The Matt Walsh Show - Matt Walsh Reviews The Worst TikToks of 2024

00:00:00.000 so there seems to have been at least according to my producers who send me this stuff because

00:00:16.400 they like to see me suffer a proliferation on tiktok in recent weeks of viral challenges that

00:00:21.400 women draft their unwitting husbands and boyfriends into the challenges are really tests and every 1.00

00:00:27.080 week someone on tiktok comes up with a new way for women to test the men in their lives and if the men 1.00

00:00:32.260 fail the test they're bad i guess and if they pass the test then they're good at least until the next

00:00:38.960 test comes along the problem with these tests is that they are tests in the first place as we'll

00:00:43.820 discuss the other problem is that they're invented by women for men with a lot of womanly assumptions 0.71

00:00:49.940 about what they mean and what a man's failure or success signifies it's very clear that no man was

00:00:56.060 consulted in the devising of these tests which is a problem because men understand the psychology of 1.00

00:01:00.700 men much better than women do or at least better than women on tiktok do so let's go through these 0.92

00:01:05.880 one by one first we'll go back a few weeks to something called the bird test and here's how

00:01:10.380 the bird test works the bird test theory is basically a predictor for whether or not your

00:01:14.880 relationship is going to succeed and it kind of goes like this let's say that you and your partner

00:01:18.760 are sitting at a coffee shop and you see a bird outside and you mention it to them there's a couple

00:01:22.940 different ways that your partner can respond your partner could be like oh that's a really cool bird

00:01:26.840 and engage with you and take interest in what you just said or your partner can dismiss it all

00:01:31.300 together and be like okay it's a bird what about it basically the gotman institute which is this really

00:01:36.740 big psychology institute for relationships calls that a bid and the idea is if your partner takes

00:01:43.100 interest in the mundane little small things that you talk about the relationship is just more likely

00:01:48.940 to succeed because your partner has genuine interest in whatever you say regardless of whether

00:01:54.600 that thing is a small thing or not on the flip side if your partner kind of keeps ignoring your bids

00:02:00.200 that's kind of a sign that the relationship is going to fail because whether small or big your partner is

00:02:06.240 not giving attention to the things that you personally care about just for the sole reason that you care

00:02:11.800 about it now this is the kind of thing that makes sense if you've never been in a relationship that lasted

00:02:16.820 more than three months if you are incredibly naive and inexperienced and you get your relationship

00:02:21.560 insights from tiktok you might have the expectation that your partner will be quote genuinely interested

00:02:27.220 in whatever you say but in the real world which is populated by actual human beings nobody on earth

00:02:33.240 will ever be genuinely interested in everything you say and they shouldn't be you're not that interesting

00:02:39.460 nobody has ever been that interesting i don't care if you're married to socrates you're not going to be 0.99

00:02:44.100 hanging on his every last word all day every day forever now i find my wife very interesting and

00:02:50.960 intelligent but if she came into the room and said i just saw a bird i would not be especially

00:02:56.460 interested in that information i just wouldn't be my only interest would be in the fact that my wife 0.96

00:03:01.640 has apparently suffered some sort of brain damage otherwise why would an adult be screaming about a bird

00:03:07.120 bird bird looky at the birdie like what are you two years old now if you saw say a bald eagle swoop

00:03:15.580 down and catch a baby deer with its talons and fly away or something like that then that would be the

00:03:21.560 kind of headline that would interest me so there needs to be something spectacular about the bird to

00:03:25.220 garner my interest if you saw an ostrich ride by on a scooter that that would be a bird related

00:03:31.280 announcement that i would like to hear otherwise what do you want me to say about a regular bird

00:03:36.700 like how do you want me to react she said that you know you have to engage about the bird what do

00:03:42.600 you mean engage say what oh really you saw a bird cool was it did it did it have wings i don't know what

00:03:52.140 the follow-up is i don't know what a bird conversation would even be therefore this entire test fails

00:03:57.680 if your husband passes that test it either means that he's being extremely patronizing

00:04:02.280 oh you saw a bird did you tell me about the bird or that he's an ornithologist maybe he just really

00:04:07.500 is into birds who knows or maybe he sees the cell phone in your hand and he knows that you're filming

00:04:12.100 him for a tiktok challenge that could be the other reason why he responds you know what's interesting

00:04:16.300 about the current state of health and wellness everyone's chasing the latest trend the newest fad the

00:05:30.680 off your first order when you go to tryarmora.com slash walsh or enter code walsh that's t-r-y-a-r-m-r-a.com

