	It's A. It's A. It's not right.
	It is.
	It is not A, and you were 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 new music videos?
	Are Labooboos actually pocket demons?
	I don't know.
	I'm just a regular suburban dad who thought Ice Spice was a winter candle.
	But you know who might have the answer?
	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?
	Concierto?
	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 Dalulu 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.
	Thank you.
	My answer for who our guest will be today is Mary Morgan.
	Oh, I hate that.
	Is that what you mean?
	That's good.
	What do you talk about?
	That looks horrible.
	That's very pretty.
	What are you talking about?
	Erase that immediately.
	What?
	Hold on.
	I don't.
	That's nice.
	Mr. Davies, is that?
	That is gonna be the most that's gonna 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 Laboooboo doll ever sold?
	This is closest without going over.
	Closest without going over.
	Of the labooboo doll.
	Which are they're like Lululemons, I hear.
	I f I can't spoil it.
	I'm gonna say five seconds.
	All right, Noels, 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 labor.
	No, they did not make a gold.
	I also I don't know what it erased the dollar sign because it depends on the currency how much this means it's worth.
	Hold on.
	You can't just you can't pick any currency.
	You can't you can't simultaneously answer you on rupees and uh pick a currency, big a currency.
	Well, this is not going very well because neither one of you were close at all.
	The correct answer is 170,000 the life-size.
	Let's go, babe.
	Because it's close to without going over.
	Yeah, it's close to that going over.
	If you let Mary Morgan get away with uh yen, then uh she actually would go rubles or something, and then she would win.
	Wow, oh, let's go.
	How much was it?
	170,000.
	It was a life-size labu-boo.
	It's life.
	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, you know.
	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.
	Um, 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 it without going over.
	How tall is Sabrina?
	Yeah.
	I know this one.
	It's in her song.
	Whoa.
	It's not looking good, Michael.
	She's saying 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 gonna get it wrong.
	Uh 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.
	Five feet a piece.
	So I almost put five feet to be exact, but it's closest to that going over, and I did four foot eleven.
	It is five feet exactly.
	Hey.
	That was against my better.
	But in those huge like platform heels that she wears, she's like maybe your height, Michael.
	Yeah, she might be.
	Yeah.
	That she is she petite in her videos?
	I've never really noticed her relative to other men.
	It's really hard to tell to me.
	Like the music.
	Yeah, like I see her.
	I 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 alpacinos.
	I don't know.
	It's the perspective thing.
	They probably have her standing on uh, you know, a milk crate or something.
	That's that's show business.
	And Michael, when he analyzes her music videos, he's always thinking about the height.
	Always all the time.
	Yeah.
	How tall are you, Mary Morgan?
	I'm five-one, to be exact.
	Towering over five foot one flat.
	Why didn't I get a little bit more?
	I kind of mog her.
	Mog her.
	You mog her.
	You mute 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 serious.
	Muse as in the muses or me is in the word I just said.
	Muses.
	That's in the muses.
	Muse now.
	None of these are the correct answer.
	Literally none of these are the correct answer.
	I have my answer.
	Mary Morgan, you gotta get on the TikTok and figure out what all the kids are twitching about.
	You know.
	You know, but there was no there was no summer anything this summer.
	There's no anything summer.
	My good friend Google says all that.
	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 was only Mr. Gates.
	I've heard that like I'm officially unknown because I was alive during 9-11.
	That makes you unk.
	Wow.
	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 I don't know what other term it could have been.
	And I put six-seven as a footnote.
	What is Michael writing cursive?
	What is that?
	I wrote it's giving.
	It's giving.
	Wow.
	That 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 six-seven?
	That's not real.
	Well, don't don't don't get into the six-seven because we may get it out.
	No, I'm keeping that in my mind.
	There was no brain rot summer, though.
	Have you been around professional?
	There was no brain rot summer.
	All right.
	Next up, the new Grand Theft Auto, number six, takes place in a fictional US 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 gonna draw it too?
	He's gonna get quickly erase it.
	What's going on there?
	I feel like I can see it, so I'm I'm cheating by looking at your board.
	Are you can you see what I'm writing?
	Vaguely, yeah.
	But there's like more.
	There's more flourish than that.
	Yeah, there's a lot of things.
	I wasn't really creative with my.
	Oh yeah.
	I said California.
	And that's that's Gavin Newsom.
	That's your genuine answer?
