It is not A, and you are getting completely destroyed.
It is C, your hands, your team, your vibe.
Fate of Ophelia lyrics.
Is Sabrina Carpenter secretly pushing trad values through her practically noon music videos?
Are Labubus actually pocket demons?
I don't know.
I'm just a regular suburban dad who thought Ice Spice was a winner candle.
But you know who might have the answer to these pop culture-defining mysteries?
Michael Knowles and Mary Morgan.
One of them, post-pop culture crisis, which has pop culture in the title.
The other thinks pop culture peaked when Bach dropped his six conciertos.
Here's how it works.
Conciertos?
Concieros.
Concierge.
Is he a Mexican?
Oh, man, this is off to a bad start.
Sorry, keep going, Mr. Davies.
Here's how it works, right?
Well, I'll read a question.
Each host has 30 seconds to scribble down their answers.
The loser, well, they'll have to deliver a glowing 30-second ad for the winner and publicly declare them the real Delulu Giga Chad Sigma Rizzler main character, Maven of pop culture.
This is face-off pop culture.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, it's great to be here, Mr. Davies.
Thank you for having me on my own show.
My answer for who our guest will be today is Mary Morgan.
Is that what you mean?
That's good.
What are you talking about?
That looks adorable.
That's very pretty.
What are you talking about?
Erease that immediately.
What?
Hold on.
I don't, that's nice.
Mr. Davies, is that?
That is going to be the most, that's going to be the most value NFT of 2025.
Most of these questions will focus on 2025 pop culture, but maybe there'll be some curveballs.
We'll see.
Are y'all ready for the first question?
I'm ready.
All right.
I think so.
One.
What is the price of the most expensive Laboo Boo doll ever sold?
This is closest without going over.
Closest without going over.
Of the Laboo Boo doll, which are they're like Lululemons, I hear.
I can't spoil it.
I'm going to say five seconds.
All right, Knowles, be a gentleman.
What do you got?
1.5 million?
I said $1,400.
Well, one of them was made of gold.
They made a gold.
It would be very expensive.
No, they did not make a gold.
I also, I erased the dollar sign because it depends on the currency how much this means it's worth.
Hold on.
You can't pick any currency.
You can't simultaneously answer you on rupees and pick a currency.
Pick a currency.
Well, this is not going very well because neither one of you were close at all.
The correct answer is $170,000.
Let's go, babe.
Because closer without going over.
Yeah, it's closer.
So if you let Mary Morgan get away with Yen, then she actually would go rubles or something and she would win.
Wow.
Oh, let's go.
How much was it?
$170,000.
It was a life-size Laboo Boo.
It's life size.
Did they make one out of gold?
What does that mean?
They're not alive.
Life size.
Like, depending on how tall you are, it's kind of like rupees.
But is it like Mary Morgan life size or is it like, you know, David Cohn life size?
It's a great question.
Those are very different lives.
You know, another great question.
Yes.
Okay.
The next one.
All right.
Sabrina Carpenter's new album, Man's Best Friend, was released in August of 2025 with the album cover going viral, leaving everyone and basically every man thinking the same thing.
How tall is Sabrina Carpenter?
Post without going over.
How tall is Sabrina?
Yeah.
I know this one.
It's in her song.
Whoa.
Not looking good, Michael.
She sang it.
It's in her lyrics.
I wonder if she lied or if the internet lied.
We'll see.
All right, what do you have?
I'm going to get it wrong.
Oh, ladies first.
Okay.
All right.
This is the lyric.
Five feet to be exact.
Michael.
She leaves quite the impression.
Oh, I leave quite an impression.
Four feet to be so I almost put five feet to be exact, but it's closest without going over.
And I did four foot 11.
It is five feet exactly.
Hey.
That was against my better feelings.
But in those huge platform heels that she wears, she's like maybe your height, Michael.
Yeah, she might be.
Is she petite in her videos?
I've never really noticed her relative to other men.
It's really hard to tell me.
Her videos, like the music.
Yeah, like I see her.
I've watched two of her videos now, I think at least.
And she doesn't, five feet is very short.
She doesn't seem that short.
Maybe the guys are all little al Pacinos.
I don't know.
It's the perspective thing.
