00:00:47.780 You were talking about blue balls earlier
00:00:49.120 and now you're talking about tightening the nuts.
00:00:50.820 I'm just saying, how do you turn it?
00:00:52.120 I said, you turn it clockwise. 0.65
00:00:53.680 Is that how you tighten your nuts? 0.89
00:00:55.360 Yeah. 0.95
00:00:55.940 I mean, Nick understood it perfectly fine.

00:01:05.160 Men. 0.96
00:01:05.980 Unfortunately, today there's a lot of misinformation on masculinity.
00:01:09.840 So to learn more on the subject, we brought in two men qualified to speak for men everywhere.
00:01:15.360 In one corner, representing the Roman Empire, low vitamin D,
00:01:18.740 and the belief that both men and civilization peaked in the 1220s, Michael Knowles.
00:01:23.220 And in the other, representing tactical competence, facial hair, and TikTok, Nick Fritas.
00:01:27.800 17 questions, one winner.
00:01:29.640 This is Face Off Masculinity.
00:01:35.560 Are we swearing off now?
00:01:36.900 I can't believe I'm representing TikTok.
00:01:38.280 That is not true.
00:01:39.180 The TikTok thing, I completely reject.
00:01:41.480 I don't even have TikTok on my phone.
00:01:43.580 No, you're an analog guy, by the way.
00:01:46.300 As I should note, you have an actual book on paper with words printed on it that is,
00:01:53.160 depending on when you're watching this either just about to come out or out already you need
00:01:58.220 to either pre-order or order it right away it is called the man book the man book a point-by-point
00:02:06.020 guide to sucking it up and getting the job done great great title i wish i could steal the man
00:02:12.700 book i'm a sucker for a good pun and i'm excited to read the book oh well thank you very much it
00:02:17.420 was it was a lot of fun to write there was a lot of uh it was a walk down memory lane um yeah i
00:02:22.920 I tell people a lot of stuff I learned, most of it the hard way, over my time as a husband, father, soldier, elected official, all that good stuff.
00:02:33.000 I like how what you're bringing to this is the masculine pursuits of shooting, killing the enemy, protecting the country, lifting weights.
00:02:43.980 And I'm bringing the other masculine attributes of playing ukulele, doing a little pas de bourree, sometimes a little soft shoe.
00:02:53.420 And anyway, so together, we're completing masculinity is what I'm saying.
00:02:58.340 Exactly.
00:02:58.960 We now have the comprehensive version of it.
00:03:01.800 That's great.
00:03:02.700 All right, Ben, are we up?
00:03:03.640 All right.
00:03:04.000 You guys ready to suck it up and get started? 1.00
00:03:05.700 Let's suck. 1.00
00:03:07.360 This is how it's going to work. 0.99
00:03:08.360 I'll read a question.
00:03:09.140 Each host has 30 seconds to scribble down their answer.
00:03:12.520 And the loser, they must deliver a glowing 30-second pitch for the winner.
00:03:16.580 Do you consent to these rules?
00:03:18.160 I consent.
00:03:18.960 I have informed consent.
00:03:20.240 I'll do it.
00:03:21.200 All right.
00:03:21.700 Here we go.
00:03:22.800 Question one.
00:03:24.320 What color is power steering fluid?
00:03:27.540 Good luck, Michael.
00:03:28.800 I'm going to get completely demolished.
00:03:33.420 All right.
00:03:34.240 Freitas, what do you have?
00:03:39.660 I can't see it.
00:03:40.920 We're in these little tiny boxes.
00:03:42.680 Blue.
00:03:43.180 Shoot, I was going to say blue, but I said green.
00:03:45.220 Don't move me over.
00:03:46.260 I thought blue was too easy.
00:03:48.340 The correct answer is red.
00:03:50.560 Really?
00:03:51.220 Oh.
00:03:52.540 Whoa.
00:03:53.820 Nick, is this all just for show?
00:03:56.220 Are you secretly, like, softy? 0.99
00:03:59.260 As soon as you went into, like, auto mechanics, it's like, I'm screwed. 0.99
00:04:04.320 Yeah, wow, okay.
00:04:06.160 All right, I'll take it.
00:04:07.040 We're tied.
00:04:08.260 All right, here we go.
00:04:08.940 Number two, what percentage of workplace deaths in the USA are men closest without going over?
00:04:16.500 Closest without going over.
00:04:18.040 Yes.
00:04:18.960 All right, Michael.
00:04:20.040 I usually strategize to go lower, but I feel confident enough.
00:04:23.480 I'm saying 77%.
00:04:25.300 I said 92.
00:04:28.260 The correct answer is exactly 92%.
00:04:31.700 Brace us.
00:04:33.060 Moving ahead.
00:04:35.140 Oh, man.
00:04:36.560 That was a dagger.
00:04:37.640 That was.
00:04:38.760 He's done some research for a book recently.
00:04:40.340 If you had done, yeah, that's not fair.
00:04:42.600 He just wrote a book on this.
00:04:44.380 Like if we did a game about nothing, I might win, you know?
00:04:48.040 Well, I mean, in all fairness, I did used to occupy a job
00:04:51.300 that was far more likely to get you killed on the job.
00:04:53.980 That's true.
00:04:55.300 All right, here we go.
00:04:56.360 Number three, what is the colloquial term
00:04:58.540 for a man suffering from epididymal hypertension?
00:05:02.700 The word for a man or a word for the condition?
00:05:05.640 The condition.
00:05:07.100 See, I got it.
00:05:07.900 It's like unbelievable what I have to put up with that he doesn't, he asks, he asked
00:05:11.960 the quest, the wrong question.
00:05:13.400 Then I have to try to figure out what he's thinking.
00:05:15.760 So wait, what is the condition, not the man?
00:05:19.020 What is the colloquial term for a man suffering from epididymal hypertension?
00:05:23.220 For the man or for the thing he's suffering from?
00:05:25.600 It's the thing he's suffering from.
00:05:26.700 So it's not the man.
00:05:28.760 It's not the man.
00:05:29.640 No, you wouldn't.
00:05:31.100 No, it's the thing.
00:05:31.660 That's a totally different answer.
00:05:33.180 Okay, okay.
00:05:33.740 So help me what I put up with.
00:05:34.740 This is why we can't have nice things right here, Michael.
00:05:36.000 You're giving me hyperditymol, hyperepidemic tension is what you're giving me.
00:05:40.600 Say one more time.
00:05:42.300 Now that I know what the question is about.
00:05:44.340 If you're suffering from epiditymol hypertension, what are you suffering from?
00:05:49.020 I am suffering from it.
00:05:51.300 Epiditymol hypertension.
00:05:55.880 Got it.
00:05:56.660 I am absolutely certain.
00:06:00.180 You go first.
00:06:01.200 Yeah, you go first.
00:06:02.840 Okay. 1.00
00:06:03.460 Gay. 1.00
00:06:06.000 I think it's gay 1.00
00:06:07.680 I almost don't want to show my answer 1.00
00:06:10.040 because he's obviously getting the points
00:06:11.260 Is that high blood pressure? 0.83
00:06:13.800 The correct answer is blue balls
00:06:15.760 That's the
00:06:17.680 that's the epididymal
00:06:19.080 There you go
00:06:20.160 Now depending on the environment you're in
00:06:22.640 I could still be right
00:06:23.760 Yeah, that's true
00:06:25.780 Like back when we were a proper country
00:06:28.560 and people just repressed themselves
00:06:30.040 Yeah, you're right 1.00
00:06:30.800 Wow, if you said dindabal 1.00
00:06:34.560 I would have understood that 1.00
00:06:35.740 but you said did them all.
