Hey, this is Steve Levitt. I get asked all the time by listeners what my favorite episodes of the show are.

So with that in mind, I went back and I picked out 10 episodes I really love. And we'll be putting one of

those episodes into our feet each month for the next 10 months. It won't crowd out new episodes, those will still be coming every other week as usual.

You'll just see an encore presentation in one of our off weeks.

One of my favorite episodes, without a doubt, is the one I did with my two oldest daughters.

There was every reason to think it wouldn't be very good.

Certainly, the typical conversation I have with my daughters isn't very interesting.

But the combination of sitting together in a recording studio

knowing we were going to talk without the distractions of everyday life

and me ahead of time thinking mindfully about what we might talk about

resulted in a conversation

that felt very special. For sure, it's the most personal and emotional of the episodes we've done.

In addition, at the end of the episode, I also asked my daughters to give an update on what

they've been doing with their lives since the episode aired back in 2021.

Today's episode is a little different. My two guests today are my oldest daughters, Amanda

and Lily. And while they haven't yet won a Nobel Prize like some of my other illustrious guests,

I think they'll have something interesting to say. Their thoughtful 21-year-olds

trying to figure out their place in the world, which isn't always easy. Welcome to people

I mostly admire with Steve Levitt. I suspect you will see a very different side of me today.

We've talked a lot about parenting on this podcast,

but today you get to actually see me in action as a parent.

And there can be little doubt that I am way better at being an economist