They probably have her standing on a milk crate or something.
That's show business.
And Michael, when he analyzes her music videos, he's always thinking about the height.
Always all the time.
How tall are you, Mary Morgan?
I'm 5'1, to be exact.
Towering over.
5'1 flat.
Why didn't I get that?
I kind of mog her.
Mog her.
You mog her.
You mew her.
All right, number three.
As we know, 2024 was the Hoctua summer.
Which viral phrase dominated 2025?
Is it A, Bones Day?
No Bones Day.
It's giving.
Brain Rot Summer, Muse Summer.
Maybe Muse as in the Muses or Mew is in the word I just said.
Muses.
As in the Muses.
Muse.
No.
None of these are the correct answer.
Literally, none of these are the correct answer.
I have my answer.
Mary Morgan, you got to get on the TikTok and figure out what all the kids are twitching about.
You know?
There was no summer anything this summer.
There's no anything summer.
My good friend Google says.
I don't know where any of this comes from.
Yeah.
Maybe you didn't.
Mary Morgan, maybe you didn't get invited.
Maybe only Mr. I just certainly didn't get invited.
Maybe it's only Mr. David.
I've heard that like I'm officially unknown because I was alive during 9-11.
That makes you unknow.
It's not if you remember 9-11 now.
It's just if you were alive during 9-11.
I was like 28 during 9-11.
No, I was 11, actually.
I was 11.
Really, I was.
Same.
All right.
What do you have?
I just put Brain Rot Summer because I don't know what other term it could have been.
And I put 6'7 as a footnote.
What did Michael write in cursive?
What is that?
I wrote it's giving.
It's giving.
Wow.
It ages you, Michael, just like your cursive.
It's actually Brain Rot Summer, which is why Jacob's having the best summer of his life.
What is the 6'7?
That's not real.
Well, don't get into the 6'7 because we may.
We may get it later.
No, I'm keeping that in mind.
Let's go.
All right.
There was no Brain Rot Summer, though.
Have you been around?
Okay, there was no Brain Rot Summer.
All right.
Next up, the new Grand Theft Auto, number six, takes place in a fictional U.S. state.
Which real state is it based on?
And I mean, maybe they'll come out this year.
Who knows?
Probably not.
Michael may actually play this one.
This one's pretty, this one is easy, right?
You're going to draw it too?
He's going to quickly erase it.
What's going on there?
I feel like I can see it.
So I'm cheating by looking at your board.
Can you see what I'm writing?
Vaguely, yeah.
But there's like more, there's more flourish than that.
Yeah, I wasn't really creative with my body.
Oh, yeah.
I said California.
And that's Gavin Newsome.
That's your genuine answer?
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, no.
No, it's Laura.
It's Vice City.
No, I was thinking of San Andres.
Oh.
That one was obvious.
Michael, my future's tied to you.
The fact that you missed that is just.
No, I knew, I knew it was a reboot of one of the two, and it was the only one that I ever played was Vice City, but I just confused it because San Andres was the LA1.
Wow.
We reviewed the trailer on your show.
We talked about it.
I had so much Tylenol this morning.
I'm sorry.
I just over-dosed on Tylenol.
What do you think of my Gavin Newsom?
I'm not even a gamer and I knew.
Yeah, I'm really into drawing.
You're Gavin Newsome.
Is it okay?
I don't know.
He's a little bit more vivacious than the real Gavin Newsome.
Than that just American psycho cadaver.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
All right.
All right.
Next up, how many major tabloid level relationships has Taylor Swift been in since entering public life in 2008?
This is closest without going over.
This is not like high school mystery boyfriends or whatever.
This is like official celebrity, you know, like track relationships.
Could have had a song written about it.
Right.
Since 2008.
Closest without going over.
I think I know.
It's because she's a witch.
Do I have to not go over to win?
Right.
You have to not go over.
But you can get it exactly like you're five foot.
That one's going to be.
This is risky.
Okay.
I'm nervous.
I got to get my board off camera.
Why?
We got to frame this better next time.
I should see in my numbers.
Well, it's like blurry.
It's fine.
It's 18.
Oh.
I think you went way over.
No, I put 13.
No.
All right.
Y'all both collectively lose because it was 12.