00:06:38.580 Okay, all right.
00:06:39.780 All right, here we go.
00:06:40.840 How many current physical performance world records 1.00
00:06:43.320 are held by women? 1.00
00:06:44.980 Closest without going over. 1.00
00:06:46.100 Now, just to clarify,
00:06:47.700 this would be like strength, endurance, swimming,
00:06:49.720 those kind of things.
00:06:51.180 Obviously not within the female-only category.
00:06:54.520 Correct.
00:06:54.840 This is an absolute world record.
00:06:57.220 But it could be like crocheting.
00:07:00.140 No, that'd be a skill.
00:07:01.720 This is like physical accomplishment.
00:07:04.020 So strength-related.
00:07:05.600 Yeah, well, it could be long distance.
00:07:06.740 It could be running.
00:07:07.280 It could be swimming.
00:07:07.660 Like I said, it could be those kind of performances.
00:07:09.300 Oh, okay, okay. 1.00
00:07:10.020 Some sort of physical activity held by women. 1.00
00:07:12.300 The questions require end notes and paragraphs and disputations. 0.96
00:07:17.020 Just give me a closest without going over, Michael.
00:07:19.040 How many?
00:07:19.640 What percentage or how many?
00:07:21.340 How many total or what percentage?
00:07:22.220 How many, like total. 0.99
00:07:23.300 Give me a number of events are held absolutely by women.
00:07:28.180 Michael says zero. 1.00
00:07:29.440 Let's see.
00:07:30.100 I assume zero, right?
00:07:31.940 Like nothing.
00:07:33.100 I said one.
00:07:34.240 I was playing it close.
00:07:35.540 So this is tricky because for years I was told, you know,
00:07:38.360 long distance swimming, certain distances, that kind of thing,
00:07:41.020 women perform better in occasionally for absolute world records.
00:07:43.960 Apparently that's not true. 1.00
00:07:45.100 They'll just find some like random new distance or some new canal 1.00
00:07:47.400 and they'll be the first woman to do it. 1.00
00:07:48.700 It's like, oh, the women's world record. 1.00
00:07:50.080 But there is one currently, Nick is right. 1.00
00:07:52.440 There's one, only one.
00:07:54.160 And it is consecutive days of running longer than 50 kilometers.
00:07:58.460 And it's held by Candice Burt in 2023.
00:08:01.920 She did 200 days straight.
00:08:03.220 and the previous mail record was 80 days straight.
00:08:06.280 So until some guy gets bored and wants to do it,
00:08:08.440 she does the world record.
00:08:09.860 The funniest one would have been
00:08:11.400 had it been the world record for curling.
00:08:14.520 You know, the one where they like mop the floor.
00:08:16.620 That would have been the fun.
00:08:17.620 Okay, so it's the most days you run some arbitrary distance.
00:08:21.820 Yes, consecutive days, 200 days straight
00:08:23.560 of running over 50 kilometers.
00:08:26.120 I was thinking there was going to be some category
00:08:28.280 having to do with like child birthing pain thresholds
00:08:31.680 or something, but it's a fail.
00:08:33.220 Way to go, Candice.
00:08:34.600 Way to go, Candice.
00:08:35.540 Good job, Candice. 0.99
00:08:36.520 They're going to clip that out of this show.
00:08:38.840 Nick Freitas says, way to go, Candice, on the Michael Knowles show.
00:08:41.980 It's going to be a political scandal. 1.00
00:08:44.400 Well, because the Jews forced me to. 1.00
00:08:46.360 That makes perfect sense. 1.00
00:08:49.100 It's the only explanation, Michael.

00:10:06.660 According to a 2026
00:10:09.060 Institute for Family Studies
00:10:10.860 report, what percentage of young
00:10:12.880 men not in a romantic
00:10:14.640 relationship are not interested
00:10:16.480 in finding a romantic partner?
00:10:19.300 Closest without going over.
00:10:20.660 So you can't be in a relationship already. If you're not in a relationship,
00:10:22.900 what percent of those men
00:10:24.160 are not interested at all
00:10:25.640 in getting into one.
00:10:27.240 And because you said
00:10:28.220 romantic partner
00:10:29.200 instead of a lady,
00:10:30.420 you're including
00:10:31.100 the answer that Nick
00:10:32.320 previously gave,
00:10:33.120 which is the gaze.
00:10:35.060 No, I believe
00:10:35.880 this is heterosexual. 0.71
00:10:36.920 This is unbelievable 1.00
00:10:38.560 how imprecise
00:10:40.620 these questions are.
00:10:41.540 You see,
00:10:41.780 what percentage?
00:10:43.800 I didn't think
00:10:44.240 you'd be breaking these
00:10:44.900 down like this, man.
00:10:45.720 I'm just trying to like
00:10:46.340 find interesting stats.
00:10:47.540 Yeah, I just wish
00:10:49.260 I knew the criteria
00:10:50.600 that you see
00:10:51.780 what percentage?
00:10:52.980 Stop buying it for time,
00:10:53.400 Knolls, let's go. I've already answered.
00:10:55.560 You've already answered. 1.00
00:10:56.300 What percentage of a heterosexual, because you know the gays, they're all doing whatever. 1.00
00:11:00.100 So what percentage of heterosexual 1.00
00:11:03.260 single men don't want to find a lady? 1.00
00:11:06.940 Correct. 1.00
00:11:08.900 Highest for that going over? Young men. 0.97
00:11:14.220 I said 8%.
00:11:15.640 I said 32.
00:11:19.220 Knolls, for the win, it's 26%.
00:11:22.120 Don't call it a comeback
00:11:23.400 Don't call it a comeback
00:11:24.860 I think it should just be closest
00:11:26.360 The problem is then you can have a tie
00:11:28.940 This is not the price of right
00:11:30.600 I always argue for meritocracy here
00:11:34.300 But Michael's like no no no
00:11:35.360 What does that have to do with meritocracy
00:11:37.520 That's just winning
00:11:38.240 It's like we're speaking different languages
00:11:41.920 On this show
00:11:42.580 We need a translator anyway
00:11:45.160 I'll take my point that's great
00:11:46.500 Alright what is the correct temperature
00:11:49.640 To cook a steak
00:11:50.580 give me like okay the range stop stop stop what is the temperature when it's complete
00:11:58.320 just give me what's the temperature that you cook it at give me a temp in that range
00:12:02.820 okay so when it's complete when you're talking about ben the question is what temperature is
00:12:09.640 the meat or what temperature do you cook it on at the meat the meat when it's all done you put a
00:12:16.320 whatever thing in it.
00:12:18.920 I'm so tired.
00:12:20.920 What do they call it? A cooking thermometer?
00:12:22.840 Okay, Alisa uses that. I never use that.
00:12:24.700 And then I burn my steak that way.
00:12:26.120 So what is the proper...
00:12:27.660 Does it give...
