Do we have cat-like reflexes?
Welcome to Good Mythical More.
Ever since I saw this thing.
What.
On TikTok.
Here it is.
I was like, we gotta get one.
Just noticed.
I'm so glad.
I'm so glad it's here.
We're gonna get to that in a second.
We're gonna do a couple
of reaction time things.
This is a flute.
Yeah, it's an upside down pan Flute.
You're gonna love it.
Now these are gonna fall
and we're gonna catch 'em.
And we are going to, before we
get to that, we're gonna do these
reaction time tests on this website.
Can I just say that if I hadn't known
we were gonna be doing reaction time to,
uh, I wouldn't have eaten so much cheese.
Peanut butter.
Chocolate.
I like, I.
The last few bites of of that
cheese pizza are settling.
Woo, buddy.
It's heavy, isn't it?
Okay.
Um, too much I tried to tell you.
So this, and I fed you more.
This first one.
Uh, you press it and then you wait for it
to turn green and then you hit it as soon
as it turns green and then it tells you.
So the average reaction time based
on I guess, how the, the data
collected so far is 273 milliseconds.
I'm gonna be good at this.
You know why?
Because you're a great clicker.
'cause I just went to the optometrist.
Oh, they, they say Put your, put
your, put your face up to this thing.
Okay.
And look straight ahead
and it closes one eye.
And then when you look straight
ahead, it'll have like squiggly.
And every time that you get
a squiggly, you hit a button.
And you're, it tests your peripheral vision.
But I also try to do it to
like, as quickly as possible.
As quickly as possible to like react.
I'm like, you're trying
to impress your doctor.
Oh yeah.
Try to impress that.
Opto,
get that, uh, optometry attention.
Okay, here we go.
So you then me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wait for green.
Click.
Oh, above average 3 0 1.
Uh, millisecond.
You want to go three each and then Sure.
Okay.
Oh, still above average.
You improved A little bit better.
All right.
See if you can get it into the, I'm old man.
Two fifties.
I'm old.
Oh, you went back up.
I could not get, oh no,
you went, you improved.
Oh, really?
Right?
You were at 2 95.
Yeah.
Three something.
Boy, I, I actually thought I might be
pretty good at this, but I'm below average.
We might need to get a youngster in here.
Alright.
You're a little bit younger than me.
You're a little bit younger than me.
Right.
I like your technique.
Based on what?
Based on what I've seen.
I like your technique.
Oh, come on, cheater.
You okay?
Oh, come on now.
Come on, Ben Johnson.
I, I, I, I'm not submitting
myself to a urine tech.
You can, you can't, you can't do that.
Are you on performance enhancing drugs?
Oh, a little bit worse, but
pretty close to what I got.
Improving but still a little bit worse.
We're both worse than average though.
We've gotta beat 2 73.
Where does it say average?
The average median reaction
time is 2 73 based.
Now we are contributing to that going up.
The more we play
the This is depressing, isn't it?
I know, I mean, I thought
I was pretty, pretty quick.
Uh, try again.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, wait.
What?
Hold on.
What just happened?
I don't know.
It said wait for green.
Yeah.
And the thing, this thing that has
happened now five times, it's the
same thing that was about to happen.
You click it, then you wait for green
and then click it again for green.
Well, you know, I was trying.
Come on.
Break 200.
Break 300.
You gotta, no, you gotta be on the thing.
And I mean, I scroll, I
scrolling, quit scrolling.
I am a really good scroller.
Like I'm the quickest scroller.
You're making the average horrible.
I'm not doing that.
Yes you are.
No I'm not.
Okay, here we go.
Yes.
Uh, you gotta, I'm getting worse.
You gotta break 300, I believe in you.
Hey, do you need a massage?
Mikayla,
come show us.
How, how?
I do, do you need a sports massage?
How a, a younger woman?
Uh, uh, I don't, I don't
know how old you are.
Young, younger than us.
Okay.
Alright.
I'm nervous now.
Well see.
She scrolled.
That was by accident?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Oh, that was bad.
That felt bad.
Okay.
No, that was my finger.
Just a couple notes.
No, that's just what we did.
A couple of notes.
You got notes.
Okay.
I wanna hear your notes.
Your finger wasn't on the
button, it was hovering.
Well, yeah, I need to hover, 'cause if
it's on the button, I'll do what you did.
That's, I click it too soon.
I think you need to get every advantage
you can based on that performance.
Okay.
So keep your finger on
it and then anticipate.
See you were talking too much.
You can't talk to somebody.
You were talking too much.
You can't bring her in
here and make it worse.
In fact, you should get
up and let her sit down.
You wanna sit down?
Yeah.
Lemme sit down.
You sit down?
Mm-hmm.
I would love to take your seat.
Okay.
Alright, well, I'm gonna stand behind
you and I'm gonna hit you seat.
All right.
Mikayla, you have to beat us.
You gotta get better than I got.
Two 90 was my best.
Two 90.
Okay.
That's pretty good.
We're almost 50.
Yeah.
Okay.
Whew.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alright.
I'm scared now.
You got it.
You got it.
Ooh, get outta here.

