What started as a billing disaster turned into a digital wake-up call. After blowing past his shared data limit, Shane decided not to top up—but to opt out. With just calls, maps, and dial-up-slow messages, he stripped his smartphone back to basics. The surprising result? Relief.

In this solo episode, Shane gets honest about tech dependence, app fatigue, and what it feels like to not be reachable 24/7. From ditching Spotify to rediscovering actual radio, he shares the wins, the weirdness, and what changes when you stop treating your phone like a lifeline. Plus, a debate: which apps could you truly not live without?
