Gen X vs Boomers (Who's The Smartest?)

Can we teach a 90 year old how to use TikTok? Let's talk about that. ((Intro Music)). Good Mythical Morning. If you're the kind of person who laughs at older folk, who have trouble keeping up with the breakneck speed of. modern day society, well, I demand that you check yourself. before you wreck yourself! Yeah, these are the people that gave us a roof and food. when we could only offer them dirty diapers and tears! We should be more grateful, which is why today,

you will not hear one single complaint from us! As we help a few of our elders face the technical. difficulties posed by the modern times we live in. It's time for Gen Z Tricks vs Geriatrics. Welcome to the Aging Like Fine Wine Zone. Let's meet our panel of elders. Please introduce yourself and tell us how old you are. Good morning, my name is Darryl, 63. - [Link] Oh, nice. My name is Mel, 74.

- [Rhett] Oh. Hi, I'm Gloria, and I'm 89. - [Link] Okay. I'm Helen, and I'm going to be 92 next month. - [Link] Good gracious! I would not have guessed. Span of the decades here. None of you guys would have been that old, except, I guess it's up for you, Daryl, because you're kind. of actually young in my book. Yeah. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Okay, Rhett, since you're older, you'll be picking. a task from our Old School New Tricks board first. Okay, I'm gonna go for the gusto out of the gate.

I'm going screen time for 30. Whoa. Well, 40 would be gusto. - [Stevie] Send a voice message to Rhett in which you. tell him your favorite Timothée Chalamet movie. Now, Rhett, you get a chance here to choose the elder who's. going to be doing this task. And remember, if they're successful, you'll. receive bonus points based on their age. So, 60 points if they're in their 60s, and so on. Okay.

Let's not get too crazy. I'm gonna go with Mel, who's in his 70s. - [Stevie] Okay. Your 60 seconds starts now. Okay, Mel, I should be in that phone as a contact, so go to. the text, application. You see that? - [Link] Mel? - [Rhett] It's a green, it's a green square with a little, white bubble in it. We good? We good, Mel? Nope. ((Laughing)). Okay, like if you were to send a text, whatever you.

would do to send a text, do you have an iPhone? ((Laughing)). Alright, you should be. Okay, where, just tell me what you're doing. Where are you at? What are you seeing on the phone? A recent, text. - [Rhett] Okay. So, I have here one, eight, one, eight, [BLEEP]. - [Rhett] No, no, so, now, so, so, go to the text and then go, start to send and. then start typing my name in the send field, R-H-E-T-T. I should come up.

He looks warm. - [Stevie] And time. R-H-E-T-T. - [Link] There you go. There you go. Okay. Alright. Now, there should be a little. - [Stevie] Yeah, see it through. See it through to completion. There should be a little thing where you can, in the text. field, instead of typing, you can, it's, there's. a little icon that looks like, I don't know what it. looks like, but if you press on it, you can record you. saying something and it'll send an audio message to me.

- [Stevie] Oh, we are so, so far from it. ((Laughing)). I don't even know how to do this. What's your favorite Timothée Chalamet movie? I don't have a favorite. ((Laughing)). He loves them all. Okay, so even if we had gotten there, he. doesn't have a favorite. So, I mean, I couldn't have gotten the points anyway. Mel, Mel, you did great. You did great, though. You did great. - [Rhett] One minute, I couldn't do that in a minute. Stevie. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] It appears, Mel, are you FaceTiming Rhett right now? ((Laughing)).

- [Rhett] Oh, yeah. Are you there, Rhett? Yeah. ((Laughing)). Hey, Mel. Hi, I like your hair. ((Laughing)). You get him on FaceTime and he's, he's a chatty cat. ((Laughing)). We get points for that, right? I'll give him a point for that. I'll give you one point for that. - [Stevie] Okay, Link, it's your turn to choose the next box.