00:05:40.240 slash walsh

00:05:41.280 here's another video i want to show you

00:05:47.580 well i don't want to show you well i do want to show you you don't want to see it but but i want to

00:05:54.300 show it to you because as you know i had to watch it and so now you're going to see it too and

00:06:01.200 and maybe there's maybe there's a a more positive way of looking at this um i know i can be hard on

00:06:09.100 tiktokers sometimes but every once in a while the tiktok community provides something useful

00:06:15.200 and so here's a viral video of a woman showing us her coping strategies here's how she copes 0.99

00:06:20.980 a lot of people have you know difficult lives and looking for ways to cope with it the ways to deal

00:06:26.380 with it and uh this this is her way of doing it and it's a strategy you might want to try out

00:06:30.780 yourself uh here it is let's watch oh i'm here i'm here i know you're scared i know you don't know

00:06:40.240 what to do but i've got you and i won't leave you and i love you and i'm so sorry that you're scared

00:06:49.800 but it's okay to feel it's safe to feel it's safe to cry it's safe to move through it

00:07:00.200 seriously i've got you i won't leave you i can feel the emotions i can hold space for myself

00:07:20.600 crying is beautiful crying is healthy crying is not negative

00:07:30.200 it's okay to feel it's okay to surrender

00:07:37.560 i mean that that's relatable you know that that was that was basically me at chipotle last

00:07:54.740 night when they said they ran out of guacamole and no warning by the way i went through the whole

00:07:58.840 line there was no sign saying oh we don't have guacamole because then if i had known that i would

00:08:03.320 have gone somewhere else but i went through the whole thing i built the burrito bowl i get to the

00:08:06.820 guacamole station they said we're out of guac how does it even happen you have all the other

00:08:11.320 ingredients but you don't have guac how does that how did you not are people going through the line

00:08:15.660 and asking for a burrito bowl with only guacamole and that's how you end up that's how you end up

00:08:19.360 with this disproportionate situation so in situations like that i think it's okay to react that way but

00:08:24.880 most of the time i would say not and what what is so sad about these videos i mean what's sad about

00:08:31.600 them like besides literally everything else about them what's sad is that i'm sure i think it's an

00:08:39.120 important point i'm sure that this woman does have serious trauma in her past and i don't say that

00:08:46.500 sarcastically i mean sincerely so we see stuff like this and and we're tempted to go oh what's

00:08:52.840 why is your life so hard yeah look at you complaining right you snowflake gen z-er but 0.99

00:08:59.300 this woman this is she has blue hair okay this is a woman with blue hair and that alone even when we 0.99

00:09:06.560 putting aside what she's doing in the video that alone is a blaring deafening alarm signaling that 0.99

00:09:12.260 she probably had a terrible home life almost certainly comes from a broken home a dad not in 1.00

00:09:18.900 the picture we can assume that either her dad is not there or he's a terrible father he's failed

00:09:24.040 utterly you know if your daughter if you catch your daughter wearing blue hair and you're you you failed

00:09:29.000 like you as a father that is it that is an f that you got an f grade failure on the report card the moment

00:09:35.080 you see the kid wearing blue hair um unless it's like a halloween costume and they're going they're

00:09:41.620 dressed up as smurfs do smurfs even have blue hair they have blue skin so that's a good indication that

00:09:47.460 she she has actually suffered like real trauma in life and so i'm perfectly willing to believe that

00:09:55.340 this woman has legitimate issues real substantive reasons to be upset the problem is that first of 1.00

00:10:03.100 all she's obviously never received any good counseling nobody's told her how to actually cope

00:10:09.400 with the problems that you face in life and indulging yourself right indulging uh indulging in tears

00:10:19.960 now i i you know how i feel about men crying women i give a lot more latitude women are you know women 0.99

00:10:26.180 are criers they like to cry okay i i can't relate but you know we have to accept that it's something

00:10:32.340 men and women are not the same fine but um even for a woman you can it's possible to to vastly over

00:10:40.180 indulge in in uh in tears and especially in feelings of self-pity and this is what she's doing and that

00:10:46.840 is not healthy coping okay if you want to cope with whatever you're dealing with again even if it's

00:10:53.960 something real like you had a terrible childhood and your parents failed you go go for a walk like go

00:11:00.260 for a hike go get some exercise uh pick up a hobby invest yourself and your time and your energy

00:11:07.640 in something other than this rather than dwelling on whatever it is that upsets you

00:11:13.140 go just do something else don't think about it take all that energy and channel it into something

00:11:20.660 rather than just stewing in your own pity to the point where you you start to enjoy the feeling

