 Hi, my name is Chris. Some people refer to me as the dad of YouTube and today we're going to be talking about how Danielle Bergoli aka Bad Baby is an awful influence for the internet. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So at the end of that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And real quick, I am getting started this week on my next book, Rewire Your Anxiety. I know a lot of you have asked me when it is going to be out and all that stuff. So hopefully in the next couple of weeks. So anyways, make sure you're following me over on Instagram and Twitter because I already have a bunch of topics laid out but I am going to ask for some feedback from you because I want to make sure I put topics that will benefit you in that book. So follow me at the Rewired Soul on Instagram and Twitter. Now, jumping into this topic of Danny Albergoli aka Bad Baby. First off, I am so good. I am so good to each and every one of you. A lot of you have requested this video so I was just at the gym and I endured bringing up baby on Snapchat to get some thoughts and opinions on this thing and yeah. So let's jump into it. For those of you who don't know who Danny Albergoli is or Bad Baby, she rose to stardom if you will on Dr. Phil. Alright? She's the catch me outside. How about that girl? Right? Turned into this meme. And I was actually talking to Tristan last night and I guess Danny Albergoli went to like this like camp thing and she actually started to do it a little bit better. But it's like why? Why didn't she stay better? Like she started to get on the right track. Why didn't she stay better? And it's what I keep trying to teach all of you guys about these positive feedback loops. Okay? Like for example, like she became this like internet celebrity because of her bad behavior. Alright? Her mom also piggybacked off this fame because of her mom's bad behavior. Like this is how people like Jake Paul and Logan Paul are created. You do something awful. You get a bunch of positive reinforcement for it. You will keep doing that. Like what is the incentive for Danny Albergoli to just be this like better person? You know what I mean? What's the what's the incentive for even her mother to be a better person? Like all their cars, their money, their houses, you know, their stardom. All of these things are based off of corporate behavior. Alright? So that's what we're going to be like kind of talking about the influences has on other people. So one of the issues is and one of the reasons I bring up other creators on here is because this influences people watching it, right? So I try to sit back and imagine who the audience, who is the core audience for different creators, right? And for Danny Albergoli, I don't even know. But I would assume there are, you know, younger people watching this and you got to understand because you guys do it too. You guys do it too. Like we sometimes watch people to kind of get our own confirmation by why it's going, right? So imagine a bad kid watching Bad Baby, right? And seeing this and saying, oh, well, she does it. She's rich. She's famous. She's a rapper. Okay. Maybe I should do that too. Right? It's very difficult, especially for younger people to separate that. Okay? So this sometimes gives people an excuse for their poor behaviors because they see somebody who is quote unquote successful doing these things. But if you were to really look at the dynamic between Danny Albergoli and her mother, like, is that healthy? Is that a relationship that you would want with your mother? Like is the money, the fame, you know, the, all that other stuff that comes with it, is it worth it to have that kind of toxic relationship? In my opinion, absolutely not. Now, what do we do if our child is looking at Danny Albergoli like she's some kind of role model? Like I was sitting there, you know, not sitting there. I was standing there on the treadmill. I was sitting there and I was watching. I was watching and I was like, if for some reason, if for some reason my son, my 10 year old son, just really got like into Danny Albergoli, like I would be watching with him, having conversations with him and explaining why this is not a good thing. All right? So all of you parents out there, like it's all about just monitoring and knowing what your kids are watching. You don't have to be like this like super secret spy, but know what they're watching and then have conversations with them. Ask them, like, what do you think about this? Do you think this is good or bad behavior? Do you think this is healthy or unhealthy? One of the reasons I have this channel is because I want the conversation of mental health to be something that we're doing more often, especially with our kids. All right, next, next. So let's talk about this dude, Frank. So Frank in Bringing Up Baby or just in real life in general. Frank is Danny Albergoli's bodyguard, okay? And they talk about this to kind of build this storyline of like how it's this like nice, sweet relationship between her and her bodyguard because bad baby didn't have a father figure in her life. So this guy, Frank, is like her bodyguard. I'm like, okay, that's cool. You just get introduced to him in like the first episode or so. So you're like, all right, so he's the one who puts his foot down and all these other things, right? And then there's also some tension between, you know, the mother and Frank because the mother has like no control over Danielle, but Frank, she often listens to him. And that's on a good day, by the way. But as I was watching it, like this is something, this is something that you see a lot of people do. They're like, oh, that's like my little sister or oh, that's like my daughter or oh, that's like my little brother or oh, that's like my son when it's really just a friendship. That's all it is. Like there was one scene where I was watching where I wanted to get into the whole thing because it was absolutely ridiculous. But right in front of Frank, Danielle and her mother are just going at it, just talking crap to each other, just saying awful things. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh my God, right? And Frank is just sitting there like, I'm just going to mind my own business, OK? So if he was truly, if he was truly like this father figure, like for me, when something like this happens, it's like, OK, both people, let's settle down, let's get some space, calm down, let's come back, and have a mature conversation, right? Well, that's not what happens. Eventually when Frank decides to open his mouth and talk to them about this situation, like he pretty much starts saying, oh, well, she's kind of right, and she's kind of right. And I'm like, wait, what? What are you talking about? I'll admit, when I was growing up, I had a lot of major defiance issues, but I always had an issue with authority, right? And as a parent, I often look at, OK, I need to be friendly with my son, but I also have to have respect from my son. So he listens and all these other things, right? And you see in this kind of dynamic, Danielle Bergoli is only 15 years old, and they treat her as if she is this grown adult woman. And if any of you have been paying attention to my channel and I talk about the brain development, by the way, if you don't follow my channel, you have no idea why I'm pointing at my hand, but the prefrontal cortex, logical decision making, emotional regulation, impulse control, morality, empathy, all those things, Danielle Bergoli is about 10 years away from that part of the brain being fully developed. So to treat her as if she is a 20-something or 30-something year old woman is absolutely the wrong way to go about this because she has not biologically developed in that way yet as far as the brain goes, OK? So the last thing I want to talk about that really weirds me out is a few weeks ago I made a video about the creepy relationship between Millie Bobby Brown and the rapper Drake, OK? Like everybody kind of agrees that their relationship is kind of creepy. But then I watched Bring Me Up Baby. I'm like, am I crazy? Am I the crazy one? Because that baby, her entire entourage, is filled with 20 or 30-year-old people. I am not kidding you. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, how is this, how is this being normalized, right? And they talk to her like, as if she's a friend, she calls them up and they'll come like pick her up and like all these other things and they'll talk to her like about like boys and girls and all these other things. And it's not even like an uncle or aunt situation. It's just weird. And part of it is like the whole just Hollywood thing and the stardom thing. And like, we are having children grow up too soon. And again, like, you don't even have to believe me. Just look at the history of child stars and where they end up and all these other things. You know what I mean? Like, it is this constant cycle. And one of the reasons is, is because we value money, fame, things over like our mental health and our emotional well-being. And that's one of the things that happens. Like, there are certain issues with a child only having adults in their support group. You know what I'm saying? And Danielle has all these like reasons but I'll call them excuses for why she doesn't hang out with people her own age. But the adults in the situation need to be encouraging that because that's what she needs, all right? But anyways, you're all welcome for me torturing myself watching this. And yeah, if you've checked it out, I'd love to know your thoughts on it. But anyways, anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.
