00:00Welcome to Battle of the Generations.
00:08I'm your host, Lilly Singh.
00:10And this is the Trivia Face-Off, where we don't just count the years.
00:13We count the money.
00:14Tonight, four trivia titans from across the country,
00:17each from a different generation, will go head-to-head
00:20for the chance to leave here with up to $25,000.
00:26Behind me is the vault, where all that money will be locked away.
00:30The more questions our trivia stars answer correctly,
00:32the more cash gets pumped into the vault.
00:35But just one contender will have a shot at winning it all.
00:39It's time to play Battle of the Generations.
01:00What's poppin', Canada?
01:02I'm Mikayla Couture.
01:03I'm a 22-year-old Gen Z from Toronto, Ontario.
01:08Now, the last time you saw me battle was for the crown for Canada's Drag Race, Season 5.
01:12However, we are here to become the trivia queen.
01:18Okay.
01:18I'm most known for splits, dips, doing the damn thing, and entertaining the masses.
01:25I mean, look at me, baby.
01:27I'm a typical Gen Z because besides my inhaler, I can't live without my fault.
01:32My strategy for this game is to distract these other generations with all this blitz and glam,
01:36and then, bam, hit that buzzer.
01:41I'm Michelle.
01:43I'm a millennial.
01:44I'm from Scarborough, Ontario, and I'm a South Asian sensation.
01:50I'm a social worker by day, but at night, I'm the biggest hype girl.
01:54The one and only MC Mishy P is what they call me, and I get the party started.
02:01Millennials are all about the hustle.
02:03I work three jobs.
02:05I got to bring in the dollar-dollar bill, yo.
02:07I'm hustling.
02:08These other generations got nothing on me.
02:10I'm spicy and sweet, and I'm hard to beat.
02:13I'm trying to get that dope.
02:18I am TJ.
02:20I am a 50-year-old Gen Xer living in Montreal.
02:23I work as a wellness counselor.
02:25I've got 30 years of trivia experience.
02:28I've traveled the world playing trivia, and I have won a couple of shows.
02:32I am going to cruise through this competition.
02:35I am totally still an 80s girl.
02:38My fashion icon?
02:40Of course, it's Madonna.
02:41I'm a Gen X material girl, but with credit card debt and obsession for collector's items.
02:46I am ready to cash this check and get that bag.
02:49That handbag.
02:50Hi, I'm John.
02:55I'm a 63-year-old boomer from Grand Myra, Nova Scotia.
02:59I'm a retired media studies teacher, and I'm loving every minute of retirement.
03:06Retirement has given me a lot of time to spend with my wife, my children, and my grandchildren.
03:11I enjoy playing pickleball every morning.
03:15I'm a huge trivia fan.
03:18I have been on trivia teams that have won all over the world, and this is my big opportunity.
03:24Boomers might not know everything about social media and the internet, but there are a lot
03:30of things that we do know.
03:31I'm here to prove that when you retire, you don't expire.
03:35What is up, y'all?
03:45Welcome to the Battle of the Generations arena.
03:48I am so excited you're here.
03:50I'm so excited you're here.
03:50I'm so excited you're here.
03:52I can't wait to get to know all of you.
03:54Gen Z.
03:55Hey.
03:56Looking fire.
03:57Oh, my God.
03:57Tell me again.
03:58Tell me again.
04:00Mikayla, welcome to the show.
04:02I really do have so much respect for drag queens and drag performances.
04:06Are you known for anything in particular?
04:08I'm known for my splits.
04:10No, you're not.
04:10Stop it.
04:11Do you want to see?
04:12Yeah.
04:12I want to see that.
04:13Can we see that?
04:14Please, please, please.
04:16I think I need our audience to give me a little something.
04:18Let's go.
04:20Let's go.
04:21Clap.
04:22Clap.
04:22Yes.
04:24Oh, look at the heels.
04:25Oh, oh, oh, oh.
04:27Oh, oh, oh, oh.
04:31Yeah.
04:33I am dead.
04:36Oh, my goodness.
04:39I didn't even do anything.
04:40I pulled a muscle.
04:41Are you okay?
04:42Baby, I'm always okay when you look this good.
04:46Talk to me about this competition, though.