00:11:29.160 of self-pity a lot of young men are worried about getting married because they're afraid that they'll

00:11:38.460 end up uh they'll end up with a bad selfish woman as a wife but the good news is that the bad wives 1.00

00:11:44.580 generally announce themselves they're proud of it and they'll tell you all about it so take this woman 0.99

00:11:49.640 named page page is a tiktok influencer also happens to be married with four children and she's a bad wife 1.00

00:11:55.540 and is very eager to alert the public to that fact uh including with this video watch a few weeks ago

00:12:01.840 i said i don't do my husband's laundry and a lot of people are saying whoa whoa whoa those are small

00:12:05.580 acts of kindness why wouldn't you want to do that for your partner but here's the thing small acts of

00:12:09.800 kindness that are mostly domestic labor just add up to work at the end of the day so here's a list of

00:12:14.800 things that i don't do for my husband you all know i don't do his laundry he can do that himself

00:12:19.140 i do my laundry and we do the kids laundry but he does his own i don't cook dinner he cooks dinner

00:12:25.120 every single night i do breakfast and lunch for us and our kids i don't pack him a lunch if he's hungry

00:12:30.220 he'll figure out what he's going to eat for lunch the same way that i do i don't make his doctor's

00:12:34.240 appointments because guess what he's not making mine would it be kind of me to do that for sure

00:12:38.740 is it my job absolutely not i want him to be healthy but he's a grown-ass man and he can book his

00:12:42.880 own appointments right there's a lot of things that i don't do for my husband i don't schedule his

00:12:47.820 haircuts i don't pack his clothes for vacation right i don't do those things i don't buy him

00:12:53.220 new underwear when it's got holes in it all of those are things that he's a grown man and he can

00:12:57.060 do himself can i do small acts of kindness for him of course i can and i do i see a vinyl that i

00:13:02.380 think he's going to like because he's creating a vinyl collection i buy it i'm at the store and i

00:13:06.300 see something that i think he might enjoy eating i buy it i find a new non-alcoholic beer that he wants

00:13:10.700 to try out i buy it right those are small acts of kindness doing his laundry cooking him dinner making

00:13:16.020 him lunch booking his doctor's appointments all those things that's domestic labor those are chores

00:13:20.660 those are not acts of kindness do i do them occasionally when he's working a lot of course

00:13:24.440 do i cook dinner sometimes when he's had a really long day of course but me not doing that does not

00:13:29.300 mean that i don't show him love or kindness they're different things it is not my job as a wife it is

00:13:34.040 not in my job description to do all the domestic labor as small acts of kindness to my partner and

00:13:38.300 receive nothing in return i agree with this commenter if it's going both ways fantastic but

00:13:42.680 oftentimes domestic labor especially when you have children adds up and so no i am not my husband's

00:13:47.420 personal secretary or his personal assistant i am none of those things i am his partner i am his

00:13:51.300 equal and i do not have to do things to cater to him and serve him at all times to be kind and loving

00:13:56.480 for him now the video has gone viral with many women in the comments gushing over how much they

00:14:01.520 respect and admire her for this approach which is good because it gives single men the chance to go

00:14:05.720 through the comments and cross all of these women off of the list of potential wives in the future 0.93

00:14:10.080 a video like this provides a perfect litmus test like show it to a woman you're dating and if she

00:14:15.480 nods her head and says amen break up immediately just cut it off right there because there are two 0.89

00:14:21.500 major problems with this video and anyone who endorses it also shares in these having these

00:14:25.980 problems beginning with the fact that she made the video in the first place like even if i could agree

00:14:30.920 that it's defensible for a wife to flat out refuse to do any of the things she lists which i don't agree

00:14:36.160 uh i would still be it would still be a major red flag that you're proud of not doing them you're

00:14:42.260 taking pride in what you don't do for your husband you are bragging about all the ways that you don't

00:14:48.620 help him and don't care for him that alone tells us that your marriage is deeply sick and will not

00:14:54.100 survive for much longer unless you change dramatically and quickly there's really no reason why you needed

00:14:59.400 to tell the world who does the laundry in your house nobody asked for that information and if they did ask

00:15:04.560 for it you could just ignore them but you're proud of not doing the laundry proud of the fact that

00:15:10.180 apparently when you do a load of laundry for yourself and the kids you specifically separate

00:15:15.420 his clothes and refuse to throw them in the washer with the other clothes it takes actual effort to not

00:15:21.880 do the laundry for one person in the house that's how dedicated you are to not helping your husband

00:15:27.600 おわり

00:15:28.140 you
