0:00 I wonder what the chats are like in Roblox do they get pretty wild can you hear people in Roblox dude I bet it's wild there right all I'm saying if it's anything Call of Duty the people that are like talking to you they're always kids that are just Ming you out they always got a smoke detector beep in the [Music] background there's a hot debate that is almost always roaring and raging around and it is always about whether it's fed up or not I said f up or not to have kids on social media without their permission oh like POS them cuz like is rough if you raised them with a camera in the house they never consent to it I believe children are like live stock they're your property until 18 that's what I think and then at 18 now they can own

0:52 property yeah and they can go complain about it and all sh but guess what but prior to that it's like earn your keep yeah I think also like are you a public figure because if you're like on social media because you use the app but it's like just your community of friends and family that follow you or you have a private account it's like I no I'm I'm talking about people are people who are b███████ about this stuff are like complaining about influencers Ming every ████ that's about this stuff I wish they had Ryan's toys as their kid and you make 30 mil a year and see what the you do you bit yeah that's right yeah Ryan toys could buy Space Station that be tired if ta made 30 million a year yeah but then what if ta then what if what if ta you know goes to University and some some blue-haired person gets in his ear and then he's coming home to for Christmas

1:43 time and he's like I think you guys kind of exploited me actually a little bit yeah it's like well how do you think you had a roof over here shut the ████ up yeah that's right I have been like you know who else was exploited Shirley Temple she's a legend and you are too now Annie you're welcome bam household name forever pay me back yeah d m forever all the girlfriends you got all that that was because of me dude there's more stuff coming out about moli and how his dad was like ████ over his ████ really yeah that was always financially that was the whole thing yeah yeah he had no money CU he was making like 8 mil a ████ movie or some ████ back then as a kid in the '90s my question is what's the difference between that and back in the day when you ████ had kids to pull potatoes out of your garden

2:33 that's true that's what I'm saying put that ████ to work everybody nowadays is like we got to preserve childhood that is a New Concept preserving childhood yeah 100 years ago a kid's in a coal mine getting black lung ████ hell yeah yeah yeah they they're pulling lithium out of the walls like we didn't know what we're going to do with this for another hundred years back in the day when you saw kids in overalls That was cuz they were working yeah he's working he gets black then he goes up he goes up from the elevator smokes a cigarette with his dad and that Bo got like that flashlight on his head too he's 9 years old yeah that's a cool ass kid is the whole point to not have to compare to like a 100 years ago like no cuz that was real work this ain't ████ you got a ████ camera in your face and you're holding up what oh oh hey try Nature's Basket or some ████ yeah so out of genuine curiosity what is a um basket what are like the long-term

3:25 negatives that like kids have been cuz I mean we've only had social media for like half a generation right don't know I feel like there's going to be a ████ ton cuz I'm always looking at like these um content creators that are just specific to kids channels and all you see is kids doing kid ████ like they're putting on little kid skits and ████ um like who's protecting these kids right like who's who's like like now we have laws in Hollywood that like you're supposed to have a break and like the unions the unions um but like these kids we don't know what abuse is going on behind the scenes cuz it's such an independent thing and not to be like 12 hours not to be pessimistic but like you know remember even like that Nickelodeon ████ just came out too it's like it's going to take a generation before like we see the repercussions but then at the same time like 100 years ago with the black lung like isn't an ex extreme version of this

4:17 always going to happen like you you put rules in place so you're saying just let it happen just let it happen I'm saying I'm saying like no matter what it's going to uh happen in extreme we don't know until we know yeah so it's like how can you overgeneralize or hate on an entire culture without knowing it's hard to regulate right cuz you don't know who's being exploited and you don't know who's just doing it as a fun family like project and yeah you don't know people's intent either until the ████ comes out and you're like oh that was some abusive ████ cuz there are dads that plant a ton of potatoes for the kids to pull them out because he's literally he doesn't need potatoes and he's just doing Mr Miyagi then there's other people that are straight up exploiting the kid and he's supposed to pull the potatoes but then now he has kids pulling the potatoes and he's reporting to his boss that he's the one doing it so it's like the same actions but the intent is way

5:09 off so I don't know I really think it probably just depends on the intent of and the relationship between the kid and the parents is what's going to dictate the kind of trauma which means that they'll you can never overgeneralize on an idea because everybody's going to have their own situation regardless which means you can't make rules you know what I mean that fully encapsulate an entire unless it's fully breaking the law that's the only time right and even then what about in the scope of like public shaming right which is obviously what everyone just does anyway um is it is that is it a good point to just go like hey I think it's ████ up you guys are like filming your kid like they don't they don't really know that they're what the well what are they doing on the on the on content say they're in Vlogs or some ████ yeah I think I think I think that's fine if it's just like family Vlogs or whatever it just depends on movie yeah it's like

