It hurts to talk, but we're gonna come on here and we're gonna push through. So say a prayer for me, you guys. I absolutely love you and appreciate all of your kind comments, but one thing about me is the show must go on. So we have to talk about the Supreme Court ruling. Okay. I don't know how we' still debating this. Men and Women's Sports. It's 2026. We're going to talk about Jasmine Crockett. She's hanging out with drag queens, you guys.

She has found some drag queens who she thinks are going to turn out and vote for her. Apparently, the drag queen's name is Rachel Bitch Face. So if my mom's Bible study is watching, I apologize for the profanity. But take a look at this clip, and then we have to talk. What do you have to say to the gays in Houston?
- [03:31]
A
I want y' all to know that this isn't a campaign ploy. I want you to understand that you can have a champion and we can still win. I have been a champion for the LGBTQIA community. All the letters for eight. All the letters. Exactly.
- [03:43]
B
That's very important.
- [03:45]
A
You better clock it, Miss State level to the federal level. And I will continue to be. Even when I launched, most people were like, wait a minute, you got a trans person at your life that's going to speak? And I was like, absolutely, because she's a person and she's somebody that I love. I said, at the end of the day, Republicans going to do what they want to do. I got to be who I am. So just know I will always remain true to who I am. And I got your back.
- [04:09]
B
So, first off, nobody has a problem with drag queens being out at nightclubs at night where it's 21 and up. The only reason conservatives, Republicans, independents have issues with drag queens is when they go and they read to little children or they go and do really provocative, inappropriate dances for young kids. It's not like drag queens in general are under attack. It's just when you push ideology, gender ideology, trans ideology onto young, impressionable kids. Right? I've seen drag queens get practically naked and twerk in front of little kids faces. Right? That is inappropriate. And so Jasmine Crockett, she's acting like this community is under attack, but okay, she's looking for people to turn out and vote for her. I took some notes on this video. Okay, Clockett, Ms. Crockett actually has a ring to it. I will say Clockett. Ms. Crockett is kind of funny. It's kind of an iconic phrase. Number two in my notes. She seems a little tipsy herself. Drop a comment and tell me what you think. Jasmine Crockett, in my opinion, seems like she's been drinking also, like, she's slurring her words. Like maybe she had some dental work also. But no, Jasmine Crockett, she is seem. Well, she looks like a mess. She's slurring her words. I think this entire campaign is just a ploy. And she says it's not a marketing ploy. She says she's doing this earnestly because she cares about Texas. I'm from Texas. People don't want Ms. Jasmine crack a lack a Crockett running for Senate, okay? We want her running for Senate because it's entertaining. But I wouldn't trust her to, like, watch my dog. I wouldn't trust her to change a tire. So I certainly wouldn't trust her to run the state of Texas. And if she thinks this is going to help her, good luck. Okay, Texans, what we want is a secure border. We want an economy that works. We want the same things that most Americans want. Nobody cares about this LGBTQIA crap, okay? But Jasmine Crockett, she's leaning into identity politics right now because she has nothing else, because her campaign is on a lifeline. And I think in a year from now or two years from now, I don't think we'll be hearing from Jasmine Crockett at all. She'll probably be on one of those reality shows like Oxygen or Bravo, Real Housewives. Maybe they can do Real Housewives of Dallas again, and then she can just be on that. But Jasmine Crockett, I don't know what she's actually doing. She has no policies. This is sort of like the Kamala Harris campaign. There are no policies. It's just vibes and dancing and twerking and hanging out with drag queens. We have a story about Kamala Harris as well. I want to move into. Okay, Kamala Harris has bought a new massive mansion. And we have all the details right here. So she and her husband Doug, they recently dropped over $8 million on a 4,000 square foot mansion in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu, California, that's home to Hollywood celebrities like Sean Penn, Gerard Butler, Julia Roberts, and blah, blah, blah. The home features