Do the hosts think they’re smart and why does it matter?
Clint,
would you consider yourself smart? Yep. Would you consider producer Claudia smart? Yep. Oh, thanks. Would you consider me smart?
Yep, I would.
Neil had more conviction behind it than when he said yes about me. No, I feel like it was the same. You guys
are so insecure, okay? It's
because of
you. No, it's
not. We think you're smart too, Clint. I think you're both smart,
successful.
He doesn't care about our pin. Independent.
Hotties.
Nice. Happy with that? That was weird. I've got a piece of audio where this guy talks about three traits that he believes all smart people have. And I thought we could go through them together. People listening, you can see if you have maybe one, maybe two, maybe you've got all three.
If you're in the car with your partner, you could tick off their list right
now too. Yes, and be honest. Be honest. So don't do what Clint just did. Be honest. I was being honest. I'm just kidding. I'm joking. Okay, are we ready for the first one? Yep.
Number one shows so much about a person, yet I don't really hear anyone talking about this. Very smart people are very spatially aware. They almost have a 3D view of themselves at all times, like a bird's eye view of themselves. They're not standing in places where people need to get by. They're not taking up the whole sidewalk. They're good drivers just because they know what's going on around them.
What are you rolling your eyes at?
What is the first trait of intelligent people – spatial awareness?
I don't have that one.
Do you think you don't?
No, I've been described sometimes as a bit of a baby giraffe.
Is this from your wife?
Yeah.
Well, I feel like she knows you best.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not a small man, put it that way, and I have been known to knock things over.
So you're just a big dummy. I think about people, you know, that stand in the middle of a bloody footpath when there's people trying to, you know. Okay, I don't do that. Or they're getting in the way of people and they just have no spatial awareness for anyone else. Okay. God, those people annoy me.
Okay, I'll give myself 0.5 then.
Okay.
Yeah.
You? I think I'm pretty spatially aware. Yeah, I definitely am.
All right, number two.
Number two, if someone is quick-witted, they are a smart person. And if they're quick-witted and funny, they're even a smarter person because being funny is extremely hard. You have to understand people's emotions, timing, and the quick-witted part of it, your brain is just working faster than others.
Yeah, I'm Craig up.
Okay, rate yourself.
You laughed.
What's the difference between being quick-witted and funny?
What's the difference?
Yeah. The speed, right?
You can be quick-witted without being funny. You could be quick-witted in a mean way.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, I feel like being quick-witted is when you're really fast funny. That's what I think of when I think of someone who's quick-witted. You know who's the most quick-witted person I think I've ever met? Clint just pointed at himself.
How can you tell if someone is truly spatially aware in everyday life?
Claudia's pointing at herself.
Probably me. No, it's going to be me. Okay, give
a compliment to someone that's not in the room. Go on.
You'll agree with me once I say it. Is Keita Mean the drag queen? Oh, yes. Oh, my God. How quick-witted is she? And spatially aware with
those enormous bazookas
as well. So spatially
aware. Okay, number three.
And then the last one is very misunderstood. Very smart people don't use all these big words. Smart people dumb things down for the average person and they can take very complex subjects and explain them to someone who isn't that smart. I just want a replay of Clint's face when he heard the third one.
Well, that is good and I agree a lot.
I would describe you as someone who uses big fancy words. You would describe yourself as that too.
I enjoy the English language to the best of my abilities.
Me?
Me? Use not many words. What a dumb list.
Me thought I was quite dumb. Turn out, me smart.
