- I am a teenager.
- I'm a teenager.
- I'm a teen.
(hip hop music)
- [Group] Hi!
(group laughs)
- Age? - 18.
- 18, I'm 16.
- I'm 16.
- 18.
- 16.
- I'm also 16.
- So are all of us in high school?
- Yeah, I'm a junior-
- [Teen] I (indistinct) you guys-
- [Nina] Oh, you're a junior?
- Yeah, 16.
- Yeah, I'm a really young senior.
- [Guy] I'm a young senior too.
- I just graduated. - Yeah, okay.
- When do you turn 17?
- [Nina] December.
- September.
- I was pretty confident that the other Josh was a teenager,
just because of the way he shook his hair around.
I thought that was very like teenager.
This is such like a dumb question,
but what's everyone's favorite TikTok trend right now?
Or like sound?
I feel like that will help.
- What is your favorite TikTok trend?
Which I felt like was such a generic question,
that I feel like that is like would like the easiest thing
for the mold to ask and fake about.
- I like the one that's like, like-
- [Lauren] Oh (indistinct).
(teens banter)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I like that one, yeah.
- One that I do remember that reminded me of that
is the one where it's like the last person
if you talk (bleep), then you have to pay for the bill
and (indistinct).
- [Lauren] Oh yeah, (indistinct).
(teens laugh)
- My strategy is to not agro anyone.
Pure defense, you know, just making sure
they realize I'm a teenager
and that way I can just slip
through the cracks like everyone else.
- Anyone have more questions?
- What year did you guys go to school during Covid?
- [Lauren] My sophomore year.
- [Nina] Eighth grade to freshman.
- [Josh] Eighth grade to freshman?
(soft music)
- She had the braids.
So I thought maybe she was trying to throw everyone off
and look younger than she actually was.
(soft music continues)
(buzzer noises)
I'm not that surprised just 'cause I noticed
I was dressed differently than a lot of the other girls.
And I get mistaken for being older
than I really am, pretty often.
- Like in terms of Covid year, how was that for you guys?
'Cause for me it was in the middle of my freshman year
and then all the way through my sophomore year.
- Mine is literally the same as yours.
Like, yeah.
- Mine was middle of eighth into ninth.
- Same.
- Yeah, same thing, like eighth to ninth.
- It was hard starting high school, though.
Like on Zoom, I feel like I just didn't know
how to come back from that.
And my grades were like fine.
It was more like socially; like I just didn't know.
- That's true. - It was very awkward.
- I think for me it was my grades because I was in cheer,
but I was pretty social in terms of that.
I played a lot of games during classes.
I would just like play Minecraft
while my chem teacher was talking.
- I definitely picked up video games.
Prior to that, maybe I played a little bit,
but after that it took off. - What video game?
- Apex, Call of Duty, Xbox. - Yeah.
- I remember recording my teacher's lectures
and then just play games
and I'd watch them back later if I had to.
If I needed remember anything- - Oh that's smart,
I'd even-
- Two Josh's think alike.
- Exactly, it was so simple.
- As a Josh, I have a badge that's invisible on my chest
and I had to trust him, like 100%.
Plus, he just seemed like he was just like me but taller.
- One thing I really hated about Zoom classes
was breakout rooms, because nobody would talk.
Everyone would just stare at at their each other-
- And just like be silent.
- Everyone would just stare at each other.
And then sometimes my teacher would come in
and like he'd get mad because we weren't talking
and I was like, well, I'm waiting for this person
to talk first (giggles).
- I was suspicious of Juliana because I feel like during
that round she was kind of leading the conversation.
So I felt like that might've been in order
to like waste time, which is why I try
and change the topics and kept it moving.
I'm assuming you guys, like everyone here had
the internet growing up 'cause that's just how it was.
You guys all use computers, right?
- [Josh And Juliana] Yeah.
- Do you have any memories distinctly
from like when you were a kid,
like a video or like anything you'd done on the computer
that you remember as like the thing?
- I used to play Papa's Freezeria.
Does anyone know that?
- Yeah, I still play that.
- The one cool Mac game where the guy had like the gun,
Johnny Upgrade I think it was called.
- Oh yeah.
- [Josh] Remember that?
- No, you just run through it till you beat the boss.
- [Josh] Yes.
- And then you play until you start.
- I played the run one, where you were like the whole-
- [Josh B.] That's a good one.
- [Juliana] Yeah, like dimensions would flip.
- Yeah.
- [Juliana] Or flip or something.
- What about you?
- (indistinct) you like the runner maze one?
- Yeah, or like people put it now on TikTok
to Reddit stories.
- It's just like you run in a straight line
like a tube, right?
- Right, and- - Yeah and yeah.
- [Josh B.] You jump and it shifts the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
- Oh yeah, I was just agreeing.
I really didn't play too much,
but I played on my phone quite a bit.
And then I did a lot of YouTube.
I didn't start playing games until like-
- How old were you when you got a phone?
- So I got one in seventh grade.
- Okay.
- What phone was that?
- An iPhone?
- [Josh B.] Which one?
- I think it was the seventh.
(Josh B. Mumbles)
- I got a phone when I was I think 12 or something.
- I got one when I was like eight.
- [Josh B.] I got one-
- Me too.
My parents are divorced. - No, same.
(Juliana and Lauren banter)
- One thing I like really remember when I was little
is Minecraft was still like kind of new,.
so there was like another version of it
called Minecraft Light.
