Kyle welcomes creator, actor, and internet heartthrob Noah Beck for a serious exploration of what it means to have a huge following at a young age. They talk post Sway House life, moving to L.A., and the oddly intimate experience of millions of strangers watching Noah plate his protein, carbs, and emotional growth in real time. Noah gets candid about imposter syndrome, trading “TikTok boy” for “actor boy,” and why a notable fanbase is just a key to the door, not a guarantee you get to stay in the room. Noah guides Kyle in TikTok slang and what it means to “renegade.” In the final segment, two generations of heartthrobs play a chaotic game of Name That Heartthrob where they guess famous lines from Cary Grant, Michael B Jordan, Paul Newman, and more.
