  • >> No, no, no director, I get to say itit's time for news from around the world and  

  • meanwhile in and now I'll proceed if I don't say  I'm just gonna feel weird the whole time anyway.  

  • Meanwhile, in Japan there is a program  that you might have seen now on Netflix.

  • It is called My First errand and in fact  in its Japanese form, it's been running  

  • for literally decades at this point and  it has revealed something that I can't  

  • believe I didn't know about. It's kids  going on errands and being filmed doing  

  • the challenge. Some of the errands are  pretty simple in one, a two year old  

  • titled a few houses away to a dry cleaners to  drop off his sushi chef dad's work white's.

  • One kid had to travel a full  kilometer alongside a busy street  

  • using a homemade traffic flag to cross trafficAnd Kyle, I have to say this is the show that I  

  • am most interested in that I have not watched one  minute of but I am fascinated by the, the premise  

  • two year old going unlike a long  errand makes me so nervous and anxious.

  • What do you think about it? >> You know why I'm so excited  

  • to watch it. I think it's gonna be the most  adorable and cute show out there on Netflix.  

  • I honestly love Japanese media and tv shows  like anime. And their romantic rom coms that  

  • has such like creativity and excitement that  you don't seem like a lot of Western media.

  • So I'm really excited for it and  honestly like could there be like  

  • real mature? So I'm not gonna be surprised when I  

  • see them completing those errands like perfectly. >> Okay we might have to disagree on that. We'll  

  • see but first I wanna go over  to a little bit of the trailer.

  • This is what's now being  called old enough on Netflix.  

  • That makes me so nervous when they zoomed  out and the kid was on the streets. Like  

  • I would be nervous to run that errand on footTyler, so you're comfortable with 2,3 year old,  

  • you would send your two or three  year old out to run some errands.

  • >> Yeah so I actually did a little bit  more research about this show and they  

  • have people planted different places to make  sure that the kid is gonna be okay. So I'm not  

  • really worried about the safety of it. Maybe we  could talk about maybe child exploitation, but  

  • I think if it's done in a cute way, I  guess people are more accepting of that,  

  • but I think it's gonna be a really good show.

  • >> I don't believe that kids need to be protecting  everything I'm fine with kids playing sports. I  

  • want them to get out there. I want them to  learn everything, but I don't know for me  

  • the idea of like a two year old, it's not likeby the way, it's not like I'm afraid of like a  

  • Disney executive is gonna run by and grab him and  kidnapped and that's not what I'm talking about.

  • It's just they could trip and fall or something.  I maybe I'm gonna be an overly watch e helicopter  

  • dad someday. I don't know but I'm nervous  about it. I did want to let people know though  

  • apparently it's it's quite common internationally  especially in some parts of the US.

  • But internationally kids do independent errands  like this. Several states in America though  

  • if you leave your kids unattended like in this  case you can actually face legal consequences.  

  • So be careful where you tread in AmericaAlso though I just found this fascinating  

  • since 1995 the number of Children reported  missing each year has dropped by 50%.

  • And most of those are kids that run  away or a parent takes them without  

  • telling the other parent. Only about 100  kids are abducted by strangers each year  

  • which I think is way lower than  most people would expect. So  

  • I think it is dangerous but perhaps not in  exactly the way some people might think.