04:49What do you think your strengths are going to be when it comes to trivia?
04:52I have hung around a whole bunch of different drag queens, and they're all old.
04:58So you feel like you'll be real comfortable when it comes to the older generations?
05:01Oh, for sure.
05:02I can't wait to put that to the test, although you've already won to me, honestly.
05:06That's incredible.
05:06That's incredible.
05:08Welcome to the show, millennials.
05:09Oh, what's up, millennials?
05:11What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up?
05:13What do you do for a living?
05:14By day, I'm a social worker, and I love helping marginalized communities, especially women of color.
05:20Yes, sister.
05:23By night, though, I'm the biggest hype girl.
05:25You know, MC, Missy P, master of ceremony.
05:29I start the party, so are you ready?
05:31Okay.
05:33It's got a bunch of performers in the house.
05:35I love it.
05:36One thing is, people say, I look like you, Lily.
05:38Like me?
05:39Yeah, for real.
05:40Yeah, exactly.
05:41And I'm just like, superwoman, Lily.
05:43That's a compliment to me.
05:45Exactly.
05:45You know, you and our boomer thought in the dressing room, I was you.
05:48I see.
05:49I thought it was you.
05:51Oh, welcome to the show.
05:52Good luck.
05:54XTJ.
05:55Lily.
05:55Welcome.
05:56How do you feel?
05:57I'm really nervous following that.
05:59Rick, don't be.
06:00Now, here's the thing.
06:01I don't actually think you should be nervous, because I heard you take trivia quite seriously.
06:06I do.
06:06I've been doing trivia for at least 20 years.
06:09My husband and I cruise for trivia.
06:12Actually, we had a cruise booked in February, but we weren't sure there was enough trivia,
06:16so we canceled it.
06:17You canceled the cruise because there wasn't enough trivia.
06:20You know, it's what we do.
06:22Okay.
06:23There's a chance you could walk out of here with $25,000 today.
06:26That's the plan, Lily.
06:27What are you going to do with that money?
06:28I think I need some new shoes, or a new purse, or a new something.
06:32How many shoes do you have?
06:34At least 50 to 80 pairs.
06:36Oh.
06:37Okay.
06:38Wow.
06:38Well, best of luck.
06:39We're happy to have you here.
06:41Boomer.
06:41Hey.
06:41John.
06:42Hey.
06:42Welcome.
06:44You excited?
06:44This is a lifelong dream for me to be on a trivia game show all my life.
06:51We're so happy.
06:52Your dream is coming true.
06:53Yes.
06:53That's what we do.
06:53Yes, I know.
06:54It is.
06:55I don't care how far I get in this game.
06:57I have won because I'm here and playing Battle of the Generations.
07:03You know what?
07:03This is the energy of someone who never had to compete for a job, like our younger generation.
07:07That's what that is.
07:08That's what that is right there.
07:09Well, I am a retired teacher, and I got to tell you, spending time with these ladies,
07:15I feel like I'm the chaperone at the prom.
07:17Oh, really?
07:18What did you teach?
07:19I taught media studies.
07:21Like, I taught all of these generations.
07:23So, I feel like, you know, I had to get to know their world.
07:27Okay.
07:27What are your strengths and weaknesses going to be?
07:29Movies are something that I can do in all generations.
07:34But the weakness is the Gen Z because, first of all, they keep everything on the down low.
07:41Yeah.
07:41Very secret.
07:43Social media.
07:43I don't know where they are.
07:44You know what I love about boomers?
07:46It's like they don't even need to elaborate.
07:47Every answer is like, you know, social media.
07:50Social media.
07:51Just social media.
07:52I don't know.
07:53I love it.
07:54We're cheering you on.
07:55We're so happy you're here, John.
07:56Thank you for being here.
07:58Okay, so, the vault is completely empty right now.
08:01Who is ready to start filling it with some cash, baby?
08:04Come on.
08:07Let's play the moneymaker.
08:12One by one, I'm going to ask you trivia questions that come from your own generation.
08:16If you got a question right, $250 gets added to the vault.
08:20But to make even more money, you can throw your question to another player.
08:24And if they get it right, they'll bank $500.