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Oh no!
	No, it's Florida, it's my city!
	No!
	I was thinking of San Andres!
	Oh, it was obvious.
	Michael, my future's tied to you.
	The fact that you missed that is just so.
	No, I knew I 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 LA one.
	Wow.
	We reviewed the trailer on your show.
	Bro, I had we talked about it.
	I had so much Tylenol this morning.
	I'm sorry.
	I just overdosed my Tylenol.
	That's 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 Newsom.
	Is it okay?
	It's not.
	I don't know.
	He's a little bit more vivacious than the real Gavin Newsom.
	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.
	So he's like, this is not like high school mystery boyfriends or whatever.
	This is like official celebrity, you know, like tract.
	Could have had a song written about it.
	Right.
	Since 2008.
	Closest without going over.
	Mm-hmm.
	I think I know.
	It's because she's a witch.
	Do I have to not go over in order to win?
	Right.
	You have to not go over.
	Well, you can get it exactly like your five foot.
	That one's gonna be.
	This is risky.
	Okay.
	I'm nervous.
	I gotta get my board off camera.
	Why?
	We gotta frame this better next time.
	She's seeing my numbers.
	Well, it's like blurry.
	It's fine.
	It's 18.
	Oh.
	It's 18.
	You went.
	I think you went way over.
	No, it's eight.
	I put 13.
	No.
	All right.
	Y'all both collectively lose because it was 12.
	Damn it.
	I knew it was 12.
	I thought if I said it constantly.
	She's a witch.
	I 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 I could be a witch.
	I thought I could force the reality to bend to my will by confidently saying 18.
	But I I am not a witch.
	Like that lady in Delaware.
	I'm not a witch.
	Alright, what's the score currently?
	This is bad.
	Asking control room.
	3-1 married.
	Ah.
	All right.
	This is when the comeback starts, right here.
	This is great.
	I 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 the rules.
	Oh, Michael, this is your shot here.
	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 gotta 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 I did long form live streams.
	Not even close.
	15 seconds.
	The correct answer, which is faith in humanity.
	Which is bad for both of our shows.
	It's the vertical shorts under 15 seconds.
	Yeah!
	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?
	Ever.
	I have a pretty there's been some good ones.
	There was like Bird Box and a few of those like that, but this crushed it.
	I don't.
	I watched like one television show a year, possibly too.
	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 uh I think it's a pretty good beaters.
	Big Medias 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.
	Wait, that was for that was for 2025.
	I was just thinking like the most popular of all time.
	It's still, this is this is the most popular of all time, though.
	Because also Tyler Perry's Big Made is seven 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.
	Cats out of the bag here.
	Speaking of views, how many Taylor Swift music videos currently have over one 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 he she has a couple.
	A couple is two.
	So did you just said it's two.
	Close is not 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 the city.
	Because he's gonna be like, it's gonna be like 10.
	He's gonna be like, no, like a couple just means more than one or whatever.
	Is it like uh double triple reverse Uno card?
	I'm just trying to keep it competitive with this delay.
	I don't want to.
	I gotta 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 she 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.
	Um has at least a billion views.
	Uh maybe look what you made me do.
	I think that would have a billion views.
	Um Dancing in the Moonlight probably has like a trillion views.
	Her best one hasn't quite cracked a million.
	It's at 950 million.
	Tutie Fruity has 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.
	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.
	I don't know why.
	You lied.
	I couldn't just say 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.
	I know.
	You wouldn'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 six-seven, if you know what I mean.
	What did I just mean?
	A little six seven, yeah.
	I uh I was kind of hoping six seven would be the answer to one later on, and I could just use my if Michael's thinking six, seven.
	Like what is he?
	What is he thinking?
	Like how he goes in the ad reader.
	Things are heating up.
	Mary Morgan's beating me by like a hundred points.
	It's heating up though.
	But you can pull ahead here.
	Can I?
	I don't know.
	It's six seven.
	Six, it's six seven.
	You want to know what it means when someone goes like this.
	I need you to write down six seven.
	Like, give me like 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 things.
	Now 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 gonna be the pop culture maven.
	I'm just gonna win the award.
	420 is also Hitler's birthday.
	Did you know that?
	I'm just trying to tell try 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.
	This is a flower.
	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 ten.
	It's like six-seven.
	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?
	It does it mean moderately acceptable.
	Hey, I think I know what it means now.
