Musical.ly. Yeah, way back in the day.
Derek KubicekHOST
I was saying, instead of Edge, what we should have done is have the normal game, but when they get voted out, the rest of it just turns into Ponderosa.
Derek KubicekHOST
But we don't have Ponderosa.

Gus JohnsonGUEST
Almost all of them were, like,
MaxmoefoeHOST
parody fucking ironic.
Anaya WaggonerGUEST
I love it.
Anaya WaggonerGUEST
I fell in love with it during the cringiest era to be a cosplayer, which is 2020, where people doing all sorts of crazy stuff on like TikTok and Musical.ly and all that stuff.
Anaya WaggonerGUEST
The Junko poses and the sparkly profile pictures of anime characters and all sorts of nonsense.
Anaya WaggonerGUEST
Yeah.

Wardrobe WinterGUEST

Kelsey BainHOST
But what I was getting at is that when TikTok came about, TikTok came about through Vine, right? It was Vine first, or-
Jarrod BainGUEST
It was actually an app called Musical.ly.
Kelsey BainHOST
Oh, yeah.
Jarrod BainGUEST
It was replaced Vine, 'cause Vine shut down, but it was more just people lip-syncing.
Jarrod BainGUEST
It was kind of a mixture between Vine and, like, I don't know, you'd remember Dubsmash?
Kelsey BainHOST
No.
Jarrod BainGUEST
It was basically just a lip-syncing app back in the day, and then both of them kind of combined and became this Musical.ly thing, and then it got bought out by that guy and turned into TikTok, and now it is what it is.
Kelsey BainHOST
So Jarrad was one of the first people on TikTok, and he grew a following really quickly.
