TikTok’s ‘We listen, We don’t judge’ trend is so chaotic and we can’t look away

Some of these confessions are totally unhinged.

If you spend time on TikTok, you might have seen videos of people sitting in front of a camera saying, “We listen, we don’t judge.” You might wonder what these people are doing if you’re like us. Well, those folks are being incredibly chaotic all in the name of *checks notes* transparency.

“We listen, we don’t judge” usually starts with two people who know each other (perhaps a couple, family members, or just friends). The pair agree to sit side by side in front of a camera and say in unison, “We listen, we don’t judge,” before taking turns revealing something the other person might not know.

Typically, the information revealed is a secret, something embarrassing or even a confession they thought they might never tell the other person. The catch is that whatever is said cannot be held against the revealer, and the individual hearing what’s shared cannot judge what they just heard.

This seems mildly harmless, right? Except it’s not. It’s one of the most chaotic things we’ve ever witnessed. But, admittedly, we can’t look away.

Here’s some of the most unhinged videos we’ve found:

Bryson DeChambeau trying to hit a hole-in-one over his house is riveting TikTok content

Good luck, Bryson.

Bryson DeChambeau has never been one to back down from a challenge on or off the golf course, and that’s looking like the case on TikTok.

As of writing this, he’s still attempting to hit a hole-in-one … over his house. Every day for over a week, he’s posted a video of his attempts to hit into a hole that’s installed at the back of his house. He gets multiple attempts in each video, and he’s getting agonizingly close. If it were me, I’d for sure hit it into one of the windows, but I’m not a professional golfer.

Here’s a couple of examples, and here’s hoping it happens soon.

Bryson DeChambeau’s latest challenge: Make a hole-in-one … over his house

Hopefully his wedge game shows up like it did on the 18th at Pinehurst No. 2.

To say Bryson DeChambeau has been busy since his U.S. Open victory would be putting it lightly.

Just in the last few months, he filmed a YouTube video with President-elect Donald Trump. He was later on stage during Trump’s victory speech following the election. He was partying in the SMU student section during a football game while being recognized for his second major title.

Now, the LIV Golf star’s content creation has taken a unique turn: he’s trying to hit a hole-in-one… over his house.

That’s right. DeChambeau’s latest endeavor is hitting wedge shots from his driveway, over his towering roof and onto a green in his backyard. And there’s a twist. He’s only hitting as many shots as days he has done the challenge. So Tuesday, when the first video came out, he hit one shot. Wednesday, he got two, and Thursday will be three, and so on.

He’s posting the videos on TikTok. Here’s a look at the first two.

@brysondechambeau This might take a while… #golf ♬ original sound – Bryson DeChambeau

There’s no telling how long this challenge could take, but hopefully his wedge game shows up like it did on the 18th at Pinehurst No. 2 this June.

Steve from Blue’s Clues just made everyone cry with his post-election TikTok

People are so emotional over Steve’s video.

Full disclosure: I was too old to watch Blue’s Clues when it started its original run on Nickelodeon’s Nick Jr. in 1996. So I wasn’t totally familiar with the work of former host Steve Burns.

But as of late, thanks to TikTok, I’ve seen what he does, and it’s quite emotional.

Burns has made a bunch of videos in which he asks how people out there are doing, and then he just … sits there. He’s not blanked-faced — he looks like he’s actively listening. And that’s it.

His latest video after the 2024 presidential election has everyone in their feelings in the comments and beyond, and you can see why:

KhaDarel Hodge’s hilarious TikTok skits resurface after Falcons’ win

KhaDarel Hodge’s hilarious TikTok skits resurfaced after the Falcons’ win over the Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons played in arguably the best game of the 2024 NFL season on Thursday night, pulling off a 36-30 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to take first place in the NFC South.

Falcons wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge ended the game in style with a 45-yard touchdown reception in overtime. Fans don’t know much about Hodge other than the fact that he’s been a quality depth and special teams player for the past few seasons.

On Friday morning, some of Hodge’s TikTok skits resurfaced online and they’re pure gold:

Hodge finished the game with two catches for 67 receiving yards and a touchdown. They were his first two catches of the season and the timing couldn’t have been any better.

The Falcons were trailing by three points when Kirk Cousins found Drake London for a 14-yard gain late in the fourth quarter. Cousins clocked the ball with one second left and Younghoe Koo tied the game with a 52-yard field goal.

Hodge took care of the rest and Atlanta improved to 3-2 on the season. Not a bad day’s work for the 29-year-old.

The Katie Santry rug mystery on TikTok, explained: How her backyard videos turned into an investigation

This is just wild.

Buckle up for this one, friends.

