UNDERSTANDING YOUR PARTNERS GAMING ADDICTION?? W/JOEL CREASEY

Be sure to head into your nearest Krispy Kreme store Krispy Kreme

Ever had your partner tell you that you spend too much time gaming? Or tried explaining that you’re not actually addicted, you’re just trying to hang out with your mates?

That’s basically where this episode with Joel Creasy starts.

We get into the very relatable stuff: trying to balance gaming and relationship time, feeling like your partner isn’t listening, figuring out how to actually communicate without turning everything into an argument, and trying to have your own life while being in a relationship.

Joel also opens up about male loneliness and why so many blokes struggle to talk about what they’re actually feeling. We chat about how social media has made everything more complicated, the pressure to always be online, and how hard it can be to switch off and just be present.

And, of course, there’s plenty of shit-talking along the way, from Joel’s hair transplant to his questionable gaming history and his attempts to get into video games as a teenager.

It’s funny, honest and probably a little too relatable. If you’ve ever argued with your partner about screen time, felt like you weren’t being heard, or wondered why being an adult suddenly became so complicated, you’ll probably see a bit of yourself in this one.
