Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This, he's deeper in the din with dangerous date. Well,
if somebody showed up to your place right now, will
the first words out of your mouth be sorry? It's
such a mess. A new poll by Swift for found
forty five percent of Gen z ors and millennials would
be embarrassed if somebody saw the current state of their home.
Top excuse for not cleaning. I don't have time, but
is it really true? The average person said it would

(00:22):
take about two hours to clean their entire place, and
they usually procrastinate for at least three hours before they
even start. Thirty six percent said the only time they
really clean is when they're expecting guests. Otherwise they just
deal with their own filth. Not everybody's a total slab, though,
Forty five percent said they do at least something to
clean every single day. Kitchens and living rooms most likely

(00:42):
to be tidied up daily, but thirty one percent admit
there's at least one room in their house that hasn't
been cleaned in over six months. Yeah, I wonder if
that's the one with the body in it. Deeper in
the two? So are you cool? Now? Whether or not
you're cool or not is subjective some say people like
oh singer Sabrina Carpenter is cool. Other people might think

(01:03):
middle aged radio hosts are even cooler, and for that,
I thank you. A new study looked at what's cool
and what it means to the average person. They pulled
six thousand people in dozens of countries around the world,
and it doesn't really very very much. Coolness is very universal.
They found it comes down to six core traits. If
you score high in all of them, you're definitely cool,
at least to the average person. Six traits that make

(01:25):
somebody cool being extroverted, adventurous, open, autonomous, hedonistic, and powerful. Ah,
I was so close anyway, You probably know what the
first three mean. Autonomous means you're independent, you don't try
to fit in, Hedonistic means you can enjoy yourself without
feeling guilty about it. And powerful it means you're confident
and don't let people push you around. None of those

(01:46):
six traits fit you well. It doesn't mean you're not
a cool person. It just means you're not fitting the
cookie cutter definition of what is cool. In twenty twenty five,
they noted that coolness is a social construct. Everybody pulled
had a familiar word for cool, meaning that movies, TV,
social media have taught us what cool means, so they
were kind of just repeating that definition. Past studies have

(02:08):
found that being friendly and competent is also seen as
being cool or cool traits. The authors of the study
were also quick to note that cool doesn't mean you're
not a good person. Many of the coolest people in
history most of them were actually total jerks. So just
because people think you're cool, or you think you're cool,
doesn't make you a good person. Just because you're not

(02:28):
cool doesn't make you a bad person. So would you
rather be cool or a good person this point in
my life? I'll take the good person part to me.
