Transcripts
Speaker A:
Good morning.
Speaker A:
It's Haystack.
Speaker A:
And on a scale of 1 to 10, what's the worst pain that you've ever experienced in your life?
Speaker A:
Kidney stone.
Speaker A:
Broken bones, Had a kid.
Speaker A:
Somebody polled 5,000Americans and over half of us say that we've experienced probably about an 8 before.
Speaker A:
17% say they've never dealt with severe pain.
Speaker A:
Lucky them.
Speaker A:
And severe defined as 6 out of 10 or higher.
Speaker A:
Now, most of the painless crowd were younger folks, so that kind of makes sense.
Speaker A:
12% of us say 6 is the worst pain we've ever felt.
Speaker A:
8% said 7, 25% said 8.
Speaker A:
That was defined as very severe.
Speaker A:
10% said 9 and 24% said 10.
Speaker A:
So 59% of us say 8 or higher.
Speaker A:
55% of men and 63% of women.
Speaker A:
And I expected women to be higher, but I expected women to be more higher than that.
Speaker A:
I thought the divide would be bigger with the whole, you know, childbirth thing.
Speaker A:
Most everyone claimed to have at least an average pain tolerance.
Speaker A:
About half of us said higher, very high.
Speaker A:
And only 12% admitted that they had a very low tolerance tolerance for pain.
Speaker A:
Either way, 24% of us say that we've experienced a 10 on the pain scale before.
Speaker A:
I think that we can all agree we've experienced a 10 on the pain scale before based on these things that are clearly a 10 on the pain scale.
Speaker B:
Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:
It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker B:
Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:
It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:
Yeah, we're taking a look at the top six things that we can all agree are a 10 on the pain scale.
Speaker A:

Speaker A:
Number five, listening to one more person gripe about the Stranger Things finale.
Speaker A:
Number four, waiting for your dog to go poo in the rain.

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

Speaker A:
