  • - Funny you should mention Zack, Ned.

  • (laughing) - Ohhhh!

  • - You'd probably have great sex with his wife.

  • (all laughing)

  • - Yeah!

  • (elated music)

  • - So the Try Guys have a new show called Squad Wars,

  • where celebrity squads face off against each other.

  • - We just kind of assume that we're a good squad,

  • we never actually proved it.

  • - So we're gonna take a genetic compatibility test--

  • - To see if we actually truly are the ultimate squad.

  • I can say with confidence that we are not.

  • I don't need to spit in a vial to find that out.

  • (upbeat music) - We look at

  • your genetic composition,

  • and how it affects your neurochemistry.

  • And then we can actually predict

  • who's gonna be a good love relationship,

  • who's gonna be a good bromance,

  • because we look at your genes.

  • - Are we gonna find out if Zack and I are close friends,

  • or if maybe Eugene and I should have sex?

  • What do we find out here?

  • - Yeah, I could tell you those things.

  • (all laughing) - Wow!

  • - We had geneticists look under a microscope

  • so we could figure out your brain chemistry.

  • We look at genes like oxytocin, dopamine,

  • and we give a psychological profile test as well,

  • because relationships aren't just

  • about your pure, neurochemistry.

  • You're born a certain way biologically,

  • but then you're raised a certain way,

  • that also shapes your personality.

  • So Instant Chemistry needs two things from you.

  • First, we need you to take a

  • very detailed psychological test.

  • - Alright, time to take a test

  • to find out who's actually my friend.

  • - So these are questions of if you're in a relationship.

  • - I'm gonna answer them, thinking about my wife,

  • which would just be great.

  • - You are sitting together with

  • your partner watching a movie on TV.

  • You enjoy reaching out and touching,

  • whoa really getting into this quick.

  • - Obviously, almost certain, yes!

  • - Zack's one fellow that loves to cuddle.

  • - Absolutely, we're hanging out, touching.

  • - You get sweaty, you get tangled,

  • your arm falls asleep, I'll say possibly.

  • - You and your partner have taken a long weekend

  • together at a nearby resort.

  • - Guess we're rich now.

  • - You promptly step up and speak to the management

  • in an effort to upgrade.

  • - I would love for somebody else to handle confrontation.

  • - Yeah, but it's a resort, you pay money.

  • Almost certainly, yeah. - You're not doing it right,

  • if you're not getting free stuff.

  • - Possibly. - I'm done!

  • (trumpet blaring) - View the results of my

  • psychological profile.

  • - One of the things we looked at is

  • who is more of an alpha male,

  • and who is more of a submissive?

  • Two alpha males don't do well together.

  • They're competing with each other so much,

  • and they don't get stuff done.

  • If I had to ask the four of you

  • to pick just one person who you think

  • would be your best friend,

  • if you were stuck on a desert island for a weekend,

  • who would it be with?

  • - Ned won't cooperate with me,

  • but together we will get the most stuff done.

  • Keith would get along the nicest.

  • - Okay, interesting, and who would you choose?

  • - Yeah, I would also choose Keith.

  • Zack would find, like, issues,

  • I would get so (laughing) frustrated.

  • - So what I'm going to reveal to you,

  • (all laughing) Eugene and Ned come out

  • the highest alpha males.

  • (air whooshing)

  • And Keith and Zack come out as submissive.

  • (air whooshing)

  • Generally, submissive males get along

  • with alphas very very well.

  • Eugene, even though you said,

  • that if you were stuck on a desert island,

  • it was Ned that you'd want to be with,

  • the truth is you guys wouldn't survive

  • cause you'd get nothing done.

  • Another part of the psychology test is intimacy.

  • You need to be open, honest, and vulnerable, right?

  • So, what I found is, three of you

  • are really predisposed to be able

  • to have intimacy very easily,

  • (all laughing) emotional intimacy.

  • - [Zack] I wonder who that fourth person is.

  • - (laughing) Who do you think that fourth

  • could be, who's a little more reserved?

  • Ah, what I learned about your psychological profile

  • is you actually really crave closeness,

  • and you desire intimacy,

  • but you're really reserved and afraid to open up.

  • - No, no, nooo. (laughing)

  • - Eugene, I never knew.

  • (all talking at once)

  • - You just want us to love you.

  • - Three of you are also, really completely social animals.

  • You love social activity, you love social interactions.

  • You're open, you're out there,

  • you wanna engage with other people.

  • One of you is a little like that,

  • but really really values time alone.

  • - I like one day where I don't have to talk to people.

  • - I hate being alone.

  • - I also don't like being alone.

  • - It actually came out Eugene, (air whooshing)

  • so, social to a point, but really value

  • your alone time, it really matters.

  • - Zack, maybe you're just alone on Sundays by default.

