Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Deuber in the den with dangerous Day. Well.
Sticking to your new year's resolution is tough no matter what,
but it may depend upon where you live. The site
wallet hub shared its annual list of the best and
worst cities for it. They base it on fifty seven
different metrics how easy it is to eat healthy at work,
workout or even financial resolutions, how easy it is to

(00:24):
pay off debt or snag a new job. They ran
the numbers for one hundred and eighty two different cities.
The best cities for keeping your resolution intact is Seattle, Washington,
Top ten Seattle, Scottsdale, Irvine, California, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Orlando, Austin, Fremont, California,
San Diego, and Miami Now. They also ranked the city

(00:46):
according to the four types resolutions, health related, money related,
school related, or bad habit resolutions. Fremont, California ranked first
in health and money also third and bad habit stalled
twenty ninth for work related resolutions, so eighth overall. South Burlington,
Vermont first for work related stuff to fall. South Dakota

(01:09):
the best place if you're trying to break a bad habit.
Worst places for keeping resolutions Jackson, Mississippi, Gulfport, Mississippi, Shreveport, Louisiana, Dover, Delaware,
and Memphis, Tennessee, so most of them south and east.
Two cities ranked in North Dakota Fargo and Bismarck both

(01:30):
in the top third of keeping your New Year's resolutions,
Fargo at fifty Bismarck at number fifty five. And if
your resolution is to keep warm and not move snow, sorry,
shouldn't live here. Deeper in the well. You know a
lot of people spend a little extra time around the
family over the holidays. So is there anything that you

(01:50):
saw that terrifies you. Somebody asked the Internet, what have
you seen your kids do that makes you say, oh
my god, it's genetic. Some of the best responses include,
are our imaginary friends had the same name? I have
not heard that name since I was a toddler. One
person said, my big cackle laugh. Would people say I
laugh like a witch? The kids do the same. My

(02:12):
brother told a joke, and our dad and myself both
grabbed the edge of the nearest countertop, bent over, put
our hands on the knees, and wheezed in unison. I
guess we share that with each other. One person said,
my brother was a child, he had striped naked when
he went to the bathroom, even in a public restroom.
Now his son does the same, and my four year

(02:33):
old size exactly like I do when they can't find
their toy. I'm not sure this is genetic, but it's
certainly something that's a learned behavior for most of them. However,
people say that could be genetic. One person said, I
hate t shirts, must have long sleeves. My dad does
the same, sneezing a million times in a row. Now

(02:53):
that one's probably genetic. Sleeping with both arms above my head.
When my daughter was twelve, my mom says, I really
like people, but I seriously hate humans. The woman said,
I felt it in my bones. A person said I
break chips when I eat them, snapping Doritos like in half.
I didn't realize it until as an adult that my
dad does the same thing. Hatred of pickles and the

(03:17):
opposite of for my relatives. Were the relatives even drink
pickle juice. One person said sarcasm that gene has gone
gone a long ways. It's a strong gene I can learn,
but I don't know. Maybe it is in our jeans
to me again for another episode of Deeper in the

(03:38):
