0:00 All right, opinion piece here. The UK right now is implementing a ban that prevents children under 16 from using algorithmdriven social media platforms, effectively raising operational age limit. All right, so that applies to Tik Tok, IG, Snapchat, Facebook, X. No, no, no, no, no censorship. I am against this ████ I don't think the government should be trying to police what we see. But it's algorithm driven. >> What that mean? That means that means the social media platforms are in a sense policing what we see. They're they're they're letting things like algorithms dictates what our feed thinks we want to see and then it perpetuates more of the thing we want to see. >> So when I'm 14 I'll see titties all day and then it's just going to keep showing me titties. >> Do you think from a parents perspective
0:50 that's a good thing? >> I think we should raise it to 18. [laughter] >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. >> Maybe even 25. You think that we should protect children from social media? Well, you got a child, so I don't know. Is that >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> I think we need to protect not only children. I think we need to protect people, but I also don't want to turn communist. So, that's the fine line that's difficult. >> But what about all them? Like, you guys been watching us. We were We pride ourselves on being the best R-rated family show. We were doing inappropriate ████ at the time, meaning like now it's like every day everyone's cussing, right? But I would say that back then what was considered hardcore things that we were doing, people would be like, "Why are you showing your kids this stuff?" All of these ████ grew up on it, right? Tell me. You guys got to back me up in the comments cuz you you could you could be like, "I was 12
1:41 years old. I was 12 years old when I was watching JK. I was 9 years old. I hear so many stories like that and they turned out great." >> But I think we're honor >> turned out great is a gangster generalization. I love that though. No, we're we're honorable though and we're honest and I don't think we ever try to like uh you know like all the YouTubers back in the day, the like the most squeaky clean ones and then backstage you're like doing coke or whatever. >> They got scandals. >> Yeah. We've always been honest with our stuff. So I feel like Yeah. You guys talk about your drug days, but they're behind you. >> Yeah. Where you actually don't do them anymore. It's boring that over here. >> I think that's I think >> Joe said he did crack once. >> See, I loved it, too. [laughter] That's the wrong message. >> He came back from it, though. He came back from >> I ain't going to do it no more. >> The difference is you guys were adults. >> Yeah. >> The conversation is for the, you know, underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. the
2:32 one where we're still having arguments today about should people be tried as adults because >> but even the developed Cortex [laughter] Nike Cortezes or >> even those guys those guys you ever see people they just ████ they're locked into their phone for like a whole ████ hour. It's like the go-to thing now. You go to a doctor's office, people are so ████ addicted. They go there nothing to do. They're like immediately go for the phone. I'm guilty of it. And it's just like then you have this whole echo chamber just reinforcing your thoughts. So if it's already that powerful of a drug, so to speak, like a digital drug, >> it's ruining our country. >> Imagine [laughter] a kid. >> It's It's too powerful. >> I think I also think we should put an age limit at 18 and an age limit at 60 years old, too, [laughter] cuz I got to get my parents off social media, brother. My mom is leaving comments on
3:22 stuff. >> I feel like parents get to wild out, bro. >> No, I don't know. cuz then they start falling for AI ████ They fall for all kinds of ████ >> And bro, it's bad. Like, it's almost And they have the ability to buy things. They have they have they they have more power in their hand. So, it's like the more I can get older people off social cuz honestly, >> are you speaking from very personal experience right now? >> Well, it's it's from my I'm I'm thinking of my mom on just on Instagram just alone. I'm not thinking about anything else. >> Did she buy some ████ Cuz you know, you can see my your parents on Instagram and you see their activity and ████ >> You can see what they like. >> I don't like that she interacts with AI videos. I don't like that she's leaving comments. Okay. And I don't like Yeah, she's falling for fake show. >> Bro, seeing your mom leave a comment on an AI video would be hilarious. >> I'll be like, "What are you doing, ma?"
