Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous day Well.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis once said, the first time you marry
for love, the second time you marry for money, and
the third for companionship. At least that's what they say.
But if you only had one bite at an apple,
what would you do? A USA Today poll said fifty
three percent of people said love is more important than money.

(00:21):
That question was inspired by a previous poll where people
were asked if they would marry somebody they were in
love with knowing that they would probably be rocky financially
the rest of their lives. Sixty three percent said they'd
marry for love if it meant lifelong financial struggle, where
fifty four percent would prioritize a romantic love over financial security.
On the flip side, forty six percent would choose money

(00:43):
over love. There's some limits, so forty eight percent said
they wouldn't date somebody without a job, even if they
were attracted to them. Sometimes you need to get a
second bite at an apple. Though, thirty percent of Americans
would consider getting back together with an ex if that
person had become rich. I'm thinking not enough money in
the world. Deeper in the two. Well, it's hard enough

(01:03):
to talk to your kids when they're not distracted, but
if you put the Internet in their hands, it's game over.
A new survey found the average kid under the age
of eighteen holding a phone fifty two percent of the
time when their parents are trying to have a conversation
with them. It's not just a kid problem. The same
parents say their partners holding their phone fifty eight percent
of the time when they're trying to talk to them.
Only seventy four percent of parents report having device free

(01:25):
conversations within the past week, so at least some parents
are making a no phones rule at certain times, whether
it's during dinner or family movie nights or family outings. Overall,
seventy eight percent of parents are worried about spending less
time with real conversations with their kids. Well, you pay
their phone bill, right, You got to be able to
make the rules, draw some lines. But you know, it's

(01:46):
pretty much game over now. It's like hostage negotiations in
order to get the dog on phone out of the
kids' hands. Is and that not all bad. I guess
it's nice to have your kids reachable pretty much. Twenty
four to seven, I mean. That is, when they're not
ignoring you. You mean again. For another episode of Deeper
in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here,
