the eyes are the window to whether
you're a friggin sociopath let's talk
about that
[Music]
[Applause]
good mythical morning Rhett honestly are
you a sociopath
I don't know well I'm glad you're honest
but we years is about right we're gonna
find out the answer today because I am
gonna walk you through a regimen an
experiment to determine if your
associate about by only looking at
people's eyes and you can play along
it's time for let's do the math and see
if you're a sociopath don't panic there
is no actual math involved okay Rhett
professor Simon baron-cohen at the
University of Cambridge who by the way
happens to be Sacha Baron Cohen's cousin
you're making that up
no I am NOT he legitimately is he
created a test known as reading the mind
in the eyes and it determines how well
you can recognize the emotion or the
motivation of other people just by
looking at this part of their face and
the New York Times turned it into an
online quiz because you know yeah no one
can resist an online quiz that's how you
get does that dollars so take a look at
this guy's face I'll just walk you
through a couple so just by looking at
his eyes while I guess an eye brows and
wrinkles around his eyes is he terrified
arrogant annoyed or upset hmm don't
overthink it just you know upset he
looks upset he feels upset and you are
right so nice clothes not so quick not
skulls quick not as quick man here's
another one take a look at this lady's
eyes eyebrows and eyelashes is she
decisive amused aghast or bored
well her eyebrows are on fleek first of
all they are she's either decisive or
bored I'm gonna go with decisive because
she seems like I know who I am I know
that I ditched I'm I spent on these
eyebrows now how close are you to almost
choosing board it's like it's like a
70/30 okay so you're a 30% sociopath no
you're right it is decisive I see
I'm emotionally intelligent man and
that is what this thing actually tests
is emotional intelligence yeah which is
how well you can recognize and manage
your own emotions and the emotions of
others but some psychologists in
according to certain research say that
very low emotional intelligence is an
indicator of being a sociopath oh now I
will say that you know other research
and psychologists they don't say there's
as much of a correlation between
emotional intelligence and sociopathy oh
yeah that's what it is
the okapi but because I took the New
York Times test and I did well I tend to
agree that I'm not a sociopath and that
the test is legit the only problem is
that the test is kind of boring 36
questions I mean those are two of the
questions right there straight out the
toe ring so I've taken the liberty along
with the help of the mythical crew to
create a funner test to still
holistically determine without doubt
whether you're a sociopath or not are
you ready I guess round one alright take
a look at this first one rat that's Mike
well is he under question no is he
confused Oh terrified crabby or
scandalous well yeah his right his left
eye is bigger than his right eye it's I
don't think I've ever looked at Mike
into the ice yeah well I don't think
that's a permanent fixation of of his
eyeballs I think that's part of the
express I had the same issue Mike don't
worry his that hair on the on the left
side of his face is kind of scandalous
he's got scandalous side bang I think I
feel like it's it's crab I feel like
he's crabby I feel like he's he's like
quit quit messing with me get out of my
space I'm like with a lisp like that the
New York Times to us we do have the
liberty of seeing a wider shot so let's
show them the answer I'm not gonna
disappoint it it's not like I want to
work with a sociopath
you kind of lose one eye being bigger
than the other when you see crab suit
yeah that's what I'm hoping for that's
why I'm so tall so I could be away from
people's faces when they're looking at
me they can't seem the ASA
a symmetry in my face oh yeah that's why
I'm tall let's show you another one here
I am
here's hey Alex that's good you're
recognizing your own employees that's a
good thing is he
fantasizing is he flirtatious is he
frightened or is he feeble-minded based
on the picture not your not just your
opinion of it well first of all I mean
you know kudos for eye symmetry yeah
again I never looked him in the eyes
either but he definitely looks like he's
just he's dreaming about something he's
like I'm thinking about what I could be
doing instead of working at this place
he's fantasizing hey let's take a look
[Music]
all right you're doing really good so
yeah I am but you still might be a
sociopath okay round 2 now we roping the
complexity we've got two adjectives per
take a look there's Kevin that's God is
he Creepy and touchy you see how this is
more different
he's he's psychedelic and tight-fisted
or is he constipated but well-respected
which is which is a great combo you know
if I'm gonna be constipated I also want
to be well-respected Creepy and touchy
huh Creepy and touchy
I can those could really go well
together
it's like chocolate and vanilla peanut
butter if Kevin is a touchy as a touchy
guy he's never touched me oh you weren't
there for the photo shoot he doesn't
does it really seem constipated you know
