00:00:00.160 Okay, today we're going to take a look at some marriage videos, and usually what we'll end up doing is we'll watch videos of people giving relationship advice, and I'll explain why the advice is terrible, but this is a little bit different.
00:00:13.180 In this case, my producers have queued up some videos that deal with some of the idiosyncrasies and minutiae of married life.
00:00:21.720 Cousin Delroy is getting married! To a man!
00:00:26.600 We'll watch it, and you know, we'll have a little chuckle.
00:00:30.000 We'll have fun together, we'll have a little chuckle together, so come along on this journey, and let's watch the first video.
00:00:38.760 Hey! Hi! Welcome!
00:00:40.900 You didn't dust your baseboard? There's actual trash in your trash can. Are you Neanderthals?
00:00:46.700 When's the last time you vacuumed?
00:00:51.060 Do you even care about us?
00:00:52.800 One throw pillow? Are you a monster? 1.00
00:00:55.460 One candle for this whole room. No wonder it smells like a barn. 1.00
00:00:59.020 Unorganized. Unorganized.
00:01:02.000 It's true. That's very true. I mean, here's the thing your wife will do. She'll invite, because we didn't get the prequel to that,
00:01:08.400 which is that the wife invites the guest over to the house and then is frantically cleaning the house. 1.00
00:01:14.240 Our company is coming. Get rid of the couches! 1.00
00:01:17.000 We can't let people know we sat!
00:01:19.100 In all of these very specific ways, because the guest is coming.
00:01:22.580 And then, but then she'll start to get annoyed through the cleaning process that the guest is coming. 0.95
00:01:28.300 And so then she'll start complaining that the guest is coming.
00:01:30.240 And then, and then while she's cleaning, and then she's like, well, we have people coming over and the house is a mess.
00:01:35.840 And then what you'll do is you'll say something really helpful. You'll say, well, you invited them.
00:01:39.940 So, and then, but then she will inform you that that comment was not helpful.
00:01:46.220 It did not contribute to the situation at all.
00:01:48.160 And that's usually the way I go.
00:01:49.380 But it's an important point, because look, I get around this problem by not ever inviting anyone over to the house.
00:01:54.740 Bingo. Red flag. I need to be cautious about this.
00:01:58.560 So I don't, I just never do that. I don't have to worry about, the house doesn't have to be presentable.
00:02:03.160 I am, it's never my fault that the house needs to look presentable.
00:02:06.580 Because if it was up to me, no one would ever step foot in a house who is not a blood relation.
00:02:11.240 And not just that, but like, but directly, like an immediate member of the nuclear family.
00:02:15.740 No one else would ever come in because it's just not worth the hassle.
00:02:17.820 So that's my general view on it.
00:02:21.020 But my wife does, you know, she invites them.
00:02:22.940 And then, of course, the house has to look like, it has to look like a catalog.
00:02:25.480 It has to, you know what the house has to look like?
00:02:26.920 It has to look like the interior of a house in a prescription drug commercial.
00:02:31.440 So imagine a middle-aged woman in her living room and in a prescription drug commercial. 1.00
00:02:36.820 And there's the VO is talking about irritable bowel syndrome or something.
00:02:39.620 That is what the house has to look like.
00:02:41.840 It's very sanitized. Everything is white and all of that. 0.72
00:02:46.360 Up to 20% of the population suffers from an irritable bowel.
00:02:50.500 And I remember the last time we had guests over, we had family coming over.
00:02:57.780 And my wife was organizing, what was it?
00:02:59.860 She was organizing the closet in the laundry room.
00:03:04.060 And she'd already cleaned everything else.
00:03:05.580 And then she went, I got to clean, I got to organize the closet in the laundry room.
00:03:09.740 And I said, no, you don't.
00:03:10.740 You don't have to organize that.
00:03:11.860 That's not a thing that has to happen at all.
00:03:13.480 Because they're not, why would they be in the closet in the laundry room?
00:03:16.540 And if they did, that's their problem.
00:03:18.160 I mean, if we had that, if the whole closet was just full, it was like a cartoon.
00:03:22.860 And it was, and if you opened it, all of the items would fall out on you.
