This Week on TikTok: World Cup, Beantok, Audio Trends, Shady Acres Buffet and more!

This week on 2 Old 4 TikTok, Dena and Catalina dive into the TikToks taking over their FYPs, starting with the World Cup. Some favorites are: so women don’t get Messi (@placesitookashitagain) and one about Beyonce (@andrewnucatola). For Dena’s FYP she somehow finds herself on Beanstok again (@afaithfulhomemaker), funny videos about the parasite (@thejonnycakes) and the Magic School Bus (@ariieeeeeee), and she’s still getting penny deal TikToks (@tylernapdeals). Catalina shares the latest Spanish-language World Cup trends, including the viral "Oh Ferrán" audio (@rocioodomingo and @javibridgee3), the high school "incident" (@nowahwhyse), and sneaky AI videos (@composedbykay). They also cover this week's biggest trending sounds, including Beyoncé's "Partition" (@keke.janajah) a nostalgic look back at the Savage dance craze, and Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" trend (@taylorgodbeyy). Finally, they wrap up with food TikTok, featuring NYC's Diet Coke Crawl (@laurenelarkin) and the unexpectedly viral Shady Acres Buffet in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (@candysaladmolly and @lunalove2).

Hood News & Noah Kahan’s Poop Story

This week, Dena and Melissa are back diving into the TikToks taking over their FYPs. Dena brings “hood news” reporting (@big_chinaa23), a funny Museum of Ice Cream experience worthy of AFV (@farenbrevett), a Kenyan politician clip making the rounds (@anisa_nandaula), and a millennial voicemail impression that feels painfully familiar (@stehfuhnee_). Melissa’s side of TikTok is fully in performance mode with Molly Long choreography (@mollylong21) and Jimmy Awards (@jimmyawards) talent that has Broadway dreams alive and well. Plus: Harry Styles and Noah Kahan concert clips. And a deep dive into the poop drama at Noah’s Philly concert (storytime by @shannoniscryingagain).

A Pisces and a Gemini Talk June TikTok Trends

The city of New York is still riding the Knicks high with some incredible parade content from the now infamous twerker (@sophpassalaqua, @tmz). The Europeans are still taking over the USA and bringing us lots of great moments: from the Norwegians rowing chant on the NYC subway (@lilssob/) to the Scots in Miami (@fraserglen796). And let’s not forget Norwegian player Erling Haaland’s Birkin collection (@jack.savoie). Dena’s FYP takes a hard right into Jojo Siwa territory with content from her “cruise” (@benoftheweek) and of course there’s always time for Tyra Banks content - this time it’s her book (@lordes3rdalbum) and defunct theme park (question mark?) (@holdensmith962). And based on the “What’s your coffee order?” trend, Dena will be drinking pure sugar (@mrs.sarahann). Ashley is getting some intense workout content about a Corepower diehard (@rellimrolyat) and more Love Island from one of her favorite creators, @themarcosgonzalez. A creator spotlight is shone on @jacobjeffries who has been creating some incredibly catchy tunes (“wooly mammoth and a mastodon!”). And a Chipotle corn salsa hack in the food section is going to be a definite YES for Ashley but not Dena (@makeupmaddie). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Most Sport Episode: June TikTok Trends