	It means nothing.
	It's just like data.
	It's like nothing.
	It's 6'7.
	I love Dada.
	I gotta kick it out.
	Yeah, that's kind of the point.
	Yeah, it's like Skrilla like skillet.
	I know skillet.
	They're a they're a Christian band.
	I've never listened to Skrilla.
	I've listened to Skrillex.
	Is he allowed to say Skriller?
	But like we have to say Skriller.
	That might be offensive to many people.
	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 in a very popular play.
	Oh, thanks for informing me.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He doesn't know that.
	No.
	Can we give multiple answers?
	Uh yeah, I want to give you A, B, C, and D. So the first option is she pledge 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 pledges 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 I forgot.
	It's been like two days since I saw it.
	That was the only one.
	Can you read the answers again?
	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's definitely.
	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 a bit 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 emphasis.
	I think it's the delay.
	Yeah.
	I put C because I know my Taylor Swift.
	It's A. It's A. It's not right.
	It is.
	It is not A, and you are getting completely destroyed.
	It is C, your hands, your T and your Vibes.
	Travis Kelsey, your team, your vibe, your hands.
	Hold on.
	Hold down.
	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'm so confident.
	She is a Swissy.
	That's so cringy.
	Why did 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, the Travis Kelsey plays for the Chiefs.
	Oh man, I yeah.
	They have a losing record since she released the uh uh 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 Matana.
	I could do it.
	It's Girl Meets World, right?
	It's not Hannah Montana.
	Yeah.
	Bluey.
	Was it Bluey?
	Uh who's the first one you said?
	Zendaya?
	Florence Pugh?
	No, it's Zendaya is how it's pretty.
	Zendeya?
	He doesn't need to Florence Pew, Sabrina Carpenter.
	Maximalist.
	Maximalist glam.
	Y'all are both really into fashion, so I figured this would be a real nail bitter here.
	Yeah, going.
	It's not gonna be Hermione.
	She's like gone very feminist, right?
	So it's gonna be.
	I don't know.
	She wasn't on the list.
	Maximalist glam.
	I don't know what that is.
	Yeah.
	No, he said Emma Stone, right?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, Emma Stone.
	Yeah.
	Oh, well, Emma Stone, I don't know.
	I'm 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.
	Well done.
	Is it a portrait?
	Sabrina Carpenter.
	It's Sabrina Carpenter.
	No!
	Oh, let's go.
	It's not Emma Stone.
	I don't know.
	I was going off of Emma Stone's Vogue cover.
	She was in the cover of the September issue for Vogue.
	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.
	Black portrait could have been anybody.
	That could have been Zendaya.
	Or Zendaya is uh Mr. David.
	That 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.
	Oh.
	Which celebrity has had the most husband.
	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 first.
	Are you doing a portrait again?
	Wait, no, I'm just kidding.
	Closest?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, it's the Michael Stress out.
	Yeah, okay.
	All right, what do you have, Mary?
	I put J Lo.
	I said Halloween Barry.
	She's been engaged like seven times, right?
	You put Halle Berry on.
	Hallie Barry.
	Sally Barry.
	It's uncanny.
	She had that short haircut for a while, remember when she was kissing uh the guy from the pianist.
	Remember?
	You don't remember that?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, that's that's why I did the short hair.
	Uh 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.
	Yeah.
	I wonder how many times, yeah, she's been engaged, but Halle Berry.
	It's a lot.
	Hallie Barry 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 she takes the prize For the shortest marriage, though.
	Remember?
	She had a 72-day long marriage.
	Ris Humphreys, yeah.
	All right.
	Next question.
	Bad Bunny was just announced as the Super Bowl halftime show performer.
	Which of the following is one of his songs?
	Is it A, Signoriti, B, Decati, C, Mama Citi, or D, Margariti?
	This is like, remember in the 2000s when rappers would be like like shizzle, Verizzle, whatever.
	That's what it sounds like, but the Mexican version.
	Okay.
	So let's see.
	One of these is really 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.
	I think it's the most realistic.
	Senoriti, Dakiti, Mamaciti, Margariti.
	Which one of those is real?
	I got it.
	What do you got?
	Ticate.
	It's Tikate.
	I don't remember which one that was, but I put B. Y'all are both correct.
	Yeah, let's go.
	Is it the same one?
	Okay.
	It sounded 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.
