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). Discover what’s trending on TikTok this week with Dena and Melissa.

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.
