Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for Nina's what's trending? Happy Halloween. Hey, dress up
for work A we see you. Maybe HR does too,
so be careful. But if you're one of those people
that's out here sleeping with the night light, you need
to be careful. And I'm gonna tell you why in
just a second. But first I have a very legit question.
All the time, when people talk about candy on Halloween, right,

(00:21):
they're like, what's the worst candy ever? What candy do
you hate the most? The answer is always the same, right,
candy corn, candy corn exactly? So why is that one
so popular? I don't know, but this is what throws me,
and this is the question. Every year, approximately thirty five
million pounds of candy corn are made. Nine billion pieces
of candy corn, the candy that everybody hates, is made

(00:43):
every single year. That's great. Why I have no idea.
I guess for that one or two or three people
out there that like it, they have all the candy
corn they can eat, no kid, I don't know. That
feels like a waste to me. But back to those
of you that sleep with the night light. Light Now,
studies say that if you sleep with a night light
it could give you a heart attack, oh, or actually

(01:06):
increase your chances of having one. And it's not just
the night light, it's if you sleep with a television
on or have any other kind of light around you.
For some reason, part of this came from the fact
that people are still afraid of the dark. There's thirty
percent of adults are still afraid of the dark, and
so they ought to have night lights to help them sleep.
But the study says that it could literally induce a

(01:28):
heart attack. What yeah, oh, I know. It just just
says if you sleep with extra darkness, you're healthier. Oh,
that's fun. Was that just go back to like the
patterns of like your rhythmic patterns of sleep rhythm, quick
daylight savings and all that kind of stuff. So, I
don't know, kick that night light to the side if
you want, or you know, risk it. Whatever. That is

(01:51):
what's trending.
