♪ I don't think you're ready for this trivia ♪
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful theme music)
(fire blasts)
- Good Mythical Morning!
- Now before we get going this morning,
we have something very important to tell you:
please vote!
The U.S. midterm elections are November 6th,
and if you aren't registered to vote yet,
what are you doing?
Make it happen!
- Yes, please go to Vote.org right now
to handle your business as soon as possible
and to be your Mythical best.
- Now voting first became a thing in America
when 242 years ago we declared our independence
from the British monarchy and fought an entire war
all so we could prepare ourselves to be faithful
to the one true leader:
Beyonce.
She's all-powerful, all-knowing,
and we're all obsessed with her.
- So it only seemed fitting that she would be
the first subject of our attempt at the most difficult
pop culture trivia game on the planet.
It's the truest test of millennial might,
the undoing of keyboard know-it-alls,
it's time for Un-Google-able,
Beyonce edition.
- Okay Link, I'm very excited about this because
it's going to be very difficult.
- For me.
- We have combed the outer reaches of the internet
to find the absolutely most challenging trivia
about Queen Bey herself, and because it is so difficult,
you're gonna have multiple choice so you could just do
random guessing and get 50%.
- But this is not just to stump me,
this is to educate even the most dedicated--
- Yes. - Beyonce fan.
- The most hardcore members of the Beyhive,
which I always thought it was the Bay-hive,
turns out it's actually the Bee-hive.
- So you're not in it. - So basically Ellie did
the deep research on this.
This is finding out things about Beyonce
that you can't just Google.
Like you would have to Google multiple things
and kinda piece them together.
You'd have to be like a weirdly super, super fan
in order to know this.
- [Ellie] And speaking of being a super fan,
you did say Queen Bay instead of Queen Bee up top,
so just checking you there.
- Oh already I'm wrong.
She's the Queen Bey of the Beyhive but she's called--
- Negative point. - Beyonce.
She's not called Bay-once, you're right.
- What do I win?
- Okay, if you win, you actually get to taste
the lemonade that Queen Bey outlined in her song.
- We have that? - Yes.
And, if you lose, I'm just squirt some lemon
in your face (chuckles).
Okay, question number one, at the 2009 VMAs,
Kanye West became incensed at Taylor Swift's win
for best female video. - Yep.
- He famously stormed the stage to declare,
"Beyonce had the greatest music video of all time.
"Of all time!"
The show would go on to award Single Ladies
video of the year and the controversial event
would go on to psychologically destroy both Kanye
and Taylor Swift for years to come.
So the real question is, what's the exact number of times
Beyonce claps her hands together during
the Single Ladies music video?
Was it A: 24, B: 13,
C: 87, or D: she never claps her hands.
(Link sighs)
♪ All the single ladies ♪
I've got a confession to make. - Okay.
- I have seen this music video many times,
but I was never looking at her hands.
- Mhm, okay, I get it.
- (clapping) 87 times.
♪ All the single ladies ♪
I mean you can get to 87.
- That's exactly how.
But how many times-- ♪ Now put your hands up ♪
- Not how many times do you hear claps,
how many times does she, Beyonce herself,
clap in the video?
- I believe that it's 87,
and I'd like to think that Ellie counted.
- All right, let's see it!
♪ All the single ladies ♪
- [Link] (laughing) I love this!
♪ All the single ladies ♪
- That's it, man!
That's it, all 13 claps right there.
- Just there, it doesn't come back to that later
in the music video?
- Well it keeps coming back to different angles
of Beyonce-- - But she's not clapping.
- But she actually only claps herself 13 times.
- And I never noticed how profoundly loud
the clap sounds were in the video, but they are. (chuckles)
- It almost sounds like someone edited in
clap noises after the fact. - 13, huh.
Only 13. - Yeah.
You know, you gotta be a real big fan
to know this kinda stuff.
Okay, here's the next one.
Beyonce has an incredible range and she especially excels
at nailing high notes live.
In one incredible performance, Beyonce shares the stage
with another great vocalist and hits an impressive
C6 high note in a bid to outperform them.
