we are going to play a game to determine if we and you could be super recognizers okay hi I’m Issa I Neely we’re from the Philippines nigga Marty good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by the red link story you can get merch like t-shirts shoes hey do we sell pants we should sell pants let’s sell some pants let’s put it start selling pad jeans pants khakis capris let’s let’s just become like j.crew okay anyway today is going to be fun I have a game in store for us and all types of learning this is a learning environment this is an atmosphere of fun and learning this is like that science teacher that you had in middle school that you still think he’s awesome but you never write him letters why don’t you write him a letter right I write my science teacher letters right right mr. science teacher a letter people come on okay super recognizers are you one of those people that never forgets a face I’m one of those people that I’m like I know you I know that guy from somewhere but I can never remember where or who it is so that that means you aren’t almost recognized yep a super recognizer is super about it someone who once they know somebody or seen a face they never forget it it’s like an elephant a superhuman ability just based on the face alone and it says it’s a certain part of the brain that really does this that if you’re really good at it you could be a super recognized the elephant part of the brain now what we’re going to do is we are going to play a game we’re gonna do a test here and you can play along in a few minutes we’re going to show photos this is how you test if you’re a good way to test if you’re super recognized we’re going to show photos of people before they were famous if you can get all of these right and it’s just like bam bam bam automatic you may be a super rep but you also have to know who stars are which I I’m not that I’m like you’re that guy that was in you know who’s that guy that was in big uh Tom Yanks Tom Hanks you know it’s like I I’m just you’re already making excuses I’m hedging ok a little background first 60 minutes did a story on super recognizers which I’ll put the link in the description you should watch that but that was a follow up to a story that they did earlier on the opposite of super recognizers these are people who are clinically defined as quote face-blind i saw i saw this i watched it when it was on and it’s very passionately a woman couldn’t recognize her own daughter they like did something like my other hair the other way or changed her scent if right if that part of the brain is that that goes into facial recognition is a little messed up ur didn’t develop properly everything else could be totally normal about you but if you just look at somebody’s face and this is how you test that they showed it on 60 minutes they just showed like a picture of Tom Cruise’s face without his hair or any of his body or like any of the sets of Mission Impossible and their Idol context I it’s impossible I can’t tell you that is Michael Jordan I don’t know who that is or you could put some money in one of those Olympic track suits from like the 92 Olympics you remember those were that they wore they came over the hood and they just exposed their face remember that is that that is a face blind test it’s a face blind test suit or a track suit you were doing that at the Olympics who would have known I didn’t know that um and there’s this one woman who I think she was a doctor she talked about how she would talk to someone who had a certain type of hairstyle and then if the woman in the middle of the conversation took her hair up and put it in a ponytail all of a sudden who are you it was like the woman disappeared not literally disappeared but it’s like I have no idea who you are it she didn’t even walk away or anything it was just so she then take the hair back out it’s like oh that’s Tina its it came in that bad it is that bad people couldn’t be like you said people could not recognize their own in the middle of a conversation I mean you can’t be that stupid it’s right it’s not about being stupid don’t don’t denigrate these people some of them are watching we have huge face blind fans they have no idea who we are though right you know I’m saying may have no idea who we are they don’t know who they’re watching no doesn’t matter they know who you are based on the ridiculous fringe of your head like look at that hair and this beard yeah but I’m wearing a different shirt today so they have no idea who I and your voice in context so I can talk higher I mean these people are very smart all right what else we got I want to but but it’s a little bit sad so let’s go back to super recognizers because this is fun this is awesome and I think we could be these people so what we’re going to do is we’re going to play a game we’ve got photos on this iPad once I open it there are photos that jason has loaded on here of people before they were
