  Speaker 2: The psychiatrists are saying, you're not missing the styles of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the eighties so much. And they did say, you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: shoulder pads and arcades and big air, but you're missing
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the simpler things in life, like the everyday life things
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: that we had in the eighties. And I would say
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: this goes to the nineties too, like the things that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I'm about to share.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, before you share, it has to be all the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: gadgets we have. You know, we didn't have many options
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: back in the day. It was either on a rainy day,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: board games or maybe even a and that was about it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You know. No one was on their sofa on their
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: phone all day.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We were on a sofa watching TV.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Oh you had TV, and you were lucky if you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: had cable, yes, And if you didn't have cable, you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: had three channels, maybe four.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, simpler times, simpler times. But yeah, they think the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: reasons that we may be feeling nostalgic for it now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in particular because these are stressful times. Number one, being
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: unreachable when you're away from home. We literally cannot get away.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: That's very true, even anymore.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Even on a plane. Nowadays. You used to be able
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to get on a plane and shut your phone off
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in four hours or whatever however the flight was. But
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: now you could be online, texting, you could. You can't
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: get away from.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Anything, not being bombarded by constant news and notifications, correct
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: enjoying hobbies without turning them into contents. Yes, I should
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: film this, I know and post it on my story. No,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that just were ruined the whole purpose, right, being able
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to fix things yourself.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I've never been able to do that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I never had that skill set either ever.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But you're right. Now you can go to YouTube and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: well CATCHBT.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But if you can, then you're back to fixing it yourself.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's true.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Like that. That does help out, but we've always got
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to hire somebody. We try trusting what you saw and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: heard because there's a lot of misinformation. There was too
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: much information, Yeah, and then we don't know the sources
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and living in a world where scarcity made experiences feel
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: more special. Okay, So the psychiatrist is saying that modern
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: technology has brought plenty of benefits but also created information overload,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: NonStop connectivity, endless choices. The real nostalgia, he says, is
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: for a slower, less complicated way of living.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: That makes sense actually, now that you talk about this,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I mean if someone says I missed the eighties, they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: don't miss a mullet. They don't miss the shoulder pads
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: as acasion or the big hair. It's just everything you mentioned, right,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: didn't have.
• 2:58

• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It felt like we had a lot again, I'll do
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: eighties and nineties. It felt like we had a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, you know, and we had no
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: idea what was about to come our way exactly.

  Speaker 2: So nineties, you know, as we were getting into the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: having computers at home and your cell phones and everything