Who is she competing against?
- Okay. - Is it A: Bruno Mars
in a faux battle at the 50th Superbowl Halftime Show.
- Saw that. - B: Shakira in a rare 2006
live performance of their duet on Beautiful Liar,
C: Celine Dion when she invited Destiny's Child
to a special concert recording, or D: Watson,
the IBM supercomputer and he's got--
♪ Range ♪
- I can't go any higher than that.
- Come at me, bro.
- I refuse.
- Bruno Mars, he can hit some high notes,
but not as high as Celine Dion.
- Celine Dion.
- Can Beyonce sing higher than Celine?
She definitely sings more appealing to me.
So don't hate on me for that comment.
I'm just saying.
Shakira sings low.
♪ Shakira sings like this ♪
- Not the Shakira I've been watching.
♪ My hips don't lie ♪
I think this is Celine, early on in the Beyonce,
Destiny's Child scenario.
- Okay.
♪ A part of all the the things you ♪
♪ Are ♪
♪ But you've got a part of someone else ♪
♪ You've gotta go find your shining star ♪
(Beyonce holds high note)
(Link mimics high singing)
- Yeah, whoa, whoa!
That's not a C6. (Link clears throat)
Yeah, it was Salon.
It was Salon!
- I got that one right! - It was Celine.
♪ All the winning guys ♪
- In September of 2016, Beyonce posted a series
of Instagram photos featuring her, Blue Ivy,
and the family's new pet dog.
What is that dog's name and breed?
Is it A: a fluffy Shih Tzu named Munchie,
B: a fluffy miniature poodle named Elsa,
C: a fluffy Maltese named Colette,
or D: we don't know because the dog
has never been seen or heard from again.
(sighs)
- I don't know this.
(Rhett chuckles) I'm going to be guessing.
- Okay, got it.
- So I'm trying to guess what kinda dog they had,
that's the best I have to go on,
and I feel like a Maltese, though I don't know
exactly what that dog looks like,
sounds like a dog that they would have,
so I'm gonna go with Colette.
- Link, this is a little bit of a trick question,
because the answer is actually D.
Yes, despite initial reports, the dog has disappeared
from public knowledge.
- What? - Munchie the Shih Tzu,
however, was a dog Beyonce appeared to own
in 2004 but disappeared as well except for
one PETA article where her team responded
that the dog was alive and well and living
with Beyonce's cousin.
Yes, there's two dogs that Beyonce has owned
that have disappeared from the public.
Kinda like the other members of Destiny's Child.
(crew laughs)
- I bet they're happy. - Yeah.
- Just because you're not in the public eye,
doesn't mean you're not doing what you wanna do.
- Yeah, they're probably enjoying themselves
and finding sustenance and real meaningful things.
- Yeah, yeah.
- In a more recent music video, Ape (bleep).
That's not the name of the video,
I just wanted to say Ape (bleep)!
- No, it is. - The name of the video
is Ape (bleep)!
Beyonce raps-- - Mona Lisa.
- In the Louvre that she has a lot of money
and wears expensive fabrics.
♪ We live a lavish lavish ♪
♪ I get a spice of fabrics ♪
- Yeah.
- I get a spice of fabrics, is that?
- Expensive fabric.
One of the most expensive fabrics in the world
is called sea silk which is hand harvested
and woven from fibers found in giant clams
off the coast of Italy, then dipped into an ancient
secret mix of herbs until the fabric glitters like gold.
- Whoa. - This is an easy one.
It's yes or no.
Has Beyonce ever worn sea silk?
- Yes.
I mean after that description, she deserves no less,
and she should have it constantly.
At least in an underwear form, hey.
(chuckles awkwardly)
I mean she should have it as the deepest layer
that she's wearing at all times.
- Are you picturing that right now?
- Yes.
- So your answer's yes?
- Yes, all the way.
- Okay, has Beyonce ever worn sea silk?
♪ No, babe, no, babe ♪
- Oh so I got it wrong, but I feel great because
she sang directly to me.
- Yeah, we had Beyonce prepare that video
just for this question, just for you.
