  • I've always wanted a one eyed doll.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

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

  • No stupid questions today on the show.

  • How can you improve your gift giving game?

  • I love getting wine so that I can then give it to someone else.

  • How many bottles of wine are re gifted?

  • I think it's gotta be over 100%.

  • Angela, a question today from one Julianna Bonner, who writes to say that she is a senior economics major at Lehigh.

  • University, which is close to my hometown here.

  • Philadelphia, that is.

  • She writes that her dad, whose name is Neil Bonner, is who, quote, got me into your podcast.

  • She writes that her dad has undergraduate and master's degrees in economics.

  • He also has an MBA, and he now works for Nielsen.

  • She writes, he inspired me to read all the freakonomics books, and he was the reason I wanted to major in economics.

  • But then she says, don't worry, Angela, I am also minoring in psychology.

  • I get the silver medal.

  • Julianna continues, my dad and I facetime every other week to talk about your show, and it is one of the things I look forward to the most, unfortunately.

  • So that was all great news up till there.

  • But now, unfortunately, he might be the hardest person to shop for during the holidays.
