Holy moly!
I've always said this about you. This is confirmed.
Just dribble it out, that's how my body deals with it.
- Hi, I'm Josh. - I'm Ollie.
And today, I'm doing what many people have warned me not to do.
See empirically if I have better genes than Josh Carrott.
It does feel like putting yourself against Superman in an arm wrestle though.
What are you talking about?
You have the best genes of anyone I know.
What?
Hang on. Is everything in this box?
Well, the DNA is in our mouths.
What about the test?
We've looked into doing this and I remember being underwhelmed by what they could tell you.
I know, it literally felt like kind of a glorified version of, you know, when all of our like dads and uncles got into that like,
"Oh, let's trace back the family tree."
- Oh yeah, my dad got super into that. - Mine too!
I think Dad went back pre-Jesus.
"Say Hello to You."
You got to download an app.
Wow, this is high tech.
"Collect your sample: take the swab out of the package,"
"Rub the swab inside your mouth against your cheek 10 times."
I lost count. I probably did it more than 10 times. Is that a problem?
Yeah, probably. Then you're gonna have too many DNA.
"Place a swab into the tube and break the stick."
"Screw the cap back on the tube and shake ten times."
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
DNA.
"Once your sample reaches our laboratory,"
"It may take up to 18 business days to receive your personalised results."
I hope that I can find out...
What went wrong with my feet.
You are an idiot.
All right, guys. I'll see you on the other side.
It is up to 18 business days later.
Ok.
The world's most comprehensive DNA test.
- 99.9 per cent accurate. - Ok.
500 reports in 20 different categories.
CircleDNA. I've opened the app.
Whoa! "Diet and Lifestyle, Talents and Sport, Discover Your Origins,"
- I haven't looked at this either. - "Explore Your Genetic Blueprint"?
- This is a lot of information. - I'm genuinely,
Actually, I'm genuinely kind of nervous now.
Ok, ok. Let's check the report summary.
"Dietary Sensitivity"
Wow. I've got like normal sensitivity to everything.
Ah, I do not have that.
"Fat sensitivity. High. Carbohydrate sensitivity. High."
"Salt sensitivity. High. Celiac predisposition. High."
"Spice sensitivity. High. Taste sensitivity. Super taster."
No! That's why you like bland food!
- Yeah! - You're a super taster!
-Yes! - But wait, hang on.
Shouldn't that mean you like good food more?
I don't know. I don't think so.
"Based on your genetic results, you are likely to have a higher taste sensitivity."
"This means bitter foods taste more bitter, sweet foods taste sweeter."
"This is important because how food tastes influences your individual eating behavior."
Oh, but sweet tooth. It tells me here.
Normal preference?
"Higher preference"!
- You do. - That makes sense.
- 99.9 per cent accurate! - I love sweet stuff!
Should we go "Ancestry"?
I feel like it's gonna say, a hundred percent English.
Three, two, one.
You are a hundred percent!
You are so white!
You literally could not get any whiter!
74 percent Northwestern European.
Wow, you are like inbred European.
Yeah... Wait, so what are you?
I am 81.49 per cent European.
- Where's the other stuff? - That's actually more European than I expected.
Because my grandma's Chinese.
- Wait, so where else are you from? - Well, that means that I...
I'm sorry, I'm confused. I'm processing this. I'm 9.67 Southeast Asian.
And then East Asian. Chinese 8.84 per cent.
Korean?
Zero per cent. Japanese and Korean zero per cent.
Shhhh.
Wow, this is fascinating.
I want to do one that's more measurable.
I think we should play a game of Top Trumps.
Top Trumps?
Genetic Top Trumps.
You know Top Trumps, right?
You pull out a card and it's rated.
And then, somebody wins.
We're like characters in like a FIFA game.
Speed level 99. Accuracy 70. Defense 30.
Except this is 99.9 per cent accurate.
Well, we've already looked at the diet.
I'd say you won but that was a practice round.
Oh ok, ok.
I want to know physical traits. Body odour.
Likely more than normal.
Me too.
Ear protrusion.
Ear protrusion?
- Likely. - Likely! Yeah!
Ok. Eye colour.
Likely brown.
Me too.
Waist circumference? Likely average.
Yeah, ok, ok.
Josh. Common health risks.
Oh no. I'm average on all of them except for one.
Wait. Say it after me.
- Ok. - One, two, three.
- Obesity. - Obesity.
Dagnabbit!
Why do we both have an elevated risk of obesity?
And we chose a job where we basically endlessly eat snacks and huge meals on camera.
Success traits?
Holy moly!
My creativity score is off the charts!
I just got two stars on everything.
You've got six stars for creativity!
There's not even room for any more stars or maybe you could have one more.
That must be like maximum creativity.
You're like genius level creative.
I'm the top level!
You're the highest level!
Normal is the lowest level.
That's cool! Ok, well yeah. Thanks for clarifying that.
Thanks for clarifying that.
I've always said this about you.
- You have. - I feel like this is confirmed, guys.
This is good, people in the comments.
- Get a round of applause. Encouragement. - I also feel like,
I need to state that you are also very creative.