00:03:26.080 If it was that bad, it would still, and they opened it, it's their fault.
00:03:30.580 So we don't have to worry about it.
00:03:32.560 That was my argument anyway.
00:03:34.040 But we have a lot of these videos, so let's just keep going.
00:03:36.380 John, John, John, look, look at that dog.
00:03:38.860 He's such an angel.
00:03:40.220 Are you looking?
00:03:40.840 Oh, he's cute.
00:03:41.380 I see him.
00:03:41.820 Stop not looking at him and look at him.
00:03:43.860 Oh, he's so cute.
00:03:44.860 I love him.
00:03:45.580 I don't even know him.
00:03:46.480 I love him so much.
00:03:47.560 I see, yeah.
00:03:48.320 You're not looking.
00:03:49.520 What?
00:03:49.860 You keep saying you're looking and you keep looking away.
00:03:52.120 Look.
00:03:52.460 He's literally just sitting there.
00:03:54.560 He's so cute.
00:03:55.360 That is a basic dog.
00:03:56.560 Do you love him?
00:03:57.240 No, I don't know him.
00:03:58.180 You should love him.
00:03:58.920 We have our own dog.
00:03:59.820 I think we should take him.
00:04:00.880 That would be illegal.
00:04:01.740 I just hope he's happy.
00:04:03.220 Yeah, this one I can't relate to at all, personally.
00:04:05.320 I mean, I don't doubt that women behave this way. 1.00
00:04:07.900 And I also don't doubt that my wife would do this, but she's, you know, she's married 0.78
00:04:12.040 to me, so she's not going to try to enlist.
00:04:14.660 There are limits.
00:04:16.100 And she's not going to try to enlist me in, maybe she did that once when we were first dating.
00:04:22.640 Look at the cute dog.
00:04:23.680 She might have done that once. 0.99
00:04:25.360 Like, 13 years ago.
00:04:27.060 But ever since then, there's no point.
00:04:29.000 It's hopeless.
00:04:30.000 So, she probably is freaking out in her head about cute dogs all the time, but she never 1.00
00:04:34.320 even bothers trying to bring me on board, which is probably for the best.
00:04:39.720 Keeping windshields clean is always a pain, especially with all the rain we've been getting
00:04:43.700 here in Nashville.
00:04:44.420 So, that's why I am so grateful to have Windshield Wow.
00:04:47.300 Windshield Wow is an innovative windshield cleaning device that uses two magnetic cleaning
00:04:50.960 paddles, one on the outside and one on the inside of your car, to clean both sides of
00:04:54.300 a windshield, all from the outside.
00:04:55.860 Being able to clean both the front and the inside window at the same time is a game changer.
00:04:59.240 I wish I had one of these years ago.
00:05:00.680 Seriously, all you do is push around the outside paddle and the inside follows automatically,
00:05:05.220 leaving your windshield squeaky clean.
00:05:06.820 Just in January, we had a pretty big snowstorm and with all the dirt and salt piled up on
00:05:10.160 the roads, washer fluid just couldn't get the job done.
00:05:12.540 Luckily, I had a Windshield Wow in my trunk to save the day.
00:05:16.640 That's what is so awesome about Windshield Wow.
00:05:18.500 It's so easy to throw these in the back of your car, so you always have a clean windshield.
00:05:22.380 The Windshield Wow applies firm cleaning pressure.
00:05:24.200 It's super thin to get into those tight dashboard areas.
00:05:27.680 What are you waiting for?
00:05:28.280 Go to windshieldwow.com and use code Walsh at checkout for a special discount.
00:05:31.520 That's windshieldwow.com, code Walsh.
00:05:42.540 That's a slice of life right there.
00:06:08.380 I mean, dead on accurate, obviously.
00:06:09.700 Now, what it's missing, at least in my case, is that oftentimes when the wife texts the 0.90
00:06:15.480 meme or the video, that's one thing because you can just ignore it.
00:06:18.440 But in my case, what will often happen is that it will be presented to me in person because
00:06:24.880 I actually live with my wife.
00:06:26.780 I don't know if you realize that.
00:06:27.960 So she'll come in and say,
00:06:31.500 Oh, you got to see this video.
