The One Where Dina Loses TikTok Forever
2025/03/04
Dina made a grave mistake—she deleted TikTok when the ban lasted a whole 12 hours, and now she can't get it back. Meanwhile, Sean and Daniel get sucked into the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal drama, Dina discovers her fear of clowns may not be entirely what she thought, and Daniel once again fails at names—this time, butchering Dina’s book title beyond recognition. But that’s just the beginning. We also debate whether Lego people are zombie necromancers, break down Ryan Reynolds' alleged script rewrites, and, most importantly, launch a telethon for Dina’s Neopets doubloon fund. Because, priorities. ⚠ Trigger Warning: Our main discussion segment in this episode covers the horrendous allegations against Neil Gaiman, including sensitive topics related to abuse.
