The Matt Walsh Show - 'I HATE My Husband's Dog! AITA？' Matt Walsh Decides

00:00:00.000 Are you guys even listening to me?

00:00:01.780 You guys are ass

00:00:02.900 You're ass

00:00:04.300 Okay, it's time for some

00:00:05.760 M.I. the A-hole quandaries

00:00:07.720 This is from Craig says

00:00:09.240 Dear Matt, I have been watching you for years

00:00:11.200 but still can't call you sweet daddy

00:00:12.800 Sorry

00:00:13.280 Well then you're already the A-hole

00:00:15.300 We already know what the answer is

00:00:17.480 I recently came home from the store

00:00:19.860 with some blueberries

00:00:20.700 My daughter immediately asked for them

00:00:22.500 and wanted me to wash them for her

00:00:24.020 something my wife requires of all produce

00:00:25.920 that comes from the store

00:00:26.740 I didn't want to

00:00:27.900 so I told my daughter that I didn't need to

00:00:29.620 because blueberries are naturally antimicrobial

00:00:32.720 Of course my wife came upon her

00:00:35.000 munching the unwashed blueberries

00:00:36.360 and is now mad at me

00:00:37.360 reacting like I force fed my daughter

00:00:38.820 raw chicken or something

00:00:39.940 To not lose face in front of my daughter

00:00:41.720 I simply handed my wife a blueberry

00:00:43.300 and asked her to point to the offending microbe

00:00:45.540 When she couldn't immediately do it

00:00:47.640 I claimed victory

00:00:48.540 and retained the title of

00:00:49.960 most scientifically sound parent in my home

00:00:52.080 Am I the A-hole?