Damn it.
I knew it was 12.
I thought it was.
She's a witch.
I think that her 13 obsession, like she's like obsessed with the number 13, it has to be the 13th guy that she marries.
So maybe, maybe that means she'll break up with Travis.
I don't know.
I thought that was a witch.
I thought I could force the reality to bend to my will by confidently saying 18, but I am not a witch.
Like that lady in Delaware.
I'm not a witch.
All right.
What's the score currently?
This is bad.
Ask in control room.
3-1 Mary.
All right.
This is when the comeback starts right now.
This is great.
I feel good about this because I learned on yes or no that I'm not competitive enough and I'm really bad at following rules.
Oh, Michael, this is your shot.
Get that bot question.
Let's go, baby.
Here we go.
Which social content format rose the most in popularity in 2025?
Was it long form live streams, 30-second TikTok duets, vertical shorts under 15 seconds, full screen VR videos?
Which of those four?
Which was the most popular?
Which rose the most in popularity.
So it's, it's like about it's acceleration, not velocity, right?
It's about the growth.
Where's the energy at?
You got to be a hop pop culture maven like me to know, but it's obvious.
It's obvious.
You ready?
All right.
What do you have?
I did long form live streams.
Not even close.
15 seconds.
The correct answer was.
Faith in humanity.
Which is bad for both of our shows.
It's the vertical shorts under 15 seconds.
Yeah.
All right.
You're right, though.
It is bad for the shows.
But at least I get a point.
I was too optimistic.
Wow.
That's good stuff, huh?

Which film became the most viewed Netflix movie ever?
This is before Elon Musk completely nuked the platform.
Well, I don't know about nuking the platform, but which film became the most viewed Netflix movie ever?
I have a pretty there's been some good ones.
There was like Bird Box and a few of those like that, but that's crushed it.
I don't, I watch like one television show a year, possibly two.
The biggest Netflix movie ever.
Say, okay, I think I have it.
I think, okay, I've got it.
That was a long title.
Listen, it's the biggest movie ever.
All right, what do you have?
Mary Morgan.
Knives out.
Hmm.
I said Big Medea's House 7.
The correct answer is K-pop demon hunters.
Ah, shoot.
I knew that.
I hate that.
It got 541 million views in 28 days, which is wild.
That was for 2025.
I was just thinking like the most popular of all time.
This still, this is the most popular of all time.
There's also Tyler Perry's Big Media's 7 came out in 2022.
So I also, I guess, was thinking about it that way.
Brutal.
That's frustrating.
That's crazy.
I also, I need to point out, I think Mary Morgan is very delayed here.
And I think that's giving her a big advantage.
I think her stream is delayed and it's giving her an advantage.
I'm watching you put up your answer while I'm still writing mine.
It's outrageous.
It's outrageous.
Cats out of the bag here.
Speaking of views, how many Taylor Swift music videos currently have over 1 billion views on YouTube?
Closest without going over.
Just for reference, you know, the true pop star.
Sabrina Carpenter doesn't have a single one over a billion yet, but your girl Taylor's got a couple.
She has a couple.
I don't even know how many, I don't know how many music videos Taylor Swift has.
He just gave us the answer.
She said, he said, she has a couple.
A couple is two.
So did you, you just said it's two.
Close without going over, Michael.
All right.
Shoot your shot.
All right.
It's like, is he lying?
Is he a reliable narrator?
Is he a reliable moderator?
Yeah, I think he's trying.
He's trying to lead us away from this.
Because he's going to be like, it's going to be like 10.
He's going to be like, no, like a couple just means more than one or whatever.
I was like, I know what it means.
It means two.
But I don't know, maybe.
Or is it like a double, triple reverse Uno card?
I'm just trying to keep it competitive with this delay.
I don't want to throw Mary Morgan off the scent with this delay.
I know the delay.
That's really, that's messing me up too.
She might have, with the delay, she might have traveled into the future, looked it up on YouTube, come back, and then written down the number.
I'm thinking about it now and I'm thinking Bad Blood for sure has a billion views.
Blank Space for sure has at least a billion views.
Maybe Look What You Made Me Do.
I think that would have a billion views.
