Baby Boomers vs. Millennials

  • 0:00 - 0:01
    Welcome to the show.
  • 0:01 - 0:04
    I'm Ellen and like many of you,
    I am a baby boomer.
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    We are the generation that grew
    up drinking garden from garden hoses and
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    drinking orange Tang and
    drinking from our parent's liquor cabinet.
  • 0:12 - 0:16
    Baby boomers were
    born between 1946 and 1964.
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    They call us that because
    after the World War II,
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    there was a boom of babies being born.
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    People were like, we lived through
    the war, let's make whoopee.
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    And-
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    For you millennials,
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    making whoopee is like Netflix and chill.
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    That's what it is.
  • 0:40 - 0:45
    But they were married.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    That's the difference.
  • 0:51 - 0:56
    So, millennials were
    born between 1982 and 2004.
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    These are people who will
    never know the joy of using
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    the end of a pencil to dial the phone.
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    Do you remember that?
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    You would actually
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    I have some news for baby boomers,
    we are not the majority any more.
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    A new census says that millennials
    have over taken us, and
  • 1:09 - 1:14
    I know this because a 20 year old staff
    member read it to me from the internet.
  • 1:14 - 1:16
    So, I want to play a little game.
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    I am gonna test the knowledge between
    baby boomers and millennials and
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    see how well they know each other.
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    Tracy Woods and Chantelle Miller,
    where are you two?
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    All right, so I'm gonna ask you
    questions about the other generation and
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    we'll see how well y'all know each other,
    okay?
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    Okay.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    All right,
    we're gonna start with the baby boomer.
  • 1:32 - 1:36
    What does, and don't help, anybody,
    because we want to see how much she knows.
  • 1:36 - 1:37
    Okay.
    What does yolo mean?
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    Yolo.
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    What do you think it means?
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    It's an icon on the text messaging.
  • 1:44 - 1:45
    No.
  • 1:45 - 1:46