00:00:53.180 Not for that

00:00:53.620 I think that's pretty good science

00:00:55.820 I think

00:00:56.360 It's science

00:00:57.080 Of course the way you started the email

00:00:58.460 is why

00:00:58.820 so you are because of that

00:01:00.060 but on this particular issue anyway

00:01:01.640 that's just science

00:01:03.220 and look

00:01:03.700 I know there's

00:01:04.180 some people are

00:01:05.580 pretty diligent

00:01:06.900 and obsessive

00:01:07.720 about

00:01:07.920 you gotta wash all the produce

00:01:09.080 you know

00:01:09.780 it's not gonna kill you

00:01:10.600 it's not gonna kill you

00:01:11.520 or maybe it will

00:01:12.340 I don't know

00:01:12.820 Honey that's poison

00:01:13.740 but that's always been

00:01:15.880 that's my health guidance

00:01:17.480 is that

00:01:18.180 you know

00:01:18.520 if you do something

00:01:19.200 you eat something

00:01:19.760 it doesn't kill you on the spot

00:01:21.200 that's probably fine

00:01:22.100 this is why I'm not a

00:01:23.300 nutritionist

00:01:24.420 Susie says

00:01:25.720 Hi Matt

00:01:26.180 my husband and I have

00:01:27.000 three very young daughters

00:01:28.200 and he also has a teenage boy

00:01:29.660 and girl

00:01:30.120 with an ex-wife

00:01:31.000 he and his ex-wife

00:01:32.120 have a contentious relationship

00:01:33.280 and their kids live with her

00:01:34.700 and their stepfather

00:01:35.640 in a different state

00:01:36.320 I've only met his kids

00:01:37.680 a handful of times

00:01:38.440 and do not have any relationship

00:01:39.440 with them

00:01:39.940 his ex-wife does not help

00:01:41.380 to foster any relationship

00:01:42.360 between him and the kids

00:01:43.240 but now that the teenage boy

00:01:44.420 is displaying behavioral issues

00:01:45.760 she wants him to come live

00:01:47.520 with his father

00:01:48.200 naturally my husband

00:01:49.380 wants to have him

00:01:50.420 move in with us

00:01:51.020 I told my husband

00:01:51.940 that this is not an option

00:01:53.200 as we have three young children

00:01:54.280 we're raising

00:01:54.780 and I don't think it's fair

00:01:55.700 to disrupt their lives

00:01:56.540 in that way

00:01:57.000 I'm also extremely uncomfortable

00:01:58.560 with a troubled teenage boy

00:01:59.940 who my children do not know

00:02:02.600 suddenly living in a home

00:02:03.580 with them

00:02:04.040 I barely know the boy

00:02:05.200 and my husband works all the time

00:02:06.260 so I would also be responsible

00:02:07.240 for caring for him

00:02:07.900 the majority of the time

00:02:08.620 my husband says

00:02:09.580 that he understands

00:02:10.180 that it's a lot to ask of me

00:02:11.560 but he thought

00:02:11.940 I'd be more supportive

00:02:12.680 I would never do anything

00:02:13.560 to jeopardize my daughter

00:02:14.440 safety or stability

00:02:15.300 so I will not permit

00:02:16.500 his son to live with us

00:02:17.300 the boy is being raised

00:02:18.340 by two parents

00:02:18.900 who are well off

00:02:19.580 and he also has

00:02:20.320 his sister with him

00:02:21.380 I believe they're the ones

00:02:22.560 who need to deal

00:02:23.060 with his behavioral issues

00:02:24.060 but I also feel

00:02:25.020 a measure of guilt

00:02:25.640 because of the pain

00:02:26.340 the situation causes

00:02:27.320 my husband

00:02:27.700 am I the a-hole

00:02:28.360 I'm not going to say

00:02:29.720 the a-hole

00:02:30.180 but I think you are wrong

00:02:31.560 I think you are wrong

00:02:32.860 and this is

00:02:33.660 some of this

00:02:34.860 is the unwinnable

00:02:37.080 lose-lose

00:02:38.480 situation

00:02:39.860 that is created

00:02:41.220 by divorce

00:02:42.520 I get emails

00:02:43.560 like this all the time

00:02:44.500 for this segment

00:02:45.120 and other segments

00:02:45.820 and it's always

00:02:47.600 you know

00:02:47.940 it's like a long story

00:02:48.920 about husband's divorce

00:02:50.040 my wife's divorce

00:02:50.760 here's what's going on

00:02:51.660 in the family

00:02:52.140 mixed family

00:02:52.700 and a lot of problems

00:02:55.240 what's the way through this

00:02:56.560 what's the solution

00:02:57.220 well there is no

00:02:58.040 perfect solution

00:02:58.720 it's just

00:02:59.360 when families

00:03:01.060 are broken apart