  • (all laughing)

  • The other thing we look at when we look

  • at you psychologically, is we look at

  • your ability to be social,

  • and care about each other's feelings as you're doing stuff.

  • And, again, three of you highly value cooperation

  • and social harmony but,

  • one of you,

  • kinda forceful and aggressive, (all laughing)

  • desires not to please other people,

  • but prefers to lead, (all laughing)

  • and not afraid of confrontation.

  • (all laughing) - It's the same guy.

  • - You're wrong. - Oh really?

  • - It's Ned. (cheering and laughing)

  • - You said "I think I'd prefer him

  • on the desert island,

  • except he'd frustrate me too much", right?

  • - Oh. - So you're not caring

  • too much-- - Yeah it's your problem.

  • - About people's feelings,

  • cause you're so frustrated,

  • and you just wanna lead and go forward.

  • - Oh no. - Whereas the others

  • are more concerned with social harmony.

  • So even if their idea is not the best way--

  • - Oh yeah, oh yeah! - They might take it.

  • - If it's not the best idea, why are we doing it?

  • - Exactly.

  • - You have a new color of red in your face.

  • (laughing) - We are just having

  • the best of times, what's next?

  • - Let's start to look at your neurochemistry

  • from a biological level.

  • We need you to spit into a test tube.

  • - We're going to spit in a tube.

  • - For science.

  • - This is a lot of instructions for spitting in a tube.

  • - For collection of human DNA.

  • Is this going to the government?

  • - As a scientist, shit.

  • (throat clearing) Please look away.

  • - Okay, so I'm gonna spit, until it gets to this line.

  • - I missed with my liquid.

  • Seems to be a recurring theme for me.

  • - Did I give too much?

  • - Oof, now that's way too much.

  • - [Cameraman] Keith, no!

  • - I was just gonna take a little of it back.

  • - Apparently I have a very wet mouth.

  • - Put this in until it clicks real loud.

  • (lid clicking)

  • (lid clicking) - We're in.

  • - It just added the science liquid to my spit.

  • It's blue now.

  • - I wonder what this is?

  • - And now I shake it for five seconds.

  • One,

  • Two.

  • - Shake the spit. - [Zack] Three.

  • - Shake the spit. - [Zack] Four, five.

  • Smells like science.

  • - Now we're gonna send it off to a lab,

  • and see who we're the most compatible with.

  • - First gene we look at is oxytocin,

  • the bonding hormone.

  • We're looking at who's a thinker,

  • and who's a listener.

  • What listeners are really good at, is interpreting emotions.

  • Whereas the thinkers are better at decisive action.

  • - Just charge into the breach, don't give a fuck.

  • - And we found out that two of you are thinkers,

  • and two of you are listeners.

  • Ned, and Keith, the thinkers. (air whooshing)

  • Eugene and Zack, the listeners.

  • (air whooshing)

  • - Makes sense. - And Eugene and Zack

  • probably think that these guys aren't listening to you.

  • - We think we're good listeners, but we're actually not?

  • - No, you are actually listening to them.

  • - No, we are listening, it's just we've heard

  • your argument for the last hour and we're tired of it.

  • - Exactly! - Lot of emotions,

  • I'm very conflicted.

  • I just wanna find love here.

  • - So, the next gene we wanna look at,

  • is the dopamine receptor D4,

  • and it has to do with motivation, attention,

  • learning, and I found something really interesting

  • in your guys's genetic profile here.

  • The 7R+ gene only makes up less than 30% of the population.

  • Highly represented in CEOs and high-ranking executives.

  • Uh, Ned, Keith and Zack,

  • all have the Explorer 7R+ dopamine gene.

  • - We're rare? - [Dr. Wendy] You're rare!

  • - We're the minority? (all laughing)

  • - That's not cause we're white,

  • straight males, though, right?

  • - No, we didn't look at the genes surrounding race.

  • - We're a minority! - Crazy.

  • - White, straight men being CEOs, crazy.

  • - I think you're a good balance to all of them

  • because it makes you very judicious,

  • and very prudent, and more careful.

  • These guys are gonna more likely charge forward,

  • and you're gonna go "whoa whoa whoa,

  • we'll get killed doing that".

  • - [Keith] You are always the person right before we shoot

  • to be like "is this the best way we could do this?"

  • - Because you're surrounded by another alpha male,

  • actually Ned, that's making you a little more dominant

  • than you normally would,

  • or that's normally more comfortable to you.

  • You know, because genetically, that's not how you're wired.

  • - Grew up with two alpha sisters,

  • and I was always the judicious one.

  • - Sometimes, you run with the dogs you might get bit.

  • (cheering) (laughing)

  • - We also looked at another kind of dopamine gene.

  • We look at the warrior, the fighter right?

  • Versus the worrier.

  • So the warrior tends to be highly highly creative,

  • but really lousy at multitasking.

