The Matt Walsh Show - My Roommate Peed On The Kitchen Floor - Am I The A＊＊hole？ Matt Walsh Decides

00:00:00.000 we're gonna go and take a look at some am i the a-hole quandaries that have been sent our way

00:00:18.160 and it's been a few weeks since we've had a chance to answer these so we'll start with cat who says

00:00:23.120 hi matt i've listened to you for a long time i appreciate your ability to articulate sound

00:00:26.880 judgment i began to follow you when i read the article you wrote after bruce jenner came out as

00:00:31.280 caitlin absolutely perfect i was hoping to get your take on a situation that's still a little

00:00:35.040 contentious in my marriage my husband's an avid fantasy football player he typically wins a decent

00:00:39.840 amount of money while doing so we've only been married a short while so in the past he's always

00:00:43.440 kept his winnings for himself however we have a son together plus he has a daughter from a previous

00:00:47.680 relationship and we have some debt this year when he won his fantasy football money since i managed

00:00:51.680 the finances i asked him to put the money in savings or put it towards some of the debt he said it was

00:00:55.760 his money that he won it and that it was extra he and i have a different definition of extra extra to

00:01:00.720 me would be cash that isn't needed elsewhere since we do need it elsewhere it isn't extra he spent most

00:01:05.600 of the money on a vr gaming system we got into a huge fight because i was upset that he bought it

00:01:10.480 i accused him of being selfish and only thinking of himself i shouldn't have been so harsh with my

00:01:13.760 words but at the same time i believe as a man as a leader of our home he should be uh concerned

00:01:17.920 about finances and want to give to his family before himself he accused me of only caring about money

00:01:22.480 which is not true but i do manage the finances i don't like managing the finances but truthfully

00:01:26.480 he can't be trusted uh he came from a poor town in new mexico his father died when he was very young

00:01:30.320 so from his perspective he says he struggled his whole life he knows what it's like and he will

00:01:33.520 manage but those don't seem like words of wisdom to me if he knows what it is like to struggle then

00:01:38.560 he should do everything in his power to avoid said struggle for his kids so who uh who's the who's the

00:01:44.400 a-hole is what you're asking well the good news is that you uh you probably won't be surprised to

00:01:48.480 learn this you are not the first married couple to have uh a dispute about something like this

00:01:53.920 about money money right this is one of those things where i am only getting one side of the story

00:01:59.840 i'm guessing if i were to talk to him he would probably fill me in on some details that you've

00:02:03.760 left out and not because you're trying to be dishonest but because you you you know we're all

00:02:08.400 biased in our own favor naturally but based on what you've told me i would say you're not the a-hole

00:02:14.160 and i would give two reasons one is that in a functioning marriage in a healthy marriage

00:02:18.720 there's no such thing as well this is my money this is just mine money has to be shared like it

00:02:24.480 just has to be in a marriage that's how you have to see it and once you start playing this game of

00:02:28.880 this is all mine you're headed to a dark place and it's like nothing good can come of it you have

00:02:33.680 to have the attitude of this is our money it's for the family family family family which doesn't mean

00:02:40.160 that as a member of a marriage you can't spend some money quote on yourself and buy some things

00:02:45.680 that you want to buy for yourself but it should all go to the same place the same bank accounts

00:02:49.680 that you all have access to uh nobody's hiding money no one's keeping it off in some you know

00:02:54.000 locked away so the other person can't you can't access it i think once you start going down that

00:02:57.440 path it's just not nothing good comes of it and i also think you're right about the the vr thing too

00:03:01.840 i i just like people know that i'm not uh i'm not a video game fan myself i don't play them but

00:03:07.280 with the vr thing that goes another to another level right because now you're talking about

00:03:11.520 those uh like a headset so now now you you know you you you're completely removing yourself from

00:03:17.520 your physical environment what's what's the moderate amount what's the correct amount of putting on a vr

00:03:24.080 headset as an adult and a father in your home maybe there's a you can practice moderation with

00:03:30.400 something like that too but you'd have to really really really limit your time and already the

00:03:34.720 financial investment you're spending hundreds of dollars when you've got these other financial

00:03:39.040 obligations you have to meet that already tells you that this is not a moderate thing so i'm going to

00:03:43.520 be on your side on this one got you covered people are raving about genucell products somebody named

00:04:51.360 blocking the sidewalk in my neighborhood there are full adults living in my home at the moment full adults

