How well does Gen Z really know themselves? – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) Good mythical morning. – You like TikTok, right? – I love it. – But do you understand it? – Very little of it. – Mm-hmm. Do you think if you were a Gen Zer, you would understand all of it? – Well, that is the question. That is the question that we will answer today. Because before we can even answer that question, we gonna have to play a game where we see how well Gen Zers know Gen Z. It’s time for on a scale of Gen Z to, like, Gen Z, how Gen Z are you? Joining us all the way from our zoomer zone. It’s our panel of Gen Z mythical crew members. – [Link] Look at those youngsters. (crew applauds) Look at ’em. – We’ve got Mikayla, Trevor, KG, and Sierra. So can you guys just go down the line and say what year you were born? – I was born in ’96, so I guess I’m old Gen Z. – Okay. – 1999. – Ooh. – ’99. – Ooh. – ’96. – Ooh. – Dang, y’all. – Can we talk about what we were doing in 1996? – Please. – Go for it. – Please. – No, we shouldn’t. All right, Stevie, what’s gonna happen? I’m simping to know. – [Stevie] Oh. (crew laughs) – No. – Hey, that felt very natural. – [KG] No. – [Stevie] Okay, boomers, take a look at the “if you know, you know” board of Gen Z trivia. – We’re not boomers. – [Stevie] You’ll each take turns choosing spots from the board, and once each question has been revealed, you’ll use your whiteboards to guess which members of the zoomer zone will answer correctly, if any. You’ll earn points for every panelist you guess correctly and you’ll lose points for incorrect guesses. But, Rhett and Link, you two will be answering the questions. In your case, correct answers will only earn you half of what the question’s worth. If you don’t know the answer, you won’t lose any points. – Good. – [Stevie] And the winner gets the honor of appealing- Appealing and appearing in a real life TikTok with a real life Gen Zer. – What? – Can we? – [Stevie] All for that Gen Z street cred. – Wow. – Thank you for that opportunity. – That sounds pretty lit. – Can I just say also, we have children. You’ve got three, I’ve got two. They’re all Gen Zers. So I feel like we’ve got a distinct advantage because we talk to our kids on a regular basis. We ask- – About whatever they wanna talk about. – We talk to them about all the things that they’re into. – Yeah. – We sit there and listen like this. “Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.” So we take it all in. So I got it right here. – [Stevie] Okay, well, let’s see. Before we begin, let’s reveal the categories on the Gen Z trivia board. We have who am I? We’ll show you an image and you’ll need to identify the person pictured. Behind the bops, music-related trivia. And of course, bops is what Gen Zers call music. – [Link] Mm-hmm. – [Stevie] Big screen, little screen, film and TV-related trivia. And littler screen. – [Rhett] Internet. – [Stevie] TikTok and gaming-related trivia. – [Rhett] Oh. – [Stevie] Internet, yes. – Gaming. – TikTok and gaming. – [Link] And Link, since you are marginally closer to being a Gen Zer, you get to pick our first question. – [Link] You know what? I’m gonna start with who am I for 300. – [Rhett] Whoa, come on. – All right, 200. – Okay. (crew laughs) You didn’t have to change it. – [Stevie] Who is this? – Who is that? Wow, she has her own aviary on her head. So I’m supposed to be able to… I should’ve been watching their faces. Crap. Because they’re over there writing and now they’re done. And I missed their reaction. Were you looking at their reaction? – Nope, I thought about it right at about- – I know. – … the same time that you said. – So… – But you know what? I think not only do I know Gen Zers, I think I know our Gen Zers. – Hmm. Mikayla is grinning from ear to ear. It’s like she can’t wait to show her answer. – I feel like I’m always ready, but okay. – Oh my gosh. Trevor’s cry laughing for no reason, which is his signature move. