i love that the iceberg STARTS with the labrant family lmao…we’re not messing around here

[@tylerbenderr]

We don’t mess around here

[@khodson3740]

She really said the labrants are “animatronic golden retrievers” 😭😭😭

[@stecymwachia2691]

The way labrants also sounds like labrador and a reference to the show lab rats 😂

[@wayamayaa]

i honestly feel awful for ryan because i can't imagine growing up knowing your face is on underwear. like that is horrifying, his toddler self is literally a whole franchise

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

His life is the frickin Truman show.

[@soapygirl83]

It's kind of amazing to me how much that movie predicted the future. ​@@lordfreerealestate8302

[@lynternet]

its so bad that even the kids i work with, who are mostly around 9-12 years old, are very familiar with ryan and his content and know its bad. they cant explain how or why, but they konw its not okay. and THAT makes me even sadder.

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

I’m so glad Matt and Abbey got mentioned!! Something about their vibe gives passive aggressive, condescending, don’t really like each other, got married because they thought it was right, one or both of them cheats, divorced within the next 5 years (or they stick it out forever out of spite/repression)

[@ImJustaSprout]

@strawberrycherrybaby they never really gave me that vibe, except for the part where they said they did different chores. But I immediately stopped supporting them once the cruise thing came out

[@aproxamillionwasps474]

Their shorts were coming up for me a lot for a little while and there were a few podcast clips where I got the vibe that they secretly haaated each other 😂 Matt always seemed like he was missing some brain cells lol

[@sthomson06]

​@@ImJustaSprouttheir secret cruise nanny? They all have secret nannies.

[@silvercheetah92]

There's a KZbin couple that make videos parodying crunchy moms. Their kids are occasionally in the skits but they never show the kids' faces. They only show the kids from the back or the kids are usually out of frame and you just hear their voices. Also the kids are clearly playing characters and aren't using their real names.

[@bootybuttcheeks]

Oak and Alder 😂 i love that channel

[@Isabella-tm5ek]

Some of these parents genuinely need to be in jail

[@mostHumblePersonAlive]

Rube Franke is currently serving time for aggravated child abuse.

[@tylerbenderr]

Frrr

[@soapygirl83]

Shari Franke is in jail. I wish nothing but hope and healing for her children.

[@alexaaday]

​@soapygirl83 ruby franke is in jail. Shari is her daughter, and just wrote a tell all book about her abuse.

[@Plainjanejj]

I’m about to write my research paper for my college class on parents who exploit their children for content. This video has been motivated to keep working on my bibliography. 😭

[@marialauraverso]

as a horsegirl, galloping is a strong word to define what that guy is doing on horseback

[@Rory_dory]

I don't like Matt and Abby... but I LOVE the lore. Like I will always check in on their channel WAITING for the day when Abby gets a divorce, I'm rooting for her

[@ImJustaSprout]

She definitely deserves it cause he's proved he doesn't actually care that much, but I don't think she should get custody if they do because of the cruise incident. They can say whatever they want, but they first said that they left their 2 young children alone, so that's what's what I believe. And I didn't even know about it until people started talking about it

[@steffany-raelynch4030]

I am in my thirties and my mother pushed me into ballet, etc; and there are BINS of regular developed film photos …. I can only imagine what she would have done if she had access to the cloud instead of just Kodak and Fujifilm in the 90s lmaooo😅😅😅

[@kate4781]

ODing on Tylenol: My mom has always been very clear with us that we could OD on over the counter medicines. Early in her career as a nurse, a woman brought her daughter into the ER. The daughter had a fever and the mom kept giving her tylenol to bring down the fever. The daughter ended up passing away from OD on Tylenol. If that wasn't sad enough, this happened on Mother's Day.

[@alexaaday]

My best friend's dad died from Tylenol overdose. He had a toothache and kept taking more trying to cope with the pain. He was found dead the next day.

[@victoriawinsor8116]

I think we need a full video about mad mama. The lore seems epic.

[@justine8387]

Check out cursed eye for the lore. Great research and deep sarcasm.

[@victoriawinsor8116]

@justine8387 thanks!

[@SPMunny]

I want to say “yes, it gets easier to get up at 5 when you get older”, but when I was in my teens and 20s I was getting up at 3-4 so I’m probably not the one to ask

[@CatBarefield]

..why?

[@SPMunny]

@CatBarefield gotta be ready

[@emm_uhh]

Did you grow up on a farm or do sports? I literally gave up swimming cause practice was at 5 am.

youtube asked me how fun this video was and i said it’s the most fun thing ive seen all week

[@fluentdogtraining5047]

“I would never do that to my child. What should we name them? Let me know in the comments” made me LOLLLL and it should be Hildegard

[@amylou22snowhite]

Last year, my kid has major spinal surgery. He developed post op infection and could have died. We spent 11 days in hospital. The idea of using my sick kid for content never crossed my mind.

