I'm a physical media nerd so I'm out of touch too but the way they react in genuine shock at things like "Netflix has been renting out physical discs until NOW?!?!" and "people still buy CDs?!?!" like Yeah Guys.

And the questions they ask further into those topics just get infuriating. "Well now that Netflix doesn't rent discs anymore, where are people going to see those movies that aren't on streaming?" and the only answer they can think of is piracy. It's like they forgot blu-rays existed at all.

When reminded that CDs are still manufactured and sold, Luke asked "how would you play them?" and Linus said "with a CD player?" and Luke asked "where can you even get a CD player anymore though?" like Dude Come On I saw a CD player at fucking Kroger last month are you being serious

And then of course he seemed baffled that someone would buy a CD when streaming exists, he didn't say it but he seemed to believe they were in some way worse sound quality to streaming which is an absolutely silly belief I've started to see popping up. Never forget that CDs are uncompressed stereo PCM audio.
