| Well, there is no show today. | |
| That's the bad news. | |
| The bosses were upset that I've been complaining about the hotel accommodation so much, and so they've fired me. | |
| They said if I don't like the hotel, I can go back to being homeless in my car. | |
| No, that's not actually what happened at all. | |
| We just are traveling, and that's why we can't, unfortunately, do a show today. | |
| But the good news is that we still have some content To feed to you, my sweet babies. | |
| I would never let you starve from a lack of content. | |
| So we got something special, a little bit of relationship advice that I'll be doling out on a Friday. | |
| That's coming up in just a second. | |
| But I want to tell you that this video is brought to you by 40 Days for Life. | |
| And there's no better time to talk about 40 Days for Life after the Texas abortion ban and all the discussion about abortion that has been reignited in the last week. | |
| You know, what we find for a lot of conservatives who have the right view on this topic still aren't always prepared to discuss and defend their pro-life views. | |
| And that's why 40 Days for Life has just released the perfect book for those looking to arm themselves | |
| against a broad range of pro-choice talking points titled "What to Say When? | |
| The Complete New Guide to Discussing Abortion." | |
| The book is an easy read for individuals looking to defend life and convert hearts. | |
| A lot has changed, of course, since abortion was legalized in 1973. | |
| "What to Say When?" equips readers with proven approaches to dismantling the pro-abortion agenda. | |
| These methods have already enabled 40 Days for Life members to convert the hearts | |
| of 221 abortion workers. | |
| And another nice thing about this book is that I actually wrote the foreword for it so I can endorse it personally. | |
| And I also, even though I talk about these issues all the time, I really enjoyed reading the book and I gleaned a lot from it as well. | |
| So, What to Say When? | |
| The Complete New Guide to Discussing Abortion. | |
| You can get that with free shipping and 21% off a signed hardback at 40daysforlife.com slash whattosaywhen and that's what's sponsoring the video you're about to watch. | |
| Also, speaking of videos, on Monday, We're also not going to be doing a show. | |
| Nobody in the company will be. | |
| But we have something very special on Monday. | |
| If you check back on YouTube, we're going to finally have our Sweet Baby Gang Anthem Contest. | |
| You don't want to miss that. | |
| We're going to finally select what the anthem is that will reverberate through our hearts for all time. | |
| So make sure you check for that on Monday. | |
| I'll be back on Tuesday. | |
| Godspeed, my sweet babies. | |
| Check out the video. | |
| You know, one thing I do sometimes on this channel is dispense relationship advice. | |
| It's been a little while since our last relationship advice segment, I think, and I know that couples across America and the world really are hanging in the balance, falling apart, unsure what to do without my guidance. | |
| And so I'm back to be that guiding light for you again as we return to the Relationship Advice Forum on Reddit to settle these disputes, answer questions, repair broken bonds, Let's check it out. | |
| We'll start with this question. | |
| Here says, My girlfriend of two years just revealed to me that she might want to try a one-off every so often in our otherwise monogamous relationship, in which we would message the other person that we're taking a night off, meaning taking someone else home and having sex with them that night. | |
| We're going to have sex with other people, but otherwise we're going to be monogamous. | |
| I don't think it means what you think it means. | |
| You know, I'm a vegetarian other than the three or four times a day that I eat meat. | |
| It's kind of a similar thing. | |
| For context, we're talking about sexual preferences and it sort of struck me out of nowhere because she so far led me to believe she's a pretty possessive and sometimes jealous girlfriend who doesn't like to share her significant other. | |
| It came as a little bit of a shock because I definitely wouldn't be okay with it and she knows that I prefer monogamy in long-term relationships. | |
| We tried talking out a little in which I stated my case but I'm just kind of worried that she might want that in the distant future if we get engaged and eventually married like we've talked about in the past. | |
| Any advice is welcome. | |
| Well, you're not going to get engaged or married because what you're going to do is break up. | |
| Bye Felicia. | |
| She's asking for permission to cheat. | |
| She's probably already cheating. | |
| This is probably more of a... | |
| This is more of her seeking validation after the fact for what she's already done. | |
| But even if it isn't, she's telling you, I don't, I'm not interested in being committed to you, which means what's the, in what sense are you even in a relationship at all? | |
| That's an easy one. | |
| Just be done with her and break up. | |
| Uh, glad we could settle that. | |
| All right, next. | |
| It says, I feel like I'm not allowed to have my own time. | |
| I've been dating my girlfriend for almost half a year now, and it's been mostly great, other than her clinginess. | |
| She's the type to send multiple walls of text while I'm at work, and then when I give her a quick response trying to explain to her I'm busy, she thinks I'm upset at her, which in reality I am, and I've tried to explain to her that there's no need to blow my phone up when I'm on the clock at work or at school. | |
