Season 2
Episode 82

Description
It used to be social — now it’s just sales. In this Good News Tuesday episode, Shane and Ryan go off on the flood of fake self-help, algorithm bait, and sponsored nonsense taking over Instagram. From “five hacks to change your life” to “this is your sign to break up,” the feed has become a nonstop parade of unverified advice pretending to be truth.
They talk sunk costs, sandwich expectations, and the absurdity of shopping-channel culture in disguise. Plus, the rare joy of someone calling it all out with brains and bite.