08:27Now, remember, even though this is a battle, this round is a chance to combine your strengths
08:31and put as much money into the vault as you can.
08:34And real talk, it's also the perfect chance for you to size up the competition.
08:37So, are you all ready?
08:39Yeah.
08:39Oh, yeah.
08:40Let's do it.
08:40All right, let's put three minutes on the clock.

14:14You did that.
14:15You did that.
14:16Woo!
14:17Gen Z, Gen X, and Boomer, it's time to enter the battle zone.
14:24The vault is going to reveal six categories.
14:26You'll each take turns picking one.
14:28Then you'll decide if you want a question from your own generation or one from your opponents.
14:33Stepping outside of your generation will earn you more cash.
14:36And that's important because whoever brings in the least amount will be heading home.
14:40Let's see the categories you'll be playing with.
14:43Lingo.
14:44Sports stars.
14:45On brand.
14:46TV families.
14:47Fun with food.
14:48And name of the game.
14:50Now, we've randomly selected the order and Gen X, you're up first.
14:56Which category would you like?
14:57Lily, I'm going to go with TV families inside my generation.
15:01For $500, here is your Gen X question.
15:05Much of the following characters is the only biological uncle to the Tanner girls on Full
15:10House.
15:11Danny, Joey, Jessie, or Steve.
15:15Okay.
15:16I know this because I did actually used to watch this show.
15:19Danny's their dad.
15:20Joey is their friend.
15:22I don't know who Steve is.
15:24So I'm going to go with Uncle Jessie.
15:27Correct.
15:28Well done, Gen X.
15:29Way to go.
15:30Boomer, you're going next.
15:33John, which category looks good to you?
15:36On brand, in my generation.
15:39For $500, here is your Boomer question.
15:42Launched in 1966, which toy line featured kid-sized household appliances like ovens and blenders?
15:49Easy Bake Oven, Suzy Homemaker, Kitchen Littles, or Barbie?
15:54I don't remember ever asking for any of these.
15:58Barbie was launched earlier than 66.
16:02And Easy Bake Oven, I think, was more in the 70s.
16:05Kitchen Littles sounds like it's made up.
16:07So I'm going to go with Suzy Homemaker.
16:09You are correct.
16:12Well done, Boomer.
16:13Five hundred dollars on the board.
16:14Tying it up.
16:15We got ourselves a game, baby.
16:17Michaela, you ready to do this?
16:19Girl, I'm scared as hell.
16:20You got this.
16:21We are cheering you on.
16:22Which category looks good to you?

16:25Outside of my generation.
16:28Ooh.
16:29Risk taker.
16:30For $1,000, here is your Gen X question.
16:34The 80s slang term, tubular,
16:37describes something that is what?
16:40Awesome?
16:41Predictable?
16:42Bad?
16:43Or round?
16:44I actually don't feel concerned anymore.
16:47I watch Teen Beach movie, of course, like every other Gen Z.
16:51So I think I'm going to go with awesome.
16:54What's the Gen Z equivalent you think of tubular?
16:58Work.
16:59How do you spell that?
17:01W-E-E-E-R-R-K-K.
17:06Okay.
17:07Oh, not too much K.
17:08No, no, no.
17:09Backspace, backspace.
17:10Backspace.
17:11Backspace.
17:12Backspace.
17:13Okay.
17:14Okay.
17:15So the 80s slang term, tubular, describes something that is what?
17:20You said the answer is awesome.
17:22If you get this right, you will take the lead with $1,000.
17:26Uh-huh.
17:27You are correct.
17:28Okay.
17:29Well done, Lekayla.
17:30Well done.
17:31All right.
17:32Work.
17:33Work.
17:34Good.
17:35We're heading into the second turn of this round,
17:38which means correct answers are worth even more.
17:40So let's get even more money in the vault, shall we?
17:42Yeah.
17:43Gen X, back to you.
17:44Three categories left.
17:45What are you thinking?
17:46Fun with food, and I have some catching up to do,
17:49but I'm going to do outside my generation.
17:51For $1,500, here is your Boomer question.
17:55What is the name of this creamy fruit salad popular in the 50s and 60s?
18:00Molded Jell-O, Ambrosia, Caesar, or Citrus?
18:05Oh, my goodness.