00:03:02.460 it creates

00:03:03.340 a lot of

00:03:04.540 lose-lose situations

00:03:05.620 it creates

00:03:06.120 a lot of situations

00:03:06.860 where there is no

00:03:07.920 great answer

00:03:09.340 and this is one of them

00:03:11.380 but I will say

00:03:12.300 that that is his son

00:03:13.840 he has a responsibility

00:03:15.520 to his son

00:03:16.460 and I don't think

00:03:18.720 you can tell

00:03:19.500 a man

00:03:20.660 I don't think

00:03:20.960 you can tell

00:03:21.240 your husband

00:03:21.600 that he can't

00:03:22.180 have his son

00:03:22.880 live with him

00:03:23.620 now I know

00:03:24.440 this is

00:03:24.820 again this goes

00:03:25.440 to the unwinnable

00:03:25.980 situation

00:03:26.440 where you guys

00:03:27.720 are married

00:03:28.180 he has a child

00:03:29.260 and you don't

00:03:30.520 care at all

00:03:31.640 about the child

00:03:32.860 it seems fair

00:03:34.880 to characterize

00:03:36.380 it that way

00:03:37.100 that's why

00:03:37.440 it's so much easier

00:03:37.940 when families

00:03:38.380 stay together

00:03:38.880 because then

00:03:39.580 you share the children

00:03:40.760 and hopefully

00:03:41.340 you have a mutual

00:03:42.060 love and concern

00:03:43.540 for the children

00:03:44.140 but here

00:03:44.800 you know

00:03:45.300 you don't have that

00:03:46.640 but yet

00:03:46.940 that is his son

00:03:48.300 that's his child

00:03:49.040 that's his boy

00:03:49.640 so no

00:03:50.640 I don't

00:03:51.140 I don't think

00:03:51.640 you can tell

00:03:52.400 I don't think

00:03:53.020 it's right

00:03:53.360 to tell your husband

00:03:53.920 that he can't

00:03:54.600 have his own son

00:03:55.380 in his house

00:03:56.520 with him

00:03:56.800 what's the biggest

00:03:57.900 summer secret

00:04:38.800 large under eye

00:04:39.840 bags

00:04:40.320 and they seem

00:04:40.840 to be growing

00:04:41.360 every day

00:04:41.900 it looks like

00:04:42.340 his skin

00:04:42.700 is slowly

00:04:43.100 shriveling up

00:04:43.900 and it's all

00:04:44.500 just becoming

00:04:44.920 one giant

00:04:45.860 under eye bag

00:04:46.860 it's grotesque

00:04:47.660 to look at

00:04:48.320 needless to say

00:04:49.300 it's extremely

00:04:49.840 upsetting for me

00:04:50.860 really puts me

00:04:51.660 in a bad head space

00:04:52.800 before I start my show

00:04:53.920 so I've forced

00:04:54.500 Austin to start

00:04:55.660 using GenuCell

00:04:56.500 and just like magic

00:04:57.440 his eyes

00:04:58.760 like they packed

00:05:00.040 bags for a month

00:05:00.840 long vacation

00:05:18.080 what's next

00:05:19.280 from Cool Dad

00:05:21.120 dear sweet daddy

00:05:22.220 my two kids

00:05:23.200 my wife and I

00:05:23.820 were headed up north

00:05:24.500 for a day of skiing

00:05:25.300 after two hours

00:05:26.060 in the car

00:05:26.560 my wife had to stop

00:05:27.480 and use the restroom

00:05:28.100 at a gas station

00:05:28.860 we stopped at a gas station

00:05:30.700 in the middle of nowhere

00:05:31.520 they had eight pumps

00:05:32.560 with one person

00:05:33.300 gassing up

00:05:33.940 and zero cars

00:05:34.660 to be seen

00:05:35.060 for at least a mile

00:05:35.880 the ground was covered

00:05:37.040 in 10 inches

00:05:37.540 of fresh snow

00:05:38.180 so I pulled up

00:05:39.020 to the 12 foot section

00:05:40.420 of cleared pavement

00:05:41.420 to allow my wife

00:05:43.460 to get inside

00:05:44.020 without walking

00:05:44.620 in 10 inches of snow

00:05:45.400 I then parked

00:05:46.360 in the nearest spot

00:05:47.160 that was handicapped

00:05:47.900 so that when she came out

00:05:48.840 she wouldn't have to

00:05:49.320 walk in the snow

00:05:50.000 for the record

00:05:50.900 there were two

00:05:51.300 handicapped spots

00:05:51.920 on either side

00:05:52.480 of the 12 foot

00:05:53.100 cleared pavement

00:05:53.860 the gas station attendant

00:05:55.220 about my same age

00:05:56.240 then comes out

00:05:56.780 and starts screaming

00:05:57.600 at me

00:05:57.960 demanding that I prove

00:05:58.880 that I'm handicapped

00:05:59.760 I responded with

00:06:01.140 what difference does it make

00:06:01.980 who am I blocking

00:06:02.540 from parking in the spot

00:06:03.500 he screams and shouts

00:06:04.540 it doesn't matter

