- Can Link's mouth sounds drive me crazy? - Let's talk about that.
-
♪ (theme music) ♪
-
- Good Mythical Morning! - Today we're going be doing an experiment, getting scientific.
-
But first, a little back ground.
-
My wife recently sent me an article about Misophonia.
-
- Uh huh. - Which literally means the hatred of sound.
-
People who suffer from Misophonia get so angry at body noises that come from other people,
-
like eating noises, snorting noises, wheezing noises, these kinds of things,
-
that they can literally break down and have a fight or flight response.
-
- It's a serious disorder. - Hm.
-
Now the reason my wife sent it to me is not because she actually thought that I had the disorder,
-
but she knows that I can relate to the disorder because of
-
- my friend Link here who is renowned from - Uh huh.
-
his mouth sounds, which I've lived with for many years because we eat a lot of
-
meals together and we share a work space together.
-
- I know I have a chewing problem. - Yeah, so just so you can understand
-
- what my world is like from time to time-- - (chewing sounds)
-
I don't know how that sounds to you at home, but there are a number of layers in this sound.
-
There is chewing sounds. There's something about the cheeks that
-
really push out the sound and reverberates around the room,
-
and then there's multiple pops that are happening on both sides of the jaws.
-
I think you have some sort of disorder that you might need to have looked at.
-
The dentist thinks I'm okay, but, yeah, I know that I have a chewing problem.
-
- And I gotta say-- - I get a lot of stares.
-
I don't let this affect our relationship, but I will say that these sounds are very
-
annoying so I can relate to the hatred of the sound, I don't hate you,
-
I really dislike that sound.
-
- I know that. - And I don't think i have the disorder
-
but I feel your pain if you do have Misophonia.
-
I have devised this experiment in order to help put things in perspective.
-
So that the sounds that I make in this experiment will then make you think that
-
the sounds I make in normal life are just to be appreciated.
-
Okay. This is like somebody who's facing their fear of heights by bungee jumping
-
- or something like that. - Yes so, first of all I'm gonna
-
hand him this sign which has a spectrum of anger on it so that you can indicate how
-
angry you are getting as I give you a few sounds.
-
- A lot of levels. Very colorful. - You also have to put on headphones.
-
And I'm bringing a special mouth sound microphone which I'm going to put right here.
-
And I have developed these sounds, these
-
- are proprietary mouth sounds for the most part. - Whoa, you're really loud in there.
-
I'm gonna be doing the sounds and they're more mouth sounds
-
they're not like me speaking at the top of my lungs.
-
- I'll back this up a little bit. - So if you're wearing headphones as you
-
- watch this, you're going to be hearing - Perfect!
-
exactly what I hear, okay.
-
And if you're not wearing headphones pause the video and get some headphones because
-
this is going to be ... well, it might be a little gross but you're going to learn
-
something and you can have your own anger scale.
-
If you actually have misophonia you should probably stop watching now.
-
So, are you ready for the first sound? You're going to process it, tell me on the
-
scale how angry it makes you.
-
- Okay. - And as a base line, let's just say how
-
angry does it make you when I just do my normal chewing like with the Trail Mix?
-
(both) Level seven.
-
Feeling like I'm at the DMV.
-
Okay, this first mouth sound I'm gonna give you ...
-
I don't like it but sometimes you gotta do it.
-
This first mouth sound I'm calling "the Gandalf smoke ring".
-
You know how he can blow smoke and then it turns into a ship?
-
Here it goes. (blowing air into microphone with drip sound)
-
Your guzzle is really going for it. There's a lot of guzzle action.
-
(giggles) Gandalf does that, too.
-
- (continues making sound) - I gotta say that, uh...
-
This is ... I don't know that ... This is kind of soothing in one ...
-
It's annoying a little bit, but ...
-
If it went on forever? I do it in my kids' ears all the time and
-
- they don't like it. - I'm gonna go with level ...
-
This is mild, I'm going to go with level two: Feeling like the line for the ride I'm
-
waiting for isn't too long, but it's still long enough to have to wait a little bit.
-
(laughs)
-
- It's a very specific emotion. - Right.
-
- You know how that is. - Yeah, yeah.
-
- I'm willing to do this. - Okay, I ... (coughs)
-
- Oh, excuse me I still got some trail mix. - Don't hurt yourself over there.
-
Um ... I call this next one, "I swallowed a live baby pig."
-
- Oh. Okay. - Which I've never actually done,
-
- I don't recommend that. - just to clarify.
-
Are you ready? (makes pigs sounds)
-
This one's not ... This is not pleasant.
-
- (both laugh) - (continues making pig sounds)
-
I would not want to be around you if you're making that.
-
I'm gonna say this is a level four: Feeling like I just chose the shortest
-
line at the Wal-Mart, but then the old lady in front of me asked
-
for a price check on the king-sized tube of BenGay.
-
- (Link and crew laughs) - Yeah you're that ... You're that angry.
-
- You know? - (makes pig sounds)
-
I got in the shortest line and she was like,
-
- "Um, how much is this?" - Okay ... (stutters)
-
Let me go into a weirder place, here. I call this one "Alien Ship Landing."
-
(vibrato humming) (breathes in)
-
- (vibrato humming continues) - Again, I ... Uh ...
-
I wouldn't want you to make this sound around me... Often.
-
- (higher pitched vibrato humming) - But it's not ...
-
- (sounds like an alarm) - It's not that bad,
-
I mean it's like I'm watching a sci-fi movie.
