A couple of weeks ago, I went on X and on this show, and I was offering some criticisms of Miss Rachel, the YouTuber who makes content for children. And I called her a slot peddler for toddlers, which he is, talks down to her audience, speaks to kids in a way that nobody in real life does. And on top of that, she's a political propagandist. And which means that you should keep her as far away from your kids as you possibly can. But turns out that not everybody agrees, shockingly, there are some Miss Rachel apologists out there. So we'll go through some of the comments, some that disagrees, some that agree. KD Mo says, tweets, she has two masters degrees in education, but cry harder about it Matt. Oh, a master's degree. Wow, KD, two of them, two masters degree? Wow, the only thing more impressive than two masters degrees is three. Why not four? Why not 12? Yeah, I don't care. What does that have to do with anything? It's hilarious to me when people still try to use this. So you're gonna try that on me. Do you think that's gonna impress me? Oh, she has, she has these pieces of paper. I'll have you know, she has a piece of paper in a frame hanging on her wall. Well, what do you say? So a master's degree in education. And guess what? I know more about raising kids and teaching them and communicating with them than she does. I know more than the vast majority of people with degrees in education. Because she read books and took courses taught mostly by childless left-wing feminists and I've actually raised six kids. So guess who's more educated on the topic? Like I have daily experience with teaching, educating, raising kids. And she has a master's degree, who cares? Guess who has the credentials that actually matter? That doesn't mean that I'm right about everything that has to do with parenting. I can be wrong. You all get things wrong, obviously. It just means that I don't give the slightest sh** about your little master's degree. Another comment says, I find it off-putting that she calls kids littles. Makes me think that she has an age regression fetish because that's how all those weirdos refer to themselves. But yeah, it's not a fetish thing. I mean, it might, maybe those weirdos do refer to each other that way. But that's not what it is. I'll tell you what it is. Calling kids littles or kiddos, it's like calling your dog a doggo. Kiddos and doggos. All that, that's cringe millennial female jargon. That's all that is. Every woman between the ages of 31 and 49 uses those terms. I know they're gonna be women in the comments are like, I'm 35 and I don't use those to, yes you do. You might not even know that you say it, but you all do. Little's, kiddos, doggos. I do find it highly annoying, but that is, I can't blame her much for that. She's 42 or something. It's just, I don't know what it is. I don't know where you ladies picked this up. Okay, because our parents generation, they didn't talk that way. My mom didn't go around saying, come on, look at all the doggos. Let's go get a doggo, kiddo. But like our parents didn't talk that way. Where did you get this? Where did you pick it? Where did you pick this up? I really don't know. But every single woman between 31 and 49 talks this way. I don't get it. Rihanna says, all this hate against Miss Rachel's like saying Barney would make your kid into a furry. Also, most tired moms turn to a video of singing school on the bus while they prepare dinner. Just say you hate women and men are perfect. Also, Mr. Rogers wasn't incredibly boring. Well, no, I'm not saying that Miss Rachel will turn your kid into Miss Rachel. So your Barney analogy doesn't really work. I'm saying that putting the politics aside, Miss Rachel is slop. It's over stimulating patronizing slop, childish. And I know someone like you, well of course it's childish, it's four children. The fact that you think that way, the fact that you don't understand the difference between childish and four children. That's exactly the problem. And if you give your kids a steady diet of the slop, it will turn them into dumb, distractable adults who struggle with basic comprehension. It'll turn them into basically you, Rihanna. I'm willing to bet that you as a kid watched earlier versions of Miss Rachel Slub. You probably watched Barney. And I don't know, maybe it didn't turn you into a furry. I don't know if you're that or not, but wouldn't surprise me. But it did turn you into kind of a dumb person. So that's the problem. And as for Mr. Rogers, yeah, you thought Mr. Rogers was boring because you were overstimulated and you needed constant bright colors and loud noises and quick movement on screen to keep your attention. And that's exactly the issue again. And look how you turned out. You can barely write coherently. You can't understand the arguments on making. You can't structure your own arguments. You can't make, you can't form an analogy. It's one of, to me, one of the, one of the quintessential signs that someone is low IQ is when they can't use, when they can't understand an analogy or use one to illustrate a point. So and you're overly emotional and ridiculous. You think all men are perfect. What is it? Do you think that that's a view that anyone had? Yeah, I think all men are perfect. What are you talking about, Brianna? You actually think that that even in your cartoon world where all men who are right wing or sexist or misogynist, even in that world, we would at least think that every man who's a leftist is certainly not perfect. Who do you think walks around with that view? Just like every man is better than every woman. That is a view that literally does not exist on the planet. It's not a human on earth who has that view. Okay, you have the mentality of a child. And I don't think it's entirely because of the slop you watched and consumed as a child, but that certainly didn't help matters. As we can see. Let's see. Man, if you only knew the answer to who's putting YouTube on for babies, you'd need a stiff drink. It's everyone. You know how when you drive on the highway and literally every single human behind a steering wheel is watching their phone in their lap, it's like that. Everybody with babies is doing this. I envy the optimism born for being surrounded by conservatives who maybe don't do it by a promise you that is extraordinarily rare these days. Absolutely, everybody with babies is