#53-No GPS, No iPhone, No Problem?

from Treeforts and Mixtapes · host Bret Nelson and Josh Brence

Bret’s back from the Netherlands and ready to confess: without Google Maps, he would’ve been 100% lost in the land of bikes and canals. Meanwhile, Josh spent the week living like it was 1994 after completely shattering his iPhone—no texts, no maps, no mindless scrolling. And somehow… he survived. So it got us thinking—what did we even do before smartphones? Could we go back? Would we even want to? In this episode, we question everything, from our total dependence on tech to whether being reachable 24/7 is actually ruining our lives. Also—big news—Josh and Bret make a bold pact to dumb down their smartphones, deleting the junk apps and reclaiming their brains. This episode is part rant, part revelation, and maybe the start of a very low-tech revolution.
