Who has the most Instagram followers in the world?
Oh, Selena Gomez or Kylie because it is currently changing by the minute because TikTok has started a campaign to push Kylie over the edge because Selena was the person with the most followers.
Nah, Brett's full of it.
I think I'm right.
I said it's Kim.
Welcome back to Face Off, exclusively on The Michael Knowles Show, where modern-day gladiators square off on the topics that truly matter.
I'm Ben Davies, and I'm the guy who reads the cards today for your five-time champion, your host, Michael Knowles.
Mr. Davies, wonderful to be here on my show, as always.
Five-time champion should mean that I am undefeated on this show, but I'm recalling now that's not what that means, right?
That is correct, Michael.
You do have a blemish on your record?
Claven.
Klaven beat me.
I hate that.
Drew Klaven is the champion of this episode of Face Off.
I don't want to take this seriously.
Speaking of blemishes, you might notice I have this ash on my forehead.
It is not because I haven't showered in several weeks.
This is, in fact, Ash Wednesday that we are filming this show on.
And when I want to treat my skin, when I want to treat the actual problems on my skin, do you know where I turn?
I turn to Genucel.
More from Genucel in a second.
First, though, let's get into the game.
Well, after Michael's controversial loss, we knew that we had to get back on track.
With an easy win.
So we decided to welcome on the first woman to the show to enter the arena, the first of her name, Queen of the Comments, Protector of the Section, Breaker of Woke Chains, Brett Cooper.
So happy to be here, guys.
I'm honored to be the very, very first woman.
And you know, Michael, this should be an easy win for you.
Listen, I'm cool and hip and sexy and fun and young, but I do feel kind of like a fuddy-duddy sometimes in the context of the comment section, so we'll see.
We'll see how it goes.
I think it's gonna be great.
Michael does care deeply about baby mama drama, and Brett is the maven of internet culture, so what better topic to square off on than this?
It's Face Off, pop culture.
First question.
What is the highest-grossing movie domestically in 2022?
Your options are Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, Avatar, The Way of Water, Top Gun, Maverick, Jurassic World, Dominion, and What is a Woman?
A lot of sequels here.
Okay.
I think I have it.
Michael's still writing?
Mm-hmm.
He's writing a paragraph explaining his rationality.
Okay.
All right, Brett, show.
Top Gun.
Michael?
I said Avatar 2 Environmental Boogaloo.
The correct answer is Top Gun Mavericks.
Not a good start.
Domestically.
Now you were right worldwide.
Worldwide it was Avatar by about a billion dollars.
Wait, hold on.
So how did I get it wrong?
I said domestic.
Domestic.
Oh, because I read an article somewhere that said it was like the biggest grossing film ever.
OK, well, that's terrible.
Americans were fed up with the Avatar BS.
What they wanted was Tom Cruise looking hot.
That's what you got to think.
They don't want those weird blue alien things looking hot?
No, they get enough of that on TikTok.
They don't want any more.
All right, listen carefully to this one.
In 2022, according to Lawn Starter, calculating same-sex households and the presence of LGBTQ support groups and 19 other categories, what was the most LGBTQ-friendly city in America?
So what was the best and most gay city in America?
Is this a trick question?
There seems like an obvious answer to this.
I'll read your options.
This will help you a little bit.
Portland, Oregon.
Ugh.
Orlando, Florida.
Seattle, Washington.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
What?
There were a lot of factors, including equality and affordability, so that throws out some more expensive places that you may think of.
Well, plus, I mean, Mickey's been grooming those kids now for many decades, so... Okay, I'm kind of giving up my answer here, but... Fifteen seconds.
Yeah, the affordability throws out two cities right away.
All right, Brett, you ready?
What was that?
Let's do it.
Alright, what is it?
Fort Lauderdale, Michael.
I was just in Fort Lauderdale, and it seemed only moderately gay to me.
I said Orlando.
It was Fort Lauderdale!
No!
That's why we're away with it!
Yes!
In my defense, I grew up in New York.
I went to the gayest university in America.
I lived in L.A.
My measure, I think, is a little bit off.
All right, next question.
Who was the highest paid actress in 2022?
Margot Robey, Millie Bobby Brown, Gail Gadot, Zoe Zeldana.
Isn't it Margot?
It's not Margot, is it?
I've heard it both ways.
Oh, wait.
Margot?
Yeah, it's Margot.
I'm gonna, just for that, I'm putting her down.
Alright, Michael, what do you have?
I say Margot.