- [Link] Okay. I'm a little intimidated by that exchange, but. I, I'm going to go with, Let's Get Physical for 30. - [Stevie] Your task is, get a drone to leave the ground. So, who would you like to choose to help you with this? When I say the word drone, I'm seeing if any eyes light up. - [Rhett] I know that, that's cheating. Okay, Gloria's tongue came out. ((Laughing)).

I was hoping they wouldn't call me. Alright, Darryl, I pick you. Oh, so we've got to get this drone to hover. - [Rhett] Inside this greenhouse. - [Link] In the greenhouse. This is for safety, I assume. I really appreciate this. - [Stevie] Okay, your time starts. now. Alright Darryl, pick that thing up and. take a look at it. Yeah, put your glasses on. Pick it up, don't be shy. And now just start pushing buttons. Push buttons. Push stuff. There you go.

Yes! Immediately! Yes! Yes! Yes! - Yes! - Look at that thing! Look at it! Yes! - [Link] Now, now, make the whole thing lift off the ground. ((Laughing)). Move it around. Have some fun with it. Move the joysticks. Move the other joysticks. Other way. - [Darryl] I can make it dance. - [Link] Other way. ((Laughing)). There we go. Go, baby, go. Oh! Look at that! Oh! Come on, look, he's so good at this, we don't need this.

((Laughing)). Yeah, Darryl! Yeah, get Helen! No, no, Helen will get out of the way. ((Laughing)). Stevie, grab it! Stevie, grab it! - [Darryl] Yeah, grab this! Stevie just knocked it out of the air like. it was a dragonfly. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] That hurt. Rhett, it is your turn to choose the next box.

Dang it man, you got those points. Okay, I'm using some strategy here. I'm gonna go things the kids say for 20. - [Stevie] You have just won an online video game match, and your. competitor messages you, GG. What do they mean? And for this one, you may not use any rhyming words. Who do you choose? I think I know what it means, but not based on experience, just based on context.

I'm going for it. Helen. - [Link] Ooh. - [Stevie] Your time starts now. Okay, just start saying things that the. acronym for them is GG. In the context of a video game. You just finished the video game. You might say? Great going. Hey! Okay, perfect. That's the kind of thing we need. More of that. Just more of that.

Good God. ((Laughing)). Can I say I think she has the first part right? I think you have the first part right. Good what? You're not really helping. You're making her do all the work. Yeah, that's the point. Good, good game. Yeah! That's right! Boom! Boom! That surprises you? I knew it. I saw it on Helen's face. No, I didn't know what GG stood for.

Yeah. Well, I figured it was good game. - [Link] GG, guys. GG. Okay, back to me, I presume? Great going, Helen. Well, I want to start to flirt with. some doohickies here. 30, Doohickies. - [Stevie] Identify this doohickey. Okay. Oh, okay. - [Stevie] And Link, for this category, you may not say anything. You may use your eyes to emote, if you wish.

Wow. Okay. - [Stevie] Who do you choose? Gloria, let's get in the game together, girl. Good game, girl. Gloria, 4Gs, for us. - [Stevie] Okay, give Gloria the doohickey. Oh. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Your time starts now. Now what do you want me to do?

- [Stevie] What is this? ((Laughing)). ((Laughing)). Yep, there you go. More of that. No. Try something different. - [Stevie] You have less than 30 seconds. Any guesses, Gloria, as to what this is? Gloria. Oh! ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Gloria, what do you think this object is called?

A doohickey. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] What do you think, someone would do with this object? Go crazy. ((Gasps)). Spin it around. - [Stevie] Oh? What? What did you say? Spin it around. Yes. - [Stevie] I think time's up, but I think that's a half point. It's a fidget spinner. You got to spin. Okay.

