One forgotten bag on the way out the door for a fishing trip turned into the conversation Tommy had been avoiding for weeks, and by the end of it, new screen time rules were on the table. This week Tommy and Tim dig into why that dopamine hit from scrolling hooks kids and adults exactly the same way, and why fighting it feels so much harder than it should.
They also get into what it actually means to sacrifice as a parent, the kind that doesn't get talked about enough, why the small wins matter a lot more than people give them credit for, and how a genuinely rough week still somehow ended with one of the best weekends either of them has had all summer. Loud, honest, a little unhinged in places, same as always.
This show was never about the numbers, it's about knowing you're not alone.
