Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Day. Well.
The new poll asked people how competitive they are, which
is amusing because it gave competitive people the chance to
want up everybody else. Forty seven percent of people said
they're somewhat competitive. Another fourteen percent said very competitive, so
more competitive than those people who are just regular competitive. Okay.

(00:22):
Twenty six percent of people said they're not competitive at all,
probably because try to take you out unless you're playing
Mario Kart. Ten percent of people said they are not
competitive at all. The poll also got a little political,
ask people if the government should do anything about income
inequality and reduce the share of well held by billionaires.
Fifty one percent of people said they should, twenty eight

(00:43):
percent said they should not. If you work harder, you
have more, you should have more. That's my opinion. I
could be wrong, but if you think I am, I'll
compete you for it. Deeper in the Tea, Well, it's
almost the weekend, but sometimes you just can't wait to
get that long day off. Somebody asked it for the
craziest excuses they've seen for missing work. Some of the

(01:04):
best highlights include a guy that didn't show up on
Valentine's Day because he thought it was a federal holiday.
One person said they flushed their keys down the toilet.
Another person said chipmunks filled my truck's engine with walnuts.
A woman with long nails shoved her finger up her
nose while exfoliating and sliced it open exfoliating. I think
it was a pick come on. Somebody's coworker called out

(01:24):
because she ran out of toilet paper. Holy crap. And
a woman pulled out of work because there was a
big bug outside her door, but it turned out it
was just a piece of string. Another person said they
ate a whole log a cookie dough. A woman found
a huge dookie on her driver's seat. It was human. Yeah,
and I got bit on the finger by scroll while
tossing a coffee cup into the parking garage trash can.

(01:46):
Another person said I can't work because a zane left
one direction. Okay. We had someone call in because she
had a cat scratch her boob. A cat scratched her
boob yep, so she couldn't come to work. I call
that Saturday night. Tune it again for another episode of
