Stuff You Should Know · Battle Royale: Optimists vs Pessimists · 16 Dec 2025 podcast

Are you going to reveal your score?

So out of 24, I scored 11.

And I was like, that doesn't sound very good.

And I looked at the explanation in scoring and it says below 13 is lower than typical optimism and may warrant clinical attention.

So I got really upset about this because that's like basically the test scoring academic version of going, ouch.

Yeah.

I want to take that test.

So send that to me, will you?

You should.

I'll send it to you.

Okay.

But I went on, I guess, a bit of a tailspin.

So I tried to make myself feel better.

I went and listened to some Kenny G to brighten my mood.

That'll do it.

And I was just sitting there.

I realized I was just sitting there waiting for him to screw up eventually.

So I stopped listening to Kenny G. Right.

And I went and listened to Alone Again naturally, and then everything was all right again.

Okay.
