not safe, But then again, Tyson and his boys do
go viral all the time and they get creates a
red bull sent directly.

are we really as evolved as we think we are

(00:59):
the next it's a double show stated to.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Pull her beanie down over her eyes as she was
driving down the road.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I can't imagine somebody purposefully doing something that makes them
not see while driving. The stakes are so high anyway,
but to try and do it in that condition not
being able to see anything is just extremely dangerous.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
This is one thing we never thought we'd have to say,
don't drive blindfolded? Are you serious? Takes?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
The social media authorities do have to issue warnings like
that all the time. Don't drive blindfolded, that's nut. Don't
stick a fork directly into your eyeball. Well, things like that.
It's a gebile show. And thanks to one personal injury
firm that's crunched the numbers, they've found the top most
dangerous TikTok challenges of all time.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
A personal personal injury firm. A firm looked into us.
That's how much we have messed up on TikTok. Have
people gone to them and I've been like, I did
this on TikTok? Please sue them.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Probably, but they've crunched the numbers, and of course, wording
to them, these are the top most dangerous TikTok challenges ever,
and whenever you see these things, you always think.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Like, why, why?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Why are people willing to do this just to get
likes on social media. I will tell you what the
number one most dangerous TikTok challenge of all time is
in just a second.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
But let's start with some of the other ones. The
Bena drill challenge. Excuse me, I don't know. Do you
remember that one?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I don't remember either, Victoria, do you remember the Benadryl
challenge on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yessing you'd take benjoin but who would take that much benajer?
Like you? That makes me pass out? Oh? I love
it for sleep.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
The Bena drill challenge was when people take between twelve
and fourteen benadryl, six times the recommended dose.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Why. I guess it makes people hallucinate? Well?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Why taking that much on histamine comes to complications like seizures,
heart problems and coma as well. The challenge, the Benadriyll challenge,
was to take that much benadryl and then film yourself hallucinating.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
What.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I don't remember that one, TikTok. I don't remember that
at all. That's one of the most dangerous ones.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
That reminds me of the ambient challenge. Do you remember
the ambient challenge? It was kind of similar to that. Oh,
I know, this was like a while ago. There was
the ambient challenge, very similar to benadryl, because ambient helps
you sleep and you get to that state where you're late.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
If you stay awake on it, right, Yeah, that's why
you stay awake on it.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And then how do you stay if it puts you asleep?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
How do you stay awake? Try to stay awake and
the like weird stuff happens. That's where it's suposed to
get good.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I had an next girlfriend that took ambient and tried
to stay awake. By the end of the night, she
was walking her iguana, didn't have any iguana, and she
trimmed her entire big toenail off.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And I didn't know. I was trying to stop her.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I was like, I don't know if you should do that,
but hey, she had her bed iguana and she was
doing her thing.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It was really weird. Yeah, I don't recommend that. It
really does. Got it.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Got These are the top most dangerous TikTok challenges is ever,
according to a Personal Injury firm that crunched the numbers
on how many people have gotten hurt and things like that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
The fire challenge what I don't know this one either? Arson.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
The fire challenge is a TikTok challenge that involves putting
small amounts of rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer on your
body and lighting.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It on fire. What kind of a challenge is that?
That's the other thing too, I'm sorry people really said,
let's see can light up light ourselves on fire? Why
I did that?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Enough people that have made the top the most dangerous
TikTok challenges ever, This.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is a scary time to be a parent.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well yeah, if you see out like outside, you look
outside and your kids lighting himself on fire?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
But what is the reason? Like do you think you're
not gonna burn? I don't know. It's like superhero status.
Look at me. I have no idea will burn? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
These are the top most dangerous TikTok challenges ever that
make you go like why why would anybody ever do this?
And are humans really as smart as we think we are?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
No, this one I actually did want to try, though.
The milk crate challenge. Do you guys remember that one
where you stand on the milk crakes. Yeah, people stack
up milk crakes into a pyramid and try to climb
up it like a set of stairs.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well that's kind of at least the big fails. Like
people fall all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
But apparently it resulted in over eight thousand emergency room
treated injuries in twenty twenty twenty one.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
What, yeah, that is so many. I do remember watching
those videos you do. I'm a sick person. I really
enjoy watching people fall in videos, but like that don't
actually get severely hurt.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But the milk crate challenge was bad. Why was it that?
What do you You're falling on the milk crates? I
phone like was doing summersaults. Yeah, and his friends to
just stand there and watch them. I mean there was
a high pyramid.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's high, and then those things also are hard to
and then they tumble, so you're just falling down on everything.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Basically, I didn't think.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
You would get that far, to be honest with you,
if they're not made to hold a person's weight, not
even one.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
These are the most dangerous TikTok challenges of all time.
We'll give the number one in just a second. But
of course the tide pod challenge had to make it.
Of course, why that's the stupid stunt that had people
eating or biting into laundry pods for social media clout

you don't realize it's a tide pod, it does look
like candy.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, Like if you're seeing somebody else eat it on
like TikTok or whatever, and you're like, ooh, this is fun,
you don't realize that it's dangerously poisonous.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
But if you're a kid and you see someone eating that,
you now have to go into the laundry room and
grab that out of the laundry basket.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
We don't want to stop.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
For a second and think, why am I grabbing candy
out of the laundry basket.
