Are We Smarter Than Gen Z?

Can we out Gen Z Gen Z? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. There is so much to know and love. about Gen Z culture, and that's coming from a couple of guys who know basically everything. there is to know about it. That's right. We know Gen Z like the back of our deceptively young looking Gen X hands. So today, we're gonna once again show the world what it looks like to.

have zero percent brain rot. Period. Periodt. Period. Periodt. Period. Periodt. Period. It's time for, On a Scale of Gen Z To Like Gen Z, How Gen Z Are You? Part Four. Okay, boys, before we meet today's lineup of Gen Z crew, please take a look at the If You Know, You Know, board of Gen Z 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. Big Screen, Little Screen, on screen entertainment related trivia. Okay. And Gen Z-tionary. Gen Z in social media slang. Got it. Okay. And who do we have over here in the Zoomer Zone? It's Trevor, it's KG,

it's Mindy, and it's Dylan. Dylan. Yeah. Give it up. Give it up. Dylan. All official Gen Zers? Yeah. Yes. Sorry, I didn't share a question. Confused? You want my driver's license? Do you have a question, Dylan? No. Oh, that's just how your face looks? Yep. Okay. He's inquisitive. He's inquisitive. You know, stay curious. I like that. He looks like he might have a question.

There's nothing wrong with that. Rhett, since you lost. last time. Yeah I did, I'm planning on it again. For the second time. You're gonna pick that first question for both you and our Gen Z panel to answer. Go big or go home. Gen Z-tionary for three hundred. Whoa, crap. Why not? Why not? What does. face card mean? What does. face card mean? And before anyone on the Gen Z panel writes their answers,

just hold, Rhett and Link, you're going to both write your answers and mark on your whiteboards. which panelists you think will get this question right. Face card. Face card. For every question. your chosen Zoomers get right, you'll receive the amount of points of the question. And if they get it wrong, you 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 one thousand aura points. And I don't really know what that means.

Can I win? No. Face card? What does that mean? Okay, you two, let me know when you're locked in. All right, I'm ready. Okay, so, Zoomers, go ahead and write down your answers. Okay. Everybody is busy writing. Nobody looks like they're making something up like I was doing. But Dylan is concentrating very hard.

He knows we're watching him closely. KG is writing a novel. They're all writing a lot. This is not giving me any confidence in my. That hard to explain? Answer. Okay. KG was. You all locked in? Okay, Trevor, let's start over on your side. Okay, so the reason I wrote so long is I don't know exactly what a. good way to explain it is, but it's just like what someone's face looks like. Like if you see a photo of them and they look really good, that you'd be like, oh, my God, look at their face card here.

That's. Question mark. Mine is, it's what your face looks like. But if you're ugly, your face card declines. Yeah. So they agree, basically. Mindy? Similar too, I said, it's your beauty. And if your face card doesn't decline, it means you're hot. Okay. Dylan. I put, similarly, when you put your makeup on really good. That's similar, but not the same as the other three.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're trying to make it like it's the same answer, but it's not. Yeah, it's not. It's not, Dylan. Okay, this is the official definition I have. used on different social media platforms to mean that someone is and always. will be very attractive. Users post selfies with captions such as face card always valid, or face card never expired. Okay, Stevie, you're gonna have to be the judge of this. I said, very good looking person. Can I tell you my reasoning here? No. I mean, you wrote your answer.

That should cover it. I think that's what she said. She said. I think, according to my definition, it is correct. Yeah, but this is what I think it comes from. Okay? I'm a Gen Xer, so I'm speaking very logically. It might be difficult for you to follow along. When someone is a ten. Who are you talking to? Everyone younger than me, Stevie. When someone is a ten, on the scale of one to ten, they're hot, right? A ten. But what's higher value than a ten in a deck of cards is a face card. So that's even hotter than a ten.

That's where it comes from, right? A face card is a card. See, look? I'm getting snaps. I'm getting Gen Z snaps. They're not a Gen Z. Oh, I looked over at the panel. Literally no one's doing anything. Davin is. What? Not Gen Z. That's an interesting theory, but. I think I'm right. But also. I think when they say face card, they're talking about, like, a credit card. You're giving the origin, which is not pertinent.