an indoor outdoor living, spa, bathroom, soaking tub. In recent weeks, Point Doom residents have spotted Doug Imhoff strolling through the neighborhood, which rests on a 63 acre promontory perched above one of California's most famous and exclusive beaches, known as Little Doom. Now, access to Little Doom requires a special key that only a select group of Point Doom residents can possess. Now, I'm not hating on her for having a nice house, right? She married rich. But I do think it's a little bizarre when her campaign lost about $2 billion in 107 days. And then she's going and buying, what, an $8 million house in Malibu. It's weird, right? It's weird to me. That Kamala Harris campaign, where did all of that money go, right? Was that money being moved into her coffers? Was it going into LLCs that were somehow rooted back to her? Like we've seen with the Somalian fraud situation, All Democrats know is fraud and scamming, right? They don't want to work. They just want to fraud taxpayers and they want to fraud donors. And then who was her vp? Tim Walls. Tim Walls is her vp who's like the leader of fraud. I mean, if there's. There's no one better on earth at fraud than Tim Walls. So he's her vp. She's sudden. Million dollar mansions in Malibu. Could it be from the book deal? Could it be from the husband? Sure. But Kamala Harris, this isn't speaking to working class Americans. And her whole brand is like, I'm the everyday all American girl. I'm just like you. I'm not part of the elites. And then she moves into, like, this gated, fancy community in Malibu where you need a key. So I just have a lot of questions about where the money went. And another thing I put in my notes, liberals get to fail upwards all the time. Kamala Harris, when it comes to her, when it comes to Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, these Democrats, they can lose elections, they can fail miserably, lose the popular vote, every single swing state, and they continue to get millions of dollars, massive book deals, they get to go on tv, they get praised. Republicans don't get that. But for some reason, Democrats get to continue failing upward. And that's what we're seeing with Kamala Harris. She has no achievements. She was put in charge of the border. That was a disaster. She was supposed to secure the country. She was supposed to do a lot of things, right? Kamala Harris accomplished absolutely nothing as vp. And then she ran her campaign into the ground and lost $2 billion. And so for this woman to still be out there and praised by the left as this feminist icon, it's laughable. It's Absolutely laughable. But part of me thinks she's buying this mansion. Maybe she's gonna go away. Maybe she's not gonna run again. Maybe she's gonna actually go away. Gavin Newsom, I'm sure will run, will run. But maybe Kamala just wants to go be a rich, wealthy woman living in Malibu, and she'll be praised by Democrats forever. She'll always be invited to the cookout. Maybe that is the journey for Kamala Harris. Now we have to move on to Ellen DeGeneres. I thought when Ellen's show ended that she was gonna go away also. Remember, she moved to the Cotswold. She moved over to the UK Then she decided, well, I don't want to live in the English countryside with my obnoxious, nagging wife, so let me come back to California. So Ellen DeGeneres, who also kind of my doppelganger. At times, I either look like Draco Malfoy or Ellen DeGeneres, but I'm a lot nicer. Okay? I'm a lot nicer. Ellen's whole thing was be kind and treat everyone with kindness. Then we found out she was running the Stanford prison experiments backstage at her show, and she was a huge menace. So I'm a lot nicer than Draco or Ellen. But she has gone viral, okay? She went viral yesterday because she's speaking out about the protest in Minneapolis and Minnesota. And let me just warn you before we play the clip, Ellen does not look well. Roll it.
- [10:29]
A
Hey, everybody. I just wanted to say I am so sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and. And our country, really. But specifically Minneapolis right now, because it's where I shot my last stand up special, and everybody there couldn't have been more lovely. I shot it there because they say it's the happiest city in America, and I found that to be true. So my thoughts and my prayers are going out to everyone, and I'm proud of everyone who's protesting peacefully. And I am sorry for anyone who has been hurt just for protesting, for doing what you should be doing. Anyway, I just sending love.