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He gets a lot of mileage outta that. – KG, is there some doubt in her eyes? Sierra is a locked box. (crew laughs) – [Rhett] Hold on. – Perhaps she’s never felt emotions. – Just so you understand, there’s quite a board that we’re dealing with. If you’re gonna take this long on every question, we’re gonna be here for an hour. – [Link] Okay, all right, I’m ready. – [Stevie] Okay, you guys locked in? Everybody’s locked in? – Yeah. – Yes. – Who did you vote for? – I said that Mikayla and KG would get this right and Trevor and Sierra would get it wrong. – That’s exactly what I said. It just took me a lot longer. – [Stevie] Okay, zoomers, let’s see it. – Kali Uchis, butterfly lady, Kali Uchis, butterfly girl. (crew laughs) Well, we’re either really good or really bad at this, ’cause I think we voted well. – Yeah, well, we both got that right. – Okay. – [Stevie] So this is Grammy award-winning singer of “Telepatia” and “After the Storm” Kali Uchis. – What? – Yeah. – Kali Uchis? – [Stevie] Kali Uchis. – That sounds like- – Yeah, you know, Kali Uchis. – What? (crew oohs and cheers) – Oh, nice. – How do you know that? – She’s a singer, man. She’s a singer. – Okay, well, I said Scary Spice’s daughter. (Link laughs) – Hey, that could be true. (points ding) – Is she? – I bet you Scary Spice’s daughter is doing some stuff. – What if she is? Is she? – No. – Little Scary. – Mikayla knows. So I knew more than Trevor and Sierra. – How do you know who that is? It’s a singer? – Yeah, she’s a singer. So, you know, as a committed DJ. – That’s true, you are a DJ. – In my bedroom. Yeah, you can laugh. – [Stevie] Okay, even though Link got that correct, Rhett, you get to pick the next spot. – Oh, thank you. I’ll take littler screen for 300. – [Stevie] Doesn’t littler look so weird? – [Link] Littler. – [Stevie] They had to tell me that’s littler. – Yeah, littler. – Yeah. – [Stevie] For how many, sorry? – Not a word. – 300. – [Stevie] 300. – Unless Link wants me to change it to 200. – Nope, I like 300. – Okay, 300. – [Stevie] How do you win in Fortnite? (crew laughs) How do you win in Fortnite? – See, I’m watching them more now, and they’re all… Everybody’s writing a lot, so I also wrote a lot. – Okay. – I think Trevor got this right. How could Trevor not get this right? That’s obvious he’s gonna get this one. I don’t think any of the other people got it right. – I said that they all got it right. Every single person got it right. – [Link] You think it’s just common knowledge? – I think this is a culture- I think I know the answer to this. – This could be a big swing. That’s a 300 point swing between me and you already just- – Okay. All right. – Actually, no, it’s 300 times… That’s a 900 point swing. – Oh, but if I’m right and you’re wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – No, isn’t it 300 per each person? Yeah. – Oh, really? – Yeah. – Wow. – So there’s a lot at stake here. – Okay. Oh, because it’s the question. Yeah, 300, yeah, all right. – [Stevie] All right, zoomers. – Okay. I said be the last player standing and get a victory or battle royale, which I think is correct, I don’t know. – Yeah, being the last alive, and then I just wrote number one victory royale for fun. – I said- – Was that fun? – Yeah, for me. – [Link] Okay. – I just said stay in the circle and kill everyone. – That’s technically correct, as well. – You don’t know. – Yeah, it is. That’s correct, ’cause you can’t get a circle and kill everyone and then be the last one alive. They’re all right and that’s what I said. I’ve swept it. Woo! – Yay! (crew applauds) – No. – Battle royale. – But that’s, hold on. Stevie was supposed to give the answer. – I know the answer. – I said- – I played once. – But I mentioned the cloud. I know there’s a cloud. (Trevor laughs) Don’t… What does that say? Don’t get in the cloud and be the last, so- – [Rhett] Well, you can be in the cloud as long as you- – [Link] Be the last. – Be the last is the only thing that really matters. You can go into the cloud, you just gotta come out of it. – [Stevie] Yeah, so Fortnite is a battle royale game, so to win you must be the last player standing, which I think everyone said to a certain extent. – [Link] Yeah. – [Stevie] I will point out saying you get the victory is also how you win any game. