S2 EP. 2: LIFE BEFORE SMARTPHONES

In Ariel’s first episode, we start with his origin story and go back to a time when life was simpler — before smartphones took over. We talk about growing up from Nokia to iPhone, Android to iOS, and how technology slowly changed the way we communicate, make plans, and live our daily lives. Dati, when you made plans, you actually showed up — walang group chats, walang “seen,” at walang last-minute cancellations via message. Very Pinoy throwback moments included: brownouts — kandila, kwentuhan, at doing nothing together because there was no electricity and no internet. This episode is a nostalgic, honest conversation about how much technology has changed us — and what it was like when things felt more present and personal. Perfect for anyone who remembers life before smartphones
