Do we all feel feels in the same places on our body?
Let's talk about that.

Good Mythical Morning!
Do you feel emotions?
Occasionally. If I have to.
Do you feel emotions right now?
Um...no, not really.
If I were to ask you, do you feel emotions...
- Constantly? - ...in specific parts of your body,
would you say, "You crazy!"
Or would you say, "Yeah, I relate to that."
There's a right answer.
- It's the second one. - Well, I'd say, "You are crazy,
but, yes, I do feel emotions, I think, in parts of my body."
Well, scientists have determined that this is a real phenomenon.
I'm talking scientists from Finland.
You know about those Finnish scientists.
- Basically-- - If they start it...
(snickers) They have finished a study.
The scientists have finished a study
that has concluded that when you study, 700 people from Finland,
Sweden, and Taiwan--I know why they chose Finland and Sweden--
- 'Cause they're close to those. - And then they just reached out
and grabbed Taiwan, and said,
"Y'all be a part of this study, too."
700 people were asked to experience different emotions,
and then they were asked to,
as they were experiencing the emotions,
to take a diagram like this, and to draw on the human body
where they were feeling that emotion register.
Seems a little crazy, but it turns out that there's a pattern.
There was a correlation.
Most people, there were obviously outliers,
but most people experienced emotions
in the same places on their bodies.
There's a correlation across cultures
of an emotion and a body part.
- Mmm-hmm. - Or a body region.
- A body place. - Body place.
It might be a body part. It could be a body place.
That's interesting. Let's explore that.
- Personally. - They demonstrated, using a heat map.
The brighter the area on the body, that demonstrates
where more people drew it, and the darker places are where
more people didn't say that it registered.
So what we're gonna do is we have the heat maps available
for each of the emotions that we're gonna be exploring today.
We're gonna go through four different emotions.
Me and you together
are going to experience some different emotions,
and then we're gonna say, and draw on our little diagrams,
where that is registering.
And then we're gonna compare them to the global...
- Right. - ...cross cultural average to see
- who feels more-- - Human.
- (Link scoffs) Okay. - Who feels more human.
Who feels more like a human!
(exaggerating H's) Who's the more human feeler?
(over-enunciating) Who's the more human feeler...
- Okay. - ..between me and Link.
This is a new game called: Who's the More Human Feeler
Between Rhett and Link?
- Let's get started! - Let's do it.
We're gonna start with happiness, Link.
- So we're gonna go to our happy places. - Okay.
And then we can describe those to each other in the people.
Oh, I'm not going to color it immediately.
I'm just gonna go there.
Experience your happy place, and then once you feel it
and start registering, you can draw it in wherever.
(Rhett chuckles)
Are you actually laughing in your happy place?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- What're you talking about? - I am back in fourth grade...
when I won the county wide anti-drug poster contest.
I remember that.
"There's lots of fun things you can do instead of drugs."
- Mmm-hmm. - That's what my poster said.
You plagiarized it from a pamphlet in your mom's office.
- I remember that. - I did.
And I was very happy that not only did I win,
but I didn't get caught
- for plagiarism. - Okay, well tell me
where that's registering, and I'm gonna go to my happy place.
- Okay. - Um...uh...I'm about 12.
I'm deep sea fishing with my dad and my brother.
I'm getting sea sick. I'm throwing up.
I'm taking a nap now. But then I'm waking up.
I'm throwing an automatic reel into the water.
I'm catching a 55 pound amberjack, and now I'm returning home.
I'm the hero of Bouey's Creek. I'm in the Daily Record,
holding my big, ol' fish. Ha ha!
I remember that because you put the newspaper clipping
on your bulletin board for the next six years.
I'm feeling in a very specific place, and I'm not making this up.
(scribbling)
(Rhett) I am feeling it in a very specific place.
Whoo doggie! 55 pound amberjack.
Okay. I got mine too. Let's hold them up.
Okay, you've kind of drawn a little bit of a beard
- and the top of the head-- - No, like my smile,
I felt the happiness here, and the top of the scalp.
And I felt it here in the chest.
And then here is the actual diagram.
- Oh, the correct answer. - Whoa, look at this, Link.
We are...
I'm right!
- We're both right! - We're both right.
- The chest and the head. - The chest and the face.
But people felt happiness on their whole body 'cause it's red,
but they felt the most happiness in their chest.
- We each get a point! - We're gonna split the point?
- No, we each get a point. - We each get a point. Okay.
- Moving on. - Fascinating, really.
I didn't expect that to happen. I'm a little freaked out.
- We'll see if-- - Well, we're humans!
I expected to feel like a human.
I didn't think you were human.
- Okay. - Let's feel sadness.
(deep breath)
Where's your sad place?
(disappointed) Oh, um...
I'm four.
My mom has made a birthday cake that I requested.
I requested a Cookie Monster cake. She brings out the cake.
The cake is brown.
I say, "Mom, the Cookie Monster is blue."
(whimper)
And then what?
She went and got a blue cake, but I don't wanna remember that
- because I was at sad place. - Right, right.
- That moment. - That moment, I'm thinking about
- brown Cookie Monster. - Okay.
All right, I'm thinking about a few weeks ago.
I went to feed the hermit crabs, my pet hermit crab.
I pick him up and--foop! He fell out, dead.
He dead. He de-shelled himself. My hermit crab died.
- Okay. - Okay, it was my kid's hermit crab
and I killed it because I forgot that they existed
while they were visiting people in North Carolina.
