The Checkup with Doctor Mike · Why Rainn Wilson Loves Paramedics & Thinks Dwight Schrute Is MAHA · 17 Sep 2025 podcast

We're here talking about these issues.

I have suffered from mental health issues myself.

I've gone through really difficult times.

Uh, I have an anxiety disorder.

Um, uh,

And I've been in treatment for anxiety, depression, loneliness.

And this is all greatly exacerbated by social media.

And how do I put this?

Let me put it this way.

I barely made it out of my 20s.

I was never like fully like, but I did have some very dark thoughts about like, why am I here?

Why should I even be here?

And if in my 20s, I had had unlimited distraction on my phone, and this is the most dangerous and colossal experiment like ever perpetrated on the human species.

Like here's 7 billion of us.

Let's give like, I don't know, four or 5 billion of them, little pocket computers that have endless games, endless distraction, social media,

YouTube, video clips, TikTok, endless scrolling, endless news and doom scrolling.

So you can just be wired into the news hourly and watching me.

And of course, what makes you click on a news?

Outrage.

So every hour there's some news story that's like, oh, I can't believe it.
