Welcome to the Virgecast, the flagship podcast of endlessly looping sounds.

I'm your friend David Pierce and I'm inside.

All I've been is inside these last few days because I'm in Washington, D.C.

where it's freezing cold and snowing.

And not only is it nasty to be outside, but this seems to be one of those cities

where everyone just forgets how to drive as soon as any kind of precipitation happens.

Like even the idea that it might rain and everybody just starts driving a thousand miles an hour into medians for some reason. So basically not only is it just kind of gross to go outside right now, it's legitimately dangerous to my health.

So the last few days I've gone out to walk the dog and grow grocery shopping and that's pretty much it.

Here's hoping for better weather, both for me and for a lot of folks really soon.

Anyway, we have a great show for you today.

Now that the holidays and CES are over, we are back to our regularly scheduled Virgcast programming

and we have a bunch of good stuff for you today.

We're going to talk about Tik-Toc one part of TikTok, and even more specifically

one sound that has taken over that one specific part of TikTok in a totally fascinating way.

Then we're going to talk about streaming services, because this is going to be another big year for streaming services and not everyone is going to survive it.

All that's coming up in just a sec, but first I have to find the space heater because even just looking out the window is making me cold.

This is the Virg cast. We'll be right back.

Support for this show comes from Krakhan.

Krypto is like the financial system but different.

It doesn't care where you come from, what you look like, your credit school,

or your outrageous food delivery habits.

Crypto is finance for everyone, everywhere all the time.
