Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous date. Well,
five is on people's mind, maybe because today's data is
oh five oh five and twenty years ago was five
oh five oh five. They asked people on the internet,
what's something that's sexy now that wasn't twenty years ago
in two thousand and five, and it's an actual uplifting

(00:20):
body positive theme. Here some of the best responses from
the internet of what's sexy now that wasn't twenty years ago.
Eyebrows that aren't pencil thin. Lack of a tan you
know a lot of people used to go to tanning
salons back then. Lack of tattoos, are having tattoos. Fifty
year olds twenty years ago. When people turn fifty, they
look like they should be on Golden Girls. Today fifty

(00:40):
looks like thirty bald guys with beards, muscular women, long
haired dudes, smaller chested women, bigger chested men, dad bods,
sweatpants and elastic around the ankles, calf length socks at
eight hundred credit score, critical thinking skills, emotional maturity, being
vegan or at least healthy as you can be, non smoking,

(01:02):
having zero posts on social media, going to therapy, hand
crank windows and cars. I didn't know that that's sexy now.
But anyway, nerdy things like Dungeon and dragons, magic Warhammer, anime, comics,
not just being into super fantasy. Also, somebody joked, whoever
Leonardo DiCaprio is dating right now, which makes sense because

(01:22):
twenty years ago she probably wasn't born. Deeper in the
two happy Sinco demayo and if you haven't taken elementary
school Spanish, it translates to the fifth of May. So
why do people celebrate well. In a new poll, thirty
nine percent of Americans say it's a Mexican Independence Day,
twenty six percent say it's a celebration of Mexican American culture,

(01:42):
thirteen percent says is fun, excuse to drink, and thirteen
percent admit they have no clue what it's about. None
of those are correct, Just so you know, ten percent
of people know the correct answer. Cinco Demio actually commemorates
a Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla,
which toook place May fifth, eighteen sixty two, one hundred
and sixty three years ago. Now here's your history. Lesson

(02:05):
the battle itself, was not a major strategic win. As
a matter of fact, the French took control of Mexico
two years later, but it was a major morale boost
for the Mexican resistance, which helped them gain an alliance
of the Americans to eventually force the French to withdraw. Now,
historians believe the French would have backed the Confederacy during

(02:25):
the American Civil War, so if Mexico's resistance likely changed
the course of history for the US. Now back to
the poll, seventy percent of Americans planned to celebrate Sinco
Demyo today. Most of them planned to do it by
eating Mexican food, drinking margaritas, or sipping on a Mexican beer.
Twenty percent said they would celebrate Mexican culture, fourteen percent

(02:45):
said they would have a house party, eight percent would
read up on Mexican history, and eight percent would go
clubbing or bar hopping, which I guess celebrate Sinco demyo anyway.
Google Trends put out a map of the most searched
Sinco demyo cocktails in the West. Tern in Southeastern states
are looking up Margarita's. Middle America are looking up Mikaeladas.
Midwest also searching for palomas pina coladas, but Ohioans are

(03:10):
looking for tequila sunrise, which will give you a headache
the next sunrise. Doune it again for another episode of
Deeper in the Den with dangerous Dave right here.
