Sound Statistics.

Speaker B:

Hey, stacks, got a question for you.

Speaker A:

It's time for Sound Statistics, the game where I give you a weird statistic and then a sound effect as a hint.

Speaker A:

Because numbers aren't nerdy enough, I had to make them noisy.

Speaker A:

Question number one.

Speaker A:

50% Of United States pastors say they've done this for brainstorming or idea generation.

Speaker A:

Brainstorming or idea generation for pastors.

Speaker A:

And that could be a lot of things.

Speaker A:

Prayer, obviously.

Speaker A:

Coffee, Long walks.

Speaker A:

Panicking on a Saturday night when Sunday's sermon is still just a blank page.

Speaker A:

Here is your hint.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah, this one's easy, isn't it?

Speaker A:

This one's too easy.

Speaker A:

The answer, of course, ChatGPT or AI.

Speaker A:

Anyway, 50% of US pastors say they have used AI for brainstorming or idea generation, so even sermons are getting tech support.

Speaker A:

Now, somewhere, a pastor is typing.

Speaker A:

Give me three points on patience.

Speaker A:

All right, question two.

Speaker A:

25% Of women have done this job.

Speaker A:

25% Of women have done this job.

Speaker A:

I felt like this one might be kind of easy.

Speaker A:

I mean, there's a lot of jobs that you typically.

Speaker A:

And I'm gonna get yelled at for associating gender with jobs, but, you know, historically, maybe server receptionist, I guess.

Speaker A:

Cashier.

Speaker A:

The unpaid emotional support manager for every man in their life.

Speaker A:

Here is your really easy hint.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it's, of course, babysitting.

Speaker A:

25% Of women have been a babysitter, which kind of makes sense.

Speaker A:

At some point, every teenage girl has been handed a baby a juice box and a $20 bill.

Speaker A:

Like, good luck, don't let him eat a Lego.

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker A:

Question number three, the final one.

Speaker A:

For sound statistics.

Speaker A:

55% Of people have not changed this in at least three years.

Speaker A:

Three years is a long time to leave anything that might get changed untouched.

Speaker A:

Your passwords, forever, a decade, your haircut, your underwear.

Speaker A:

Hopefully more than once every three years.

Speaker A:

Your opinion on cargo shorts, that should change occasionally.

Speaker A:

Okay, here's your sound effect.

Speaker A:

This one short.

Speaker A:

Listen closely.

Speaker A:

That's pretty easy, right?

Speaker A:

One more time, real quick.

Speaker A:

The answer is.

Speaker A:

That is, of course, the beep from a voicemail greeting.

Speaker A:

55% Of people have not changed their voicemail greeting in the last three years.

Speaker A:

Years.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's pretty impressive.

Speaker A:

Three years.

Speaker A:

That means millions, millions of us out here sounding like we recorded our voicemail while being held hostage at a Verizon store.

Speaker A:

Hi, you've reached haystack.

Speaker A:

No, you haven't.

Speaker A:

You've reached:

Speaker A:

Haystack from before the COVID The before times current.
