At TikTok, we're known for entertainment, but behind the scenes, we commit it to safety within our community.

That's why we set all TikTok accounts age between 13 and 15 as private, with no access to direct messaging.

Our family pairing tool lets you link your account to your teams, so you can adjust what content they see,

and manage how long your family spends on TikTok with our screen time management tool.

Safety, your priorities, our commitment.

Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone has had a great week so far.

So we've got to change.

Last minute change, yet again, in our podcast.

In our podcast, this is the second time I've tried to get Alex Branson on my podcast, had him scheduled.

And then last minute, unfortunately, he has been unable to come on the podcast.

If you don't know, he's the guy he used to work for the New York Times, and he has been very thoroughly and consistently reporting on the side of coronavirus reporting that is not typically shown in the mainstream.

So he'll look at the data of masks, he'll look at the data of the rate of infections and hospitalizations, and some of the background of the vaccines, and report on those things that a lot of people unfortunately just aren't willing to talk about.

And I really wanted to get him on last week, and then I wanted to get him on today, and we literally got like a text during email a couple minutes before the interview that he wasn't going to be able to make it.

So that's a huge bummer also he was going to promote a book and you guys are just so I just have like the most responsive audience in the world.

Whenever I have someone on to promote their book, and I've had several people on to talk about their book. First of all, I just want to let you guys know I only have people on to talk about their books that I know are going to be interesting to you.

Not just you know, I don't just have anyone on, but you guys are so supportive and always go out and buy their book and you follow them.

And you really want to support the people that I go to as a resource or that I listen to or I talk to and I just love you guys.

I always talk about how I have the greatest and smartest and most thoughtful and encouraging audience in the world. And I really think that's true.

Like I probably, I mean, I know that I don't have, you know, the same size audiences. A lot of people out there, but I do have a ton of you.

And the many, many, many of you who do listen to this podcast are also just so involved and so engaged and I just appreciate that so much.