Is it my turn?
Yeah, it's your turn.
I pick Robert.
Margot Robey too?
Margot.
Yes, Margot.
Okay, you guys both got it right!
Hey, alright!
Michael's on the board.
Feeling a little better.
Alright, next question.
According to Billboard, what was the most popular song of the year?
And I'm not gonna give you options for this one.
You're not gonna give me options?
The only songs I know that have come out are the ones that you make me listen to on the show.
It's gotta be some Harry Styles thing, or a Taylor Swift song.
Oh!
You know, I'm just going to pick my favorite one.
It's probably not the right one, but it's my favorite of these pop songs.
Is Brett still thinking?
No, I'm just... Going back and forth?
Alright, what do you have, Brett?
I can't read it.
What is it?
Something Taylor Swift.
Nice.
From that album.
I can buy myself flowers.
I can hold my own hand.
I can love me better than you can.
Either you, Brad, or you.
Brad, do you want to tell them, or do you want me to tell them?
Michael, Michael.
What?
That song came out in 2023.
What?
I'm so hip that I thought it was older than it is?
I know, yeah.
You thought it was vintage.
Do I get the point for that?
If she gets a half point, I want a half.
It's obviously a Taylor Swift song.
It's actually not, and it varies from different sites, but according to Billboard, this year was Heat Waves by a British indie pop band called Glass Animals.
Oh!
How does it go?
I've never even heard this.
It's actually, it's a great song.
It's just I did not think that that was as mainstream as... Can you sing us a bar?
Absolutely not.
All right, next question.
According to Ranker, the open source ranking website, who was voted the sexiest man alive in 2022?
Who deserved it or who was voted?
Who was voted.
Okay.
It's gonna be somebody really ugly.
Henry Cavill.
Chris Hemsworth.
Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Reynolds, or Michael Knowles?
It's not who deserves it, though.
All right.
I'm going to have Michael go first for this one.
Who was voted, I'm gonna say, Henry Cavill.
All right, Brett?
I couldn't pick.
You couldn't pick?
You have to pick.
I love Ryan Reynolds, so I put a heart next to his name.
And I feel like I remember him winning something, but Michael B. Jordan seems like the wokest pick.
Like, you know.
Because he's a black man.
They wanted to hit some of the intersectional boxes.
Brett, I can't accept that.
You have to pick something.
Ryan Reynolds.
It was Michael B. Jordan!
Ah!
Damn it!
I almost had it.
That would have been bad.
But he's not the sexiest man alive.
He just isn't.
He's a fine looking guy, but he's not the sexiest man alive.
Well, that's your opinion, Michael.
Okay, what were the most popular baby names of 2022?
You can pick a girl name and a boy name.
It's going to be something stupid like Aspen or something.
Probably.
It's not going to be a normal name.
Of 2022 and 2023?
No, no, just 2022.
The year of all the births.
Give me a girl's name and a boy name.
It's like you were going to kick yourself.
Five seconds.
I hope it's one of Michael's children's names.
Okay, the girl, I'm gonna go a little more normal.
The boy, it's gonna be like... Michael, you gotta give me something.
Okay, alright.
Michael should be able to do this.
He's named two children.
I have, but I've given them normal names.
Alright, Brad, what do you have?
Really?
Can you say what your answer is?
So, I said, for a girl, Daisy.
I feel like that's coming back into style.
I know a lot of people who have named their daughters Daisy, a friend of mine.
And then for a boy, I've seen a lot of Styles because of Harry Styles.
No.
I mean, I remember when Khaleesi jumped to, like, one of the top tens because of him.
Like, because of Game of Thrones.
But, Michael, what do you have?
I said for the boy, Skylar, which could also be the name for the girl.
And for the girl, I said Mila, as like in Kunis.
I think that's coming back.
You are both dead wrong.
The most popular names, they've been the same for like three years now, is actually Olivia and Liam.
Liam, I had heard that.
Olivia's nice.
One Direction.
I actually kind of like Liam, too.
That's better than Apple or whatever people were naming him ten years ago.
You know what?
Both of those names are actually connected to Harry Styles, so I think I should get a half point because Liam connected to One Direction, obviously connected to Harry Styles, and then Olivia, Olivia Wilde dating Harry Styles, that was like my entire timeline of 2022.
And Liam Hemsworth left Miley Cyrus and gave us a great song.
Look at that.
Everything's coming.
It's all aligning.
You both make great arguments for the names.
