The eyes are the window to whether you’re a freakin’ sociopath. – Let’s talk about that. (fun theme music) (fire blazing) Good Mythical Morning. – Rhett, honestly, are you a sociopath? – I don’t know. (laughs) – Well I’m glad you’re honest but – That’s what this is about, right? – We’re gonna find out the answer today because I’m gonna walk you through a regimen and experiment to determine if you’re a sociopath 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’s 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. – Okay. – 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. – Right, that’s how you get those ad 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, well I guess and eyebrows and wrinkles around his eyes, is he terrified, arrogant, annoyed, or upset? – [Rhett] Mm. – [Link] Don’t over think it, just, you know. – [Rhett] Upset, he looks upset, he feels upset. – And you are right. Okay. – Ha, I’m not a sociopath! Case closed! – Not so squick. – Not sco squick, man. – No so squick, man. Here’s another one. Take a look at this lady’s eyes. – [Rhett] Hey. – [Link] Eyebrows and eyelashes. Is she decisive, amused, aghast, or bored? – [Rhett] Well her eyebrows are on fleek, first of all. – [Link] They are, man. – She’s either decisive or bored. I’m gonna go with decisive because she seems like, “I know “who I am. “I know how much time I spend on these eyebrows.” – Now, how close are you to almost choosing bored? – It’s like a 70-30. – Okay so you’re a 30% sociopath. Case closed! – (laughs) Alright then. – No, you’re right. It is decisive. – 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 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 is as much of a correlation between emotional intelligence and socio-thpathy. – Oh, yeah that’s what it is. Socio-thpy. – 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 kinda boring. 36 questions, I mean, those are two of the questions right there straight off the test. – Boring. – 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. – Round one. Alright, take a look at this first one, Rhett. – That’s Mike. Is that the question? – No, is he confused, – Oh. – Terrified, crabby, or scandalous? – Well, his left eye is bigger than his right eye. I don’t think I’ve ever looked Mike into the eyes, you know? – Well, I don’t think that’s a permanent affixation of his eyeballs. I think that’s part of the expression. – I have the same issue, Mike, don’t worry. – That hair on the left side of his face is kinda scandalous, would you say? He’s got scandalous side bang. – I feel like it’s crabby. I feel like he’s crabby. I feel like he’s like, quit messing with me, get out of my space. With a lisp like that. – Unlike the New York Times test we do have the liberty of seeing a wider shot so let’s show him the answer. (bell rings) – (laughing) Hey! – You’re correct. – Yeah, ’cause I’m not a sociopath, man. – I’m not gonna act disappointed. It’s not like I wanna work with a sociopath. – I didn’t expect a crab suit but… – You kinda lose one eye being bigger than the other when you see the crab suit. – Yeah. Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for. That’s why I’m so tall so I can be away from people’s faces when they’re looking at me. They can’t see the assymetry in my face. – Oh, yeah. – That’s why I’m tall. – Let’s show you another one here, bam. – [Rhett] Hey, Alex. – [Link] 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 just your opinion of him. – Well first of all, I mean, kudos for eye symmetry, you know? Again, I never looked him in the eyes either but… He definitely looks like 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. A. – Let’s take a look. (bell rings) – (laughing) Yeah! – But you didn’t say he was fantasizing about crabby Mike. – I’m so emotionally intelligent. (laughs) – Yeah, man. – What? – Alright, you’re doing really good so far. – Yeah I am. – But you still might be a sociopath. Okay. Round two. – Round two. Now we’re upping the complexity we’ve got two adjectives per. Take a look. – Okay. – [Link] There’s Kevin. – [Rhett] Oh, that’s Kevin. – Is he creepy and touchy? You see how this is more difficult. – Oh, gosh. – Is he psychedelic and tight-fisted, or is he constipated but well respected? Which is a great combo. You know, if I’m gonna be constipated I also wanna be well respected. – Creepy and touchy, huh? – Creepy and touchy. Those could really go well together. It’s like chocolate and vanilla or peanut butter and chocolate. – I don’t think Kevin is a touchy guy, he’s never touched me. – Well you weren’t there for the photo shoot. – He doesn’t really seem constipated. You know, he doesn’t seem… – That left eye is really relaxed. – Well, that’s what I’m saying. He feels like he’s super relaxed in the face but maybe he’s got tight fists that I can’t see. So I’m gonna go with B, psychedelic and tight-fisted. – Let’s take a look. Boom. (bell rings) (laughs) Look at you, man. – [Rhett] Hey! – [Link] You’re doin’ it! – I am so morally on point. (laughs) You’re emotionally in touch with psychedelic – Oh, wow. – And tight-fisted Kevin. – [Rhett] Look at