=== Clearing Misinformation (03:48) ===

[00:00:00]  Okay, today we are really changing the game.
[00:00:02]  We're doing something innovative and different.
[00:00:05]  We're gonna do a video.
[00:00:06]  You've never seen a video like this before.
[00:00:07]  I had this idea where we'd do a video where I answer the Internet's most searched questions about me.
[00:00:13]  It's never been done before.
[00:00:14]  And the thing I like about it is that it's not in the least bit narcissistic or self-referential at all.
[00:00:19]  I also like to think it's a chance to clear up some misinformation because when you're famous, in other words, there's a lot of wrong information about you on there.
[00:00:26]  So every day you go on the internet and you find another fact about you that isn't correct.
[00:00:30]  So this is a chance to clear all that up.
[00:00:32]  And I think it's going to be a handy sort of reference for people who are wondering about any biographical information about me.
[00:00:38]  They can just go to this video and here it is for you laid out in a handy way.
[00:00:48]  Okay.

[00:01:16]  Oh, the movie Elf.
[00:01:17]  OK, so I see what we're doing here.
[00:01:18]  We are getting questions for me and for the other Matt Walsh, because there's a there's a second Matt Walsh out there, actually.
[00:01:25]  And so I guess we're going to get some of his questions, too.
[00:01:27]  And, you know, something interesting has happened, because when I first came on the scene, the other Matt Walsh was like the way more famous Matt Walsh.
[00:01:34]  And so if you want to Google all the Matt Walsh information was about that Matt Walsh.
[00:01:38]  And now it's kind of flipped.
[00:01:39]  And I think I've sort of Subsumed.
[00:01:44]  I've absorbed all the other Matt Walsh's.
[00:01:48]  Doesn't even sound right.
[00:01:49]  I just said I was straight, so... Anyway.

[00:07:05]  So if you go and you look up those questions before I just gave you the real information, there are like websites that will give you what they claim are the correct information about Matt Walsh.
[00:07:14]  And I guess I kind of ruined this last part of the video because the funny thing with the internet facts is that they aren't true.
[00:07:20]  But then I just said a bunch of bulls**t, so I trampled over that punchline by not seriously answering any of the questions.
[00:07:28]  So are we even still going to do this?

[00:08:12]  How would they claim to know that?
[00:08:14]  So they know... What do you mean, on party?

[00:09:01]  And they'll pay you huge money.
[00:09:04]  Anytime you hear someone doing an interview on like the, you know, AM 620 as you're driving down the road, that is someone getting paid millions for that.
[00:09:15]  Matt Walsh's home address, I didn't know I could read this.
[00:09:18]  They have my home address.
[00:09:20]  It's 6017 Cirrus Street, San Diego, 92110.
[00:09:23]  I feel sorry for whoever lives there.
[00:09:27]  Because it's me.