- [11:18]
B
I feel like that video was us coming to her live at the asylum. It's like, live from the asylum. Here's Ellen DeGeneres chiming in on Minneapolis. I don't need to hear from a rich, wealthy woman who lives in a gated community about immigration, about ice, Right? This is a woman who is so wealthy, she could just pick up and move to the English countryside on a whim because she wanted to, right? So we don't need to Hear from her about these ICE raids, right, people. We want deportations. We want criminals off the street. Ellen DeGeneres is a joke. She's a hack. She was exposed as a fraud. You want to talk about fraud in Minnesota? She was a fraud because of her whole be kindness stuff, right? She's not a kind person. So I wrote down, yes, we're coming to her from the asylum. She says she's proud of the protesters, but I don't want to hear how proud she is from her mansion. Okay? Number one. Number two, she doesn't look like she's doing well. It looks like that time at the house in the Cotswolds with Portia, her wife, really took a toll on her. Right? This is a woman who's used to being out and gallivanting, and then she was stuck in a house in the English countryside with her wife. And she looks like she's been through war. Okay? She looks pretty rough, Ellen DeGeneres. She looks like she needs some help. But we don't need rich celebrities actually chiming in on these issues. In fact, part of the problem with the Democratic Party, with Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, is that they cozied up way too much to these celebrities. I think Kamala Harris's campaign cared way too much about these celebrity endorsements. Like Beyonce, like Kelly rowland, like Ellen DeGeneres, like Lizzo, Megan, thee stallion. They cared way too much about celebrity endorsements when they should have been working for working class Americans. Right? The forgotten men and women of this country. What about people in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Minnesota, Iowa? What about these states that people like Ellen DeGeneres never go to visit? Right. Does Ellen DeGeneres understand what a steel worker goes through? Right. Does she understand what someone in Michigan is going through? Right. Someone who's working in an auto plant. Right. Maybe an auto plant was put out of business and now they're trying to find other alternative jobs. Does Ellen understand any of that? No, she doesn't, because she lives either in a rich neighborhood, okay. In California, in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, or she's in the English countryside. So whenever these celebrities chime in on these social issues, it just makes me laugh because we don't need to hear from you at all. But Ellen DeGeneres, you're kind of continuing your descent into insanity. You look like you're in an insane asylum. You look worse for wear. Okay? People in the comments, do not comment and say I look like Ellen DeGeneres. Because you know what? I won't be offended. I don't even Care. Now we have to move on to the Supreme Court situation. We have copious notes, okay? Copious notes on the Supreme Court debacle. I'm really just going to give you the Cliff Notes because I think most people know by now the Supreme Court is hearing some arguments, okay? They're deliberating over men and women's sports. Okay? So they already did a ban on transgender procedures for minors. I believe that happened a few months ago. But now they're trying to decide, should we allow men to compete against women? Should we allow men into the women's locker rooms? And my overarching thesis here is, how are we still having this conversation? But I want to play you guys a clip from Riley Gaines first, and then we'll discuss a little bit further.
- [14:34]
A
We are fighting for the bare minimum here. The bare minimum. Can we, as women, call ourselves champions? Can we allow ourselves to be vulnerable in an intimate area of undressing, such as a locker room, without having to fear a man walking into that space? Can we do those things? I surely hope. I'm very optimistic that we will see a favorable ruling here.
- [15:01]
B
How are we still having this conversation? Okay, it's 2026. One thing I wrote down is if you work on the Supreme Court, okay, if you are a justice on the Supreme Court, how can you not tell the difference between a man and a woman? It's like these doctors, right? These doctors who are transing kids, injecting them with hormones. What is wrong with you? Okay? There have to be some type of perverse incentives, like these people on the Supreme Court. You're telling me Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't understand that there are differences between men and women. All of my girlfriends will say the same thing. They're like, look, there are certain jobs men can do way better than us, right? They are just biological differences, right? There are pros and cons and strengths and weaknesses with everything in life, right? I'm a guy. There's certain things I can't go to, right? I'm not some big bodybuilder weightlifter. Am I going to complain and whine and say I should be allowed into this and that? No, I'm not going to. And so when it comes to these women, they're like, look, we are different from men. We shouldn't have to compete against men. And no girl should be made to feel uncomfortable, right? Girls should not feel uncomfortable when they're trying to have that camaraderie and be a part of a sports team and they're training and they're working hard, and then they have to feel guarded about their bodies in the locker rooms. That's not okay. This is supposed to be the party of feminism, female empowerment on the left. But then they're perfectly fine with men coming in and taking opportunities from women, making women feel uncomfortable. So all that feminism was unmasked as bs. It's absolute bs. All this left wing feminism goes out the window because they're perfectly fine with grown men coming in and taking spots from girls or being in the locker rooms. And so we also have a video from the ACLU of all of these celebrities, okay? The celebrities who are not happy with the decision.
- [16:50]
A
When you're young, you believe that you can do anything, and then the world tries to set limits for you, tell you what's allowed, what's normal, who you're supposed to be. But on the field, the track, the court, here you get to be exactly who you are. Because at our core, we're still the kids who just want to play the.
- [17:07]
B
Go big game changers, the living, breathing fabric of this country. Supporting trans youth isn't just about sports.
- [17:14]
A
It's about freedom on and off the field. It's more than a game.
