GMM 2784: Are We Dumber Than Teenagers?

Do we know anything about Gen Alpha? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Even though we’re from the illustrious Gen X, I feel like we generally have a good, well, good enough. Okay. Handle on what Millennials and Gen Z got going on. But Gen Alpha, they’re an enigma. But the sigma is an enigma. Well, it’s a mystery, something hard to figure out. No matter how mysterious they might be, we could still potentially beat them at their own trivia game. It’s time for On a Scale of Gen Alpha to Like Gen Alpha, How Gen Alpha Are You? Okay, boys, before we meet today’s new lineup of Gen Alpha contestants, please take a look at the new If You Know, You Know board of Gen Alpha Trivia. The categories are Who am I? We’ll show you an image and you’ll need to identify the person pictured. Behind the Bops, music related trivia. Gen-Alpha-Nary, defining Gen alpha slang. And a brand new category, What Do You Meme, which will be all about memes and internet references. Oh God. Let’s go ahead and find out who we have in the Alpha Zone. Hi, I’m Avery. Hi, I’m Brayden. Hi, I’m Rowan. Hi, I’m William. What’s up, guys? So, um, what, tell us your ages. I’m 13. I’m 15. I’m 13. I’m 13. Okay, no 14. In the house. Now, I know that you all had to skip school in order to be here today, but Link, in order to make you feel welcome, is dressing like a crossing guard. [laughter] So, if you– I’m like a, I’m like an urban hunter. If you need to be escorted around the set He knows all the hand motions. How, like, locked in, like, locked in to what’s going on in the world do you guys think you are? Like, let’s see, like, you know, are you keeping up with things? Yeah. Yeah, I think I’m pretty locked in. For the most part. I don’t even know what you mean by that. Is that alpha slang? I’m– no, I don’t know. I’m just saying that we’re, we don’t, like, this isn’t like crew members. We don’t, we’re gonna have to guess who’s gonna be right about this, and we don’t have a lot to go on. I mean, but they said they were locked in, but I don’t know what locked in means. So when they said yes, I’m like, uh, I don’t know how to apply it. Locked in, like, that’s a Gen X term. Okay, Link, since you lost the last time, you’re gonna pick the first question for you both and our Gen Alpha panel to answer. Okay, um, well, I’ll start with, who am I for 200? Oh, go for it. Who is this? Uh, okay. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Ha ha ha ha ha! I’m locked in. Okay, you’re, you’re, uh, you’re also writing down who you think on the Gen Alpha panel– Oh, yes. Might get this right. Oh, poker faces. So both your answers and who you think is gonna get it right. And the point system here is for every question your chosen alphas get right. You’ll receive the amount of points of the question. If they get it wrong, you’ll lose those points. If you get it right, you get half the points the question is worth. And just so you know what you’re playing for, the winner will get a skibbity toilet. Uh, which, of course, we all, we all understand, uh, what that means. Yep, yep, looking forward to that. I can’t tell if Rowan’s not listening, or if she’s just really not into what your jokes are. That’s Gen Alpha for ya. Okay. Okay, so Rhett and Link, you’re locked in. You have your answers. You have your Gen Alpha guesses. Gen Alpha, please go ahead and write down your answers. They are going to town. Look how studious they are. Mm hmm. Alright, looks like Gen Alpha is ready. Avery, why don’t you start us off? I got Kai Cenat. I also put Kai Cenat. Kai Cenat. I don’t know what this crazy guy is. Some crazy person. Okay, all right. Okay, well. Alright, Rhett and Link, what do we got? I said it was Kai Cenat. You said Senat. That’s how you say it, man. Oh, they said, okay. It is Senat. It is Senat. Alright, take note, y’all. And you thought that everyone would get it right. Yeah, I did. Alright. I said Kai Senat. Okay, that’s wrong. I know how to– That’s wrong. Senate. That’s wrong. He’s not a senator. But, and I, sorry William, but I just got the feeling that you were the only one that wasn’t gonna get this right. I mean, you can’t fault me because I was kinda right about you being wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we are off to a very strong start here. We gotta know who this guy is because, uh, he outranked us in the– Yeah, he was the number one influencer of 2024 according to Rolling Stone. Do you know who the number two was? All right, Rhett number two, uh, it’s your turn to pick your question. Uh, you say number two as in, uh, number two influencer? Yeah. Uh, I’m not gonna do anything behind the bops because Link, he listens to a lot of young folk music. So I’m not gonna, I’m surprised– I should’ve gone there first. I’m surprised he didn’t choose that. Uh, I’m gonna go Gen Alpha-Nary for 200. What does put the fries in the bag mean? Put the fries in the bag. Put the fries in the bag.

Um, I thought, I thought it meant please leave. Like get out of here, like take it to go. And I thought Avery and Rowan would get it. Um, it seems like Rowan knew what she was saying. I don’t, you know, I agree with you that it was Avery and Rowan, but I thought it was keep it on the down low. Put the fries in the bag, like, Hey, man. You got, you got your fries out in public? Put them in the bag. Right? Nobody agrees, so. So, yeah, so, AlphaZone, uh, have y’all heard this phrase before? Yeah. Yes, you have. Yeah. A couple of you have, okay. It means, uh, Shut up and do your job. Yeah, I kinda got it. You kinda got it. I will say, I’m gonna give it to Rowan. Because I felt the vibes. Uh, which is probably not a Gen Alpha thing to say. But I felt the vibes. Braden, you thought you knew. So we hate to break it to you. You don’t. And I also thought I knew. So I know how you feel right now. Okay, now we’re really getting into it. Link, you’re up next. I’m gonna go for Behind the Bops. No! And I’m gonna go for the big 400. Oh, God. What catchy song from the Mufasa movie went viral on TikTok? Looking for a song title here.

No, I don’t know what it means. But you know that it is this, you just don’t know what it means. Yeah. So are you guys just like repeating things to each other and you don’t know what anything means? What’s happening to your generation? I never really say it, I just see it. I mean, Avery, what does sigma even mean? I don’t even know. Really? Me neither, I used it earlier.

William, this is not an essay test. Alright, let’s go down the line one last time. Okay, I thought one was Bubblegum, but I don’t know the rest. I put, for the blue one, it’s Bubblegum. For the orange one, I guessed fish girl, and then I don’t know the pink one. It’s, Darwin is the fish, and Bubblegum is the blue one, but I forget the pink, the bunny. Uh, the, that cat is a big, fat, blue cat. Okay, alright. Um, the frog is, uh, very long legged and it’s orange somehow. Got sick. Uh, the pink bunny has missing teeth. I don’t know why. So, William, there’s a frog pictured here? Uh, it’s a fish. Oh. Oh, no. I mean, that’s an easy mistake to make. Tomorrow will be a better day for you, William.
