This week we are joined by Ashley, friend of the pod, to discuss the TikTok trends you need to know. First up they unpack The Danish Deception (a 20-part story) by @onyekaehie. Then they discuss the internet’s recent obsession with Bode bags (@jessilynnsta, @caitlinarigreen). And of course Dena’s FYP knows she’s pregnant so sweet Starbucks drinks (@locoludwicks) and tasty carvel concoctions (@rantwithrobert) are discussed. And for Ashley, it’s bravo bravo f*cking bravoCON (@katericcio, @bravotv). And is Kevin James pretending to be an art teacher (@thisismatttaylor)? @moviemanmanman gives his take. It wouldn’t be a November episode without mentioning Wicked and it wouldn’t be an Ashley episode without Chili’s and so we bring you @gagebriney. The two end with a reminder that BeanTok is still alive & well (@marlenecocoabean, @reareagurl, @guthealthguru).   Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).
