It started with a toaster.
A simple, innocent appliance whose only job used to be: bread goes in, toast comes out.

But not anymore.

In this episode, I spiral (gracefully… mostly) into the modern insanity of “smart” everything. What used to require one button now demands decisions, settings, updates, and—at one point—reading the manual… for a toaster. A toaster.

From there, things only get worse.

We take a walk down memory lane to a time when:

•  TVs had knobs instead of software updates 
•  Cars didn’t beep, blink, and emotionally judge your driving 
•  Phones stayed in one place and didn’t double as a space shuttle control panel 
•  Computers didn’t collapse into useless bricks the second Wi-Fi sneezed 

Somewhere along the way, simple became complicated… and “advanced” started feeling a lot like “annoying.”

This episode is a humorous rant about modern technology, everyday frustration, and the quiet suspicion that maybe… just maybe… we’ve made everything way harder than it needs to be.

Also:
 If the power ever goes out, we’re all standing around like confused squirrels.

Enjoy.
