00:00:00.000 So now we have another occasion where Sean, my producer, has enlisted me to endure psychological
00:00:05.780 and emotional abuse for your amusement. And this time we are descending into the
00:00:13.440 caverns of TikTok again to explore the polyamorous community. I'm not a COVID germophobe by any
00:00:21.520 means, but this is one occasion where a mask and especially gloves, rubber gloves, might be
00:00:26.140 required. So apparently on TikTok, a whole bunch of people are in open relationships,
00:00:31.600 polyamorous relationships, and they've made videos advertising and explaining and defending
00:00:36.720 their lifestyle. I find it so sad and pathetic that I don't think I can watch very many of them, 0.92
00:00:42.080 but we'll watch maybe two or three of them just to see, just to get a little taste. And we'll start 0.88
00:00:46.400 with an easy one. Let's look at this one here. Just mind your business, right? Well,
00:00:56.140 accept that your husband's sexual activity is your business. If you didn't intend to share in
00:01:01.860 that business with him to in effect, make it your business exclusively, like exclusively your
00:01:06.560 business, exclusively, then why did you marry him? In what sense is this even a marriage? For what
00:01:11.820 reason is it a marriage? But then we go down a rabbit hole that people don't want to go down,
00:01:15.640 of course, which is like, now we got to come up with a definition of marriage. What is it exactly?
00:01:20.260 And once you start doing that, then you're drawing lines and you might find that we're excluding
00:01:25.920 certain types of relationships that you would prefer to include. And that's why we don't
00:01:29.580 define it at all. And now we have to call this a marriage also. You know what this is like? It's
00:01:33.460 like going into business as an accountant and then your first client sends their tax documents over
00:01:38.480 to you and you go, whoa, wait a second. That's none of my business. Your financial information
00:01:43.420 is private. Keep it to yourself.
00:01:45.460 Boundaries, Dwight, come on.
00:01:46.800 Well, yeah, it's private, but the accountant-client relationship is supposed to largely center
00:01:51.780 around private information. That's the whole point.
00:01:58.620 I might've lost the thread in that analogy a little bit. I don't know where I was going.
00:02:01.660 I think I made a point there. I'm pretty sure, but let's keep watching.
00:02:05.500 So my husband casually dropped today that he met this chick on Bumble that's only in town for a week, 0.55
00:02:11.720 so we all know what that means. So I sent him a text like, babe, live your best life. If this thing
00:02:17.200 goes online, you want to go back to her Airbnb, you want to stay so that you can hit it in the
00:02:22.580 morning again, live your best life, babe. I got it here at home. Why did I do it? Because I'm such
00:02:28.640 a good polyamorous wife, first of all. But also because you put that karma in the bank and then 1.00
00:02:35.680 y'all girl's going to cash it out later. If you want to be good at polyamory, you have to show up 1.00
00:02:40.860 for your partner the way that you want them to show up for you. And if I had somebody roll into town,
00:02:45.600 you better believe I would want my husband to step it up.
00:02:49.920 So there we go. That's really it, isn't it? That's the whole shebang, if you'll pardon the
00:02:54.920 expression. Why do you have a polyamorous relationship? What's the point of a quote-unquote
00:03:01.160 open marriage, which is a contradiction in terms? It's an oxymoron, an open marriage. Marriages
00:03:06.360 are closed by definition. That's the point of them. But why do it? Well, it's entirely self-serving.
00:03:13.220 You know, that's the point. This is mutually agreed upon adultery. One adulterous spouse 1.00
00:03:18.740 tolerates the adultery of the other spouse so that she has a license to behave the same way.
00:03:23.620 It's also emotional blackmail at the same time, or putting karma in the bank, as she puts it.
