Goodbye TikTok?: Red Note, Heidi Montag, and bidding farewell to our Chinese spies

Is TikTok over? The girls kick off this week’s episode with discussion of the looming TikTok ban and Dena’s denial that the platform is going away in the USA. In one of the most hilarious (and potentially last) eras of TikTok trends, people are making their way to Chinese App Red Note, with creators like @cameronjerrard, @kathleenlinpan, and @jessiejbro_ joining in on the conversation. Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt is also working overtime in the app’s ninth hour to bring Heidi’s song I’ll Do It to number one on streaming platforms in the wake of the California fires, with celebrities like Flava Flav, Diplo, and former cast members from The Hills Joining in. Dena shares the comedy gold coming out of the season finale of TikTok from her FYP including commentary on people’s “Chinese Spy” (@yanxiao1003) and what people are and aren’t willing to do if the app goes away (@gabriella.rose.music, @adrierising). Catalina lost her voice but tries as hard as possible to discuss Bad Bunny’s new album, including videos by @chrisbechillin0 and @_eunicejimenez. They wrap up with a parody learning on TikTok (@mrburgies), an update on the frozen popcorn trend, and Catalina’s big back anecdotes.
