    S7E24 The Seven Questions of Quantitude (Plus or Minus Two)

    2026/06/30 | 39 mins.
    In this week's episode Greg and Patrick revisit their earlier promise of creating seven questions that will help you use your Quantitude to annoy the people you love. Having broken their promise, they are free to propose nine questions for which they seek a mnemonic device that does not include an acronym. Along the way they discuss relationship mandates, mildly inebriated brothers, hypoxic voice memos, fish vs. ice cubes, Smithy's corpse, talking to houseplants, statistical baggage, Henry V, Pascal's wager, My Very Educated Mother, massaging cryptids, making mischief, being cruciferous, Peter and Gary, pneumatic devices, and so that happened.

About Quantitude
A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way.
