Dena and Melissa start the show discussing Dena’s marathon and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Then, we get right into trends starting with a stitch from @_anastasiagracia_ asking about different community drama on TikTok, including crochet drama (featuring a video from @dxvotie), Bratz doll drama (from @joolieannie), and ant group drama (from @nustellart).

User @itsnitababyyy posted a video with the line, “How much do you get paid?” And people stitch it with their salary. A viral one by @andrewkozaktv talked about local TV salaries.  

18:50 - Duolingo TikTok, Dance and Audio Trends

User @asianbobbyhill found the mastermind behind the brand’s TikTok account using Linkedin. We hear why Duolingo is doing so well on TikTok from @jazsocial_. A song by MOREART inspired a dance trend for when you’re going to eat. Our favorite is from a law firm @jonathanwjohnson_llc. Another audio trend pulls from “Big Mouth,” Nick Kroll (@nickkroll) himself made a TikTok with a quote from the show. As the holidays approach, a line from “Elf” is also trending.

Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) has taken over TikTok after dropping Red (Taylor’s Version). Will Daniels aka Mr. Feeny even posted a promo for Taylor’s new album (@subpargrace). And Taylor commented! We dive into the “not Taylor Swift” account conspiracy theory. User @farebear6 showcases all the brands commenting on Taylor Tok. Taylor posts a video using a trending sound with Selena Gomez. And CJ Donald @attorneycj reports on how men in the music industry have underestimated Taylor Swift. 

34:30 - Miniature TikTok, Kyle Scheele

Weirdly, there’s been a lot of miniature content on TikTok. By that, we mean one man built a mini lego version of his house (@alex_falcone), @slimetownusa built a snail version of The Great British Bake Off, and @worldsbestdogdad built his dogs a mini apartment. Kyle Scheele (@kylescheele) is going viral after making a giant cardboard cutout of himself and placing it in a random gas station. User @toddlertok made a similar promo with his daughter. Melissa points out the differences between comments on Instagram vs TikTok after seeing a video by @demibagby about money flying on the San Diego freeway on both platforms.