00:12:29.200 Michael's over here like a real man
00:12:32.200 has his wife cook his steak for him. 0.99
00:12:34.560 That's true. I don't even do the grilling. 0.61
00:12:36.720 But it depends on the cut.
00:12:38.400 Like a New York strip, you're going to do medium rare.
00:12:40.660 A filet mignon, you're going to do rare.
00:12:42.580 If you're Trump, you're going to have it burnt
00:12:44.140 with ketchup.
00:12:45.160 So you're saying for any steak?
00:12:47.620 That's what's called a range.
00:12:48.580 No, no, no.
00:12:48.980 There is a range here.
00:12:50.320 There is a range here that is acceptable.
00:12:52.400 And then everything else is unacceptable.
00:12:54.780 And I'll give you what that range is after we answer.
00:12:57.600 Okay.
00:12:57.800 All right.
00:12:58.120 All right.
00:12:58.600 I'm just throwing off that Michael uses a thermometer and doesn't eyeball it like a real man.
00:13:01.500 No, I don't.
00:13:02.320 I don't cook any of it.
00:13:03.640 It's all Alisa.
00:13:04.740 Because I'm actually bad at it.
00:13:05.960 I only cook to temperature.
00:13:08.400 I cook to temperature.
00:13:09.240 You do.
00:13:09.660 Yeah.
00:13:09.960 It's so much better.
00:13:11.000 It does come out much, much better when you cook to temperature.
00:13:14.240 I am too lazy.
00:13:15.420 If you're cooking in time, you never know what happens.
00:13:17.100 You're whatever.
00:13:18.920 Your grill, your oven, your big green egg.
00:13:24.240 Dude, those are so good.
00:13:25.860 Nick, do you have a green egg?
00:13:27.800 Oh, yeah.
00:13:28.440 Yeah.
00:13:28.860 I joined the cult, man.
00:13:30.320 I remember when I first saw this thing, I'm like, what the heck is this?
00:13:33.780 Why do I want it?
00:13:35.080 And then the first time we got and started cooking with them, I'm like, okay, I'm in the cult.
00:13:38.340 I'm part of the little chats now.
00:13:40.360 What's the green egg?
00:13:41.840 We go from blue bowls to green eggs.
00:13:44.460 And I don't know.
00:13:45.640 Somehow it's getting even more confusing.
00:13:47.920 It's a lump charcoal grill that you use,
00:13:50.340 but you can do everything with it.
00:13:51.600 You can bake with it.
00:13:52.760 It's awesome.
00:13:53.580 It's awesome.
00:13:54.740 This is the range.
00:13:55.900 Give me your ranges here.
00:13:57.300 I say it's 110 to 130.
00:13:59.900 It's 115 to 125.
00:14:02.800 Those are all in the acceptable range.
00:14:05.560 I'll take both of those.
00:14:06.900 What did you have?
00:14:08.220 It ends at 135. 1.00
00:14:09.680 You just can't go 135 or you're gay. 1.00
00:14:11.360 It does not end at 135. 0.96
00:14:13.780 Medium? You're going to accept
00:14:15.440 medium? No, I'm saying
00:14:16.840 medium rare temperature ends at 135.
00:14:19.920 So that was like... Medium rare ends at 135?
00:14:21.660 I don't know what sort of commie came up with that.
00:14:23.740 Yeah, I don't...
00:14:24.800 135 is way too...
00:14:27.700 That's sandwich meat.
00:14:28.980 I don't know what kind of meat
00:14:31.280 too. Does it vary?
00:14:32.960 Maybe if you're having some real 0.64
00:14:34.440 trashy meat. I don't know.
00:14:36.060 I wouldn't go that high, but that was the end of the threshold.
00:14:39.160 The only thing I would cook
00:14:41.840 at 135, and this is
00:14:43.840 from survival school, this is from Seer
00:14:45.740 School, which is survival, evasion, resistance, and
00:14:47.820 escape. The only thing I would cook
00:14:49.880 at 135 is a dead
00:14:51.940 raccoon on the side of the road that's been
00:14:53.840 there for at least a week.
00:14:55.980 Anything else you're committing
00:14:59.980 crimes against meat.
00:15:01.640 Wow.
00:15:03.760 I feel very strong.
00:15:05.500 Nick, if it were a dead raccoon that had been
00:15:07.840 there on the side of the road for six days would you like sous vide it or something like it's fine
00:15:11.920 you yeah you would tartar boil it yeah you'd boil it yeah right well for this next question michael
00:15:18.560 depending on what your day's been like you might actually be partially the way here what is the
00:15:22.560 longest reliably documented time that a human has stayed awake closest without going over yeah i
00:15:29.600 gotta get my documentation in before before we uh claim this prize you could be halfway there right
00:15:35.040 Yeah, there's a few people that have claimed certain Guinness records,
00:15:39.380 but it's not been documented the same as, like, the official.
00:15:41.660 Consecutive, like, no micro naps, no nothing.
00:15:43.880 You're just up.
00:15:44.620 Yeah, you have to be people watching the whole time, no micro napping.
00:15:49.660 Is this another one of those closest without going over?
00:15:52.180 Yeah.
00:15:53.780 Oh, yeah.
00:15:54.380 Okay, I'm going back to ranger school right now.
00:15:59.120 Okay.
00:15:59.960 All right, Michael, what do you have?
00:16:01.600 I said 76 hours.
00:16:03.040 hours i said 96 the correct answer is 11 days and 25 minutes so nick pretest does take the win
00:16:12.480 there nobody's been up for 11 days randy gardner volunteered at age 19 just just because and then
00:16:19.280 the university of stanford came down monitored him that was in 1964 absolutely insane you know
00:16:25.700 there are people i remember a lot this is before energy drinks i'm impressed but it was after coke
00:16:32.500 i assume we don't know that he didn't have any help but i remember when i was a kid my father
00:16:37.400 told me about some story about a medical condition where people can't fall asleep they develop this
00:16:43.240 condition they can't go to sleep and they die basically because you can yeah not resting and
00:16:47.380 so i i wonder if one of those guys would actually have the record well that's why i saw that episode
00:16:52.200 a house too yeah okay yeah guinness stopped doing this they stopped even keeping track because they
00:16:56.920 were so afraid of someone dying because most animals die after three weeks and they thought
00:17:00.420 some guy was going to go too far yeah true story in ranger school in ranger school they regulated
00:17:06.240 sleep so much that you you had a bunch of guys like i will never forget one dude we're in a
00:17:11.460 patrol base at night in mountain phase of ranger school and all you hear is this ranger instructor
00:17:16.600 calling out for the student and all you hear is here here's sergeant here's sergeant you hear
00:17:21.820 clang clang clang clang here's sergeant here's shark clang clang clang clang and then he gets
00:17:26.300 and he shows up the sergeant he's like barely staying on his feet and his sergeant looks at his
00:17:30.860 tie down and then picks up his rifle and hands it back to him he literally ran across the entire
00:17:36.540 patrol base dragging his weapon the entire way with him you get tired that's bad that's bad
00:17:45.340 i've heard for uh was it hell week with the seals there's a certain amount of time they have to stay
00:17:49.100 stay awake for that week. Do you know what that actually is? What they get up to? What?
