Call Me Limbo
Too Online, Too Tired & Trying to Stay Human
May 15, 2026
Season 8
Episode 167
David & Dai
At some point, the scrolling stops feeling fun.
This week on Call Me Limbo, a conversation about screen time spirals into something much bigger: burnout, overstimulation, emotional exhaustion, and the weird reality of trying to stay human in an online world that constantly demands our attention.
We talk about doomscrolling, cheap dopamine, political fatigue, loneliness, TikTok propaganda, social media relationships, and why boredom now feels almost impossible to tolerate.
And somehow… we still manage to laugh through it.
Because honestly?
If your phone says you spent 13 hours online this week, maybe it’s not just a “you” problem anymore. 😭
