Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This stuber in the den with Dangerous Day. Well, they
say there's a first time for everything, except for maybe
the Vikings winning the Super Bowl, I don't know. New
York Times has a list of twenty four things that
happened for the very first time ever in twenty twenty four.
They covered a lot of bases. Here's a few of
the best ones. Things that happened for the very first

(00:20):
time In twenty twenty four, scientists detected water on an
asteroid's surface. Parents were charged with the convicted in a
mass shooting. Pig kidney was successfully transferred into a human.
The human said, Pink Pink, I feel great. And Extreme
Marathon are finished, running the length of Africa from top
to the bottom ten thousand miles in three hundred and

(00:42):
fifty two days. A street food taco stand in Mexico
got a Michelin star. Other things that happened for the
very first time. In twenty twenty four, Saudi Arabia hosted
their first swimsuit fashion show. Scientists observed an orangutan treating
herself for medical herbs in the wild. Breaking made its
own Olympic debut Break Dancing, who was short lived though

(01:02):
won't return in twenty twenty eight in Los Angeles and
if father son duo played in an NBA game for
the very first time, it was Lebron James and his
son Ronnie first things in twenty twenty four. I thought
this show is going to be funny finally for the
first time in twenty twenty four. But you know, there's
still some time in the two People are talking about
this online, talking about professions that were once highly respected.

(01:26):
In some cases, it's sad that they're not more highly regarded.
Some of the most notable ones careers that used to
be highly respected retail, they're not as respected anymore, primarily
because of wage reasons. A bank teller, somebody said, it
used to be the foot in the door for finance industry.
Now basically it's a twenty something trying to sell you
a credit card. Taxi drivers maybe not as well respected

(01:47):
with the addition of Uber and Lyft, astrologers, royals used
to consult with them. Teachers, lack of respect from government,
parents and especially kids, and by the way, your kids
have to be taught to respect teachers. Also, journalist. Something
happened along the way where it stopped being about delivering
the news in a timely manner, and start up being
about getting clicks and being the first to report something

(02:09):
even if it isn't true. Politicians are not respected anymore.
According to this list, also professions that used to be
more respected, working for the airlines, travel agents, truck drivers,
mail carriers. They say these days that jobs are overworked
and underpaid, and one person said, the real question is
there a profession out there where it is truly respected?

(02:30):
Somebody said firefighters, another one said doctors. You'd have to
agree with that, but I'd also add radio DJ didn't
make the list, even though I'll admit, you know, not
respected like we used to. I'm, as a matter of fact,
a complete joke, but in an endearing way. To me
again for another episode of Deeper in the Den with
Dangerous Dave right here.
