1-21-26 - TikTok's 2026 Trend Report and Actor Chris Gethard Talks the Creator Economy

TikTok's 2026 trend report is out! Longtime listener Casey Ross stops by to share his insights. The YouTube team has improvements to the content upload system, then actor Chris Gethard shares his thoughts on the creator economy and compares the American Revolutionary War being kicked off by mail delivery to our current system of gatekeepers with Instagram and TikTok. Then I do Wednesday Waffle, part 2 of the story where I hired actresses as a gift for my wife.
