00:00Welcome back, Dana Beers.
00:05Welcome.
00:06Here we are on the set with Proper Wild,
00:09our delicious, clean energy all day, baby.
00:13Little shot.
00:18That's freaking good stuff.
00:20I'm ready to learn, bitch.
00:21Proper Wild, clean all day energy.
00:25Tick tock.
00:25I'm actually pretty good on there.
00:27Are you?
00:28Eh, not really.
00:30How many followers do you have?
00:31145,000.
00:32That's pretty good, and you post pretty regularly?
00:34Yeah, I post once a day of me chugging a beer.
00:37It doesn't really do numbers, but it's fun.
00:39Your growth and your sort of following on TikTok
00:42is an example of how anybody can make it on there.
00:45That's mean.
00:46Any guess on how many people in the United States use TikTok?
00:51Like a billion?
00:54A billion people in the United States use TikTok?
00:58What? Why not, dude?
00:59How many people do you think live in this country?
01:01I don't fucking know.
01:03Three billion?
01:07Why is everyone laughing?
01:09So 170 million people in the United States use TikTok.
01:12That's fucking crazy.
01:13In January of 2020, the Army and the Navy banned TikTok
01:18on government devices, labeling it a security threat.
01:23I've heard the tales.
01:24There's a lot of controversy around TikTok.
01:26Yes.
01:27Like many of these social media apps,
01:28parents and other people are worried
01:30that it gives unrealistic body expectations to young people.
01:34They're highly edited. They're filtered.
01:37Nobody actually looks the way that they really do.
01:40But then you come along.
01:41Yeah.
01:42And you say, this is what people actually look like.
01:44It's for everybody.
01:45TikTok has launched an entire generation of young stars.
01:49It has.
01:50We have a couple of people like that here at this company.
01:52We sure do.
01:53We've got Jack Mac.
01:54We do.
01:55Anything and everything, he'll have a take.
01:57He'll have commentary.
01:58And I have people I know and respect who come up to me
02:00and say, I really like that Jack Mac.
02:01Who else, Francis?
02:02Brianna Chicken Fry.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Big time.
02:05Big, big, big, big, big.
02:06Big.
02:07Brianna Chicken Fry probably pays both of our salaries.
02:09Literally, yes.
02:10With her merch alone.
02:11Yes.
02:12BFFs.
02:13One of our biggest podcasts is, you could argue,
02:16an amalgamation of various TikTok rivers.
02:20Some people say Dave's too old for it.
02:22I don't agree.
02:23I would never say such a thing.
02:24I would not say that.
02:25I think Dave is doing a great job.
02:27Who's saying that?
02:28Not me.
02:29Dave's too old for it.
02:30Well, you said someone's saying it.
02:32On the internet.
02:33People are saying it to you?
02:34No, people on the internet I've seen say that.
02:36Are you putting those people to shame?
02:38I put them down.
02:39I say, no, Dave is the best.
02:41I don't even see those comments.
02:43You're right.
02:44I don't either.
02:46And then we have a new diamond.
02:49Rising to the top, Mooby.
02:51Moobs.
02:52She and Smelly get together and they make their incredibly original videos.
02:55I have to tell you, I like her tone.
02:57She doesn't take herself seriously.
02:59She's unpredictable.
03:00She's original.
03:01Yes.
03:02I don't really get it, but I'm ready to learn about it.
03:05Right.
03:06Well, I like it.
03:07I get it.
03:08I don't get it.
03:09I don't get it either, but it works.
03:11She's going to tell me what you should be doing in order to gain more followers.
03:16And you're going to then create a couple videos, and we together are going to critique them
03:22in the hopes that you might gain another thousand followers.
03:25I feel good about this one.
03:27Off to Mooby with Proper Wild.
03:31Hi, Mooby.
03:32Hi, Francis.
03:33Thank you so much for being here today.
03:35Of course.
03:36We are drinking some Proper Wild.
03:37Oh, yeah.
03:38It's clean all-day energy.
03:40We're here to help Dana Beers improve his TikTok situation.
03:45Let's do it.
03:46You're the TikTok expert.
03:48I guess that's what they call me.
03:50So what's hot right now?
03:51What are some viral trends?
03:52What's going on?
03:53Give me a couple things, because we're going to teach Dana a few of these things.
03:56Okay.
03:57Have him do them, and then you can critique him.
03:59I think something that Dana could do is like a day in the life.
04:03Dana in the life.
04:04I think a dance, like a dancing video.
04:07Those are still being done?
04:08Yeah, like a dance trend.
04:09There's always new dance trends.
04:11Dance talk.
04:12We'll have him do a dance.
04:13Do you know some of these dances?
04:14That's one of my favorite things to do is a dance, and they always do well.
04:18All right, so we'll have him do a dance.
04:19He loves to eat, and I know food does well on TikTok.
04:23Is there anything in that realm that you can think of?
04:24I mean, you could do a mukbang.
04:26Mukbang.
04:27Which is just eating and chatting about what you're eating.
04:30Those are huge.
04:31So we'll have him do a mukbang.
04:32He'll enjoy that, because he likes to eat.
04:35We'll have him do a dance, and then maybe we'll have him do a day in the life.