- [17:18]
B
Okay? So number one, those are the most D list celebrities I've ever seen. They couldn't even get good celebrities for that video. That's number one. Number two, if they want to show empathy, empathy for trans kids, have empathy for them, of course, have the kids go into therapy. But you don't have to inject kids with hormones. You don't have to force them to share locker rooms with people of the opposite sex. That is not how we move forward as a society. We have to protect women. You can't have any more of this insanity anymore. Like, I don't know how we're still having this debate in 2026. If you went back, okay, if you went Back to, say, 1956, 1966, and you said someday, someday we would have to march and fight outside the Supreme Court to get men out of women's locker rooms and off of the sports teams, people would have said, you're crazy. They would have thought it was some insane sketch comedy, something from an old TV show. Like, they would have thought it was absolutely nuts. It's like something SNL would have made fun of back in the day with Will Ferrell when the show was still kind of funny. Now we have to have these debates and act like we're not living in La La Land. Have we all slipped into another dimension where we don't Understand that men and women have biological differences. It's absolutely nuts. Okay, someone else who was nuts. Someone else who was nuts is Gavin Newsom. So Gavin Newsom did a podcast with Ben Shapiro recently, and we saw this clip. This clip was going viral all over the Internet. Gavin Newsom, he has no scruples. He has no principles. He stands for nothing. Okay, On Monday, Gavin Newsom will say one thing, and then on Tuesday, he says something completely different. So whichever donor or special interest group is calling him, that's kind of where Gavin Newsom goes, in my opinion. But I want to play you guys this clip of. Of him discussing trans sports and trans children and everything trans with Ben Shapiro and watch him squirm and wiggle.
- [19:13]
A
Fundamental question that lies at the root of all of this is the question that you're not wanting to answer, which is whether boys can become girls. Yeah, I just. Well, I think for the grace of God, why is it such a. I'm curious. I understand the political potency of it. It's not politically potent, but it just. How so few. We're talking about so few people. It's not about that. That are. That are struggling with, With, With, With. With gender identity issues. A lot of remarkable people, a lot of wildly successful people, and they've gone in their life, have incredible lives. But yes, it is not an act of bigotry to say that a boy cannot become a girl. Nor should my children be taught in K through 12 public schools that a boy can become a girl.
- [19:53]
B
Yeah.
- [19:53]
A
That is not an act of bigotry. That's an act of rationality and biological simplicity. I respect your point of view. And you know, but good people disagree on this. I know, but in a lot of states, not just California.
- [20:05]
B
So Gavin Newsom says some people disagree. Even Gavin Newsom disagrees with himself. Remember, he was on Charlie Kirk's podcast a few months ago, made Charlie Kirk rest in peace, and they discussed men and women's sports and he kind of admitted, look, it's not fair. Now he's done an about face. I think he realizes in order to get the Democratic nominee in 2028, you have to support men and women's sports, open borders, all of this insan. And so he's coming down on the side of this wacky woke crap. That is who Gavin Newsom is. But I don't want someone running the country where you don't know where you stand. Right. President Trump, one thing I love about him, he is going to tell you exactly what he thinks and how he feels that's how he was able to ascend in politics so quickly, because he came in and said, here's what I think about this. Here's what I think about the border, immigration, men and women's sports, whatever. He'll give you a hot take. And some people love it, some people don't. That's what it means to be American. We have free speech here. The First Amendment. Gavin Newsom is sort of a snake. He's not sort of a snake. He is a snake because he'll just tell you one thing. He'll do the opposite. He'll say one thing one day, and then we're supposed to have like a Men in Black Jedi mind eraser and forget that he ever said it. I don't have amnesia, okay? I don't have amnesia. I'm not going to forget the things that Gavin Newsom said. And so, Gavin Newsom, as a father, As a father, how can you not support girls? How can you not support women's sports? How can you support guys coming in? And look at Peyton McNabb and look at these girls who've been injured and had brain damage and missed out on medals and scholarships because guys came in at the last minute and took everything they'd worked for. And Gavin Newsom wants to be in charge of the nuclear codes. It's actually really sick. It's sick. It's saddening. I think Gavin Newsom's a really, really, really pathetic and troubled man who should not ever, ever, ever be in the Oval Office, because I want someone who's going to give it to me straight. That's what I love about the president we have now. You ask President Trump, what are we going to do with this country? He'll tell you. If he doesn't like someone, he'll go snatch them up. Right? We know where we stand with President Trump. Those are the presidents I want. I don't want Gavin Newsom running in 2028. And we don't know where he stands on a very simple issue. You can't tell us what you think about men and women's sports and kids becoming transed. And he seems perfectly fine with gender and trans ideology being pushed on young kids in K through 12. That's not good, right? If you're a parent out there, if you're a grandparent, you don't want your kid or your grandkid going to school and then being told they could be born in the wrong body. You might have little Johnny over here who never once questioned his gender, right? Look at me.
