Simpler Times? | 325

John Jamingo and the Duchess take listeners on a hilarious and nostalgic journey through the tech, culture, and quirks of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s in true Boomer Bunker style.

From the outrageous price of early home computers and the wonders of dial-up internet to Blockbuster adventures and the agony of memorizing phone numbers, they recount the days before instant downloads and smartphones.

The hosts also share some hilarious listener voicemails and delve into modern absurdities, such as pedicabs in New York, AI-generated podcast scripts, and the generational divide over tech adoption.

Plus, Duchess tests her voiceover chops with a freshly minted outro, and the show wraps up with a fun round of classic trivia.