00:17:54.020 I don't know. Seals talk so much crap about what they do. Oh my gosh. Hey, you remember when Delta 0.99
00:18:00.880 Force did the raid on Maduro? All of us were sitting around going, can't wait for a seal to
00:18:04.940 write a book about it. Yeah. I heard this from a Green Beret buddy. It was just like, hey,
00:18:10.360 how do you know if a guy is a Navy SEAL? You read about it in his book. It's like, oh yeah. Okay,
00:18:14.920 Fair enough.
00:18:15.300 While playing his video game
00:18:16.520 and watching his movie.
00:18:20.160 All right.
00:18:20.800 Here we go.
00:18:21.220 What's the score currently?
00:18:22.060 Just to give us an update.
00:18:24.180 I'm ahead by one or two.
00:18:27.260 It's 4-2, Nick.
00:18:29.300 Wow.
00:18:29.860 All right.
00:18:31.000 This question could change nothing.
00:18:33.500 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:34.420 On average,
00:18:35.300 how long does it take
00:18:36.680 before a man proposes
00:18:38.160 in the United States
00:18:39.640 after they start dating?
00:18:40.860 Closest without going over.
00:18:41.900 For millennials,
00:18:42.660 it's like 15 years, I think.
00:18:44.100 This is across all generations?
00:18:47.320 This is currently.
00:18:48.540 Starting, hold on, what do you mean it's currently?
00:18:50.780 Oh, currently.
00:18:52.180 This is so, it's like my epidemic hypertension
00:18:56.720 is going through the roof right now.
00:18:59.140 This is across all generations.
00:19:02.520 Now I think he's lying.
00:19:03.520 Hey, Nick, you want to go grab a cigar or something
00:19:06.420 while we wait to figure out what Ben wants to ask us?
00:19:08.460 We'll cross each other questions which are coherent
00:19:10.740 and have obvious answers.
00:19:11.920 Yeah, this is from like 15, 20 until 2026, Michael.
00:19:15.580 Yeah, okay.
00:19:16.600 All right.
00:19:17.040 The final question is going to be,
00:19:18.260 how many of these questions were completely made up on the spot
00:19:21.020 and suddenly...
00:19:22.180 Closest without going over, 100%.
00:19:24.920 Closest for that, I win.
00:19:27.080 Okay, let's see.
00:19:29.040 So what was the fifth version of this question you asked, Ben?
00:19:32.380 How long does the average guy date before he proposes?
00:19:35.880 I'm wondering if you think...
00:19:36.720 Including like your grandpa or no?
00:19:38.740 No, he's dating one girl, right?
00:19:41.240 How long does he date one girl before proposing to her?
00:19:43.520 Yeah, before the girl he gets married to.
00:19:45.340 How long do they date on average?
00:19:47.140 All right, I got it.
00:19:47.660 But again, this includes your grandpa in it, or this doesn't?
00:19:51.380 This includes only like...
00:19:52.220 It's just a modern-day statistic.
00:19:53.480 It's just dudes right now.
00:19:54.640 Yeah, I mean, I don't know where...
00:19:55.620 It's the current average.
00:19:56.580 Okay, we're back to the first version of the question.
00:19:58.500 Okay, got it.
00:19:59.080 All right, I hope it doesn't change while I'm writing my answer down.
00:20:01.920 Okay.
00:20:03.160 I'm looking at the correct answer.
00:20:04.600 How about that?
00:20:05.820 I have no confidence that whatever number is in front of you is correct.
00:20:09.920 I'm going to say 22 months.
00:20:13.140 What is that?
00:20:13.700 I say 16.
00:20:15.520 I say 16.
00:20:16.680 16, okay.
00:20:17.580 The correct answer is two and a half years.
00:20:20.060 Let's go!
00:20:20.440 So I believe Michael wins.
00:20:21.760 Let's go! 0.95
00:20:22.740 All right, I take back all that trash talking 0.94
00:20:24.680 I had about your question. 0.56
00:20:25.820 It's getting tight, Nick.
00:20:26.680 That's nuts.
00:20:27.360 All right.
00:20:29.120 All right, what does the term angels share
00:20:31.900 refer to in whiskey production?
00:20:35.500 Well, this is getting intense.
00:20:36.980 Both guys thinking very hard on this one.
00:20:38.620 And this is a study from 1220 until 2026, Michael.
00:20:43.660 Thank you.
00:20:44.420 I appreciate that.
00:20:45.420 What was the institution?
00:20:46.700 It's the University of Bologna.
00:20:50.220 All right.
00:20:50.960 Ten seconds.
00:20:51.980 I got it.
00:20:54.000 Here, I'll just.
00:20:58.400 Are you writing a Ben Davies question over there?
00:21:02.240 Evaporation.
00:21:03.280 I said that.
00:21:04.280 The part that evaporates.
00:21:05.620 That is correct, gentlemen.
00:21:07.980 Evaporated spirit lost during aging.
00:21:12.160 All right.
00:21:12.580 After installing a spare tire,
00:21:14.400 what is the correct pattern for tightening the lug nuts?
00:21:17.580 Is it A, clockwise in a circle?
00:21:19.740 Is it B, counterclockwise?
00:21:22.100 Is it C, star crisscross pattern?
00:21:25.520 D, either counter or clockwise,
00:21:27.740 as long as you tighten one fully before moving to the next?
00:21:32.000 I legit, I haven't changed a tire in 10 years or something.
00:21:37.300 I did this one time with no instructions.
00:21:40.380 I never was taught it growing up,
00:21:41.720 and I had to do it on the side of I-75 heading to Atlanta.
00:21:45.000 In full traffic.
00:21:47.100 And I didn't know you were supposed to put the car in park.
00:21:50.100 Like, it would have the emergency brake on.
00:21:52.260 So it rolled off, like, actually on the interstate,
00:21:54.440 because I didn't have the emergency brake on.
00:21:56.340 It was wild.
00:21:57.180 It's crazy.
00:21:58.060 You will notice that in my book,
00:21:59.540 there is no chapter on car maintenance,
00:22:01.460 and there's a reason for that.
00:22:02.500 Yeah.
00:22:04.380 I love, did you think you were like,
00:22:06.080 okay, the first thing to do,
00:22:07.200 I remember my dad teaching me the first thing to do
00:22:09.180 before changing a tire, turn on cruise control
00:22:11.240 and then just...
00:22:12.300 Well, it's the emergency brake.
00:22:13.380 I didn't know that.
00:22:13.880 I always had it in part,
00:22:14.700 but I had the emergency brake on.
00:22:16.200 Anyway.
00:22:16.660 Well, the first thing you do whenever you change a tire
00:22:18.560 is you hurt yourself and throw something
00:22:20.980 and then curse.
00:22:22.540 Yeah.
00:22:23.740 Everybody knows this.
00:22:24.960 Step one, repeat.
00:22:26.180 All right, what do you got, Michael?
00:22:27.640 Is it clockwise?
00:22:28.620 I don't know.
00:22:29.420 I got the crisscross.
00:22:30.600 The correct answer is crisscross.
00:22:32.800 How do you crisscross?
00:22:33.400 What do you mean crisscross?
00:22:34.280 How do you crisscross?
00:22:35.080 You have to go opposite.
