If you're in a long term relationship and you get a dog together and you break up — kill the dog 😱
Summary
A straphanger delivers one of the show's most controversial takes yet: if you and your partner split up, you should put down your shared dog rather than subject it to custody arrangements. Kareem pushes back hard, comparing it to killing kids after a divorce. The rider doubles down, insisting it's immoral to waste time shuttling dogs back and forth between households and claiming the same logic applies to himself since his parents have been married for 30 years. The debate gets heated. Kareem's not having it. The conversation ends awkwardly as the guest tries to backpedal on their goodbye.

So what's your take? If you're in a long-term relationship and you get a dog together and then you guys break up—kill the dog? 100%? Disagree. That is crazy. Butcher, slaughter it?
No, I'm just saying like put it down, like humanely. It's immoral to put your dog through a divorce. I think that's fine. You don't kill kids if you get a divorce.
Well, you should? You think it's more inhumane to share custody of a dog than to blow its brains out like Old Yeller behind the shed? We can't be wasting our time shuttling dogs back and forth. And you think all breeds? Even like a cute little French Bulldog, a harmless little cute little creature?
Listen, I think there's a debate to be made for any living being, myself included. I'm saying that 'cause like my parents have been married for 30 years and if they got divorced today I'd be like, "You can kill me." I'm going to continue to disagree with us day. Okay, have a good day.
No, like, have—no, no, no. Just don't worry about it.