- [22:42]
A
Right.
- [22:42]
B
I was gay, very obviously gay growing up, very conservative environment. What if someone said to me, oh, you're trans, we need to get you put on hormones? I'm not trans. I'm just gay, okay? I love being a man. So for me, you know, I see kids sometimes. It's like even girls. A girl might be a little bit of a tomboy for a few years growing up and through puberty now there are doctors who would push them to transition, right? It's a sickness. It's really, really, really sick. Right? We used to have gay kids and gay folks and everything was fine and everything was simple and whatever. And that's how we roll. And now a lot of these gay kids are being transitioned and transed and they're not even trans. They're not trans. They just maybe, hey, they like to play with Barbies. Maybe it's a girl who likes to play in the dirt, right? She does things that are seen as masculine. And so I just think it's a very scary slippery slope when you have a elected official, an elected official like Newsom, who's so powerful and well known and is fine with K through 12, gender and trans ideology in schools. It's sick, but we gotta pay some bills and then we'll be back with Harry and Megan. 2026 is all about effortless upgrades. One of my favorites, swapping regular potato chips with Vandy Crisps.

Now, it wouldn't be an episode of Spot on if we didn't talk about those two little hucksters. And Monaco. The Duke and Duchess of Scamalot. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Okay, so Harry's over in the uk. He's back in court. He's always suing someone, right? He's either suing a newspaper, he's suing for security. All he knows are lawsuits. Maybe he thinks he's going to get rich quick from one of these lawsuits. So he's over in the UK, but it's also the 10 year anniversary. It's the 10 year anniversary of their love affair. You know, when they met and they went to Botswana and she's running around in the jean booty shorts. Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed. But Harry and Meghan posted a video on Instagram celebrating 10 years together. And apparently it was taken by their 4 year old. I think the 4 year old was controlling the phone. Allegedly. This is what they say. The kid was taking the video. They're dancing, they look like they're in love. They're twirling around. It's their 10 year anniversary. I'm always skeptical of these couples who have to constantly show their love on social media, right? The couples that are always posting. It's like, are you really happy? Are you guys really that happy? Or is there something going on behind closed doors? Like you're protesting too much, right? Like we are fine. Our relationship is great. We have no problem. So I am a little skeptical of this. But it also reminds me when they got together, we were all rooting for them, right? Back in 2016 when they met, when they had the wedding in 2018, everyone welcomed Harry and Meghan with open arms. And then it's just been a crap show, okay? It's been a crap show for about 10 years, okay? They leave, the royal family, accuse them of racism. They do reality shows, book deals. Nothing is good enough for them. It's complain, complain, complain. And it just reminds me, right, they're celebrating their 10 year anniversary. It's been 10 years. 10 years of them doing everything they can, everything they can to dismantle the monarchy. Right. I think Harry is so jealous of William in a way. There's such deep seated anger or jealousy there. I mean, he wrote about intimate arguments with his brother and his book, he put that up for public consumption. He wrote about arguments and things with Catherine, Right? So I think there's such animosity there that Harry and Meghan would love, they would love to see the royal family go down. They would love to see the royal family fail. And so when you see this 10 year anniversary, you're reminded of this 10 year campaign that they have waged, right? Never giving the royal family a moment of peace. Even when they left and they said, we're leaving, we're done, we want privacy, we're going away. It's Oprah accusing them of racism. It's book deals, it's Netflix. It's never ending. It's never ending, okay? They never stop. And so I'm happy that they've been together for 10 years. I wish them well. I don't know if they'll last another 10. But you're just reminded of, wow. Threw her a big wedding, Beautiful wedding. Charles walked her down the aisle. Maybe we can find a picture or something. But Charles walked her down the aisle, okay? She didn't