But that makes me sad.
(Rhett) Okay, I'm drawing in.
(Link) I know where I'm feeling this.
(scribbling)
Oh! You're feeling it in the turkey area.
And I'm feeling it in the face...
I'm getting the turkey knife.
...and my underarms.
- (crew chuckles) - I felt it in my underarms!
Well, let me explain. It's like a lump in your throat.
WHOA! Link, look, look. Look at yours.
You win, Link.
- (bell rings) - I got it!
You drew the turkey thing, and the turkey thing's real!
- But, also-- - Mine's in my face a little bit,
but I'm gonna give you the point
because yours is so similar to the sadness.
All right, I am very in touch with my emotions.
♪ You've got me feeling emotions! ♪
All right, let's get angry, Link.
♪ Deeper than I've been dreaming of ♪
Get angry. You're getting too nice.
- Okay. - You need to be angry right now.
Okay, all right. Something angry. Uh...
All right. I got it.
I told the kids to not put the toothpaste,
not let it drip, and leave it in the sink.
We made a show about this. I came home.
I showed them the GMM about it, and I talked to them about it
in the most polite but stern way. And then what do I get?
Even this morning, when I look at the sink,
there is a snail of toothpaste growing up out of there.
And I'm (imitates squeaking)
trying to get the thing off with my own fingers.
I love my kids, but it makes me angry.
How hard is it to not--
I mean, what are you brushing your teeth with?
- I ordered-- - An empty toothbrush.
I ordered food from a-- this has happened multiple times.
I'm just gonna access one.
I've ordered food from a fast-food place
while I'm on a trip across the country.
I get the food. I get back on the interstate.
(irate) And they forgot the nuggets.
I wanted the nuggets as a side.
I WANTED THE NUGGETS! I WANTED THOSE NUGGETS!
And then you're like, what? You're gonna pull back in?
Or you're just cut your losses?
(Rhett, irate) Oh, I'm feeling it really hard.
Oh man, I'm feeling it right in there.
(Link) I know where I'm feeling it.
(Rhett, irate) I'm so mad about those lost nuggets.
Holy moley, what are you drawing over there?
Wow, you're feeling it in your fists and your mouth.
I'm feeling it in my fist and my mouth and in my butt cheeks.
I'm feeling it in my gut.
HOLY MOLEY! YOU'RE SO HUMAN, LINK!
- I cannot believe-- look. - What?
- Look at what's happening. - Oh, the mouth.
- The mouth and the hands. - No, the fists.
Yeah.
Holy moley, I'm feeling it where no one felt it!
(crew laughs)
No one felt angry about the nuggets in their belly.
You feel it in your mouth and your hands.
- Yeah, I'm human. - I can't believe how human you are.
I'm a human feeler, dude.
You really felt it in your hands? You wanted to punch somebody?
Or just at least clench.
I clenched my butt cheeks, my hands, and my teeth.
All right. Finally, a-- I can't win at this point,
because you got three points in a row. But I can be a little bit
more human and a little bit less robotic.
You need to try to get human on this.
This is contempt. This is a complex emotion.
This is where you have anger,
but it's almost judgment towards another person in your anger.
All right, I've got a real quick one.
I hate it when I'm behind someone in a car at night,
and they flick a cigarette butt out the window.
Not only is that littering or can start a wildfire,
but I start to think, you could explode my car, dude.
How likely is it that my car can be exploded right now?
Did you think about that? Is that even possible?
I don't care.
I'm thinking about it, and I'm having contempt towards you.
I have contempt towards people who say they don't like beans.
Beans are the perfect food.
"What do you mean, they give you gas?
No, you adjust after a couple days, man.
And it's like everything that you need in a plant, in a food
is in beans. Don't be up on your high horse
and say you don't like beans, you jerk."
Okay. Okay, where's that happening? Let's color this in.
(Rhett) I feel it right in here.
I didn't mean to cheat, but I know you're very human.
Okay, I felt it behind my eyeballs and a little bit down my neck.
I feel it in my eyebrows and my bladder.
- Ooh, Link. You feel it-- - Yeah.
You're supposed to feel it-- that's cold.
- Eyebrows. - You're not supposed to feel it
- at all in the bladder. - But I felt it up here too.
But look-- the eyebrows. We both do the eyebrows.
I'm gonna give myself the point on this one,
because I have a string coming down my neck.
That's pretty perfect.
- That's amazing. - You definitely get a point.
I am a human!
I'm still a human, but you're a little bit more human than me.
And Link, you know what you win?
- No. - You win a special suit
that the crew has made
that looks like one of these heat diagrams.
And you get to put it on in Good Mythical Morning
- and wear it for me. - That's a prize?
- (laughs) - Okay.

"Rhett convinces Link to move to Canada."
Hey, hey, there's something I've really been meaning to bring up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think we should take flight north.
- Uh, okay. - Listen, there's a country up there.
It borders the whole top of the United States.
They call it Cuh-nah-duh, and, uh--
- Cuh-nah-duh? - They got a leaf on the flag.
They got rivers flowing with maple syrup.
All the police officers are on horseback.
They call them mounties.
You can pretty much get away with anything up there.
- Because... - They're on horseback.
(stammers) Well, a horse is faster than a human.
Yeah, but we get in a car and we steal things.
They have cars in Canada?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Or Cuh-nah-duh? - We can take--
- Where is it? - Cuh-nah-duh. North.
We'll take our car and outrun the horse cops.
- Sold. - (chuckles)
