Promo Code DWKT In today's episode, we break down the absolute uproar that has been going on the past week after Booktok caught wind that a creator named Allie Rose Co had successfully filed the trademark for the phrase "Hot Girls Read". As you might guess, Allie was not the one to come up or even popularize the phrase which has been a common saying in the book community for decades at this point - and said community was not pleased.  We hope you enjoyed this episode!   We Love the Internets: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTByjhbfe/ [https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTByjhbfe/] https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTByjFtJV/ [https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTByjFtJV/] 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Hot Girls Read Trademark Disaster 57:58 Allie Rose Co Response 01:06:08 We Love the Internet For even more content, go join The Other Girlies over on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem [https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem] Please let us know on Twitter or Instagram if you have any topic suggestions for a future episode!

Things are only getting messier as time goes on but the core of the issue is an ongoing dispute involving the retail franchise Bricks & Minifigs (BAM), YouTuber Reckless Ben, and a Lego Star Wars collection allegedly worth $200,000 that was originally consigned to a franchise location in Keizer, Oregon. The dispute gained attention in May 2026 after Ben published a series of videos alleging that the collection had been illegally retained following a change in franchise ownership. The controversy has also involved the Police Department of American Fork, Utah, and allegations that they are colluding with Bricks & Minifigs to cover up the scandal. 00:00 Introduction 03:00 $200k Lego Controversy 01:32:19 We Love the Internet We Love the Internets: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBSp4EhT/ [https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBSp4EhT/] https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXb6_eXgamY/ [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXb6_eXgamY/] We hope you enjoyed this episode!   For even more content, go join The Other Girlies over on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem [https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem] Please let us know on Twitter or Instagram if you have any topic suggestions for a future episode!

In today's episode, we talk about two entitled influencers. First we have a mom who does food reviews - but when she was turned away from a cat cafe due to strict hours and age limits regarding the time spent with the cats, she proceeded to make a video about her bad experience - not expecting the cafe to release their security footage that paitned a different story. Then we move onto another head scratching moment where a woman begins venting to TikTok about how she had booked that specific hotel because of their roof top pool. In an unexpected twist, *sarcasm* it turns out the pool is open to other guests aka children who have sent her spiraling before she finally retreats back to her room in tears.  We Love the Internet: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBd2SghP/ [https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBd2SghP/] https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYCdKWPi6T4/ [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYCdKWPi6T4/] 00:00 Introduction 05:12 Cat Cafe Backlash 36:09 Hotel Jacuzzi Meltdown 01:04:14 We Love the Internet For even more content, go join The Other Girlies over on our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem [https://www.patreon.com/c/doweknowthem] Please let us know on Twitter or Instagram if you have any topic suggestions for a future episode!
