Bryan Tassava, rogues in D&D 5e do not get "Extra Attack". You may be thinking of "Two-Weapon Fighting" (PH, p. 195), which explicitly states that "[y]ou don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative." It takes a bonus action for that second attack. The third attack is granted by the Boots of Haste. The Haste spell explicitly states that the extra action, if spent on an Attack action, can only be one weapon attack only (PH, p. 250). The "Dual Wielder" feat does not grant ability modifier damage (PH, p. 165).

If Liam is adding his ability modifier to the damage of his second or third dagger attacks—and since we haven't seen any of his items that grant him that benefit, nor have I seen a houserule to that effect—, then it seems, therefore, that he should not be. As a side note, Brakkis left that comment several months ago, and it certainly looks to me like Mercer has been coaching Liam a little more on rolling damage for the second and third attacks in recent episodes.

For the record, I encourage people to play their own games as they see fit, and I'm unconcerned with which rules are followed or how loosely. I'm just pointing out that Brakkis's comment can't be dismissed simply as a matter of Extra Attack (which Vax shouldn't have) or Two-Weapon Fighting, Dual Wielder, or Haste (none of which work that way). And the benefit of figuring this out is that we can update his character page to reflect any items, houserules, or other traits that might provide the benefit (I just haven't found any yet).