6:02 yeah but if it's like you're cracking the Whip and you're like work ████ kid and you like be happy on camera ████ you know that's a different I think when there's yeah when there's like assumptions I think that's kind of ████ up but there was that one like Channel were like reviewing oh with the mom I forgot what it was but they like somehow left a snippet or you hear it in the back and then they do talk to the kid like that or like let's say over the course of time you see this kid like lose weight all the time because are not getting fed because not I think when you have like objective evidence cuz I also do think on the other side where it is also the same annoying ████ that are complaining online that do help save lives at sometimes too sometimes they're right sometimes yeah sometimes they most of the time they're wrong but sometimes they are right so it's like yeah like sometimes they see something and they're like that looks like abuse I'm going to

6:52 investigate I'm going to put my nose where doesn't belong yeah exactly I would argue that it's more harmful for kids to have access to social media and play around with it versus being recorded by parents they don't have an account they don't have a phone and then it's just happening right so like cuz they don't even know that they exist online they don't they can't read the comments so I don't know I I but I do think the more harmful part is them consuming the content yeah and also just on the other side of that too just as much as like people sometimes are right it's like like if we're going to talk about putting rules or like the idea of that culture it's like the other side of that culture where people can go online and just call people out or like get into somebody else's business on their family and how they run like their social media

7:43 or their kids or whatnot it's like you should have your uh very communist Chinese social score as well cuz if you like make 10 accusations and nine of them are wrong it's like you should also know like a Yelp review like you're wrong 90% of the time so you know what I'm saying because like when you get into other people's business especially online and you do social shaming and ████ it's like like that that is a that gets into people's ████ family problems like the Allison case too you know what I mean everybody just go in hand real quick and you don't know what a full story is until a full story comes out but everybody can go online real quick and say what their their piece is I mean I would have make a blanket rule as to like no young people can be on social media until they're like 18 yeah because then it's I don't know that's also weird yeah that is weird would you put a kid on social

8:33 media you might have a kid soon like like how young are they I think if they're like from baby moving on like I think if I'm like fully taking care of like they're 100% dependent on me type stuff then I don't care if they're on social media like in my social media but I'm not using it to like sell kid products or like you know what I mean my so you start getting calls about it but if I'm making hell of money then I'm like hey look 12% of my profit went to this kid's college fund 88% went to my my gambling problem you have to gamble transparent if I'm transparent it's different cuz people respect transparency you know what I mean it doesn't matter what the actual thing is people just respect the transparency okay 12% is pretty generous I think I think so $60 trap hand but even then Case by case like it really just ████ depends like like Joe said he's hella

9:23 right like I'm way more concerned about the kid just consuming social media all the time that s███'s scary that's a totally different thing do about that um so for us taica can only watch stuff when we're there okay so he's not really watching anything alone when it comes to YouTube he's only watching kids YouTube but again we have to be yeah he doesn't have full access to all apps and stuff uh he he doesn't have the chat options at all um cuz he plays Roblox a lot and then that does have a chat option so we turn all of that ████ off I have talked to him about um you know I'm like anyone online that talks to you cuz I mean I don't know I might not be able to catch everything I'm like you don't give them any information they're not your friends even though they say they're six cuz he's six right like he's really gullible so he's going to believe everything um like these are all going to be bad people I might be doing something wrong here by saying everyone's out to ████ get you I'm like but everyone's out to

11:04 sure they have like a like a regulator on there right you can't say certain curse words I don't know can you hear people in Roblox dude I bet it's wild there right all I'm saying if it's anything Call of Duty the people that are like talking to you they're always kids that are just cussing you out they always got a smoke detector beep in the background best ████ dudey old dogs barking you hear someone's got a fan blowing in the hey th000 times you don't even know what they're talking about baby crying League of Legends is like I think one of the most toxic communities like ever in like the history of gaming like the stuff that people say and do in those spaces like yeah you never want your kids to be chatting as a grown adult you'll go home crying man like it's crazy yeah I wonder what put you in your head yeah so clearly with us we don't mind putting Tao online but now he's coming to the age where sometimes he's not so him he's a character so he

11:56 likes when the camera's on him or he'll even say like hey Mom get this um it can also be something that he was already born into that he's conditioned now to like like and accept who knows um has you ever said get this and then you guys film it and you're like no it's not most of the time he had he always this was eating Sharma the other day and he like wanted me to take a picture of it and I was like all right so I was like uh but there are times too if he's having a bad day where he's like I don't want to be on camera and we're like all right cool got it you know or if like we're talking about something we like hey ta say what you just told us he's like I don't want to share that we're like all right cool moving on Jo would be like get your ass to back to work you see this bed you think it ████ pays itself get back to work or if you don't then hold the ████ camera yeah all the angles are all l oh I can't wait for

12:47 new employees yeah yeah but there are people like some of our our friends that are like they do um conceal their kids face or they only put things up you know where it's like the profile of the kid but they never fully show the kid's face and I'm like oh that's cool like I get it like a privacy issue or they're like oh they're now at the age where they're going to school like a public school and you know someone has gone up to them and been like hey so and so I know your parents I follow your parents you know and for them they're like oh ████ that's really scary so I'm like okay I get it um I don't we're pretty chill when it comes to ████ like that that's cool yep nope how do you feel about a B I guess the same and I also feel like there's a lot of moving Parts like when we first put taica on social media media the nature of social media was a certain way and then 7 years later it also evolves so when we first got on in when all of

