Summary

Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay check back in now that states have begun passing laws that supposedly crack down on family vlogging and child influencers.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Candace Lim. And I'm Kate Lindsay, and you're listening to I see Y

1:03.7	Who is he?
1:04.7	Yes.
1:05.4	So I joined Love Island and the fandom in season four.
1:09.3	So he's slightly before my time, but I'm aware he was on
1:12.3	the third season of Love Island, UK. He came third place alongside Olivia Atwood, who is also like shot

1:28.1	Okay.
1:28.4	I don't think people feel particularly one way or another about him.
1:32.2	But what I can tell you is that no one expected his next friendship duo to be with Jojo Siwa.
