Lou and Marie share, like, and subscribe their way down a dark rabbit hole where kids are more valuable on-camera than off-camera. Lou drafts a history of the (online) world and Marie follows closely behind to pick up the pieces. Some of the kids plastered all over the internet before they lost their last tooth are now old enough to say something about it, and the Same Here Squad bets money that it isn't what adults want to hear. 

Announcement: Same Here, Man is taking a 3-4 week break after this, and will be back with some great big topics to dive into! Please write to us in the meantime.