Michael, is there a name of a product you want to shout out for this show?
There is, as a matter of fact.
Thank you for reminding me, Ben.
I want to mention one of my absolute favorite products out there.
That would be Genucel.
Go get your GenuCell today.
All right, back to the questions.
According to the Way Too Social website, which is not one of the top five things that attract women to men in 2022?
Being witty.
Clear, beautiful, and healthy-looking eyes.
Being wealthy.
Being intelligent.
Speaking to her true self.
Body posture.
Which one of those is not in the top five?
According to women.
Yeah, women saying that... Women deluding themselves.
Speaking to my true self.
Yeah.
Brett has an advantage here.
She does.
I know, but I'm not like other girls.
You're not like other girls.
I'm not like other girls, Michael.
You're a cool girl.
Okay, let me see.
I got it.
The eye one was so specific that I have to believe it's up there.
All right.
Michael, what do you have?
I said the lowest one of that list was going to be posture.
Brett?
Posture.
Being witty.
What?
Girls don't like to laugh as much as they used to apparently.
Wow.
That actually adds up because women these days can't take a joke.
They can't.
The wittier you are, the less acceptable you are.
Yeah, exactly.
That is a great point.
I couldn't figure out why that was the case.
That's gotta be it.
Well, no, because a man says anything that's remotely funny and they find offense with it.
I mean, look at the Tiger Woods situation where he did the tampon joke and they're like, oh my god!
Mmm, that's true, that's true.
I just wonder, are the women delusional?
Like, do they think, you know what I really look for in a man is, you know, X, Y, and Z, but really it's just like money, height, those piercing eyes that you talked about.
I don't know, I mean, I just don't know that it totally lines up with what they think they're attracted to and what they're actually attracted to.
All right, what was the most viewed video on YouTube in 2022?
The NFL Halftime Show with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige?
Mr. Beast, Why I Built a Wonka Chocolate Factory?
The Watch the Uncensored Moment Will Smith Smacks Chris Rock on Stage?
Or finally, First We Feast, Millie Bobby Brown Needs a Milkshake While Eating Spicy Wings?
I don't know who that is, but she keeps coming up in this show.
Really?
She's the lead of Stranger Things.
Is she related to Bobby Brown?
I don't think so.
Like got a little rough with Whitney?
I don't think so.
So, Halftime Show, Mr. Beast, Why I Built Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, Will Smith, Smackin' Chris Rock, First We Feast.
Alright, Michael, which one did you pick?
This lap.
Brett.
Mr. Beast.
Mr. Beast was second to the NFL Halftime Show apparently.
What?
People care about it that much?
It was like all the artists and then people were like re-watching it and I don't know.
I didn't know who Mr. Beast was until I saw this and then like so many views.
Really?
Yeah.
You know why I'm not totally surprised about the Halftime Show thing?
The next episode.
It's a great song.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
You know, like, da-da-da-da-da.
It's the mother-lovin'.
There we go, I got that part.
M-I-K-E.
Big Mike, mother-lover.
You know that song?
That's a great song.
Right now go to genucell.com/knolls.
People are raving about GenuCell skincare.
Like me.
I'm raving about it.
But other people are raving too.

Alright, next.
According to Wikipedia, what is the longest-running Broadway play?
Play or musical?
Probably both, right?
It would be my guess.
I think it was play, but it's also a musical.
It's like a square and a rectangle.
Are you saying that a musical is a type of play, or are you saying they're totally distinct?
I don't think they're distinct.
I just looked at the longest-running Broadway play, and that's what came up.
Okay.
But there is music.
I'm going to act as though.
Okay, then that makes it a musical.
All right.
Brett, what do you have?
Phantom of the Opera.
Michael?
It's Phantom.
It is Phantom!
Of course it's Phantom.
Obviously.
You know, it's closing this year.
Is it really?
Yeah, because of the economy and nobody's going to New York because it is a socialist hellhole and everybody's getting shot and stabbed there.
So why would you go spend $150 seeing Phantom?
So this will be one of the last times you can hear the music of the night.
Yeah.
I thought it was cats.
I thought I'd slipped you guys out.
It should be.
Alright.
Memories.
Currently, who has the most Instagram followers in the world?
Selena Gomez, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian.
Okay, so I have a bone to pick with this question because I'm gonna wait.
I'm gonna wait until after it's done.
Alright.
All right, let me, oh, I gotta do this.
