❄️ Winter Arrives Early
A simple ad for winter rims turns into a full-blown social experiment. Guido Piraino unpacks 500 marketplace messages, explores why people don’t read anymore, and shares a funny yet revealing lesson about human nature, responsibility, and the modern rush to avoid doing the work ourselves.
Host Guido Piraino opens the episode reflecting on the sudden early snowfall—nearly 20 cm in November—and how it sparks a familiar panic: the annual scramble for winter tires.
🛞 The Marketplace Experiment
What begins as a simple ad for 15-inch winter rims turns into a fascinating social study. Guido shares the unbelievable flood of messages—hundreds in two days—and reveals what the responses say about modern buyer behavior, attention spans, and basic reading comprehension.
💬 “Are These Still Available?”
Guido dives into the psychology behind the most common question online sellers face. Is it caution or just laziness? His witty and relatable breakdown of people’s default responses will have every online seller nodding along.
🚗 The “Will They Fit My Car?” Crowd
The episode takes a humorous turn as Guido encounters a steady stream of buyers who overlook the answers already written in plain sight. Through laughter and light sarcasm, he calls out the “do-it-for-me” mentality that has crept into our everyday interactions.
🧠 Lessons in Responsibility
As the episode wraps, Guido distills it all into a larger life message—about personal accountability, using the tools we have, and taking responsibility for our own preparedness—whether it’s for winter or for life in general.
