Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is uber in the den with Dangerous Day. Let's
be honest, the onion volcano and Benny Hanna is pretty cool,
but it isn't luxury not staying at a five star
hotel or a spa vacation, going to restaurants, or require
uncomfortable shoes. In a new survey, seventeen percent of Americans
claim they've never experienced something luxurious, which is kind of surprising,

(00:22):
especially since people are not only thinking about exclusive stuff
only rich people know about. The survey had a travel focus,
so focused on eighty two percent of people believe the
attainable luxury while on vacation, but they did admit that
luxury often means expensive and high end. But when they
asked what kinds of luxury people would be willing to

(00:43):
splurge on, top answer was staying at a fancy resort
or villa. Some people said flying first class, private chef,
riding in a limousine, going to a Michelin starred restaurant, VIP,
access to exclusive events like golfing at a championship course,
or the chance to try something new and unexpected. I
guess I have tried something luxurious. If you talk about

(01:05):
riding in a limousine. I mean, we got somebody to
take us around a look at Christmas lights one time.
We even had a bottle of champagne in there. Deeper
in the two. How optimistic are you? It's a new
day falls become There's still some warm summer weather out
there for you. On a scale from one to ten.
How doomed are you? A new survey ask five thousand
Americans across all fifty states how optimistic they are on

(01:26):
a scale from one to ten. Good news is the
average answer was six point seven. Makes me feel a
little more optimistic about the country. But most optimistic people
in Wyoming, where they averaged a seven point two. California
was second, followed by New Jersey, Alabama, and Maryland. Least
optimistic state was Vermont, where it was an average of
six point zero. Texas Mississippi were second, followed by West

(01:47):
Virginia and Kansas. Generation most optimistic boomers millennials are next,
followed by gen X gen Z pulling up the rear.
It seems like boomers carry a lot of doom and gloom,
but according to the survey, most older folks are letting
daily annoyances not get under their skin and kick off
their day with a positive mindset. Overall, survey found that
people were most optimistic, have healthier habits, better diets, stick

(02:09):
to better exercise routines, spend time outdoors, and sleep as
much as they can. They also brush off setbacks less
bothered by daily frustrations. So where does the nerd to
Go to Minnesota sit on this list? Where high was
seven point two, We're only three tenths behind that six
point nine on optimistic scale for Minnesota and North Dakota.
I wonder if how optimistic we are, if people would

(02:32):
view this differently if they looked at this list and
ask those questions after the election in November. Tune it
again for another episode of Deeper in the Den with
Dangerous Dave light Year.
