00:01There was research published in Science Advances that suggests that people whose natural body odors are chemically similar are more likely to click and form fast friendships.
00:16That's funny.
00:19Statistically, what are the odds of this happening?
00:22They're pretty decent.
00:23But I mean, the research is questionable because it's early and there hasn't been a whole lot done.
00:29But also, aren't people's natural scents and things often hidden behind deodorants and colognes and things of that nature?
00:38Yeah, but maybe there's something that you can sense.
00:39Like a pheromone?
00:40Yeah, there might be an undertone of a scent.
00:45I mean, you've seen dogs, right?
00:47I've seen dogs.
00:48You have seen dogs, right?
00:49You've lived a long life.
00:51You've seen a dog or two, right?
00:53Cat or dog?
00:54Dog.
00:55Guys, I've never seen a dog.
00:57Oh, my God!
00:58And you have dogs!
01:00I know.
01:00I've never seen them.
01:02It was...
01:03I know.
01:04Go ahead.
01:04You've seen dogs.
01:05You've seen dogs meet each other and they'll sniff and everything...
01:09Exchange business cards.
01:10Everything seems fine, but they catch a sniff and they're like, no, I don't like this guy.
01:16You know what I mean?
01:17That's actually how dogs are...
01:19You're not supposed to have your dogs greet face to face.
01:22You're supposed to let them do that.
01:24And I guess that's how they figure out if they like the other dog or not.
01:26Buds to nuts.
01:27Buds to nuts.
01:28And then they smell something in the air?
01:30Well, you know, don't you hate if someone...
01:32If you're out with your dogs and people who are in the know know what you do, you extend
01:36your hand to allow the dog to smell it first before you just, you know, ram your hand in
01:42and start patting away.
01:43Didn't I sniff you guys and determine who was...
01:46I identified you each by your smell?
01:48Yeah, you're so good at it.
01:49Did you?
01:50Yeah.
01:50I think you did, yes.
01:51I think we did.
01:52Yeah.
01:52Because I thought that I could identify who you were just by your smell when you came
01:57by.
01:57I want to do that again.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Can we do that right now?
02:00Oh, I'll kiss you.
02:00Look, we don't know what we're doing right now, so should we get a blindfold?
02:03Yeah, we can try.
02:04Would you mind?
02:05Get a blindfold.
02:05I'm sorry.
02:06Get a blindfold.
02:07Yeah.
02:07Casey and I don't...
02:08We're doing science!
02:09Let's see if we can kiss, too.
02:11See if we can kiss us by kissing.
02:13Bart your lips.
02:14Casey and I usually don't shower in the morning.
02:17In fact, I hardly ever shower in the morning.
02:19I know Preston and Steve, you guys almost always do.
02:21Oh, every day.
02:22Every single morning.
02:23I'm a night shower.
02:24Even before I'm going to work out, I will shower and then...
02:27So, Kathy, does that make a difference?
02:30Oh, yeah.
02:31Steve always smells clean.
02:32Oh, I like that.
02:33Thank you, I try.
02:34It's like a clean scent.
02:36It's like a warm Zephyr on a summer's day.
02:38You know what's going to have to happen?
02:39We're going to have to blindfold her.
02:40One at a time, we're going to have to step over there, but we can't be speaking at
02:43all, so she doesn't know.
02:44So, you're going to have to kind of narrate this, if you will.
02:48All right.
02:48Wait, let me stand up.
02:49All right, so we'll announce as we step over, right?
02:51And we'll each have...
02:53She'll have to identify us by number, okay?
02:56All right, spin her around.
02:58Hey, wait.
02:59Should we get her out of the room?
03:01Wait, hold on.
03:02Should we get her up on the roof?
03:03Leave the room for a moment.
03:04You want me to leave?
03:05Yeah.
03:05Get out of here!
03:06Leave with your blindfold on.
03:08Connor, you're going to have to guide her back in in a moment.
03:11We want to hear you.
03:12Yeah, I know.
03:12Spin her around in the parking lot.
03:15Don't worry.
03:15We'll figure this out.
03:16All right.
03:16Now, everyone switch pants.
03:18I'm going to give each one of us a number, and here you go.
03:21Okay.
03:22Now, don't...
03:23This is the order at which...
03:24Don't announce these numbers.
03:25All right?
03:26No, no, no.
03:26All right.
03:26This is the order at which we will go in.
03:28Now, we've never met, right?
03:30Right.
03:30Okay.
03:30We've never met.
03:31And, Marissa, you're just going to have to say, all right, Kathy, this is number
03:33one.
