FAQ:
Who are you and what is your name?
My name is My View My Opinion (MVMO) & I am a Podcaster, on KZbin. Due to safety concerns on the internet, I do not share my personal information anymore and I ask that others respect this. Also, I'm against the cult of personality & the promotion of self. I have no desire to "make a name" for myself. That's odd in this day & time I know, because most strive for this. Too many folks make themselves the center of attention instead of helping others first & allowing the information they share to be the focus of folks attention. Many crave applause, acceptance, & "fans & followers". I believe in letting the information take center stage.
Why don't you show your face?
My KZbin channel is host to my podcast. However, I do make on camera appearances from time to time & have many times in the past- as this is how my channel started, with me on camera talking about whatever. And for those who always ask, yes, I am a black woman, LOL!!!!
What is this, where are the pictures or videos?
The MVMO Podcast is a talk radio program. Generally speaking , there aren't any pictures or vids. It is made for busy professionals like the host. To have the best listening experience, place your device down and multi-task or minimize the podcast on your cell and continue doing whatever you need to do as you have the host's voice going in the background. Your hands and eyes are free!
Where else can I find your podcast?
My podcast is only available on KZbin. I use Spreaker, a free podcast recording app to record, but I do not have an active podcast on their site. If you hear my podcast anywhere other than youtube, feel free to let me know as it is not me but someone stealing my content.
How can I send in a request?
You can drop a topic request in the comment section under any podcast here on KZbin, with the word REQUEST. If your comment doesn't have the word REQUEST then it more than likely will go unseen. Sometimes I will ask what is popping that we all want to discuss via a post on our community tab. No links, be specific, and most importantly, be sure to share enough detail about your request that I will have no problems finding what is being asked about.
How can I contact you?
I no longer display my business email due to abuse of it. At this time, the only way to contact me is directly in my comment section.

This is spot on, you could tell he enjoyed degrading people. Most times he didn't even allow people to explain themselves or listen to their stories. He made up his own assumptions about them and spit fire at them based on his own biases. I can only imagine how it was like being his punching bag at home. I hope she finally gets some peace.

[@rodneykoerber4970]

I used to watch his show but stopped watching. I found him to be way too arrogant and braggadocious.

[@urmamasmamasmama]

I’m not surprised about the divorce. Judge Mathis seems to be an irritable, ornery, and exhausting man!

[@librasoul1705]

🎯 indeed!!! I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@SharonBrown-yn6fz]

Actually if you haven’t watched Wendy Williams interview with him he lost his cookies and was really telling her off as a person and as a woman. Watch it if you can. Also I used to like him thinking he was against DV ect but now I am not so sure. Verbal is just as bad if not worse and if he talked to Wendy with such disrespect I can imagine how he talks to Linda. Apple never falls far from the tree. Wicked man. He told her to go to church. I think he needs to go to church and keep his lousy mouth shut. He is terrible

[@But_It_Is_What_It_Is]

All of that 😂

[@urmamasmamasmama]

@@SharonBrown-yn6fz I remember the Wendy Williams interview. He was and still is a nasty man.

[@tintan21]

I sometimes felt that Judge Mathis and Judge Joe Brown were competing with Judge Judy to see who could be the nastiest to people on their shows.

[@littlestrongbear51]

I was done with Matthis after I saw how he treated a young lady who had given her testimony of how she had changed from an aggressive and violent person and opted to use the court process rather than revert to her old ways. He was abusive and demeaning to that young lady. I knew she had truly changed after how she took it and left after the abuse as a lady. BUT I was done. Never watched again.

[@blackhannahofficial]

I wish MORE men understood the impact of How they talk to their women. We are heavily effected, by the man we love words. If mental or emotional abuse was present, then... In my book, she's justified in leaving. EVERYBODY has a breaking point.

[@Ceemoore3000]

Linda is a beautiful woman. I feel she must've been fed up and after 39 year married and together longer than that. I wish them both well as Greg didn't look well to me on their reality show. He looked frail.

[@marietaylor5174]

She's tired and wants peace.

[@But_It_Is_What_It_Is]

When he started calling people “crackheads” over and over I watched him less. Everyone in his courtroom became a victim of his comedy club. He would get so angry when someone would flip his joke and embarrassed him😂

[@Wall0fCatz]

I personally know a woman who ended the marriage after 40 years. The whole marriage was not happy. He married her out of convenience not love

[@Phyllis17]

Listen ppl! Ms. MVMO dropped so many gems, but the one that stood out for me is "there's a difference between a person's works and their fruits". Your skillful analysis of this topic was well done.