We’re talking about Katie Santry, who lives in Columbus, Ohio. She posted a video on TikTok wondering if her house was haunted after she found some things on her desk that were not where they were before. And then she talked about how she was digging a hole in her backyard and found a rolled-up rug.

And then … everyone told her to go to the police. She did and Columbus police brought cadaver dogs to figure out if there were human remains in the hole.

They sat, indicating … something.

From the Columbus Dispatch, here’s more:

“It could be anything,” Jennifer Watson, spokeswoman for the Columbus Division of Police, said Friday. …

Watson said the dogs could have alerted to a variety of things.

“It could be body oil,” Watson said. “It could be sweat. It could be it could be blood, like maybe a nick or a paper cut, something’s as insignificant as that. So at this time, we don’t know what we’re looking at.”

Let’s run through the videos, too:

NFL has gotten millions of views promoting Derek Carr’s TD celebration

The NFL has gotten millions of views promoting Derek Carr’s TD celebration on social media. They thanked him for it with a $14,069 fine:


This isn’t a good look for the NFL. The league has gotten millions of views promoting Derek Carr’s touchdown celebration against the Dallas Cowboys on social media, complete with an explanation for why he paid tribute to the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson. Then the NFL thanked the New Orleans Saints quarterback for creating this highlight reel moment with a $14,069 fine.

On TikTok alone the clip has been viewed more than 267,000 times. It’s created even more engagement on Instagram with more than 1.6 million views. It’s since spread far and wide across the Internet as evidence that this 2024 Saints team is different from what fans have had to watch in recent years. And, sure, it’s a great clip. In his postgame press conference Carr joked that he borrowed Jackson’s choreography to remind his kids and younger teammates that he has some dance moves.

At the same time, the people issuing fines from the league office in New York are not the same people editing videos to post online every Sunday. Of course they’re going to react differently when a player grabs his crotch after scoring a touchdown and laughs about it after the game. But that doesn’t make this any less hypocritical. Company policy should be standard across departments. Either outlaw gestures like this (Carr wasn’t penalized for it during the game, by the way) or let it slide and get those clicks, reactions, and impressions online. Not even the NFL should get to have its cake and eat it too.

A TikTok trend has teams pranking players with their old photos and the results are hysterical

Players from the Phoenix Mercury, Los Angeles Chargers and even the Indiana Fever have been pranked.

A new TikTok trend pranking players during an autograph session has emerged, and it’s absolutely fantastic.

Asking players to sign things is nothing new. By all accounts, teams ask their players to do this sort of thing all the time. (Even newborn babies get signed.) But what happens when they ask players to sign something unconventional — like really old or embarrassing photos of themselves? PURE COMEDY. That’s what happens.

It’s unclear who started this trend, but the results have not disappointed. Here’s an example of the Phoenix Mercury social team pulling the prank off on several franchise members. The team starts the beginning of the joke with Diana Taurasi when she thinks she’s casually signing something. Then, when she realizes it’s an old photo of herself that most people haven’t seen (and she probably doesn’t want them to), she hilariously says, “Ah, [expletive],” before walking away.

TikTok star Jools Lebron gave a very demure, very mindful interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live with RuPaul

Very demure. Very mindful.

It’s the TikTok trend that has taken over the video app and, well, the world.

Jools Lebron, a TikTok star, posted a video that’s been viewed millions of times in which she talked about being “very demure, very mindful” about how she dresses and styles for work.

As these things tend to do, the video went mega-viral and everyone is imitating it or putting a spin on it, including celebrities.

On Monday, Lebron made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live with RuPaul guest-hosting. Their exchange was quite hilarious and, well, yeah, it was very demure.

Check out the whole bit, it’s very funny:

Thunder’s Nikola Topic flexes basketball knowledge in TikTok video

Thunder’s Nikola Topic flexes basketball knowledge in TikTok video.

Heading into the 2024 NBA draft process, Nikola Topic was tabbed as a high IQ player. This is shown in his playmaking and passing abilities. The 18-year-old has a high ceiling as a lead facilitator.

After he fell to the No. 12 spot due to a torn ACL, the Oklahoma City Thunder must practice patience with Topic as he will miss the 2024-25 season recovering from his knee injury.

But Topic’s basketball knowledge was flexed in the form of a TikTok. He was featured in a video where he was quizzed to name European NBA players.

The 18-year-old showed off his deep library of names as several players he mentioned were either bubble NBA players with short stints or played before his time.

It’s a fun video showing a little of Topic’s personality. It’s evident he’s a basketball savant and that obsessiveness paired with his work ethic gives him a shot to work out for the Thunder.
