- (FBE) Ready to recreate this TikTok? - No. - (hits the table) Yes! - No. ♪ (haunting music) ♪ ♪ (rock intro) ♪ - (FBE) So William, have you ever made a TikTok before? - Oh my God! - Oh. No. No. - No. What is that? A what? - Oh no. - A TikTok? - I haven't done it, but... - (both laugh) - My youngest daughter brushes her teeth doing it. She is eating it while she does it. She makes them all day. - (FBE) Well, in this episode, you'll create some of your own with a little help from your kid, who's probably more familiar with the platform. - (laughs) - Okay.

You hate me. - (both laugh) - I don't like TikTok as a platform. I do not like it very much. - I will like it? - Probably, knowing you. - (laughs) - You like everything that I don't like. That's the thing. - You're right. You're right. - Yes. - (FBE) We'll go over four popular TikTok trends from this

month

and ask you to recreate them. - Fun! This is fun. - Well. - Oh my God! It is a bonding experience. I'm so excited. Please don't become more famous than me. Other than that, we're fine. - I am not going to lie.

I love making TikToks here with you guys, so let's keep doing this. (claps) I like this. Here we go. - (FBE) As a notice to our audience, we are going to have to change the music for this episode, but if you want to see all the TikToks in their original form, you can follow us on TikTok. - Yes, if you go to FBE on TikTok, you will be able to see all the good things there. - (both laugh) - (FBE) The first trend we had was actually on the Internet and not just on this app, but it started when people claimed that NASA said that one day a year, you could put the broom in position vertical. - Oh, it's fine.

That's how it is. - We did that. (laughs) - That's what we did. - I did this. - Mm-hmm. If he did. - (laughs) I was very excited. - (FBE) Well, some TikTokers got a little creative with this. So, this is the #BroomChallenge. - Alright. ♪ (creepy music) ♪ - (laughs) - Oh, they did a lot of that. Well. - That is incredible. - Yes. - I wish you could do this all the time. - I have never tried to lift a broom. Is that with tape? - No no no. It's just the bristles, if you do them right they can hold the entire broom. - It was just a day when NASA said that the gravitational pull towards the core was so strong that if you stuck a broom in it, it would rise. - Actually it's not that. - Well.

I'm sorry. - Basically, we have to see if the center of balance falls below half the length of the product, then the product will stand upright. - There's your lesson for the day. You are welcome. - I am a physics student. I'm sorry. - (both laugh) - After trying it, I checked NASA's Twitter and thought, "They didn't say this. I just tried it like a fool." - (both laugh) - Wait, there's no way that's going to happen. -Zach King, very good. - (Zach) Hmm. That's weird. ♪ (haunting music) ♪ Oh! - (man) Did you understand? - That's creative. - That's great. - (the man laughs) - Damn.

Zach King is literally the coolest person in the world. - (Zach) Oh! - (man) Did you understand? - Oh Lord. - (Zach) I got it! - He is very good with illusions. - I am so confused. - He started on Vine and always had these crazy illusions. - A hot Cheeto. - Oh Lord. - (both laugh) - That's what she told me. She said, "Well, couldn't everything stand then?" - (woman gasps) Oh! - (laughs) - (woman) It worked, y'all. Is standing. - (laughs) - (woman) Oh, . - It's Lizzo! That is what it is! - (laughs) - (Lizzo) Damn. - What's that? - It's... (laughs) That's a Cheeto.

Do you know the things I eat? - I know. You eat Cheetos. And they did... it's... - It was broom day, right? - Ah OK! -Everyone was using her broom, so she put her Cheeto in her place. - Cheetos instead of broom. Well. - I'm trying to make sense of what they're trying to do with it, looking for expectations, and there aren't any, or I'm missing something here. - I think it rang true enough that it's not a big deal, but it's something that... The average person hasn't tried to pick up a broom, so we believed it. - If I dont know. - No, don't say "we." - "We" as the Internet. - Well. - I speak for the Internet, not for you. (laughs) - (FBE) Ready to recreate this TikTok? - No. - (hits the table) Yes! - No. - So how do you want to make this TikTok? - Actually, I was thinking that you start something, and then I take the...

I do like this. And then I just say ba. - I will sweep as always and you will do nothing as always. Makes it easy, right? - Yes. (laughs) - Okay. - Oh! Here we go. I like that. - (Will) Leviolas. ♪ (eerie music) ♪ - (FBE) So the next one looks like it actually started before this

month

, but it really took off in February, and it's a simple trend where by using the Face Zoom filter, people change their face , people change their facial expressions. - I like that. It is funny. (laughs) - I don't think I've seen that one. - You will see. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ - Oh, I love Addison. - (laughs) - Just making faces. - I don't understand.

Is he literally grimacing? - Mmm, is that all? So no visual effects or anything like that? Just doing that? That was a little silly. - I'm not a big fan of this trend. It's not creative at all. It's not funny at all. It's nothing out of the ordinary. You're just making faces. - In a few seconds, I could show different faces, different expressions, the fraction of a second. Very pretty. It is difficult to make that expression with the little time given. - Yes. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ - (laughs) It's so silly. - Here we go. That is a good one. - (both laugh) - You know what?