they didn't see me at that left I was
really relaxed he well that's why I'm
saying he feels like he's super relaxed
in the face but maybe he's got tight
fists that I just can't see so I'm gonna
go with be psychedelic and tight fisted
let's take a look I am so morally on
point you're so emotionally emotionally
in touch
it's psychedelic and tight-fisted Kevin
look at that and that's not a wig either
he's really he's been growing out that
does a lot any cut and I never noticed
let's keep going
Oh Eddie look at him gosh man Eddie
needs a break is he overheated and over
it is he lethargic and paternal which is
I can relate to that you know have kids
or even gassy and claustrophobic yeah
that would be a problem
gassy and claustrophobic happened to
that emotional intelligence that you've
been bringing about now I'm looking yeah
that's I'm looking at the you know he
doesn't seem like he's in a lot of
stress
unless he's in a lot of stress doesn't
seem like he's in a lot of stress he
seems like he's like he does seem bored
but it doesn't seem like he's tired
which would be lethargy he seems like he
is responding to something and he
actually has an opinion about it and
he's like I'm so over it I'm gonna go
with egg overheated and over it let's
take a look he is lethargic and paternal
Alex maybe chase is this an error or
some sort of Cologne you see Colin
somewhere I'm just thinking that what
I'm imagining what they smell like which
is what most cologne ads are supposed to
evoke sure we can add some Cologne of
that this man and this man in his arms
smell great well good smell just like
them baby chase is very needed but he
smells good it's not a diaper I believe
it is a man died as a diaper yes okay
all right maybe I'm a little sociopathic
three all right now we're up in the ante
we're making the choices even more
challenging okay check it out that's
Ellie all right here are your options
hey Ellie thought she wanted a pickle
but as soon as she went to open the jar
she was overwhelmed by her sense of
mortality and dropped the pickle jar on
the ground because nothing matters and
we all die or be Ellie is distraught by
a body-wide eczema breakout and as she
begins to lotion herself whilst
whistling she remembers she also suffers
from chronic whistling fatigue and the
only antidote is Mountain Dew Code Red
which man baby tastes just drank the
last duh
uh-huh man baby chase you can tell a lot
from a person's eyes but I don't know if
you can tell this much that is a lot to
tell unless you're not a sociopath right
you have a 50/50 chance of not being
sociopathic because that's how this
works now I don't think the Mountain Dew
Code Red is an antidote to anything but
it could be a sponsor yeah that's right
very clever integration me definitely it
definitely is a good time it's always a
good time when is Code Red
a good time Code Red is code for what
yeah
are they sponsoring this episode yes
really Code Red
always bring in Ellie a good time so
Ellie gets paid for that I all think
they are a sponsor so I'm going with a
cuz I think I've seen Ellie with a
pickle before hmm so she's having an
existential crisis while opening a
pickle jar let's see yeah that's the
pickle jar she's trying to not associate
our thinking look like dawn and honor oh
well what did that drop on a mattress or
something her foot she said she was she
had like a calm she had a steel foot and
it that's why she shattered like he
looks like a sociopath is that is that
what is that what's up program yeah you
can still be one here's another one
that's Lizzie here's your choices hey
Lizzie is trying to recreate the Beatles
Abbey Road album cover all by herself
while the real-life ghost of John Lennon
is watching her and laughing
mysteriously for some reason also Lizzie
is wearing 15 jackets because she's
always cold or me Lizzie is getting
increasingly frustrated by her inability
to tell the difference between a
rutabaga and a turnip while Eddie and
Myka are dragging Kevin's psychedelic
and tight-fisted body also Lizzie is
wearing 15 jackets because she's always
cold well Lizzie is always cold mmm-hmm
never wear 15 jackets but it doesn't
matter because she's wearing them in
both of my choices that doesn't astute
observation unless there's a third
option that you can choose that's
neither one of these
think about Lizzie and I could see in
her eyes right now she she knows the
difference between a rutabaga and a
turnip she might be the only person in
this office who knows the difference and
you now know that from her eyes from her
eyes I'm going with a this is a Beatles
album remake Real ID alright check it
out
I'm sorry Rhett ah doesn't know the
difference look at her looking at that
rutabaga there goes tight there is he so
tight fisted rigor mortis is totally set
in with that dude Wow how do you remain
so tight fisted Kevin well he's
psychedelic yeah right he was also dead
in there don't acknowledge that he's
alive over there I'm doubting himself
now well you should because it's over
and you didn't get them all right yeah
which I'm now determining means your
associate at least the jury is out a
little bit no it's not you even got a
certificate which I'm gonna sign this
award is presented to Bret mcLaughlin
