In Episode 77 of the Franklin and Douglas Podcast: Current Events and Bad Advice, we break down the new TikTok U.S. agreement and what it really means for American users, creators, and the future of the app. After years of debate, political pressure, and threats of a nationwide ban, TikTok has finalized a deal to create an American version of TikTok, backed by U.S. investors and designed to address data privacy, national security, and algorithm control concerns. We discuss how this agreement came together, why it happened now, and whether Americans should actually feel safer — or if this is just a rebrand with better PR.

We also talk about how the public is reacting, from skepticism and memes to genuine concern over surveillance, data protection, and who really controls the algorithm. If you’re into TikTok news, tech current events, or pop-culture discussions that don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode is right up your alley.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Franklin and Douglas without some bad advice. This week we tackle a truly universal dilemma: what do you do when your friend “borrows” your hoodie and never gives it back? Petty solutions encouraged.
