00:00:00.000 Hey, Matt! It's time to start the video!
00:00:07.100 On occasion, I have found myself in a situation where people on the internet are mad at me.
00:00:11.580 And that probably seems surprising to many of you who've been following me for years.
00:00:15.640 I'm such a likable, friendly guy.
00:00:17.320 Man, F you. Eat my entire ass.
00:00:20.020 It's hard to believe anybody would ever be mad at me for any reason, but sometimes they are.
00:00:24.420 Let's get to the list.
00:00:25.960 And we'll go three to one. We'll start at number three.
00:00:29.580 Number three.
00:00:31.180 This has to be in the top three.
00:00:33.640 It's a recent hit.
00:00:35.060 And that is, of course, Raw Milk.
00:00:36.700 It's just a few months ago that I tweeted that Raw Milk is disgusting and unsanitary.
00:00:41.700 And there were like 14,000 outrage comments on that tweet alone.
00:00:45.960 That's not an exaggeration.
00:00:47.220 14,000. 14,000 people.
00:00:50.800 And many thousands more beyond that as the Raw Milk fans exploded in outrage.
00:00:56.380 Well, they were either exploding in outrage or from the diarrhea, from all the E. coli in their milk.
00:01:01.980 Either way, it's no wonder, you know, that they were so upset.
00:01:05.420 But this is about healing today.
00:01:06.700 It's about coming to an understanding.
00:01:07.940 So, this is what I want to say to the Raw Milk fans.
00:01:12.980 I want to tell you that I hear you, that I understand you, that I don't judge you.
00:01:19.540 It's understandable that you're so angry, that you're so furious, that you're so hysterical with rage.
00:01:25.340 And it's because of the parasites in your brain from the Raw Milk.
00:01:29.940 And I'm sorry.
00:01:32.180 I'm sorry that you're totally infested with worms.
00:01:35.880 I know it's hard.
00:01:37.280 I know what you're going through.
00:01:38.460 I mean, I don't know exactly.
00:01:40.100 I don't have the dietary habits of a third world hobo like you do.
00:01:43.200 But I can imagine.
00:01:45.060 And I truly feel for you.
00:01:47.280 If I could reach out to you and give you a hug, I would.
00:01:50.020 But I don't want to catch whatever viruses you have.
00:01:52.080 So, from a safe social distance, I want to tell you that I'm here for you.
00:01:56.940 So, that's the first one.
00:01:59.760 Number two.
00:02:00.820 Here's another recent one.
00:02:02.500 It was a big one.
00:02:04.080 Also, within the last few months, the internet was shocked and appalled and scandalized
00:02:09.300 when I said that sick days are for children and that no adult should ever take a sick day.
00:02:17.340 Sick days are for children.
00:02:18.780 Okay?
00:02:18.980 I still came into the office and recorded a video with subtitles when I lost my voice.
00:02:24.160 The doctor said I had married a youngest.
00:02:26.640 He said it's a minor realness.
00:02:28.660 I should be fine in a few days.
00:02:30.500 You need to be at work.
00:02:31.840 Okay?
00:02:32.180 This was very upsetting to many people who started hyperventilating and screaming at me about it.
00:02:37.920 They said that they take sick days all the time and how dare I pass judgment on them for it.
00:02:42.980 I believe in that they're sick all the time.
00:02:46.440 That's what they get for drinking all the raw milk.
00:02:48.240 But I was especially surprised by the number of men who were shrieking like little girls at me.
00:02:53.240 I don't mean that as an insult, but it's just like they did sound like little girls.
00:02:56.440 Because I come from an old school tradition.
00:02:58.760 You know, the way I see it, a man gets up, goes to work, no matter how sick he feels.
00:03:02.480 I don't care if you have a fever of 112 degrees.
00:03:04.820 I don't care if your internal organs are falling out of your orifices.
00:03:08.180 You pick them up, you put them back, wherever they'll fit, and you go to work.
00:03:12.800 I don't care if you died 20 years ago.
00:03:15.200 You get up and bring your decaying ass to work.
00:03:17.840 That's just, that's my mentality though.
00:03:19.620 And it's how I was raised.
00:03:21.700 And I've realized that not every man was raised the same way.
00:03:24.820 I should have understood that.
00:03:26.180 I should have accounted for it.
00:03:27.680 And I need to stop imposing my way of thinking and living on other people.
00:03:32.080 Which is why I'm sorry I wasn't more specific.
00:03:35.060 I should, I, and I am, because I, I should have, I should have said that, you know, if you, if you take a sick day, it means that you're a woman or you're a child or you're a total pansy.
00:03:49.820 I should have said that.
00:03:50.940 I should have added that layer of nuance, right?
00:03:53.980 And I didn't, and I apologize.
00:03:55.840 So I want to, once again, once again, I ignored the wuss community and that's on me.
00:04:00.480 Uh, so it, you could have been, if you take a sick day, you're any of those, uh, or you're gay.
00:04:06.420 Uh, so that's the other thing.
00:04:07.360 It could also be that.