00:22:35.820 It means you do this.
00:22:37.200 Yeah, because you want it to be stable.
00:22:40.400 You want it to be, like, balanced.
00:22:44.000 Wait.
00:22:44.560 I did not do that when I changed it on the side of the interstate.
00:22:48.680 Wait, you're saying, you said when you tighten the nuts.
00:22:52.260 You were talking about blue balls earlier,
00:22:53.860 and now you're talking about tightening the nuts. 0.66
00:22:55.840 I'm going to say, how do you turn it?
00:22:57.200 I said you turn it clockwise. 0.77
00:22:59.440 Is that how you tighten your nuts? 0.94
00:23:01.400 Yeah. 0.88
00:23:02.160 You mean, you're talking about how do you put them back on?
00:23:04.720 Yeah, I mean, Nick understood it perfectly fine,
00:23:07.200 michael i don't understand what you said how do you tighten your read that question again
00:23:11.100 about tightening your nuts i wasn't talking about righty tiny question again i want to hear the
00:23:15.980 question after installing a spare tire what is the correct pattern for tightening the lug nut
00:23:20.560 the pattern for tightening lug nuts pattern look i understood i understood the assignment
00:23:26.640 all right one of us doesn't need excuses oh that's so annoying
00:23:31.700 By the way, Michael and I are one and one and game show like when he beat me on the one he rigged and then I beat him on the one that was fairly done.
00:23:43.700 So this is the tiebreaker.
00:23:44.840 Wait, so hold on.
00:23:45.880 The stakes on the last one were the coolest gun that I will ever own in my entire life that I almost don't want to shoot because I just want to mount it on my wall.
00:23:55.220 It's so beautiful.
00:23:56.440 And then the stakes on this one
00:23:58.780 are like a tweet of encouragement or something.
00:24:01.380 All right, that's fine.
00:24:02.760 I really came out ahead, I think, on these games.
00:24:06.940 It's hard for some men to give compliments.
00:24:08.700 I don't know how difficult this pitch is going to be
00:24:10.240 for whoever loses.
00:24:11.560 Number 11, what percentage of men
00:24:13.320 say they never get into physical fights?
00:24:16.620 Never.
00:24:17.540 That they have never gotten into a physical fight
00:24:19.720 or that they never do it as a present matter?
00:24:22.160 They have never.
00:24:23.620 Like never.
00:24:24.560 Interesting.
00:24:25.920 they've never wait wait hold on that's oh my goodness great good night see you guys good
00:24:32.840 night and nick enjoy the rest of the show i'll send you it actually just says they never get
00:24:36.000 into physical fights so i don't know if they don't remember or whatever it's just not okay
00:24:38.820 well they never like i don't get into physical i'm a 36 year old father of three and a half i'm
00:24:44.580 not you know i'm not like going out getting into bar fights but they've never been in a fight or
00:24:49.280 They never get into fights.
00:24:51.180 It was a CDC behavioral risk survey.
00:24:56.800 That in no way answers the question at all.
00:25:02.560 People just don't get into fights.
00:25:04.480 You know what?
00:25:04.960 I got the answer right here.
00:25:06.220 Ready?
00:25:06.420 Here it is.
00:25:07.140 Hold on.
00:25:07.820 Before Nick.
00:25:08.260 Before Nick. 1.00
00:25:10.000 It's gay again. 1.00
00:25:11.640 Gay. 1.00
00:25:13.100 I'm going to walk over there and get one right now with Michael, 0.76
00:25:15.260 but then just answer the question.
00:25:16.660 I don't know what you're asking.
00:25:18.060 those are completely different questions
00:25:20.240 what percentage of men don't get into fights
00:25:22.580 as a regular matter or what percentage
00:25:24.520 of men have never gotten into a fight including on the
00:25:26.420 5th grade playground those are radically 0.99
00:25:28.480 different answers yeah no I'm correct
00:25:30.660 I'm correct it's never it's never been
00:25:32.500 in never been in a fight including
00:25:34.340 you're 12 years old in middle school
00:25:36.300 okay never been in a fight okay
00:25:38.240 okay like I don't know because you may not
00:25:40.400 count like you getting pushed on the you know the
00:25:42.380 playground it had to be
00:25:44.480 like a real brawl for you to think about
00:25:46.380 Oh, my goodness gracious.
00:25:48.700 Do you count getting pushed on the playground?
00:25:50.860 What is a fight?
00:25:52.280 That's Matt Walsh's next movie.
00:25:53.820 Does that count?
00:25:54.580 What is a fight?
00:25:55.220 I think you got a swing.
00:25:56.460 I think you need a punch for it to be a fight. 0.78
00:25:57.780 Yeah, I would say, like, landing an actual punch in someone's face 0.79
00:26:00.560 would be maybe enough. 0.99
00:26:01.960 Look, it's whatever that girl in fourth grade did to Michael 0.99
00:26:04.800 when she took his lunch. 0.98
00:26:05.920 Whatever that was, that was a legit fight. 0.98
00:26:09.720 How did she end up in the boys' bathroom? 0.77
00:26:11.100 I don't know.
00:26:11.480 It was just right like that.
00:26:13.320 Close without going over.
00:26:14.460 what percent say they've never been into this fight nine percent i said 24 before the correct
00:26:21.360 answer is 77 so no no that must be never been in a fight no chance that must be how many people
00:26:32.320 don't regularly get into fights well i mean you were raised on the streets in the bronx in new
00:26:35.800 york next to aoc a little north yeah a little slightly north with aoc yeah you know from now
00:26:42.120 on as a public service i might just go around and start randomly hitting dudes to be like there you
00:26:46.840 go specifically kids at schools i'm gonna go around to the school yard and just say kid get
00:26:51.600 over here i remember the first time my daughter when we we homeschooled for every year of her 1.00
00:26:57.440 education except for one and it was fifth grade and she had a girl that like threatened to beat
00:27:01.860 her up and so i said great well i'm just gonna we're gonna teach her how to fight yeah well the 0.99
00:27:06.480 school won't let me fight i said i'll worry about the school i want you to hit her until she stops 0.98
00:27:11.140 moving yeah that's what we trained for i remember they in elementary school and my mother was the
00:27:18.360 italian one my my father's english irish my mother was italian had that sicilian kind of you know
00:27:22.660 attitude and i remember there was this big anti-bullying thing in school and the big message
00:27:27.100 was if anyone ever hits you you don't hit them back you go tell the teacher whatever and i
00:27:33.000 mentioned that to my mother and she was like excuse me uh-uh the very first thing you do
00:27:38.340 The very first thing you do
00:27:40.000 is you hit him back. 0.91
00:27:40.860 Oh, yeah.
00:27:41.180 All right. 0.95
00:27:42.220 I grew up in the generation
00:27:44.220 of you don't start the fight,
00:27:45.340 but you do finish it.
00:27:46.300 Yes.
00:27:46.960 That was the rule.
00:27:47.800 That was the rule.
00:27:48.660 So how old were you
00:27:49.540 in your first fight, Michael?
00:27:51.140 I don't know.
00:27:51.680 I mean, in first grade,
00:27:54.400 I don't know.
00:27:55.060 I'm not saying I was running
00:27:56.440 a chain gang
00:27:57.120 at old Bedford Hills Elementary.
