0:00.0 | Greetings to you friends. It is ID, TrueCell, and this is the Duncan Trustle Family Hour podcast. |
0:06.9 | Now, I know a lot of us are pissed at the algorithm all the time. The algorithm sometimes seems |
0:11.9 | like a demonic force, for example. The first time I went onto TikTok, |
0:17.8 | it just decided that I wanted to see pimple popping videos. And it was weirdly right. Like, |
0:26.8 | I didn't know that's what I wanted. I went on there because I wanted to look at beautiful |
0:32.5 | women into loom, giving me advice about how to live a better life. But pretty soon it just started |
0:40.0 | suggesting hardcore pimple popping clips, sprays of pus and big explosions of blistered |

2:23.0 | check out the first track from his incredible album, Family Ties, which you can find everywhere. |
2:30.8 | I did not expect him to even write back to me, but I followed him on Twitter, sent him a DM, |
