Want to save your kids from going viral and going to the ER? Curious why TikTok trends keep ending with police lights, lawsuits, and in some cases… bullet wounds? In this episode of Barrett & Baxa, Steve and Bob unpack the wild world of dangerous TikTok challenges—from door-kicking idiocy to “annoy strangers until they snap” pranks—and explain how a quest for clicks is turning teens into Darwin Award contestants.

We dive into real-life news stories, including shootings connected to viral pranks, a Florida sheriff issuing the most Florida warning ever, and the now-infamous case of prankster Tanner Cook, the guy who learned the hard way that shoving a phone in a stranger’s face doesn’t always end in a like and a subscribe.

You’ll hear about home improvement store mayhem, drywall collisions, and kids who somehow think “kicking someone’s front door at 2 a.m.” is a harmless LOL moment. Spoiler: homeowners disagree. Loudly. And armed.

If you want to understand how social-media clout culture is pushing teens into increasingly dangerous behavior—and how quickly a “funny” TikTok bit can turn criminal or fatal—this is your episode. Come for the laughs, stay for the life-saving PSA, and leave knowing exactly how NOT to get shot or sued on the internet.
