Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the din with dangerous Day. US
News and World Report does a study each year that
ranks fifty states based on everything from education and healthcare
to infrastructure and economy. This year, Utah number one. By
the way, that's a third straight yere. Utah tops the
list mostly because it landed in the top five of
eight categories, first in fiscal stability, third in both economy

(00:25):
and infrastructure, fourth and education, seventh in crime. But it's
forty eighth in natural environment. Could be the saltiness, I guess.
New Hampshire was second, followed by Idaho. Minnesota was fourth, Nebraska, Florida, Vermont,
South Dakota, Massachusetts in Washington. North Dakota ranked number twelve worst.
Louisiana Alaska second worst, followed by Mississippi, New Mexico, West Virginia,

(00:50):
and Alabama. Those seem kind of self explanatory, Just kidding.
I'm just glad to be in the top twenty. Somewhere
deeper in the two. Mother's Day is Sunday, and here's
some early Mother's Day guilt for you. How often do
you call your mom? Not enough? Twenty two percent of
people in Early Mother's Day poll said they don't call
mom as much as they should, as average of once

(01:10):
a week. How often do you make your mom feel appreciated?
The average answer was less than twice a month. Top
ways we do spending time with them just saying I
love you. Sixty eight percent said they know their mom
is better than anyone else in their life. Plus seventy
percent said they worry their mom has too much on
her plate. Sixty seven percent thinks she spends too much

(01:31):
time worrying about other people's needs. Massages are a popular
Mother's Day gift, but mom's were asked the perfect self
care day would include a massage only ranked fifth number
one on the list, sleeping in, getting their hair done,
having somebody else cook, listening to music. You're welcome Mom,
and getting a massage running out the top ten, getting
her nails done, going for a walk, reading, catching up

(01:52):
on TV, and taking a nice, long, hot bath. Just
leaving her alone is a nice gift to Thirty nine
percent of moms said they get less than one hour
of me time each day, so given mom some me
time might be good. But back to the phone call
thing for a minute. Have you ever made an effort
to call your mom more? Then you realize it's too
much like you can tell she's trying to get you

(02:13):
