And according to a new study by a neuroscientist that's
going viral this song right here, Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg variations,
what is what they are calling the magic tune?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Apparently this song can instantly help you focus on anything.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Why didn't we know that sooner?

Speaker 4 (00:28):
I don't know that's true. I would have tried. I
wouldn't focus on anything if I listen to this song.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, you're a different story.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
They also found that the type of music that you
listen to can tell you everything about your personality. So
think about your favorite music's right now and we'll tell
you what it says about you as a person. Also,
text in four one oh six' one is just helping
you focus on the conversation right now.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I'm focused on you right now, ju below feel I.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Feel a lot more focused, and my add normally gets
the best to me. You know, I can't pay attention

Can focus on anything right now. I'm trying to focus
on you guys talking, but this music has me kind.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Of like, I don't know if you want.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Victoria's energy has got me not focusing as well.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I can that out.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Oh that's pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
All right, well I've had practice. Let's go over this
study and tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
What your favorite music says about you as a person.
If you're a Taylor Swift fan, so Swifties. The studies
suggests that Taylor Swift listeners demonstrate an unusually high capacity
for emotional projection. They tend to map their entire life
trajectories onto casual encounters, often planning weddings with Baris says

(01:35):
they've never spoken to.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Research shows that eighty seven percent of Swifties report crying
in the shower while also feeling stronger than ever. Okay,
says your coping mechanism may be posting cryptic yet poetic
killing tweets at two o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Okay, who you learn not to do that as you
get older.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
We're going over a new study by a neuroscientist that
says the type of music you listen to can tell
you everything about your personality. So think about what songs
are your favorite and what music you like the most,
and we'll tell you what it says about you, if
you like emo or pop punk, like my Chemical Romance
Blink one eighty two paramore.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Things like that.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Clinical data indicates that these individuals reached peak emotional development
around age sixteen.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
And elected to remain there. So a little bit emotionally stunting.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I guess I know my days where I like my emo.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
They display a heightened sensitivity to precipitation, frequently interpreting rain
as the sky understanding their pain.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
It's also a reason for people just to cry, Oh
it's rainy.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
It's even more emo.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
They have one thing in common with playlists. They usually
use titles such as nobody gets Me and That's fine
and things like that.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Laughing but I mean, I get it. I should read
my diary.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
They also said that the majority of the people they
talked to owned a pair of checkered vans.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, they're just away.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
And then like a music festival where there was like
an Emo person coming out or whatever, in the whole crowd,
it was checkered emo vans.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah, and they were just.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
I wanted to give them all hugs, but they look
like they're really going through it.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, that's not the point they want to stay.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
They're constantly going through it. Yeah, yeah, they don't ever
want to be not going through it.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Right.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
If your favorite music is eed M or rave music,
scrill x TSTO, diplo, things like that, it says that
studies show their resting heart rate.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
It sings permanently. Two one hundred and twenty eighth week erment.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
This was all right.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I enjoy that in Vegas they view hydration as not
only necessary but central to their identity, often carrying gallon
jugs labeled with motivational slogan.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Behavioral observations confirmed that their belief is that a warehouse
at four am represents the optimal environment for inner peace
in community.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
Hey been to a rave? That's not what I've never been.
I really feel like that should be on my list
of things out you should.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's fun.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
They look like so much fun.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
I feel like clubs and raves are different though, right, Like,
I've been to so many clubs, but a rave something.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
A little different, different culture, different vibe for sure.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
If your favorite music is country, Luke, Bryan Morgan, Wall
and Dolly Parton pretty much any artists at these days
because everybody switched the country.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
They say that these subjects are disproportionately linked to trucks,
wanning them, desiring them, or being haunted by relationships involving
them interesting. They demonstrate ritual behaviors such as slow dancing
and parking lots and crying at tailgates.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Lab studies showed that the phrase tractors running doubles as
both an invitation and a warning.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Who I listened to country music on my way to
work today. I feel the tractors, and then it left
me thirsty for whiskey. Whoa, So there's that side effect.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I feel like I don't really listen to country and
never really have, but I feel like if I did,
it would be bad.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I'd probably be drinking at six o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Yes, and I fantasize about being in like a wide
open space field ye, spinning around in a circle over head,
the sun goes.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Down and dogs are down.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
By my fat study, it says the type of music
you listen to says everything about you and your personality.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
If you listen to.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Hip hop or trap, participants exhibited heightened mained character syndrome
and this is my favorite too, So yeah, I can
agree entering rooms as it was filmed in cinematic slow motion. Yes,
despite frequent emotional instability, Yeah, absolutely, that's okay. They maintain
external appearances of invincibility by posting captions like stay Dangerous.

(05:26):
Instagram analysis reveals that most of their captions consist of
song lyrics with zero additional context.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
You don't need additional context.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
That is the only part I feel like that doesn't
kind of say about you too.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
I feel like the other ones are kind of pretty
spot on.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
What do you mean this is us?

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Other than that, you say more in your Instagram captions
than just a song lyric.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, well, I just don't write my social media anymore.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Well, somebody postings for me, and most of the time
when I read them, I'm like, I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Which is why you have that exactly.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
That's why I hold that because if I do say
the things that I do say, I get in trouble.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
So that's why I had to hire somebody to do
it for me.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
That was weird.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
That was called self awareness.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, thank you very much.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I write my own there novels and not everybody reads them,
but that's okay, my true emotion.
