#51 MovieFone, Phone Books, and Life Before WiFi—How Did We Even Function?
About this episode
Josh just got an actual phone book in the mail… which means they still exist?! That got us thinking—how did we function before everything was on demand? From calling MovieFone to check movie times (without seeing trailers), flipping through giant yellow books just to find a pizza place, and actually figuring out how to build or fix stuff without YouTube, we survived an era where patience wasn’t optional.
Plus, the lost art of developing pictures (and praying they turned out), building dangerous bike ramps with zero engineering knowledge, and the million-dollar question: Why are we in such a hurry now? Buckle up for a nostalgic trip to a time when life was slower, dumber, and somehow… better?
