August 2023 TikTok Trends: Rushtok + more!
Big news in the 2 Old 4 TikTok world! At the top of the episode Dena and Catalina discuss how they will now be releasing WEEKLY episodes. That’s right, they’re finally bringing you all the latest trends and commentary at the pace the algorithm demands (or something more like it). For topics first up is Rushtok, which just wrapped up, including videos by @bamarushtok1 and some of this “season’s” most well-known characters; @on_thedaily_with_morgan and @bellagracegates. Catalina’s algorithm knows she refuses to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet, like @nicollevieira04, and Dena discusses the one-day-that-changed-your-life-forever trend. The content creator of the week is @amandashultz_ and the ladies also highlight @robhomecook for a very accurate ranking of tinned fish options. Lots of learning on TikTok this week: Catalina shares @somm_vivant’s discussion of universal wine glasses and Dena discusses The Happy Urbanist’s explanation of guardrails and the ensuing parody by @ethangarz. To close, the girls discuss the concept of going to the club in the morning as introduced by @marthagraeff, wife of a DJ. Check out all the videos we mention and more on our blog (2old4tiktok.com), Instagram (@2old4tiktokpod), and TikTok (@2old4tiktok_podcast).

August 2023 TikTok Trends
On today’s pod Catalina and Dena start off with their weekend in NYC which takes them to the topic of the Europe Test, described by @emmatopp. The algorithm is also serving Catalina ice cream (@asmrdecomida) and Dena is learning about the concept of “girl math” from creators like @fvhzm, @samjamessssss, and @channingstatum. After an unfortunate update about the Attenzione pickpocket lady they delve into some newer audio trends, including @madelineargy’s plea to find out what DJs really do which was, of course, turned into a remix featured in videos by creators like @loudluxury. Additional audio trends include the European dance song by @kylegordonisgreat and the so-called “Ken Milkshake” by @anikahjayne. Their content creator spotlight of the week is @mollybmcpherson and @alabamabarker, daughter of Travis Barker, is featured as the latest celeb drawing attention on the app. For food and drink trends the girls discuss the omelet from the Bear (@gourmetgab) and their very disparate feelings on a McDonald's ice cream creation. Finally, they wrap up with a quick chat regarding @therealqueenofversailles who has returned to the public eye full force and is featuring a very confusing simulation of a private jet in her living room.

July 2023 TikTok Trends Part 2
Thank you for the rose! This week on 2 Old 4 TikTok Dena and Catalina begin by chatting about the NPC trend started by @pinkydoll and inspiring creators like @thanksvision to go live also. After an update on Attenzione Pickpocket by @saporeditrash they turn to what their algorithms want them to see lately. Dena is getting Wendy Williams clips from @dylangg and Catalina is getting an odd mix of office seating (@saraovershares) and Jewish day school comedy (@michalgspan). Next up is audio, with @amandamccants speaking only in TikTok audio trends, the Prado Casso edit (@chima2x and @misaaa.soup) and the song of the summer Padam Padam. They touch base on the age filter trend before chatting about Jessica Biel @jessbiel joining the app. @sarontings reports that Raquel/Rachel Leviss is also on the platform with a private account, and the ladies are trying as hard as possible to get that coveted follower acceptance! Finally, they wrap up with a slew of food highlights and trends, including boozy jellycakes reviewed by @infatuation_nyc, @charlyannec discussing her carvery haul, and of course the Girl Dinner phenomena encapsulated in videos by @thatdarnchat, @therealmrs.capps, @todayshow, and @actressbecc.
