Jessica describes more of Nikocado Avocado's content (Rascal scooter Target skits, cooking videos with his boyfriend) and they discuss the difficulty of raising kids amid disturbing internet content and easy access to porn.
- Nikocado Avocado's content: filming himself eating fast food late at night while telling anecdotes with his boyfriend, cooking recipes on ramen, doing skits on a Rascal scooter at Target.
- Tim on why people watch destructive content: humans are voyeuristic and addictive, getting hooked the same way they do watching news and war coverage.
- The problem isn't going to improve—creators like this are being enabled and supported to do increasingly horrible things.
- Guest discusses how hard it is to raise kids in a world with social media, bullying, and impossible content to monitor.
- Tim compares sexual escalation: when he was growing up, second base meant touching a girl's breasts; now kids go straight to anal.
- The one good thing about the internet—you can press a button and get a burrito delivered—is overshadowed by dark web pedophilia and worse.
- Roseanne told a stand-up comedian at the Comedy Store something brilliant: it's very hard to be funny now when there's no such thing as truth.