4:12 And I'd be like, "Ma, stop. Stop engaging with this. This is This is slop. Okay, we can't have any of this. Get off your phone." I tell her this all the time. We got to get off our ████ phone. What I miss is people like our parents' age going like this. >> Yeah. >> Just stick to the ████ newspaper and don't get ████ absorbed into all this ████ AI. >> This is our ████ honestly. Hey, cuz there's a whole movement of people too like and I think people our age who understand what a time suck social media is. And when you're trying to get things done in life and you have social media on your hands, it immediately just becomes a total distraction if you're not using it for work, if you're doom scrolling and ████ like that, you know? >> So, I think there's so many people that are just like, "Yo, drop the phones immediately >> as best you can. Read a ████ book.
5:03 Don't read don't read uh your books on your phone. Like, just try to do as many things as you can to detach yourself from your phones." And I'm like, "Yeah, bro. I'm starting to really go into that camp where I'm like, I might just get a ████ flip phone next. I might go full crazy, dude. >> The uh Apple iPhone is supposed to be a flip phone next. >> Is it for real? >> Double screen. >> All right, I'll scroll like this. >> Take all my apps. I can watch all my movies on my apps, >> brother. It's going to be It's going to be lit. It's going to be lit. >> What happened to the ████ Apple glasses? They were >> the Vision Pro. >> Yeah, everyone wanted them and >> they slowed down with it. The de at the end of the day, if you don't have a developer or community and it's too out of price for like consumers to actually pick it up, >> this was like 5Gs, right? >> Momentum minimum was like 3,000 something. Yeah. >> And you look all gay in your own living room with it on. >> Yeah. >> Cuz now I associate that with 3D porn.
5:53 So I feel like everyone that has it on is about to jack off. >> Dude, I bet that's what it turned into, though. Like the VR market were like, "Sick, we have so so many cool games." And then people are like, "Nah, the porn market's actually blowing up." If it even if it only services the porn market, that's like the biggest market. >> Yeah, it is. It is the biggest market. It's everybody. Everybody. >> Then if you see at someone's house, you're like, >> "Yeah, >> I know what that's for." >> We pay so much money to come. >> I agree though. If you can if you can get the discount at a ████ restaurant for seniors, you should be off the internet. >> You You can't go on You can't go on the ALOS. >> Yep. >> You got to just get basic news. You know what I mean? It has to be like the way newspapers were the stories. It has to be collection of news just for old folks or something and kids. >> I agree with the UK for sure. >> I kind of think if social media exploded, there's a net positive.
6:45 >> Let me >> like we erase social media. [clears throat] I mean, we wouldn't have jobs and you can't watch this. But I think it would be a net positive >> or just a different way we consume our content like cuz I think the algos are too much. It is the algos that I think ruined it because it gives you too much of like the echo chamber stuff. Yeah, >> which is 90% of a lot of people's problems when they start arguing with their family or they start to talk to people about politics in general. It's like it just gets too crazy and and discovery gives you doom scroll, right? So remember when Instagram first started, >> but it knows me so well though. >> And and you only followed your friends and stuff like that. So if you only followed so many people, you only got so many posts. >> And it's chronological. >> Yeah. And it was chronological. So when you ran out of your update for the day of your friends, >> it just stopped because boing boing boing. Yeah, that's right. You would get no more social media. >> It's amazing. >> You got your update.