00:06:32.940 This one you have to see.
00:06:34.480 And I'll say, I don't think I do have to see it.
00:06:36.180 I'm pretty sure I don't have to see it at all.
00:06:37.700 But I'll be made to sit and watch the meme or whatever.
00:06:45.480 Look at the meme.
00:06:46.220 That's one thing.
00:06:47.080 But usually it's a video.
00:06:48.340 It's like a TikTok or it's an Instagram thing.
00:06:51.020 And then the great part is that she's showing me the video and then watching me watch it
00:06:56.480 to see if I react that way, which I never do ever in the history of our marriage.
00:07:02.920 I never have once.
00:07:03.900 But she keeps trying.
00:07:04.980 Yeah, she's relentless. 0.99
00:07:06.380 You know, you got to stick with it.
00:07:07.720 Like she's going to find that one Instagram video that makes me crack up hysterically.
00:07:12.340 And she's gone through, you know, we've probably watched four.
00:07:16.680 I think we're at 46,000 of them now at this point.
00:07:18.920 And it hasn't happened, but she keeps trying.
00:07:20.700 Some of these things are long.
00:07:21.460 The other day she came in and it was a video of, it was an Instagram video of a guy like
00:07:25.660 reacting to weird Craigslist ads or something.
00:07:28.400 And I swear to you, this video was 95 minutes long.
00:07:32.700 It just, it took up the whole night was just watching this one video and it was slightly
00:07:36.760 amusing, but that's it.
00:07:38.100 The other thing too, is it doesn't matter what you're in the middle of doing.
00:07:41.700 You know, it says I could be putting out a grease fire in the kitchen and I'll be in
00:07:46.980 the middle of doing that.
00:07:47.900 And she'll come in.
00:07:48.640 You got to see this video.
00:07:49.860 Just, it's okay.
00:07:50.660 Can you just watch this video real quick?
00:07:51.880 Uh, but what's missing is that, is that the wife will react to memes and videos basically 1.00
00:07:59.000 like that.
00:07:59.840 She'll, she'll react as the first scenario is actually how women will react to like a 1.00
00:08:04.500 video.
00:08:04.740 They think it's funny.
00:08:05.220 I've seen my, my wife, she, someone sends her a video and I send her videos too that are
00:08:09.320 actually funny.
00:08:12.040 And, uh, and if she likes it, she will, I have seen her actually get on the phone and
00:08:18.200 call multiple people to tell them about this funny video.
00:08:21.700 She just saw.
00:08:22.400 So in this case, I think it's women to their credit, uh, who are, it's not like they're 0.78
00:08:27.400 asking something from us in this case that they don't do themselves.
00:08:29.660 It's just that men and women are different.
00:08:31.100 It's a problem.
00:08:31.960 Let's go to the next one.
00:08:38.240 Now, you know what, but that, why are you with your wife while she's shopping for anything 1.00
00:08:42.420 home decor related in the first place?
00:08:44.240 I mean, that's your first problem.
00:08:45.660 That's your first mistake because here's what's, here's what's also going to happen.
00:08:49.220 If you're there, right, then she will discard your opinion, of course, but she'll still
00:08:57.860 ask for it.
00:08:58.680 So that's, that, that is the, that's the game.
00:09:01.460 Okay.
00:09:01.700 That is the, and I, I, we can never figure it out as men.
00:09:05.000 We don't know why are you asking my opinion?
00:09:07.640 You know, cause they will ask for our opinion on many different home decor related things.
00:09:12.220 It's just that it never matters what the opinion actually is, but they will get it.
00:09:16.140 And they want, and they want the opinion.
00:09:17.720 I don't know why they want it.
00:09:19.420 I haven't been able to figure that out.
00:09:20.840 Um, so if you, if you're, but if you're with your wife and you're at the store and you're
00:09:24.980 buying some home decor related thing, you're shopping for, she wants a lamp or a bedside
00:09:29.720 table.
00:09:30.260 Uh, bedside tables in particular are big commitments I've discovered.
00:09:34.660 Every time we move, we end up not having bedside tables for at least a year because my wife 0.98
00:09:39.780 has to take, she takes a long time to figure out, she just needs to kind of like soak in
00:09:44.120 the essence of the room before she commits to one particular style of bedside table.
