Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty is Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 3: Now it's time to get to the viral load on
Speaker 3: not only KFI but YouTube with Tiffany Hops.
Speaker 4: All right, So, twins have always had an air of mysticism,
Speaker 4: whether it's Tweedled and Tweedled Dumb, the two girls from
Speaker 4: the Shining in that Hallway.
Speaker 5: We all know that hallway and the Shining.
Speaker 4: The idea of twins comes along with do they have
Speaker 4: their own language? And other questions like do they possess
Speaker 4: special twin powers? Well, there's a pair of twins, obviously
Speaker 4: a pair, and they're going viral for a video that
Speaker 4: recounts a carjacking of their mother, and that that's on
Speaker 4: its own is a really harrowing event, really tough event.
Speaker 4: But this particular video and its virality is all about
Speaker 4: just how in sync these two twins are. Their names
Speaker 4: are Bridgette and Paula Powers. There from Queensland, Australia, and
Speaker 4: we're gonna hear from them exactly what happened as they
Speaker 4: recount the story of their mother's carjacking.
Speaker 6: And one guy he was up there with our mom,
Speaker 6: and he he went up there and he was.
Speaker 7: Coming back down towards us, and he goes, run, he's
Speaker 7: got a gun.
Speaker 6: And our hearts started a pound, and I said, well mom,
Speaker 6: where's mom? And poor Mama's stuck up there by apparently
Speaker 6: our brave mom. She goes, are you all right? Because
Speaker 6: he had all black his face, and he goes, I'll
Speaker 6: shoot you.
Speaker 7: She goes, hey, I'm here to hell a mom just strategy,
Speaker 7: needing to make him look the other way. And he
Speaker 7: looked the other way, and Mama ran into the bush
Speaker 7: behind the fence and the guy goes to all fine
Speaker 7: you and I'll shoot you. All I was thinking about
Speaker 7: when we're Ronnie, they joined.
Speaker 5: You were keep listening. Well see he was out there
Speaker 5: and we were past and they're pointing the same direction.
Speaker 6: All of that at the time, No, you just run.
Speaker 5: You see, there was a glitch.
Speaker 4: One said one thing and another the other said a
Speaker 4: different thing. But the majority of the video they are
Speaker 4: completely in sync, as if they've rehearsed this. But they
Speaker 4: say this is how they've always been. They've actually gone
Speaker 4: viral before for being on camera recounting something that happened
Speaker 4: in the news.
Speaker 5: This is what they do.
Speaker 4: They are fifty and fortunately their mother is okay. Was
Speaker 4: a gun wielding carjacker. Their mother did survive this event.
Speaker 4: Uh do not know if the carjacker was captured. But
Speaker 4: these two winds are now the latest viral sensation. They're everywhere.
Speaker 2: They were on Kimmel last night, Jimmy Kimmel, did you
Speaker 2: happen to see that?
Speaker 5: I saw it?
Speaker 4: So they they have their Their fame now is seeing
Speaker 4: no bounds. People love these two women and what they
Speaker 4: do naturally.
Speaker 2: Kind of eerie. It's kind of eerie.
Speaker 3: When they say finishing each other's sentences, they mean finishing
Speaker 3: each other's sentences.
Speaker 4: It's a how do you say it?
Speaker 5: Telepathy?
Speaker 4: Telepathy exactly Tilapia, it's that as well, to Tilapia, Mississippi.
Speaker 4: But this is what again, they say, They do this naturally.
Speaker 4: It's unrehearsed. It's what they've been doing all of their lives.
Speaker 4: They even dress identically. They live their lives together, so
Speaker 4: they have a lot of a lot of practice.
Speaker 2: That would get on my freaking nerves.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine having a twin?
Speaker 8: Imagine dating one of them that means dating both of
Speaker 8: them exactly, yes, no no.
Speaker 3: No no no no no no, yes.
Speaker 5: No absolutely no no no. It's like Gongo buy one,
Speaker 5: get one two four price of one.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
Speaker 1: on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Can I am six forty and YouTube Tippy hops take
Speaker 2: it away.