Yeah. HAHAHAHAHA
That was the most forced compliment ever!
Personality traits? Agreeableness.
Agreeableness? It can tell you how agreeable you are set to be with your DNA?
I'm likely balanced.
Ok, me too. Me too. Conscientiousness?
- Likely balanced. - Likely balanced.
Neuroticism? Likely balanced.
Likely calm.
Ooh! Ok. Ok. Yeah.
Why are you laughing?
Sorry. Can we just pause the video?
I want to know why you think I'M NEUROTIC?!
I AM LIKELY CALM!
Ok, ok, ok.
There is 0.1 per cent inaccuracy so,
- You know... There you go. - It's possible.
In fairness, as well, I clicked on the 'likely balanced' thing and it says,
"Science suggests that genetic factors account for approximately 48 per cent of how emotionally stable you are."
Yeah, I'm swimming in that 52 per cent.
Oh! Male Sex Hormones. Normal!
What's your Male Sex Hormone?
Exactly the same.
Oh...
Ok...
I mean, I guess that's good.
Sports and Fitness.
Whoa!
First thing that pops out to me, that is not surprising at all and we've known for a while.
Water loss. Above average. I sweat!
My lactate production is also above average.
What like, how much lactose you create?
Lactating. Isn't that what lactating is?
Maybe?
Like, how well can you be milked? That's probably not what they're talking about.
Oh, lactic acid. It'll be lactic acid.
- Wow. That's a relief. - That was a close one.
Lactate production!
Ok, so what was your lactate production?
Above average.
Oh, mine's below average.
That's a good thing because obviously, the less lactic acid, the more stamina.
I'm so relieved that I don't lactate.
It's just they need a new...
What's your Optimal Sports Type? Because I have medium power.
Medium endurance.
High strength.
Oh! You're all about the strength.
But that is true. I'm freakishly strong for such a small frame.
Sleep and stress. Short, average stress tolerance. How about you?
I need greater than nine hours per night.
All right. I feel like you win that one.
No, no. No, it's a draw. It's a draw. It's just natural tendency.
- You're lazy and I... - You're an idiot.
Sleep movement?
Average.
More.
Oh, you move a lot in your sleep.
I do move a lot in my sleep. You sleep like a corpse.
You, literally, I sleep moving around all over the place, mouth open, dribbling everywhere.
He literally sleeps like this.
You also have this weird thing when you wake up.
- What are the weird things? - I'd be interested in the comments if anyone else does this.
When you wake up. You don't want to open your mouth.
Yeah, ok. That's.. yeah.
It's like breaking the seal of awakeness for you.
Yeah, no. That's exactly what it is. Yeah.
Other people have experienced this, right? This isn't just me.
Like your saliva seals your lips together as you sleep and so,
- In the morning. - Nobody here understands this.
You have to like pry them open and once they're pried.
You know, you have to literally go back to sleep fully again in order to shut them so you're awake.
Sometimes, when we shared a hotel room. You would get up to go to the loo in the morning.
I'm like, "Hey, man. How'd you sleep?" And he'd be like...
Lips are sealed. And I'd only like crack an eye.
And I know that, that means he's going back to sleep.
- Because then, when I lie down, shut my eyes, - Mouth hasn't been opened.
- Keep breathing through my nose. - It's insane.
- What happens is... - Literally, he'll be like,
"Mm mm. Mm mm."
Guys! This can't be me. This can't be only me in the world.
When I open my mouth what happens is my mouth thinks I'm awake, so it starts generating more saliva.
Whereas...
- This is the weirdest thing ever. - I'm serious! This is the thing!
And when it's been shut all night, it knows I'm sleeping.
- I'm just checking CircleDNA for weird mouth-shut sleep sealant. - When I'm sleeping the saliva production slows down,
So I have to keep, you know, I don't know whatever you do when you're awake.
Like, naturally swallowing saliva.
Just dribble it out. That's how my body deals with it.
All right. Who wins?
I don't know.
Was anyone keeping track? No-one was keeping track.
This is fascinating. If you guys also want to check out,
Which disease you're at risk of potentially getting,
What you should eat,
What you need to be careful of,
How long you actually need to be sleeping genetically.
How likely your ears are to protrude.
Ok, I don't think it means you're... Oh, is it actually talking about ears?
I think so.
- Wow, that's fascinating. - I had high risk.
Prince Charles ears.
Well, FA Cup ears.
FA Cup? That's harsh.That's harsh.
Well, yeah. If you want to find all this information,
Go check out CircleDNA use the code "JOLLY",
And you can get 33 per cent off.
Which is 33 per cent more than I have ancestry outside of Northern Europe.
It's kind of useful though, like, all of this information. It's like the immovable things about you, right?
Yeah, I guess so. It's the building blocks.
It's the building blocks of life and it's the immovable things about you so,
It feels like kind of an investment, right?
Yeah, it is actually really good to know.
Guys, if you want to check it out, please do.
Use our code "JOLLY". Get 33 per cent off.
And in the meantime,
See you JOLLY soon.
- See you later. - Bye.
I'm Sarah from Norway and my reason to be JOLLY today is
That it's currently 10pm and look how bright the sky is!
