We've covered politics.
I want to talk about something I read this morning.
Study confirms people who walk faster are smarter.
Look at that.
Andy, as someone who's famous for walking slow--
Yeah, sit up now.
[LAUGHTER]
Were you taking a nap?
No, I was just--
You were laying down just now.
Yeah, but here I am.
All right.
As someone who is a slow walker, does that offend you?
I just don't think it's true.
Do you even understand what I'm saying though?
Because--
I do.
They say that you're smarter if you walk faster.
I do not.
I'm going to put that study to a test.
So this is Ellen's Studies Studies
is what I'm calling this.
OK.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
OK.
I don't know why it's like a sleuth type--
I don't know if that--
Pink Panther.
I'm studying stu-- it is a Pink Panther.
All right, so what I'm going to do
is you're going to get on that treadmill over there.
And I'm going to ask some leftover questions
from "Game of Games."
I'm going to see if walking faster makes you smarter.
OK?
All righty, Ellen.
All right.
Guess we don't need a rail?
You can take your mask off, because I think--
OK.
Usually there's a railing.
All right, you're on 2.0 right now.
Yeah, which is--
I'm going to move you up to 3.
Well--
What do you normally--
What I like to do, Ellen, is I--
I'd take my hands out of my pockets, because--
You're also adding incline, I believe.
But what I like to do is nothing more ever than a 2.5 to 2.7.
Because I believe the slower you walk,
the more time you have to think and have smart things
come into your brain.
You need to walk slow to think.
Yeah.
And it gives me time.
It gives me time to--
First of all, I'm going to be able to move this up faster.
Twitch is there in case you fall.
And just to be safe, I'm going to put a mat behind you.
That's good, because there's no rail.
Where's a mat?
Matt's coming.
He's our producer, Matt.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, I'm just going to go up to four.
All right, my motto--
Oh, 4?
--is less work, more twerk.
What's the motto of my home state of Louisiana?
New Orleans proud.
Nope.
[BUZZER] It's union, justice, confidence.
OK.
I'm just going to go a tiny bit faster.
This is a little faster than is necessary.
Well, it depends on what you think is necessary.
Here's the next one.
OK.
There's a word for everything, you know that.
Yep.
What is a nerdle?
A young-- a young smart person.
No, it's a blob of toothpaste on your toothbrush.
[BUZZER]
It's a what?
A blob of toothpaste on your toothbrush.
OK.
If Lil Nas X liked your photo while listening to Lizzo.
And then Lil John liked Lil Wayne's photo
while listening to Lil Yadi.
And Lil Yadi liked Lizzo's photo while listening
to Lil Nas X. Who liked your photo while listening to Lizzo?
Lil Nas X.
You-- that's right.
[APPLAUSE]
Good job, Andy.
Walk up though.
You're at the end.
No, no, no.
Don't.
Don't celebrate yet.
We're good.
All right.
All right, it's making you smarter.
Yeah, I am.
Take longer steps.
Here we go.
Take longer steps.
Longer steps?
Take longer steps, yeah.
This is--
What?
There's just no advantage to going at this speed.
Physic--
There is no advantage?
No, not according to studies I've read.
You probably use this all the time
but don't call it by its official name.
What is an octothorp?
I use this all the time.
Yep.
But you don't call it by this name, octothorp.
Octothorp?
Yep.
So it's got eight.
It's got eight?
Octo-- hands?
Oh no, that's 10.
OK.
What is it?
It seems like going faster is not making you smarter.
No, it's not.
What is octothorp.
It's a hashtag or a pound sign.
[BUZZER]
Octothorp, that what that is.
Yep.
All right.
You got eight pointers coming out of a hashtag.
Let's go back to what you started at.
I'm going to go back to two.
OK.
All right.
There.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you to my assistants.
All right.
That was wonderful, Andy.
Yeah.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Thank you.
All right, be careful getting down.
[LAUGHTER]
Thank you.
All right, we'll be back.