18:08This is going to be a guess, but it kind of looks like molded Jell-O,
18:13but would they really call something molded Jell-O?
18:16Oh.
18:17You never seen this?
18:18No, not even.
18:19I don't like maraschino cherries.
18:21That's the part of this that's concerning to you?
18:23The cherry?
18:24I rate you on that.
18:25The cherry on top?
18:26I rate you on that.
18:27I rate you on that.
18:28I'm going to go with molded Jell-O.
18:30If you get this right, you get $1,500.
18:33That would put you in the lead.
18:38That is incorrect.
18:39It is Ambrosia.
18:41It's okay.
18:42You still got some game left.
18:43Okay.
18:44Boomer, your category, your move.
18:45Let's hear it.
18:46I think they've saved sports stars for me, and I'm going to stay inside my generation.
18:53For $1,000, here is your Boomer question.
18:56What is the name of this quarterback who helped the New York Jets win the Super Bowl in 1969?
19:01Joe DiMaggio, Joe Montana, Joe Namath, Joe Frazier.
19:08Well, my older brothers would always watch sports, and so I knew about Joe Frazier.
19:15He's a boxer.
19:16Joe DiMaggio is a baseball player.
19:18And then I watched Joe Montana play for the San Francisco 49ers.
19:23So I know this is Joe Namath.
19:26Okay.
19:27Showing your work in the margins.
19:29The whole deal, like a true school teacher.
19:31All right.
19:32Here's the thing, John.
19:33If you get this question correct, TJ, our Gen Xer, will be going home.
19:42Is the correct answer Joe Namath?
19:49It is.
19:50Which means I'm so sorry, Gen X.
19:52That is the end of the road for you.
19:53There's no way you can catch up.
19:55All right.
19:56I hope you had fun.
19:57Give it up for our Gen Xer.
19:58We love to have you here.
19:59All right, girl.
20:00Walk it out, baby.
20:01You'll get that Gucci.
20:02Don't you worry.
20:03Congratulations, Boomer and Gen Z.
20:05You're both moving on to the next round.
20:08Time to deposit all the money you've made into the bulk.
20:11Let's see it.
20:13Wow.
20:14You banked $8,250.
20:18Ooh.
20:19It's time for a quick break, but we'll see you on the other side
20:22when we head into another epic battle zone.
20:25Let's do it, y'all.
20:36Welcome back to Battle of the Generations,
20:38where our contestants are playing for the chance to win up to $25,000.
20:44I mean, imagine all the things you could do with the prize money.
20:48Millennial, you could afford avocado toast and a mortgage.
20:51Did you even think that was possible?
20:52Did you even think that was possible?
20:54Hey, you know what?
20:55Yeah, it's possible, I guess.
20:57Gen Z, let me ask you.
20:58Did you think Gen X was gonna be the first to leave?
21:00If it wasn't gonna be me, it had to be her.
21:04Boomer, what was it like being in the battle zone?
21:06The hardest part for me was figuring out how much money I needed to stay in the game.
21:12I'm not a numbers guy.
21:13I was not a math teacher.
21:15My wife does all the finances at home, so that was the hardest part for me.
21:19You pulled it off very well.
21:22Millennial, you think you can stay safe again?
21:24Whew!
21:25I don't know, Lily.
21:26I'm a little, I'm sweaty.
21:27If you get sweaty, we can switch.
21:28If you switch, no one's gonna know the difference, I'm telling you.
21:33All right, well, it's time for more Rapid Fire.
21:36The first person to answer three questions correctly will be safe,
21:39and the other two will go into the battle zone.
21:42Y'all ready?
21:43Mm-hmm.
21:44Here's your first question.
21:45Good luck.
21:46Which actor hosts Red Table Talk alongside her mother?
21:50Millennial.
21:51Jada Pinkett Smith.
21:52Correct.
21:53One point towards safety.
21:54Next question.
21:55A 1980s TV ad for which brand of chocolates promised they would melt in your mouth, not in your hand?
22:01Boomer.
22:02M&M's.
22:03Correct.
22:04They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
22:05Next question.
22:06Which professional wrestler uses the stage name Stone Cold?
22:09Millennial.
22:10Stone Cold Austin.