Selena Gomez or Kylie, because it is currently changing by the minute, because TikTok has started a campaign to push Kylie over the edge, because Selena was the person with the most followers for literally an eternity, but literally last night on TikTok, they're blowing it up, and it was, like, inching.
Like, she was, like, 375 million, and then it was, like, Selena had 378 million, because it's literally changing.
Like, if you look at the track record, it has changed by, like, in the last 48 hours.
So I don't know where they're at right now.
It is changing quickly.
Michael?
No, Brett's full of it.
I think I'm right.
I said it's Kim.
I don't have any numbers or anything, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
You are both wrong.
The correct answer is Cristiano Ronaldo with 550 million followers.
That's like 150 million more than anyone else on this list.
That's so embarrassing.
I forgot about that.
And guess who's number two?
Another guy, Lionel Messi.
And he has over 100 million more.
Who are they?
What do they do?
Soccer players.
They're both soccer players?
Why do people love soccer so much?
It is wild that the visual social media side is dominated by two dudes.
That's insane.
I was so confident with that because it was literally dominating my TikTok.
And Selena used to have... She did used to have it.
She used to be the most.
Are they hot dudes?
Or are they just regular-looking, schlubby dudes?
No, they're good-looking dudes.
Okay.
Not like...
Not like Ryan Reynolds.
Not like some candidates for Sexiest Man of the Year.
Barack Obama, when we got these numbers, was $133 million.
Gotta go on a streak here, Michael.
Yeah.
All right, what singer holds the record for the most Grammy nominations?
These aren't wins, these are nominations.
Beyoncé, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Kanye West, or Ye.
Ye?
Is that what people call him?
Yay.
Has Mr. Davies pronounced one name correctly in this entire game?
I say Kanye.
I think Margot and Yee are finally going to make it.
You know, those two crazy kids.
All right, Brett.
Michael Jackson?
Michael?
I almost guessed Michael Jackson, with whom I share a first name, but instead I guessed Beyoncé, with whom I share a last name.
It is Beyoncé, who is tied with her husband, I think still, Jay-Z.
Look at that, you're moving on up in the world, Michael.
What was the most streamed TV show in 2022?
Stranger Things, The Office, Wednesday, Cocomelon, Ozark.
Or the first two again?
"Stranger Things," "The Office," "Wednesday," "Cocomelon," "Ozark." - No, mm-mm, wait.
Last minute change.
Alright, Michael, what'd you put?
I have a guess out of left field here.
I'm gonna guess Coco.
Brett?
The office.
You were both wrong.
It was Stranger Things, followed by Cocomelon.
Is anybody watching Stranger Things still?
Isn't everyone a lesbian on that show now or something?
Aren't they progressively making everyone... That's what I wrote down first, and that's the reason why I erased it.
Because I was like, there can't be that many people still watching it, but everybody still watches it.
I feel like The Office is a comfort show, so...
I couldn't get over once they made Steve's fast food girlfriend.
It was supposed to be a love story and at the end she's a lesbian.
I wrote off the show.
I assumed it was Cocomelon because that is just crack for little kids.
They are all glued to it.
I won't let it in my home, not even once.
Neither do I actually.
It is straight crack for kids.
Who was the most Googled person in the year 2022?
Andrew Tate, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Vladimir Putin, Amber Heard, or Chris Rock?
This is for the whole year.
This isn't just some short period.
Exactly.
It's really going to be a testament to whether our population cares more about the geopolitical state of our world or a domestic dispute.
All right, well, you give your answers.
I will tell you a fun fact.
The most Googled word, like if something else that wasn't a person, was Wordle, which I never played.
I didn't either.
I did play Wordle and it was great.
I loved it.
Good for you, Michael.
And the New York Times bought it for like a zillion dollars and ruined it.
All right, Brett, what do you have?
Putin with death in a second place.
All right.
I have no second or third place.
I'm giving it to Mr. Tate.
It was Johnny Depp.
Sorry, Brad.
Wow.
See, I wanted to do that and then I was like, you know what?
Stuff with Ukraine has been going on since, what, February of last year?
March?
March.
And so I thought, you know what, that would be an entire year.
I hope the American citizens are concerned enough.
But no.
No, no.
No, no.
I'm definitely concerned about the $100 billion that we've given.
But in terms of the actual day-by-day of this thousand-year conflict, I don't know.
All right, next question.
What is not the name of one of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's children?
This is not one of their names.
North, Future, Saint, Chicago, or Psalms?
Let me know if you need to hear those again.
Michael?
I'm guessing... future.
