Late November 2023 TikTok trends: F1, Brands, Enrique Iglesias + more

After a brief hiatus while Dena gave birth to a whole human baby, the girls are back and ready to talk about TikTok! They kick off the episode with some videos sent to the group chat, including @gabbyisbryan talking about her amazing day and @hooper_pooper_scooper leaving her mark on one of the wonders of the world. New mother Dena shares FYP highlights (yes, she is still very much watching TikTok) including a baby trying nerds gummy clusters (@jada_kohl), and Lindsey Vonn’s comeback (@jcubedhax), and @more.monaee trying out for the Olympic handball team. Catalina discusses @lexmcneil showing people what it’s like to be 4’11 and @peteballmercomedy categorizing your friends. Next up Catalina shares a belated update on her trip to the Smize pop-up. They unveil a new segment on TV and Movies, spotlighting videos about Traitors (@comedyadamf, @jordanrafael_) and the seemingly-unending content surrounding Heated Rivalry (and they’re definitely not mad about it). Wrapping up, it’s celebrities on TikTok, and the latest addition to the platform is a very beloved @celinedion.    Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).

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).
