The Anxious Generation: Screen Time, Kids & What Phones Are Doing to Us

Tonight’s episode is a little different.After a parent night at my son’s school, I’ve been thinking a lot about something bigger than politics — how smartphones, social media, and constant screen time are changing our kids… and honestly, changing us too.From anxiety and depression to shorter attention spans and rising polarization, it feels like we’ve traded play, community, and real-world connection for algorithms, dopamine hits, and infinite scroll.As a dad (and just a guy trying to figure this out), I’m talking through what a “phone-based childhood” might be costing our families — and why maybe we all need to step outside, put the screens down, and reconnect with the real world a little more.Just one guy, a truck, and some thoughts on parenting, technology, and how we got here.