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for that, Steve. – [Stevie] So thank you. – So I didn’t get 900, I got 900 negative points here. Plus 300. – So that’s 600. – Leaving 600. Plus half is 150. – You got the question right. Whatever. – Y’all do the math. – [Stevie] We’ll do the math for you. It’s all good. Link, you get to choose next. – [Link] Okay, I choose behind the bops for 400. – Oh, come on. This is where you’re gonna roll away with it. – I hope so. – [Stevie] Why is BTS on hiatus? – Oh my gosh. Is this a trick question? Why is BTS on hiatus? Who would know that? I don’t know if they really like BTS. Okay. I don’t know why y’all wrote so much. Should be a simple answer. Are you doing that thing where you write a whole lot and hoping that somewhere in there is the right answer? No. Okay. – I believe in Mikayla. – Aww. – And I, well, as it relates to you know about BTS. – Enough. (crew laughs) – Okay, so what did you say? – I also believe in KG for this one. – [Rhett] Okay. – I do not believe in Trevor or Sierra at all. – What? (crew laughs) – I once again said that all you guys would get this. – Aw. – All you guys. Everybody gets this right. Not me, though. – [Stevie] All right, panel, let’s see it. Let’s go down the line ’cause there’s words. – Okay, I said because each member has to serve mandatory military time. – What? – They all said it. – Mandatory military service. – All seven. – AKA IRL Fortnite. – Ah. – Y’all all said that. – Yeah. – Mm-hmm. – Had to join the military. – Military, mm-hmm. – Are you serious? (crew laughs) – I had confidence in y’all. I didn’t have confidence in me because I said sprained ankle. (crew laughs) I mean, I just figured solo albums. I didn’t know they had pulled an Elvis. – I thought one of ’em had a sprained ankle, and maybe one of ’em does in the military. – [Stevie] Hey, guess what? The panel is all correct? (points ding) – Yeah! – [Stevie] They’re all serving in the military, ’cause in South Korea it’s mandatory between the ages of 18 and 30 years old for at least 18 months. – Wow. It’s like Elvis. – [Stevie] Yeah exactly, exactly. – I mean, I can relate to this. It’s like Elvis. – All right. – [Stevie] All right, Rhett, you’re up. – [Rhett] Hey, let’s see how small that screen- – [Link] This is hurting. – [Rhett] No, you know what? Let’s try a different category. Big screen, little screen for 300. – Okay, I like this. – [Stevie] What is the Netflix show “The Outer Banks” about? – Okay. (crew laughs) I’m learning something. Why is Mikayla laughing so much but not writing anything? – [Stevie] And to be clear, North Carolina boys, we need more than the location. – [Link] All right, who do you think knew, Rhett? – I’m sticking with my, I’m sticking to my guns. Everybody. – Did you see the look on Trevor’s face? – Shh! – [Rhett] I just think they’re all so smart. – And Sierra. – He’s still going. – Also with it. – He’s still writing. – [Mikayla] He’s still going. – I am still just believing in Mikayla and KG only. – Okay, that’s been working well for you. – I think this is where it’s gonna work. – [Stevie] All right. – Come on, Mikayla, you better know this. – I don’t, so I wrote kids searching for gold on the beach, but they’re all hot so they find it. – [Link] Yeah. (crew laughs) – Okay, so I said, okay, so there’s, like, these teens/young adults, and they find drugs or something, and it’s riddled with drama and romance, and there’s at least one hot dude. – Okay, that’s not- – That seems accurate. – That’s generalities. That’s not an answer. – I said North Carolina kids finding treasure with shell necklaces on. – Oh yeah. Uh-huh. See, we got two treasure, gold and treasure. – I just thought it was an apocalypse show. (crew laughs) – What’s wrong with y’all? – I’m feeling good about this. Teen relationships and treasure hunt. I do believe there’s a treasure component. – Okay, well, I was wrong, because I said it was everybody was right, but I just said it was teens in Outer Banks, NC, and then I put sex. – That’s all of ’em. (crew laughs) That’s all of ’em. That’s too general. – But sex. – That’s very general. – Okay. – Stevie. – [Stevie] The actual answer. “The