Get ready to play along with some super weird numbers in this episode of Haysnacks! We’re diving into Sound Statistics, where I throw out some quirky stats and you guess the missing piece while grooving to some funky sound effects. Think you know what 52% of women do with their cars that only 25% of men manage? Spoiler: it’s not what you’re thinking! And the average American spends five whole days listening to what each year? Plus, the second largest collection of these is at the Met!
Transcripts
Speaker A:
Good morning and Tastack.
Speaker A:
We're gonna kick the show off with something I like to call sound statistics.
Speaker B:
Sound statistics.
Speaker B:
Sound statistics.
Speaker B:
Guess the number, hear the clue.
Speaker B:
Sound statistics.
Speaker B:
Sound statistics.
Speaker A:
Haystacks.
Speaker B:
Got a question for you.
Speaker A:
I'm gonna give you a statistic and leave out the main part for you to guess at.
Speaker A:
And then I'm gonna give you a sound effect as a hint because trivia needs more noise and more excuse to be a nerd on the radio.
Speaker A:
Question 1.
Speaker A:
52% Of women say they've done this with their car compared to just 25% of men.
Speaker A:
52% Of women have done this with their car compared to just 25% of men.
Speaker A:
Now, whatever you're thinking, keep it clean.
Speaker A:
This is not about anything that happened after prom in high school.
Speaker A:
This is about a car, a public place, and a much bigger gender gap than I expected.
Speaker A:
So here is your sound of.
Speaker A:
And that is a parking sensor beeping.
Speaker A:
The answer is aligning the car in the middle of the parking space.
Speaker A:
52% Of women say they line it up in the middle.
Speaker A:
Just 25% of men do, which sounds right.
Speaker A:
I mean, women park like there's going to be a follow up inspection.
Speaker A:
Men park like they jumped out of the vehicle while it was still moving.
Speaker A:
All right, question two.
Speaker A:
Each year, the the average American hears a combined five solid days of this.
Speaker A:
Five days, 120 hours.
Speaker A:
That's not a little background noise, that's a lot.
Speaker A:
Here's your hint.
Speaker A:
I think this one's pretty easy.
Speaker A:
And of course, the answer is Christmas music.
Speaker A:
The average American hears about five solid days of Christmas music each year.
Speaker A:
So by the 25th of December, holiday spirit has turned into.
Speaker A:
If I hear one more song about a reindeer, I'm gonna walk into traffic.
Speaker A:
Unless you're one of those people who love it year round.
Speaker A:
Weirdos.
Speaker A:
All right, question number three.
Speaker A:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York houses the second largest collection of what?
Speaker A:
The second largest.
Speaker A:
Now remember, this is the Met.
Speaker A:
So we're talking a place with paintings and sculptures, ancient artifacts, priceless historical treasures.
Speaker A:
And here is your sound hint.
Speaker A:
If you couldn't tell that was the crack of a bat, something you may have stored under a bed in a shoebox in the 90s.
Speaker A:
I'm talking about baseball cards.
Speaker A:
The Metropolitan Museum of art has about 30,000 baseball cards, which is the second largest collection behind the National Baseball hall of fame, which has 200,000.
Speaker A:
So there you go.
Speaker A:
If your mom ever threw away your baseball cards, congratulations.
Speaker A:
She may have destroyed a future museum exhibit.
Speaker A:
That is sound statistics, Weird numbers, noisy clues and proof that sometimes fine art is just a tiny cardboard man with a mustache and a great on base percentage.
