Speaker AChris, according to a recent study, wearing socks has been shown to help you get a good night's sleep because it helps warm the feet while reducing your core body temperature.
Speaker AAre you a socks off or on kind of sleeper?
Speaker BOh, man.
Speaker BAnd I don't wear socks to sleep.
Speaker BBut I tell you what, I do wear them to do absolutely nothing.
Speaker BI hate socks.
Speaker BAnd I hate wearing just socks.
Speaker BIt's terrible.
Speaker BI hate to sleep in them because then you get, like, foot funguses.
Speaker BI hate walking around the house in my socks because you sweat, you know, It's a terrible idea.
Speaker BI don't agree with this article at all.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker BIt's a terrible idea.
Speaker BI hate walking around the house in socks because you step in a puddle and then your whole day is ruined.
Speaker BYou got to change your socks.
Speaker AI will agree with you that the socks in the house are a bad deal.
Speaker BIt's just terrible.
Speaker BSo why would you do it?
Speaker BAnd then you got to get up because we're old.
Speaker BWe got to get up in the middle of the night to go pee.
Speaker BThe last thing I want to do is pee in my socks.
Speaker AWell, or slip in your socks.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AIf you're gonna be wearing socks to bed, I think you have to wear the ones with the Grippies.
Speaker ALike from the hospital.
Speaker B100%.
Speaker BAnd in fact, I went down the stairs once in socks and I fell.
Speaker BIt was terrible.
Speaker BYou can't wear socks.
Speaker BSocks on their own is bad for everyone.
Speaker BDon't listen to this article.
Speaker BAll right.
Speaker BThe Wall Street Journal.
Speaker BThis one's great.
Speaker BThe Wall Street Journal claimed that Minneapolis is the worst place to host a dating show based on the recent season of Love is blind.
Speaker BOf which your cousin was also a contestant.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BDo you agree or disagree with the Wall Street Journal's assessment and why?
Speaker AI 100% agree.
Speaker BDo you?
Speaker AIt was such a snooze fest.
Speaker AThis season was so boring.
Speaker AI don't know if they changed the formula.
Speaker AI haven't watched it since the beginning.
Speaker AI did watch this year cause my cousin was on the show, but it's like, it's just too small town.
Speaker AWe know we're a bigger city in size, but people know too many people.
Speaker AIt was too boring.
Speaker AIt was like, I don't know.
Speaker AThere's not enough drama for me in this.
Speaker AAnd people in Minnesota are passive aggressive.
Speaker ASo I think they were much more careful and calculated about, like.
Speaker BThat's true.
Speaker AHow they're going to, like, talk about things.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ANo, I would not recommend filming a dating show in Minneapolis ever again.
Speaker BYeah, it's a really good point.
Speaker BEvery show needs, like, an east coast personality.