Outer Banks” is about a group of teens on an island in North Carolina hunting for a treasure linked to one of their dad’s disappearances. – [Rhett] Okay, so we’ve got some treasure answers. – [Stevie] And so I think KG got it correct and Link got it correct. – And Mikayla. – [Stevie] Did Mikayla get it? – I said gold. – Mikayla said treasure. – [Link] She said searching for gold on the beach. – I said treasure but I wrote gold. Gold is treasure. – [Stevie] Is the treasure gold? I’m getting yes, the treasure’s gold? – I think she’s right. – [Stevie] But we have some… – Give it to her. – [Stevie] We’re split, but Rhett says give it to her. – Yeah, Link’s way in the hole here. – She said freaking searching for gold. Give me a break. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] I’ve never seen the show. I’m just consulting with the crew back here. – I learned that there was treasure involved, like, four days ago, actually. – How? ‘Cause your wife watches this show. – [Stevie] Did you study for this? – Oh, Christy watches all these teen drama shows. – I think this is more of a millennial watching “Outer-” I don’t know if this is, is this Gen Z? – Y’all too old for this? – I remember scrolling on Netflix and then reading the description of the show and thinking, “Wow, this sounds terrible.” – Mm-hmm. – Yeah, same. – Yeah. – [Stevie] I thought it was, like, the “One Tree Hill” of Gen Z. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] So, bad. – It was the “One Tree Hill” of “One Tree Hill” fans, i.e., my wife. – [Stevie] Yeah. Link, back to you, study boy. – Going back to behind the bops for 300. – [Stevie] Fill in the blank. “He say that I’m good enough grabbing my blank thinking ’bout ish that I shouldn’t’ve.” (crew laughs quietly) – I’m watching ’em. I’m watching them. “He say that I’m good enough grabbing my boop-boop thinking ’bout bweep that I shouldn’t’ve.” – [Rhett] Hmm. – While Rhett’s thinking, I just wanna let you know that if you wanna get our new bop, the updated “My Hair Goes” song exclusively on vinyl, well, you gotta be a third degree quarterly or annual member. Well, you gotta, if you’re not already a third degree member of the Mythical Society, you gotta join quarterly or annual plan by June 30th to get that thing, okay? MythicalSociety.com. – You want it. It’s sweet. – It’s got another original on it called “Relevant,” never before been released. And the old version of “My Hair,” as well. So you get it all. Who did you think? – I thought that the only person who got this right is KG. – Yeah, ’cause Mikayla was on the fence, but I could tell KG seemed like she knew. Trevor, Sierra, once again they’re just, you know, they’re just along for the ride. Mikayla I think is gonna come through for me with the right answer. – Okay, so you said Mikayla and KG again and I just said KG. – Yeah. – All right. – And I’m just hoping they’re right. – [Stevie] All right, let’s see it. – [Link] Mikayla? – I said- – Do-do-do? – Da-da-da, da-da-da. – Emotional- Hold on. – Da-da-da. – Oh, I misunderstood the question. I thought we were supposed to say the name of the artist. – [Stevie] Nope, there’s a- – Fill in the blank! – Fill in the blank! (Trevor laughs loudly) – [Stevie] There’s a blank in the lyric. – Usually when it says fill in the blank and then there’s a blank. – [KG] Yup, you can’t put that down, too, though. – [Mikayla] Yeah, we can write that down if you want that. – So, I mean, that’s okay. But, I mean, you said it would be Mikayla and KG and they’re both right. – And Sierra seems to have an agreement, too. – [Rhett] No, she says “ba-da-da.” – [Stevie] Well, okay, yeah, so let’s, can each of the Gen Zers read how you think you wrote what you wrote? – Da-da-da. – Emotional baggage. (Rhett and crew laugh) – Mine’s da-da-da. – Ba-da-da. – Okay, so we got a clear ba-da-da. What is it? – [Stevie] Okay, so the line comes from the hit song “Boy’s a Liar Part 2” by PinkPantheress and Ice Spice. The missing phrase was “tha-da-da.” – Tha-da-da? – Tha-da-da. – I had that! – Ooh, so no one’s right. – Tha-da-da. (vocalizes) – [Stevie] But- – Should’d’ve. – [Stevie] I think, yeah, I