  • Bob, can you tell me about this influencer you've been watching on TikTok?

  • Yeah, her name is Christina Chapman.

  • Hi, lovelies.

  • I just wanted to pop on for a second.

  • And she talks about food accountability.

  • I guess it's day three.

  • Day three.

  • Day two of accountable eating.

  • She talks about political causes.

  • That I will support and defend the Constitution.

  • Of the United States.

  • She talks about Japanese boy bands.

  • And I'm wearing my shirt.

  • Epidemia.

  • This is not official merch.

  • These are shirts that I made myself.

  • And every now and then she'll slip in something about maybe a renaissance fair.

  • You know, just the kind of things that people want to watch TikTok videos about.

  • Our colleague Bob McMillan covers cybersecurity.

  • And there's one video of Chapman's in particular that he says is a bit unusual.
