"Imagine kids that have never seen the beauty of the world..." Haines said, to which guest co-host Abby Huntsman — who was filling in for Alyssa Farah Griffin on maternity leave — chimed in with a recent study.
"American teens spend an average of five hours on social media [every day]," she revealed. "That adds up to two and a half full months every year of their life. That's an entire summer vacation. An entire summer only on your phone."
