Offline Daze is a nostalgic smack in the face for anyone who thinks human interaction peaked with emojis. Hosted by two 80s kids who survived dial-up, the Oregon trail, cassette tapes, and actual boredom, this podcast rewinds to a time when people made eye contact, kids played outside on purpose, and you had to wait a whole week to see the next episode of your favorite show. No algorithms, no infinite scroll — just the pure chaos of analog life. Tune in and remember what it was like to exist without a screen glued to your face.
Each episode dives into the sights, sounds, and stories of a world before Wi-Fi — when connection meant being present, and memories weren't measured in likes. Whether you grew up in the analog age or just wish you had, Offline Daze is your time machine to a slower, realer kind of living.
Offline Daze S2E11: Why Am I Tipping a Robot? feat. Zane
On this episode of Offline Daze, Ryan and Coley sit down with Zane, owner of Zane's Italian Bistro in Denver and a creator known for his funny TikTok and Instagram videos, to talk about life before the internet and how technology has changed almost everything.
Zane shares what it's like running a restaurant in the age of self-service kiosks, rising labor costs, and online reviews. The guys debate the absurdity of being asked to tip after ordering through a screen, and talk about how a staged viral video turned into a wave of real Google reviews.
Then it's a trip back to the 90s: pagers, Nokia phones, the Motorola Razr, the original Game Boy, Tetris, baseball memories, and growing up with far more freedom and far less parental tracking. Zane also talks about limiting screen time for his kids and why today's kids sometimes prefer a phone to a giant TV or a traditional game console.
Are we the last generation that remembers both worlds? And what happens when even ordering dinner, making friends, and learning something new are mediated by technology?

Offline Daze S2E10: Why Don't They Make Comedies Like This Anymore? feat. Corey Bray
On this episode of Offline Daze, Ryan and Coley sit down with Austin comedian and writer Corey Bray to talk about growing up with the comedies that defined the 90s and early 2000s, why that kind of comedy seems harder to find today, and whether Hollywood really can't make those movies anymore.
Corey talks about growing up watching movies like The Big Lebowski, Office Space, Superbad, Kingpin, Clerks, Tommy Boy and other comedies that were willing to be stupid, uncomfortable and completely ridiculous.
The guys debate whether the problem is political correctness, cancel culture, changing audiences or simply the people financing movies being afraid to take risks.
Corey also talks about his own journey into stand-up comedy, including his first open mic, his 230-page comedy writing document, working in tech and turning the frustrations of corporate life into comedy.

Offline Daze S2E9: He Hit A Golf Ball 486 Yards?! feat. World #1 long drive champ Scottie Pearman
What does it take to hit a golf ball 486 yards?
On this episode of Offline Daze, Ryan sits down with Greensboro, North Carolina's own Scottie Pearman, a professional World Long Drive competitor who has reached the number one ranking in the world.
Scottie talks about the unbelievable journey that took him from baseball and basketball to golf, and eventually into professional Long Drive.
He tells the story of watching Long Drive on TV in 2015 and thinking, "I think I could do that." What happened next wasn't exactly according to plan. After already having major knee surgery, Scottie blew out his other knee just ten balls into his first attempt at a Long Drive qualifier.
But that wasn't the end of the story!