Yeah, Dancing in the Moonlight probably has like a trillion views.
Her best one hasn't quite cracked a million.
It's at 950 million.
Tootie Fruity had a quadrillion views.
I don't really know any Taylor Swift songs.
I've heard of Bad Blood.
Okay, I say two.
I stick by two.
Two.
I said four.
I don't know why.
I'm not confident in it, but the correct answer is five.
Mary Morgan pulls ahead more.
Uh-huh.
Yay.
She actually feels good to be good at something.
There's two over 3.5 billion, which is the blank space and blank space and shake it off.
You said she had a couple.
You lied.
I couldn't just be like, oh, she has one.
I'd be like, you know, a couple, a few, like, whatever.
A couple and a few are different.
You said a couple.
Fuse three couples.
Yeah.
I know.
I didn't say a thruple.
How many of the views are bots?
Like a lot of the YouTube views are bots anyway.
Great question.
You know what else is a great question?
Number nine.
Someone needs to turn the air on because it's heating up and it's about to get serious.
Because I can tell that Mary Morgan wants to choke Michael out with his new Mayflower silk ties available now.
And I know what Michael's feeling.
Michael's feeling a little 6'7, if you know what I mean.
What did I just mean?
A little 6'7.
Yeah.
I was kind of hoping 6'7 would be the answer to one later on and I could just use my if Michael's thinking 6'7.
Like what is he?
What is he thinking?
Like how he goes in the ad reading.
Things are heating up.
Mary Morgan's beating me by like 100 points.
It's heating up though.
But you can pull ahead here.
Can I?
I don't know.
It's 6'7.
It's 6'7.
You want to know what it means when someone goes like this?
I need you to write down 6'7.
Like, give me, what does that mean for this 2025 term?
Well, I know where it comes from.
Do you know the basketball player?
It's a basketball thing?
Hold on.
Now I gotta change my answer.
Wait.
It's a couple of people.
You're giving us hints.
Yeah.
I forget the name of the basketball player, but I know the name of where it comes from.
Do you know what 420 means?
Apparently it means marijuana.
I think by the end of this, I'm going to be the pop culture Maven.
I'm just going to win the award.
420 is also Hitler's birthday.
Did you know that?
I'm just trying to prove I know something about pop culture.
I have an okay answer.
It's like part of the answer.
You know what's even better than okay?
Michael Knowles' Mayflower Silk Cigar is available on dwshop.com.
Silk cigars, he says.
He's selling my silk cigar ties.
This is a distortion.
Mayflower.
This is a complete Shonda.
All right, what do you have?
I say it means moderately acceptable.
Like, it's not like it's, you know, on a scale of one to 10.
It's like 6'7.
Skrilla.
I think this is the name of the rapper that made the song that was used to like over the videos of the basketball player that you mentioned, Ben.
You are that is correct.
And that is kind of the origin of the term, but that's not what the term means.
What's it mean?
Does it mean moderately acceptable?
I think I know what it means now.
It means nothing.
It's just like Dada.
It's like nothing.
It's ah, 6'7.
I love Dada.
I gotta kick it.
Wow.
Yeah, Skrilla.
Skrilla like Skillet.
I know Skillet.
They're a Christian band.
I've never listened to Skrilla.
I've listened to Skrillex.
Is he allowed to say what they're doing?
But like, we have to say Skrilla.
That might be offensive to many.
I'm asking.
I don't know.
All right.
Next question.
No more of the S-word.
Yeah, before we get knocked off YouTube.
What does Taylor Swift pledge allegiance to in her new song, The Fate of Ophelia?
And for Michael, if you don't know, Ophelia is a popular character at a very popular play.
Oh, thanks for informing me.
Yeah, yeah.
He doesn't know that.
No.
Can we give multiple answers?
Yeah, I want to give you A, B, C, and D.
So the first option is she pledged allegiance to the land, the sea, and the sky.
D, your pants, your feels, my guy.
C, your hands, your team, your vibe.
D, the American flag.
This is what Ophelia pledges allegiance to?
This is what Taylor pledged allegiance to in her song, The Fate of Ophelia.
I watched your reaction to the music video.
You should know this.
I should.
I know, but I forgot.
It's been like two days since I saw it.