that. – [Link] And that’s not a wig either. Yeah. – He’s been growin’ out those locks. – He grew it and then he cut it and I never noticed. – [Link] Let’s keep going. Oh, Eddie. Look at him. – Oh, gosh. – Man, Eddie. He needs a break. Is he overheated and over it, is he lethargic and paternal? (laughs) I can relate to that, you know? Have kids. Or is he gassy and claustrophobic? – Oh, that would be a problem. Gassy and claustrophobic, huh? – Tap into that emotional intelligence that you’ve bragging about. – Yeah. You know, he doesn’t seem like he’s in a lot of stress. – Unless he’s in a lot of stress. – He doesn’t seem like he’s in a lot of stress, he does seem bored. But it doesn’t seem like he’s tired which would be lethargy. It 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 A, overheated and over it. – Let’s take a look. No. – Ah! – [Link] He is lethargic and paternal. – [Rhett] Wow, he looks… – [Link] Baby Chase is… – Is this an ad for some sort of cologne? – You see cologne somewhere? – I just thinkin’ that I’m imagining what they smell like which is what most cologne ads are supposed to evoke. – Sure, we can add some cologne to that. – This man and this man in his arms smell great and you could smell just like them. – Baby Chase is very needy but he smells good. – Is that a diaper? – I believe it is a man diaper. – Yeah, it is a diaper. – Yes. – Okay, alright, maybe I’m a little sociopathic. Round three. – Round three. Alright now we’re upping the ante. We’re making the choices even more challenging. Okay? – Okay. – [Link] Check it out. – [Rhett] That’s Ellie. – Alright, here are you options. A, 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 B, Ellie is distraught by a body-wide eczema breakout, and as she beings 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 Chase just crank the last of. – Oh, wow. – 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. ‘Cause 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. – That’s right. – A very clever integration. – I mean, it definitely is a good time. (laughs) It’s always a good time when it’s Code Red. – Oh, good time. Code Red is code for what? – Are they sponsoring this episode? – Yes. – Really? – No. – Code Red, always bringing Ellie a good time. – So Ellie gets paid for that one. – I don’t think they are a sponsor so I’m going with A. I think I’ve seen Ellie with a pickle before. – Mm, so she’s having an existential crisis while opening a pickle jar, let’s see. (bell rings) – Yeah! That’s a pickle jar! – She’s trying to open it. – [Rhett] I’m not a sociopath. – [Link] Look at her thinking. – [Rhett] Oh. Ooo. – Ooo. – Yeah. – Dawnin’ on her. – [Rhett] Where did that drop, on a mattress or something? – Her foot. – She seemed so calm. – She had a steel foot and that’s why it shattered. – She looks like a sociopath. Is that what’s up for grabs here? – You could still be one. Here’s another one. – [Rhett] That’s Lizzie. – [Link] Here’s your choices. A, 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 B, Lizzie is getting increasingly frustrated by her inability to tell the difference between a rutabaga and a turnip while Eddie and Micah are dragging Kevin’s psychedelic and tight-fisted body. Also, Lizzie is wearing 15 jackets because she’s always cold. – Ah, well Lizzie is always cold. – Mhm. That’s a safe bet. – Never seen her wear 15 jackets but it doesn’t matter because she’s wearing them in both of my choices. – That is an astute observation unless there’s a third option that you can choose that’s neither one of these. That’s not an option. – The thing about Lizzie, and I see it in her eyes right now, is that 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? – Just from her eyes. I’m going with A. This is a Beatles’ album remake. – Rewind! Alright, check it out. I’m sorry, Rhett. (buzzes) – [Rhett] Oh. She doesn’t know the difference. – [Link] Look at her looking at a rutabaga and a turnip. There goes tight-fisted Kevin. – Wow. There he is, he’s so tight-fisted. – [Link] Riga mortis has totally set in with that dude. – Wow, how’d you remain so tight-fisted, Kevin? – Well he’s psychedelic, man. – (laughing) Oh, yeah, right. – He’s also dead in that scene. – Okay. – So don’t acknowledge that he’s alive over there on that camera. – I’m doubting myself now. – Well you should be ’cause it’s over and you didn’t get ’em all right. – Yeah. – Which I’m now determining means you’re a sociopath. – 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 Brett McLaughlin. You maybe could be a sociopath – I’ve gotten those before. – But we don’t really know, okay? Great job, good times! – Oh, yeah, those are the kind that I like. – I’m gonna sign that and thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing. – You know what time it is. – Hey, I’m Mikey. I’m on a merry-go-round in Kissimmee, Florida and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – You know what my eyes are saying to you right now? They’re saying that your lips need to be hydrated and if they need to be hydrated, you should do that with Link’s Peculiarly Perfect Peanut Butter Peppermint lip balm.
