In this episode, the crew squints at modern life and asks if nostalgia — vinyl, Blockbuster runs, printed pages and forced small talk — might be the antidote to algorithm-fed boredom. Expect arguments about audiobooks, movie remakes, airport pickups and whether staying at a friend’s house is a love letter or a passive-aggressive hostage situation. ## Topics Discussed:- Is tech making life easier or quietly killing desirable rituals - The streaming era vs analog experiences like vinyl and Blockbuster nights - When is it disrespectful to ask someone to pick you up from the airport - Movie remakes and Hollywood’s risk-free comic book obsession - Renting a car and travel etiquette vs staying in friends’ homes ## Orlando Spots Mentioned- Atomic Barber Company — Hannibal Square, Winter Park - Videodrome style Blockbuster (vintage video rental nostalgia) ## Golden Nuggets:- Deliberate, analog rituals create memorable shared experiences - Say your travel preferences plainly — boundaries are friendship glue - Choose presence over endless scrolling — the rare choice is the fun one ## Timestamps:00:00 Intro & random trolley confession 05:22 Audiobooks vs print 17:37 Finding treasure at Blockbuster style stores 18:48 Live experience vs recorded content 24:30 Streaming fatigue 33:02 The airport pickup debate 38:15 Personal space vs hospitality 44:07 Host schedules 55:29 Funkler nuggets## Where to Find Us Funklers?Trevor — https://www.instagram.com/atomicchilisauce Nick — https://www.instagram.com/orlandotrivia Pragasen — https://www.instagram.com/talktopr Amanda - https://www.instagram.com/intuitivemuse Edd — https://www.instagram.com/eddsiu/