That was the only one.
Can you read the answers to the song?
I'm honored.
Is it the land, the sea, and the sky?
Your pants, your feels, my guy, your hands, your team, your vibe, or the American flag.
It should be the American flag is what it should be.
It's not.
She hates it.
Can I move the purr to a different answer?
You can.
Thank you.
I will allow it.
The American flag.
I can't get the trill, man.
Thanks.
I hate it.
You gotta be hell of a Mediterranean for that, you know?
I was trying to give Michael hints with that because he does it on all the shows now just to make people uncomfortable.
All right.
This is getting weird, man.
It's getting weird.
Weird episode.
I think it's the delay.
What do you have?
I put C because I know my Taylor Swift.
It's A.
It's not.
It is not A, and you are getting completely destroyed.
It is C, your hands, your team, your vibes.
Travis Kelsey, your team, your vibe, your hands.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm pulling up the lyrics.
What's that song called, Ophelia?
I'm not even a Swifty.
Like, I'm kind of a hater, but I'm a studied hater.
Fate of Ophelia lyrics.
The play is called Hamlet, and out of the guy who Shakespeare wrote it.
Fate of Ophelia lyrics.
It just came out.
Keep it 100 on the land, the sea, the sky.
Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes.
I was so confident.
She is a Swifty.
That's so cringy.
Why do the Chiefs get a shout out on the song?
What do they have to do with anything?
Is that a Chiefs thing?
She's talking about his team.
Yeah, Travis Kelsey plays the Chiefs.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
They have a losing record since she released the song, though.
Coincidence?
They didn't ask to be involved in this.
No.
All right.
Number 11.
Which actress is rumored to be shifting towards maximalist glam in 2025?
Is it A, Zendaya?
B, Florence Pugh.
C, Sabrina Carpenter.
D, Emma Stone.
Is Sabrina Carpenter an actress?
Yes, she started out as an actress on Disney.
Interesting.
Name that show.
For a bonus point.
Hannah Montana.
I can do it.
It's Girl Meets World, right?
Hannah Montana.
It's not Hannah Montana.
Bluey.
Was it Bluey?
Who was the first one you said?
Zendaya?
Florence Pugh.
No, that's Zendaya.
That's how it's pretty.
Zendaya?
He doesn't like it.
Florence Pugh, Sabrina Carpenter.
Maximalist Glam.
Y'all are both really into fashion, so I figured this would be a real nail biter here.
Yeah, going it's not going to be Hermione.
She's like gone very feminist, right?
So it's going to be, I don't know.
She wasn't on the list.
Maximalist.
I don't know what that is.
Hermione's on the list, right?
Didn't you say Emma Watson?
Yeah.
No, he said Emma Stone, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, Emma Stone.
Oh, Emma Stone.
Yeah.
Oh, well, Emma Stone.
I don't know.
Is that a smiley face?
This has been the most educational piece of content that Michael Knowles has produced in 2025.
Without question.
We're learning so much.
Hold on.
Is it a portrait?
Sabrina Carpenter.
It's Sabrina Carpenter.
Let's go.
No.
Oh, let's go.
It's not Emma Stone.
I was going off of Emma Stone's Vogue cover.
She was in the cover of the September issue for she's very pretty.
She's very beautiful, but no, she's not, she's not glam.
We need my girl Sabrina for the glam.
Yeah.
I guess not.
Yeah.
But my portrait could have been anybody.
That could have been Zendaya or Zendaya as Mr. David.
It could have been me.
That could have.
That could have.
I should have saved yours.
I should have had a separate board.
Speaking of women celebrities, which female celebrity has the most husbands?
A, Drew Barrymore.
B, Kim Kardashian.
C, Scarlett Johansson.
D, Jennifer Lopez.
Which celebrity has had the most husbands?
J-Lo has had a lot of engagements, but I don't remember how many of them actually culminated in a marriage.
Hmm.
We'll do closest without going over.
Are you doing a portrait again?
Wait, no, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Closest?
Yeah, yeah, no.
Michael Strassell.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
What do you have, Mary?
I put J-Lo.
I said Hallie Berry.
She's been engaged like seven times, right?
You put Hallie Berry on.
Hallie Berry.