Ru's got better reflexes than you.
Okay.
That was really bad.
Okay.
Alright.
Okay.
Well this doesn't count.
Yeah, this doesn't count.
That doesn't count.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
I think you can break.
I think you can bake three.
If you break three.
I will get outta here.
If you don't, okay.
Shoot.
Oh, dang it.
Ooh, he broke three, but he broke three.
But I did, I got 2 91 time, one time.
You wanna try the other one, the other game?
Or you want, you can the other game.
I don't believe these numbers.
Games.
Okay.
Yeah.
What's the other game?
The other tab.
That's the, yeah, the other tab.
There you go.
Oh, the, and I'm gonna get outta here.
What is this?
Aim trainer?
30 targets as quickly as you.
Well, you gotta be good at a mouse.
I'm not good at a mouse.
Yeah.
This is just mouse test.
Hit 30 targets.
Okay.
Oh god.
Oh.
What?
Oh my God.
Haven't you ever played duck hunt?
No, I'm, I'm, I don't play first
person scrollers or anything either.
Scrollers
side.
Scrollers shooters, first person crawler.
Oh, oh.
Uh, all right.
9 42. 9 42. Give gimme, gimme a shot.
Uh, I think you're pretty good with a mouse.
You had a lot of gears at the mouse.
You got a collective groan back here.
Yeah.
I deserve everybody.
I have not used a mouse in.
I mean, I think the last time
I used a mouse was a pandemic.
We used a,
sorry, y'all.
I mean, well, the mouse is slow.
Well, uh, this is what we've been,
this is what we've been given.
Just use it.
Oh my God.
What you worse than me?
Oh, you worse than me.
It's the mouse dude.
I mean.
I mean it is frustrating to watch.
I'll give you that much.
My eyes are watering.
Try not to blink.
Oh god.
This is the toughest first
person scroller I've ever.
Wow.
Worse than me.
Okay.
Come on.
Hey, we got you.
Better it in this why we
got a reputation to uphold.
We do.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think we have to just, you have to trust.
You have to trust it.
Trust the movements.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Loosen up.
Oh, he's going faster.
Doug.
Does it matter how many clicks?
Oh, those are easy.
They were all together.
Yours are all together.
Oh, it's moving now.
It's a moving target.
Am I right?
Seven 13.
All right.
Now let me just go Banshee on it.
Go Banshee.
Hold on.
Save your score to see how you compare.
Let's just see how that compares.
You're in the 4.3 percentile.
Does that mean that 96% of
people are better than me?
Huh, well that's, that's
what we think back here.
That's 96% of the people
who come to this website.
You know, that's not normal people.
Oh God, I'm so bad at this.
I'm gonna speed up though.
I'm gonna get better as time goes on.
I'm one of those guys,
that first person scroller.
Uh, hey, we are good at some things.
Oh my gosh, my eyes are watering.
Okay.
A lot of, a few extra clicks here.
Hey, you did break that up.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
Let's do this thing.
Let's do that thing.
We're gonna be good at this one.
Okay?
So, uh, you're gonna be the
one to control this first.
So if you come up here, I'm
not gonna bring it down.
Ow.
What?
If you come up here and look at this,
uh, come up here and look at this.
On the left hand side, you press that, and
if this, this one light is easy, two lights
is hard, medium and three lights is hard.
Mikayla showed you how to use it.
Why are you showing me how to use it?
Why don't you just use it?
Uh, no, because you, because I wanna
be in position when you start the game.
So, well, we're gonna do this to get it.
I'm asking, why can't I be in position?
Let's play sports together.
So I'm just saying, look, if I were to
do this, that's hard and that's easy.
So it's easy mode.
I'm gonna get in position and then you
just press on and then it starts going
okay, but you gotta get, you gotta move.
Everything's outta move outta the way.
Everything's gotta be moved outta the way.
So it needs to be a okay.
Now this is easy, easy mode.
I don't want people to
say that we're cheating.
Is there something wrong with like
just having your hands down here and
waiting is like, is that part of it?
I think you can do that.
I think you shouldn't sit.
Yeah, I think you should be a crouch.
You shouldn't sit.
Okay.
Yeah.
Being a, being a cro.
Crouch, crotch.
Here you go.
You use the quads.
It's the easiest one.
Yeah.
3, 2, 1. Go.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
So I got all four.
Once I got, once I got got, I got four.
I got four.
After the first two.
It's more than four.
No, I'm saying I got all four.
There's six.
Once I got it, I got four in a row.
Once easier, once I, easier, once I got
the technique, all right, grab these and
just put 'em back in on the magnet side.
Which is the nipple side.
Okay.
Like little pool noodles
behind you right there.
Okay.
Okay.
Gonna keep it on easy.
Huh?
Ready?
Uh, no.
3, 2, 1, go.
I believe in you.
I believe him.
I believe him.
You good?
Yep.
You now you're gonna get
all the rest of them.
Nope.
I shouldn't have held onto that one.
God.
What?
What?
Oh, okay.
I held on to one.
You disqualification.
Okay.
Lemme try again.
Hey, first time for everything.
