    Sony Blackout Continues | Scary Movie 6 SUCKS | Chris Hansen vs. EDP445 | The Yung Talk Podcast Ep. 49

    The PlayStation blackout has lasted a week, but with GTA6 pre-orders already locked in, does a console boycott actually change anything? Father B unpacks Sony's blackout, digital game ownership, and why spending less (not rage quitting) is the real leverage consumers have. Then he tears into Scary Movie 6, breaking down why the Kaisenat cameo, the Diddy jokes, and the "Ma" parody all miss the mark, and what made the original Wayans Brothers films actually work. To close it out, Father B reacts to Chris Hansen's full "Have a Seat" interview with EDP445 (Bryan Moreland), following Mike Clum's documentary "The Sick Mind of EDP445." A real conversation about predators, platforms, and accountability.

    Claude Interview and Ai Education | The Yung Talk Podcast ep. 48

    We're back with Claude AI for round two — and this time we're going deep on education, learning, and what AI is actually doing to how young people think.In this episode I open up with some movie talk (Obsession, Shrek 5, Scream 7, and why AI might actually win in the film world) before diving into the real conversation: a full interview with Claude AI about whether students using AI to write essays are cheating themselves or just adapting, where the line is between AI helping you learn and AI replacing the learning itself, and why effort and reward have gotten disconnected in how we teach kids today.We talk about pen-and-paper classroom bans, why one teacher for 30 students breaks the whole system, the psychology of curiosity as the real engine behind learning, and what this generation stands to gain — and lose — as AI becomes part of how they define themselves. This is The Yung Talk Podcast: Finding Hope in Hard Conversations.

    Battling Mental Health, Wealth and Inner Self | The Yung Talk Podcast ep. 47

    What does it mean to thrive with your mental health — not just get through it? In Episode 47 of The Yung Talk Podcast, Father B takes you through a raw, personal deep dive into youth mental health. He breaks down the Ken Burns PBS documentary Hiding in Plain Sight, challenges how we talk about Gen Z's future, and shares his own two-week self-experiment tracking the contrast between good and bad mental health habits. He also unpacks The Five Resets by Dr. Aditi Nerurkar and the small daily practices — exercise tied to a show, reading at the park in silence, writing toward progress — that quietly rebuilt his mental foundation. The takeaway? Mental health isn't something you survive. It's something you exist within — and the more you understand it, the more power you have over it.

    The Attention Economy (part 2) | YOUR BRAIN IS THE PRODUCT | The Yung Talk Podcast ep. 46 part 2

    In Part 2 of the Attention Economy series, Father B gets personal. We break down the four foundational harms from Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation — social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction — and Father B walks through his own technology timeline from childhood to now to show how the rewiring actually happened. We also get into the congressional hearings where Zuckerberg struggled to answer for Facebook's role in child exploitation and TikTok's CEO got pressed on Chinese government surveillance of American users. The question isn't whether social media is good or bad — it's about who's being held accountable for the damage and whether anyone in power actually cares enough to fix it. This episode connects the science, the personal experience, and the political reality of what it means to grow up with a phone in your hand. And it ends with a real conversation about hope — what it looks like for the next generation to break the cycle. Next episode: The Mental Health Industrial Complex. They created the wound. Now they're selling you the bandage. 🎙️ Hosted by Father B | New episodes weekly 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro | Ep. 46 Pt. 2: Your Brain Is the Product01:05 – Recap: Screen Addiction, Dopamine & The Attention Economy02:00 – Tristan Harris Testifies to Congress: The Race to the Bottom03:00 – Infinite Scroll, Slot Machines & Removing Stopping Cues05:00 – Father B's YouTube Feed Experiment: What the Algorithm Really Does09:00 – The "New To You" Tab & Taking Back Your Feed12:00 – Father B's Personal Tech Timeline Begins (Pre-2010)14:00 – Era 1: Pre-2010 — Toys, Paint App & Dial-Up Internet20:00 – Era 2: 2010–2014 — Facebook, PSP & Middle School Phone Culture26:00 – Era 3: 2014–2018 — Snapchat Streaks, Instagram & Late Nights29:00 – Instagram Likes, Anxiety & the Narcissism Trap35:00 – Era 4: 2018–Present — Gaming, YouTube & Letting Go of Social Media38:00 – Can You Watch a 2-Hour Film Without Picking Up Your Phone?41:00 – There Will Be Blood & What Good Storytelling Does to Attention43:00 – What Father B Understands Now About His Adolescence46:00 – The Great Rewiring: Jonathan Haidt's 4 Foundational Harms47:00 – Harm #1: Social Deprivation — Online ≠ Real Connection51:00 – Harm #2: Sleep Deprivation — Teenagers Were Never Supposed to Wake Up at 7AM57:00 – Harm #3: Attention Fragmentation — 192 Notifications Per Day01:02:00 – The Facebook Files: They Knew Exactly What They Were Doing to Teen Brains01:08:00 – Play-Based vs Phone-Based: Why Gen Z Lost the Chance to Go to the Club01:13:00 – Harm #4: Addiction — Variable Ratio Reinforcement & Behaviorist Techniques01:20:00 – The Congressional Hearing: Child Exploitation, Zuckerberg & TikTok's CEO01:27:00 – Section 230 & Why These Companies Can't Be Sued01:32:00 – TikTok, ByteDance & Chinese Communist Party Surveillance01:38:00 – What Accountability Actually Looks Like01:43:00 – Finding Hope: Collective Action & The Next Generation01:45:00 – Outro + Preview of Ep. 47: The Mental Health Industrial Complex🔔 Subscribe for weekly deep dives on culture, tech, mental health & real conversations. 👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔁 Share #AttentionEconomy #TheAnxiousGeneration #JonathanHaidt #ScreenAddiction #SocialMedia #TristanHarris #Zuckerberg #TikTokBan #ChildSafety #GenZ #DopamineDetox #PhoneAddiction #YungTalkPodcast #FatherB #MentalHealth #Section230 #FacebookFiles

    The Attention Economy (part 1) | The Yung Talk Podcast Ep. 46 pt. 1

    Phone addiction, screen addiction, and the attention economy are reshaping an entire generation. In this episode of the Yung Talk Podcast, we break down how social media platforms have been profiting from your attention since 2001, why Gen Z is most at risk, and how you can begin to take back control of your dopamine, your focus, and your mind. You are not the consumer — you are the product. Marketers, advertisers, and social media platforms have built billion-dollar industries off of your attention. But what does that actually mean for you, your mental health, and the way you think? In this episode we cover: What the attention economy is and how it works. How your phone and screen time create addictive behavior. Why Gen Z is facing the worst consequences of media addiction. Who is really to blame — the user or the creator? How you can start to reclaim your attention and dopamine. This is just part 1 of a deeper conversation. Join Father B on the Yung Talk Podcast as we unpack one of the most complex and urgent realities of our time.

    Is the entertainment industry as we know it OVER? In Episode 42 of The Yung Talk Podcast, Father B breaks down the biggest media battle of the year — Netflix's $83 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros, Paramount Skydance's shocking $108 billion all-cash counter-offer, and what it all means for the future of movies, theaters, and streaming.