It's Hallie Berry.
It's uncanny.
She had that short haircut for a while.
Remember when she was kissing the guy from the pianist?
Remember?
Adrian Brodell.
You don't remember that?
Yeah.
Anyway, that's why I did the short hair.
The correct answer is J-Lo at four, all the rest have been married three times.
I really know my stuff.
I need to factor.
But I just thought if you've been engaged like seven times, like J-Lo, at least some of them actually ended in a marriage.
Past.
I wonder how many times, yeah, she's been engaged.
But Hallie Berry.
It's a lot.
Hallie Berry was married to David Justice.
I remember that.
New York Yankee.
Yeah, Eric Benet and Olivier Martinez.
But she had other partners, Gabrielle Aubrey and Van Hunt.
But they didn't get married.
Kim kind of takes the, she takes the prize for the shortest marriage, though.
Remember?
She had a 72-day long marriage.
Chris Humphreys, yeah.
All right.
Next question.
Bad Bunny was just announced at the Super Bowl halftime show performer.
Which of the following is one of his songs?
Is it A, Senoriti, B, Dakati, C, Mamasiti, or D, Margheriti?
I'm going to say it is Southern sauce.
This is like, remember in the 2000s when rappers would be like, like, shizzle, varizzle, whatever.
That's what it sounds like, but the Mexican version.
Okay.
So let's see.
One of these is real.
USA.
Yeah.
One of these is real, and one of these has 1.5 million views on YouTube.
Well, I definitely can't spell the one that I'm going to put as my answer.
So I think it's the most realistic.
Signoriti, Dakiti, Mamasiti, Margariti.
Which one of those is real?
I got it.
What do you got?
Takate.
It's Takate.
I don't remember which one that was, but I put B. You are both correct.
Yeah, let's go.
Is it the same one?
Okay.
It's the hardest to spell and pronounce.
So that was my guess.
Margariti was too.
I don't listen to Bad Bunny.
Yeah, no.
Number 14.
What percentage of adults have had at least one romantic or intimate relationship with an AI system closest without going over with?
And we're defining adult as 18 plus.
Yes.
This is pop culture.
Okay.
It's modern relationships.
Yeah.
They say they have or that they would.
Have.
This has already occurred.
Oh.
Apparently.
At least one romantic or intimate relationship with an AI system.
Like they do weird porn stuff with it.
Couldn't tell you.
You couldn't tell me.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Closest without going over.
Remember.
The guilty fleeth when none pursueth, Mr. Davies.
It's like 1.5 million.
Wait, are you looking for a percent or a number?
Percent.
Percent.
Just a couple of percent.
Just a couple of percent.
Don't worry.
Six, seven.
Six, seven, couple percent.
All right.
I have a doomer answer.
It's quite high.
Michael, yeah.
And this is a doomer answer for me.
I would say one percent of American adults, which is a shocking number of people.
I said because you think people apparently you're underestimating yourself.
I think you must be like a basket of roses because the real doomer answer is 28%.
28%.
That's fake.
No.
Multiple articles.
We were talking about this.
We were looking up this morning.
No.
I mean, whatever.
You figure, okay, so it's guys.
How many guys watch porn?
It's got adult guys got to be 80% or something, at least 70%.
And then if the idea is this is just like new porn, so you're like 70% of guys, but that's still, yeah, that takes you to like 30% of the country.
Wow.
Crazy.
Yeah.
And I saw a different survey that said like something like 45% responded that they would have a relationship with some sort of AI system.
And I'm guessing about like half of them would actually do it if the opportunity arose.
Yeah.
Doomer.
This is our future.
It's very doomer.
I've long thought once they think they're not going to create new humans.
Well, yeah, well, that's true.
I always thought once they figure out AI and robots, and then porn immediately affects any new technology.
So they'll basically make the AI, AI, porn robot sex slaves.
At that point, the human race will go extinct because there'll be no more children.
Yeah.
And it's interesting that Elon Musk is kvetching all the time about the birth rate decline, and yet he is encouraging men to take up AI girlfriends with Grok.
Yeah.
That's quite ironic.
Yeah.
He doesn't make them kind of anime and weird, though.
Maybe he's just trying to like throw them off.
I don't know.