It's not a you're, it is not a
vegetable that you're picking, okay?
And lemme tell you, you're waiting
for the apple to fall from the tree.
The one that I caught, I, if it
were alive, I would've killed
it like I was squeezing so hard.
So when you catch it
immediately, discard 3, 2, 1.
Yes, go.
Yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes.
Five outta six.
Yes.
And I look through it.
That's my key.
Let's go up a notch.
Okay.
Uh, gather.
You look through it.
I don't look at 'em at all.
I'm not even using my eyes.
I'm using mind Sight intuition.
Mm-hmm.
There's one somewhere.
I don't know where it went.
Is it.
Here it is.
Okay.
We're going up to medium.
Going up to medium.
Okay.
Gimme a second.
Gimme a second.
What day is it?
So that means it's gonna go.
Yeah.
What I did was, when I was here, I
kind of did a death stare through it.
Okay.
Hold on, hold on.
Get that that way.
Three, two.
He's in one.
Go.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
Hey, we we're getting this.
So what did you get?
How many Four again?
You got four.
I got four.
Again, one of 'em I got there in
time, but it just didn't grasp it.
So it gets more difficult
because they're moving faster.
They definitely don't fall faster.
It, it's gravity.
It feels like they would get, it would
be more difficult if we, uh, were lower.
But this, the ones I've seen on
the internet were kinda like this.
3, 2, 1. Go.
Uhhuh.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
Oh, oh, oh.
You're, you're so high that
you're hitting him with the thing.
Go again.
Uh, again.
Go again.
Go again.
Where are they?
There's one right here.
Here we go.
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta do better than that.
Still missing one.
Oh, there it is.
Whoops.
I keep forgetting that that's there.
Air.
Yes.
Yeah.
Alright.
3, 2, 1, go.
Yes.
Ah,
okay.
Hey, that was cool.
You dropped and picked it up.
Okay, let's go hard.
Let's go hard.
Ugh.
I looked at a video, 'cause like on
the hard setting, they did a test with
Kaitlyn Clark, who only got two on hard.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
Yeah, she was upset.
She should be.
Put that last one on.
There.
We're done like this stick right there.
You got one more somewhere?
Oh, right there.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
Alright.
You gotta beat Caitlyn Clark.
Okay.
Okay.
We're on hard setting.
3, 2, 1. Go.
Hey.
Five outta six.
Five outta six.
Pretty good.
Five outta six.
Pretty good, dude.
Hey, you know what I just realized?
Pick a hand.
Pick a hand.
I picked right hand, and once
I picked right hand, I was just
going, oh, and drop it going.
And drop it going and drop.
Yeah, because then you're
not making a choice.
You're not making a choice.
You're taking all the choice out of it.
Caitlin.
Okay.
Hey, five outta six on hard.
What makes it I'm harder is my question.
How fast it is.
But the thing is, is that it felt like it
was on a rhythm, which makes it too easy.
Didn't it feel like it was on a rhythm?
Where's the other one?
Where's another one?
Right here.
And the other thing that I noticed
in, in terms of your technique
was you stayed here and you, you
waited for it to come down to you.
Yes.
'cause it gives you more time.
If you reach up, it goes below you.
Yeah.
Three.
Two, one go.
Yeah.
See, hold on.
I, I don't like one.
It's in a rhythm though.
I don't like one That feels unfair, right?
Is this this?
There's no way.
This is the same one that
Kaitlyn Clark, Clark used.
It is what it is, man.
Okay.
What is this doing for us?
Wearing us out?
No, no.
This is making or pumping us up.
This is making us better people.
Anybody see it?
I got it.
Okay.
This is making us better people.
Now let's go at the same time, but
then we're gonna be slapping five.
I've got the left.
You got right?
I just, I wanna see if I can get, I got five.
Didn't I get five outta six on her?
I wanna see if I can get six.
Lemme get in position into it.
I, I'll get in position and hit it.
Here we go.
3, 2, 1, go.
It is easy once you get it, but I got that.
Missed that second one?
Yep.
Yep.
Missed the second one.
It gets tough.
Let's, let's double team it.
Okay.
Double team.
I'm in a left hand.
You're gonna right hand and I'm
only doing the three on my side.
And you're only doing the three on your side?
That's right.
And we're not hitting each other.
I'm only going, if I see
one of these 3, 3, 2, 1, go.
Oh.
Okay.
Hey, we can do this.
The grunting though.
We can do this.
We can do this.
How about that?
We're gonna do this.
Hey Lake, we're gonna do this and
we're not gonna stop until we do it.
We're not gonna stop until we
do it without powers combined.
Oh God, we can grab it.
What's happening?
3, 2, 1. Go.
Ah.
Okay.
Start over.
Start over.
Sorry.
This is how you train.
This is, we're in training mode now.
Once you mess it up, you start over.
Okay.
Okay.
3, 2, 1, go.
Oh, come on.
Come on, come on.
Our powers combined.
Maybe you get lower, get
lower, you get lower.
3, 2, 1, go.
Ah.
Tantrum time.
You think we just live behind this desk?
We have lives.
Complex, sophisticated lives.
Okay.
You see.