00:27:58.760 I'm just saying kids, boys fight.
00:28:00.600 I don't know.
00:28:00.940 Boys punch each other and stuff.
00:28:02.580 Yeah.
00:28:03.320 Yeah.
00:28:04.020 Elementary school.
00:28:05.340 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:05.940 that's when they throw down man that's when they just get there it's like it's like yeah you take
00:28:11.420 that shelly yeah yeah that could be a boy's name all right next question what is the ideal humidity
00:28:18.220 range and percent for storing cigars in a humidor i i know the actual answer to this i don't know if
00:28:25.020 that if if it agrees with your answer but it gives me a range we'll see if you fall in it and there's
00:28:30.980 the sighted best
00:28:32.620 according to whatever site this was.
00:28:35.380 According to whatever site,
00:28:36.860 this is like so...
00:28:37.840 Tell me what your personal preference is
00:28:39.820 as a human or...
00:28:40.240 It's not my personal.
00:28:41.000 This is the objective answer.
00:28:43.240 It's not even just my personal preference.
00:28:45.220 Hold on.
00:28:45.640 Does Nick have his dent?
00:28:46.220 I wonder if it's different than Nick's.
00:28:47.180 I know Nick's got a few cigars.
00:28:48.660 No, I don't.
00:28:49.840 Really?
00:28:50.560 I don't smoke cigars.
00:28:52.180 You smoked on yes or no.
00:28:53.560 You had a beautiful Mayflower cigar.
00:28:56.100 No, not on yes or no.
00:28:57.160 I smoked on when we presented the gut.
00:29:00.060 oh it was the oh yeah it was the gun day yeah that's true yeah no no it was uh it was reed
00:29:05.260 choy that smoked on uh i mean i know we look exactly alive yeah i always and he's you know
00:29:11.060 you know nick you really you know what movie star you remind me a lot of davies was telling me this
00:29:15.340 the other day denzel washington you know it's like i can't keep you guys apart we're good yeah you
00:29:20.660 know you win michael you win right there because denzel is my favorite revenge flick got man on
00:29:28.360 fire. We actually said this at the last game
00:29:30.360 show that we did together where I said, Man on Fire
00:29:32.660 is like the perfect revenge
00:29:34.380 flick because of my boy Denzel.
00:29:36.380 You know, weird digression.
00:29:38.640 Denzel Washington and I
00:29:40.060 trained with the same acting teacher.
00:29:42.440 And one of us had a slightly better career than
00:29:44.380 the other. I won't say, I don't want to
00:29:46.320 embarrass him, so I won't say which.
00:29:48.420 Okay, that's a digression. I have an answer.
00:29:50.640 Alright, what do you have?
00:29:53.400 69%. Nice.
00:29:54.880 Nice. Nick, what do you have?
00:29:56.320 I said, whatever Noel says, but better.
00:29:58.360 because i have no idea the correct answer is between 65 and 72 percent so michael gets the
00:30:06.480 point and they say most common is 70 but 69 sounds people say 70 71 first of all 69 is funnier but
00:30:14.280 also it's better you people over humidify their cigars it's better to go a little low than to go
00:30:18.740 a little high i like how excited are you about the proposition of us taking cuba uh dude i i've
00:30:25.480 thought about this obviously for decades at this point and the what's going to be so magnificent 0.96
00:30:30.420 it's not even just that we get their cigars which have been largely destroyed by the chinese
00:30:35.180 investment by communism when i get their nice tobacco and then i just start blending in a
00:30:40.040 little bit of their tobacco go down there have a nice little mojito hang on the shores of pinar
00:30:46.820 del rio i don't know whatever it's gonna be great no it's crazy oh yeah it's crazy it may happen in
00:30:51.820 our lifetime. And speaking of lifetimes, what is the current average of life expectancy for men
00:30:56.760 in the United States? Close without going over. Is this inclusive of infant death?
00:31:03.980 I don't know, Knowles. Why are you laughing at infant death? What's the matter with you? It's
00:31:08.400 sick. What is the average life? If you Google this, what is the average life expectancy of
00:31:12.040 men in America? This will come up. What does Google tell you? Yeah. Wow. Okay. Google says,
00:31:17.740 Well, you mean like trans-identifying men? 1.00
00:31:19.560 Yeah, let's trust Google. 0.91
00:31:22.260 Google doesn't know what a man is.
00:31:23.620 How can you even ask at this question? 1.00
00:31:24.940 Incredible answer.
00:31:25.600 I'm going to say 74.
00:31:26.960 I said 78.
00:31:29.540 Oh, Nick, moving back in the lead, 76.5.
00:31:33.700 76.5.
00:31:35.340 What do you mean back in the lead?
00:31:36.300 I was still in the lead.
00:31:37.040 No, I think you were tied now.
00:31:38.060 What's the score now?
00:31:39.180 Oh, you're way in the lead.
00:31:39.900 8-5, Nick.
00:31:40.620 I didn't realize it was such a landslide,
00:31:42.160 just beat down like a guy in the middle school playground.
00:31:44.400 How did we cast the host of this show?
00:31:47.140 how did we cast the guy
00:31:49.560 I don't know what the scores are
00:31:51.660 I don't know what the question is and I got all my 1.00
00:31:53.640 answers from trannies at Google 1.00
00:31:55.160 alright 1.00
00:31:55.980 it helps with casting when you control the entire
00:31:59.860 thing
00:32:00.120 I just think it's nice that you hired 0.87
00:32:03.980 a white guy
00:32:04.680 diversity
00:32:06.640 according to David Buss's famous
00:32:11.480 1989 study and follow ups
00:32:13.600 across 37 plus
00:32:15.480 cultures what is what it was what was men's number one attribute they look for in a long-term
00:32:21.440 relationship is it a physical attractiveness b being kind and understanding c emotional stability
00:32:28.900 and maturity or d intelligence this is for long-term relationship i had a great dinner with
00:32:35.320 david buss and other people in hollywood like 10 years ago and when you said that name it reminded
00:32:42.100 me of that. I hadn't thought about that in a long time.
00:32:44.080 Okay.
00:32:45.540 Knowles just has to remind us he was in Hollywood.
00:32:48.340 No, I...
00:32:49.940 Listen, you know I hate to name drop...
00:32:52.120 Back when I was acting...
00:32:53.820 You know, the only person who hates
00:32:56.060 to name drop more than me is my friend
00:32:58.060 King Charles. Have you heard of him?
00:33:00.160 No, I'm not friends with King Charles.
00:33:03.100 Okay, I say A.
00:33:04.180 Wait, you're friends with King Charles?
00:33:06.080 I don't... No, only the Bonnie Prince, maybe.
00:33:08.380 Not this one.
00:33:10.640 A, make what you have.
00:33:11.880 Attractiveness, right?
00:33:13.300 I said the emotional stability.
00:33:15.960 You guys are both dead wrong
00:33:17.660 because it's be kind and understanding
00:33:20.300 for long-term relationships.
00:33:22.120 For initial interest, Michael's right.
00:33:25.120 Attractiveness is still number one.
00:33:26.820 And it's still way higher 1.00
00:33:28.680 in relation to where women rank it,
00:33:30.720 but it's still not correct. 0.99
00:33:34.180 Looking for emotional stability
00:33:36.160 among that half of the human population,
00:33:39.060 is that sort of like looking for ice cubes in the Sahara?