As long as they don't get into trouble, they're entertained, (claps) there's no problem. They could do that all day. Totally fine with that. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ - It's okay, she's fun. I know her. Well. - She is very funny. (claps) I love this girl. - Oh. - She's already leaving. - (laughs) - (laughs) - (laughs) That was funny. - She is a queen. We support her. - Oh really? - Yes. - Wow. We support her. - Stan. - Stand up. Stop. Stop. - Stan. Don't get up. S-T-A-N. - Stan. - Yes. - Yes, we support it. - We make. (laughs) -she's fine. - I think it's ridiculous, and it's fast enough to keep your attention and you can keep watching them without getting bored. - Mm-hmm.

Everyone likes to make silly faces. - Yes. - (FBE) Ready to try it? - Are you ready? - Yes. - This is also my first TikTok, so... okay. Let's see how this goes. (laughs) ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ - (FBE) Our third trend has to do with fluid dynamics and how to achieve laminar flow, where a fluid can flow without interruption between layers, making it appear motionless. - Oh. Okay, okay, I've seen it. Well. ♪ (calm music) ♪ - Uh-huh. - Well. - Oh! - Look at that... Oh! - Wait a minute. - Oh! - Oh! How the hell? - That's like... it looks like it's frozen. - Oh, I like that. - Okay, that was great.

Well. Look, that's what I want. - Yes, I liked that one. - That's what I want to see. - Yes. - #science. - It looks like an icicle. Since we don't see any kind of movement, it seems completely frozen, like solid. It is nice. ♪ (suspense music) ♪ - That's great! I can't wait to try this at home. - Cool, right? - (both laugh) - I'm surprised that this is what people are excited about. - I mean, it's okay. It's just great. - You've seen it once, you've seen them all. There's nothing exciting about that. It's a stream of water. - I'll try it at home. - No you are not. - Yes. - (laughs) No, you're not. - I'm going to try that at home.

I'm excited. - You are not. Try it outside. Not at home. - Uh-uh, at the house. - (FBE) Let's have you guys try that one. - Nice. Alright. Cool. - Only in one place? - Do you know that it was something like the numerical sign? - Oh! (laughs) ♪ (suspense music) ♪ ♪ (calm music) ♪ - (FBE) So, we have one last one. - Well. - This is where you find out what your new name is by removing the first and last letters of your name and seeing what it would sound like. - Well. (laughs) - New Zealand! - Mine would be Axo.

He sounds nervous. (laughs) ♪ (electro music) ♪ - Jason. - Also. - (man) Hey! - (both laugh) - I expected it. It's an easy assumption. - That was creative. I like that. - I feel like it depends more on what you put after the name disappears. I feel like that's where creativity really comes into play. ♪ (electro music) ♪ - (turtle) Ahh. - (laughs) - That's very sad. - That's funny. - A. - (turtle) Ahh. - No! NO! - What was that? - No! Is a turtle. Is a turtle. - What's wrong with that? - Is a turtle. Is a turtle. - It's just ridiculous and it's very creative to be able to find a clip that makes that sound. - Yes, because you sat there and said: "Ah." - Oh! - I thought it was super fun.

I love it. I love the sound you can connect with that word. There's a situation for every pair of letters, so I think it's super fun. - (FBE) Ready to try this one? - Yes, let's do it! (claps) - Yes. Yes, let's go for it. ♪ (electro music) ♪ - (creature) Raid! (boom) ♪ (electro music) ♪ - (goat scream) ♪ (electro music) ♪ - ♪ I'm illy, I'm illy ♪ ♪ I'm illy ♪ ♪ I'm sick, I'm sick ♪ - (FBE) Dad Will. - Yeah? - (FBE) How did you enjoy making some TikToks today? - It was a very interesting concept. Yes, it was very good today. - Very funny!

He's a great athlete, so I really appreciate him. - It's great. In fact, he asked me before if I wanted to do one with him. I said, "Next time." You should do it with me and grandma. - And the grandmother. Yes. The older generations! - Simply making TikToks is scary enough. Trying to explain it to someone who still doesn't understand it even after you've explained it is just frustrating. - I used to think it was for an older, younger, younger generation, but it seems like all you showed me were teenagers and adults. It's not my deal. - Yes, basically it is like that. - (FBE) So as a parent of a child who's growing up in such a social media-centric world, do you have any concerns maybe with anything, maybe TikTok specifically or just social media? - As a father, no.

I have no qualms about him getting into social media. But like all

parents

, there are limitations to some of those things where, you know, you make the right decision, you make the right decisions, where, you know, safety is a concern. - As long as everything is in good taste and people are respectful online, I have no problem. You know, it's the way the younger generation communicates nowadays. - Parents should monitor what is happening from time to time, but not do the job of police in each position. The fact that you are seeing it, for children, makes them more aware of what they publish. - (FBE) Finally, do you think you guys will make more TikToks together in the future? - But! - Yes, we will do it.

Yes, we will do it. We will do more TikToks in the future. - Oh! - I will do it for her. - Awww thanks! - Yes. - Yes. - We will. - Yeah? - Yes. - Be attentive. - Stay tuned. (laughs) - Stay tuned. - (laughs) - Be careful. -You may not be interested, but I will try it with my wife to see if we like it. - I will follow it, but I won't make a TikTok yet. -Tonight I'll make a TikTok with my husband and post it! I'm going to go