22:11We're going to accept that.
22:13It's Stone Cold Steve Austin.
22:15Two points towards safety.
22:16Next question.
22:17Which iconic landmark is found buried in sand at the end of 1968's Planet of the Apes?
22:23Boomer.
22:24Statue of Liberty.
22:25Correct.
22:26You are tied with Millennial.
22:28One more point from either of you and you're safe.
22:30Next question.
22:31Calista Flockhart portrayed which late 90s Boston-based Boomer?
22:35Ally McBeal.
22:36Correct.
22:37Which means Boomer, you are safe and we'll be moving on to the next round.
22:41Congratulations.
22:42Gen Z and Millennial, it's time to enter the battle zone.
22:51This is just like the last round except you'll only have four categories to choose from.
22:56The small screen, movie titles, jukebox and treats.
23:01Millennial, you have control of the board.
23:04So, which category would you like?
23:06Jukebox?
23:07Inside my own generation.
23:09For $500, here is your Millennial question.
23:13Listen to this.
23:14In which 2002 movie starring Britney Spears does this song appear?
23:32A Walk to Remember, Blue Crush, Crossroads or The Sweetest Thing?
23:37I love my Britney B.
23:40And I'd have to say Crossroads, honey.
23:43You're Hype Woman-ing me up.
23:45I feel like I'm being a freak show right now.
23:48You said the correct answer is Crossroads.
23:51That is correct.
23:54Well done, Millennial.
23:55Gen Z, let's match that energy, shall we?
23:59Which category are you thinking?
24:01Treat?
24:02Inside my generation.
24:04For $500, here is your Gen Z question.
24:07Oh my God.
24:08This viral coffee beverage is called Dalgona, but it is also known as what?
24:12Cloudy cappuccino, dream latte, frothy or whipped coffee?
24:20I don't even drink coffee.
24:22I don't even know what a frothy is or a dream latte or a cloudy cappuccino.
24:27I've never heard of any of those things.
24:30Whipped coffee actually kind of sounds good.
24:32And I swear that was like a TikTok trend during the pandemic.
24:36I'm going to go with whipped coffee.
24:39That's correct.
24:40Oh my God.
24:41Oh, we got ourselves a king.
24:43Oh God.
24:44TikTok is such a resource for you.
24:46Oh, for real?
24:47So you probably see stuff from all generations on there, right?
24:49Exactly.
24:50I've literally learned so much about boomers literally just by scrolling TikTok.
24:55Wow.
24:56How much time do you spend on TikTok?
24:57I think right now I'm at like 17 hours on my phone a day.
25:02A day?
25:03I know.
25:04How do I even find the time when I'm usually traveling?
25:06When do you sleep?
25:07I don't even know actually.
25:09Dang.
25:11Okay.
25:12Tied at 500 bucks.
25:13Now remember, correct answers are worth even more on the second turn.
25:18It's getting hot in here.
25:19Millennial, two categories left.
25:21I'm going to go with the small screen outside of my generation.
25:25For $1,500, here is your Gen Z question.
25:30Which Scooby-Doo character received their own spinoff in 2023 courtesy of Mindy Kaling?
25:36Shaggy, Fred, Daphne or Velma?
25:41Never really watched Scooby-Doo and Mindy Kaling, eh?
25:48My brown girl!
25:49You know what's wild?
25:50If Mindy Kaling was here right now, we'd be triplets.
25:53I really didn't watch the Gen Z in 2023.
25:58I'm going to need an answer.
26:00Okay.
26:01Let's just go with Thread.
26:06That's incorrect.
26:08Velma is the correct answer.
26:10Get a feeling!
26:11Velma is the correct answer.
26:12It's not over yet.
26:14Gen Z, one category left, movie titles.
26:17Would you like a question from your own generation or outside of your generation?
26:20Well, after that, I think I'm going to go with Inside My Generation because I'm feeling pretty good.
26:26Okay.
26:27This would be for the win.
26:29For $1,000, here's your Gen Z question.
26:33Okay.
26:34The 2023 film Anyone But You is based on which Shakespearean play?
26:40Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, The Tempest or Much Ado About Nothing?
26:47Okay.
26:48I don't even know what The Tempest is, but I know it's not Macbeth.
