    This week on Wrong Way Forward, Katy and Justin return from Thanksgiving with puppies, storms, and some startling realizations about their phone habits. What begins as an innocent chat about boredom quickly unravels into a full-blown intervention on overstimulation, doomscrolling, and why watching TV while also scrolling TikTok might be the new American pastime.

    Katy wonders whether she’s lost the ability to sit still without a screen, Justin admits he can't read without mentally leaving his body, and together they unpack Jonathan Haidt, The Anxious Generation, and why 40% of American two-year-olds having iPads should terrify us all.

    Along the way, they revisit childhood spy clubs, intelligence-related bedwetting (allegedly), parental trauma involving trash-bag mattresses, and the eternal question: Can we actually learn to be present, or is boredom still illegal?

    Katy makes a public New Year’s commitment to a 30-minute-a-day social media limit using a mysterious device called “The Brick,” while Justin negotiates his own battle with TV news dopamine.

    If you've ever found yourself scrolling during a movie, listening to audiobooks at 1.5x, or panicking when your Screen Time report appears, this episode is your people.
