On occasion, I have found myself in a situation where people on the internet are mad at me, and that seems surprising to many of you who've been following me for years. I'm such a likable, friendly guy. It's hard to believe anybody would ever be mad at him for any reason, but sometimes they are.

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. 1.00
00:00:20.020 It's hard to believe anybody would ever be mad at me for any reason, but sometimes they are. 1.00
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. 0.99
00:01:25.340 And it's because of the parasites in your brain from the Raw Milk. 0.98
00:01:29.940 And I'm sorry. 0.96
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. 1.00
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. 0.74
00:03:12.800 I don't care if you died 20 years ago. 1.00
00:03:15.200 You get up and bring your decaying ass to work. 1.00
00:03:17.840 That's just, that's my mentality though. 1.00
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. 0.74
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. 0.99
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. 1.00
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. 0.98
00:04:06.420 Uh, so that's the other thing. 0.97
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. 0.92
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.