have her own father at the wedding. That was sketchy. That was red flag number one. And she was so embraced. I mean, people out in the streets cheering for her. The most beloved woman on the COVID of every magazine and it wasn't good enough. And so as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary, it's a double edged sword because you're reminded of how many steps did it take to get here, Right? You see that video of them? They're alone. They are alone in the grass in California, just the two of them. They're not working for the Commonwealth. Two billion people. They're not doing their charities, their foundations, their philanthropies in the uk. They're not doing any of that. They're alone dancing around in California. And maybe that's what Meghan wanted to be an influencer. But normally an influencer has better ideas than Meghan Markle because she is selling a bookmark. Now, my producer sent this to me. Meghan Markle is selling a bookmark. And I don't even need to read you too much, but it retails for about $18. It's already sold out. It apparently has her handwriting on it. It says, fell asleep here. Bookmark. Okay? Why does, as ever, her product line and her brand come out with the most insane products? Okay? Do a clothing line. Do something normal. I mean, she's selling bookmarks. She's selling jams, jellies, and dog biscuits. She's selling candles without wicks, okay? That's the one thing about traveling. Right now, I don't have my wickless candle to hold up on the. The screen. But no one, no one needs to buy a fancy bookmark. You can fold a page over, you can stick a receipt in there. You can do anything, right? You could stick a napkin in. Who is buying a Meghan Markle bookmark? And when it says it's sold out, when it says it's sold out, how many have they sold? 5, 10, 100? I mean, is she buying them? Because I heard some stories recently that she had a ton, a ton of inventory left on everything, and they just say that it's sold out. I think brands do this now. They'll be like, oh, we're sold out. No, you're not. No, you're not. But Meghan Markle, she wants us to believe that she's this talented entrepreneur. She's this Martha Stewart. She's this Gwyneth Paltrow, okay? They would never, never sell a bookmark, okay? I would respect Meghan Markle more. She did like an 818tequila if she did an alcohol brand of some kind, right? But the fact that she's trying to sell a bookmark just shows me that she's socially inept and awkward and a little bit weird. Okay? And not weird in the way that we like. You know, I like weird people, but Meghan Markle selling a bookmark. To me, the bookmark is getting markled, but I don't understand what she's doing. She should do a clothing line. I mean, she looks terrible, but I'm just trying to brainstorm, what can she do? I mean, the Kardashians. Remember the Kardashians were selling the faux bush panties. And maybe we can put a picture up on the screen, but the Kardashians were selling these faux bush panty merkins. That was terrible. Okay, I guess bush is back in Office. The bush is back. Okay, Bush and the tush. But Meghan Markle, I would respect her more if she just did something wild and insane like that. But she's doing like jams, jellies, bookmarks, and these weird little product drops that make no sense. I would respect her more if she was just going full Kardashian and just, you know, selling the fake nipple piercings they were selling and the merkins, just all that weird, bizarre, sicko stuff. If she did that at at least it would be kind of shocking. At least it would be funny. But here we are with Meghan Markle. She's selling a bookmark. She is selling a bookmark. Something you cannot make up. But Harry and Meghan, this is clearly what they wanted. They went from being royalty, British royalty, honestly, global royalty, where celebrities would have been begging to hang out with them. I mean, celebrities were coming to their wedding who she never even met. Okay? She had more celebrities at her wedding than her own family. She didn't have her father, but she had like George Clooney and Oprah. So she could have been hanging out with these folks and being royalty. Now she's literally alone in California selling bookmarks, you guys, okay? So take my advice. In life, you have to know when you have it good, if you have it good, ride that freaking wave. Ride that wave until the end. But Meghan Markle, she is her own inner saboteur. She loves to self sabotage and that's who she is. I have to tell you about my new favorite, favorite sleep upgrade.