think that it, I think all of the da-da-das get it. – You think that’s close enough? – [Stevie] And emotional baggage- – [Rhett] What about emotional baggage? – [Stevie] Unfortunately does not count. – [Link] Emotional baggage does not- Sorry, Sierra. Sorry, I didn’t believe in you. – It’s okay. – Yeah. And I knew it was Ice Spice. – Oh, you knew it was Ice Spice. – But it didn’t give me anything. – Well, I understood the question. I understood the question was fill in the blank, and I said seat belt. (points ding) (crew laughs) This generation, you know what? You can say a lot of things about Gen Zers, but they all wear their seat belts. – Yeah, they do. – You know, Gen Xers, sometimes they’re like, “I don’t need it. I’m tough.” Not Gen Zers. They know they gotta wear their seat belts. – Can I recover from this deficit? – I don’t know, man. You know what? – Go for 400 on something. – I’m gonna give you the opportunity to fully recover. I’m gonna give you enough opportunity to cover that spread. I’m gonna go to littler screen for 400. – [Link] Hmm, okay. – [Stevie] It all comes down to this. JaBria, are you smart? – That’s the question? – [Stevie] That’s the question. – [Link] JaBria, are you smart? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Is this a TikTok thing? – Mm-hmm. – KG, you need to work on your poker face. That’s better. (crew laughs quietly) JaBria, are you smart? (crew laughs) There’s nothing in my brain related to this. – Well, I’m almost certain this has just gotta be a TikTok that’s, you ask somebody this and then they say something. – Like, a kid named JaBria? – Yeah, and it’s a sound that’s being- – Saying something funny. – I know enough about the world to know that. – All right, I thought that Mikayla and KG would get it ’cause I always think they’re gonna get it. – Well, you know what? – But you know what? I also said I thought that Sierra was gonna get it. – Thank you, thank you. – Aw! – ‘Cause I learned my lesson with the da-da-das. – Okay, well- – The tha-da-das. (crew laughs) – I’ve caught the Mikayla and KG only bug because that’s what I said. KG and Mikayla got this one. Trevor looked a little bit lost. I couldn’t tell about Sierra. Trevor’s got a lot of emotional baggage. – Yeah, and he’s staying in his lane. – It’s really- (laughs) See, I knew it. – It keeps coming up. – I knew it, Trevor. (crew laughs) – JaBria, are you smart? Emotional baggage. (crew laughs) – All right, ladies, what did y’all do? – Yes. – Yes. – Yes? – Yes. – I love the fact that they all seem to agree and I voted for all three of them. – Yeah, that’s great. I just said Mikayla and KG. – But it wasn’t enough of a difference. – But I did say it’s a TikTok, and then I said, “You know it!” (crew laughs) – Did she just say yes? Is that correct? – Yes! – [Stevie] What did you guess, Link? – Belt! – Oh, oh, that’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. – [Stevie] Belt? Belt. – ‘Cause it’s about- – Belt. – It’s the seat belt, ’cause all the Gen Zers wear ’em. (points ding) – [Stevie] Belt. – Everybody’s wearing seat belts these days. – No, I’m… It’s another TikTok, I think, where someone says, “How you hold your pants up?” – Belt. – Belt. – Okay, well, that’s- – [Stevie] Okay. – Maybe it’s a Vine. – [Stevie] Let’s toss to JaBria herself to give the answer. – [Link] If she says belt- – JaBria, are you smart? – Yes! – Who is Shakespeare? – Oh, that’s my cousin! – Your cousin? – My cousin. – That ain’t your cousin, that’s my cousin. – That’s both of our cousins. – That’s both of our cousins now. Okay, good job, JaBria. – Okay, I have seen that guy talking to the kids. – I don’t think I won. – [Stevie] You did not, but Rhett- – I made up some. – [Stevie] You get to be in the real life TikTok with a real life Gen Zer. – Yes! – [Stevie] And you get that Gen Z street cred. – Yes! – [Link] Dang, y’all did a great job over there. – Thank you. – Thank you. – Thank you so much. – Thank you. – Being your age. – Thank you. – And nothing more. – And thank you for subscribing and clicking that bell. – Y’all wanna say you know what time it is? – You know what time it is. – Hi, my name is Olive.
