If you are over the age of, say, 14, you might not be familiar with daughter-father duo Salish and Jordan Matter. But if you are a parent of a Gen Alpha kid<\/a>, it can feel like you hear about nothing but Salish and Jordan Matter. Their YouTube videos \u2014 a high-octane mix of zany challenges, games and hijinks \u2014 are admittedly hard to resist, which may be why they rake in millions of views as soon as they blast into the social media universe.<\/p>\n In Sunday Funday, L.A. people give us a play-by-play of their ideal Sunday around town. Find ideas and inspiration on where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on the weekends.<\/p>\n Sixteen-year-old Salish was in elementary school when she started appearing in her father\u2019s YouTube videos and the channel is like a time capsule of her childhood \u2014 or, well, the most public, heavily produced version of it. There\u2019s the day Salish turned her house into a waterpark<\/a> (73 million views) or the night she had a secret sleepover in a mall<\/a> (31 million views) or the time she survived 100 babysitters in 24 hours<\/a> (61 million views). \u201cA blessing and a curse for me is that we\u2019ve documented it all,\u201d says Jordan, whose background is in photography. \u201cI have these beautiful videos of her when she was 10. I was just watching them 30 minutes ago and was like, oh wow, it feels like yesterday.\u201d <\/p>\n Now their creator journey is taking a new turn. Salish and Jordan recently signed a deal with Netflix to develop, produce and star in original projects \u2014 it\u2019s the largest such creator partnership for the streaming giant. Their show, \u201cSalish & Jordan Matter,\u201d reached Netflix\u2019s Top 10 this month. Beyond the screen, the duo co-founded the popular teen skincare brand Sincerely Yours<\/a>. (The launch of one glossy lip balm<\/a> brought 2,000 fans to the Santa Monica Pier earlier this summer.) <\/p>\n It\u2019s been a wild ride for the pair, but despite their snowballing fame, they swear they\u2019re like any other dad and daughter who bicker, joke around and simply enjoy each other\u2019s company. <\/p>\n \u201cI think we\u2019re pretty chill, right?\u201d Jordan says. <\/p>\n \u201cYeah, we\u2019re pretty chill,\u201d Salish agrees.<\/p>\n Here they share what they\u2019d do together on a Sunday Funday around their South Bay home, noting that a perfect day would involve the whole family, including mom Lauren Matter and Salish\u2019s 20-year-old brother, Hudson Matter. <\/p>\n This interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/p>\n 10 a.m.: Wake up and debate the day\u2019s options <\/b><\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Salish, what time would you actually wake up? <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>Probably like 10. <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>OK, so we\u2019re sleeping in until 10. Then why don\u2019t we go get breakfast? We\u2019ll go to Ocean Diner<\/b><\/a> in Hermosa Beach. We\u2019ll both get huevos rancheros and fresh orange juice. And then I would love to go get coffee at Boy and the Bear<\/b><\/a> in Redondo Beach. <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>Or Two Guns<\/b><\/a>!<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>No, I prefer Boy and the Bear. <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>Oh, I prefer Two Guns. <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Well, if we go to Two Guns, Salish would get the avocado toast. <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>No, the chai! It\u2019s so good! <\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> OK, well, if Salish has an opinion, that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. But later today, one thing I would love is a bike ride on the beach. Are you still down? <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>[High-pitched voice] Yeah.<\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> Did you hear that voice?! That tone is like, \u201cYeah, but not for much longer.\u201d <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> [Laughs] No, I like doing bike rides with you! It\u2019s just that I don\u2019t know how much of a \u201cbiker\u201d I am. <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>You\u2019re not one. <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> I\u2019m not. <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>But you have an electric bike! You just have to go like [makes e-bike revving motion] vvrrrrrruurr. <\/p>\n 11:15 a.m.: Shopping and soup dumplings <\/b><\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> The next thing we\u2019re going to do is \u2026 <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> Go to the mall! I like picking out new outfits for him because every day he just wears a black T-shirt.