Brett?
Future.
You're both right!
It is future.
All right, now listen to this carefully, all right?
Who is Time Magazine's 2022 Hero of the Year?
Is that different than Person of the Year?
It is.
Huh.
I don't know who the Person of the Year is, though I was the Time Person of the Year in 2006.
A lot of people don't know that.
Oh, sure.
Okay, well, maybe I'm giving things away here.
Person of the Year was Zelensky.
So, Hero.
Hero of the Year.
Alright, five seconds.
Alright, Fred, what'd you get?
Kamala.
Kamala.
Michael?
I said Saint Greta of the Blessed Sailboat.
That's really close.
But it was the Women of Iran.
Oh!
The Women of Iran.
Yes.
Interesting.
I remember seeing that.
Oh, there was the whole protest over the hijab, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, so for this next question, since Brett kind of gave it away, she didn't completely get the answer correct.
There's another part to it, so let me read this to you carefully.
Who is Time's Person of the Year in 2022?
There's more to it than what Brett gave away.
How many Ys have they added to Zelensky's name now?
Last I checked, it was about seven.
I always add an additional one just for good measure.
Five seconds.
All right, Brett, what'd you get?
All right, Zelensky with the people of Ukraine.
I put down something similar, but I remembered something.
I don't know if I'm right about this.
Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine.
It's the spirit of Ukraine.
Whatever the heck that is.
I thought I remembered that.
Wow.
That's close.
What is the spirit of Ukraine for those listening?
Oligarchy and sex trafficking, I think.
Blue and yellow.
Yellow flowers on TikTok.
Who is the godmother of both of Elton John's sons?
Madonna.
Hold on, I gotta pause you there for a second, because some math isn't quite working out in my head.
Elton John, to my knowledge, does not have a wife, is that correct?
That is correct.
Doesn't have a girlfriend, is that correct?
That's correct.
Okay.
Alright.
So, your options are... His options were Madonna, Lady Gaga, Kate Bush, and Olivia Newton-John.
When did Mr. John give birth to these children?
Because I'm just trying to think of the era of friendship.
Yeah, that's good.
Who is Kate Bush?
Should I Google this, Michael, for us?
When the baby is.
I have a guess.
How old are 2010 and 2015 was the year they were born, I'm getting told.
Okay.
2010 and 2013.
Oh, okay.
I'm sure that helped you immensely.
They're 10 and 12.
Well, I mean, that makes it... 10 years ago, Lady Gaga still... I wouldn't, you know... She was, like, really obscure.
Like, she hadn't gotten mainstream yet, only cool guys like me.
Obviously.
Well, that was, like, meat dress era.
And as a, obviously, a father, a birth giver, like Elton John.
I don't know if I would want my kids.
He is an interesting guy, though.
Ugh, man.
Maybe this.
Five seconds.
All right, Mike, what do you have?
I'm gonna say Olivia Newton-John.
Brett?
Madonna.
Lady Gaga.
What?!
I almost picked Gaga.
We would have been tied.
I talked myself out of that.
Yep.
Next question.
Which artist made history as the youngest winner of the Grammy's four main categories?
Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.
Who has the record for being the youngest to do that?
And this happened in 2022?
No, this happened recently, within the last... I'll give you maybe five years.
Oh, this one's easy.
All right, what do you have, Brett?
Billie Eilish.
Michael.
I also said Billie Eilish.
How do you like that?
Yeah, you both got it right!
Woo!
I just remembered she's young.
I don't really know anything else about her.
Olivia Rodrigo could have blown her out of the water, but I think she only won a singular one.
What is the most watched YouTube video of all time?
Probably some obscure meme from, like, 2010.
Michael, do you remember?
What does the fox say?
Oh, wow.
That's a deep cut.
The oldest meme I remember is the dancing baby GIF back from before Brett was even a glint in her parents' eyes.
Obviously.
That was, like, a 90s meme.
Charlie bit my finger.
Charlie.
That was what I was thinking of, but you just said it, so now I'm thinking it's not.
I was actually just about to write that, and then you convinced me not to.
I have absolutely no clue.
You must have watched a YouTube video of all time.
All time.
Five seconds.
Okay, I got it.
All right, what do you have, Brett?
I have no idea.
It's something stupid, I'm sure.
I said some video game thing, because those guys playing video games get all the views.
Guys, it's Baby Shark.
Come on.
What's Baby Shark?
The Baby Shark?
Oh!
Oh!

That was in that kind of same era.
