Speaker 1 (00:01):
If your teenager looks constipated and weirdly happy about it
in every single photo. Here's why it's broken, Jeffrey in
the morning. It's because gen Z's new favorite selfie pose
is scrunch face.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Let me take a selfie.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Like you're trying two hard on the toilet, because you know,
duck face dominating for the long time as the go
to pose.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Then we had fish gape and sparrow jaw to animal
faces you're supposed to make to look cute. But now
it's all about the scrunch face. And it's mostly something teenage.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Girls are doing in their pictures.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
But to pull off scrunch face, you have to scrunch
up your nose, squint your eyes. You're supposed to tilt
your head a little and flash like a tiny ground
and you do when you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Do a point five selfie with your phone backwards.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh yeah, it's how you take selfie's now, jeff.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay, I still have a flip I have a no
Keia flip phone, so.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
You have to, like I don't have to get to
dumb it down from the back to the scrunch face.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's supposed to be like the face you make if
you just bit into a lemon, but a little bit
more smiley, and if you do it right, it's supposed
to look real cute.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I see girls do this with the tongue out and
it's like.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I'm cute.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
If you do it wrong, it's supposed to look like
you ate too much cheese and haven't seen a bathroom
in days.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's interesting the yeah, the one you sent around looks
like she smells something, Yeah, smell something icky, like she's
look cute, Like I think she's just cute.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So it's just, yeah, it's not the.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Best look for her.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
People have been doing this on social media for a while,
but apparently now it's hitting a point where kids do
it compulsively as their natural reflex pose without even thinking.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
So it's everywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Cheese like say, scrunch yeah, lemon.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Real quick, right before we move on, I want everybody
to get together with me. Right now, we're going to
do a quick scrunch face photo for digital Jake. All right,
we're gonna scrunch scrunch on three ready, one two, three?
Scratch were cute, Jake?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Was it cute? You were all there and we got
that out of the way, and we're totally cool.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Let's move on to the shackcalla question of the day
with Digital Jake.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Go ahead, Jake, It's time to play the game show
that moves faster than a tree squirrel on a caffeine bing.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Our golden haired mensa.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Student, Alexis is ready to tackle questions so painfully easy
even a mentally appaired goldfish to get them right.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Second party, will you put your.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Trust into her childlike discount manicured hands?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
He just saying that hand is child like nothing nails.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's another heart pounding edition of three Seconds with Alexis.
The theme of today's game is simple sign.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Science.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
And even though Brook adamantly does not believe in science,
let's go to the board and see which specific scientific
category Alexis will be tackling. First, Brook, your category is
ancient Greek theory and philosophy, right up her, alley, Brook,
Is she getting the question right or wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
First of all, I don't think that's science.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, science once again, you're not a philosophy department inside
the science building anywhere.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Greek philosophy.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know what is interesting about that is I think
that she may get this right because sometimes her thinking
is so out of the box that it actually ends
up making sense and being I'm a philosophy pretty I
believe in her even though this isn't science.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Jake, all right, Brooks betting on Alexis to get this right. Alexis,
you can answer as soon as I stop asking the question. Alexis,
the ancient Greeks believed there were four elements that made
up everything in our universe, Earth, water, air, and what else?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Easy?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's water, Aaron Ling. You didn't even answer it, Alexis.
We were looking for fire.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
There's even a seventies band named after this.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They skipped element that I did.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
But yeah, that theory was suggested around four p fifty
BC and was later supported by Brooks high school boyfriend Aristotle.
I had to qualify that because Alexis may assume that
Aristotle was a.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Rapper, little Aristyle future.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
We have one person getting shocked already. Let's move over
to the next category. It's four, Jeff, Jeff, Let's go
to the board again. Ancient Chinese cosmology. Jeff, is she
getting this right or wrong?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's almost cosmetology.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, if it was cosmetology, she'd be all over that
with that discount.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Man, I.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Want to believe in you.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hear Alexis and it is that?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Are you know what? In your face? I believe in you.
You're gonna get this one right, all right, jeff here's
your question.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
In the ancient Chinese religion of Taoism, they believe there
are five basic elements that make up our universe or
cosmos akaa cosmology another one those elements are earth, wood, metal, water,
and what else?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's fire? Jake, that's second guest? Is it fire?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Jeffrey bet on her and it paid off. You're safe
so far. We're about to go back to the board
for Jose. But before we do, you should know we've
already removed ancient Buddhism from the subcategories. Okay, they believe
in six elements, and yes, Jose, one of them is fire.
But your scientific category is the Disney Pixar movie Elemental, Jose,
(06:33):
Will she get this right or wrong?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh? I don't know if she's seen it, but no,
you know, she's seen every animated movie in the history
of time, and she loves them and she actually pays
attention to them.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So I have a lot of faith she's gonna get
this right.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Jake, Is anything else concerned we're considering a Disney movie science.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I know better than the question the board. Jose's bet
on Alexis. Here's your question, Alexis. This family film takes
us into the world of Element City, where the residents
are all made up of the four basic elements. The
story follows an unlikely duo, Ember and Wade. Which two
elements do they represent?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Saw this? It's so cute. It's a flame and water.
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Flame is technically not an element, but that she's a
little like cute fire flames.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Fire, Wade, ripple is water. So Brooke is getting shots.
Jeff and Jose are safe. That was three seconds with
alexis the only game show that can kill your brain
cells faster than drinking chlorox or your money back.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Money's not a brain cells guy. All three answers were fired,
and she somehow got mine wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Was fire and water?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Karma comes back to bite Brook for not believing in
science and she's gonna get shot while doing.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Scrunch face singing its raining men by weather girls, it's rain.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Rain, and that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It was actually really good scrunch face.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I can't wait to see our picture to shock call
a question of the day phone taps coming up in
just a few minutes,