00:33:41.880 Is that...
00:33:42.560 I bet if it was just narrowed
00:33:43.720 to like the younger generation,
00:33:44.980 then just emotional stability
00:33:45.880 would be like number one.
00:33:46.940 But this is like, we're broad.
00:33:48.800 Well, no, I was thinking like
00:33:49.760 when you're talking about
00:33:50.480 a man looking for a woman
00:33:52.100 for a long-term relationship,
00:33:55.040 emotional stability,
00:33:56.540 which is to say not crazy, right?
00:33:59.760 There is a hot, crazy matrix
00:34:02.340 for a reason.
00:34:04.140 And I was putting emotional stability
00:34:05.740 on the crazy axis.
00:34:08.280 Well, then there's also,
00:34:09.620 it's like what should men look for?
00:34:11.400 and what do men actually look for?
00:34:14.420 And I bet those are different.
00:34:16.620 It has changed.
00:34:17.700 It was hard to find one
00:34:18.680 with like enough data
00:34:20.120 and enough people.
00:34:21.000 This 1989 study
00:34:22.920 was the most thorough,
00:34:23.860 so I used that one,
00:34:24.380 but it has changed.
00:34:25.500 Like currently.
00:34:26.200 So neither one of us
00:34:27.100 get a point on that.
00:34:27.900 The crazy matrix
00:34:29.220 is a little different now.
00:34:30.820 Yeah.
00:34:31.480 So neither one of us
00:34:32.260 get a point on that one.
00:34:33.260 Nope.
00:34:34.160 So I'm still winning, Ben?
00:34:35.960 I'm trying to confuse him.
00:34:37.380 Like he doesn't know the scores.
00:34:39.100 I don't.
00:34:39.280 This is going to really confuse you then
00:34:41.760 because number 15 is
00:34:43.080 the quote big three
00:34:44.920 refers to the three main compound lifts
00:34:47.740 used in strength training
00:34:49.000 and powerlifting.
00:34:50.240 What are they?
00:34:52.360 Is there a multiple choice on this?
00:34:54.720 No.
00:34:55.120 No, no.
00:34:56.840 The three big compound lifts.
00:35:01.240 The lifts themselves?
00:35:03.680 Yeah, what are the names
00:35:04.500 of these three lifts?
00:35:07.260 Okay, I've got three,
00:35:08.300 compounds that I would
00:35:10.140 I've got the three compounds for this question.
00:35:12.800 Oxygen, carbon.
00:35:13.840 What do you have? I have the
00:35:16.120 H2O lift and the
00:35:18.420 NACL lift and my
00:35:20.460 favorite, the FU lift. That's what I
00:35:22.460 have. Fantastic. I have deadlift,
00:35:24.620 bench press, and squat. That is correct.
00:35:26.380 All three. That was my second guess.
00:35:31.680 Excluding
00:35:32.200 biblical accounts, Robert
00:35:34.040 Wadlow is regarded as the tallest man
00:35:36.260 ever recorded. How tall
00:35:38.520 was Mr. Wadlow?
00:35:41.900 All right,
00:35:42.560 what do you have, Michael? I said
00:35:44.220 eight foot six.
00:35:46.840 Nick? I put nine
00:35:48.340 foot eight.
00:35:51.020 Michael gets the point.
00:35:52.360 It is eight feet, 11.1
00:35:54.820 inches. Wow.
00:35:56.220 How tall is the Kandahar Giant? Nick, you
00:35:58.280 would maybe know that better than...
00:35:59.860 Is this the Nephilim
00:36:02.300 we captured? Is that... 0.91
00:36:04.000 Yes, he's at least a cousin of the Nephilim that we breed. 0.97
00:36:07.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:09.300 Oh, I was watching the episode actually last night
00:36:13.140 that he did with Tim.
00:36:15.500 With Tim.
00:36:16.800 Yeah.
00:36:17.400 You know, the crazy thing with Tim,
00:36:19.480 we'll be talking for three hours
00:36:21.300 and for like two hours and 15 minutes,
00:36:23.740 I'm just, yeah, okay, I'm in.
00:36:25.920 This checks out with my priors and my view of the world.
00:36:29.240 And then he'll just come out with something so out there.
00:36:31.840 I say, wait, now I have to rethink everything you've told me
00:36:34.360 for the last two hours.
00:36:35.560 It was a great episode.
00:36:37.340 I really liked it.
00:36:38.780 Yeah.
00:36:39.760 More younger, driest period stuff.
00:36:42.180 I think he's the most frequent guest on that show.
00:36:45.100 He's the only three-peat, I think.
00:36:46.920 Yeah.
00:36:47.420 Did you ever come across stories about the Kandahar Giants?
00:36:51.660 Yes.
00:36:52.320 Yeah.
00:36:52.880 I heard about the one where it was like,
00:36:54.800 we caught this guy in Afghanistan,
00:36:57.300 and he was like the Nephilim or descendant of the Nephilim.
00:37:00.300 Yeah.
00:37:00.740 Yeah, I heard something about it.
00:37:02.600 I didn't serve in Afghanistan, though.
00:37:04.880 But you surely have heard something. 1.00
00:37:06.000 I had to settle for the Iraq giants. 1.00
00:37:07.460 They were like 5'11". 1.00
00:37:08.440 Yeah, what are the... 0.60
00:37:09.260 A giant in Iraq.

00:37:16.960 He's like, wow, he's huge.
00:37:19.380 But when you hear these stories
00:37:21.300 floating around the military
00:37:22.440 of the Kandahar stuff,
00:37:24.220 you don't seem that convinced by them.
00:37:27.300 I never heard that story
00:37:28.580 until I was out and watching
00:37:29.980 something randomly on youtube and i was like what are these guys even talking about yeah okay and
00:37:34.120 again it was probably some navy seal yeah i brought off like giants like oh yeah that's what he really

00:38:06.580 you know what seal stands for right no no sleep eat and lift that's what seals
00:38:12.120 no a lot of them are in pretty good shape just like our the next topic here joey chestnut often
00:38:18.320 regarded as one of the most dominant athletes of all time holding 55 world records across 55
00:38:23.380 different foods. What is
00:38:25.420 the world record for the most hot dogs
00:38:27.620 eaten in 10 minutes by
00:38:29.300 Joey Chestnut? Closest without going
00:38:31.500 over. How many hot dogs did he eat
00:38:33.500 in 10 minutes? It was something
00:38:35.240 ridiculous. Closest without going 0.66
00:38:37.500 over. In 10 minutes? I mean, I could eat
00:38:39.360 like 42.
00:38:40.800 It just set me loose at Costco.
00:38:43.840 So if you're a professional...
00:38:47.140 Michael,
00:38:47.460 there are so many inappropriate jokes I could
00:38:49.540 make. I know. I was holding back.
00:38:51.180 And I want you to know that I am restraining myself.
00:38:53.980 I am trying to be a good Christian example right now.
00:38:59.360 You're like.
00:39:01.200 Got to be a good example of how to be a man, you know?
00:39:03.440 Ten minutes. 0.75
00:39:04.060 Let's suck it up.
