We Need to Be Bored More...

from The Better Basics Podcast · host Matt Stone and Dylan Waldhuetter

Hot Topic: David Protein BarsWorth It? Are Machines Worth It for Functional Strength?Main Course: In this episode, we make the case that boredom isn’t something to avoid—it’s something we’re missing. Inspired by a reel that highlights how we’ve filled every quiet moment with noise, we break down why that might be costing us creativity, focus, and clarity. We dig into the science of boredom, how it impacts your thinking, and why constantly needing stimulation can hurt your discipline, training, and consistency. The goal isn’t to be bored all the time—but to stop eliminating it completely and start making space for better ideas and better results.Q&A: I heard a congresswoman refer to social media as the “big tobacco” of our generation. Do you guys agree? If not, what are the other things that we are allowing to dominate our economy that are having massive negative impacts on public health?