	These have already occurred, 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.
	Uh it's like 1.5 million.
	Wait, are you looking for a percent or a number?
	Percent.
	I said 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.
	One percent.
	I would say one percent of American adults, which is a shocking number of people.
	Apparently, I said 15 because you think people I think apparently you're underestimating yourself.
	I think you must be like a basket of roses, because the real doomer answer is 28%.
	28%.
	No.
	Multiple articles we're talking about this.
	We were looking it up this morning.
	No.
	I mean, whatever.
	You figure, okay, so it's guys.
	How many guys watch porn?
	It's got adult guys, gotta be 80% or something, at least 70%.
	And then if if the idea is this is just like new porn, so then 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 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're not going to create new humans.
	Well, yeah, no, 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 they'll basically make the AI, AI, porn robot sex slaves.
	At that point, the human race will go extinct because it'll 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 it 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?
	In 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 process.
	When he reveals this, it's gonna be so uncanny.
	You want to have to say we getting a torso this time?
	You maybe don't.
	I'm scared.
	Yeah, okay.
	No, all right.
	There we go.
	And yeah.
	This 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 is from like the 60s.
	I was playing them for my kids.
	They have this like really sexy cat.
	This like hot.
	I remember her.
	You know the one that's like, mm-mm.
	And anyway, that's what I picture Doja Cat to be.
	Yeah, and she has like red lipstick on and everything.
	Yeah.
	Um, 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.
	Mmm.
	How old is 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?
	She's the older woman.
	Doja Cat?
	Let me guess.
	I think that 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 years.
	Is that math correct?
	Did you just like nail those?
	I think so.
	I have no idea.
	I'm not gonna fact check you on that.
	Thank you.
	No, Michael, this is almost as doomer as the uh AI relationship question, but you are losing 9-4 to Mary Morgan right now.
	That's 6'7, is what that is.
	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 LaRoy?
	B Justin Bieber, C, Bryson Tiller, D. Hi Dallasign.
	Michael knows this.
	I actually I have this one pretty well done.
	He's down the rabbit hole in this one.
	This was kind of a layup.
	This one, this story was huge.
	Yeah.
	He's a big Kid LaRoy 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 D, Justin Bieber.
	It is Justin Bieber.
	Just Bibo.
	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 more uh a little more aggressiveness from the ladies, you know, during my 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.
	I 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 Mark.
	Mary Morgan, you want to do it?
	Are you gonna 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 gonna, this is gonna rig it in Michael's favor.
	I know.
	It better, it better rig it in my favor.
	Let's go.
	What is it?
	You dirty riggers.
	Yeah.
	It's riggaz.
	It's for us.
	No, for you.
	Not for I'm the rigger.
	Yeah, that's my word.
	Okay.
	All right.
	He is an expert in this.
	In 2025, OnlyFans' top earners include Bella Thorne, Iggy Azalea, and Bad Baby.
	And that 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 Rain have?
	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 knows she's 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 a spectacle.
	Just in it for love of the game, you know.
	Mummy's 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 f.
	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, could 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. Boone.
	You just said she's old.
	Don't make it weird.
	You just said she was really old.
	All right.
	I'm looking I'm just going off of what the media told me.
	Yeah, that's uh that's what I always do.
	Okay, hold on.
	Sophia Rain.
	I kind of like that.
	That's a nice name.
	I'm gonna, I don't know.
	Uh this is the one that she talks about being Christian a lot.
	Oh, really?
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	She made the most of anyone.
	Uh yeah, whatever she's doing is working, apparently.
	All right, 10 seconds.
	Close is without going over.
	I 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 dollars.
	Okay.
	Uh that looks like 136.
	Is that just the dollar sign?
	That's a 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, so close.
	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 shouldn't.
	I thought I knew my stuff.
	You just proved me wrong.
	You maybe you should take over my job, Michael.
	I 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 adder 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 Rizmaster that the Riz might emanate from the screen and be endowed on to you.
	And one day you could have as much Riz as Michael Knowles.
	Oh, 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 to be.
	Wait, what?
	Huh?
	Hold on.
	I admire your bravery, Mary Mary Morgan, for going out risking it all.
	Sometimes, you know, in love, in culture, you got 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 uh I'm I'm happy that I could teach everyone a thing or two.
	Well, there you have it.
	And if you if you haven't already, go subscribe to the pop culture crisis on YouTube.
