Welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast. This is your host, Stephen Robles, and joining me today is special guest, Georgia Dow.

She's a psychotherapist, two-time Brazilian jujitsu champion. She also co-hosts Apple Talk with Renee Richie. Georgia, thanks for joining me today.

Oh, thank you for having me.

You know, you also have a new YouTube, like a series or kind of videos that you've been doing on your own YouTube channel,

where you react to things in popular media, like movies and TV shows, and I actually just saw the Justice League one.

And it was hilarious because you kind of broke down everything that, you know, as Batman is trying to recruit these different superheroes

and how much he's not doing well from an empathizing standpoint. So very funny. Love those.

You don't know how much hate I got for me attacking Batman. And Batman is actually my favorite comic book hero.

Close to, yeah, but I didn't like the way that he was portrayed in this as the world's greatest detective.

Well, not to get you even more letters and emails, but as far as Baffleck versus other actors playing Batman, which is your favorite.

We'll say that. You don't have to comment on Baffleck specifically.

Oh, fine. I'll say Christian Bale. He's my favorite. I'm sorry.

Same. No, same.

Yes. I agree. I agree. Christian Bale, Dark Knight Trilogy. I think too date is probably the best portrayal of Batman.

But I am, I am fully with you. Yes. Very good. Well, this isn't a Batman of podcasts, but it could very well turn into that.

But I wanted to have you on the show because some of the new features that Apple has released at WWDC with focus and do not disturb and all that.

Use a psychotherapist. I wanted to get your perspective on some of the things in the world of tech as far as notifications and distractions and all that.

And Apple and Google, they've been making strides over the years to help users limit distractions and pay more attention, be more focused and present.

And I'm curious in your experience over the last five years, maybe 10 years, how has our relationship with technology as it's become a bigger and bigger part of our lives, especially since a pandemic.

What has been the overall effect on people's mental health and status as kind of all this technology is in our lives?

You know, it's funny because I think that technology gets a really bad rap on a lot of things.

We do probably spend way too much time on technology and that takes away from us being even just bored and being able to do other things.