Yeah, but it's consistent with what Stevie said. More so than what they said. The answer that you wrote down is correct. Okay, got it. Got it. Link. What are you hiding? I don't know. I'm not clear on why he's absolutely correct, though. Based on what. Are they not correct? The first line of my definition is used on different social media platforms. to mean that someone is and always. will be very attractive. But it's a picture. No. Of a person? It's a phrase. Used on social media platforms. Okay. If someone is a face card, they're liked. I mean, I thought it was a dating profile.

face pic, and I didn't think Dylan would get it. Now I see why you're protesting. so much. But. I would say, and the judges have already told me, everyone but Dylan did get it correct. on that side. Oh, sorry. Everyone but Dylan and Link got it correct. Okay. But it's okay, Link, you get to pick the next square. Dang, I actually did good for once. I'm not gonna get used to it.

I'm gonna go. Behind The. Bops. for one hundred. Gotta pull back a little bit. You've chosen a Gen Extra Spot. Yes! Will be about Gen X pop culture and worth double the points. Of course, if you're wrong, it will cost you double. In nineteen ninety-two, Bill Clinton played the saxophone on what late night talk show. Rhett and Link. We saw it. Write it down. We've talked about it on this show before. Gen Z, don't do anything, please.

All right. That was so fast. Okay. Go ahead and write down your answers, Gen Z. None of them were alive. None of them were alive at this time. None of them were born. None of them were born at this time. None of them had existed. Why did we become Bane? They did not exist at this point. Why?

Were they dead? Were they dead? They weren't. They just weren't alive. But they weren't dead. They weren't born. The old men from the Muppets. What? What'd you say? What? What'd you say? You couldn't hear me? He's angry today, isn't he? I'm a Gen Xer. I come with the heat. Okay, Trevor. I said The Tonight Show question mark? I said Tonight Show With Jay Leno?

More specifically wrong. I said Arsenio. Oh, dang. Mindy come in with the right answer. I said. Jay Leno. Y'all remember Jay Leno. Mindy, how did you know that? We didn't think any of y'all were gonna get it. You didn't either. How do you know this? I've seen YouTube clips. Yeah, there you go. Mindy. Our favorite. Okay. And, of course. It was Arsenio Hall. You're watching Arsenio clips.

Hey, give me a little. From the dog pound! That's what they would do. All right, Rhett, it's your turn to. Okay, back to you. Select. That was too easy for us. Big Screen, Little Screen for four hundred. Crap. What song is this person doing a viral TikTok dance to? What? This person. Davin. Oh, gosh. Looking, looking, looking.

Doctor Strange. Can we see that again? Replay. All right, loop it, loop it. Let's see it again. Davin, this is awesome. Hey, hey, hey. Awesome. I mean, were there actual clues in there? Probably not. Someone to send this to me.

They get associated with just randomness. There's one part that I think is giving me a clue. They don't make sense to these young people. They don't make sense. You know what I'm saying? Who would know? Besides Dylan, who doesn't. I mean. Dylan, show them the dance. Show them the dance. Of course not. We can give Dylan such a hard time. By we, I guess I mean me because. Yeah, don't drag me into this. He's our Wonderhole cameraman. He's a wonderful person.

Yeah. He. He's a great editor. over there. He's in his own world. Right. We put him in the in his own Wonderhole. He very rarely comes out of the Wonderhole. Precisely. And he's never talked about pop culture. I met his sister one time, and it was his girlfriend. No, why would you phrase it like that? You met his girlfriend. Didn't that happen? Yes. Well, I can explain what happened.

Dylan was crazy. But why? We met his girlfriend. and you thought it was his sister. No, but only cause he introduced. In your mind. You introduced her. You said sister at some point. No, because his dad was also there. Oh, your dad was there. And so you just assumed that. a man. and two younger people together are a family. Not everyone's a family. Not everyone has to be a family. Sometimes it's just. a father and son and a girlfriend. Okay? Okay.