[@soapygirl83]

Dude I love this video so much. I am so deep in all the lore. A couple things that you could have mentioned that are so insane - labrants Don't just exaggerate when their own children are hurt or sick. They made a video about a little girl who has cancer and clickbaited it to make it look like it was their own child who had cancer. Supposedly it was to "raise awareness" (Yes Cole, we already know that childhood Cancer exists) wonder if that sick little kids got any money for being exploited by for parents and Cole Labrants. The Franke story is so horrifying, but what makes even more insane is the fact that she abused her children because this crazy therapist who was approved by the Mormon church as a special Mormon therapist named Jodi Hildebrandt who convinced her to do it because she thought kids were sinners and they needed to abuse them to purify them if sin. Also guys please do not watch the lifetime movie about the Frankes because they did not approve any of it and don't get a dime of it. And those poor kids are going to need a lot therapy hopefully by a therapist who isn't a monster.

[@momjeans9238]

The Dougherty's live about 4 miles from me, I should not be able to know that without trying, but I do. I see the mom shopping in my local Wegmans and Targets too.

[@TheArcherette]

Tylenol is the most common medication to overdose on actually! You only have to go over 3,000mg. 2 extra strength Tylenol is 1000mg. So 2 tylenol every 6 hours?

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

Yep and if mixed with something like alcohol, it’s much worse

[@RenayOpish]

Came here to say this!

[@CallaLillie27]

I might be taking too much Tylenol when I have a migraine 😳

[@OhSkyeLanta]

11:51 OD’ing on Tylenol makes your kidneys shut down. It’s less likely to 💀 you but will still mess you up.

[@maddyk6188]

and your liver!

[@Hippidippimahm]

California added online entertainment to the Coogan account rules, so there’s at least some progress being made, but I’m really concerned with the sheer amount of work parents are able to force their kids to do. At least on set there’s time limits for shooting with kids.

[@fabianlopez6911]

We love a diverse background for each video.

[@tylerbenderr]

One day I will find my style hahaha

[@FlowerChild65]

Russel is truly a hero. I have no doubt he saved his life and his siblings lives. I will be looking out for Shari's book next year. There really needs to be more laws in place to protect kids.

[@essentiallyalexandra]

Do a full Matt and Abby vid!

[@tylerbenderr]

Ugh they are OTP

[@lily-iv3rn]

If you are interested check the dad challenge podcast, he talks about them and other family vloggers, and he doesn't hold back lol

[@Mystic_Paths]

Such incidents reveal how some parents may prioritize content over their children's well being

[@AngelinaParker]

Oooh I got my Frosted Flakes ready to hear about all the drama about family vloggers!

[@bethanyhutchings793]

Also, Lifetime made a movie about Ruby Franke and her family.. they made the movie without telling the family and 0 profit was given to the family… wild

[@jinaolen786]

🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@perc-cc4cq]

my favorite KZbinr YASS! I love how committed you are to delivering high quality content with some very truthful takes. keep up the great entertainment!!!

[@Villymanillyvoop]

You should look into those 'kids as stars' type channels (if you like, not trying to force you to deep dive into something you don't want to). They're sort of like family vlogs but instead of the everyday life of kids, they're toy reviews (like Ryan, as you mentioned) that morph into odd skits (of which they all recycle the same stories among the different channels) e.g. Diana Kids Show, Like Nastya, Vlad and Nikki, Vania Mania - they all seem to have the same 'we were sharing with family and friends' origin story and several children as the older ones age out (see also Ruby and Bonnie, though Ruby at least is now 18 or so I think). There's even one where the mother seems to own the production company for the channel - I think it's Girlzzttoyz or something but it also seems to employ a bunch of actors for other skits etc. And Toysandcolors is another odd one, which seemed to be a family enterprise but has pulled in more people as it has gone on. So odd, and not something I've seen people talk about much when they discuss exploiting children online.

[@f1nnick.f1lms]

tyler thanks for this video it’s so important for mainstream media nowadays

[@natashameehan6594]

Tyler is the hero we didn’t know we needed ❤

[@Eerie_Canal]

The Dougherty dozen live in my city….such a large family is an anomaly here….but we have one of the best agricultural markets in the area and plenty of local affordable farm delivery boxes…..I cannot see why she feeds her children that way when it’s not even the most affordable option

[@catherinecroteau-pinney4085]

Voluntarily doing anything at 5:30 in the morning is insane.

Yaaaay new Tyler! I don’t even watch family vloggers because I find them so creepy, but I love your deep dives lol

[@tylerbenderr]

Welcome aboard!

[@lau4545]

10:50 WHAT?!? They judge child dancers based on their SOCiAL MEDIA now???! Honestly this is one area where the law should step in and simply prohibit this

[@lucygg8164]

It might be certain ones for like young professionals because as a dancer ive never heard of this

[@lau4545]

@lucygg8164 that's reassuring though that you haven't heard of it, maybe it's just a few weird ones

Matt and abbey really give me the ick. Please do more of these Tyler 💕

[@alexandrakirk3202]

I was putting off finishing an essay that due at 11:59 tonight. this video came in clutch

[@rosemarieboulton4683]

Yes, you can definitely overdose Tylenol and it is very easy to cause permanent liver damage from it. If you are an adult taking the Paracetamol (acetominophen) 500mg tablets with no other health conditions or issues then usual recommended dose is a 1-2 tablets up to four times daily, maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.

