going through. And so now he's putting up defense,

00:06:49.460 defenses against that because he's tired of being abandoned by one man after another,

00:06:55.700 whether it's the man's fault or yours or a combination, probably a combination. Have you thought

00:07:01.440 about that? Well, that's it. Those judgments are absolutely final. And, uh, if you want to hear

00:07:06.660 more of my judgmental tone and everything else that you get from this channel, then make sure that you,

00:07:11.360 uh, you hit like and you hit the notification bell and you subscribe and you better do it right now.
