In this episode of Man vs Mind, we dive headfirst into our love/hate relationship with our phones. Are we addicted? Dependent? Or just trying to stay afloat in a digital tsunami of pings, pings, and more pings?
Tim and J talk screen time shame, notification anxiety, and that weird little dopamine hit you get from absolutely nothing at all. We ask: what are we avoiding when we scroll? Can we even remember the last time we were truly bored? And how the hell do we balance being present dads with being on-call humans 24/7?
Plus, we talk digital detoxes, bedtime routines, childhood screen time, and the sheer terror of being left alone with your own thoughts. We even consider a no-phone challenge.
Also featuring: Zoiks, old BlackBerrys, the term “soporific”, and a return to the Non-Certified Therapy Club™.