It's also an eyebrow stroker. Eyebrow stroker? - [Rhett] And it was a little pair of binoculars for a second there. I made eye contact with you right through that thing. - [Gloria] What's it called? Fidget spinner. It, it's, it was something that like four. years ago, maybe six years ago, it occupied. The children of that era. - [Rhett] Yeah. Well, okay. You know, they gotta, they gotta, they gotta. be doing something with their hands, you know? It was big during the pandemic. Why didn't I have these when my kids were little?

Well, you know what? - [Gloria] This would have been good. You can have that one. - [Link] Yeah. You earned it, Gloria. Hey, have you been playing the Think It and Sink It? Our daily GMM trivia game?

So I'm gonna get physical for 40. - [Stevie] Do the floss dance, and you may not do it yourself. Who do you choose?

- [Rhett] The floss dance. Gloria. I'm feeling good about Gloria. Oh, great. You look like you've danced a bit in your day. Yes. Yeah, see, I can tell. - [Stevie] Your time starts now. Okay. I can't show you, but I can tell you, I want you. to put one hand in front of you in the shape of a fist. Uh, lower, lower, like straighten your arm.

out all the way. Down. Yep. Now take the other hand and do the same thing in the back. Lower. Better hurry. Now I want you to start moving your hips side to side. ((Laughing)). And what I want you to do is I want you to act like. you basically got a piece of string that's connecting. your two hands and you're sort of like running. it through the middle, right between your legs. But your, but your, but your hips are going sideways.

and you've got that piece of floss that you're. holding with both hands. And it, and it's kind of, like, side to side, side, like lateral, lateral, like towards, no, no, no, the. other way, side to side, yep.

Yes! - [Link] No, not yes. I mean, come on! - [Stevie] I'm gonna give it to you!

Yes! Yeah, Gloria! - [Stevie] Go Gloria! Up high! Listen, I don't think that was. If you saw Gloria in the. club doing that, you'd be like, that lady's flossing! That's what you'd say! - [Stevie] Okay, Link. It's on you now. Alright, I'm gonna do Things Kids Say for 30. - [Stevie] Fill in the blank. Privately messaging someone on social media with the. intention of initiating courtship is called.

sliding into their blank. Okay, alright. - [Stevie] Choose your player. Well, I could win, Darryl, by choosing you, but I'm, I'm a little concerned that you've used all of. your energy with that drone. Mel seems to be quite intent on studying this. So, he's already thinking about the answer, which I like.

I'm gonna go with Mel. I know I don't have to, but no offense Darryl, we've had our moment. Yes, we did. - [Stevie] And you cannot use any rhyming words, and. your time starts now. All right, this is, these are, these are letters, okay? And it's two of them, alright? And it's, it's, oh gosh, it's a tight, are you on Instagram? Yes. Okay, and then when, you know, when, there's a, there's, when it's not public, how do you talk to people?

You can do it private. Yes, yes, and when you do that, you know what that's. called, it's two letters. Any two letters will do, for starters. Maybe just start saying two letters. Maybe start at the top of the alphabet. A. Okay, but skip that one. T. No, what's after A? B. And what's after B? - C. - And what's after C? D. That's the first letter! ((Laughing)).

Go later in the alphabet! - [Stevie] Ten seconds. - [Link] Just start naming letters. E. F. - [Link] Later, later, later, later, later, later. Keep going, keep going. - Say all the letters. - S. No, earlier. Yes. Earlier. Great. T. Yeah, earlier. P. Oh, later. - [Stevie] And time. Yes! It's earlier. Yes! It's a DM. Oh. ((Laughing)). It is a direct message. Oh, Mel said.

It's okay. - [Stevie] Oh, Link, I have bad news for you. You didn't pull off the win in the end. Darryl, did you know it was DM? No. ((Laughing)). - [Rhett] Okay. I would have probably figured it out with. the letters, though. Oh, yeah. My bad. - [Darryl] That would have helped me. I'm sorry, Darryl. - [Stevie] Rhett, you have won, your very own set of grandchildren. Bring them on out. Hi, Grandpa, Rhett. Is your social security number one? Yes, it is.
