Dena and Melissa start the show talking about how weird TikTok was this week, in a good way. Starting with Irish Obama Tok, featuring videos from @syd.jpeg, @duncan.lk, and @buckydeservedbetter10. Creator @_famousavery used the sound to talk about the weird video Howie Mandel posted about a prolapsed rectum. We play another video from @jocelyn.in.ur.ear talking about how Howie overshadowed the weird Doja Cat Noah Schnapp feud.
9:30 - Honest Mom TikTok Feud
We break down the feud between @diaryofanhonestmom and another “honest mom” who’s plagiarizing her content. We love a take from @justanotherprgirl on how personalities should deal with feuds like this. Jen Shah take note.
17:20 - Door Dasher Dog TikTok Story
The wholesome TikTok story of the week goes to @markp_. He felt terrible about accidentally yelling at his Door Dasher. TikTok came to the rescue and connected him with the Dasher so he could apologize. And Door Dash (@doordash) joined in to give him praise and a raise!
22:20 - NYC TikTok, Tree Touch My Shoulder Trend
Dena complains about seeing too many videos about the spa on Governors Island on her For You Page. The tree touch my shoulder trend is talking over TikTok, featuring @iammichaelkeith and @pooksapotheca.
27:20 - Blankie Tok
We have to shout out @kirby_j for this incredibly relatable blankie video. We have found our people on Blankie Tok.

Dena and Melissa start the show talking about Dena’s recent trip to Portugal and Melissa’s therapist’s advice. One of the few things that made us laugh about recent events is this TikTok from @ricorico122.
12:15 - Stitch Trend
The first trend is a stitch question asking, “What’s a scam that’s become so normalized we don’t even realize it’s a scam anymore?” The original comes from @debtcollective. We feature a stitch from @jamylecannon.
14:30 - Account Spotlight: @nycsanition
This account is killing it on TikTok with funny parodies, skits, and unexpected content from a sanitation department.
17:20 - Man-on-the-Street Trends
Melissa is obsessed with Ted from one of @shanrizwan’s NYC interview videos. His entire account is filled with delightful man-on-the-NYC-street content. Meanwhile, @blakebachert1’s experience with people is the exact opposite. Everyone at Walmart hates him. Shout out to our past guest and Washington Square Park’s favorite TikTok interview show @whatspoppinshow.
26:15 - Duet Food Trend
A video by @alimppp is going around where they dip full size Hershey bars into a peanut butter jar and eventually make banana pancakes. One duet comes from @chefreactions. We’d eat it.
28:15 He’s a 10 but…
This last trend is one of our favorites. Featuring examples from @dangraf_, @official.nilla, and @mikkiraymond. We even toss around a few scenarios ourselves.

After a brief hiatus thanks to the ‘vid, we’re back in action. This week's show is broken into three sections: Food, trending audios, and why we love TikTok.
FOOD TRENDS
Quinoa chocolate bars (@saltnsprinkles) lead the food trends this week, along with Healthy Diet Coke by @mandyvjones.
TRENDING AUDIOS
A clip from Love Island about sitting down is going viral. We love one from @ryanair about Timothy Chalamet. A stitch with @ring.swald.egan about office life is also trending, featuring a video from @win_the_job. A sped up version of Angeleyes by Abba is also trending. Paris Hilton (@parishilton), Stacey’s Chip (@stacy.madison), and Too Turnt Tony (@tooturnttony) have funny takes on the trend. The next audio uses “Turn Down for What” by DJ Snake and Lil Jon getting interrupted by Google Maps. @injectormissviv uses it to show the Kardashians’ butts then and now.
WHY WE LOVE TIKTOK
After @danielswall created a TikTok about songwriter Ryan Tedder (@realryantedde), he duetted it and the followers have poured in. Taylor Swift shouted out TikTok at the Tribeca Film Festival (video by @samarramy) and its influence on the music industry.