  • The worrier, a hard time dealing with anxiety,

  • and gets more pleasure out of life.

  • So where do you think you guys land?

  • - Gosh, I think I'm really creative,

  • and I worry all the time.

  • - Generally, when I work on a project,

  • nothing else matters.

  • - Warrior sounds cooler,

  • so certainly we all wanna be that one.

  • - Worriers have more enjoyment in life.

  • - [Eugene] Are we evenly divided, two and two?

  • - [Zack] It's two and two? - You all have the same.

  • (gasps) - Are we all fighters?

  • - I think we're all fighters.

  • - You're all warriors. - [All] Yeah!

  • - [Dr. Wendy] You guys are all lousy, lousy multitaskers.

  • - That's why we have four Try Guys.

  • (laughing) - The next gene,

  • is my absolute favorite.

  • This test can actually predict hot passionate sex

  • that will last a really long time.

  • So, listen to this, back in our anthropological past,

  • when you were out mating in the environment,

  • you wanted to find somebody who had

  • a very different immune system than you,

  • because, when two people mate,

  • they might take brown eyes from one,

  • long legs from another,

  • poorer eyesight from one, et cetera.

  • (laughing) Except immune systems.

  • They actually combine, and make a stronger human being.

  • There's been some research in same-sex

  • platonic friendships that show

  • that you want immune systems to be similar.

  • So you smell like each other's brothers!

  • - Yeah, that'd be distracting

  • if I'm always trying to fuck Zack.

  • - [Dr. Wendy] Yeah it would be.

  • - Yes, it would be, Ned.

  • - Um, funny you should mention Zack, Ned.

  • (gasps) - Ohhh!

  • (laughing) You have an 80% similarity

  • in your immune systems. (air whooshing)

  • - [Ned] Ohh, so we're brothers!

  • - So your wife would probably be super attracted to me.

  • (record scratching) - [Dr. Wendy] Exactly!

  • (laughing) At least for sex, yes.

  • You'd probably have great sex with his wife.

  • (laughing)

  • - [Zack] Yeah!

  • - [Dr. Wendy] So if it's about hot sex,

  • I wanna choose the most disparate

  • or different immune systems,

  • and that would be Eugene and Keith.

  • (air whooshing) - So we would fuck

  • each other like hard?

  • There is a lot of sexual tension here.

  • He denies it, that's only the more proof.

  • - Looking at all of the genes,

  • looking at your psychological test,

  • I can tell you who the most compatible are,

  • and who the absolute least compatible are.

  • Least compatible are, not surprisingly,

  • sitting the furthest away from each other, Ned and Eugene.

  • (air whooshing) - [Together] No!

  • - Is it cause we're both too dominant?

  • - Yes, and your relationship could actually

  • benefit from the two of you softening

  • your need for dominance. - [All] Aww.

  • - Sometimes, like-- - Shut the fuck up.

  • (laughing) - There are two people here,

  • who are most compatible.

  • - [Keith] I think I'm the most compatible with Zack.

  • - [Zack] Keith and I are actually in love.

  • - [Eugene] Keith and I are most compatible

  • when it comes to sociability.

  • - [Ned] Zack's kinda my boy though.

  • - [Zack] What a good guy Ned is.

  • - [Eugene] Zack and I have already given up on humanity.

  • - [Keith] I'd fuck the hell outta Ned.

  • - The most compatible couple here,

  • could have a long, long, healthy, happy relationship.

  • And we can predict, with more than 80% reliability,

  • that you'll be friends for years and years and years.

  • Ned and Zack. - [Ned] Ohh!

  • Me and Zack, ohh Zack!

  • - The degree of compatibility we see psychologically

  • we only see, usually, in really long-term married couples.

  • - We could be married! (laughing)

  • - No!

  • I'm Ned's wife now.

  • - I guess I'm right, I am the dead body on the island.

  • - You're the one that keeps us together.

  • - You don't have an extreme to make it a match

  • with anybody, you just get along with everybody.

  • - (whispering) They all think I'm their best friend.

  • - Biology is not destiny, neither is psychology.

  • It is the interaction of both,

  • and remember, our biggest environment

  • that affects our biology, are our close relationships.

  • - So you're saying, even though the genetics

  • tell us we should be compatible with one person,

  • we can choose to all be friends anyway.

  • - Don't try and force me out of that solution.

  • (all laughing) (elated music)

  • - Hey, thanks for watching this video.

  • If you like this and are hungry for more,

  • check out Squad Wars, you can get it for 30 days for free!

  • This week, Ned and I join up with two squads

  • to become professional wrestlers.

  • And, we almost die.

  • - All I learned today is that Zack

  • secretly wants Ned's wife.

  • - What is going on here? (laughing)

  • - That wasn't the takeaway from me.

- Funny you should mention Zack, Ned.