Speaker 5: When it comes to viral stories a lot.
Speaker 4: Ironically, the twentieth anniversary of YouTube is today. YouTube actually
Speaker 4: was probably the first platform where virality actually took place,
Speaker 4: and back then the videos were quite mundane. Since then,
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of content creators really syncing their
Speaker 4: everything into going viral in the hopes of monetization, with
Speaker 4: clicks and subscriptions all over YouTube, all over social media.
Speaker 4: There's a new documentary on Netflix. It's called Bad Influencing
Speaker 4: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, and it exposes the exploitation
Speaker 4: of viral child influencers. So we spend every week talking
Speaker 4: about viral stories. But of course there is another side
Speaker 4: to this content creation, especially when children are employed. There
Speaker 4: are questions about exploitation and other things. In this documentary
Speaker 4: takes a deep dive into using children to create content
Speaker 4: and the dangerous effects physically and mentally that it can
Speaker 4: have on those kids. The series is a three part
Speaker 4: series and it focuses on one child in particular.
Speaker 5: She's now older.
Speaker 4: Her name is Piper Rockwell and she became a very
Speaker 4: popular social media personality. Her mom and manager, Tiffany Smith,
Speaker 4: is the one who orchestrated Piper's career. And it wasn't
Speaker 4: just Piper that Tiffany started and stopped with. No, with
Speaker 4: the success of Piper's channel and the content she was
Speaker 4: creating just about being a regular kid, other kids were
Speaker 4: brought in and these kids ranged in age, they were
Speaker 4: different genders, and they all loved being in front of
Speaker 4: the camera. And Tiffany Smith, Piper's mother, said that this
Speaker 4: was a way for these kids to express themselves and
Speaker 4: create humorous content together. It was all very innocent in
Speaker 4: the beginning. However, this group became named as the Squad.
Speaker 5: Was a group of these kids.
Speaker 4: They were called the Squad, and they are now saying
Speaker 4: that there was another side to the industry that people
Speaker 4: did not know about, but everyone inside was absolutely knowledgeable
Speaker 4: on They cite all sorts of abuse, including physical abuse,
Speaker 4: sexual abuse, mental abuse abuse. They also say that they
Speaker 4: were disassociated from their families and alienated in ways that
Speaker 4: were extremely dangerous, and this documentary really goes deeply in
Speaker 4: to what they experience as well as what kid fluencers,
Speaker 4: that's what they're called, kid fluencers are potentially and maybe
Speaker 4: even likely dealing with behind the scenes of these really
Speaker 4: popular content creation channels. Again, you can watch this documentary.
Speaker 4: It's a three part series. It's called Bad Influencing The
Speaker 4: Dark Side of Kid Fluencing, and it's on Netflix.
Speaker 2: There is some irony here. You're talking about the twentieth
Speaker 2: anniversary of YouTube while we're live streaming on YouTube, talking
Speaker 2: about influencers on YouTube.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of irony.
Speaker 4: It can be used, obviously, YouTube for wonderful things, including
Speaker 4: a live broadcast of this show. But there is a
Speaker 4: dark side when children are utilized. What are the parameters?
Speaker 4: What are the boundaries therein if any where children are
Speaker 4: kept safe, and this documentary is saying any cases children
Speaker 4: are not kept safe, it's the exact opposite.
Speaker 5: All in the name of going viral.
Speaker 4: Our last story, I'm so happy we have the YouTube
Speaker 4: cameras up so you all can see this out there.
Speaker 5: Please be watching right now.
Speaker 4: If you're doing something else, look back at the camera,
Speaker 4: because we are going to do a little taste test
Speaker 4: for our final story.
Speaker 5: What our final story.
Speaker 4: Involves something I've been seeing everywhere talking about viral. It's
Speaker 4: been everywhere every social media handle. It's been in restaurants.

Speaker 4: much attention to it. And it's a new type of