26:52So I'm going to say that it's Much Ado About Nothing.
26:55If you get this correct, our millennial will be going home.
26:59I love her, but I would like to see her go.
27:01Love you.
27:02Fair enough.
27:03I love you, too.
27:04Fair enough.
27:05Mikayla?
27:10Yes.
27:11That is correct.
27:12Oh, my God!
27:13That is correct.
27:14The millennial, you brought in the least amount of cash this round.
27:17Thanks so much for being here.
27:19We loved having you.
27:20Fair enough.
27:21We'll see you.
27:22We'll see you.
27:23Bye, baby.
27:24Congratulations, Gen Z.
27:26Time to deposit your winnings from this round.
27:30There's now $9,750 in the vault.
27:35After the break, we're heading into the final face-off,
27:37where our Gen Z and Boomer will duke it out
27:40for the chance to win up to $25,000.
27:44Stay with us.
27:46Work!
27:48Work!
27:56Welcome back to Battle of the Generations,
27:58and then there were two.
28:00In the last round, our millennials said goodbye,
28:02and now we have Gen Z and Boomer getting ready
28:05for one final showdown.
28:07Now, this is opposite ends of the generational spectrum,
28:10which is going to make things real interesting.
28:12Gen Z, did you think you would make it this far?
28:14Honest to God, no.
28:15Boomer, how confident do you feel going up against Gen Z?
28:19I said from the very beginning, that would be the most difficult generation to go up against,
28:24and so to end up like this makes me really nervous.
28:27You've been crushing it so far, crushing it.
28:31Well, here's what's really interesting, actually, Gen Z and Boomer.
28:34You have each brought in the exact same amount of money into the vault.
28:39Oh, wow.
28:40You both brought in $4,000, so you are really neck and neck here.
28:45Okay!
28:46We got ourselves a good game here, baby!
28:48Let's go!
28:49Gen Z, Boomer, it's time to go head-to-head in the final face-off.
28:54This round will have five questions, which you'll both be answering at the same time.
29:01For each question, I'm going to show you four famous faces, three of whom have something in common.
29:06Your job is to find which of them is the odd one out.
29:09You'll both select your answers on your keypads, and the player who answers the best out of five correctly will win the round,
29:16but also you'll be banking $1,000 for every correct answer.
29:20Are you both ready?
29:21Yes!
29:22Oh, yeah.
29:23Oh, yeah.
29:24Here's your first question.
29:25Good luck.
29:26Which of these men is not a professional race car driver?
29:31Charles Leclerc, Ari Lyondyke Jr., Milo Ventimiglia, or Michael Andretti?
29:38Let me lock it in.
29:39Gen Z, how are you feeling about this question?
29:43I actually feel really, really good because I know one of the actors up here.
29:47One of the actors?
29:48Maybe, maybe not.
29:49Maybe not.
29:50Did you know everyone up there?
29:52No, girl.
29:53I don't know who these people are.
29:55Boomer, you know who these people are?
29:57I didn't recognize all of them, but some had familiar last names.
30:02Okay.
30:03You both chose Milo Ventimiglia.
30:07And you are both correct.
30:10Okay.
30:11Well done.
30:12Milo is an actor, but he did play a race car driver in the movie The Art of Racing in the Rain.
30:17Oh.
30:18Yes.
30:19Here is your second question.
30:21Which of these singers is not a country music artist?
30:24Tate McRae, Mickey Guyton, Martina McBride, or Winona Judd?
30:34You've both selected your answer.
30:36Boomer, talk to me.
30:37I know some of them.
30:38Honestly, I went with what I thought was more of a country singer name.
30:43Okay.
30:44Gen Z, how are you feeling?
30:45I mean, I only know one person up here, so we'll see how this goes.
30:50Okay.
30:51Gen Z, you selected Tate McRae.
30:54Our boomer selected Mickey Guyton.
30:57Oh my God.
30:58One of you is correct.
30:59Oh my God.
31:00And the person that is correct is going to be revealed after the break.
31:09Don't go anywhere.
31:10Don't go anywhere.
31:11Wow.
31:12You played me.
31:13You played me.
31:14I didn't make it interesting, baby.
31:15Let's go.
