to brick or not to brick

Julia and Hailey are back in the neighborhood and this week they're getting into something living rent free in everyone's heads — our situationship with our phones. Specifically: is the Brick, the physical social media blocker that locks you out of your apps, actually worth it? Or are we just coping? The girls break down whether spending real money on a device to stop your own bad habits is giving "main character self-discipline" or just another impulse buy collecting dust in three weeks.They also get into the flip phone renaissance — people are actually ditching smartphones to escape doom scrolling, and honestly the vision is there, but is it realistic or are we just romanticizing a detox we'll last two days on? If you've ever caught yourself doomscrolling at 1am, said "I need to get off my phone" for the 47th time, or felt like your screen time report was personally attacking you — this episode is for you. New episodes every Wednesday, follow the pod and tell your neighbors.