| I'm trying to explain to her I'm busy, and I've even set boundaries for her to not borderline spam me when I don't reply, but I feel like When I bring this up, she thinks you don't want me to text you at all. | |
| She's also tried calling me while I'm at work, and when I don't answer, she'll text my parents asking if I'm safe. | |
| There's also been instances of me having to text her to get her to let me be when I'm hanging out with a friend. | |
| Okay, I think we get the idea here. | |
| Extremely clingy, extremely needy. | |
| Once again, I would say break up. | |
| Bye, Felicia. | |
| Now, granted, you guys have been dating for half a year, you'd say, which means you've barely been together at all. | |
| Okay, so you're still babies in a relationship, and she's still in the infatuation stage of things. | |
| And every couple has the infatuation stage when you're sort of obsessed with each other and you need to be around each other 24-7, which there's no love before. | |
| The infatuation gets in the way of love. | |
| There can't be real love because The infatuation stages self-focused. | |
| You're obsessed with how this person makes you feel. | |
| So it's all about you. | |
| She's texting and calling you all the time. | |
| Not because she's actually worried about you, but more that she needs that constant connection with you | |
| for her own self. | |
| She doesn't really care if she's intruding on you or not. | |
| So it's really not about you at all. | |
| It's more about her. | |
| Tell me I'm pretty! | |
| Tell me I'm pretty! | |
| Tell me I'm pretty. | |
| There's probably nothing beneath the infatuation except the infatuation itself. | |
| This is going to be one of those situations where you stay with her, and then in a few months, she gets bored and just breaks up with you also. | |
| She'll go from utterly obsessed with you to she doesn't want anything to do with you, just like that. | |
| Or she'll cheat or something. | |
| So I just cut this one off now. | |
| I mean, general rule here, if you've been dating for only six months, and she's already annoying the hell out of you every second of the day, not a good sign. | |
| So I would Just leave that one alone. | |
| You know, just to cut in here very quickly, you know what this all reminds me of? | |
| Magnesium. | |
| Especially Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizer. | |
| Listen, if you're having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, one of the best things | |
| you can possibly do is start getting enough magnesium. | |
| If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. | |
| But please do not run to the store to buy the first magnesium supplement you find. | |
| Most magnesium supplements use only the two cheapest synthetic forms, and since they're not full spectrum, they won't fix your magnesium deficiency or help you sleep better. | |
| That's no good. | |
| That's why you need BiOptimizer. | |
| There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium, and you must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, sleep-enhancing effects. | |
| That's why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizer. | |
| Simply take two capsules before you go to bed and you'll be amazed by how much better you sleep and how much more rested you feel when you wake up. | |
| So for an exclusive offer for my listeners go to www.MagBreakthrough.com slash Walsh and use code WALSH10 to save 10% off when you try Magnesium Bioptimizer. | |
| Oh, and one more thing for a limited time, BuyOptimizers is also giving away free bottles | |
| of their best-selling products, P30M and Maszyms with select purchases. | |

| And also once a month, you know, the hosts of Daily Wire come together on backstage | |
| for some lighthearted debate And sometimes not so lighthearted debate as well, but it's | |
| always a very interesting and I'm extremely excited to tell you that our backstage in October is going to be staged a little bit differently. | |

| My husband and I have been together for 13 years, married for five. | |
| At the beginning of our relationship, he was super affectionate, holding hands, cuddling with me, the whole nine yards. | |
| We've always gotten along great and had a really positive, fulfilling relationship in every sense of the word. | |
| Not surprisingly, after being together this long, things have changed. | |
| I've noticed in the past year or so that he's been much more physically distant. | |
| He's not affectionate at all anymore, and our sex life has dwindled to once a week and seemingly unenthusiastically on his part. | |
| When I've asked him about this, he always tells me it's just because he's getting older and isn't interested in sex anymore. | |
| About the not being affectionate thing, he says, grown men don't like being hugged and stuff. | |
| Yeah. | |
| The final straw was me getting COVID and having to sleep in separate rooms to quarantine. | |
| He said he still wants to sleep in separate rooms, telling me it's because he sleeps better. | |
| We still get along and have a lot of fun together, but I feel like at this point he treats me like a roommate instead of a wife. | |
| I don't want to leave him, but I also don't think 38 is too old to give up on a romantic relationship entirely. | |
| Okay, so... | |
| I'm gonna take the opposite approach here and say that breaking up, divorcing, shouldn't even be on the table. | |
| What worries me the most in this whole thing is that you said, uh, I don't want to leave him, but, right? | |
| Like that shouldn't be in the discussion at all. | |
| Of course, you're not going to leave him for this. | |
| That doesn't make him right in what he's doing and how he's treating you. | |
