![]() We’re not going to count this weird second-mouse-cheese-trap thing against Abby.ĭUCKWORTH: No. I think the idea is that the late-sleeping mouse, who, like, gets up around 11 or something, gets the cheese after the first mouse gets snapped.ĭUBNER: Let’s make a pact right now. The idea is that the first mouse gets killed in the mouse trap?ĭUCKWORTH: Yeah. Quote: “The early bird gets the worm, but it’s the second mouse who gets the cheese,” unquote.ĭUBNER: So, wait. You know: “Early bird gets the worm.” I’ve recently heard a new version of this. I have always felt like our society favored early risers. Let me read you Abby’s question.ĭUCKWORTH: Abby writes, “Dear Angela and Steven. But I usually do wake up quite early - between 5 and 5:30, which - to me that’s just normal.ĭUCKWORTH: No, no, no. So, sometimes I will sleep in until, you know, 6:30 or 7, which feels so luxuriantly criminal. Although, I’m trying now to get more sleep. You wake up at some ridiculously early single-digit number, yes?ĭUBNER: I have been a very early riser for the vast majority of my life. We don’t always record in the mornings, we should say.ĭUCKWORTH: We don’t, but as an early riser, which I know you to be, I kind of knew you’d be awake for it. Are you awake enough to hear it? Because it’s - it’s morning.ĭUBNER: It is morning. Today on the show: Does society favor early birds over night owls?ĭUBNER: Well, you’re taking a bird metaphor that probably has nothing to do with actual people.ĭUCKWORTH: Stephen, we have an email from a listener named Abby, and I’d like to read it to you. DUCKWORTH: I don’t know where the excess energy came from, but my mother insists that it’s the unfortunate consequence of eating candy bars and sugar cereals.ĭUCKWORTH + DUBNER: And you’re listening to No Stupid Questions. ![]()