04:38Come on.
04:39Is there anything else?
04:40Oh, yeah.
04:41There is a funny prank.
04:42What could we do?
04:43There's this trend to this town where it's like a chicken dance.
04:46Everyone lines up in a line, so it'd be like Dana, you, me, and we're like,
04:50okay, we're going to play this song, and I'll pretend to buck like a chicken.
04:53Oh.
04:54But we're behind him, so he doesn't see that we're not doing the dance.
04:57Do you mean cluck?
04:58I meant to say cluck.
04:59Buck is what a horse might do.
05:01Or yeah, like kick you off.
05:03So cluck, and he can't see that we're not clucking, and he's the only one clucking.
05:07It's, like, embarrassing.
05:08Yeah, so it's all just leaving someone out to dry.
05:10Yeah.
05:11I don't get it.
05:12All right.
05:13But that's why you're more successful than I am.
05:15Well, I wouldn't say that.
05:16So in sum, we're going to do three videos with Dana.
05:19Let's see what he can do.
05:20Boom.
05:21Don't stop.
05:22Do, do, do.
05:23Bum, bum, bum.
05:24Throw it.
05:25Right, left.

06:02So we're all going to do the chicken dance.
06:03We're going to go like this.
06:04Does the sound.
06:05What's the chicken dance?
06:06You go like this and like nudge your head forward.
06:08Yeah.
06:09And just buck forward.
06:10Am I doing it right?
06:13Harder.
06:14To the beat.
06:17Right.
06:19That's it?
06:22Right, yeah.
06:25Nailed it.
06:26Nailed it.
06:27Oh, my God.
06:29Ha ha ha.
06:31Hashtag prank.
06:33Moobs, check this out.
06:34One of these, maybe?
06:35Ooh, yeah.
06:36Boom.
06:38Uh-oh.
06:38Welcome to the first ever Dana in the Life.
06:41Uh-oh.
06:41I'm washing my face.
06:42Yeah, or like whatever you say.
06:44Like, what up, beer heads?
06:45Let's get active.
06:48All right.
06:49What up, beer heads?
06:50I can't breathe.
06:52What up, beer heads?
06:54Welcome to Dana in the Life.
06:56What do I do first?
06:57I want to wash my face while I'm at the office.
07:00A little bit of exfoliation for the boys.
07:02And after that, I head out to the office
07:04and say what's up to everybody.
07:06With a wet face?
07:09What's up, boys?
07:11What the fuck?
07:12Nothing.
07:13Then I say what's up to my boy, Joey.
07:15Are you doing a TikTok?
07:16Yeah, Dana in the Life, bitch.
07:18When did you start TikTok-ing?
07:19I don't know, today.
07:20Oh my god.
07:22You fucking know the gambling cave is the move, boy.
07:26Why am I talking like this?
07:29This is where the boys get together and watch
07:31some baseball today.
07:32Mets v. Philz.
07:34Let's get it.
07:35Let's get it.
07:36You know we got the fucking snacks, damn boys.
07:38I go with my soft and chewy.
07:40Eat that shit up every day.
07:42You know old Beerzy has to grab himself some beers.
07:46That was money.
07:47Old Beerzy, checking in on some emails.
07:51And of course, we absolutely yug beers at the desk.
07:57Mid-day beer?
08:13He's not chewing.
08:15He might choke.
08:16Inhaling.
08:20It's just so fast.
08:22It's like one of those nature documentaries.
08:28OK, I've seen enough.
08:29Let's rank them.
08:30Let's rank.
08:33Well, Dana, that was quite a show.
08:35How do you feel that you did?
08:37I am happy that I am going out of my comfort zone
08:40and doing things that I'm not used to.
08:43But I don't think that's my lane.
08:45I think you're being harsh on yourself.
08:46I think you did well.
08:47The Dana in the Life, I think you did well.
08:50The Dana in the Life is where you fall short.
08:52That was really bad.
08:54Mubi, I want you to give him a score on the A to F scale
08:58for each of those three things.
08:59And then we'll come up with a composite score.
09:01OK.
09:02The Dana in the Life, you get like a D.
09:05All right.
09:06The prank dance trend is like B.
09:09All right.
09:10And that mukbang, I mean, you killed that.
09:13So let's go A minus.
09:15A minus, B, D. The average there is
09:19going to be like a C.
09:20C.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Yeah, that's a little drop off from the last episode.
09:25But it's OK.
09:26Oh, God.
09:26Was I being mean?
09:27No.
09:28You were right.
09:28I'm bad at this stuff.
09:30I know my lane.
09:31My lane is drunk 34-year-olds in Milwaukee
09:35who like to drink beers and are gross
09:37and probably don't shower.
09:38Well, hopefully, a few of those people
09:41will see these videos and pass them around
09:43among their friends.
09:44Or unfollow me.
09:45Yeah, either way.
09:47Well, thank you, Mubi, TikTok experts.
09:49Thank you, Dana Beers.
09:50Of course.
09:51And thank you to Proper Wild for all-day clean energy.
09:54That is the science of TikTok.
09:57Here's to going viral.
09:59Woo, thanks for having me.
10:01Let's go, baby.
