Speaker B:So here is your first question.
Speaker B:About 11% of people say that they like the taste of this.
Speaker B:Now, obviously, that could be a lot of things.
Speaker B:Coffee, burnt popcorn, gas station sushi.
Speaker B:If your taste buds have completely given up on you, here is the thing that you might surprisingly like the taste of.
Speaker B:11% Of us do.
Speaker B:Well, that's not easy.
Speaker B:The sound effect on this one's tough.

Speaker B:Looks like humanity is just about a bad decision away from eating office supplies.
Speaker B:What in the world?
Speaker B:I guess it's better than Tide Pods.
Speaker B:I don't know.

Speaker B:Chew on.

Speaker B:Not pretending that Microsoft Excel as a personality trait.
Speaker B:No, they believe that they got their job because of what.

Speaker B:Here's the hint again.
Speaker B:The sound effect to listen to again.
Speaker B:That is the snap of an elastic band to try to give you the hint of underwear.
Speaker B:About a third of people think that they got hired because of Lucky underwear.
Speaker B:32% Of folks.
Speaker B:So I guess the real key to career success isn't networking or accomplishments or skill sets.

Speaker B:You know what?

Speaker B:That's business magical.
Speaker B:What it is.
Speaker B:All right, question three.
Speaker B:According to a British study, mothers who do this will probably have daughters who grow up to be more successful.

Speaker B:Here is your weird sound effect hint.
Speaker B:Because this is the only thing I could find that makes sense here.
Speaker B:What in the world?

Speaker B:In this case, it's a mom nagging.
Speaker B:But yes, this British survey finds that mothers who nag have daughters who grow up to be more successful.
Speaker B:So every time your mother said, I'm only doing this because I love you, it may be true.
Speaker B:Congratulation, moms.
Speaker B:It wasn't nagging, it was motivational harassment.
Speaker B:And there you go, that's sound statistics, some weird numbers, noisy clues, and proof that success starts with your mother yelling from the other room.
