Kylie Kelce Reveals the Kids' Shows She Won't Allow in Her Home
Fact checked by Sarah Scott
Kylie Kelce is known for speaking her mind. On the most recent episode of her podcast Not Gonna Lie, released on July 24, 2025, Kelce discusses her NGL 'screen time recommendations list' for this summer, as well as the 'banned list' of shows she doesn't allow her four daughters to watch—no exceptions.
'These are my personal opinions about kids' shows,' she prefaces her list. 'If you watch any of the ones that I may or may not talk some smack about, then that's great. I'm going to be honest. I have no other way to function.'
Kelce, who shares Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months, with her husband, former NFL player Jason Kelce, notes that they are both aligned in their views on children's television shows.
On her list of favorite shows is Bluey, Miss Rachel, and Sesame Street, where she jokes that Big Bird is 'aging like fine wine.'
After sharing her favorites, and her love for the music in these shows, which she says 'slaps,' she shifts to her list of no-gos. And CoComelon is at the top of that list.
'No. Aggressively no,' Kelce states. 'So now, if CoComelon comes up on any of the screens, my daughters say, 'Oh, we're not allowed to watch that,' because I have doubled, tripled, quadrupled down. We are not watching CoComelon in our house.'
Kelce is particularly adamant about CoComelon because she feels it has highly addictive qualities.
'We should question anything that locks kids in the way CoComelon locks them in,' says Kelce, a Parents Next Gen winner.
Other parents have raised similar concerns about the show's fast-paced editing and animation style, questioning whether these elements may lead to overstimulation or addiction.
Despite some pushback against CoComelon, the research on its potential impact is mixed. Many families love the show for its colorful animation and nursery rhymes. One parent on Reddit shared that, although their child enjoys the program, they are unaffected by it, demonstrating a healthy relationship with the show's animation and pacing, as Parents previously covered.
In addition to CoComelon, Kelce has also banned Blippi, and Teletubbies. Of course, these are all shows that are very popular among families across the country.
Every parent has different opinions about what they believe their children should and should not be watching. So like the Kelces, you just have to do what works best for your family.

Reddit and Discord's UK age verification can be defeated by Death Stranding's photo mode
Enforcement of the UK's new online safety rules started on Friday, forcing a variety of platforms to roll out mandatory age verification tools for Brits. We already know that the age-gating checks are easy to bypass with a VPN, but what we didn't know is that the face scanning tools used by platforms like Reddit and Discord can also be easily bypassed with Death Stranding's photo mode. Dany Sterkhov alerted the world to the Death Stranding bypass on Friday morning, and gamers have been using the photo mode and Sam Bridges to trick face scanning tools into accepting them as an adult all weekend. All you have to do is point your phone at your monitor with Death Stranding open, activate the in-game photo mode, and then get Sam to look at the camera. I used this technique on Discord and the face scanning verification (k-ID) asked me to open and close Sam's mouth, so I obliged using the facial expressions in the photo mode. I did the same thing on Reddit, but this time the face scanning tool (Persona) asked me to move Sam's face around, so I panned the camera around until it was accepted. Both were completed within seconds, and it was unbelievably easy to bypass these age checks. Discord uses the k-ID face verification service, while Reddit uses the Persona service. Both services were fooled by the virtual Sam Bridges. I tried to bypass Bluesky's age verification, which uses the Yoti service, and it failed with the virtual Sam Bridges. Yoti says Instagram will also use its facial age estimation technology as an option 'for people who need to prove they are over 18.' This bypass not only lets adults verify as an adult on multiple services, but it also lets you avoid sharing your face or credit card details with yet another third-party company. It also means you don't have to pay for a VPN service to continuously bypass these age checks, as long as the service you want to access offers a face scanning option that falls victim to the virtual Sam Bridges.

