Shawn Ryan Show sponsors and ad reads

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees are extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.

Yeah, I've been using Ridge for a while and what I like about them is they take everyday gear and make it cleaner, tougher, and more functional. Wallets, power banks, luggage, travel gear, all the stuff you actually carry and use. In fact, their power banks, I just got three charges off one bank at the airport. Amazing. And now Ridge is back with their annual sweepstakes for the sixth year. And this one is insane. Two winners get to choose between a Lamborghini Huracan Starato, a Hennessy Velociraptor, a custom Ford Bronco, or $100,000 in cash. I'd probably take the Velociraptor. It's got 558 horsepower twin turbo, and it's basically American muscle built into an all-terrain truck. That's a hard one to pass up. Even if you don't win, Ridge is still worth checking out. Their power bank has built-in cables, wireless charging, MagSafe compatibility, and enough power for up to three full phone charges. Their wallets are slim, durable, and built for everyday carry. Ready to upgrade your wallet and maybe your ride? For a limited time only, head to Ridge.com and use code SRS at checkout for 10% off your order and a chance to win Ridge's biggest sweepstakes ever. A Lamborghini Huracan Starato, a Hennessy Velociraptor, a Ford Bronco, or $100,000 in cash.

As you guys know, once upon a time, I was a Navy SEAL, and then I contracted for CIA. We were hunting ISIS, Taliban, terrorist organizations. China was there. Russia was there. The Iranians were there. And everybody's kind of collecting on each other. One thing I learned is how important encryption in protecting your data is. That experience has just always made me extremely paranoid about what's being sucked out of my phone, what information are people getting. I wanted something that could protect everybody. And so we turned it into an application. We call it the Glacier app. We have secure DNS. Now, what's secure DNS? Well, very simply put, secure DNS keeps your phone from being exploited while you're browsing the internet. Just a couple of buttons, your phone's protected. You got yourself a burner number or more. You hit connect. Done. You're protected. This is like the real James Bond shit, MI6 CIA level stuff. Made in the U.S. The GlacierApp.com or just go on the App Store and look up the Glacier app.

Here at Sean Ryan Show, we cover subjects that get complicated fast. Intelligence, war, technology. And when you're dealing with topics like that, the hard part isn't just finding information, it's making sense of it all. That's why we use Claude. Claude helps us take a messy topic and start connecting the pieces: timelines, contradictions, different angles, follow-up questions, things we may have missed. It helps us slow down the research process and think more clearly before we ever sit down for an interview. And we use it across the show—episode prep, research, strategy, and even our hot question segment. It's become one of those tools that help sharpen the work behind the scenes. Claude is the AI for minds that don't stop at good enough. It's the collaborator that actually understands your entire workflow and thinks with you. Whether you're debugging code at midnight or strategizing your next business move, Claude extends your thinking to tackle the problems that matter. And with features like deep research and connectors, Claude can help pull context together from the tools you already use and turn complicated information into something that you can actually work with. Companies like Stripe and Shopify trust Anthropic with the rollout of AI in their businesses. For problems worth solving, get started with Claude at claude.ai.srs.

To keep up with everything else, I don't have time for some complicated skincare routine. I don't want 10 steps. I don't want a cabinet full of products. And I don't want something that takes a bunch of time every morning and every night. I just want one simple product that actually does something. That's what I like about The Good. It's an antioxidant rich facial oil serum made specifically for men's skin. The Good is formulated with 27 botanicals and it's designed to help deeply moisturize, support skin recovery, even skin tone, and visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. For me, the biggest thing is that my skin doesn't look as dry or worn down. It feels softer, smoother, and just looks healthier. And the results back it up. 96% reported healthier looking skin, 91% reported less dryness, and 89% showed improved radiance and luminosity. If you're looking for one simple product that actually makes a difference, that's the good. Visit calderalab.com slash SRS and use code SRS for 20% off your first order.

Most people don't realize how much their personal information is being bought and sold every day. Data brokers are making billions, pulling details about you from public records and the internet, and then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection. With one app, you get a VPN, antivirus, password manager, spam call protection, dark web monitoring, and even up to $5 million in identity theft insurance, all backed by 24-7 U.S.-based fraud support. Other companies might sell just credit monitoring or just a VPN. Aura gives you all of it together at the same price competitors charge for just one service.

If you've been listening to the show for a while, you know this is something I care about. We've had regenerative farmers and health experts on. We've talked about soil health, clean water, glyphosate, food security, and how disconnected most Americans are from where their food actually comes from. Might be time to start paying some attention. We've talked about foreign ownership of American farmland, China. We even did an episode that called out the government for selling off public lands in Utah. And when you start looking at all of it together, you realize there's a lot going on between the land, the food supply, and the people who are actually trying to produce real food in this country. And that's why I trust Moink. Moink was started by Lucinda, an 8th generation family farmer to help small independent family farms ship high quality meat directly to your door. We're talking wild caught salmon, grass fed and grass finished beef, pasture raised pork, grass fed lamb and pasture raised chicken. And this is the kind of meat you actually want to feed your family. It's antibiotic free, they do not use growth hormones and they do not feed gmo grains and they're not adding solutions to the chicken or sugar to the bacon moink connects you back to the source you're not just buying meat from some giant supply chain and hoping for the best you're supporting independent family farms that care about the land the animals and the quality of the food they produce when you purchase from moink you're not just getting better meat for your family. You're making a real, meaningful impact on family farms all across America. Please, give it a try. Join the mission to fight for the family farm, because you know what? They fight for us.

Here at Sean Ryan Show, research is a big part of everything we do. We're constantly digging through articles, reports, timelines, and backgrounds so we can ask better questions and understand the subjects we're covering. And one tool we've been using a lot for that is Claude. Claude has become part of our workflow. We use it for episode research, pressure testing different angles, and even our hot question segment because it helps us connect ideas and sharpen questions before we get on the air. What stands out is Claude does more than give you a quick answer. It helps organize the information, work through the problem, and get to a clearer way of thinking about it. Claude extends your thinking to tackle the problems that matter. With features like deep research and connectors, Claude can help bring context together from the tools you're already using.