00:39:05.440 Ten minutes.
00:39:06.580 Ten minutes.
00:39:09.140 He actually came out of retirement this past year and won again.
00:39:12.640 Wow.
00:39:14.160 Came out of retirement.
00:39:15.640 I love that.
00:39:16.520 What did you do, Grandpa?
00:39:18.240 Well.
00:39:19.800 I'm hanging it up.
00:39:21.180 I'm hanging up my buns.
00:39:23.640 Okay, all right.
00:39:24.800 Anyway.
00:39:25.540 No one's even close to Joey.
00:39:27.880 That's why they regard him as the most dominant athlete of all time.
00:39:31.820 And they're all thin.
00:39:33.080 That's the crazy part.
00:39:35.040 You would think Bubba would be dominating on these, but they don't.
00:39:39.880 All right, Noles, what do you have?
00:39:41.300 Is Michael doing an equation out there?
00:39:43.040 Is he drawing a hot dog?
00:39:44.180 Is that what's going on right now?
00:39:45.220 I'm drawing a hot dog.
00:39:46.540 Yeah, I said 106.
00:39:48.860 I said 72.
00:39:50.960 Oh, the correct answer is 76.
00:39:53.800 Goes to Nick.
00:39:55.120 What an absolute just Michael Knowles in elementary school beatdown that was.
00:39:59.860 That was bad.
00:40:00.320 What's the final score?
00:40:01.640 6-10, Nick.
00:40:03.920 But, hey, it doesn't have to be over because this is a gentleman's game
00:40:07.280 and we can wager something here.
00:40:09.120 Nick, you are the champion right now, but would you like to go for broke,
00:40:13.040 double or nothing, one last question to see who wins this?
00:40:16.640 no because this is no team putting together these questions you asked a question about
00:40:23.440 cigar humidity from a guy that sells cigars just suck it up and be a man let's go we're not gonna
00:40:31.560 i i highly doubt the next question is i would not like to discuss the intricacies of unconventional
00:40:36.960 warfare like that's not gonna be it i love this is really gonna be some question about thomas
00:40:42.480 Aquinas and so no no Michael just loses this is Nick this is the IQ test on this show because he
00:40:50.300 does this all the time Ben he'll say okay well now you won but do you want to just lose for no reason
00:40:56.420 at all and half the time people say yes I do yeah they feel obligated I don't feel obligated I have
00:41:03.220 a certain degree of disagreeableness about myself yeah I'm very comfortable with this stage in life
00:41:07.820 that was the right thing to do I'm so I'm so impressed Nick you're the very first guest that
00:41:12.080 has ever not taken that bait.
00:41:14.360 What a guy.
00:41:15.880 Yeah, if I was losing, sure.
00:41:17.500 If I was tied, maybe.
00:41:18.840 But like, you know, I've crushed this.
00:41:21.060 I know how math works.
00:41:23.120 Yeah. 0.82
00:41:23.560 You are the Kandahar Giant.
00:41:26.120 Well, hold on.
00:41:26.600 I'll save it for my pitch.
00:41:27.520 So I got to say something nice about Nick?
00:41:28.980 Yeah, you have 30 seconds.
00:41:31.000 All right, let's go.
00:41:31.480 Michael, you have a floor.
00:41:32.040 When it comes to face-off,
00:41:34.960 Nick Freitas is the Kandahar Giant
00:41:38.060 with double-triple hyper-thumatic tension in his gulions.
00:41:46.220 Just an absolute towering figure of brains, testosterone, and general virility.
00:41:53.920 And I accept my loss as being fair and square, and I'm in awe of his prowess.
00:42:00.480 I also encourage people to learn how to be like Nick
00:42:04.680 by getting the man book, a point-by-point guide
00:42:08.600 to sucking it up and getting the job done. 0.73
00:42:10.760 I'm sucking it up right now.
00:42:12.200 I'm getting the job done by endorsing Mr. Freitas.
00:42:16.300 And the only thing that allows me to still feel masculine
00:42:19.820 after this profound loss is the gun that Nick gave me,
00:42:24.620 the beautiful excommunicator,
00:42:27.060 my gold Deus volt, Catholic Jerusalem cross, 0.98
00:42:32.480 desert eagle where whereby if anybody makes fun of me for losing this game i'll blow your head off
00:42:39.800 metaphorically well done yeah well and i just want to say that um when michael talked about 0.87
00:42:46.120 my prowess and virility he meant that in the least gay way possible right i just sorry one last answer
00:42:53.140 gay do you want to do the last one just because just because i already wrote it down just yeah 0.68
00:43:01.200 let's make nick lose just all right currently what is the world record for bench press this
00:43:06.160 is not with the aid of a shirt or a lifting shirt okay this is the actual natural bench
00:43:10.080 press world record follow-up question what is a lifting shirt a lifting shirt allows
00:43:14.800 certain human beings to lift more weight than any other movement in all of it even more than
00:43:19.040 squats or deadlifts at i'm not gonna give you the exact number but it's a lot more it's a special
00:43:23.760 shirt to keep your shoulders from dislocating and you can move like it looks ridiculous it's
00:43:27.440 It's not a real bench press.
00:43:28.960 Okay.
00:43:29.460 I'm not doing kilograms because I'm an American and we got bombs.
00:43:32.200 We do pounds the way God intended.
00:43:33.920 Yeah.
00:43:34.900 I think I know what it is.
00:43:36.880 What is the most?
00:43:37.540 So no lifting shirt.
00:43:38.640 No lifting shirt.
00:43:39.400 The shirtless bench press.
00:43:40.960 Michael was really curious because the lifting shirt would have changed my number.
00:43:44.740 I'm going to say 512 pounds.
00:43:52.260 Okay.
00:43:53.000 Nick.
00:43:55.120 Nick's like, I see that every morning.
00:43:57.440 No, the natural shirtless record is 782.6.
00:44:03.800 So Michael would have actually got that.
00:44:06.580 The shirt world record is 1,400 pounds, which is absolutely insane.
00:44:10.700 That's crazy.
00:44:11.900 Yeah, okay, I must have been thinking about that.
00:44:13.780 I wasn't making a distinction.
00:44:14.580 I knew it wasn't 512.
00:44:16.200 That's like.
00:44:16.960 Yeah.
00:44:17.700 Yeah, no, yeah, no, me too.
00:44:20.880 I misspoke.
00:44:21.900 I meant to say a higher number.
00:44:23.280 512 is easy.
00:44:25.140 It's totally easy.
00:44:25.940 I thought it was higher than that for a natural one
00:44:28.540 because I was
00:44:29.500 looking up something the other day on what the highest 0.93
00:44:32.420 female, the highest, I think, female 1.00
00:44:34.260 bench press is over 500 pounds. 1.00
00:44:36.760 Yeah, no, that's what I was
00:44:38.400 thinking of because I do about 7'10".
00:44:41.540 Maybe that was the shirt.
00:44:42.820 Maybe that was the lifting shirt.
00:44:44.020 It's got to be a lifting shirt.
00:44:45.580 Well, there you have it. If you haven't already, go...
00:44:48.400 Michael, you're cutting me off
00:44:50.220 on the clothes, man. I said lifting skirt
00:44:52.180 more like when it's a lady doing it. 1.00
