I'm Rich Ferguson.
Hi. Hey. Nice to meet you.
How are you?
We're filming a social experiment
And the one we're doing today is "Would a kid take candy from a stranger?"
Do you want to see if your kid would?
Do you have a kid out here that you would be willing to let me try that with?
Sure, yeah.
I have Joshua.
What do you think they're gonna do?
I don't know.
That's a good question because I've thought about that.
You wanna see what would happen?
Yeah. Okay.
Would you be interested in seeing if they would take candy for me?
Yeah, yeah.
Try 'em.
And then so the two kids right here, right?
I don't want to do the wrong kids.
That could be a whole nother video
With me in it next.
Okay.
That would be kind of humorous
Is that cool with you?
Sounds horrifying, but yeah.
Hey, it's whose shoe?
Whose shoe is it?
Oh, is that candy in it?
That's weird.
You know you don't take candy from strangers right?
Yeah, you guys want some?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait. Wait. I'm a stranger though,
But I thought you don't know me
But you still want some?
But you don't know me.
But, wait a second.
You don't know me.
You just said I'm a stranger, but you want some?
What's your favorite flavor?
Chocolate!

Wait, but am I a stranger?
No.
I'm not? Why?
Because I've been talking to you?
How am I your friend now?
Because I've been hanging out of you for a couple of minutes?
Oh no.
See that's what bad people do though, right?
Because I could pretend to be your friend.
So here ask your dad if you can get some candy.

Are you hypnotized by the candy?
Is that what's really happening here?
We have to ask your parents first, right?
We should go do that.
Come on. Let's skate down there.

Yeah, here. Let's ask your dad. Come here.
Are you supposed to take candy from strangers?
Huh?
Um... We were playing with the girl.
That girl was his dad.
Now are you sure it was her dad?
Yeah.
You sure it was her dad?
I don't know about that.
Do you take candy from Strangers?
She goes "No." And I said, but we're not strangers. We're old friends right? Giggles: "Yeah, yeah"
That's kind of scary, actually.
Thanks.
Oh you bet.
Really made me aware my daughter.
I was like "Oh my God."
You never know.
I mean it seems so elementary, but like a nice guy shows a magic trick or shows him a puppy
You're like stranger danger, but obviously not.
Yeah.
And you said "Yeah, her name's Sue she works out at fdbfgx"
I said "Exactly. That's how I know her."
He told me and I just agreed with him.
Don't trust strangers. Don't.
He's testing you guys.
Remember how last week, we watched that video about the guy going and the ice cream truck and stealing heads yeah?
And I was playing all nice.
I was doing a magic trick things.
Didn't he seem normal?