-
I'm gonna say I'm bothered a little bit. Level three:
-
Feeling like a cat getting it's belly rubbed ...
-
- You're bothering me. - (laughs)
-
Because cats do not like to have their bellies rubbed as much as ... um ... people don't
-
- want to believe that. - Okay, so I actually brought you
-
- back down. - You've kept me in the green and the blue
-
- so far, I mean, I've got lots of levels up here. - Hm.
-
- Okay, so ... - I'm anticipating.
-
Okay, so I'm not accomplishing my goal yet. Now, this next one ...
-
I've done since childhood. I developed this one in grade school.
-
- Okay. - You may have heard it before.
-
I call this one "The dying baby duck." (weak quacking sound)
-
- (crew) Woah. - (weak quacking continues)
-
You want two dying baby ducks at once? (weak quacking doubles)
-
I'm going to level six: Feeling like I ordered a cheeseburger,
-
drove away, got in the interstate, and realize they forgot the cheese.
-
- I hate it when that happens. - That makes me mad.
-
I'm legitimately upset at that noise. I don't want you to do that anymore.
-
- But a baby duck dying. - I don't like baby ducks dying either.
-
- So it's a combination of those two. - Who wants that?
-
- Can you do this one? - Uh-uh.
-
I don't ... I don't want to participate.
-
(giggles) Okay. I call this next one "The slurpee."
-
It involves ... um ... I'm getting some of this liquid. I'm gonna get some of this
-
Good Mythical Coffee in my mouth. (makes slurping sounds)
-
Ugh. Oh ...
-
This is moving into the yellow zone, level eight:
-
Feeling like I asked for a tattoo of a "Skull and Crossbones,"
-
and instead got a tattoo of a "Seagull and Cellphones."
-
- (makes slurping sounds) - That would be unfortunate,
-
- and it doesn't make any sense at all. - (crew laughs)
-
- What are you trying to say? -Um ...
-
Well I though a seagull and cellphone tattoo might be cool, so ... Yeah.
-
I don't think that would be cool. That's why I'm putting it at level eight.
-
- With the right artist. - In the yellow.
-
That's kind of like the tube that dentists put in your mouth to, like,
-
- suck out your ... - Yeah, I don't wanna hear that.
-
Your saliva. I can do that one too.
-
What else you got? So I'm definitely feel that I'm a little angry.
-
I'm a little annoyed, but I don't feel like I've been cured yet.
-
You look a little angry. Are you angry at home? I'm sorry.
-
This is good for everybody. I call this next one "The busted geyser."
-
- (loud spitting sound) - Does looking at your face count ...
-
- You can ... - because I really don't enjoy the face.
-
- Yeah you can look at the face. - It's like ...
-
Well I just want it to be the sound though.
-
- (makes sound again) -I don't enjoy the sound either.
-
-I'm going to, like ... - I feel like the mic is getting a little ...
-
I'm going to level ten: Feeling like I could punch a hole in
-
- the wall at home. - (laughs)
-
- Which I have done before. - You had done it?
-
Yes. Not in recent years. As a teenager I punched a hole in the wall.
-
- I was very upset about something. - Was that ...
-
- I couldn't tell you. - Okay.
-
That made me feel ... That took me back to that moment.
-
You can tell me in Good Mythical More. Alright, this next one I call the
-
"Spazzmatic horse." It involves taking off the glasses
-
so they don't get flung across the room. You ready?
-
- Yes. - (slapping cheeks along with growling)
-
- (laughs) - (crew laughs)
-
Woah. There's a lot of cheek action.
-
I'm not happy about it. It's kind of amusing though.
-
I fee ... I'm angry , but I'm a little bit ...
-
- There's a lot of spit coming out. - Oh really?
-
Yeah. A lot. I saw like, large drops that were very detectable.
-
I'm going to level nine on this: Feeling like my DVR accidentally didn't
-
record The Walking Dead, but instead recored 16 and Pregnant.
-
That would be disappointing to me. That would make me angry.
-
- Right. - But I still feel like ...
-
- That's the point. - I still feel like you can out do that.
-
Okay. How's my hair?
-
Alright, I call this next one ...
-
It takes a little re-centering, "The dying witch."
-
I call this one "The dying witch." (strong inhale with wheezing)
-
- (laughs) - (strong inhale with wheezing continues)
-
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Level 11:
-
Feeling like I could punch a hole in the wall at a hotel.
-
- (laughs) That's somebody else's property. - Yeah. Property damage.
-
- Yeah, see? - I could be charged for that.
-
- Okay. Okay. - How did ...
-
- What did she die of? - Asphyxiation, I guess.
-
I don't know. (laughs) Alright, the last one I like to call
-
- "Total loss of mouth control." - I can anticipate where this is going
-
- to be. - (rapid slapping tongue and lips)
-
(laughs) I hate this. I don't hate you,
-
- I hate what you're doing. - Can't control my mouth.
-
- I hate the sound you're making. - (rapid slapping tongue and lips continues)
-
That does it. Level 12: Feeling like my anger level is Over 9000.
-
- So now when we go back ... - Now can you get back to the base line of
-
- trail mix. - (chewing)
-
- Still very unpleasant. - Hm.
-
But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm gonna say ...
-
- You're moving it down? - I'm gonna go ...
-
This is gonna be a level five baseline: Feeling like I can't find the remote.
-
Well, thanks for enduring that. Thank you for enduring that,
-