[@Boots_293]

It’s shocking how many people don’t know this!

[@tylerbenderr]

Dang thank you for the science queen

[@diana2063]

None of this will ever change unless we as a society have a complete revision of the entire concept of parental rights, pass real strict federal laws against child abuse, neglect, and exploitation, empower CPS, and stop giving abusers chance after chance to abuse their children in the name of their parental rights. Children are not property, but our laws protect pets more than humans under the age of 18. Until you start advocating, voting, running for office, and have difficult conversations with your friends and family - and completely reject the idea that anyone has the right to raise kids however they want - you’re just part of the problem.

[@kathrynsilver]

girl i can not take you serious with that baby doll strapped to you lol

[@gratefulwhispersasmr]

Tyler thank you for making videos on the exact topics I make my boyfriend go on rabbit holes with me that he tries his hardest to care about

[@Netalula0707]

OMG Daddyofive brings me back. I remember when Phillip Defranco was doing callouts on this a-hole and how invested I was in the whole situation.

Thank you so much for covering such an important topic 🩷

[@Guest-j11]

I love your iceberg videos! Thank you!

[@d.b2370]

Mad Mama omgg finally someone is talking about her. She used to say that she had different number of kids from the first husband. Additionally, her first child also got a kid at an early age and she supported it. She was not underaged though thank god. She was trying to get rid of her second husband kinda. Their relationship was rocky. I do not believe that he got over doozed tbh. They probably separated. However, it is so saddening if he passed away or something bad happened to him:( She posted stup*d content when she just recently put her baby with cancer in medical care. She accepts having a f*tish of getting pregnant. In addition to that, back in the day she posted private information about kids.

[@Andrea-ve6ze]

I can't with the moms whose husbands are out of town for 3 days calling themselves solo parents.....signed, an actual solo parent.

[@JustoutofWonderland]

Most people use solo parenting to say they’re solely responsible for the kids in that moment but not permanently - it’s used to acknowledge that it’s not the same as single parenting when it’s just you with no partner. I don’t understand what the issue is?

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

@@JustoutofWonderland Solo parenting is squally used by army wife’s whose partners are away from home. They usually are away for long stretches of time not just a few days.

[@worrydarling]

Family vlogging is beyond creepy to me. You wouldn’t let your child go in a stranger’s house once, so why would you allow every waking moment of their lives in a stranger’s phone ??? It’s so gross

[@asmrtpop2676]

Oh don’t worry they can’t pay attention to that many kids, all those TLC shows literally went over this. But they don’t care.

[@Margles349]

Yes, it is easier to get up at 5am (though I have cats and they’re all like little alarm clocks so that helps)

[@Cheryl_Loves_Purple]

You didnt mention FGTeeV. My one grandson was obsessed with watching them here on YT when he was little several years ago & hearing & seeing some of the stuff said & done on there was questionable. Luckily it did not last long & he grew out of that. I have seen the Labrant family before. A couple of my granddaughters used to watch it so a few times when I visited I saw it. The oldest is not his bio daughter. At first I didnt think they were too bad, then they clearly made enough money to buy a big house & rent the smaller one, then they bought an even bigger mansion & moved states. Every once in a while I look them up to check in on where they are & each time there is a new kid. I do notice how all their videos are click bait. It is sad these kids will never know what normal is & one day when they are not relevant, they will not know how to live. Also what happens to these parents when the kids all grow up & no one is interested in watching them? This is why they keep having kids.

[@ArcticFoxxyProfessional]

I SAW YOU IN THE THUMBNAIL WITH THE WORD “PRISON” AND DIDNT REALIZE IT WAS YOUR VIDEO AND I GOT SO SCARED THAT YOU GOT ARRESTED

[@mathematics117]

11:55 it is actually really easy to overdose on Tylenol! The extra strength pills are 500mg each, they tell you to take two per dose but not more than 5000mg a day. So thats 5 doses, but Tylenol is pretty weak compared to Nsaids so most people can easy take wayy too much and end up in the hospital

It’s actually pretty easy to accidentally overdose on Tylenol! The max dose on the label is not as far away from the amount it takes to cause liver injury as many people would think. So this is everyone’s reminder to read the labels on meds before taking them, and don’t just assume you can safely take more than the max dose!

[@andreeab82]

2000mg is the absolute daily limit for Tylenol. It’s pretty toxic for your liver and it doesn’t take as many to overdose compared to other OTC pain meds. Great for breaking fevers though.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

My mom is almost in her sixties and she’s still a night owl lol I’m the same way. I’m nightshift but when I wasn’t you wouldn’t catch me out of bed before 9. And that’s being generous

[@amaliaweddle]

ok the one family i love is not enough nelsons, i know they are crazy rich but the mom has mentioned in recent videos to the kids about how they are being paid for it, theres 16 kids but so many of them are moved out and older that the younger ones get enough attention. they just posted a video about how theyr changing the style of vlogs so it is less personal and more fun, the mom talked about how she didnt feel right after posting some emergency rroom videos adn stuff like that but they seem like such a nice family

[@TheEclecticEmpath]

#1 OTC drug to OD on is Tylenol. It is very harsh on the liver.