[@smoothwill]

Judge Judy is in the same boat

[@shadymccoy7]

Judge Mathis often reminded me of Judge Judy.

[@MochaDelight00]

​@shadymccoy7 Judge Judy and, Joe brown, are harsh putting their foot . Judge Mathis was to liberal to me.

[@MsMartyP2049]

I just read the reason Linda filed is because of irreconcilable differences. He works too much, he has neglected the relationship and has promised her that he would slow down and they would travel the world 🌎. I think Judge Mathis enjoys working. She wants to be valued.

[@sincereone2388]

Some men do not age gracefully and I can see him being insufferable. Like the Archie Bunker/Edith dynamic, that is a suffocating way to live.

[@paulachinn6306]

I remember my Aunt telling me this about Judge Mathis after she meeting him. He flirted with her and he was still married. After that I saw him differently, but I still think he has done alot for the Black community. Praying his wife will find happiness..

[@mvmochannel]

Fits perfectly, not surprised at all. Had your relative been down, he would've slept with her.

[@ChocoBeauty8]

He is always flirting, and after he gets fresh with the women, he brings up his wife.

[@l065]

Judge Mathis started to get very mean spirited and I stopped watching!

[@phyhau4218]

Im a licensed therapist and Im changing my job due to compassion fatigue its a real thing for those in the mental health field because we are mental health first responders.

[@JustBree716]

Mathis was so mean to an ex boyfriend of mines who came on the show. And im no snowflake but it was overkill. Im still embarrassed by that episode

[@sylviaruth5008]

For 38 yrs 9 mo 14 days…, I remained with my husband until death did us part. My husband liked Judge Mathis. I didn’t. Why? Because Greg Mathis and my husband’s personality was very much so the same in many ways. It was a familiar spirit that I was use to dealing with. I saw clean through him. I always have known.

[@mymiracle79]

Me too!!

[@Debra-OK1955]

Peace is what really matters to me - 68 yo

[@johnathancooper4817]

Considering his background and how he grew up, he has a lot of unresolved trauma in his life. Linda’s parents took him when he had nowhere to go during his college break.

[@gail1436]

I believe he spat on the valet who brought his Rolls Royce back late and then he paid him off real quick because he could prove it with dna

[@MarloBoykins]

I remember that story. That is what I was thinking about. Lawyers are usually very arrogant as a whole.

[@Butterflies0123DKB]

Yes, yes, and yes!! I 100% agree. My husband and I were watching his show last year, and I said to him he sure has gotten radical and meaner in his old age. I cringed, watching him.

[@neicycombs3533]

Thanks, I am so happy you addressed this 😘

[@reginayfavors]

I could not watch Judge Joe Brown and Greg Mathis.

[@claricefranklin3722]

Spot on!…I can just see Linda singing Whitney Houston’s song, “It’s not right, but it’s okay. I rather be alone than unhappy. I’m gonna make it any way.”

[@leslieallen5704]

Public success does not equal private success...I pray Linda HEAL and find herself again from his abusiveness, I've been there! You must value your own self, and find PEACE, and set BOUNDARIES ❤️🎯.

[@marymyatt3004]

HALF OF HER LIFE MARRIED TO JUDGE GREG!!!!! THAT IS ALOT!!!! 🆗

[@thatgirlcocoa]

I was in a verbally and emotionally abusive marriage . Everyone at church thought he was so great, but he was horrible to me in private. It took a good amount of therapy to heal from that toxic situation. So glad, I’m out and thriving 🙌🏾

[@Tephiffany]

20:40 same reason why I couldn't watch/listen to Judge Judy!

[@breakthecycle1971]

I agree. Many women will make great sacrifices for their family. Good for her! She still has her whole life ahead of her.

[@michelleMMMMM]

I never liked what I call "Circus TV" Mathis, Jerry Springer, Steve Wilko ect.. I've watched all those shows at least a few times but just couldn't get into it. I wish Mrs. Mathis the best experiences on the rest of her before and after divorce journey. I hope she gets the happiest ending ever and that if Mr Mathis was abusive to her in some way that he will be accountable and makes amends w/her before or after they have gone their separate ways.

