  • - Can you stand up for me? - Yeah.

  • - Now.

  • - Do I need to stand somewhere special?

  • - Just right there is fine.

  • - I want you to put your feet together.

  • Heels and toes like this.

  • Hands down at your side, okay?

  • And I want you to stay there, okay?

  • I'm gonna ask you to perform a one leg stand.

  • I'm gonna have you point your foot, your toe.

  • Go ahead and look at my foot.

  • Point your toe, look at your toe,

  • and count one 1,000, two 1,000,

  • three 1,000, four 1,000,

  • and continue on until I tell you to stop.

  • - Feet together, heels and toes,

  • hands down at your side.

  • Stare at your toe.

  • You may begin.

  • - One 1,000, two 1,000,

  • three 1,000, four 1,000,

  • five 1,000, six 1,000,

  • seven 1,000, eight 1,000,

  • nine 1,000.

  • - Can you point your toe, though, as you're doing it?

  • There you go.

  • - Do you want me to start over?

  • - No, just keep going. - One, oh, nope, eleven, one.

  • - That's good.

  • - Okay, thank you.

  • - Yep, you're fine.

  • - How 'bout you?

  • D'you understand the instructions?

  • - Yeah.

  • - Feet together, heels and toes,

  • hands down at your side.

  • You're gonna raise your foot,

  • whichever one you want, I don't care.

  • Point your toe, look down at your toe and count,

  • one 1,000, two 1,000,

  • three 1,000, four 1,000,

  • and so on.

  • It's a timed maneuver.

  • I'll tell you when to stop.

  • You may begin.

  • - 1,000 (laughs), 2,000,

  • you know what, I can't do it.

  • I'm not really good in balance.

  • - Oh, you're not good at (laughs).

  • - I'm really not. - Okay.

  • - Okay, one 1,000.

  • - Remember, hands at your sides.

  • Look at your toe though.

  • - Three 1,000.

  • - Look at your toe. - Oh.

  • Four 1,000, five 1,000,

  • six 1,000, seven 1,000,

  • eight 1,000, nine 1,000,

  • ten 1,000.

  • - You just wanna stop there?

  • (Brenden, Destiny and Jeff laugh)

  • Perfect, thank you.

  • All right, I think I've seen enough,

  • gathered enough evidence,

  • and my pick for who's stoned is Irene.

  • - [Crew Member] Will the person

  • who smoked today step forward?

  • (sad comical trumpeting) - Jeff.

  • - How ya doing?

  • - It was those damn shakes.

  • - Honestly, I am a shaker though.

  • I thought that was gonna, like, be a tell,

  • but like, that is just me.

  • So yeah, how's everything--

  • - Take your glasses off for me, come on now.

  • - Could you still tell with the glasses,

  • can you, would I, wow.

  • - Wow, I should have just called your name that way.

  • - Exactly. - God.

  • - Now that all the mumbles come out.

  • - Man. - That was good, wasn't it?

  • That was poker face. - Yeah, that was good.

  • - I don't even know how to play poker,

  • but that poker face was out there.

  • - Yeah, you should go play poker.

  • - But yeah, how's everything else?

  • - Well, your eyes are dark,

  • the color of your eyes are dark,

  • so I really can't tell unless I get up close.

  • The process for doing all this would have been more,

  • more human, what we call the stupid human tricks

  • or whatever you wanna call 'em.

  • If I was doing this in the field,

  • I'd take your blood pressure,

  • I'd take your body temperature,

  • I'd look in your eyes.

  • I'd look at the size of your eyes

  • and darkness compared to light.

  • I'm a little hobbled here when you're wearing glasses,

  • 'cause you do understand,

  • have you ever been arrested?

  • - No. - If you get arrested

  • and you're dealing with a cop like this,

  • the glasses come off (laughs).

  • - Right, no doubt about it.

  • - You don't get to sit there and go,

  • nah, I'ma leave 'em on.

  • But no, you tricked me.

  • You got me good,

  • you got me good. - Appreciate it, sir.

  • - Don't appreciate it,

  • you made me look like a fool Jeff (laughs).

  • - So the system can be wrong, huh?

  • - No, I can be wrong.

  • - See, that was my first time doing that.

  • I have anxiety (Jim laughs)

  • so that's why I didn't have my balance, you know?

  • - You failed that test.

  • - Yeah, I know, right?

  • - Incredibly, you failed that test.

  • You didn't follow instructions,

  • you couldn't keep your balance.

  • It's pretty easy.

  • I mean, people would say, oh, I can't keep my balance.

  • Well, I've got normally 30 extra pounds of stuff on.

  • - I know right?

  • Yeah, my balance is not so good at all.

  • - You tricked me.

  • And then your tongue has,

  • it looks like you've smoked.

  • - I had some candy in there.

  • - You don't smoke cigarettes?

  • - No.

  • - Interesting, okay.

  • Well again, I was hobbled by the glasses,

  • so I'm just gonna use that as my excuse.

  • - It does cover up the soul of humans, huh?

  • - It does, it does.

  • You know, the eyes are the windows to everything.

  • - I mean, I was nervous 'cause of your uniform,

  • but other than that, I'm good.

  • - People get nervous with the uniform.

  • - I know, right?

  • - Yeah, I put it on this morning, it scared me.

  • - I mean, I see, in south central,

  • I see you guys all the time.

  • It's like you guys-- - We're everywhere.

  • - practice over there or something (laughs).

  • In South Central. (Jim laughs)

  • - Hmm, all right.

  • - But thanks. - Thank you.

  • Sorry for falsely picking you.

  • - Oh, I'm good.

  • - As you can tell, we all make mistakes (laughs).

  • Don't do drugs.

  • (upbeat saxophone-led music)

- You know what, I can't do it.
