  • What do I need to do to you people?

  • Do you need a telegram?

  • I'm trying to teach you a lesson.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Stephen Dubner.

  • And you're listening to No Stupid Questions.

  • Today on the show, how does facing death change your life?

  • You're with a person who already was an ex-boyfriend.

  • Yeah, I know.

  • That's near death right there.

  • Also, should we be more concerned about things that are high impact or high probability?

  • Would you rather take a chance that there's a nuclear war or have nobody in America everywhere seatbelt again?

  • So Angela I recently had a near-death experience and

  • if I died It would have been not funny exactly no,

  • but at least like a no Henry short story because I almost got killed in a traffic accident

  • while driving back from getting my second COVID vaccine shot.
