Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous Day. Well,
you know everybody wants a cure unless the remedy is
worse than the disease might go the same for motion sickness.
A new study found that music can help alleviate motion sickness.
Seems like great news, but you can't just listen to anything.
The best music to relieve car sickness is gentle music

(00:20):
and cheerful music, which includes stuff like classical music, soft rock,
the playlist they have in coffee shops, whatever enya is.
I guess the joyful pop music includes Happy by Farrell
or Can't Stop This Feeling by Justin Timberlake, Shake It
Off by Taylor Swift, Hakuta Matata from the Lion King soundtrack.
The idea is that motion sickness often causes negative emotions intentions,

(00:41):
which triggers symptoms like dizzyness and nausea. Music can cause
the negative triggers, which can relieve the effects of car
sickness for some people. The study notes that sad or
agitated music could exacerbate the discomfort and motion sickness. The
problem is what cheerful music is. I guess that's up
to somebody's opinion, right, stuff like kids insist on listening

(01:02):
to in the car all the time and literally drives
you crazy, but maybe it's keeping you from getting sick.
It's unclear if the study accounted for different musical tastes
or they just use typical responses from people who have
participated in the experiments. For example, a hard rock fan
might feel happy listening to loud, agitated rock and metal,
a very negative response to yacht rock or the Beach
Boys or a Disney soundtrack. So I wonder if there's

(01:25):
a music that you listen to that might cause it
to be worse for car sickness. But yeah, listening to
Hakuna Matata will keep you from getting car sick. But
what if you get sick just from listening to the
song in the two Well, there's a new report that
says living the American dream now costs over five million dollars.
That's up fourteen percent from last year due to the
rising cost of retirement, healthcare, raising kids, and well just everything.

(01:49):
There's three ways to cly your way to five million dollars,
winning the lottery, becoming an NBA star, or not spending
money on stupid stuff. So people on social media have
been talking about the last one. Somebody asked, what's the
most expensive thing that you've seen somebody buy that they
basically never use. Some of the best dancers a motorhome,
RV or camper. And I saw this case. I had

(02:12):
an ext door neighbor about a brand new camper, parked
it in his driveway, never used it, never left his
driveway the whole time he lived there. As a matter
of fact, he would go in it and sit in it,
and that's it. He would never use the camper. And
I would think, probably buy something cheaper that you're just
going to go sit in it. A really pricey accessory
like a Purser Blinging watch also made the list. What

(02:34):
other expensive things have people bought that they never use?
Somebody said a commercial grade Deli slicer, a smart fridge
with a touchscreen. Collecting stuff for hobbies. And my mom
had a bad habit of this. My mom was a
big crafter, and I swear she had six hundred skeins
of yarn. Every time she saw a yarn on sale,
she would buy it. And I'm like, Mom, you're never

(02:54):
going to get through the yarn you have. Why would
you buy more? Other things making the list collecting tools
for fixed things, and maybe that might be my problem.
A boat, Well, I have a boat. Yes they're expensive
to buy, but they're also expensive to maintain if you
have one. Also making the list, a gym membership, Apple
Vision Pro, a horse, a gaming system. One woman said,

(03:16):
a wedding dress. I spent ten grand on a wedding dress,
wore it for an hour and a half, and got
divorced three years later. Ouch. Grand piano, somebody said. Growing
up in the Midwest, a lot of families randomly had
grand pianos. We had one too, and we played it
maybe once. We had one kid. That took less than
a year of lessons. So that's a little expensive things

(03:38):
that you just don't use. How about an education. I
know some people have spent big money on education and
crown out loud. I know some of them that have
never used it. To me again for another episode of