Okay. You guys are locked in. Zoomers, go ahead and write down your answers. We're writing the song name, right? Yeah. Well, he seems confident. He asked a question, but he seemed like, because he had an answer. Song name and the artist. If you want to give a little extra, you know? Oh, really? If you want to give a little extra. But, yeah, I did ask just for the. song, so. I would appreciate it if it was related to the artist. What? if you could get points for artists.

They're keeping Gen Z secrets over there. Look at them giggling, and. Sometimes you find out what Gen Z-ers are laughing at, and then they tell you, and you're like. What? Yeah, they don't laugh at jokes. No, they don't like jokes. No. They don't like a structured joke. They don't like a setup and a punchline. They're like, no, no, we can't have both. I love a setup. We can't have both. That would make no sense. Tell a joke right now.

We've been doing that all day, KG. Keep up, KG. Where are the setups and the punchlines? I don't know. Sometimes you're the setup, sometimes you're the punchline. Okay, let's see it, Trevor. Every time. when I go over to you guys, I'm always like, Trevor, you know? And this time I was like, I said it twice. So I think the third time. it. You expect so much from me. That's okay. You're in your own little Wonderhole over there. Yeah. Giving y'all a hard time.

Well, here's the thing. I know this is wrong, but Espresso. by Sabrina Carpenter. I know it's wrong. All right. I don't know if I got the spelling correct, but Mamushi, Megan Thee Stallion with the Yuki Chibushi. Wow. I guessed the same thing, Mamushi. Also not sure if I spelled it right. Yeah, I don't know. Megan Thee Stallion. I used my only. Gen Z card. Guess by Charli XCX and Billie Eilish. That's a good song. Great song. Doesn't look good.

Well, I feel good that I guessed that KG and Mindy would be the. only ones to get it right. But I just said some Chappell Roan song. That's why I was hoping for maybe points for artists. I thought Trevor and Mindy would get it. Sorry, KG. Million Dollar Baby was best I could guess. I mean, what from. He did this. What is this from Mamushi? It's like this. I was waiting for this. Yeah. Star, star. I heard mumblings that this is a very artistic interpretation.

And, Davin, I'll let you know who said that after. the show, but indeed, this was to Mamushi by Megan Thee Stallion. That's tough. Oh my gosh. All right, so you got. credit. I got more points. For more than me on that one. I'm not good at knowing things, but I'm good at knowing our people. That's the problem, I am. All right, before, it's my go to guess, right? I mean. All right, before I do, I want to remind you, join the Mythical Society,

get the Mythical Beast Blanket. Rhett, grab this thing. Check it out. It is huge. It is snuggly. Look at that. It'll arrive to you right as it's getting cold. Taller than me.

That's right. Another classic Gen X-er sex joke. Unbelievable. The setup was me holding the blanket, and then the punchline was me talking about doing sex under the blanket. No, we got it. Because it makes babies. You guys know how that works? Yeah. Hey, talk to me when you get a big chungus joke. I didn't even like that. I'm going to go. with. Behind The Bops four hundred. Whose discography is made up of the albums Evolution,

Singular: Act One, and Emails I Can't Send? Is this the. complete discography? Yes. I think, no. Is there a singular? Maybe. They've been around long enough to have. This is an artistic interpretation. of the full discography. I'm coming up empty.

Wow. You don't know this? Will you know this? No. Of course. I was thinking, if you don't know it, you know, I'm not gonna know it. Emails I Can't Send. To Gen Z, do you guys even send emails? For work, yes? What's that? You know, they can't send. Okay. Okay. Okay, Zoomers. Write down your answers. A lot of. quick writing here.

Confident writing. Are these, like? No one's erasing. We're writing the right answers or we're writing the funny answers? Well, they don't try to be funny. It just happens. It just happens. It just happens. They're never funny on purpose, right? Is that how it works? What the? We can hear you? Hey, listen, here's the thing, KG. We just feel, we're just insecure that we're becoming less and less funny to a larger, growing part of the population, and it makes us feel like our sense of value will be diminished.