[@jennifermorgan4527]

You are very balanced in your view / opinion. I enjoy listening to you

[@marcirobins5144]

The divorce filing. That has surely shaken him and his ego.

[@jtag9807]

I was right there with you when you spoke about the long-term effects of verbal abuse contributing to self esteem issues. Absolutely!

[@johnathancooper4817]

Greg Mathis is why we now have these judge shows with people who never went law school like Judge Steve Harvey.

[@ChocoBeauty8]

Judge Mathis was a practicing attorney and a former judge. Star Jones also holds a law degree, as do most of the judges who appeared on Court TV. Steve Harvey, on the other hand, did not complete college.

[@johnathancooper4817]

@@ChocoBeauty8 that wasn’t the point. I’m aware of the other TV judges that went to law school. I was talking mainly about Steve Harvey and Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams.

[@sparker7768]

[@zetticamitchell9149]

I agree, I think she was verbally abused too because of the way he treats his guests on his show! I could never watch his show either for that reason.

[@jtd55]

(Husbands): Your wife BECOMES the words you SPEAK upon her. She became a shadow of her former self. She doesn’t recognize the woman that she sees in the mirror. You can thrive after a divorce. She can and will begin to LOVE herself again. Being tired, unhappy, unsee, unheard and disrespected and disregarded keeps you down. Her BEST self will ARISE. 🙏🏾 She’s ready to show up for Herself (internally).

[@queenlj1490]

Word is he promised that he would cutback on working so they could spend more time together she's tired of waiting. If he wants to be to be with her maybe this will be a wake up for him

[@AJ-gd1ww]

I had to stop watching him too, years ago.

[@briannayu]

Love this! In depth & makes a ton of sense. Im happy for her for choosing herself

[@johnathancooper4817]

I stopped watching him because I realized it was about entertainment than education. Judge Judy might be meaner but she cites a lot of case law and it inspired me to go to law school...but then I realized law school wasn’t for me.

[@CarlaPowell]

The rumor is he has had a baby outside his marriage. That would be more than enough reason to end a 39-year marriage among other things.

[@mimap275]

I wonder how many other people r just in marriages for long and not really happy , 🤔wat a waste of time and life

[@BellaKayeLLard]

I agree! There was a clip of a video of Judge Mathis that went viral. It was a case in which a man and his wife had taken in the wife's nephew. He was very degrading, rude, and ugly with that man/uncle. It was something about that video that made me think Judge Mathis just hated the "father" the man/uncle was "supposed" to be to the child.

[@anarr7411]

He probably shamed her when she spoke. Seems fame went to his head, and he saw her a less than.

[@nicolesaulsberry6973]

I muss Judge Joe Wapner back in the day. The courtroom decorum was very professional. No sensationalism at all.

[@sparker7768]

[@brandyjones3476]

I was never comfortable watching his! Your analysis of his TV persona matching his home like it spot on!

[@alyciaadams3616]

I stopped watching Judge Mathis several years ago. I thought it was just my personal perception that his demeanor had changed. He seems extremely moody, disrespectful and mercurial in his rulings. It is too difficult to watch.

[@deborahbrown1753]

In this case Greg Mathis and his wife divorce news is sad yet one never know if he's the real bad guy sometimes what we outwardly might see and here from him might not be that way, at home with his wife on the other hand, it could be the other way around his wife could be very hard to live with. We only see how he is on tv. always keep in mind he's a real judge, with actual real cases not that reality court that's on tv. big difference Linda could be a very spoiled controlling woman, and she wants more from him, like walking away from his courtroom, a black woman and a black man letting go of something that they built from the ground up isn't the same, and not to mention, he have 2 daughters and 2 sons in the same line of work, so being a professional proud black father leading by example is a blessing Praying the best for their entire family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

MVMO, Mariah Carey’s mother and sister died on the same day in recent days. I have heard some people downing Mariah for not reconciling with her sister before she died. I thought about one of your videos where you discussed the toxic culture of forcing folks to forgive and forget (especially the forgetting part) people who are still doing their dirt.

[@StacieJoyner]

It sounds like she lost herself through supporting him . I remember that show when she mentioned public speaking and mentioned her reasons why. Some people seem to think he is on drugs. I have noticed over the years he has been argumentative and you cantell has a temper. . I also find it interesting also that as a teacher she had built up a sense of self esteem and now she seems so unhappy. I also found from the reality show he is extermely immature and his wife is on another level.
