Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Leap deeper in the din with dangerous Day.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Well, they ask people on Reddit, what's something you do
when you're completely alone that you would never admit to
anyone in real life. Of course, there was some inappropriate answers,
but the best ones that were safe for radio include,
I have full blown debates with myself. Sometimes I even
lose an argument and get annoyed by my own logic.
It's a problem full concert in the shower with choreography

(00:26):
and everything. I'm not just singing, I'm performing other things
people do when they're alone nobody else is around. One
person said, I primal, scream bedrot, and disassociate completely. Have
full on conversations with my dog. Who doesn't have conversations
with their pet? Come on, funny thing is this person said?
He answers me back in a cute puppy voice. So, well,

(00:48):
you know what, it's kind of funny because I think
our pet, Bob Marley, talks to me all the time anyway,
walk around with no pants on? Again, who doesn't shouting
obsnities of people I don't like out loud? And but
one person didn't want to disclose any secrets. They said,
good try, mom, I would tell you what I do.

(01:09):
But I'm sure my wife listens to the show in
the you're celebrating Mother's Day and you haven't figured out
what you're going to get, you had this time for
a cram session. According to the National Retail Federation, spending
on Mother's Day is expected to reach thirty eight billion
this year. That's up from thirty four point one billion
last year and more than the previous record of thirty
five point seven billion set in twenty twenty three. The

(01:30):
average person spends two hundred and eighty four dollars on gifts.
Fifty four percent will plan to get their mother or
stepmother something, followed by their wife at twenty two percent
and their daughter thirteen percent. Flowers are the most popular gift,
followed by greeting cards, special outings like for dinner, brunch,
gift cards, clothing and accessories, and jewelry. In a separate pool,

(01:50):
forty seven percent of Americans planned to celebrate Mother's Day
this year, thirty four percent not. By comparison, thirty four
percent said they planned to celebrate Father's Day this year.
We're forty five percent and said not. Thirty two percent
of Americans planned to celebrate both Mother's Day and Father's Day.
The Pole asked Americans who were raised by both mother
and father about parental roles. Seventy five percent said their

(02:10):
mothers did the majority of the housework, fifty three said
they were more involved with their daily activities, and forty
seven percent said they were more affectionate. Thirty nine percent
said they were closer to their mother. Women were more
likely to say they turned to their mother for advice,
men were more likely to credit their mother for being
more affectionate. Somewhat surprisingly, men were also slightly more likely

(02:31):
to say they were closer to their mother than women were.
