Your Fitbit is Making You Crazy

About this episode

Bill and Dan discuss the obsession with health data and metrics, exploring its impact on our lives and the balance between being informed and becoming obsessed.

Bill and Dan dive into the modern obsession with data: Fitbits, Oura Rings, sleep scores, heart rate variability, recovery metrics, and the endless stream of numbers telling us how we're doing. What starts as a conversation about aging, mortality, and the celebrities we've lost turns into a deeper discussion about why we're so desperate to measure everything and whether all that information is helping or hurting us. From wearable tech and health anxiety to baseball analytics, longevity gurus, and the stories we tell ourselves about getting older, Bill and Dan explore the fine line between being informed and becoming obsessed. They also share some old radio war stories, reflections on family, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to live life is to stop tracking it and actually experience it.