00:09:49.020 But the thing is, if you are at the store, she'll go, uh, do you like this one?
00:09:53.520 And you'll go, yeah, it's fine.
00:09:55.600 It's fine.
00:09:56.360 Yeah.
00:09:56.600 I really like that one's great.
00:09:57.640 Let's do that one.
00:09:58.600 And then she'll say, no, it's hideous.
00:10:00.640 And you'll say, oh, I didn't realize this was a pop quiz.
00:10:03.180 I thought you were actually, actually asking for my opinion, but apparently my opinion
00:10:07.080 can be wrong and it always is.
00:10:09.500 Um, okay.
00:10:11.060 Let's go to the next one.
00:10:11.700 Okay.
00:10:23.140 I have to say, I'm so happy that I saw that video because I, I honestly didn't know that
00:10:45.640 this was a universal thing.
00:10:46.680 I didn't realize, I didn't even realize this was a man, woman thing.
00:10:50.200 I thought that I thought I was the only one I thought I was alone in the universe dealing
00:10:54.200 with this issue.
00:10:55.380 Um, apparently it's an epidemic.
00:10:57.200 This is what like all wives do this. 1.00
00:10:58.620 I didn't, I didn't realize that.
00:10:59.500 I really didn't, uh, that, that, that it's not just mine, but, but all wives think that 0.95
00:11:05.280 garbage cans are like bottomless pits.
00:11:08.920 They treat the garbage can.
00:11:10.180 Like it's what's that thing.
00:11:11.080 And, um, what's the thing in star Wars, the, the giant pit that you throw people, uh,
00:11:16.720 this, what is it called?
00:11:17.960 The Sarlacc, I think. 0.95
00:11:20.200 So they treat the, they treat the trash can like a, like a Sarlacc in, uh, in, I might 1.00
00:11:26.320 be totally botching this analogy.
00:11:27.620 It's like this bottomless pit that can consume anything and they'll just keep putting things
00:11:31.600 in it.
00:11:32.060 Uh, no matter how much is already in the trash can, they'll keep on doing it indefinitely.
00:11:36.420 Um, here's the one twist though, for, in my particular case, what, what my wife will 0.88
00:11:41.620 do it.
00:11:41.800 I don't know if this is a universal thing or not.
00:11:43.380 I'll be interested to find out.
00:11:44.500 She will get to a point where she's like, okay, that's too much stuff in the garbage can. 1.00
00:11:47.460 Um, so then she'll tie the bag, you know, it's like, okay, the bag's had enough.
00:11:52.640 Let's tie the bag off, but she'll tie the bag off so that we can't put anything else in
00:11:57.900 it and then leave it, leave it in the can.
00:12:00.860 So now we have a tied bag in the can that's just sitting there.
00:12:05.540 So the next time someone comes along and they want to put something in the garbage can, they
00:12:08.660 can't because the bag's tied off.
00:12:10.060 And then, so then it's you because you know, women, they don't, it's, it's, it's, uh, they, 1.00
00:12:17.120 they taking the trash out is, I guess it's just one of those things that say they are absolutely
00:12:22.540 determined not to do it, which is, uh, which is fine.
00:12:25.860 And I have to say that all of these videos were quite relatable, at least most of them.
00:12:30.940 Um, and it was nice to do one of these where I'm not complaining about the videos the entire
00:12:35.420 time.
00:12:35.760 That was nice.
00:12:36.920 Instead, I'm complaining about my wife. 0.98
00:12:38.660 Uh, but, but not really, not really complaining because you know what, you know, this all boils
00:12:42.380 down to is that men and women are different and it's a beautiful thing.
00:12:46.640 It really is.
00:12:47.900 I'm, I'm quite glad that women are different because otherwise they would just be men and 1.00
00:12:53.780 I'd be married to a man and that would be gay. 0.97
00:12:59.200 So anyway, that's it. 0.97
00:13:03.640 I can't wait till it's quitting time.
00:13:07.120 She got something cooking for me tonight.
00:13:10.460 She keeps the home fires burning. 1.00
