S2 / Episode 7: Severely Optimized

This week we're talking over-optimization, because let's be honest, we're all a little married to our wearables. Oura Rings, Garmins, ankle-monitor Apple Watch moments, sleep scores that ruin your morning before it even starts. We get into whether all this tracking is actually helping us or just giving us something new to stress about (yes, there's a word for sleep-score anxiety, and yes, we're diving in).We also unpack the wild world of rage bait, from fake "my ex-boyfriend" accounts to influencer drama that might all just be a bit. Then we close it out with a '90s nostalgia game full of Lip Smackers, Easy-Bake Ovens, Doug, and way too many cartoon printouts, as a reminder of when life was simpler. Special guest appearance from Gravy the dog, and we miss you, Chels (enjoy that brand trip, business girl).Your sign to put on some jazz, light a candle, and slow down a little.
