Whats on your FYP

Trigger warning - talk of child safety

There is a lot going on on Tiktok right now, so the rest of this episode is spent discussing some of the topics.

The girls start off light hearted with Wild Boar, which is exactly what it sounds like - a wild boar running around. If you need a break from reality, they highly recommend it.

Next the girls get into some light hearted chats about Aliens - if they exist or not, and discuss the Aliens in the mall in Florida earlier this year.

One of big topics on Tiktok right now is the looming Tiktok ban. The girls share everything they know, share their opinions, what actions they are taking just in case, and what they think is going to happen.

Last but not least the girls get into the heavy hitter of the week, Wren Elenor and her mother Jacquline. For those who haven't heard about this, Wren is a 4 year old who has been making content with her mother since she was about a year old. Wren’s safety has been largely at question over the last few years, but a lot of big Tiktok creators have been speaking out about how dangerous her presence online currently is due to the type of content her mother is filming. Zoe and Sarah weight in on their opinions, and share their thoughts around child safety on the internet.

16:37-25:37

Zoe’s FYP is serving food and drama! She kicks it off by sharing that everyone is eating the Buldak noodles in spicy carbonara and she needs to get her hands on them! Next up is hair drama! There are some videos circulating on TikTok of a girl name Taylor who had a bleaching accident with her hair, and got it fixed by a hairdresser named Alfredo for free, but shes not happy with it! The two main points the girls take away from the videos is that there was no contract signed about what services she would be getting done, and no disclosure on Alfredos videos, as Taylor has shared that he was actually getting paid by the brands he was using!

Sarah’s FYP is all about Bethany Frankle in Abbotsford! Bethany from RHONY and SkinnyGirl is filming a movie in Vancouver and is putting small businesses in Abbotsford BC on the map! She is highlighting a ton of food and retail businesses, and sharing that Abbotsford has more to offer in her opinion than the Hamptons!