| But this is not a divorce situation, not even close to it. | |
| This is what's known as a rough patch. | |
| Happens in marriages sometimes. | |
| The only thing that makes it a little bit unusual is the bit where he doesn't want to sleep in the same room and that you can't allow at all. | |
| That's a death knell. | |
| Separate rooms? | |
| I mean, then you really are roommates. | |
| Not to mention if you have kids, the message that sends to them, so that's no good. | |
| As for the rest of this, you know, you have to let him know what your emotional needs are and that it's not all about him. | |
| But that should be something you could talk about. | |
| One other thought here. | |
| Married for five years, together for 13. | |
| So you were together for seven or eight years before marriage. | |
| This is maybe yet another reason why long engagements or courtships or dating periods or whatever are not very good, because you're hitting this rough period, these kind of doldrums, way earlier than you should be, because you were already eight years in by the time you even walked down the aisle. | |
| And that means you hit your rough patch early, and you aren't going to have all these many, many years of marriage behind you. | |
| To serve as a stable foundation to see you through, and that's part of the problem. | |
| You want to be sick of each other, like, once you've been married for a while. | |
| I'm kidding, of course. | |
| I mean, the doldrums and the rough patches, it's not inevitable. | |
| Not every marriage has them, but it can happen. | |
| And I'm suggesting that you're on a bit of a sped-up timeline because of your very, very long preseason. | |
| So cut the preseason down. | |
| Get right to the main, to the season. | |
| Can't do anything about that now, so I would say just talk it out. | |
| Okay. | |
| That's great advice for me. | |
| Just talk about it. | |
| What do you want me to do? | |
| I would make a terrible therapist. | |
| Maybe we should chug on over to Mamby Pamby land where maybe we can find some self-confidence for you, you jackwagon! | |
| Okay, one more here. | |
| This says, um... | |
| I feel that my girlfriend can be the perfect future wife, but I'm afraid that I met her too early in life. | |
| I've been with her for four years since I was 15. | |
| She was my first real relationship. | |
| She's the one I lost my virginity to. | |
| We've had our ups and downs, but everything right now is going great. | |
| She's really mature for her age, and that's why I think she'd be a good wife. | |
| My problem is that I don't know if I want to spend my whole life having only been with one woman. | |
| She's the only one I've ever had sex with, and I fear that my romantic and sex life will become boring due to the lack of diversity. | |
| I don't even know if sex is that great, since I don't have any other references. | |
| Adding to that, there's a few girls that are interested in me, and sometimes when I think about it, I find myself wanting to be with them. | |
| So basically, I want to live my youth and have a few experiences with different women, but I don't know if I can leave my girlfriend, because I don't know if I'll be able to find a wife as good as her in the future. | |
| Okay. | |
| So she could be the perfect wife, but you want to find someone who is, what, more perfect? | |
| You want references? | |
| What is this, a job search? | |
| You want to be able to compare her to other women? | |
| Why? | |
| For what reason? | |
| No, you gotta grow up, son. | |
| This isn't even a grass is greener on the other side situation. | |
| Because you don't think the grass is greener, as you admit. | |
| You just think that it might be different. | |
| It's different grass, and you want different grass for the sake of difference. | |
| Grass? | |
| Different for difference's sake. | |
| Or diversity as you put it. | |
| You know what this is like? | |
| I'll tell you what this is like. | |
| This is like when you're walking through an airport and there's a Potbelly sandwich shop right there, but you say, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| I'm not going to get the sandwich there, even though I know it's delicious. | |
| I'm going to keep walking, see if I find something better. | |
| Maybe there'll be something better at my gate. | |
| And then you get to your gate and all there is, is like a kiosk with a refrigerator and some soggy sandwiches and saran wrap and maybe a cup of like macaroni salad or something. | |
| And, um, but it's too late to go back to the Potbelly. | |
| Come to think of it, this analogy is not very good. | |
| So let's just take that as advice on how to handle airports and where to find food. | |
| As for relationships, when you find the person who you know would make a good and devoted and loving spouse, you've won. | |
| You've completed the game. | |
| Congratulations. | |
| That's the objective. | |
| You're there. | |
| No need to keep looking. | |
| Continuing to date and sleep around and whatever, none of that is going to help you in the long run. | |
| What you're practicing then is just basically disloyalty, heartbreak, breakups. | |
| That's the experience you'll be getting. | |
| And that's the experience you're going to bring into your marriage when eventually you do go down that road, a road that you could have walked years before. | |
| Don't make that mistake, young man. | |
| And take what is right in front of you. | |
| And that is my fatherly lecture for the day. | |
| I don't know if any of this advice will be useful to any of you, except for the airport bit. | |
| That is really important. | |
| When you see the pot bellies, go for it. |
