  • Giving status to flatus and class to gas.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Stephen Dubner and you're listening to.

  • No stupid questions today on the show.

  • Which sin is the seven deadly sins list missing?

  • Wow.

  • This struck a nerve.

  • So, Angela, we have sinned together, you and I, seven times or at least talked about it.

  • That could be interpreted in so many ways, Steven.

  • But yes, we talked about sin together.

  • We've talked about the seven deadly sins.

  • We've talked about the survey that you put together to get to our deepest, darkest reckoning of our own failings.

  • And for this series on the seven deadly sins, there's only one task remaining and that is as follows.

  • We asked our listeners at the very beginning of this process to nominate what they thought was an appropriate 8th deadly sin.

  • Something that belongs on the list but isn't on the list.

  • So we have appropriately, eight nominees from our listeners that we've on the back end triaged a little bit, but we got, I would say, hundreds of suggestions by email and we have winnowed them down to eight nominees for the 8th.

  • And I'm gonna read you the first one.

  • Okay.

  • This is from Adam Noel in Detroit.

  • Adam writes to say, my 8th deadly sin is perfectionism.