00:06:05.300 you're not handicapped

00:06:06.200 I continue to sit there

00:06:07.560 stare him down

00:06:08.120 and refuse to move

00:06:08.820 as we drive away

00:06:09.980 he literally jumps

00:06:10.880 and shouts

00:06:11.380 you entitled people

00:06:12.800 don't come back

00:06:13.740 did he shake his fist as well

00:06:15.020 tell me he shook his fist

00:06:16.060 don't you dare come back

00:06:17.720 why

00:06:18.340 as we got back

00:06:21.260 on the freeway

00:06:21.740 we all laughed at it

00:06:22.780 and I used it

00:06:23.420 as a teaching opportunity

00:06:24.140 to tell my kids

00:06:24.740 not to be scared

00:06:25.300 of people like that

00:06:26.120 and use common sense

00:06:27.200 it has now become

00:06:27.820 a memorable

00:06:28.440 funny family story

00:06:29.540 am I the a-hole

00:06:30.080 no

00:06:31.840 not at all

00:06:32.800 not at all

00:06:33.360 I mean first of all

00:06:34.140 I would have responded

00:06:34.680 to the guy

00:06:35.140 okay first of all

00:06:36.380 handicap

00:06:37.020 is not the

00:06:38.300 you know

00:06:39.000 it's disabled

00:06:40.000 or not even disabled

00:06:40.880 what is it

00:06:41.220 what's the

00:06:41.600 what's the term of art now

00:06:42.880 I don't even think

00:06:43.340 it's disabled anymore

00:06:44.020 it's definitely not handicapped

00:06:45.500 can't say that anymore

00:06:46.760 I'm not handicapped

00:06:48.120 I'm sorry

00:06:49.160 differently

00:06:50.300 advantaged

00:06:51.820 so I would have responded

00:06:52.560 by saying

00:06:52.940 I'm offended

00:06:53.600 that you're using that

00:06:54.760 you're using the h-word

00:06:55.740 okay

00:06:56.220 don't speak to me that way

00:06:57.480 but this is

00:06:58.080 some people are

00:06:58.980 yes

00:06:59.920 look

00:07:00.620 taking up a handicapped spot

00:07:01.920 and going into

00:07:03.840 Walmart

00:07:04.440 because you don't feel

00:07:05.740 like walking farther

00:07:06.760 and then someone

00:07:07.760 who is actually disabled

00:07:08.800 can't access it

00:07:09.560 that makes you

00:07:10.200 a giant

00:07:10.780 jerk

00:07:11.480 for sure

00:07:12.020 but this idea

00:07:13.840 that like

00:07:14.460 no one else is around

00:07:16.120 and you can't even

00:07:17.680 just park there

00:07:18.900 real quick

00:07:19.280 so that you're

00:07:19.780 so as you say

00:07:20.400 your wife can go in

00:07:21.300 without having to

00:07:21.860 trip on the snow

00:07:22.840 and in the ice

00:07:23.920 that's absurd

00:07:26.160 it's like

00:07:26.500 there's

00:07:27.120 as you said

00:07:27.660 you're not stopping

00:07:28.400 anyone from using

00:07:29.180 the spot

00:07:30.220 there's nobody around

00:07:31.340 this is not an issue

00:07:32.900 you're not preventing

00:07:33.900 you're not doing anything

00:07:34.720 you're not causing

00:07:35.180 any harm to anybody

00:07:36.080 but it's what

00:07:38.100 on some weird

00:07:39.200 principle

00:07:39.840 that even though

00:07:40.900 there's nobody else

00:07:41.400 around

00:07:41.720 you can't be

00:07:42.300 in the magic spots

00:07:43.120 I also think

00:07:44.080 in general

00:07:44.640 when you got

00:07:45.920 a snowstorm situation

00:07:47.040 and there's snow

00:07:48.120 all over the place

00:07:48.800 then the rules

00:07:50.540 of the parking lot

00:07:51.280 change

00:07:51.920 and at that point

00:07:52.760 it's kind of like

00:07:53.420 I've always thought

00:07:53.800 it's sort of

00:07:54.080 every man for himself

00:07:54.820 at that point

00:07:55.180 like there's not

00:07:55.820 you know

00:07:56.700 you can't even see

00:07:57.780 where the spots are

00:07:58.600 there are not a lot

00:07:59.120 of places you can go

00:08:00.040 and you gotta kind of

00:08:01.560 just pull up

00:08:02.400 where you can

00:08:03.040 because there's

00:08:03.520 nowhere else to be

00:08:04.220 it seems like

00:08:04.680 that's the situation

00:08:06.120 you were in

00:08:06.620 this situation

00:08:07.120 where you have to

00:08:07.600 choose between

00:08:08.300 being a good husband

00:08:09.960 and taking care

00:08:11.240 of your wife

00:08:11.720 so that she doesn't

00:08:12.300 slip and trip on the snow

00:08:13.340 when she has to

00:08:13.920 use the bathroom

00:08:14.480 so you can

