  • Big data is how we live by big data.

  • I love statistics, big data analytics, whatever it is, but here's the thing.

  • When it comes to big data, there's a lot of bad data out there because statistics can be manipulated.

  • To show you how you can manipulate statistics, these are actual true statistics.

  • Watch what I do with them.

  • These are actual true.

  • It turns out in China, there's about 1.4 billion people in China, right?

  • 1.4.

  • There are 7 billion people on earth.

  • Therefore, statistically, it cannot be argued, one out of every five babies born on earth are in fact Chinese.

  • So you could say, statistically, if you've got four kids, you're expecting a fifth, it will be Chinese.

  • So don't be surprised, that's all I'm saying.

  • Don't be surprised.

  • I don't have a problem with it.

  • If your fifth kid's gonna be Chinese, just deal with it.

  • So when you hear a statistic, always ask about the other side of a statistic.

  • You know, look at it from a different perspective.

  • 44% of marriages end in divorce.

  • Now, that's a scary number.

  • That's scary.

  • When you first get married, you're like, "Oh my God."

  • But here's the thing.

  • It's not so scary when you look at it from a different perspective.

  • If 44% of marriages end in divorce, you know what that means?

  • 56% of marriages end in death.

  • Those are the two ways that marriages end, folks.

  • Apparently, this is just occurring to some of the married people out there.

  • Just enjoy being married because it's not pretty when it ends, trust me.

  • Perspective is important.

  • Here's another one.

  • 65% of Americans are overweight for their height.

  • But maybe, just maybe, 65% of Americans are just not tall enough for their weight.

  • I am not 20 pounds overweight.

  • I am three inches too short, darn it.

  • I'm going to Height Watchers.

  • The insurance companies will tell you this is true.

  • 95% of all car accidents occur within one mile of your home.

  • That is true.

  • And even in the brightest of crowds, there's always a couple of people thinking, "Ooh, I got to move."

  • No, that's not going to help.

  • Trust me, that is not going to help.

  • But if you believe that, therefore, if you believe that, the safest thing to do is park one mile from your home and walk the rest of the way.

  • Really, do that, please do that.

  • This one's amazing.

  • I wrote it as a joke, but I actually think it's a good idea.

  • Watch this.

  • When the lottery a couple years ago hit $1.6 billion, 146 million people bought tickets.

  • 146, remember that number.

  • 146 million people bought tickets.

  • In the 2016 president's election, 136 million people voted.

  • 10 million less than played the lottery.

  • Yeah.

  • So you know what?

  • We want more people to vote.

  • Every election, we should pick one voter to win $1.6 billion.

  • Look at that, now we're all, "I can't wait to vote. Let's go vote."

  • We wait in line for hours.

  • "Who you voting for?"

  • "I don't care. Give me a quick pick. I just got to get in."

  • This is a true survey.

  • They asked women.

  • I did not make this up.

  • I read this and immediately thought what I'm about to share.

  • 33% of women polled said they have dated an ugly guy just because he was funny.

  • Which I think is amazing.

  • Ladies, you use a criteria.

  • I've never heard a man ever say, "Well, she's not very pretty, but she's funny. I want to go out with her."

  • Doesn't happen.

  • So thank you, ladies, for being so much less shallow than men.

  • That's what I'm saying.

  • So I thought that was great until I realized, hold on. I'm married.

  • You know what that really means?

  • That means there's a one in three chance my wife thinks I'm ugly.

  • I'm like, "Honey, am I good looking?"

  • "You're funny." - "Shut up."

  • And then finally, I hear this one on the radio all the time.

  • One out of 10 people suffer from hemorrhoids.

  • One out of 10 people suffer from hemorrhoids.

  • Does that mean that nine out of 10 people actually enjoy hemorrhoids?

  • Ooh, the itching and burning.

  • Ooh, it's that time of year they're back, ooh.

  • Let's go dancing.

  • I can't sit down anyway.

  • Come on.

Big data is how we live by big data.
