Wife Approved with Shane & Caroline

We made it to episode 40… somehow.This week, we’re talking about what it’s really been like doing the Wife Approved Podcast every week, how different this feels from Shane’s normal YouTube content, and why none of us actually know what we’re doing — we’re all just figuring it out as we go.We get into bad comments, internet trolls, “keyboard warriors,” and why some comments are easy to laugh off while others hit a little closer to home when they involve family, parenting, or character. Caroline also shares her new favorite internet tradition: creators calling out nasty comments in the most hilarious way possible.Plus, we talk about being real people behind the screen, protecting kids, Shane’s birthday plans, and tease a new segment where we’ll weigh in on your marriage fights — because obviously we’re qualified.Thanks for hanging out with us for 40 episodes. Here’s to more banter, rants, and probably Shane being wrong.💬 Thanks for listening, thanks for sending in your questions. Got a topic or question for us?

What is Wife Approved with Shane & Caroline?

Marriage. Family. Tech that sometimes works.

The other just wants the lights to turn on without yelling at Siri.

Mostly functional Wi-Fi.