00:03:28.780 Again, we see how the marital union has been flipped on its head, gutted, emptied, hollowed out,
00:03:34.540 rendered pointless. Because marriage is supposed to be a loving and sacrificial union between two
00:03:40.660 people who pledge to serve one another until death. That's what marriage is. I don't know
00:03:45.120 what other point it could have if it's not that. And letting your spouse sleep around so that you 0.99
00:03:49.980 can also sleep around is not loving service. It's self-service, and there's a difference. In fact,
00:03:54.960 the difference is that those two things are opposites. A few decades ago, private citizens
00:03:59.020 used to be largely that, private. What's changed? Well, the internet. Think about everything you browse,
00:04:03.840 searched for, watched, or tweeted. Now imagine all of that data being crawled through,
00:04:07.880 collected and aggregated by third parties into a permanent public record, your record.
00:04:12.560 Having your private life exposed for others to see was once something only celebrities worried
00:04:16.520 about. But in an era where everybody is online, everyone is a public figure. We're all kind of
00:04:21.100 celebrities in our own right. To keep my data private, then I go online. I turn to ExpressVPN.
00:04:25.980 Every time I turn the ExpressVPN on, I'm given a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers.
00:04:32.360 That makes it more difficult for third parties to identify me and harvest my data.
00:04:35.980 The best part is how easy ExpressVPN is to use. No matter what device you're on,
00:04:41.020 whether it's a phone, laptop, smart TV, whatever it is, all you have to do is tap one button to get
00:04:45.260 protected. It really is that simple. So if, like me, you believe that your data is your business,
00:04:50.120 secure yourself with the number one rated VPN on the market. Visit expressvpn.com slash Walsh.
00:04:55.020 You get three extra months for free. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com slash Walsh. Go to

00:05:04.300 I think I can tolerate maybe just one more of these.
00:05:06.300 Once more, I'm to the preach, dear friends.
00:05:09.240 We haven't heard yet from a polyamorous man. So we've heard from the women. Let's hear from a man.
00:05:14.420 I use that term loosely, of course.
00:05:15.640 Hey, man. I think you should know that I saw your wife with another man. 0.55
00:05:21.740 Did they have leftovers?
00:05:25.660 What? Did they have a bag of food?
00:05:32.780 Yes.
00:05:35.460 Who was holding the bag?
00:05:39.960 She was. 0.99
00:05:45.480 F*** yeah. 0.99
00:05:47.400 You know, I have to say, I take great exception to the fact that this is a bearded man. 0.99
00:05:50.460 To see a bearded man cuckolding himself like this is extremely discouraging to me. 0.99
00:05:55.580 It brings shame on the whole community of beardsmen. 0.99
00:05:59.860 Of course, the cuckold effect kind of, he affects this ironic, detached pose, 0.87
00:06:06.980 unconcerned that his wife is being sexually satisfied by another man. 0.99
00:06:11.080 You get back here and you make love to my wife! 1.00
00:06:13.560 All he cares about is the leftovers.
00:06:15.280 Ha ha, get it? 0.98
00:06:16.460 He's not a lame, jealous cuckold. 0.97
00:06:19.340 He's a cool, sarcastic one. 0.97
00:06:21.480 That makes it all better.
00:06:23.120 So there are really two options here, I think.
00:06:25.520 One, when we talk about this guy and trying to interpret and understand what's going on.
00:06:31.240 One is that, you know, your wife is out with another man and you're pretending not to be bothered by it.
00:06:38.460 But really inside, you're dying and you're eating yourself alive.
00:06:42.240 You're drowning in resentment and jealousy and you hate your life.
00:06:45.760 We're just friends, but he wants it.
00:06:47.460 Can we talk about this not in front of everyone, Jesse?
00:06:51.500 But you're trying to convince the world, but really yourself, that you're totally fine with it.
00:06:56.280 So that's possible.
00:06:57.480 One, or two, you've been so neutered, so thoroughly defanged and de-balled
00:07:05.120 that you actually don't feel anything anymore when your wife openly cheats on you.
00:07:08.880 Seeneth your husband.
00:07:10.540 Oh no, he knows all that.
00:07:11.880 You're a lucky dog.
00:07:13.320 I'm not sure which is worse. 1.00
00:07:14.960 They're both pathetic beyond words. 0.99
00:07:16.920 What I do know, though, is that I can't watch any more of these videos. 0.99
00:07:19.680 So, that's it.