31:16Welcome back to Battle of the Generations.
31:17Our Gen X and boomer are in the midst of our final face-off, and only one of them will
31:34face the vault for their chance to win it all.
31:37Remember, whoever answers the best out of five questions right will be moving on to the
31:41final round, and it's the end of the road for the other contestant.
31:45Now, before the break, Gen Z, you said the answer to this question is Tate McRae.
31:50Boomer, you said it's Mickey Guyton.
31:54One of you is correct.
31:57The correct answer is Tate McRae, which means Gen Z, point for you.
32:04Two points on the board.
32:06Next question.
32:09Which of these actors has not appeared on the sitcom Modern Family?
32:14Nolan Gould, Adam Devine, Adam Scott, or Ed O'Neill?
32:19Boomer, you a fan of Modern Family?
32:24In retirement, my wife and I actually watch Modern Family on a regular basis.
32:28Wow.
32:29Yes.
32:30One of our favorite TV shows of all time.
32:32Perfect question for you, then.
32:33It is.
32:34It is.
32:35How does that make you feel, Gen Z?
32:36After that, I don't know.
32:37I, like, see, like, three familiar faces, but I have no idea whether or not they've appeared
32:43on Modern Family.
32:44We'll see.
32:45Okay.
32:46We will see.
32:47Gen Z, you said the correct answer is Adam Devine.
32:50John, you said the correct answer is Adam Scott.
32:55Point for Boomer, which ties things up.
33:06Both tied two points each.
33:08Here is the next question.
33:10Which of these artists does not have a hit song titled Deja Vu?
33:15Olivia Rodrigo, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, or Dionne Warwick?
33:24Boomer, you familiar with these artists?
33:27I am familiar with three of the four.
33:30Mikayla.
33:31Girl.
33:32Uh-oh.
33:33You confident?
33:34I just don't know one of their music catalogs.
33:39So, let's see.
33:41Gen Z, you selected Dionne Warwick.
33:44Yeah.
33:45John, you selected Mariah Carey.
33:52Now, one of you is correct.
33:54Oh, my God.
33:55This would be to take the lead in our final face-off.
33:58The correct answer is Mariah Carey.
34:04Point for Boomer, taking the lead.
34:07Three points versus two points.
34:10Wow.
34:11Dionne's song was released in 1979, Beyonce's in 2006, and Olivia's in 2021.
34:17Here is your final question in this face-off.
34:21Good luck.
34:22Which of these actors has not appeared in a romantic comedy?
34:27Sidney Sweeney, Eddie Redmayne, Bradley Cooper, or Meryl Streep?
34:37You've both selected an answer.
34:40You are trying to tie this up, Mikayla, to stay in the game.
34:45Boomer, you're going for the win.
34:47How do you feel about this question, Gen Z?
34:49This could go many, many ways, but I know three of these actors.
34:57One of them look familiar, and I don't think I've ever seen them in a romantic comedy, nor do I think they have a romantic comedy face.
35:03But I think I got that.
35:05Okay.
35:06Boomer, what about you?
35:07I know three of the four, and of the three, I think I know which one.
35:12Okay.
35:13Gen Z, you selected Eddie Redmayne, which is correct.
35:19However, what it really comes down to is if our Boomer also selected Eddie Redmayne.
35:32Boomer answered Eddie Redmayne, which means four points for our Boomer, Gen Z.
35:40You, unfortunately, will be heading home, but you all lasted two generations.
35:45And, girl, you helped add a ton of cash to the vault.
35:47You should be very proud of how you played today.
35:49Thank you so much for joining us, Mikayla.
35:53Cartwheel on out of here, girl.
35:55Yes.
35:56Yes.
35:57Work!
35:59Boomer, congratulations.
36:00You win the round, and we'll be facing the vault.
36:04Over the past four rounds, our competitors have deposited a grand total of...
36:09$13,750.
36:13We have to go for a quick break, but come back soon, because Boomer is going to come back to the vault.
36:16Boomer is going to compete not only to unlock all the cash in the vault, but for the chance to walk out of here with, wait for it, up to $25,000.
36:26Come right back.
36:27Boomer, you ready for this?
36:29I'm ready.
36:30Welcome back to Battle of the Generations.