Dena is joined by Ashley, friend of the pod, for an episode filled with sports! Newly crowned NBA Champions, the New York Knicks, are first and foremost on their FYPs. With videos about Timothee Chalamet getting champagne (@espn), KAT showing his softer side (@geofftakes), OG’s stoicism (@nbaskitguy), Jalen Brunson winning MVP (@houseofhighlights), Josh Hart not getting the love in LA (@chau.ngo84), and Mikael Bridges being grandma’s favorite player (@chelsealynn1205), videos from the starting 5 are plentiful. Then it’s onto FIFA World Cup mayhem! And specifically how much our visitors are enjoying this country… they’re excited (@fox4newsdallasfortworth). The Scots are absolutely taking over Boston (@jaclyntess) - from Fenway (@cbssportsgolazo) to the cop slide (@mohzify). There are Swedes experiencing Waffle House for the first time (@sampev2), Koreans partying in Mexico (@jungnankang), and a German named Freddy who is getting the star U.S.A. treatment (@karlwarnerpxp). But a video by @mrsmessyquan reminds them that Americans don’t even realize we’re in the tournament, too. Dena’s FYP told her how to remember how to spell diarrhea (@shitterz.72) while Ashley was dropped off in Sam Smith’s mukbang TikTok (@sam.served). And of course, it’s Love Island season so there are plenty of memes and recaps like this one by Coach Jackie J (@jcubedhax). And lastly, Dena is committed to trying The Beast in NYC at some point this summer (@meggiesteiger).

Pride, Playoffs & Popsicles: June on TikTok

Let’s go Knicks! This week, Dena is joined by Melissa, and they kick things off with the only thing more dramatic than TikTok: Knicks playoff basketball and the Tony Awards. From Broadway superfans to basketball fans suddenly discovering musical theater, they break down the crossover content taking over their FYPs. Featuring a video from @jbjams. Then it’s time for Pride Month TikTok, including a hilariously catchy “gay song” by Meg Stalter that’s been impossible to escape (content from @lisarinnaofficial and @carson_shofner). Dena shares a trio of bizarre stories making the rounds (@digtheplot), a horseback-riding video that sparked debate (@tiffanybutts1), and a McDonald’s discovery that has people talking (@alex_hummer). Meanwhile, Melissa’s FYP is serving Noah Kahan content (@periodicallymommy). They also dive into New York City observations (@liv.talmage), and a surprisingly passionate discussion about Dairy Queen in NYC. Lastly, they discuss food trends, including Keith Lee’s (@keith_lee125) viral blueberry matcha review and the Outshine fruit bar and Fruit Roll-Up snack hack (@chelsearlarson).

TikTok Audio Trends, NYC Froyo Revival, and Exercise Tok

Podcast founder Melissa joins Dena this week since Catalina is still away. Similar to last week, this week’s guest host also airs her grievances with the pod as of late. Starting with audio trends, “Melissaaaa I’m drunk and outsiiiideeee” has been trending (examples from @stevenandluke and @sarahu192). Dena’s FYP includes a surprising lack of Eurovision content, Hyatt devaluation points breakdown (thanks to @carielizabethh), and a Trader Joe’s money opportunity from @erica_tara. Melissa’s FYP is full of “quick and easy” exercise transformation videos (i.e. @juliiaannne), Qigong tutorials, and jaw release videos (featuring a stitch with LeAnn Rimes from @lazor.lanson). NYC TikTok is all about who’s lining up for what, and this week it’s Mimi’s yogurt (video from @imjuhm). Dena and Melissa contemplate hacking their spouse’s algorithm like @lmcanty. And @valinthebay’s take on slow walkers ignites Melissa’s latest hot take.

May TikTok Trends with Friend of the Pod

This episode, we are joined by Ashley (friend of the pod) in Catalina’s absence. She begins the episode with an airing of grievances along with an update on the Danish Deception. And then it’s onto Met Gala with the belle of the ball: red flats girl (@thatssosavannah, @redflatsqueen, @holdensmith962). As we move to Dena’s FYP, she has content about how difficult it is to do the worm (@carlyhalitzer) as well as a feel-good PSA story time on why we should all take our AirPods out (@mollyyyyyyyyyyy4). Ashley’s FYP looks a little different with gourmet potato spreads by @kacy_ja, ancient Chinese art techniques/a reminder for bedtime (@joycelacquer), and finally an update on the Darien Solidcore drama by the man of the hour himself, @anthonyrfesta. They then discuss the latest audio trend, the top 5 horror movies (@malllycat) along with the Tertulia field report on how Everton drew off after a shower (@taylorbrown5353). Finally they end with a new trend where we just throw drinks in our friends faces (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkK2KcRb/).