The Marketing Magic Behind Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle Campaign
In the week after American Eagle dropped its ad featuring Sydney Sweeney via New York City's Times Square, its stock leapt by 18 percent. While pop culture rarely distracts from business fundamentals on Wall Street, this campaign certainly struck a chord, with retail investors chiming in on Reddit threads about Sweeney's undeniable sex appeal. Other observers questioned whether a brand targeting teens and tweens should lean into such overt sexiness in its marketing. But whether onlookers were intrigued or offended by the racy nature of the ads, Sweeney has no doubt driven much-needed attention to the retailer, which has struggled to deliver compelling assortments in recent seasons. In May, it withdrew its annual forecast in light of macroeconomic uncertainties. 'There's a consumer hunger for more risqué, bold campaigns, especially after a long period where brands were very risk-averse,' said Rebecca Rom-Frank, senior marketing strategist at insights firm WGSN. '[American Eagle] has figured out a way to make this work by partnering with Sydney,' she added. Sweeney has proven to be a lightning rod for brand marketing in recent months. In May, she was the star of another viral campaign for men's soap brand Dr. Squatch, with which she collaborated on a new product called 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss.' Industry insiders said the stunt helped Dr. Squatch get acquired by Unilever for $1.5 billion in the following month. American Eagle's campaign, called 'Sydney Sweeney Has Good Jeans,' has achieved a more balanced approach. While leaning into the actress's trademark seductiveness, the denim campaign also highlights her sense of humour with videos of the actress 'auditioning' for the ad, driving a vintage car and making puns directly to the camera. It's this self-aware charm that's succeeded in resonating with American Eagle's young shoppers, said the retailer's chief marketing officer Craig Brommers. By working with the star ahead of her appearance in the highly anticipated third season of 'Euphoria,' the campaign is also critical as part of a wider strategy in driving cultural relevance among American Eagle's key Gen Z demographic, aligning the brand with a sense of relatability and nostalgic Americana. '[We're] really trying to play into the duality of Sydney Sweeney, of [an] accessible girl next door … to someone that's defining style and defining culture,' said Brommers. The Sweeney campaign comes on the heels of recent partnerships with tennis player Coco Gauff and 'Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega as American Eagle further establishes itself as an 'entertainment destination,' said Rom-Frank. It has also partnered with TV series 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' As part of its most recent campaign, Sweeney created a denim style, the 'Sydney Jean,' riffing on American Eagle's 'Dreamy Drape' jeans. The piece is embroidered with a butterfly on the back pocket to highlight domestic violence awareness, and 100 percent of proceeds from the style go towards the Crisis Text Line, a cause of Sweeney's choosing. The retailer also partnered directly with her personal stylist, Molly Dickson, for the campaign — both Sweeney and Dickson have their own 'edit' of the collection on the American Eagle website. In rolling out the campaign, American Eagle has several activations planned over the course of the next four weeks, which Brommers referred to as the retailer's 'Super Bowl' season as shoppers prepare for back-to-school, during which time it sells a pair of jeans every fifty seconds. Not only does it hope to continue to engage its core Gen-Z demographic but the retailer also aims to acquire new customers both among Gen-Z and flanker demographics, including Gen Alpha and Millennials. 'We have to programme these campaigns as if we are programming as an entertainment company,' said Brommers.

A couple of days in, they got the flu, so I told them they were allergic to carpet and they started sleeping in their own beds!" "I forgot all about it until my oldest was 21 and called to let me know she was not allergic to the kind of carpet in her boyfriend's house. I finally told her the truth.

They didn't know how to tell time, so it worked." —11carla 7."I told my niece that if you break a pinky promise, your pinky will fall off.

He shapes up real quick." —a_wachter 13."My son choked on bacon when he was six and refused to eat after that. When we were going on day four, I decided I had to do something to get him to eat, so I introduced him to anti-choking medication (watered-down syrup) in a medicine bottle with a legitimate-looking label that had his name on it." "He is 15 now and still reminisces about how that medicine saved him." —ffdh509 14."We live in a semi-rural area, so there are wild rabbits all around the house.

Closer to Christmas, we text Santa again with the top two or three toys they wanted all year. It helps with Christmas shopping too!" —circusofamerica Related: 19."Our family went to Disney parks often when we were kids. My dad told us that he knew Mickey Mouse personally and if we went to sleep early, he would take our autograph books to him before he went to bed and get them signed, so we never had to wait in long lines."