<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>OK, and if we\u2019re going to go to Del Amo<\/b><\/a> mall, we\u2019ll have lunch at \u2026<\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> Oh, Din Tai Fung<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Which means we\u2019ll have to put our name on the waiting list. <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>It\u2019s like a two-hour wait.<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>So we\u2019ll put our name down right after breakfast. And then we\u2019ll shop for clothes before our reservation.<\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>I\u2019ll go to Aritzia <\/b>and probably Garage<\/b>. And then you\u2019ll go to Express <\/b>and Levi\u2019s<\/b>. I go to PacSun<\/b> a lot too but normally I don\u2019t find anything there. I always wear sweats and hoodies \u2014 literally just sweats and hoodies. <\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> Also tank tops. Salish doesn\u2019t like to repeat outfits on videos, so she does need at least one new outfit a week.<\/p>\n And I\u2019ll just follow her around. I\u2019ll be like, \u2018Oh, that looks good.\u2019 And she\u2019ll be like, \u2018No, it doesn\u2019t.\u2019 And I\u2019ll be like, \u2018No, it looks really good.\u2019 And she\u2019ll be like, \u2018You\u2019re just saying that.\u2019 And then she\u2019ll ask, \u2018Which color?\u2019 I\u2019ll say the blue, and then she\u2019ll get the pink. And I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m glad I could be helpful.\u2019 So that\u2019s how shopping with Salish goes. Then finally, there\u2019s Din Tai Fung. <\/p>\n 3 p.m.: An afternoon by the ocean<\/b> <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Then we would leave the mall because I\u2019m not gonna be there all day. We\u2019re gonna go paddleboarding in Long Beach, in the Naples Canals <\/b>area. We love anything with water, right? We love vacationing in Lake Tahoe, swimming and boating. <\/p>\n Then we would probably go for a bike ride along the Strand<\/b><\/a>. I would vote for pulling over and having dinner. There\u2019s a really good taco place right near the Hermosa Beach Pier called Palmilla Cocina Y Tequila<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>[Winces slightly] I\u2019m not gonna lie. I don\u2019t really like tacos.<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Salish is an absolutely impossible eater. All she eats is Chipotle<\/b>. She\u2019s a vegetarian but she\u2019s a picky vegetarian, so that combo makes it almost impossible for her to find food anywhere. But she\u2019d get the black beans and rice and tortillas and cheese and mix it all together.<\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> Yeah.<\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> See, I basically know everything about you.<\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>And you would get the chicken! <\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Yes. <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> I knew it. But you have to make sure it\u2019s white meat.<\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> White meat chicken, mole, enchiladas \u2014 yum!<\/p>\n 8 p.m.: Family hang time<\/b><\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Now if there\u2019s a good horror or suspense movie out, I might convince Salish to go. But that would be a tough sell. So maybe we\u2019ll go back home. We just got a pool, so that\u2019s exciting. And late nights in the pool has become a thing. We might play ping pong or a board game. <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> Then my brother and I would probably just chill and talk in one of our rooms. He doesn\u2019t live here so we try to talk as much as we can while he\u2019s home.<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>Our family isn\u2019t looking for big things to have fun \u2014 just time together. We just talk and hang out. With Salish, we talk about work but I\u2019m also super interested in what her everyday life is like. You know, from the time she was young, I feel like I treated her like an adult in a way and we\u2019ve always had real conversations. That\u2019s made it easier as she\u2019s grown up. It feels comfortable having these types of conversations. <\/p>\n Salish:<\/b> Also, I\u2019m a great kid, so like \u2026<\/p>\n Jordan:<\/b> Of course, of course. You are such a great kid. But you were a spitfire when you were little, I\u2019ll say! <\/p>\n Salish: <\/b>[Laughs]<\/p>\n Jordan: <\/b>It\u2019s a joy. It\u2019s a joy to be with her every day.<\/p>\n ![\"Sunday](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768562772_959_.png\")
