    Duncan and Ollie dive into the weird world of "going viral" these days. They chat about how algorithms have messed with what it even means to be viral, how our feeds are all hyper-personalized now, and whether we're all starting to enjoy missing out on stuff instead of being scared of it. They also get into what's next for viral content, how comedy's changing, and why real, unscripted moments still matter in our algorithm-obsessed world.