00:08:16.000 you know

00:08:16.480 be a good

00:08:17.360 respectful husband

00:08:18.100 or

00:08:18.680 you can respect

00:08:20.160 the handicap spot

00:08:21.000 even though

00:08:22.280 there's nobody around

00:08:23.340 so you had to

00:08:24.160 choose between

00:08:24.620 those two things

00:08:25.200 and I think

00:08:25.800 in that case

00:08:26.340 you choose correctly

00:08:27.460 finally from anonymous

00:08:28.680 I am a stay-at-home mom

00:08:30.260 to a four-month-old baby

00:08:31.160 my life is perfect

00:08:32.080 except one problem

00:08:33.200 I hate my husband's dog

00:08:34.580 it is a seven-year-old dog

00:08:35.640 he got before we met

00:08:36.460 I do 100% of the housework

00:08:37.920 which I'm not complaining about

00:08:39.000 I love taking care of the house

00:08:40.160 and my husband

00:08:40.540 my problem

00:08:41.040 is I have to take care

00:08:42.060 of the dog too

00:08:43.020 he barks and wakes my baby

00:08:44.820 he's constantly shedding

00:08:45.880 I hate the dog hair on my sock

00:08:47.420 so I have to vacuum daily

00:08:48.700 I have more reasons

00:08:49.960 but I know

00:08:50.560 you just want me

00:08:51.260 to get to the point

00:08:51.860 my husband

00:08:52.340 owns a company

00:08:53.460 so he's way too busy

00:08:54.460 to take care of the dog

00:08:55.320 am I the a-hole

00:08:55.960 if I re-home the dog

00:08:56.960 simply because

00:08:57.580 I hate it

00:08:58.860 no

00:08:59.920 you are absolutely not

00:09:01.480 at all

00:09:01.880 you are singing my

00:09:03.360 my tune here

00:09:04.340 I'm in

00:09:04.820 I'm in a very similar situation

00:09:06.440 in fact

00:09:07.180 except roles are reversed

00:09:08.580 with the dog

00:09:09.300 in that case

00:09:09.960 and no

00:09:11.080 look

00:09:11.800 people are going to like me

00:09:12.600 saying this

00:09:13.100 get rid of the dog

00:09:14.440 give the dog

00:09:15.320 you know

00:09:15.720 find someone who wants the dog

00:09:16.900 and it'll be fine

00:09:17.780 you're under no obligation

00:09:19.200 to be miserable

00:09:20.620 for the sake of a dog

00:09:22.220 and

00:09:22.760 and you

00:09:23.420 take priority

00:09:24.880 over the freaking dog

00:09:26.140 your baby takes priority

00:09:28.120 over the dog

00:09:29.520 so yes

00:09:30.120 that's how I feel

00:09:30.960 you know

00:09:31.840 they can

00:09:32.380 they can

00:09:32.700 there's going to be

00:09:34.220 the pitchfork mom

00:09:35.260 outside of my door

00:09:36.260 for this

00:09:36.680 but

00:09:36.940 a perfectly valid reason

00:09:39.260 to get rid of a pet

00:09:40.000 is that

00:09:40.660 it's making your life difficult

00:09:42.680 and it's

00:09:44.020 it's not fun

00:09:45.200 to have the pet

00:09:45.940 like having a pet

00:09:46.740 is supposed to be fun

00:09:47.580 it gets to a point

00:09:48.320 where it's just not fun anymore

00:09:49.220 and it's nothing but a burden

00:09:50.320 and it's annoying all the time

00:09:51.940 you can

00:09:53.360 be miserable

00:09:54.260 for no apparent reason

00:09:55.740 or you can

00:09:57.080 give the animal

00:09:57.860 to somebody who wants the animal

00:09:58.940 your mother and I

00:09:59.660 have been thinking about

00:10:00.340 giving the puppies away

00:10:01.460 and you know what

00:10:04.120 you know something

00:10:04.580 the dog will be fine

00:10:05.680 the dog will really be fine

00:10:07.160 the dog will bond

00:10:08.300 with the new owner

00:10:08.980 and he'll forget all about

00:10:10.400 the old owners

00:10:11.100 he just will

00:10:12.460 because he's a dog

00:10:13.400 I know you think

00:10:14.520 that oh the dog

00:10:15.460 is bonding to me for life

00:10:17.000 and no

00:10:17.560 not really

00:10:18.220 the dog can go somewhere else

00:10:19.640 and forget that you ever

00:10:20.380 ever existed

00:10:21.000 because he's a dog

00:10:22.540 and that's the way it goes

00:10:23.440 all right

00:10:24.160 many will disagree

00:10:25.340 many will say

00:10:26.640 that you are the a-hole

00:10:27.360 and that I am

00:10:28.000 for everything that

00:10:28.620 we've talked about

00:10:29.420 just now

00:10:29.880 but you and I

00:10:30.840 we know the truth

00:10:32.160 and we'll leave it there

00:10:34.280 for today

00:10:34.760 that's how I roll