13:38 us got on Instagram it felt like a very um I don't want to say honest cuz the right not I guess genuine an authentic platform we we're literally showing like hey I'm going to go to Blood Souls barbecue you know and people are like it's just people sharing their lives and then now you have fully curated Pages branded pages so it's kind of just like YouTube where you went through that Evolution where the original creators on YouTube it felt very authentic and then now you have people like purposely creating things and they have marketing campaigns and all that stuff so it feels different so that's kind of re also one of the reasons why we stopped posting on ta's page because in the beginning when we made his page it was like social media felt like this and then we felt like it evolved in a way where it was kind of different and then yeah draft King sponsorship for a bit Yeah and in the in the beginning we actually got a bunch of uh brand deals

14:30 for taica that we actually turned down because we were like you know what like we do want to keep this as pure as possible and in the minute you you know you throw money into it like then it's like oh this not he's not up for it right now but then Pampers ████ said like the send us money yeah that s███'s weird it just starts twisting and and like biasing things in a weird way so we're like let's just keep all of that out of it we'll keep it the way we want it which is just sharing things and kind of treating it as like his own little journal and we're documenting important parts of his life and that's just kind of how we've always viewed it even with our Vlogs like we don't we don't edit it in a way that monetizes really well if we don't you know like we're not like professional about it we just kind of what what is this library of videos that we can make that when we look back 20 years uh later like oh cool there's some really cool memories so that's kind of

15:21 our intent and I think that's how he also Aus it to like Hey we're in New York check it out and and he'll talk about his experience in New York yeah we don't do like multiple tis like ████ you said it wrong ████ say it again you know it's like one take can be cuter can it be cuter in this yeah yeah ████ look in the camera bro like it's never I would give anything for people to go to that page right now and and ta's like what's up it's ta smash the ████ light let's go he would say ████ like that well cuz that's all he's consuming right now when he's watching all these other ones so he would say ████ like that I do know some some people some parents as well that like blur out the kids' faces or don't post and stuff like that like how do you guys feel about that and usually their concerns come from like you know after you watch those documentaries yeah exactly ████ scanning every digital version of your kids face so that they can replicate it via Ai and do all these weird things and ████ like yeah I mean that's what I was saying we have friends that do that I mean that's them well I don't really care for a ████ like that well if you have friends like do that do you guys

16:11 take group pictures and they'll be like oh can you not post that no cuz then we're we're pretty aware that they don't like it so we just already know not to I wouldn't even take a group picture with their kid in it yeah yeah if they're if they're against it we did have cuz I know I know it's like eating with a vegetarian I'm like oh I just won't even take you to a steakhous that's weird so something that did happen was um so he used to go to a private school and then uh it was guard gated so in order to get into this private school you need to have like a special pass that they scan it has like a barcode um and we did show that off on a vlog one time we're like ah ████ this is no good so then all we did was just change the pass and then that was it nice but he knows like if anyone like we talk to him about safety all the ████ time so we're like if someone says hey I know your parents or whatever I'm like if I never told you that this person's going to come up to you or talk to you I'm like you do not talk to any strangers it's also very

17:02 helpful being in a second amendment friendly State yes cuz California cuz if people ta pulls out his guns and stuff cuz yeah if people ████ around then taica is going to open his ████ Sonic the Hedgehog backpack and there's a fully automatic weapon in there it's legal [Laughter] Hallelujah he's going to take those ████ glasses that they're using where it goes like this yep that one yep yeah I've been thinking about monetizing my dogs um you have their permission no I don't need their permission dude I'm just going to run a page for them try to get some ads try to maybe do get some dog sponsorship when Nina was doing influencer stuff and we got an influencer deal uh through meric for our cats I was like dude that saved me so much on ████ food for like like half a year got a deal for we had a brand

17:53 deal for cats and it was awesome how come you don't continue yeah why'd you stop she's cuz she started doing like her regular their actual career stuff and stop doing the influencer stuff and I like damn it but she makes more money but I'm like I have to pay for the cat food again like hey since you have a real job can you pay for the cat food or you can post more pictures yeah either or dude cat food ain't ████ the litters where they ████ you the litter oh yeah they ████ you so good on the litter expensive $25 a they want why don't you just open the window and they can go outside and then they come back in like a doggy door they got a kitty door my K are too stupid they wouldn't they wouldn't come back oh they're too now trust them no kitty windows we should set up a play dat for our cats we shut down do you think they'll like each others love it they would be crazy I never seen two stranger cats meet crazy cuz they territorial is fun they

18:43 would absolutely hate it but I love the idea of it of that maybe you should go to a neutral ground I like when I watch cats fight and you just see the ████ you see like a ball and the ████ furge just flying out I'm like what the ████ Gio just thinks it's all a cartoon I guess I saw I I like how yeah they're fighting in the ball and then one of them comes out of the ball and pulls the other one back into the ball and then they're isn't that how it happens all the time it's exactly like that yeah it's it's exactly like that thanks J
