About this listen
Before most people have finished their first sip of coffee, Kid is already yelling at Mark Zuckerberg like he personally misplaced the Wi-Fi password. Fresh off courtroom footage of tech royalty under fire, he spirals into a caffeine-fueled indictment of doom scrolling, algorithm worship, and the suspicious innocence of billionaires who “just built a great product.” He calls out the addiction machine, the filters, and the not-so-subtle engineering that keeps everyone glued to glowing rectangles, all while admitting he’s as hooked as the rest of them. Supervillains, zombies, and shiny objects all make an appearance.
From there, the heat shifts to parents who handed over the devices and now want someone else to fix it. Kid balances blame between big tech and distracted moms and dads, weaving in temptation, self-control, and the absurdity of government oversight. It’s early-morning moral philosophy delivered at full volume, ending somewhere between accountability and exasperation.
