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.

🔍 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
