Want more exclusive content from Dinky? Join the Patreon!

This week, Erika takes Kristen down a rabbit hole she wishes she could un-visit — the disturbing story of Mike and Heather Martin, the couple behind the infamous DaddyOFive YouTube channel. What started as a "family prank" account quickly became one of the most notorious examples of child exploitation on the internet.

We cover:

• How the DaddyO5 channel grew to 750,000 subscribers and an estimated $200K–$350K annually — and what was really happening behind the camera
• The "invisible ink" prank video that broke the internet
• The role of biological mom Rose Hall and the custody battle that followed
• What actually happened in court (spoiler: not enough)
• Where the family is now