Oh my God. That's what's happening here. Have you tried getting on therapy Tok? Might help you feel better. I'm on stress Tok. It's a TikTok reference. So that's Gen Z. I'm ready, Stevie. Okay, Trevor. Sabrina, again. I believe. Again? Really? Sabrina? Sabrina got three albums? Did I spell her last name? Dang. I didn't know. I could be. I'm not confident. Oh, man.

Dylan, bring it. It's definitely none of those. It's obviously Eminem A.K.A. Slim Shady. Yeah. Dang, okay. Didn't happen. Eminem, notorious emailer. Yes. I don't know. I felt like it was a female vocalist. I said Camila Cabello, and I said KG and Mindy would get it. I thought that KG. Come on, girls. I thought that KG and Mindy would both come through again. But I thought it was. Lil Window Dressing XCX.

I love a little window dressing. Of course it is. Sabrina Carpenter. Yes! Could of used your previous answer to help me. Crap it. Crap it. Crap it. Okay, Rhett, back to you. Well, you know what? Let's keep it interesting. Who Am I, three hundred. Okay. Yeah, we can't do four hundreds. Who is this? Who. is that? And who is that with her? You ever seen those people in your life?

I don't. Probably. You know, probably, but I probably didn't register. It's a glamour shot. Who would know this? Okey dokey. All right, Zoomers, write down your answers. I mean, how could it take that wrong, long to write down the name of two? If it takes that wrong, it's probably.

wrong. I mean, really, what are they writing? They're being very descriptive. All right. Okay. Gracious. Let's see it. I'm with Dylan on this one. Whatever Dylan says, Trevor's taking as his answer. Well, Dylan, what's your answer? Should I say? Yeah. I'm sorry. I don't know. So you're with I'm sorry. I don't know? Yeah, say that about sums it up.

Mine's, hello, Christ, I'm about to sin again I said I love you to that man but I'm not feeling him, and then I be Michael Phelps all the brand deals that I'm swimming in. I don't know the name, but this is the song. That was, like, kind of my guess. I don't know their name, but they have a lyric that goes, I'm gonna sin again. Yes. The I'm gonna sin again girls. The sin again girls. Okay, so they're singers. What did you guys guess before I? Well, I thought Trevor and KG would get it for some reason,

I said Tik and Tok. The TikTok sisters. I can do the dance. Is he right? The taller one's Tok. I thought it was. besties having a wonderful time. Which was probably true. I mean, you can't prove it's not true. This is hip hop duo Flyana Boss. The lyrics you quoted are correct, but that was not the question. Nope.

That was asked. We're exalting up on that. We're all educated. Yeah. That was, three hundreds are too hard for us. I'm gonna back down to two hundred, and just try to get. something with Behind the Bops again. Fill in the blank, Chappell Roan's debut album is called. The Rise and Fall Of a blank, blank. I feel like, is this gonna require me? Like, I don't think the negative impact that I will experience in my life.

I don't think. it's worth it. to become good at this game. You know what I'm saying? I just feel like. Well, you're winning. Yeah, because you're doing so bad. Well. It's not because I'm doing good. And yet I'm still trying so hard. Okay, I'm locked in. I'm locked in. Okay. All right, Zoomers, write down your answers.

Deep sigh. I mean, they all. They all know and love her, right? Super popular. Dylan keeps erasing. He just wants it to be perfect. All right, let's see it. Midwest princess or midwestern princess. One of the two. I can't remember exactly, but. Midwest princess. Let's go. I put midwestern princess. It seems like midwest princess is the answer.

Wonderhole. Yeah, a little promo. There you go, Dylan. Hey, you know, now that we're doing the promo moment, give them the shoulder blade thing. The rise and fall. What is? Oh, yeah, but hold up the sign while you're doing it. Okay. Oh, crap. Well. I mean, I thought it was. of a preacher's daughter. I thought it was not a coal girl.

A cool girl. Cool girl. The answer is The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. But I'll give them midwestern too. Thanks. But the answer is Midwest. She's also a cool girl. Which means. that, Rhett, you have won one thousand aura points. Wow. I am so proud. I am so proud. I'm want to thank the panel for being here and putting up with Rhett's crap. this whole time.