It's a woman.
She looks like that vegan teacher on TikTok and she goes, peel the avocado, peel the avocado.
And then she has a little dance.
She goes, guac, amole, guac, guac.
That's like in the same vein as like Baby Shark to me.
I like that.
I just learned one the other day about a pizza.
You ever hear this?
I am a pizza with extra cheese.
From tomato sauces squeezed, I am a pizza.
Now eat me up.
You ever hear that?
I'll put that on a record, so if you like it, the God can.
Alright, next question.
How many children does Nick Cannon have?
Current, like, what about unborn babies?
So, he, not one, as far as I know, and I'm not counting pregnancy, there was a recent one, which is why it was talked about a little while ago.
That's right, yeah, okay.
So, including the one that was then born after that.
Alright, Michael, because we have no idea how many people he is impregnated currently.
Sewing the seats.
Yeah.
I'm gonna say, I kind of forget how to even do this symbol.
Nine or Aleph Noll, Countable Infinity.
Brodeo.
Nine.
Twelve.
What?
Twelve.
Wow, I almost guessed eleven.
Twelve over the course of eleven years by six baby mamas.
Oh, impressive.
I forgot how to do Aleph Noll, so I just did pi with another line underneath it.
Do I get a bonus point for that?
Absolutely not.
All right, there you have it.
7-6, Michael Knowles is your face-off pop culture champion.
No way!
Baby, all right!
Now we're talking.
Yeah, that was really close.
I'm actually bummed, though, because I had some awesome questions if we did have a tie-break.
I tell you what, I don't... I did not necessarily expect to do as well as I usually do going into this.
Brett is much younger and hipper and cooler than me.
I am now an old man, a fuddy-duddy.
I don't go to nightclubs.
I don't go to discotheques.
That's a lie.
I know it.
I want to do the tiebreaker questions.
And furthermore, I want to do the ad read for Brett Cooper.
That would not be a punishment to me.
That would be a great privilege.
I adore Brett Cooper.
I would love to do it.
So I don't care who wins the tiebreakers.
Wow.
I win, I lose.
I will be doing the ad read at the end anyway.
I mean, all right, Michael.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
All right, let's do it.
This is another one where you have to listen very carefully, because this actually involves both of you personally, okay?
Because this has been one of the bonus questions.
According to IMDbPro, who has the highest total box office gross for credited films?
That means you have to be credited and you can't be playing yourself.
Between the two of us or between my back?
Between the two of you.
Oh.
I'm going to have to guess.
Unless this is some trick question, I think I know the answer.
I said it very carefully.
Ten seconds.
I don't see how I could get this wrong right now.
Alright, what do you have, Brett?
I said Michael, because I've done more TV than movies, so I don't think... I've been in, like, three things.
I do not have a lengthy career as an actor, so I said Brett.
You are wrong.
It is Michael for No Space, Big Spaces, where you played Keith, and it made $1.3 million domestically.
Who's Keith?
Wow.
And then Brett, though, if you include Uncredited, she was in the parental guidance movie that made $120 million, and she was the speech student.
I was in an uncredited role in that.
But I've done more TV, so that's why I thought, maybe not.
Wow, that's amazing.
So I'm basically George Clooney, is what you're telling me.
You are.
You're George Clooney of The Daily Wire.
That's amazing.
So, Brett Cooper with $120 million.
That puts you guys both behind me at $139 million.
$139 million?
Yep.
What is our IMDB scores though?
Like our ranking?
I want to hear those.
Brett is ahead at 6,000.
What?
What is my score?
I think you're at like 15 or something like that.
15?
She gets 6,000, I get 15?
That's outrageous.
Alright Michael, would you do the honors?
Telling the audience why they should watch the comment section with Brett Cooper?
I actually would happily do that.
I adore Brett Cooper and the comment section.
I think that she is just a marvelous, wonderful thing to happen to pop culture.
You should watch the show constantly.
You should get Brett's hot takes.
And then you should follow her lead.
And instead of following the entire rest of the pop culture and going off and becoming some, like, transsexual, demon-infested, just depressed grotesquerie and sort of half simulacrum of a human being, you can follow Brett and live a good, happy, flourishing life and learn things and enjoy yourself.
That was the best ad read I could have ever asked for.
It came from the heart.
Oh, thank you, Michael.
Well, if you haven't already, go head over to the comment section with Brett Cooper or YouTube page, subscribe, then watch everything there.
Maybe even post a comment and get the full experience.
