  We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, why are there so
• 0:03
  many trolls online when our society usually pushes back against bully behavior. Well,
• 0:07
  let's ask our American mama's mama, she said, And joining us now are
• 0:24
  American mama's Terry Neediville and Kimberly Burlson. What trolls online? Y'all have never
• 0:29
  had trolls online? Right? Yes? I mean who would come trolling after
• 0:34
  the American mamas? Only those? And really I didn't just dumb people.
• 0:40
  Yeah, we didn't even take it as trolls. There's only those that wanted
• 0:43
  to push back the things that the Democrats push back on. And we were
• 0:46
  just you know, they don't call us names. You know that I don't
• 0:50
  get my feelings hurt. Ever, I'm too older feelings hurt. I don't
• 0:54
  think they care. You know, maybe there was a time in our life
• 0:57
  where that would just gut us. But you know what, I get my
• 1:00
  feelings shirt though when it comes to my children. So my sister in law,
• 1:03
  I mean my daughter in law that I've told you all about, she'll
• 1:07
  get them. She's very popular, she's a little celebrity. She gets hate
• 1:11
  sometimes and I rage. I get so mad. I want to say something,
• 1:15
  and my kids like, do not say a word. Just they don't
• 1:19
  exist. And I'm like okay, but whenever I see somebody else jump in
• 1:23
  and kind of like go off, it gives me so much pleasure. It
• 1:26
  is such an it's so nice. And yeah, what were you say you're
• 1:30
  talking about? So the other day, our team we won the conference championship
• 1:34
  game. I mean no, yeah, we won the conference championship. We
• 1:38
  were the leaders. But we went into yes, we got into regionals and
• 1:44
  it was, you know, just one of those weekends where we could not
• 1:47
  do anything right and it just we got pummeled and so we were out of
• 1:51
  it, but we were so we're still so proud. Conference champs. Pretty
• 1:55
  dang good. Yeah, And so we came home after regionals. Well,
• 1:57
  I'm online in this troll was dogging our boys and dogging our coach and he
• 2:02
  wouldn't stop. And my husband was like, don't don't do it, don't
• 2:07
  respond, don't do it, and I'm like investigating. I'm like, oh
• 2:09
  my god, this guy he only has four followers. This is the troll
• 2:13
  and the other four are probably his other accounts. It's like exactly, so
• 2:16
  leave it alone. He kept going on and own and own and putting stuff
• 2:20
  out there about our coach, and I'm like, oh my god, when
• 2:23
  it happens to me, I'm like, cool, I don't care. But
• 2:24
  if it happens to the people that I love, these boys who work so
• 2:27
  hard in this coach, they love so much. So we went to go
• 2:30
  eat with my son Slade, who is a member of the team. He's
• 2:35
  like, Mom, he's a troll. Don't do it. Don't do it.
• 2:37
  I'm like, oh my god, why can't y'all just let me be
• 2:38
  me, Let me be me. I don't care, So I didn't.
• 2:43
  So I sent it to Steele. I was like, steal, what do
• 2:45
  you think? That's hilarious, mom, But don't do it. Doctor.
• 2:47
  I could not. So so after everybody telling you not to go after the
• 2:53
  troll, You're like, really good advice. I'm going to do it.
• 3:00
  And I mean, actually it was hilarious. I put him in his place.
• 3:04
  I did that Designing Women Julia sugar Baker, No nonsense, let me
• 3:08
  put you in your place. You got four you know. Yeah, if
• 3:12
  I could read it to y'all, I would, But so I posted it
• 3:15
  some title, tell immediately tell Stele, Hey, your mom, you should
• 3:20
  see what your mom just said to this troll. And what I said was
• 3:23
  correct, by the way, and he was like, mom, what have
• 3:25
  you? I was with still, I was holding the baby. He's like,
• 3:28
  Mom, what did you do? I was like, who told you?
• 3:30
  He wouldn't tell me the nark So I don't know who the nark is
• 3:36
  too. Yeah, he's in trouble. So I said still. He's like,
• 3:38
  Mom, no, you know you're neverviel We don't respond. I said
• 3:44
  this, Neverviell does. And he's like, mom, take it off.
• 3:46
  I was like, no, I'm not taking this off. He needs to
• 3:50
  hear this, and I don't care who else sees it. And yes,
• 3:53
  I'm a good, sweet Southern mama, but when you mess with the one
• 3:54
  of mine, I'm gonna give it to you. So he was like,
• 3:59
  Mom, well this is this isn't take it off. Take it off.
• 4:01
  And still, you gotta admit that's pretty funny. He said, it's funny,
• 4:03
  but take it off. So I'm holding my phone. He goes,
• 4:06
  it's still there. It's still there. Like we're literally in front of each
• 4:09
  other. I've got the baby in my arms and he's like, it's still
• 4:11
  there. I was like, oh my god, Okay, so I took
• 4:14
  it off. Then I was mad because I felt censored once again in this
• 4:16
  world. And I'm like, I am tired of it. Let me be
• 4:19
  me. I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to. And he's like,
• 4:21
  no, but this is a guy. He's got four people. Mom Seriously,
• 4:26
  why did you even allow this troll to take get power over you?
• 4:30
  I said, I don't know, but there was something about what I said
• 4:31
  back to him that relieved me of that, Like I was good. So
• 4:36
  anyway, so you do have those moments that you just want to fight back
• 4:40
  against these nuisances. Somebody was bitter. I think I even know who this
• 4:44
  person is. And you know what, those people though that saw it,
• 4:48
  whether it was the coach or those players, they loved it. It's kind
• 4:51
  of like when I see a troll say something mean to one of mine,
• 4:55
  it gives me such this sense of joy, like yues somebody said it.
• 4:58
  Somebody's fighting for me exactly. So I get why you wanted to. I'm
• 5:02
  like the kids. You know, I don't say it, but I do
• 5:05
  get why you wanted to. And I know that those kids loved it.
• 5:10
  Yeah, did get to see. And that's the other thing. All I
• 5:11
  need is validation that like other people, other people know that what I'm talking
• 5:16
  about is the truth, and that somebody, even if they couldn't like it,
• 5:20
  they're going, yeah, look at miss Netterville. She let him have
• 5:24
  it. Deuteronomy, vengeance is mine and recompense. Well, then hurry,
• 5:31
  God, hurry. That's all I ask. Don't go to another patience,
• 5:38
  just saying, if you'd like to, if you like to ask Mama's a
• 5:42
  question for her website. Not only was I censored, I was judged.
• 5:49
  The judgments his too. I'm just showing you what the script I'm googling a
• 5:55
  script. Hold on this one, hold on listen. Thank you so much, Thank you
