Everyone get into your seats right now.
You're listening to no stupid questions, the podcast that explores the weird and occasionally wonderful ways in which humans behave.
Here are your hosts, Stephen Dubner and Angela Duckworth.
Angela, I have today the question, I think, to end all questions.

The things you hang a side of beef.

Yeah.
Yeah.
