Long-time friend and Tiktok storytime megastar Kareem Wilson joined us...two and a half years ago. This is a never-before-heard time capsule of Kareem's start and early rise to fame on Tiktok, not long after it started happening. This has been one of me and Andy's favorites to talk about personally for a long time now, and I'm excited to get to finally share it with you.