7:35 >> You know what you guys sound like? >> It's a trip. I totally forgot about that. >> You guys sound like I jacked off as much as I want to in my teens, but I'mma shut the door behind me and none of you guys could have the joy that I do. >> We do sound like that. >> Look, that's that's mainly him. I'm I'm saying that 16 will just make for a better society of people. >> Okay. Well, I I I'm going to try to convince you this, right? Aren't we all trying to make a better society of people? I I'll show you how it's going to benefit society, right? You guys really hate poverty is what I'm what I'm thinking right now because you're not thinking about the poor teens out there who are the only breadwinners using social media for their ████ poor little family in a jungle. >> How are they using it for their poor family? >> They got they're social media stars, dude. You never seen the ████ African
8:27 tribes people. So ████ man. That ████ would have never happened. >> But there's way more people on the other side of that. And and here's the thing. How about if you're under 16 and you're a kid, it ain't on you. How about your parents just pick up the same phone that you got and just take care of that? >> They can't. They don't got the talent. >> And so you're not in school. I think if you ain't in school, sure. Do whatever the hell you want. Cuz if you're in a school and you can afford the phone to do social media, ████ it. >> Like I your your life's already whatever, dude. Like >> you are so naive. These people have alcoholic parents that don't ████ work. That's why they need to do this. >> We're bringing people out of poverty. >> How do they afford the phone? The the the the $1,000 phone. >> I got I got a hot take. >> I prefer this kid sell drugs than to be
9:18 on social media. [laughter] >> It's a better profit. I was like, "What what do my what do my homies do?" >> Everybody got to play their part. Yeah. >> When their when their parents were alcoholics and drug addicts, >> they call hustlers. >> My homies sold drugs and they learned the entrepreneurial ways. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. But going on and ████ doing a Tik Tok dance is way better than selling meth. >> Yeah, that's true. That's also true. There's always going to need to be. Look, this is like everybody's going to play their part and and have their I'm not going to be naive and sit here and be like there's going to be a world where there's no drug dealers. Nah, dude. Drugs is dope. All right. So, no matter what, some people got to grow up and and fill their role. If you're going to have a tough lifestyle or the thing that you do on social media promotes, you know, that type of lifestyle, that might be worse content for other people
10:08 to watch. Like that one, you know that one uh the one Hispanic chick with the lazy eye that always makes food for her husband. You guys >> I know, dude. The thicker chick who does really unhealthy weird ████ >> Her ████ uh IG success is insane. They lived in a trailer. All she ever did was make food for her husband that's going to go be a construction worker. Blew the ████ up and they just bought a house. Point proven. >> And now all the comments are saying they [laughter] sold out. I'm like, that's ████ up, bro. They ████ moved out of a trailer park and they have their own sick ass home now. >> Now, but point and prove is sold out. That is the adult. It's an adult >> team pregnancy. Team mom. >> Wait, what about team mom? >> They could be teen mom influencers. >> Again, I think if you're already a mom, this don't apply to you. You already are outside of the regular rule book.
10:59 >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. What is it going to take to convince you guys that there are poor teenagers that need social media? Even the drug dealers, they could increase their customer pool with social media. It could solve this problem for me. The problem for me is >> when the what's in their palm is overpowering their brain. >> Yeah. Cuz if you're selling drugs, it's bad for society, but it's still their brains making decisions and they're kind of like becoming the person they're going to be. What I'm scared of is when people on the phone, they're like brainwashing. It's like going in the matrix and plugging into your brain, but you're letting someone else do the programming. And that's the part that scares me. >> They're already brainwashed. Bart, >> they don't need a phone to do it. >> By who?
11:49 >> By the school system, by tell everything. They're people are already That's why I'm like I don't see the difference. >> So just let them let them >> The only difference is uh they're more entertained and and it's on >> they shut up for longer. [laughter] >> Yeah. They were saying the same ████ when when they're like teens these days are glued to the television and then I'm like cartoons are my ████ >> To be fair that's Joe actually has a really good point. Yeah, >> the algo was better. You have to watch some Judge Judy. You have to watch some Brady Bunch. You know >> Yeah. Everybody was on the same algo. >> Yeah. Everyone's on the same algo. >> Actually, that is hugely different. >> We're all brainwashed at the same time. >> Yeah. Oh, by the same thing. >> We were united. >> We were united through one propaganda
12:39 machine. >> Then the real answer is this. Okay. >> One algo only. >> One algo algo only. One algo only. Hey.