Congratulations. - She's telling me no.
Which is fine.
- Actually, the truth is, that sea silk fabric
can only be gifted.
It's made by one woman in the world and she pretty much
only gives it to sick people.
So until Beyonce gets sick, she ain't gonna be wearing it,
as underwear or otherwise.
- Well then I hope she never wears it.
- Okay, in the Grammy-nominated visual album Lemonade,
Beyonce literally shares her grandmother's recipe
for lemonade in a poetic interlude.
Now we have determined through extensive testing
the average time it takes to make Beyonce's
exact lemonade recipe,
something any true fan would have undertaken.
- You've done a time study? - Yes.
How long does it take?
Is it A: 16 minutes and 13 seconds using hand squeezing,
B: five minutes, 47 seconds using a lemon squeezer,
C: eight minutes, 24 seconds using hand squeezing,
or D: three shakes of a lamb's tail.
- She did not dictate hand or lemon squeezer squeezing,
so that was up to us, huh?
- Mhm mhm mhm mhm.
- I do like hand squeezing over lemon squeezing,
lemon squeezer squeezing.
- What do you like about hand squeezing?
- It's visceral and it's, Beyonce likes that too.
But it doesn't take 16 minutes.
So I'm blindly guessing C: eight minutes, 24 seconds worth
of hand squeezing, lemonade making power.
- Link, you're right!
- Yeah, I'm in the game! - Eight minutes
and 24 seconds with hand squeezing.
The recipe requires eight lemons, one pint of water,
half pound of sugar, the zest of half a lemon,
and the blood of Becky with the good hair.
(Link chuckles)
All right Link, you've got two right.
If you get this one right, you get to enjoy
some sweet lemonade-- - Taste the lemonade.
- Yes.
Although Beyonce has expensive habits,
most celebrities get offered free items.
The Queen's iconic Coachella performance featured
holographic fringe boots made custom by
Christian Louboutin, which were gifted free of cost.
Louboutin has an exclusive shortlist of celebrities
who get that type of swag.
Another shortlist, the Forbes ranking of America's richest
self-made women of which Beyonce is also a member.
- Okay, two lists.
- Okay, now the full list of Louboutin's
preferred celebs is a secret, but one of our
writer's friend's cousin's girlfriend works there
and exclusively confirmed the following information.
- What?
- One of Beyonce's cohorts on the Forbes list
is not deemed worthy of gifted custom Louboutins.
Of the following, listed in order of their net worth,
who's the shoeless loser?
- So between the-- - This is all true.
- Between the two lists, the Forbes list
and the Louis Vuitton list,
there's only one from the Louvis list that is,
the one on the Forbes list that won't get the boots.
Or something free.
- [Ellie] That would be Louboutin.
- Lou-vitton.
- It doesn't matter.
It's just expensive boots.
- They need to sue each other.
- Is it A: Oprah Winfrey, worth $3.1 billion with a B.
B: Kylie Jenner, worth a measly $900 million,
C: Madonna, $590 million, or D: Taylor Swift,
$320 million, and that last one, D, it's not a joke.
It's just true.
I'm giving you four choices.
- Who does Lou-vitton? - Louboutin.
- Louboutin. - Louboutin.
Loubouti?
- Not deemed worthy of free stuff.
I don't know what they would have against any
of these fine people.
Man, this is tough.
I wanna taste that lemonade though.
There's no way anyone's gonna deny Oprah anything.
Kylie, she's polarizing.
I mean Taylor Swift is polarizing.
Madonna used to be polarizing, but not anymore.
She's cool, she's like a founding forefather
of kuh, pop culture.
- Kuh-pop culture.
It's down to Kylie and Taylor for me,
because I think they could be polarizing.
So have to choose
Taylor Swift.
I think she's being denied.
- Mm.
Link, the answer is
B, Kylie!
You were so close!
Kylie may be worth $900 million,
but she still has to pay for these boots
just like a peasant. (crew laughs)
And that means that I'm going to squeeze lemon
in yo face in Good Mythical More.
I'm not gonna enjoy it though.
I really wanted you to win. (chuckles)
