S3 E2 starts with an update on Ed's blind date. Ed is still living out of suitcases since the wildfires started and is scared for all the ash on the ground his dogs keep sniffing. Susie has had a busy couple of weeks. Susie finds out her parents' neighborhood is a part of the wildfires and they are displaced from their home. Susie has been helping her parents and mourning the loss of her childhood while helping those in need as much as possible. Susie didn't even have time to process the TikTok ban because of the wildfires. The community of Los Angeles come together as a community. Ed is terrified of the water and got gout... and also threw out his back. Ed battles misinformation about the TikTok ban. Ed and Ron also donate a lot of their inventory to the wildfire victims. TikTokers admit that they've been lying about their content the whole time before the ban took effect. Ed used to mess with customers when he used to work at Starbucks. TikTokers from other countries talked trash about American TikTokers while TikTok went dark in the USA. Americans TikTokers find refuge in Xiaohongshu/Little Red Book and realize the anti-China propaganda that they have been fed their whole lives. Susie accidentally loses her TikTok app from her phone. Follow Susie and Ed on Blue Note, Xiaohongshu, YouTube, Instagram, Lemon8.