00:04:08.180 I don't mean that as an insult.
00:04:08.980 Again, it's not an insult.
00:04:09.720 I'm just saying it's what one of those things is what you are if you take a sick day.
00:04:14.140 Uh, so we can put that one to bed.
00:04:16.780 Look, we all know how Christmas season goes these days.
00:04:19.380 The stores put up their decorations in October.
00:04:22.020 Corporations try to sell you on their version of holiday spirit.
00:04:25.280 Before you know it, you're stressed out, overwhelmed, and completely missing the actual point of the season.
00:04:29.780 That's why I want to talk to you about something actually meaningful, Advent.
00:04:33.160 It's the sacred time before Christmas where we're supposed to prepare our hearts through prayer and reflection.
00:04:37.700 But let's be honest, between these shopping frenzies and social obligations, most of us are doing anything but that.
00:04:43.320 This is exactly why I've partnered with Halo for their Advent Pray 25 Challenge.
00:04:48.240 And I know what you're thinking, uh, another app, another program.
00:04:51.000 But this isn't about checking boxes or following some corporate wellness trend.
00:04:54.840 This is about reclaiming what Advent is actually supposed to be about.
00:04:57.840 They've put together their best Advent program yet with daily guided prayer sessions, authentic Advent music,
00:05:04.640 not the commercialized Christmas songs you'll hear at the mall in November,
00:05:08.380 and content specifically designed to help you grow in your faith during the sacred season.
00:05:12.400 Right now, you can join me and thousands of others who are choosing to take back Advent from the chaos of modern Christmas.
00:05:17.800 Just go to halo.com slash Walsh to get started.
00:05:20.900 That's H-A-L-L-O-W dot com slash Walsh.
00:05:24.020 Let's actually prepare our hearts for Christmas this year instead of just our shopping carts.
00:05:28.640 Finally, uh, my number one internet controversy.
00:05:31.660 And this, this takes us back a couple of years to that infamous moment when I said,
00:05:36.440 totally seriously, of course, that anime is satanic.
00:05:39.400 What's your opinion on anime? It's really popular amongst teens and young adults.
00:05:44.400 I think it's all satanic. All anime to me seems weird, just like bizarre, creepy.
00:05:49.120 And this has proved to be the hot take of all hot takes.
00:05:53.840 What was for me a brief aside, an offhanded remark has become a rallying cry for the anime community for years now.
00:06:03.540 They're still traumatized by it, even now.
00:06:05.720 So today I do want to apologize to the anime community.
00:06:09.940 It's taken me a while. It's taken me a couple of years to work up, to get to this point where I'm, where I, where I can even say this.
00:06:17.700 Um, I should not have said anything to upset you. I should not have angered you.
00:06:21.680 I should not have bullied you. I should have known better.
00:06:26.060 Uh, you guys are, you guys are not the ones to mess with. I've realized that, you know, because you can't handle the stress because you're morbidly obese.
00:06:34.540 And I should have known, I should have known better. I should have taken that into account.
00:06:39.160 And I'm sorry. Rather than needlessly trolling you, I should have helped you get past the trauma.
00:06:44.980 I should have helped you to get over it.
00:06:46.920 Um, I mean, I can't help you get over anything physically because, you know, because, because of the obesity, but I, I can help you emotionally.
00:06:52.480 And I should have. And while we're on the subject, I want to make one of the, because this, this also upsets me a little.
00:06:57.740 Because here's the thing. There, there are, some people were taking my side in this whole, in this whole debate.
00:07:02.700 And, um, and some of the things that those people said that were on my side, ostensibly, I found kind of upsetting.
00:07:09.600 And, uh, and they, they, one thing is that, well, these anime people, they're all sitting in their mom's basements, right?
00:07:17.800 They're sitting in their parents' basements, yelling at you.
00:07:21.100 And I want to be clear. I know that you're not all sitting in your parents' basements.
00:07:23.720 Uh, you might also be in their den or in their attic.
00:07:29.200 Um, they don't let you in the living room because they're ashamed.
00:07:32.460 But the, the point is that you're not necessarily in the basement.
00:07:35.100 You might not even have a basement.
00:07:37.760 As for the issue of being demonically possessed, are you all demonically possessed?
00:07:42.680 Well, probably.
00:07:47.140 But you've got so many other problems that the demon possession isn't even the biggest one.
00:07:53.720 So that's the good news.
00:07:57.520 In, in compare, your, your life is so bad that in comparison to your other issues, being demonically possessed isn't that.
00:08:07.540 So, anyway, I think that that's, that's my, uh, but that's, so that, that's on the bright side is what I'm trying to say.
00:08:15.220 So, good.
00:08:17.920 I think, uh, with that, I think it's, it's, I think it's safe to say that I've settled all these beefs.
00:08:22.360 And now we can all get along and live happily ever after.
00:08:27.240 Um, you're welcome.
00:08:29.060 Thank you.
00:08:38.300 I'm sorry.
00:08:42.080 We'll see you next time.
