The Dopamine Dilemna
Manage episode 469020032 series 3649858
Right, let's talk about how we've all traded pints for pixels, shall we? Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are diving into the proper mess that is modern life - where we're more likely to get our dopamine hit from a Instagram like than a ciggy behind the pub.
We're chatting about everything from why your kids have American accents (cheers, Cocomelon) to whether social media is actually worse for you than a proper night down the local. Spoiler: at least the hangover from Twitter doesn't make you vom in your mate's car.
๐ Key Moments: 00:00 - Kicking off with why we're all addicted to our phones 02:00 - The great British pastime swap: From ciggies to scrolling 08:00 - The phone-in-loo confession (we've all been there) 13:00 - Peak parenting techniques (bullying your kids so school bullies can't) 19:00 - Why Gen Z prefers DMs to actual human interaction 27:00 - The authenticity paradox in politics 34:00 - How social media is rewiring kids' brains (and why your 7-year-old shouldn't be on TikTok) 42:00 - The American accent epidemic & iPad babysitting 48:00 - Why you shouldn't give your kids cocaine OR smartphones
