Pride, Playoffs & Popsicles: June on TikTok

Let’s go Knicks! This week, Dena is joined by Melissa, and they kick things off with the only thing more dramatic than TikTok: Knicks playoff basketball and the Tony Awards. From Broadway superfans to basketball fans suddenly discovering musical theater, they break down the crossover content taking over their FYPs. Featuring a video from @jbjams. Then it’s time for Pride Month TikTok, including a hilariously catchy “gay song” by Meg Stalter that’s been impossible to escape (content from @lisarinnaofficial and @carson_shofner). Dena shares a trio of bizarre stories making the rounds (@digtheplot), a horseback-riding video that sparked debate (@tiffanybutts1), and a McDonald’s discovery that has people talking (@alex_hummer). Meanwhile, Melissa’s FYP is serving Noah Kahan content (@periodicallymommy). They also dive into New York City observations (@liv.talmage), and a surprisingly passionate discussion about Dairy Queen in NYC. Lastly, they discuss food trends, including Keith Lee’s (@keith_lee125) viral blueberry matcha review and the Outshine fruit bar and Fruit Roll-Up snack hack (@chelsearlarson).
