  • I was going to say Apple.

  • Very close, hippopotamus.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Stephen Dubner.

  • And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.

  • Today on the show, is Stephen Dubner a hoarder?

  • Why can't you just call 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

  • Even Got Junk doesn't want my junk.

  • Also, do you have a past, present, or future time perspective?

  • That Thanksgiving of 1989, there was never one like it.

  • Stephen, question for you.

  • Okay.

  • I want to know about your quinoa cabinet.

  • I want to know if it is still full or perhaps even overflowing.

  • And really why I'm asking is when you said that you keep buying box after box of quinoa and never cooking any of it,

  • I had to ask myself, is Stephen a hoarder?

  • So first of all,

  • I would say I've eased off on the quinoa purchase since you talked me through it.

  • Since I shamed you about it.

  • Am I a hoarder?