Yeah.
They're weirdly sexy, though.
Isn't that weird?
Speaking of sexy, Olivia Rodrigo had beef with an artist over their shared ex, Joshua Bassett.
Who was this person?
Is it Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, or Doja Cat?
Who also dated this guy?
Joshua Bassett.
I know this one.
How was that for a stumbled segue?
What's the lore?
It's the lore in one of Olivia's songs that was viral on TikTok.
I hated it.
What's nice is we're not even gonna have to read Michael's complex when he reveals this.
It's gonna be so uncanny.
You want to have to say, are we getting a torso this time?
You maybe don't.
Hold on.
I'm scared.
Yeah, okay.
No, all right.
There we go.
And yeah.
It's Doja Cat.
No, that would be like predatory.
It was Sabrina.
It is Sabrina.
Sabrina.
Do you ever see in Tom and Jerry?
In Tom and Jerry, this was from like the 60s.
I was playing them for my kids.
They have this like really sexy cat.
This like hot.
I remember.
You know, the one that's like, and anyway, that's what I pictured Doja Cat to be.
Yeah, she has like red lipstick on and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Olivia's song says like you're probably with that blonde girl and she's talking about Sabrina.
Wow.
But it was all over a guy that looks 12 anyway.
How old?
How old is Sabrina?
Joshua Bassett.
I'm sure he's a nice guy.
Sabrina?
I think Sabrina is 25.
Okay.
Now.
Not then.
How old's Doja Cat?
A little older than Olivia Rodrigo.
How old's Doja Cat?
She's the older woman.
Doja Cat?
Let me guess.
I think that Doja Cat is in her 30s.
I could be wrong.
So, do you know that would make her 210 years old if she were Doja Dog?
In dog nurse.
Is that math correct?
Did you just like nail that?
I think so.
I think so.
I have no idea.
I'm not going to fact-check you on that.
Thank you.
No, Michael, this is almost as doomer as the AI relationship question, but you are losing 9-4 to Mary Morgan right now.
That's 6'7, is what that is.
There's still time to come back.
All right, here we go.
Next up: a popular internet theory claims which male music artist is married to a woman who stalked him since childhood based on viral photos of her appearing in the background of his life for years.
Is it A Kid Leroy?
B, Justin Bieber.
C, Bryson Tiller.
D, Hi, Dallason.
Michael knows this.
I actually, I have this one pretty well done.
He's down the rabbit hole in this one.
This is kind of a layup.
This one, this story was huge.
Yeah.
He's a big Kid Leroy fan.
All right, what do you have?
I said E for Emmanuel Macron.
I hope that doesn't cost us a billion dollars.
Correct answer is B, Justin Bieber.
It is Justin Bieber.
Justin Debo.
She stalked Mrs. Bieber stalked him.
Allegedly.
Wow.
Allegedly, allegedly.
She's very pretty.
For years, like while she was, she started stalking him allegedly when she was like 12 years old.
That's dedication.
And all the women saw this story and they were like, I don't know.
It's kind of crazy, but I respect it.
Like, maybe we need to normalize female aggression.
It's true.
I could have, I could have used a little more aggressiveness from the ladies, you know, during some of my single periods.
Come up.
Hey, Michael.
In these topsy-turvy times, what are we to do when men don't ask us out?
We have to be the pursuers, which means we have to stalk them.
Speaking of aggressive women, this female artist was labeled a homewrecker after allegedly causing a divorce by sleeping with her married co-star, a new dad, and his wife's high school sweetheart.
She later dropped the song, Yes, and who is she?
Big Cardi B, Doja Cat, Selena Gomez, or Ariana Grande.
These are like too easy.
Is it just easy for me?
Because I talk about this stuff.
I got that.
Even I got this one.
He's writing confidently.
Yeah.
These were huge stories.
It's stage four.
Ho, Ariana Grande.
Ariana Grande.
Not Ariana Pequeno, but Ariana Grande.
That's how I wrote that.
You are both correct.
Now, the current score is 11-5, which does make Mary Morgan the victor.
However, this is a gentleman's game.
And it's never too late to come back.
So if you're feeling frisky, you can risk it all on an all-or-nothing bonus question for the last round.
