https://open.spotify.com/episode/7FgOzOuPl7FNKi7h3iDnoz?si=JVH_sJNLRGOT8lNFDpLNIg

Seena Ghaznavi (@seenanow) joins 2Old4TikTok this week!

Dena and Seena met through a mutual friend and instantly bonded over their love of TikTok. Turns out, they’ve both been the annoying friend in the group trying to convince everyone else to join TikTok.

With a background in both comedy and law, Seena shares his perspective on TikTok as a new medium and its impact on the world at large. Spoiler alert: It’s destroying civilization. But it’s fine, we’ve actually been destroying ourselves for long before TikTok came along.

We pick his brain to discuss what kind of comedy works on TikTok and what constitutes fraud on the app.

Frauds on TikTok

As co-host of his own podcast, Fraudsters (@fraudsterslpn) on the Last Podcast Network (@lastpodnetwork), we thought it would be fun to discuss the many elements of fraud on TikTok with Seena.

Julia Keith’s (@julia_keith_) mocking dance was taken out of context:

Someone created a fake TikTok for Oprah. Although it quickly garnered tons of followers, it was also quickly taken down.

John Robert Bell (@jorobe) and Miss Kadie (@thatveganteacher)

We break down the feud between John Robert Bell (@jorobe) and Miss Kadie aka That Vegan Teacher (@thatveganteacher).

Trisha Paytas (@trishlikefish88)

And of course we describe the ultimate TikTok fraud, Trisha Paytas.

Seena’s Favorite Creators

We come out of the bleak side of TikTok and back into the light with Seena telling us some of his favorite creators:

@tooturnttony

@nardwuar

@youngyosa

@itsalanr

We wrap up with a lightning round asking Seena about his favorite fraudsters, the worst thing people have said about TikTok, the best thing people have said about TikTok, and his advice for podcasters.