00:04:58.240 as opposed to half adults myself and my husband my brother and my sister-in-law my brother and

00:05:04.400 sister-in-law are both in college and work jobs my husband and i also have full-time jobs thus we have

00:05:08.240 four cars that are necessary for all of us to function in society the hoa has a rule that if

00:05:12.320 you park on the street you'll get ticketed or towed we've received multiple tickets from doing this so

00:05:16.640 instead at night when we're all home one of us parks in the garage and three park in the driveway which

00:05:21.120 causes one of the cars to block the sidewalk now there's a state regulation that asks no one to block

00:05:25.760 sidewalks for any reason i believe it's the disability act however it's not enforced and

00:05:29.520 there's no one in my area of the neighborhood who's in a wheelchair or anything like that

00:05:32.320 however my neighbors are extremely annoyed that we blocked the sidewalk at night it first began

00:05:35.920 with them sending pictures to hoa and those photos being sent to my landlord by the hoa then they left

00:05:40.960 a note on my windshield saying that it is absurd that we blocked the sidewalk and that the whole street

00:05:45.040 asks us to stop yesterday they tagged my husband and i in a facebook post that reminds people

00:05:50.000 in the neighborhood not to block the sidewalk with a caption that says please read this i was shocked

00:05:54.560 by this because i've never even met these people so i have no idea how they know our names after we

00:05:59.760 didn't respond one of them waited for my sister-in-law to come home so they could yell at her to stop 1.00

00:06:04.000 parking on the street she says that a child almost got hit by a car recently and that old people have 1.00

00:06:08.480 to walk around our cars are we the holes for blocking our sidewalk when we truly are not given any

00:06:13.600 other option no no and look you're doing it at night right so you're putting you're putting uh you're

00:06:18.400 parking the cars like that at night you don't have any other option what else are you supposed to do it's

00:06:22.560 it's it's not actually affecting anybody else and so these are our neighbors that are looking for a

00:06:27.600 problem and getting annoyed by something that doesn't affect them in the slightest you need to

00:06:31.520 calm down it also jumps out at me that you said that your your neighbors don't know your name and

00:06:35.760 i'll admit i've been guilty of this but it used to be that you know it used to be kind of like unthinkable

00:06:40.320 that you would live in a neighborhood and you wouldn't even know the names of the people who live

00:06:44.800 around you but now it's pretty common like you'll live in a neighborhood you live there for years and not

00:06:48.400 even know anyone around you you never talk to them and so that's bad enough the only time they

00:06:53.200 take an interest in you is to complain about how you park your car now they're the holes for sure

00:06:58.320 finally from alia says i'm the newest roommate in a college house with three other girls and being in

00:07:03.200 college i know that people are going to drink on the weekends but one of my roommates came home one

00:07:06.800 night so drunk that she relieved herself on the kitchen floor i reached out to my landlord to try

00:07:12.160 getting her kicked out because she refused to clean it okay and i was forced to clean it the next

00:07:17.760 morning am i the a-hole for trying to get this girl who has been at the house the longest evicted 0.99

00:07:21.680 since i'm the newest tenant at this house um no are you are you even considering the possibility that

00:07:28.880 you might be in the wrong on this one so you are on your hands and knees on the kitchen floor cleaning

00:07:33.920 up someone else's urine i'm assuming it was urine and you want the person who peed on the floor like

00:07:38.480 a dog kicked that out and you're thinking yourself you might be in the wrong no you're 100 in the right

00:07:43.040 the part that blows my mind i mean the whole thing leaving yourself on the kitchen floor is already

00:07:46.560 disgusting but she refused to clean it how did that conversation work hello

00:07:55.280 she's so drunk i assume you you went up to her right this is some kind of conversation where you

00:08:01.040 said can you urinated all over the kitchen floor can you clean it please and she said no i wouldn't 0.94

00:08:06.960 want to live with this person for sanitation reasons but also just because this is someone who's mentally 0.83

00:08:12.560 unstable i don't find this funny anymore it never was supposed to be and uh given the reaction the

00:08:18.400 next like she sobers up the next day and refuses to clean it that blows my mind so no you are uh

00:08:24.320 relieved of that moral burden i guess everybody was during this segment it's always fun we can do that

00:08:28.880 and we'll leave it there for today godspeed

00:08:38.080 there's something wrong with your toilet