36:41We have the last one standing.
36:42Boomer, you've outlasted all three of your opponents and are about to head into your final battle.
36:46John, you have been crushing it so far.
36:48You said you were the chaperone at the prom.
36:50Yeah, well...
36:51You're more like the king of the prom now, right?
36:53Yeah.
36:54Well...
36:55So, John, I'm going to paint you a picture.
36:56You walk out of here $25,000 richer.
36:58Ooh.
36:59What are you going to spend it on?
37:00Ooh.
37:01Well, my wife and I have not traveled since before COVID.
37:04OK.
37:05And we had made plans to travel to Europe, and then COVID came.
37:09And then after COVID, one of our sons got married, and then our other son got married.
37:13So, this is what I'm working for today.
37:16OK.
37:17Those selfish kids getting married.
37:19So, you want to travel.
37:20No, that was good.
37:21That was good, because they also brought grandchildren.
37:23OK.
37:24Maybe you'll spoil your grandchildren a little bit, too.
37:26Ah, let's just spoil the wife first.
37:28That is the right answer, John.
37:30Happy wife, happy life.
37:31That's right.
37:32That's right.
37:33All right, John, it's time to face your final opponent.
37:38Welcome to the vault.
37:43There's currently $13,750 banked, and it could be all yours.
37:50Locked inside the vault are four time castles, one from every generation.
37:54And each one holds three questions.
37:57To secure that cash, all you have to do is correctly answer all three questions
38:01from one single generation in two minutes or less.
38:04But, John, it's not as easy as it sounds.
38:06When I say the word, the vault's randomizer will activate, highlighting questions across all four generations.
38:12You can pause the randomizer whenever you want by pressing your button, and based on where it lands, I'll reveal the question to you.
38:18Got it?
38:19Got it.
38:20If you get a question wrong at any point, all the questions in that capsule will permanently lock.
38:25And that generation will no longer be in play.
38:28And remember, passes count as incorrect answers.
38:31John, are you ready?
38:34Ready.
38:35Let's put two minutes on the clock.
38:37Your time starts now.

39:59Oh, my God.
40:00Oh, my God.
40:02Here's the thing, John.
40:04It's not over yet.
40:07Because, Boomer, you now have a huge decision to make.
40:12You have officially activated the cash-in question.
40:16John, all you have to do is answer one more trivia question from your own generation.
40:24You get the cash-in question right.
40:25You walk out of here $25,000 richer.
40:29But, and this is a big but, if you choose to pay the cash-in question and you get it wrong, you will lose everything.
40:38What's it going to be?
40:39Are you going to take the risk and try to walk out of here at $25,000?
40:43Or are you going to play it safe, take the money, and walk away?
40:52I'm going to take the money and go home.
40:54And we're going to go on a great trip.
40:57Amazing.
40:57No shame to that.
40:58Congratulations.
40:59You're officially going home with $13,750.
41:03How do you feel, John?
41:04I feel awesome.
41:05I hope you had an amazing time.
41:07I did.
41:07But do you know what would make this even more fun?
41:09No.
41:09We just see for fun what the question was going to be.
41:12Should we do that?
41:13Oh, yeah, sure.
41:14Oh, my God.
41:14Let's do that, shall we?
41:16Sure.
41:16What was that cash-in question going to be?
41:19Which synthetic surface was originally called chem-grass before it was first installed in a sports stadium?
41:28Turf.
41:29Turf.
41:30You would have said turf.
41:32Turf.
41:32The correct answer is astroturf.
41:36Oh.
41:36And we wouldn't have accepted it.
41:38So you are a smart, smart man, John.
41:41Woo!
41:42Okay.
41:43Boomer, you battled your way to the top and represented your generation like a boss.
41:48Any parting wisdom you'd like to leave us with?
41:50You know, a lot of people think that boomers are, you know, we don't know a lot.
41:56But I think this proved that, you know, we do know something.
42:00Happy wife, happy life, John.
42:01Happy wife, happy life.
42:02That's it for today.
42:03Remember, you can't pick your age, but you can pick your battles.
42:06See you next time on Battle of the Generations.
42:08Let's go, John.
42:09Hey.
42:10Let's go, John.
