On this week’s episode of 2Old4TikTok, Dena is joined by Melissa, Co-Founder of the pod, while Catalina settles down from her travels in Brazil. We start off with Nikki Blonsky Tiktok Cameos, featuring content from @theanwarali and @kylegfil_. And easily transition into Broadway TikTok with a video from @andrewpatino. The best part of TikTok is the comments, as displayed by trending content that asks viewers for responses like this one from @missfrizzyhead. Melissa’s FYP really said “For You” with videos about weird anxiety from @toricadogan and @kendotzee. We love @leahdaviscomedy’s take on Andy Cohen’s fan questions. Dena and Melissa discuss the latest Food Tok trends like Stuffed Tomatoes from @bigpapahannah, innocuous food podcasters @mdfoodieboyz, and the return of @emilymariko (but she never actually left). We end with our favorite Bethenny Frankel recapper @elaziee.    Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).

On this week’s episode of 2Old4TikTok, Dena is joined by Ashley, friend of the pod, while Catalina wears adult diapers on her flight to Brazil.

They talk about other themes from the week including Hozier’s yell (@rachelspicer_, @_coleslaw128) and always Chili’s (@calebsaysthings). We learn from Doechii, herself, about her song “Anxiety” as a follow-up to last week (@iamdoechii_). Dena’s FYP taught us what Dinosaur Time is (@sahmthingsup, @mamabearl_e) and we learned how much Bran Flakezz made in a year (@yourrichbff). And of course what FYP page would be complete without millennial content (@lizleatrice). Ashley’s FYP was serving Gaga while Gaga was serving reheated nachos (@monstershq). We then head to NYC for some boring influencer beef (@cedonifrancis, @opinionatedhag) before hearing about Ashley’s failed attempt at the viral cottage cheese bagels (@bethennyfrankel).   Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).
