Episode Description

Welcome to the very first real episode of Pint-Sized Logic! Today, we are kicking things off by diving deep into the terrifying, hilarious, and exhausting world of what happens when life becomes completely measurable. We are already used to our phones tracking our screen time and our "unofficial sponsor" the Whoop telling us we're essentially dead on a measly 37% recovery. But what if we had a visible scoreboard for absolutely everything?

Join us for our big debut as we debate whether having stats for all of our daily actions would make us better humans or just slowly suck all the enjoyment out of life. We explore everything from the anxiety of secret snacking to pondering if we'd truly want to check a stat revealing how many strangers met us and immediately thought, "what a dick".

Things get a little weird as we discuss Chris's world-record capacity for eating 16 raspberry and coconut crumbles in one sitting , the existential dread of checking your personal "narcissism stat" , and why treating life like a game of The Sims might just break our carefully curated illusions. Ultimately, we try to figure out if we're enjoying things less because we're too busy managing and measuring them. After all, as Albert Einstein famously said, "not everything that counts can be counted".
