In this episode Kam Raslan welcomes two newcomers to the cultural trident; BFMers Michael Gong and Hezril Asyraaf join a discussion on three nostalgic conundrums. We start off by examining pioneers - is it best to be first? In hindsight, the second best tends to do better. But who knows what's best, anyway? Our previous generation, of course. And Hezril wants to know if it is all true - he asks, has society seen its best days. To cap off our trio's collective existential crises, we also discuss why and how people appreciate something that's been around before they were born.
