C. N.C. producer Cameron Costa. Today on our podcast, a speed bump on the new frontier.

Bitcoin Bulls may have some paperwork to do this upcoming tax season, the IRS finally has its

eye on digital holdings.

You know, it's like, the Wild Wild West only lasted for so long, right?

And from the network that brought us, Chip and Joanna Gaines,

naked and afraid, and the Blue Planet

comes a new streaming service.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav makes the case for the eighth major streaming option, Discovery Plus.

We hit the market in January. We're one of one. When people watch TV, 40% of what they watch is scripted series and scripted movies.

Where everything else?

Seen or unseen, worn or unwarn. Who's really to say?

We all need to come clean on this kind of stuff.

You know what I'm doing?

I'm pulling a Kernan.

Squack pod begins right now.

Good morning, everybody.