- Oh, oh, on the phone- - [Juliana] Do you know what
I'm talking-
- (indistinct) on your limits and you could only do so much.
- Yeah, you could like only use like glass or like brick.
- [Josh B.] Oh yeah, (indistinct) the selective blocks
and dirt and grass. (teens banter)
- That's one thing I remember.
And then they totally removed that-
(buzzer chimes)
Hey, think you've figured out the mole yet?
Well make sure to subscribe if you think you've got it.
Now let's get back into the video.
(soft music)
- Lauren was kind of just agreeing.
She was like, yes.
And I was like, yes, that's suspicious, honestly.
(soft music continues)
(buzzer noises)
- It kind of sucked being voted out,
but it's the nature of the game I guess.
- [Game Producer] Please raise your hand
if you want to continue playing the game.
- How do you feel about school lunch?
- [Josh B.] Bad.
- [Lauren] School lunch?
- Really bad. - So bad.
- It's so bad.
- The thing that gets me is they don't even have water.
Like they only offer, at least in my school,
they give us milk and they have water fountains.
- [Lauren] They don't give you water?
- When you were in elementary school,
did they give you like milk in a bag?
- [Josh B.] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- And you have to like stick-
(teens banter) - I get (indistinct).
- I was like, I don't even want to drink this.
I would just starve the whole day, honestly.
- Do you have your school lunch line
separated by year?
Like junior?
- [Other Teens] No!
- [Juliana] Not at all.
- I go to a small school, so we all
just go at the same time.
- My school's big, but there's just one line and it's bad.
It's like 1000 person school
and there's one lunch period.
It's not like we have like an A and B lunch schedule,
I know some schools have that.
- So 1000 kids are just like-
- Pretty much, yeah- - In line?
- The line wraps around the building.
- My school like it was really bad freshman year.
But they also, there was always Fridays they had pizza.
- You had like scheduled days.
- Yeah, like there's always pizza.
Always- - Every day?
- There's always pizza.
Yeah. - Oh.
- And they get it from Papa John's.
- What?
- [Juliana] But yeah-
- My school wouldn't do that.
I remember the last time I had like a certain like food item
on a day was in elementary school;
which made me think, okay, she has to be older.
- What shows did you guys watch when you were younger?
I was like-
- [Lauren] Disney?
- Yeah, I was a big like "Jessie", "Good Luck Charlie"-
- "Shake It Up".
- I didn't watch TV.
I was a YouTube kid.
- But I remember I watched "Phineas and Ferb" on repeat.
- Bro, actually I did watch that.
- I watched these on repeat.
I did not have cable, so I didn't watch a lot of TV.
I watched a lot of YouTube.
- Right. - Yeah, okay.
- PewDiePie, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye.
- Markiplier was a really big one for me.
I still watch him.
- What are like some unfair things
that you think people think of about teenagers?
That are like not true.
- I was gonna say like low attention span,
but I have a really low attention span.
Like I'll fully be like playing Minecraft
and I'll have like a show on.
So that's definitely not like an unfair one.
- Like I feel we're just kind of depicted
to have like such like a laziness.
'Cause people say our generation's like easier
for whatever.
- We're like bad friend groups or something.
- Just like toxic people in-
- [Josh] Yeah, yeah.
- I get that.
- I was gonna say like maybe sensitivity,
like how we act on the internet.
- [Josh B.] Oh, that's a good one.
- Cancel culture and all that.
- [Josh B.] People being like sensitive.
- I would think, I think that's a big one
'cause I think it's mainly online
where people can be like really sensitive, but-
- I think a lot of people just think
that like everyone younger than them is...
Since they have like all this new stuff, they're like,
oh you are like- - Spoiled.
- [Josh B.] Spoiled or like you have it easier.
- [Lauren] Right, yeah.
- Or like you're like doing better 'cause of us.
And like that's our fault for some reason.
- It's actually harder, though,
'cause we have like social media and stuff.
- Yeah, that's- (buzzer chimes)
(soft music)
- [Josh] Juliana, sorry. (buzzer noises)
- I knew I was gonna get voted out.
Especially with the the school lunch comment.
I don't get school lunch.
- [Narrator] Please raise your hand
if you want to continue the game.
- [Game Producer] If the lights turn green,
you voted the mole out and you win.
If the lights turn red, the mole is still in the game
and you lost.
One, two- (dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
(winning teens laugh) - [Josh B.] Oh my God.
.- I think we, Josh, I knew-
- [Josh B.] I trusted you, I trusted you.
I (indistinct) you, bro.
(winning teens banter)
- Okay, okay, okay.
- [Game Producer] On the count of three,
can the mole please reveal themselves?
Three, two, one.
- I knew you had me from the jump.
- I knew it was you.
I knew it was you because you were low key silent.
- I got, first of all, I got everything wrong.
Second of all, I did not think it was Hannah at all.
So yeah, I was like, oh, she's a teenager.
- So I'm actually a mom and I'm 31 years old.
The moment that gave me away was Minecraft.
My mind went blank.
- I was shocked to find out she's a mother.
She looks so good for 30.
(Lauren mumbles)
- [Josh] I gotchu.
Oh.
- [Lauren] I think it's-
- Let the...
Ah, there we go!
- [Josh B.] Yes!
- This is Benjamin.
This is- (cash flickers loudly)
- Wow! (upbeat music)
Yes, so.
