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.
