Dena is finally learning about (@fjdn382f) and laughing about comparisons to (@_zorah.mae) white tube top girl. Dena’s FYP is also showing her content from this week’s co-host, @ashleyrosayy (please help her go viral).

We saw articles saying something called “Skeleton Brunch” is going viral on TikTok and potentially causing harm to teens. But we can’t find anything about it. It might just be bringing a toy skeleton to a diner with you.

This week on TikTok it’s all about Burning Man: from its negative qualities (@acesculptrix) and traffic (@thedestinations), to burner archetypes (@stopitparis) and muddy showers (@angiepeacockmsw), and the thousands of festival-goers who got stuck in the mud (@shoddylynn, @laylamolayem, @user919818233). After a long discussion about all things trench foot the girls turn to the other latest videos on their algorithms. For Catalina it’s Spanish creator @elcromass, and for Dena it’s @dani_lyle talking about doing a film project instead of writing an essay. As usual, their algorithms synced in some ways, with both ladies coming across another video about school projects by @teachersoffdutypodcast. After touching upon Gwyneth Paltrow’s unhinged video for @seed they move on to the food and drink realm of TikTok, including @trainwithshay’s hacks for Starbucks drinks and @hauskris’s discussion of the perfect Diet Coke break. @roxyfacer brings some BIG news in the world of learning on TikTok and the ladies close with a convo about the pickle sweatshirt, featuring a video by @jonthrifts. Sadly, for the second week in a row, they do not have time to discuss how @matthewjones898 ate a chicken from Costco.

They share @graciewiener’s excellent rundown of the fugitive fowl’s walkabout in the park before turning to a trend that the girls have already had more than enough of: the bold glamor filter. As a very necessary palate cleanser Dena and Catalina discuss the exponential rise of @octopusslover8, whose crowd sourced impressions have everyone clamoring for more. Next, they take a moment to congratulate @rohitroygre on making it to a whopping 1000 days of no fizzy drinks before moving on to some of the latest food trends across the platform. Creators like @Halleykate and @narratedblack are trying their luck with yellow dragon fruit, and @kaykaysday’s ice cream wrapped in a Fruit Roll-up is a divisive subject for Dena and Catalina. Audio trends are next on the agenda, with this week’s popular tracks including Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine, Love Me Back (Fayahh Beat) by Trinidad Cardona, and the sped up version of Green Green Grass by George Ezra. Finally, the girls couldn’t say goodbye without touching base about the Vanderpump Rules drama that quickly replaced the Selena Gomez/Hailey Beiber feud as the celebrity gossip du jour.

Ashley takes a hard right turn into a video by @_djlopes_ about his colonoscopy journey (A+ for editing). Is Dena moonlighting as @fegglestonnn and talking about her love for Lincoln Square AMC? She thinks it “walks on water” (shoutout to @emmaneedsgrace for her Christian Slang). You’ll have to listen to find out. Dena shares the latest update from @raechristine___ on her viral green dress video. A sucker for slapstick, Dena also shares the hilarious trip of @carlaphall and @nothingbutkap’s reaction video.

FOOD TRENDS

Quinoa chocolate bars (@saltnsprinkles) lead the food trends this week, along with Healthy Diet Coke by @mandyvjones. 

TRENDING AUDIOS

WHY WE LOVE TIKTOK  

After @danielswall created a TikTok about songwriter Ryan Tedder (@realryantedde), he duetted it and the followers have poured in. Taylor Swift shouted out TikTok at the Tribeca Film Festival (video by @samarramy) and its influence on the music industry.
