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

00:05:18.080 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
