  • Hey there.

  • I am Stephen Dubner.

  • If you were listening last week, you know that this is the final new episode of no Stupid Questions.

  • Everyone here at the Freakonomics Radio Network is proud of the five years worth of episodes we've made.

  • And we are especially grateful for you, our amazing community of listeners, and we don't want to leave you with nothing to listen to.

  • So starting next week, we are going to replay this series from the beginning, more than 200 episodes.

  • So come back then to hear the very first episode of no Stupid Questions.

  • And now for their final new episode, here are Angela and Mike.

  • I'm excited to learn from you what the purpose of life is.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Mike Mahn.

  • And you're listening to no Stupid Questions.

  • Today on the show, what do we do with unanswered questions?

  • What is life all about?

  • What is the nature of human existence?

  • Mike, this is our final episode, and to be honest, it's a bittersweet moment.

  • It is a bittersweet moment.

  • I mean, look, together we've discussed so many amazing questions about human nature, and the end of the show means that there are a lot of questions that are going to go unanswered.

  • Wait, we didn't answer all questions about human nature?

  • Shockingly, no.