Well, ladies, we have to finish the show by having a relationship discussion. There is something that has gone viral over the weekend. A man wrote in on Reddit and then it ended up on the New York Post. He is upset because he feels like his wife, who is a stay at home mother, should be doing the bulk of the house chores. She feels like he should come home from work and still be carrying some of the load. And we have all the quotes. All the quotes. Let me read them to you, but come in close because I need you guys to comment and tell me what you think. Okay? So husband is wondering if he's in the wrong for expecting his wife to take care of the home since he's the one supporting them. Here's what he wrote. I work 40 hours a week and my wife stays home. She decided she wanted to be a stay at home mom and despite me not agreeing, she did it anyway. I told her dual income was better because if one of us lost our jobs, we'd still be okay. But she said she didn't want to miss out on her son's elementary years. Recently, I heard her complaining to her sister on the phone that I just get home and immediately start playing video games. I later confronted her about it and she said she expects me to do 50% of the household labor. I disagreed because on top of my 40 hour job, I also handle 100% of the finances and 100% of the car maintenance, yard trimming trees or when something breaks. She says she's carrying a lot of the mental load and I told her I am too. She seems to think hers is more than mine. But again, I disagree now. Now, most people commenting on the post vehemently, okay, defend the husband. Others pointed out she doesn't want to be a stay at home mom, she wants to be a trophy. So this is our debate for the day, okay? I want to hear from the moms, the women, the grandmas, the girlfriends, most of the women I spoke to, I said, you guys, tell me what you think. They all said the same thing. If the woman is not working, if she is at home all day, every day and the man is the total sole income provider, she probably should be doing the bulk of the housework. You know what I'm saying? She should be doing the bulk of the housework unless he can afford to have help. So I don't think it's crazy that the guy comes home from working morning till night and he wants to just unwind, okay? He wants to unwind for a little bit, okay? And I'm all for women if they want to work, if they want to go and excel and achieve their dreams, but if the woman says strongly, I want to stay home, I don't want to work, right? He's saying, go out there, work. I'm happy that you want to go work and do this. She doesn't want to to, she wants to stay home. So from the woman I've spoken to, they say if she's choosing to stay home, there is an impetus on her to do the bulk of the housework. There just is, right? So the guy is working all day, every day. He comes home, he does a lot of the maintenance, he takes care of the bills, he trims the trees, he trims the bushes. And she's upset that he's not doing 50% of the housework. So she also doesn't have a million kids, okay? We looked into the story. It's not like she has 20 kids. It's not like she has five kids, 10 kids, right? I think it would be feasible for her to get the housework done for her to get the housework done. But at least she has a husband who is supportive of her working. If she doesn't want to be stay at home, okay? She's mad that she stayed home and he's not picking up the slack. But then he says, sweetie, go work. We could have dual income. She doesn't want to do that either. So she sounds like someone who's kind of between a rock and a hard place, who doesn't want to do anything. She sounds like she's a little bit of a nagger. Like she's a nagging kind of girlfriend, wife, and she just actually doesn't want to do that much. But I do want to hear from the women, okay? If you've been a stay at home mom, if you are a stay at home mom, is the expectation that you are going to do the bulk of the work at home unless you're very wealthy and you have help. Okay? That's a whole separate conversation. But if the guy is working all day, I don't think it's crazy. He wants to come home and unwind. And then also, one thing you have to know about men, if they've been working all day, I can say this because I am one. I don't want to talk, okay? I want to be left alone. Leave me alone. I don't play video games, but I want to sit on my phone and I want to scroll through TikTok or I want to sit in front of the TV and watch reruns of something stupid. The last thing a man wants when he comes home at the end of the day is to be nagged. Okay? There's actually. I've heard studies and spoken to psychologists on this. There needs to be like an hour, an entire hour where you don't talk, don't ask questions, don't bombard him with what he did that day. And they actually tell parents now, don't bombard your kid with questions. Right when they get home from school, they need a minute to, like, decompress. I've been at school. I'm decompressing. And so I think the fact that he comes home from work and he wants to just unwind and turn his brain off and she's nagging him, like, do the laundry, do this, do that. I can kind of understand where the guy is coming from. So I need to hear from you guys, okay? Do you think the woman who is staying home should be doing the bulk of the housework, or do you think she's in the right? There might be some contrarian folks who think she's in the right and that her husband should be picking up the slack. All right, my friends, thank you so much for tuning in to Spot on with Link. Lauren, I apologize the fact that it hurts to talk okay. It hurts to talk. Keep hoping, hey, maybe I'll wake up tomorrow. It'll be God. So shout out to all the dentists and endodontists and everybody out there. I. I love you, but we wanted to come on here, do an episode, get through our topics. And I don't care that much about perfection. Right? I never care about looking perfect for you guys or if the background's perfect or where I am. I just want to come on here and talk with you guys. So we will be back in a few days. I will see you on Wednesday. I love you all and I can't wait to read your comments. All right, bye.
