ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Quote Mining, Ryan and Leslie dig into a listener favorite from Greta S.: "All good things must come to an end." They talk about missing a study abroad in London before it was even over, a fifth-grade year with a favorite teacher, that was so great it was hard to watch it end, and the moments with kids that turn out to be the last time without anyone realizing it. They also discuss why Chaucer's original line said that everything ends, with no mention of "good," how loss aversion makes the last bite of dessert hit harder than finishing the lima beans, why the news cycle proves people move on faster than we think, and the difference between a natural ending and one we choose and then blame on the universe. Along the way they cover predicted outcome value theory, locus of control, job rejections you'll never get an explanation for, and a friend's epiphany about learning to enjoy cut flowers while they're still alive.