03:34This is number two.
03:35All right.
03:35And then we'll get her commentary on who she thinks it is when we're all completed.
03:41Okay.
03:41I suggest taking off any, like, lanyards or anything.
03:44Yeah, yeah.
03:45Jewelry.
03:46Take off the clothes.
03:48Pacemakers.
03:49Why the lanyards?
03:51Some of...
03:51Like, Nick has a little jingle to them, and you just know each other.
03:54Oh, okay.
03:54So, no.
03:54I got a jingle.
03:55No audio.
03:55I'm taking off my spurs.
03:57Nick McElwain.
04:00That's his jingle.
04:01And my Benoit balls.
04:03All right.
04:03So, Marissa, I'm going to give you the mic.
04:05Have Kathy come back in, please.
04:08Now, we need to shut up.
04:09And then let's have her sit at the microphone.
04:11All right.
04:11Okay.
04:12Or stand.
04:12And you know what?
04:13All of us, we're going to go to the other side of the room once she gets in here.
04:17And we'll come over one at a time, Kathy, and you can smell us, okay?
04:21Okay.
04:21What?
04:22All right.
04:22Very much so.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Right there.
04:23All right.
04:24We're going to go to the other side of the room.
04:25Marissa, here you go.
04:26I'm going to give the microphone to you.
04:27Here we go.
04:29Which way am I facing?
04:30Face that way.
04:31That's perfect.
04:31This way?
04:32Okay.
04:32Kathy, didn't you predict last week that it would be the Kathy and Marissa show in less
04:35than a week?
04:35That's right.
04:36It happened.
04:37And here we are.
04:37It happened.
04:39All right.
04:39Number one, step up to the microphone.
04:41So, I want to...
04:41I need to, like, smell, like...
04:44Wait.
04:44I don't want to get too close.
04:47She's sniffing his neck.
04:49That's...
04:50I think...
04:51I think it's neck.
04:53Are we saving it to the end?
04:56Okay.
04:56We'll save it to the end.
04:57How about number two?
04:58Please join Kathy Romano at the microphone.
05:02She's sniffing around.
05:04Oh, that's Steve.
05:05Okay.
05:06Number three, step up.
05:09We're not revealing this until the very, very end.
05:13Wait.
05:16Oh, Preston.
05:17Kathy is taking this very, very seriously.
05:19Number four is stepping over.
05:21This is the last one.
05:22Ew.
05:25Just kidding.
05:26I think it's Casey.
05:30You can take off your blindfold.
05:31Okay.
05:32Now everybody's...
05:32Now everybody's back.
05:34Wow.
05:36That was 100%.
05:38You got every...
05:40She nailed it.
05:40You got every single one of us...
05:43Holy moly.
05:44In a second.
05:44The only one you were kind of like Nick was like, I think this might be Nick.
05:47That was the only one.
05:48And you said closest to him.
05:50There wasn't much there.
05:51Yeah.
05:51Yeah.
05:52And maybe it's because you showered last night.
05:54You know what I mean?
05:54I think so.
05:54And not this morning.
05:55Yeah.
05:55How did you know it was...
05:56You're like, oh, that's Preston.
05:57Um, it's like a, uh...
06:00How would you describe how I smell?
06:02Okay.
06:02Um...
06:02Like a dead mouse?
06:03No, I'm not.
06:04And you guys are going to laugh.
06:04It's almost like a, like, fruity, sweet smell.
06:07There you go.
06:08That's very nice.
06:09Okay.
06:10I'm fruity and sweet.
06:11Was it Steve's scent that gave him away?
06:13Steve is a very light cologne.
06:15Right.
06:16Um, Casey...
06:17Well, I knew it was you at the end because that was the only other person that I didn't
06:20pick, but, um, I forget what yours is.
06:23Yours might be, uh, either like a detergent or, or a light cologne.
06:27I smell cologne on Casey.
06:28Yeah, it's a cologne.
06:29A cologne.
06:29Okay.
06:30But it's light.
06:31It's not, you don't put too much on.
06:32Yeah.
06:32Which is crazy because I feel like I do put too much on, but I, I don't know.
06:37I do like...
06:37All right.
06:38I actually have a small...
06:39Like, eight freezes, right?
06:40Like, eight.
06:40Well, what I do is...
06:41I do four.
06:42I do do four.
06:43I, I fill the sink with the cologne and I push my...
06:45Yeah.
06:46Yeah.
06:46By the way, I got this text that says, the Kathy and Marissa show is refreshing.
06:49There you are, guys.
