Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Please step deeper in the din with dangerous day. You
know you can't go to a sporting event, a concert,
or wedding or anything without seeing people their heads buried
in their phones and probably a father or two getting
caught scrolling while their child's being born. And a new survey,
one in ten adults admit they missed a once in
a lifetime moment because they were too busy messing around

(00:21):
with their phone. Forty six percent of people admit they've
scrolled during a situation they should have been present, like
a birthday party, a family gathering, or even while sight seeing.
Fifty two percent of people said they've been so distracted
by their phones they had to rewind a movie or
TV show to find out what's going on. Sixty six
percent of people admit they'll sometimes pick up their phone

(00:41):
without any clear reason. Forty seven percent wish they could
reclaim time they've wasted on their smart phone. Been there,
done that? Sight seeing is a big one. A lot
of times you're trying to take a picture or maybe
record some video instead of actually being present and paying attention.
And by the way, who did this survey? Your mom
in the two we ever said something confidently only for

(01:03):
people to laugh at you and then realize you've been
saying it wrong your whole life. They asked people on Reddit,
what's saying did you say incorrectly for decades without anyone noticing?
And what do you think they meant. We've talked about
some phrases in the past, like all intents and purposes
not intensive purposes. This is kind of a new list.
Some of the best responses include One person said, might

(01:25):
as well, he always thought it was minus. Well, that
doesn't make sense, but okay. One person said, my brother
thought the people that lived beside us were our next
store neighbors, not next door next store. Oh boy. Another
person said, I was in my thirties before I realized
that cease and assist was actually cease and desist, up

(01:47):
and Adam instead of up and at em. They said,
who the heck is Adam? They always thought it was
up and Adam. Well, okay, I guess we start with
up and eve. Next saying bombfire instead of bonfire, and
I had no people who still say it that way bombfire,
it's bonfire. Play it by ear as, one person said,
instead of play it by ear. One man thought wheel

(02:09):
barrel was wheel barrels for the most of his life.
I guess I was probably in my teens before I
realized it was wheeled barrow. When I saw a spelling
of it, I'm like, oh, well, that makes more sense.
And another man said, and I've heard people say this
holier than Hell. Wasn't pretty much everything holier than hell.
It's holier than thou. One person said. I finally got

(02:31):
corrected after I used this phrase most of my life.