Mary Morgan, you want to do it?
Are you going to risk it all?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, let's go.
We had to just build her confidence in those last questions.
Yeah.
No, this is going to, this is going to rig it in Michael's favor.
I know.
It better rig it in my favor.
Let's go.
What is it?
You dirty riggers.
Yeah.
It's rig us.
It's for us.
No, for you.
Not for I'm the rigger.
Yeah, that's my word.
All right.
He is an expert in this.
In 2025, OnlyFans' top earners include Bella Thorne, Iggy Azalea, and Bad Baby.
And it was topped by Sophie Rain.
How much did Sophie Rain reportedly earn in one year?
Closest without going over.
Wow, man, some people have it all.
You know, if Bad Baby can make all this money on OnlyFans and then headline the Super Bowl the following year, it's just an amazing.
How much did Sophie Rainbow?
Sophie Rain is the top one on OnlyFans?
I don't know.
I've heard crazy numbers for like OnlyFans generally.
Even though most of them are telling the truth.
Yeah.
She might be lying.
We never know.
Hold on.
And they're certainly lying to the government.
You're telling me a prostitute would lie?
There's no way.
I don't believe it.
You know, this Sophie Rain girl is the one that got into a feud with Bonnie Blue because she was like, you're tarnishing the reputation of sex workers everywhere, Bonnie.
Right.
That's right.
Some of us are in it because it's empowering and beautiful.
And you're just in it for the spectacle.
Just in it for love of the game, you know?
The money is only...
Everyone's a freak until Bonnie Blue pulls up.
Yeah, it is crazy because you see this gal who appears to have been hollowed out by like very, very evil forces.
And she seems to be like almost, you know, like 700 years old with this wizened.
And then you find out she's like 23 or something.
Like, oh man, lady.
She's not.
She is 100% lying about her age.
That's just totally not true.
And I think that she's probably just clinically a psychopath.
She's like dark Tetrad.
Yeah, it could be.
She never returned any of my calls back in my single days, you know, not once.
I could have been Mr. Blue.
You just said she's old.
Don't make it weird.
You just said she was really old.
All right.
Look, I'm just going off of what the media told me.
That's what I always do.
Okay, hold on.
Sophie Arain.
I kind of like that.
That's a nice name.
I'm going to, I don't know.
This is the one that she talks about being Christian a lot.
Oh, really?
Interesting.
Yeah.
She made the most of anyone.
Yeah, whatever she's doing is working, apparently.
All right, 10 seconds.
Close is about going over.
think I was close.
All right.
Oh, man, the tension.
You cut it with a knife.
What do you got, Michael?
I said $36 million.
Okay.
That looks like $136.
Is that just the dollar sign?
That's the dollar sign.
I wasted all of it drawing little figures of cats and stuff.
I might have guessed too high, but I feel like I remember it being this high.
It's 55 million.
Well, it looks like there is a new Maven of pop culture because it was 43 million.
Oh, wow.
So rigged.
Oh, man.
I want to thank every degenerate Zoomer out there for spending money on an evil and disgusting vice that is corrupting your soul because you just let me win a meaningless game.
So thank you.
You should.
Damn it.
I thought I knew my stuff.
You just proved me wrong.
Maybe you should take over my job, Michael.
I've said it for years.
I've been gunning to be just a hip cool Zoomer chick.
Well, to the victor does go the spoils.
You can be whatever you want.
Again, yeah.
This is great.
Wow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, Mary Morgan, thank you so much for playing this game.
And would you please give Michael a 30-second ad read for why people should tune in and watch the Michael Knowles show?
You should tune in and watch the Michael Knowles show because he is such a Riz master that the Riz might emanate from the screen and be endowed onto you.
And one day you could have as much Riz as Michael Knowles.
That's so beautiful.
That was so nice.
I, wow.
It's like men want him.
Women want to be him.
It's this is big.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'm honored.
Wait, what?
Huh?
Hold on.
I admire your bravery, Mary Morgan, for going out, risking it all.
Sometimes, you know, in love, in culture, you have to take risks.
Sometimes they pay off.
Sometimes they don't.
Mr. Davies, thank you once again for having me on my own show.
And I'm happy that I could teach everyone a thing or two.