putting screens in front of them and pumping this horrendous crap into their eyes and ears around the clock. Yeah, I don't doubt it. It's not literally everyone. I know you're slightly exaggerating, but it's I don't doubt that it is shockingly, horrifically disturbingly common. Obviously, we all know that parents rely on screens way too much, but I would like to think, if I were naive, that okay, we're not starting that until at least like three. I don't know, give the kid a couple of years, two, three years. Before you turn them into a zoned out zombie staring at a screen, but yeah, there's parents, probably a lot of parents are doing this, starting an infancy. Finally, Blippi is another creator who has similar vibes. He dresses and talks childish. I believe he had a creepy past before turning to children's television. Oh yeah, believe me, I've dealt with Blippi. I did a whole show about it. You can go back and watch an episode a couple of years ago where I was tearing Blippi apart and you can go watch that. And I had to go back and check because I haven't heard about Blippi. And it appears that Blippi is still a thing, still churning out videos, but there's a bunch of new Blippi. So the original Blippi, the really weird creepy guy, I don't know if he's still involved, behind the scenes, I'm sure he's profiting, but now there's a bunch of them. It looks like, I mean, I did about three minutes of research into this and it looks like there's a bunch of Blippi's on the Blippi channel. There's an Asian one, there's a bunch of different ones. But the videos are still the same. So I clicked on one video just to confirm that this is still happening and it's just as bad as it ever was. And yeah, it's the Asian Blippi, a grown-ass man, playing in some kind of playground, some kind of child's play area, riding around like a power wheels holding a stuffed animal. And it's like a 12 minute video where it's just that. It's this grown man playing in this, looks like the play area, the children's area, maybe like a, if you go to a science center or something like that, it looks like that. And this is exactly what I'm talking about. And Miss Rachel is not as bad as that, but it's the same genre. You've got a grown adult man acting like a child, talking like a child, playing on a playground by himself with a stuffed animal. As a parent, if that doesn't set off a million alarm bells, I don't know what to tell you. If you're a creepy weird, if you're like creepy weirdo radar, isn't picking that up, then you're totally dysfunctional as a parent. And especially for a man to be acting this way. Now, I think, as I said, Miss Rachel, she's very patronizing. She talks like a child to children. And I think that that is not the right way. Again, I don't have a master's degree, but I know just from being a parent, that's not how you talk to kids. Your kids are around other kids who talk like kids. They need you to talk like an adult, because the goal is for your child to eventually be able to communicate like an adult. And if you want your child to be able to communicate in a mature way, then you need to communicate in a mature way with them. And they're gonna pick up on that. That's basic stuff. But at least for a woman to do this, it's a little bit more natural. I mean, Miss Rachel goes way overboard. But women, it comes more naturally to sort of speak on the child's level, to do a little bit more of the baby talk stuff. And so for, and there's also a kind of an adult way of speaking on the level of a child. Like my, so one example is, is my wife, if she wants to sit down and watch a movie with our kids, she's going to usually want to pick like a kids movie, like a children's movie for the kids. And if I'm sitting down to watch a movie, then I want to pick like an adult, I want to pick a movie that's appropriate for kids, but is, but is, you know, like a movie for adults, a movie, a movie that's like a real movie that kids can also enjoy. Now the problem is that those are few and far between these days. Hollywood doesn't really make those kinds of movies anymore. Unfortunately, they should. But, but you know, that's what I'm looking for a movie that is a little bit more for like an older audience, but is, but is appropriate for kids. Whereas my wife, well she's going to go for the kids, if we're playing a game, like my wife will sit down and play whatever, like Candy Land or something, or some kids board game with the kids. If I'm going to play with the kids, well, I want to play Monopoly. Like I don't know, like yeah, let's play a game, but we're going to play, let's play hearts, right? I'm going to teach you how to play the game for adults and I'm going to play it with you. And that's, and even the way that I speak to the kids from basically, from infancy, is I speak to them in much the way that I'm talking right now. I just speak the way that I speak. And my wife, because she's a woman, she does more of the, so that it's more natural. My only point is that, especially when you got these, men, YouTubers for kids, and they're doing this whole routine, it's even weirder. And I think it should even send up, it even sets off more alarm bells, because it's not natural, it's not masculine, this is a strange way for a man to act. It's very weird for a man to relate to kids this way. And there's certainly no benefit to the kids. It's not educational, it's not edifying, it's not helping them to grow or anything like that. If it's doing anything, really, it's making the kid comfortable with the kinds of adults that they should be wary of. Right? If you go to the playground and you see the adult man by himself playing on the playground, it's not like he has a two year old with him and he's helping his two year old climb the jungle gym. I'm saying, you see an adult man by himself playing on the playground, are you gonna want your kid to go anywhere near that person? You're probably gonna call the cops, you're gonna say, get this person out of here. This is bizarre. And yet you would have your kid watching somebody like that on YouTube and becoming comfortable around these, that kind of person. I think that is, along with all the other problems, it's unsafe, honestly, for the kids. So, there you go. What I take from these comments is that I'm still right. In fact, I'm even more right than I ever thought I was. That's the lesson.
